  • "No Distance Left to Run" is a song by Blur. It is on their 1999 album 13 and was also released as a single, reaching #14 in the UK Singles Chart. It is widely understood to refer to Blur vocalist Damon Albarn's protracted split from long-term lover Justine Frischmann (Elastica's lead vocals).
    Damon Albarn says that he is quite affected of this song: "It upsets me, that song. It upset me singing it. Doing that vocal upset me greatly. To sing that lyric I really had to accept that that was the end of something in my life. It's amazing when you do have the guts to do that with your work, because it don't half help you."
    The promotional video directed by Thomas Vinterberg is notable for using night-vision cameras to capture all four members of the band asleep in their respective beds. A DVD version was also released that featured a short documentary about the making of the video. Alex James reportedly dreamt that he "was in Germany in a karaoke bar. I think I was a leopard for a minute."

    I just broke up with my girlfriend. We had so many good times, just hanging around, the lovemaking, everything was beautiful.
    I found out that she was cheating on me, all her promises went to the trash.
    At first I was even trying to forgive her but, "I won't kill myself trying to stay in her life".
    Thanks Blur for explaining the unexplainable for me.

    • @robsdianten1

      It's something that only sensitive people (as Coxon) can do. He once said in an interview he is more creative with his guitar lines when he is trying to express others' emotions and feelings through the guitar and add that he struggles creating guitar lines that express his own feeling. That's why he often prefer compose about other's lyrics.

    Graham was by far the greatest British guitarist of the 90’s. He serves the songs. He’s the perfect counterpoint to Damon’s songs. Melodic, inventive, interesting with some great reinterpretation of the past.

    Damon knows how to use his voice very well, which varies from song to song. One might not describe it as perfect, but it's the hoarse and broken part that makes it so special and fit into a particular tune.
