This performance says hello ua-cam.com/video/k96T_l9cTDY/v-deo.html Seriously, Damon sounds otherworldy in that one...I know I'm two years late, but I beg you to check it out!
@@noursarhan8695 I agree, Damon can't really sing Blur songs in their original keys anymore, this version is a few tones lower, and his lung capacity has shrunk so bad it's really affecting his vocal performance. Smoking and singing only last so long, but he's still an incredible producer. He was an awesome pop singer and the stripped down version you're giving us is my favourite too.
@@pignonMZ6 he still has a beautiful voice which suits a different type of songs like those of his recent solo efforts. It's deeper and richer in tone. But imo it's less versatile than it used to be. If he weren't such a heavy smoker and drinker I think it would've been a bit different
@@noursarhan8695 Damon always had a very deep voice, just listen to early interviews in the 90s and it's clear he had an insane range back then. Today he just sings closer to his speaking voice, but it was always rich, now it's just just limited. That doesn't mean he is bad singer now, his voice still sounds great and he's just as talented if not more. It only means that he cannot access older songs from Blur without changing the key to a place he is comfortable with.
@@pignonMZ6 it's always been deep for sure. It's definitely huskier and thicker now though. It feels more "narrative", more "fatherly" (well of course lol) in a way. It's like listening to a wiseman telling some important truths about life after having seen it all. The richness I'm talking about comes from all that experience, substance use being a part of it. But yeah his vocal range and versatility was undoubtedly way more remarkable before. I'm still more partial to his younger voice
funny they wrote britpop in the end when Damon himself said for Blur the britpop was over in their music after the great escape came out but... The song is from MLIR when they still played britpop wait... what?
Has he moved the key dowm? Hes only really struggling where he was struggling in the first iteration. If hes kept his voice that good then what a legend
I love so many things about Damon but one of them is that He is sooo passionate about his music, I love it!!
The blur songs only get better with age they're like a fine wine
Damon Albarn = Genius!!!!
Outstanding. Blur - Still the best band this island has produced in decades.
Can't stop watching this, damon albarn is the bomb.
Love this version! ❤️ Anyone else notice at 3:56 “lovely girl with naughty smile” and not what it normally is- “naughty girl with a lovely smile” 😜
It's called progress, and it's about damn time. I love this song even more now :)
nicely picked up..I'm guessing he wrote about you..so you were looking out for it hehe!
I miss blur s much im crying :'(
+Tanya Sparrow 2014 Best Damon Year Ever 2015 Best Blur Year Ever ! I guess you're crying of joyness now ;)
Louis Blanchard you have no idea :')
🙂
They’re back again…
What a nice, mellow performance on this modern classic. Damon is pure genius.
Saw blur in 1994 & at Reading Fest 2003. Both times were amazing. One of my All time favourites.
.. And yes I bought Country House!!!
Damon is the greatest living English poet
Quite possibly the best performance I've heard of this song

Damon always gathers such orchestras around him and it's great!!!!!!
Деймон всегда собирает вокруг себя такие оркестры и это здорово!!!!!!

I've listened to Damon all my life, mainly through blur and this cover sounded lush.

Not at all

This is Gorillaz, Blur and Heavy Seas in one video
2018???
When was this recorded?
Biblical
Demo Albarn deh ? Kawe mmey minat demo
93? Can’t be surly?
Why is Alex Turner dressed as SuperHans and playing guitar for Damon?
wow - every studio musicians cliche ever in one clip
1993, seriously? Maybe all the same 2003 or 2013?
1993 год, серьёзно? Может всё таки 2003 или 2013?
Who plays a Bass VI fingerstyle, seriously...
*uses a guitar as a bass*
Doesn't phrase like Graham. Weird.
Damon is good, but liam better
Waduh. Damon nyiptain lagu,composer dan lain lain. Liam cuma nyanyi :) saya juga fans oasis. Hehehe
