Blur - Fool's Day

Single released for Record Store Day.

[@alexewart7764]

Criminal that this is not on Spotify

[@billystinker]

Yeah it's 'criminal'...? Is it?

[@kmbardisa4920]

Agreed

[@missaelmtz3132]

It used to be :(

[@nicolasmrn]

the same happens with another great Damon song: Do ya thing

[@dogpetdog]

Get a frigging record player and buy the record, hipster

[@KitsGravity]

One of the best songs of Blur in my opinion!

[@urineanxiety]

yeah man it's insane

[@stefanoguidoni7119]

Missing this on spotify, like other great tunes

[@djde4th877]

facts, this and "Repition"

[@belles_ty7053]

it’s my fav

[@Aaron-uq6ot]

@@djde4th877repitition is on spotify :)

[@lisazoria2709]

I wish Blur had released an entire album around that time with more stuff like this!

[@NowhereMan7]

I think its good that they dont have a whole load of mediocre albums like Oasis. At least theres that.

[@Elfwald]

Have you heard Magic Whip?

[@Blade2vampirerave]

Elfwald or Think tank?

[@bornforluck]

Agreed... It sounds great!

[@KalamariKing23]

Like with songs like "coffee and tv" on it, I hear ya

[@3THREEIII]

Happy April Fools Day 2024!

[@nickhulston5842]

Coxon's guitar at the end 😍

[@latenightlogic]

Hard to believe a late career song - released as a record store day limited edition vinyl with no distinct chorus - could end up being a candidate for Blurs best song.

[@NowhereMan7]

Its a really nice tune but it sounds like you need to hear The Universal again. Even if you take a classic Blur song in a similar groove to this like Coffee and TV it really is no comparison. Still a great song though and one I come back to every now and then.

[@elduuude]

@@NowhereMan7 I beg to differ. I love "The Universal" and "Coffee and TV" but this one pops up in my head again and again and again, more often than the two songs mentioned (which also do pop up in my head). It's a matter of personal taste in the end. For me, this one's top 3, at least. It's one of my all time favourite songs by any artist.

[@HolocronStudios]

@@elduuude to me it’s just interesting how one band can have so many different styles of music in their catalogue. You cannot pick one to be their best, or their anthem as one track cannot sum up their career.

[@rutheverett7936]

100% agree - I adore this song

[@ModelMan]

yep its incredible

[@olivesaregreat5554]

I could listen to that outro for days

[@BrendenTurtle]

This song needs a music video. When I listen to it I imagine a guy on a bike riding through the city.I don't know,just imagine that.

[@valentintanczik7611]

BrendenTurtle probably because he describes how he is riding his bike ; )

[@sratus]

Brenden - Comedy, Facts and Gaming! Yeah Brendan it's probably definitely the lyrics that are creating that vivid image for you - just a hunch

[@biponacci]

So give me cof- hang on nope wrong one

[@mattludlam2194]

Absolutely addicted to the outro 😌

[@twochordcool]

Matt Ludlam Yeah man, everything after that guitar solo, that "release", is pure bliss!

[@KitsGravity]

Same :)

[@magdalenarudinac7115]

Wake up straight, caught out by the sun
On the first day of April
Out of bed, Lord, it was a plane crash
But I'm sure that I was dreaming
TV on, I blast caffeine
A science of submission again
Another day on this little island
Just a bell hangs on
[Verse 2]
Porridge done, I take my kid to school
Passed the pound shop, Woolworths
Under bridge, where the subway sees the daytime
And the Westway flies by
Then on my bike, down the Ladbroke Grove
To the forthcoming dramas
A studio and a love of all sweet music
We just can't let go
Let go, let go, let go, let go
[Verse 3]
So meditate on what we've all become
On a cold day in spring time
Civil war is what we were all born into
Raise your left hand, right, sing
Don't capitulate to the forces of the marketplace
They're long departed
Consolidate the love we bear together
On a cold day in spring time

[@firzen3697]

Amazing lyrics.

[@stuart792]

thank you

[@danielacontadora95]

Gracias!

[@stuart792]

Encore merci c'est toujours cool d'avoir les lyrics

[@aaronreyesramos]

Thanks!

[@dafunken]

Love the mood and lyrics of this song, always loved them.
Perfectly captures the comforting yet slighly melancholic repetition of everyday life, of going through different chores amid grey London days and cool spring weather.

[@EmMariana-px6do]

Can’t believe I got to hear this live

[@kurtfirla1871]

Me too, such a great show

[@terrysilver89]

Why is this so incredible forever x

[@next281]

I want Blur to select this song as the next album's title song... This song is splendid!!!

[@giuseppeloburgio7810]

[@emmymofield1382]

how

why must blur's unreleased tracks be the best ones?
