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.

Passed Alex James in the street the other day. Told him that night was one of the best nights I'd ever had. He smiled and said, "Cheers".
Charlie Chipchase Chee(r)se
Birzhansal Mukanov He was just thinking about cheese.
@@callumfisher8101 he said cheese not cheers😅
@@birjarq the youtube translation for this comment is really... something.
Join us next week for an episode of "things that didn't happen".
Only blur can sing a song about a heavily-used roadway and make it sound so beautiful.
I love a lot of bands but no one like Blur, I love them deeply I don't know like real love it's hard to explain...thanks blur, for everything..
Riviere8281 i'm crying
😂
Me too! This band is like soundtracks of my whole life #BlurForLife
It's a wierd love with ur favourite artists and actors...where you wonder if they'd like you if you were fortunate enough to meet them..I can't explain it either🤗
i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream newly released tv shows online ?
I tried.
I tried really hard not to cry.
Damon, you have a beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing it with us.
I love how people already knew the all the words even though the song had been out for less than a month.
i cried because their awesomeness
Quite possibly the best song Blur has ever produced.
No.
Carlibengarli two words for you: Black Book.
this is beautiful, but Beetlebum is one of the best songs ever imo
+pigammon Popscene, pfft :P
Oskar Wernberg true! trimm trabb as well
I honestly think that this song is 1 of the most beautiful ever recorded
Holy Shit I feel like crying and i dont know why! What the hell blur?!? Why you have to be so awesome? , also Albarn voice as he grows older gets more melancholic or thats just me? xD
i cried too. its so beautiful
I think he sums up optimism and melancholy all in one song, which is the state human life. Crying doesn't have to be sad, it can be for happy.
Yes Indeed!!!
this song always makes me cry, god I love it so much. I love blur so much, they're such an amazing band
i just wanna say thank u, Damon.
Never been a massive Blur fan and I'm not a Londoner (though I do love the place) yet I find this beautiful song strangely and intensely moving. It plays a very Beatleesque trick in as much as the sentiment and meaning is largely conveyed by the melody and arrangement not by the lyric. In saying that, the drop out at the end when he sings "Hallelujah" has had me in tears this afternoon. Stunning!
graham still has his abyss shirt!
More than 3 years later, this still brings a tear to the eye
Almost 8 years :')
MY HEART CANT THIS why did i just watch the live video till today ??? the audio of this song has already got me crying ...
There were blue skies in my city today
Everything was sinking
Said snow would come on Sunday
The old school was due and the traffic grew
Upon the Westway
Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
Down to earth where the money always comes first
And the sirens sing
Bring us the day they switch off the machines
'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
An automated song and the whole world gone
Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate
Still picking up shortwave
Somewhere they're out in space
It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
Under the Westway
Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
Doing one eighty still standing at last call
When the flags coming down
And the Last Post sounds
Just like a love song
For the way I feel about you
Paradise not lost it's in you
On a permanent basis I apologize
But I am going to sing
Hallelujah
Sing it out loud and sing it to you
Am I lost out at sea
'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway
Just beautiful , hard to put how much I love this into words
I cried while i was watching this!I wasn't born at their best time at 90's,but i did feel some thing incredible!I was speechless,this band is worth giving everything to follow!They are just...
One of the best songs ever written
You have to listen to Procol Harum then :)
I guess you mean A whiter shade of Pale ?
Yeah, like many other classical composers, Bach inspired some pop bands in the 60's. And that's why Procol Harum is said to be a ''baroque pop band'' :) And btw, what you can't understand is not necessarily ''ludicrous''. Please don't be a hater, I like both songs, I love Blur and Procol Harum !
It's very surrealistic that's all ! I can understand that you don't like surrealism, but it isn't stupid :) I don't like hiphop lyrics, they mean less than everything for me.. but I don't say it's stupid..
Such an underrated song
LOVER LINK I agree, criminally overlooked
One of the greatest songs. Ever.
A amazing moment to be in the crowd, a wonderful moment of Blur history, made all the more special by being able to share it with my true love. Thanks babe, will never forget this moment x
Wow, this performance is just out of this world.
I live right by the Westway and this song captures the feeling perfectly at times.
Paradise not lost its in you' gets me each time ❤
This song is perfect... I totally love it
i am so in love with them all i dont even know what to think
ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS A GRAHAM COXON.
If I ever see Blur live I will be crying the entire time.
Possibly the best night of my life, such a buzz and right at the front.
#Blur are very talented musicians .
one of their best songs
Paul Flook
One of their best gigs
im in tears?!? it feels like im there. this is why I love music so much. fucking magical
Blur's greatest song
When the sum of the whole is greater than its parts. Everyone has a part to play. Cheers lads, love this
Seeing Blur at Leeds 1999, was memorable, a sheer pleasure.
One word : Awsome
I dont like to use the term "epic", because when it is overused, lost its power.
But this is, IMO, a truly "epic" moment of the music.
My love and best wishes to Graham, Damon, Dave & Alex.
What a amazing night, loved every minute from start to finish!!!
Proud of them.
I was blessed to have seen Blur in Chicago- my hometown- and other US venues on many occasions and on different tours-- but this is a very special gig- to all who were there-- you have my (kind) envy-
So beautiful
What an outstanding performance!
one of my favorites. trying so hard not to cry everytime i listen to this song and sing along. just so beautiful. amazing is an understatement. i have no word!
one of the best nights of my entire life.
先日の武道館ライブでも、この曲は輝いていました。現状彼らのもっとも新しい曲である“UNDER THE WESTWAY”の素晴らしさが、まだまだ現在進行形のバンドであることを伝えています。求む！ニューアルバム！
magic song ✨
Alex in in tears :')

Flags coming down and the last post sounds just like a love song for the way I feel about you
"...and the sirens sing..."
Gets me every damn time.
As much as I love Oasis, I cant help but cry to this
They are going to Tokyo for the first time in ten years.Thank you very much!
io adoro e sono stregato dalla bellezza di questa canzone ...
So great!!! I can't for the dvd!! Blur i love you
One of the best concerts I've been to :)
For 20 years Blur has written our personal soundtrack(s)-- and then Damon goes ahead and puts it into one song.
Mt lord- what a gift to us all
Brilliant never mind brit pop .what a great time for music loads of talent and a great to be young
I can really hear the subtle inspiration from The Beatles' A Day In The Life. Fantastic song.
Beautiful
Two years today :)
Clare- I'm in the States--- would have given so much to have been there-what a blessing that you were!
Paradise is not lost. It's in you. TEARS

La vida que se nos fue a los que rondamos los 35 años, que buena banda es Blur, aunque se ven ancianos, Damon Albarn parece hooligan. Viva Blur por siempre!!!!!!
