About Blur:
Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Five successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Magic Whip (2015), started life in Hong Kong when the band had an unexpected break in touring in May 2013.

I really love all blur member, they are charming and attractive in their own way
Tanya Sparrow Do you like the music of each blur member ?
Except for Dave...
@@kennethguitarfiend4493 I'd change Dave a thousand times for Alex, though
I love the sight of them all grinning towards the fans and Damon punching the air. Look like they enjoyed themselves!
I'm legit alarmed how long ago this was. I feel like last summer I was like, "oh look new Blur songs!"
i'm here having this feeling too
Yyyeah. It doesn't feel like that long ago they did this performance.
There has been more time elapsed from this song to now than blur breaking up to this song...
The fact that in 2 years the Magic Whip will be 10yo really gets me an strange feeling...
i hate to compare this group to the beatles, but they come close....for me...
Beck something similar. "The OTHER fab four" was how he described them. On an instagram post a few years ago.
Indeed; Blur & XTC I think
Alex's shirt, jacket and shorts combo here was of course his indirect way of telling his wife, kids and the World that he had always actually quite fancied men.
That comment made me laugh for a minute straight, well done.
Glad it brought a smile to someone's face :-)
Feargal Ó Gadhra How so ?
I love the "la la la la"s in the song
Joan Wilcox like lot's of groups before that
One of my favorite parts of blur is the la la's!
I think my favourite thing about this are Alex James's bemused expressions throughout.
the last note that graham accidently plays is just the classic graham coxon thing.
Blur,even after all these years, never cease to amaze me
[Verse 1]
Now, are we institutionalised by the demands of today?
In our regalia, are we okay?
Because the flash of a blade is one less getting paid there in the lines
And the ice and the gold is just a double code, it's a paradigm
[Chorus]
For every little thing that fashion gives you, yeah
[Verse 2]
So the puritan on a Monday morning said, "Happy sad melody"
I'm waltzing on an amazing pulse in a pornographic sea
Where the absent blade is one less in parade to throw overboard
And the ice and the gold is just a double code, it's a metaphor
[Chorus]
For every little thing that fashion gives you, yeah
[Verse 3]
I'm falling into something that play upon the metronome in your heart
It's smoke and it's mirrors until the auto-cue starts
Then the dry ice comes and we start sucking our thumbs on the TV
And the joy of people spirited away so merrily
[Chorus]
It's part of every little thing that fashion gives you, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
Here we go
[Outro]
La la la, la, la la la, la
La la la, la la...
(Hey puritan, hey puritan)
La la la, la, la la la, la...
(What you gonna do about it?)
La la la la la...
(It's all smoke and mirrors)
La la la, la, la la la, la...
(What you gonna do about it?)
La la la la la...
(Hey puritan, hey puritan)
La la la, la, la la la, la...
(What you gonna do about it?)
La la la la la...
La la la, la, la la la, la
(What you gonna do about it?)
La la la la la...
La la la, la, la la la, la.
Mis ojos no pueden creer la tremenda obra de arte que acabo de ver.... Definitivamente estoy enamorada de Blur
I was in that crowd of punters on the street. Good memory! :)
you mean you were at that very moment while they were filming those videos??
weswally1 How did that come to be ?
I was working a few tube stops away and read the news they were premiering new songs on a Blur forum if I remember correctly! Headed straight down after work
Was it on Latimer Road?
The feeling of them playing together is exactly the same as 10 years ago. And I will awalys love them for the next "no matter how many years.
...the best song of the year by far!! This is simply stunning!!
あと２ヵ月で彼らの12年ぶりのアルバムが聴ける！まるで夢のような出来事ですが、これを機会に改めて過去の楽曲を聴いて待ってようと思います☆
USTEDES SI Q NO DEJAN DE SORPRENDER SIEMPRE CON BUENA MUSICA :)
Two words: Alex's Shorts.
This song is the song that plays when you've been accepted into heaven.
How they managed to compare this band with Oasis? Unbelievable. This band is much more talented, cooler and music is way better.
Enkh Ulziibayar More talented - yes
The Dram Really Made Them Popular i Believe
That’s what I’ve been saying since the 1990s...!!!
100% true!
They don't look much different to how they looked in 1995. How the fuck do they do it? :)
They drink plenty of water, dude! That's it.
dazzlerby The amount of alcohol they drank in the 90s would make you blind
fedemonsalve I should be blind with the amount of alcohol I drink now! But seriously, water is the key to health.....and exercise.
Never having a job
money
Why do people complain about them being old? Why don't they want a new album? Just because you're so narrow-minded to anticipate that you will not like their new sound doesn't mean they shouldn't make a new album. If you don't want them to record something new, don't listen to it.
They are so old, damn! i love them
The wink at 1:21
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalaalalalalalalalalalalala.......ah yes...lovin it!!!
I swear Damon hasn't once changed his clothes since the Brits in February! Love him to bits though.
Dos palabras....LOS AMOOOOOO ♥
Dave fuckin KILLING IT right at the end
took me a few listens to let the track grow on me. it sounds like something you'd find off mlir. love it.
The power of Blur! They come back and kick so many asses! Please come in Italyyyy!
i want my coffee and TV... still eating this new one
OASIS Y BLUR LAS ULTIMAS GRANDES BANDAS DEL 2000.
" la la la lala" i loved it !!!! Just Blur!🎶🌹✨❤
WHY DOES GRAHAM HAVE TO BE SO ADORABLE? A;LSLKDJFL;K
This song and it’s lyrics.

I don't know about you but I just love Dave.
I love you Damon💫💫💫
OMFG finally :D new blur music :DDD
This song made me feel all bubbily and happy inside! I just want to dance and laugh and stop caring about all the problems!
GREAT
I love blur
Playing on the roof: reminds me to some other group!

You Are My Legend.

Class
VEVO hatred is so annoying. They uploaded good-to-great quality versions of official videos. I don't see the big deal. I find this preferable to 240p videos uploaded by random people, even if this would be "less corporate."
this videoclip is wonderful!!!!!!!!! i love it..
Fantastic
buena cancion, ojala y pronto saquen nuevo album aunque esten un poco viejos
this is class!
about time they all got together - even if it is just for a final jam. long live brit pop
Excellent!!!!
ya se le ven los años jajaa! esta buena la canción !!
genialidad de banda
I love the guys! Great new performances :)
wow really loving this reunion looking forward 2 a future album, just need oasis to reform again and it'll all feel like some weird 90's acid flashback :))
Alex is making the funniest faces LOL
"are we institutionalized by the demands of today" whilst having a vevo account
i think this is gonna be perfect sing along song for HYDE PARK soon!!
Happiness living in the same age as Blur😀
I love how they take a bow in front of the city at the end lol :D
love the song and the way alex goes all piano player from sparks between 1:20 and 1:30! lol. poor old dave looks like hes gonna keel over towards the end though!!!
How do bands perform on top of cold roofs?
And why is Alex wearing shorts?
the coolest nerds ever walking on this earth
Alex es perfectooooooo
omg i really do love those shorts alex! haha XD
I love Alex James' vibes
yeaaah BLUR AGAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN YEAAAHHHHH YEAHHH
I love that Damon is wearing the oxblood Doc Martin's
Muito bom!!
Coxon💞
With this video and song, we came back to 1993.
2012 and the Olympics were 8 years ago? God I feel old.
make an album, make an album, make an album....
I could keep saying lalalala lalalala lalalala till the end of times.
Is this actually live? We can see Dave playing the drums at the beginning, but only a drum machine can be heard. It seems inconsistent...
Graham and Damon are definitely live. Dave is playing alongside a drum machine. Alex isn't doing much though; I think most of the bass is on a backing track (1:20)? There's also the mellotron(?) at the beginning which also must be on tape.
Cheese making really takes it out of you.
was recorded in latimer road, i was there by the mot garage!!!!!
Loving the shorts
dave looks like hes about to have a heart attack at about 2:21!!!!
Still hot!
Blur, Pulp, Suede... gee. I guess you're right...
hhhaaahaha! seriously man.. dave aged so much!
lovely tune though!
intro for this reminds me of grandfathered by nathan fake
Only view 302? Like London buses... no Blur songs, then two come along at once. Not sure I want to get on either of them for very long. Sorry.
