Lyrics:
He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow
Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make you sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the West way
So we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow
Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow
She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow
Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow
Jim stops and gets out of the car
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate
Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on
Turns it off and makes some tea
Says modern life is rubbish
I'm holding on for tomorrow
Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, "let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there, and the view's so nice"
London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose
You're holding on for tomorrow
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). Seven 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, is the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Ballad of Darren (2023).

What a time to be a blur fan
My twelve years of interest have finally paid off 😂
Between this, the reunion tour and the B-roads leak, this year is shaping up to be a great one
@@linksauce_1 Wait..... b-roads?! Woah
@@linksauce_1🥹 b-roads leak?!?!?! Where pls!
@@PenguinBooks365 it’s on YT somewhere. It’s called blur 1995 documentary or something like that
Ikr
Finally, now I can fall in love with damon again IN COLOR!!
SO REAL
that's on periodt
Same
he’s so beautiful 🙏🤧
Yet again I wish I was the girl rolling down the hill with him, for the first time in colour 😭x
Imagine being a girl in '93 and having the honor of rolling around in Damon's embrace on Primrose Hill.
Agree
My god
Who is his co-star in the video?
Wow.... I imagine that too
@@glx3846 It's only bloody Kathy Kiera Clarke who plays Aunt Sarah in Derry Girls! Who knew!?
Such an underated song! Easily one of the top 10 Blur's songs.
Great song 👍
It's not underrated. It's considered one of the best
@@mike365fly ...for Blur's fans. I mean, is not that popular like Song 2, Coffee and Tv or even The Universal.
Modern Life Is Rubbish, is probably their best crafted LP
13
a huge fan since There’s No Other Way, blown away by MLIR, saw them for the first of 8x on The Great Escape in NYC Beetlebum is my favorite song all time but i have to agree that 13 is next level in craft and emotion. nothing like being the front man of the best band in England and still being so dissatisfied that Justine Frischmann dumps you. unlucky
13
best crafted is sayin a lot cuz they got like 8 a those but is it probably the most cohesive and consistent sound-wise
Modern life is still rubbish, great band 👍
Seeing it in color really changes the tone of the music video. The original feels so somber and lost, like clinging to life when one is suicidal, but in color it’s like seeing the world as it really is. A beautiful place where happiness can be found around us
The original version looked like it was trying to be from about 1963, and the only anachronisms were two background cars and that Sony TV showing the album title.
Lol no freak
Russia did bucha…
@@tubisi search "blur - for tomorrow". there still exists a terrible quality upload from the band themselves. or if you prefer high definition videos, try making this video black and white
@@tubisijust search up “for tomorrow music video” or go to their channel you’ll find it!
Thanks Damon, Graham, Alex, Dave and the entire staff behind this beautiful restoration :')
U q wea
“Beautiful” except for the fact they literally cut the top and bottom parts of the video off to force it to be a wider screen. So dumb that they didn’t seem to give a fk about the value of the work of the original film crew.
@@pyenapple Yeah, I noticed that too, but nothing is perfect and at least they kept the original clip intact, they didn't replace it like in the 4K version of Beetlebum and Song 2
@@pyenapple There is way more image on the right and left side and the loss of image above and below is hardly noticeable, I just compared both videos
So young. So visionary. The colour version makes it somehow both more of it's time and more timeless.
So young & lovely.
Its.
Damn can't believe they went back in time to film this with color
Let's hold each other tightly like it's 1993
That's the best advice. World gone totally mad in 30 years... I wish we could be as careless now.
Hasn’t it just, oh how it felt like yesterday watching that star shaped video as a youngen.
Omg yes look how far we’ve all come 😅
We’re all old :(
THE WAY HE WALKS WITH THE DOG I CANT
The original greyscale version still hits different. But it's nice to see this again in full color 🙏🙏🥺❣️❣️
Plus this version was cropped vertically so there’s actually LESS video happening visually here in each frame than the original
Que lindo verlo el video asi ❤
@@pyenapple sure about that?
@@pyenappleYep, there's less image at the top and bottom, but there's also more image at the sides, compare it with the OG b&w video
@@lady_agitha5976 i am happy they did it, but…why ruin the original director’s framing? It’s bizarre to me. If something was filmed to be framed on old TV’s leave it that way, otherwise you completely devalue the expertise of the film crew. So weird.
I've almost cried watching this... It's a different time in my life since I first knew this band. It literally changed my life in so many ways.
Is criminal how an album released before I was born makes me feel so nostalgic. Happy 30 years Modern life is rubbish 🥳. Yes, you were (and still are) so true on that statement.
I hear you. I'm a 65-year old in Florida who just heard this for the first time, and it makes me nostalgic for a time and place I have never come close to experiencing. But my ancestors were Brits, so maybe that counts...
I feel very fortunate to have been a Blur fan since the beginning. This was an amazing time to be a music fan. British Indie/Brit Pop ❤
Happy 30th birthday Modern Life Is Rubbish! I brought the cassette tape 30 years ago in the summer of 93 after watching blur play live at Reading and the album became one of the most important records of my life.
Roll on Wembley!
absolutely beautiful restoration, makes the song even more poignant somehow seeing all those places and faces in colour, thank you 🥹
Except they cropped off the top and bottom to make it fit youtube’s wider proportions so now it looks incredibly cramped vertically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@pyenapple Original aspect ratio should have been preserved. This should be a general basic rule.
@@debranchelowtone exactly!! I’m baffled as to why they threw that out the window here. It literally looks vertically cramped now.
0:59 "Dwight K. Schrute, assistant to the regional manager"
I'm a huge film digital restoration nerd as well as a Blur fan so this is incredible to see. The upgrade in quality from the old video master to the original film is one of the most dramatic I've ever seen
Hey you should look up a band called The Doublejumps if you like Blur
Another upgrade that comes to mind is the one done for "D'you know what I mean?"by Oasis. Check it out if you haven't seen it yet
@@etmafra That video restoration is amazing! Looks like it's been filmed with today's technology.
Love being a young blur fan
Takes me back to being a music obsessed teenager in the 1990s. Love this track so much.
Hey you should look up a band called The Doublejumps if you like Blur
I was in my late-20's when this came out.
what would make you stop being music obsessed?
Im a 36 year old who loved Blur growing up in Scotland. My first ever concert was Blur live at the SECC. I now work in the Ambulance Service in England. I brought in 2023 on duty and we drove our ambulance to the top of Primrose Hill and watched the fireworks with hundreds of Londoners... and in the same year Blur release this... what a time to be a Blur fan.
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him
Ambulance by Blur should be your song
❤ I'm 8 years old, hearing this song, and falling in love with Damon and his music. 30 years on... I'm still in love with him and his music. The man has never let me down ❤
Wow. Utterly beautiful. Never get bored of this song and the colour video is stunning.
I love the black and white in the original, but it is so nice to finally see the colours!!
Except it’s cropped vertically now so everything looks weirdly off
@@pyenappleIt looks fine. 😂
30 years of Modern Life Is Rubbish. I'm nearly 20 and only discovered this album in 2019, and I'm so glad that I did. 😍
I discovered this album in the same year XD
This music makes me nostalgic for England. Even though I live in Florida and haven't actually been there...
One of the greatest bands ever ❤
Damon in 4K, we didn't ask for that much! 😍
The colouring completely changes the feel of the video. I don't know about anyone else, but it makes it easier for me to follow what's going on in the video. And the upgrade in clarity/sharpness... it's immense
Una de las canciones más infravaloradas de Blur
keee jjsajaj es de las más conocidas. O,O
infravalorada cómo?
infravaloradas, Bad Day, Oily Water o Miss America.
Siii, no sé si es la mejor pero es la que le tengo más cariño de blur❤
@@matteojt1989 country sad ballad man
Damn
There’s something so beautiful about this video that makes me nostalgic for experiences I’ve never had ❤
OMG! The clarity. Loved the orignal vid, but love this even more! Oh, 1993 London, I miss you so
Wow i'm so hyped to see Damon on colored for tomorrow !
This British guys are terrific. Dave, Graham, Alex, Damon... I like them.
Brilliant to see this in full, vibrant colour. A true classic, tomorrow is endless in its possibilities.
Seeing this in full color makes me wanna cry
What a lovely.
BLUR is Fantastic from JAPAN.

London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose
You're holding on for tomorrow
Thank you
Absolutely amazing! Your music will heal us for generations to come. My husband is nine years older than me, and we are both sooo excited, eagerly awaiting your show in Colombia. He's in tears due to the nostalgia, and so am I, because my dream has come true. We will love you forever, thank you for coming back ☄️🪐🩷

everyone falling in love with damon just like 30 years ago
I'M CRYING THE QUALITY IS SO GOOD
I love this song
Graham is even more precious in color
2:18 what a beautiful sound
In my top 3 of bands to ever exist, simply never gets boring listening to Blur - love them from Leisure to now at 51 years old and still reminiscing about my student daze.
it's like nostalgia in a time and place you've never been in
Blur’s music videos are so inspirational to me. They’re some of the best in the game! As an artist and musician myself, these videos embody what I want to create for my band!
When they do this track live its just phenomenal. So amazing to see this again in this colour version...
Now THIS is how a remastered music video should look…
It is so disburbing but so beautiful and magic. I never thought I would see this one day.
I hope they do Chemical World next.
Me too !
Same
Oh yes
but its already in color
@@miskay5526 remaster it
LETS GOOOOOO THE BEST BLUR SONG IN COLOUR YEAAAA
London hasn't changed that much, show this footage to anyone, they'd think it's from 2023.
Funny how in the 90s this was supposed to be reminiscent of the 60s, and yet now we are reminiscing about the 90s. In colour.
Awwwlook at the parkas ! Just beautiful….
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him
Here's a challenge: listen to the entire Blur catalogue but take a shot every time they say the word 'century'
A new tour, a clip restored…Imagine a new album 😳
“Restored” except they cropped off the top and bottom compared to the original video so now it feels vertically cramped
You don't have to imagine any longer.
The Ballad of Darren on sale now.
Their new stuff is up there with their best.
Enjoy 🙏
@@pyenappleAre you gonna call it *cramped* on every comment saying the remaster is good? 😂
@@CJFS00s yes if i can time travel back 9 months and also keep encountering ignorant people who don’t know what “aspect ratio” means.
@@pyenappleoh brother go outside
y’know I’m starting to feel like I should frolic around in fields more often
I am forever 17 years of age when I listen to MLIR, I just wish I’d aged as well. Ace to see the boys are back playing those songs we all love so much along with new stuff too. 🙏🏻 WEMBLEY 👊👊👊👊❤️
HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH
one of my favorites songs of them! such a melancholic lyrics
2:09 My favorite part, 4ever Blur 🎹🥁🎉
It’s so weird feeling to watch something colourful that all the life with you and what was always gray. What expected to be tomorrow finally became today 😊
Actually made me feel emotional. Absolutely iconic ❤
@SamuelEMPowell131Why you spamming this on *EVERY* reply? 😂
He has served and ate fr 1:38
This is my favourite song from my favourite album of theirs. Weird to see the video all in colour after all these years. Thank you.
must be Blur's most underrated song
if you like this you might like my brothers music. His name is Stu Morris and 'She has a Car' is a good song by him
The happiest 4:18 of my life whenever things get a little fraught out there. 30 years ago I bought this in woolworths as a single, saw then play an acoustic version at XFM festival in Finsbury park and today on the other side of the world, I'm still waiting 'For Tomorrow'.....
Timeless Beautiful Song!!!
I love Damon Albarn!!!
Damon is pure genius!!!
We need "to the end " in colour now🎉
I really love this song, it's so perfect, I love blur,😜
seeing damon roll down the hill with that girl in 4k color changed my life THANK YOU BLUROFFICIAL
This is a huge difference in how I feel watching this compared to the original... And I could actually see what was going on lol
love the older one for its charm, but i quite literally could not see shit
I love London🙌❤️💙
Wow 💋 I'm 62 and love music from 80' / 90' ❤ This is a beautiful trip down memory lane ❤ Love you guys 💋🇩🇰
Nice restoration of the video, the colors pop out more. It now also serves as a time capsule of what London looked like in 1993. Iconic song album, it's my favorite of theirs besides Blur and 13.
talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before......
the original video is beautiful of course but this is just magical. this whole year is like christmas for blur fans omg
Mind blown and the videos not even out yet
screaming, crying and throwing up i can't wait
Blur is coming to Japan in August❣️
I'm really looking forward to it, you know❣️
one of my faves
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM LIVE IN JUNE 😻😻😻😻
13years old again, thanks for the quality that this video/song deserves 😊 la la lalala la la la la
Stunning! So grateful this has been released. ❤️
I was revisiting old playlists of mine as I was a huge Blur fan in high school (that makes me sound old- I'm 22) and omg!! I'm so glad I looked up this song on UA-cam. I loved the original so much but watching it in colour is like experiencing it again for the first time. Thank you, it looks wonderful and ugh its just one of those music videos that leave me with a smile on my face.
The song that really got me into Blur back in 1993, my first job delivery driving Modern Life Is Rubbish album pumping on the tape player in the van ;)
If they'd never released a song before or since, it wouldn't matter...we have this and the video that goes with it ❤
Me encanta cómo parece el video de una banda actual. Blur es atemporal, y For Tomorrow es sin duda una de sus mejores canciones.
So much better and there are scenes and details you wouldn't otherwise see in the original. It's almost a different video. Thanks!
To see a 30 year old song in Colour AND in 4K for the first time ever is music Heritage..Perfection!
nice. . I'm glad they kept the blur genre. . they are not afraid of losing their fans, because they maintain a blur song genre. . I'm a blur fan in '90. . xoxo
I love this video, so romantic and carefree
Just one word: nostalgia
its like my favorite blur video and now i can see it in the high quality with the beautiful colors
thank you!
im so overwhelmed with all updates
Miss these teenage years! Thank you Blur for making it great!
