My mother got me and my nan into blur many years ago. Now I'm getting my daughter into them. 4 generations of blur fans!

Wow 😊
Blur!Blur!Blur!Blur!👌😁👍
Thanks for saving 2023 and probably my life
Yeah...best summer with this music! 😍❤
This is a great song, a potential single. Should be part of the album’s core, not a bonus track.
Ikr, I got the deluxe edition just for this gem!
That's just how bands work that have creative power. I love this track more than others too but to be fair, Darren is one of these albums that remind me of the past: I mean a time when it was normal that albums had only great songs on it. Blur seems to be a rare exceptional band that are able to keep doing that. Magic Whip is another example. I thought exactly the same while listening: "but...what?... EVEREY song is freakin great!" I guess, usually bands struggle to get a handful of great songs together. But fantastic bands like Blur throw out a session of maybe 20 songs and then may decide democratically which goes on the album. If more than 10 songs are great they have to compromise and quite often they make the wrong decision.
Agreed
Why this one was not on the album I will never know
@@thomasandersen6719 because it doesn't fit with the rest.
Why are these not on the album? Outstanding just keep getting better and better
Definitely my second favourite British Band from the 90s(3rd favourite British Band of all time) after Radiohead. Both of them are just head and shoulders above their peers.
Weren't Radiohead from the 90's?
Why is this only on the Deluxe album ? This is THE vibe from Blur which makes you happy
is a blur tradition to hide gems
I simply love the intro! Classic Blur song! 💣🔥🙌
Thanks guys for a good time with good music
On the last message you sent to me
You seem confused to get an offering
At the events that brought us to this juncture
'Cause where's the joy in this self-delusion?
We're all practitioners of vague illusions
Hieroglyphics and pictures
Careering round blind bends at high speed
The loneliness of the long-distance driver
I was lost (I was lost)
Lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Now who's gonna be tomorrow's heroes?
While the system grinds
To an unseemly halt
Apologize to the streets and the rivers
The port is out in the 1980s
There's no going back now
The message degraded
And the storms evaded
Careering round blind bends at high speed
The loneliness of the broken-hearted
I was lost (I was lost)
Lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Lost (I was lost)
(I was lost)
I was lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
Lost (I was lost)
(I was lost)
I was lost (I was lost)
Then you saved me
What is your interpretation of those words...
@@daisychain9713 "The Rabbi" by Blur seems to be a song marked by confusion, disillusionment, and the search for salvation. The lyrics portray a sense of disorientation and a longing for something or someone to bring clarity and purpose.
In the first verse, the narrator receives a confusing message, possibly representing a lack of guidance or direction in their life. The reference to "vague illusions" and "hieroglyphics and pictures" implies that the world around them is full of unclear messages and symbols, making it difficult to decipher meaning.
The pre-chorus talks about the experience of driving blindly and feeling lonely, which could symbolize the feeling of being lost in life with no clear path ahead. The reference to the "loneliness of the long-distance driver" and the "broken-hearted" suggests a deeper emotional distress and longing for connection.
The chorus expresses a sense of being lost and then being saved, emphasizing the search for salvation or redemption. The repeated line "I was lost, then you saved me" implies that the narrator has found someone or something that has brought them back from their state of confusion and aimlessness.
In the second verse, the lyrics touch on the idea of the system grinding to a halt and the need to apologize to the streets and the rivers. This could be interpreted as a critique of societal structures and the degradation of certain values or principles. The 1980s reference and the mention of the port suggests a specific time and place where the decay of the system is apparent.
Overall, "The Rabbi" conveys a theme of searching for guidance and hope amidst confusion and disillusionment. It speaks to the longing for someone or something to bring clarity, purpose, and salvation in a world full of vague illusions and broken systems.
@@vincenzostr4488 that sounds like an A.I interpretation
If I were the producer I would have insisted this be on the proper lp. I would've put in between the opener and St Charles Square.
This would have been a great single
AMAZING SONG
Can we get a B-Sides collection on vinyl, please? In addition to the Japanese fanclub releases, of course.
Nah you have to buy all the special editions
That would be awesome
that would be like 5 or 6 vynils haha

bit of a wire feel to this one, effortlessly brilliant
my mother gave birth to me at a blur concert now i'm getting the hospital staff into the band i saw them last week live i am quite young still love this one it's more blur than ever!
Wait what which concert? Were you actually born at one?
Which venue?
@@richowez spectrum
What a lovely song! Thank you
Thanks for saving me and probably my whole life.
The has a lot of The Travelling Willburys about it!
Some Lou Reed too
Lou Reed
@@daisychain9713 sure albarn was listening to wire and elo a lot
Es un elissir ✨
great sound! i love this one
Should have been on the new album.
100% better than everything on there and equal to The Narcissist and St Georges Square.
Whyyyy is not the álbum? This is 100% Blurs soul
@T3L3MUS1K you mean st Charles square
@@mikeadams7904 Yeah Brain fart when typing.
it's on the deluxe edition
Great song!
love it ❤️
Un'altra meraviglia lasciata fuori dalla versione principale. Era perfetta per l'album.
Such a good song wow
I also think this should be part of standard album and not a bonus track. I believe it brings more joy to the album atmosphere and that could even be a single. I somehow feel Electric Light Orchestra vibes on it (and that's a compliment).
was listening to elo other day and thought the same thing! also wire a big influence i think.
Love this track and like many think it should be on the standard album. It's been bugging me for a while ... why does it sounds so familiar? I was thinking The Stranglers, Talking Heads, 80's, etc and then yesterday it hit me ...
This song is SO David Brent! 😂😂😂 I can hear Gareth and Tim on backing vocals while David (Damon!) does his thing with the guitar 😅
Sounds like Lou Reed....
❤❤ Heartfelt
Yes, I like this.
YOOOO FIRE
I like this
Crackin little tune❤
הרבי?? וואו❤
❤❤❤❤
❤❤
Sounds like Death or Glory by The Clash. I love it!
or a bit like Glory days by Pulp
🎧▶🎶☮
THIS SONG IS SO GOODFHIXIGX ❤❤
ya Rabbi
Love it, reminds me of Kevin Ayers
luckily i bought the deluxe edition
Ooh i like this one 🧐🧐🧐
I think it should have been a 12 track album.
Por qué siempre las mejores no forman parte del álbum? :")
I'm confused, this is not on the album is it?
This is in the deluxe
Mmmm, i can almost here dylan's voice. Hahha, so funny Damon, LOVE u man. Furthermore, somo parts at the beginning of the song remember me,.at some point, to blonde on blonde album's
🫂🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🕺 🎵 💃
WHAT
The start reminds me of So far away from Dire Straits
Please in Spanish traducción
Bach to basics ....blur
I would die for nutella
is this a meme? seen someone else post this under another blur/gorillaz track a short while back
In the origin nutella was a type of chocolate
I would die for peanut butter
@@strategichamsters I live off peanut butter 🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜🥜
@@strategichamsters lets goooooo!!!
A bit "So far away" from Dire Straits, but that's okay 👍
🇮🇱❤️
אשכרה הוציאו שיר בשם הרבי, אני בהלם😂
Those who say it should of been on the album
I don’t.
It actually sounds like a b side.
A typical blur b side.
It strangely sounds like with or without you. But great though
🇮🇱💙
Pls heart I love yous
Not terrific ..
Esta canción debería formar parte del disco. Es de las mejores, si no la mejor.
Proper drumming at last. Otherwise similar sound to the rest of the album. Simplistic. Boring. Trying and failing to be catchy.
You're a hardworking hater of Blur. Congratulations for your commitment 👏🏻😂
@@robsdianten1 Blur are one of my favourite bands. I dont like this album and chose to write something about every song so that years from now i can see why i hated it and never listened to it more than twice. I'm not wasting my time listening to an album I hate when I can listen to something else. Music is subjective and some people like this type of sad music. Good for them. I dont.
@@sir_lanian but Damon said he´s sad. He´s sad. He can´t make happy album for you. Face it. And if Blur are one of your favorite bands and you can´t be arsed to listen to the album more than twice but you still have lot of time to write comments about how you can´t be bothered to listen to the album more than twice, there´s something wicked in this logic.
@@vitmlejnek6081 If you say so. Then I must be a very wicked person indeed. Yes Damon said he's sad. I saw that interview. I don't have to share his sadness.
@@sir_lanian sure you don´t have to - you don´t have to like. still I don´t understand all this effort to air it
