    I can't remember the last time a song gave me goosebumps. I can't believe just how incredibly beautiful the chorus is, that contrast between an upbeat, uplifting melody and the crushingly sad lyrics. This is a masterpiece.

    Who blinks first?
    You're gonna win
    The fallen doves of lovers' vows
    In the world all around us
    And I'd like, if you've got the time
    To talk to you about what this breakup has done to me
    I have lost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose
    Now where am I going?
    At what cost, the feeling that I thought I'd never lose
    Now you can't play to every taste
    The powder keg of common cause
    All of us carry trauma
    And in owe of an explanation
    I will pour oil from the cup on the pyre of abdication
    You have lost
    The feeling that you thought you'd never lose
    Now wherе are you going, darling?
    At what cost, the feeling that you thought you'd nevеr lose
    And it is barbaric
    Empty grove, winter darkness
    We're taking down the scaffolds very soon
    Grow dappled, the lonely baubles on the plane tree
    The can of soup and heating up to ten
    Which leads me to the part
    Where we agreed on different dreams
    That we had lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    Now where are we going?
    At what cost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    It is barbaric
    We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    Now where are we going?
    We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    It is barbaric, darling
    We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    Now where are we going?
    We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    It is barbaric

    "I have lost, the feeling that I thought I never lose". Joder, que gran canción y que gran álbum se marcó Damon y compañía. A pesar de que la canción pueda ser romántica, o no, acerca del fin de una relación, yo siento que a mí me habla de otra cosa. Perdimos ese sentimiento que pensamos que nunca íbamos a perder. Para mi ese sentimiento es el significado de la vida. Siento que como generación hemos perdido el camino, que todos vamos por ahí sin rumbo, perdimos la alegría, ese sentimiento, esa emotividad, esa llama de esperanza, esa rebeldía en cierta forma. Conforme pasan los años y nos volvemos viejos, cada vez lo que alguna vez le dábamos significado deja de tenerlo, ya no lo valoramos como antes. Y a pesar de que en mi caso fue algo bueno para mejora personal, siento que al perder todo lo que alguna vez me gustaba, lo que pensaba, lo que predicaba, y por lo que luchaba, ha hecho que no me queden motivos para seguir. No sé, llámenme romántico o alguna otra cosa, pero siento que las cosas son así desde mi opinión. Que gran álbum de Blur, un álbum altamente melancólico, reflexivo, tranquilo, que es justo lo que necesitaba. Pero eso sí, con unos ritmos para mover el esqueleto aunque sea un rato. Un abrazo a todos

    I got into Blur through Modern Life is Rubbish and Parklife in the mid 90s. And I've been following everything everyone of them has done since then. So much brilliant music. And they keep producing and producing. Not just Damon (please check The Waeve as well and Dave's solo debut). And while later tracks like "Fool's Day" and "Under the Westway" are some of my absolute favourite Blur songs, I honestly did not think that I could be this enthusiastic about a Blur album again. It's amazing, and it keeps growing and growing on me. How can a band that has existed for 35 years release such a fresh, relevant and brilliant album? Just having bought my first record player, I even had to order the zoetrope vinyl version. I urge everyone to listen to the whole album!
