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.

"Just dance for 5 minutes and we'll pay you "
ha lol that probly what happend
Lol 😂
It was even better. We shoot your dance for free and in exchange you let us use it for the music video.
Free Stock Footage yeah that could happen to
*4 minutes, but I get what you mean. What has come to Blur video's these days XD
The whole group of my class danced to this song in an opening party of graduation exhibition.... proudest thing in my life so far
What exhibition was it?
Lindo!
@@acac7399BR?
Am I the only one who absolutely adores this video??? It was almost hypnotizing... it was just calming, and peaceful, and I couldn't take my eyes off the dancing... it's just so _refreshing_ compared to normal music videos...
I mean, music videos rarely even make sense anyway; they just have a lot of random shit going on to entertain you. This doesn't make much sense either, but I like how it's cute and simple and oddly mesmerizing instead of just busy, dramatic, and over-stimulating like most videos...
flayuhat the whole vibe of it reminded me of a ghibli movie because, like you said, it's hypnotizing in it's simplicity and sweet in it's innocence. In my opinion this is a lovely music video
Yup, hypnotizing. I always re-visit this song when I feel sad :-)
Yeah, this is a more memorable music video compared to all the other "high octane" music videos nowadays. I'd be surprised if I forgot this one in my memory.
no you are not!
I love it too!!!! Simple is beautiful.
People really need to be more accepting of change. The reason why the new videos are so different is because 1. The members are really busy with other projects
2. The album was literally just finished this year.
3. It is likely because of the setting of the album (Hong Kong, China)
4. It's art! They are allowed to do videos how they want.
If anything, the band doesn't really have that much to do with the videos. It's someone else saying "We think this would be really cool" and they agree. I don't think they all convey the same meaning as the song, but it's a change and the videos are still good. Let's just enjoy these videos how they are, as well as the fact that this is probably Blur's best album so far besides maybe 13! And Blur is back together! We should all be excited, not whining about videos...
Preach
Bubbajjsammer5 i don't care i like beetlebum or song 2 better, like any of us, even those who don't say it aloud not to seem too obvious. this is not even half as good and all knows it
alisa KO this is not even about the video, the vidoe doesn't matter at all if song rocks
I am from Hong Kong and I can't relate the video to my hometown at all. In Hong Kong we use traditional Chinese characters, while this one uses simplified Chinese characters. Not to mention that the dancing group are from San Francisco and they are dancing like how those aunties from mainland China do. Period.
I love Blur though. :P
The members of Blur have always said they are constantly changing, which they are. They're a very different band now but that's not bad. They're still a fantastic band.
The Magic Whip cd is another gem in the blur catalog. Lonesome Street is one of their strongest songs in years.The video is very entertaining and sweet.
other bands: "let's get a music video with the budget of a movie with elaborate sets and shots and expensive cars and CGI and famous names doing cameos and-"
blur: "just get a guy to piss about in front of a camera, we'll pay him later"
What works for Radiohead works for Blur :''D (except for the paying part because obviously Thom Yorke got paid lol)
Same energy as "Lonely Boy" by the Black Keys
Cornerstone Arctic monkeys, fookin masterpiece
I think this actually shows how much Blur has matured as a band. They're focused on what really matters which is normal people appreciating and being with each other.
Little old school Floyd, little Bowie, a lot of Blur.... YES PLEASE!
yeah!
My three choices in music: Bowie, Blur and Pink Floyd.
Will Carlier Great taste, me amigo. Great taste, indeed.
SeattleSundown You too ! :) ;)
Why can't it just be Blur?
Sometimes I feel Chinese people just don't get enough credit for how good they are at being absolutely deadpan.
+merdufer Chinese have less sense of irony as British people so no problem being deadpan.
What is deadpan?
An. S. It's a pan you fry dead things in.
Oh... Ok...
+An. S. emotionless/no visual expression
This is my favorite music video of all time. Blur never stop making new music!
I've got some bad news for you...
@@NinaNova_ think again
I had to scroll the video up and just listen to the music. Terrible video .. song's allright though.
It's like me dancing alone in my bedroom
Fuck the haters. I love this video.
5ch3nk Me too
5ch3nk With ya on that bro
Same. It really is a pretty video to look at, especially since it is an ordinary view into a culture.
+5ch3nk I found it mesmerizing
you have to be at least 21 yo to understand the relation between videos and music... i cant imagine a better video for this song...
Had to remind myself after Liam Gallagher said this & Beetlebum were Blur’s best songs
Actually it was Noel who wishes he'd written "Beetlebum"
Liam wasn't wrong
@@suvrat.sharma both have said it "Liam Gallagher · @liamgallagher. They haven't got 1 they have 2 tunes beetlebum and lonesome street."
I don't get what everyone's complaining about this is great, you go dancing dude follow your dreams
I was going through my drawers and I came acoss a paper full of doodles, and in the corner of it, it said 'Lonesome Street'. I knew I had to write it down for a reason, so I youtubed it and here I am. I remember this song because I came on in my spotify playlist and I liked it. Wow, months without hearing it.
Nice song! The BLUR once again proves to be a great band: freshness, elegance, inspiration.
Grahams voice in this song reminds me of Syd Barretts.
His guitar work too.
“When I was listening back to it with Stephen, I thought, ‘Why not go the whole hog and have a really Syd Barrett-y middle-eight in there?’” recalls Coxon. “So I wrote another section for it, which is about the way you seem to ride the tarmac in Hong Kong: you stand on the road, you don’t move, and it’ll take you anywhere you want to go. It’s a very lighthearted way to start the record.”
I got some Syd Barrett vibes too.
Esta canción me suena y me recuerda mucho al Blur de los 90.
¿A alguien mas le pasó?
si, amo el nuevo blur maduro de este album, pero esta rola nos regalò nostalgia
Si.
This song makes me really happy for some reason. It always calms me when I'm feeling anxious.
The beauty of human expression. Take your time to not judge and just enjoy it.
OKAY IM IN A REALLY WEIRD MOOD BUT THE GUITAR IN THIS SONG MAKES ME FEEL FUNNY AND DAMONS VOICE IS JUST SO PRETTY AAAAAA
I love the fact that this of all things is the official video. I think it's charming
Honestly, this deserves more views.
If only Damon was the one dancing.
Arielle Valmonte your so right
Then it wouldn't be funny.
Damion can't dance shit
@@misstembo2000 that's the point, dumbass.
watch sleeping powder, he does the motion capture for 2D
What do you got?
Mass produced in somewhere hot
You'll have to go on the Underground
To get things done here
(And then you have to see)
If you need a yellow duck, service done
This is a place to come to,
Or, well, it was
I know a hot spot oh oh
Crossing on the guillotine
And if you have nobody left to rely on
I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift
It's got to be that time again
And June, June will be over soon again
So get yourself up, get a past glitch on your way
There's nothing to be ashamed of
Taking off again
The five fourteen to East Grinstead
(You've sent me off to see) (we're going up, up, up, up, up)
Coursing on our greatest night
And talking types will let us down, again
Talk, talk on your arse all night
You wanna be there
Step inside the tarmac ride
To the land that crime forgot
Oh, just don't go there
Cracks inside the tarmac ride
To the land that crime forgot, oh no
And if you have nobody left to rely on
I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift
Going down to Lonesome Street, ooh
Going down to Lonesome Street, ooh
Lonesome Street, ooh
Going down to Lonesome Street, ooh
Lonesome Street, ooh
Going down to Lonesome Street, ooh
I love how this song contains new elements, but is still the same amazing sound of Blur. Also it also shows how each member has developed their own style. You can easily recognise Graham's style in this song. Great great Song.
A bit of everything on this album ... brilliant
cuando escuche esta canción me sentí atrapada en los 90's, Blur no pierde la esencia de lo suyo. me encanta esta canción
这么一本正经的乱来我真的看上瘾了。
侬好！
正式进军土摇界

"Song of the Year"
_Liam Gallagher(2015)
Really?
@@martingutierrezdominguez5830 yep
I never said that.
_Liam Gallogher
@@Mr.OK5haha yea thats exactly what he would say
The longer this video goes on the more attractive this man gets
前奏：
音乐起，第一个八拍空过去
第二个八拍起左脚，倒右脚，然后曲腿；手像老母鸡。
第三个八拍像左转，动作重复第二个八拍；头看正面。
What do you got?
右脚撤到左脚后面虚点，重心在左脚；左手高，右手托掌略高于肩部。
重心还在左脚，出右脚，脚跟点地；左手搭在右手肘上，左手肘略高。
Mass produced in somewhere hot
先抬右脚，六步；手臂动作不变，身体按照常理摆动。
右脚先动，转向正面；手同时像右摆动，像藏族人甩袖子。左右各一次。
You'll have to go on the Underground
To get things done here
(And then you have to see)
起右脚像右转圈，四步，托手。最后一步左脚向前，手在胸前画一个圈，举高，划下来。
唱到“here”的时候，起左脚同时出左手向左摆动，换边做一次；托手左转圈，四步。
If you need a yellow duck - service done
（转完圈之后）右手留在头顶上，出左手左脚，换右手右脚，再换左手左脚。
This is a place to come to, or, well, it was
I know a hot spot
右脚起范儿，第一步
踩右脚，右手从下划上去，四步，完成这个转圈。
第四步亮相，重心在右脚，左脚微曲脚尖点地，右手高，左手低。
出左脚在前，和右脚互相倒重心，三次，手压腕，右左右摆动。
第四个重心倒到右脚，撤左脚；手在头顶从右向左画圈
Crossing on the guillotine
反方向做一遍
And if you have nobody left to rely on
重心移向右脚，虚点左脚；背右手，出左手。
脚换一次重心，出右手。
脚换两次重心，双手同时像鸟扇翅膀一样动。
向右转，四步，最后两脚略比肩宽（视频上这里没有照脚）；转圈的同时手自下而上穿出，转到正面时手臂与肩平齐。
I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift
脚右左右换重心，左手前右手前左手前。
收右脚，手像伸懒腰一样从头顶划下，落至腿两侧
It's got to be that time again
（双脚并齐不动）先出右手，再出左手，双手与肩同高；屈膝，托掌将手从胸口掏出
And June, June will be over soon again
撤右脚，抬高右手，换手换脚；再做一次，共四次。
收右脚与左脚并齐，双手从头顶划下，翻手腕，数次。
So get yourself up, get past on your way
出左脚，左手抬高，右手曲折，手在胸口；换反方向再做一遍。
转圈，脚不动，转到背面顺带右脚就过去了。手在转圈的同时从胸口双手合十向上，当转到正面的时候手落下。
There's nothing to be ashamed of
Taking off again
出左脚，大约两肩宽；右手绕头划一圈，换左手，再换右手，划完圈扶后脑勺，左手叉腰，右手扶头的同时向左小跳一步；放下右手双手叉腰，向右小跳一步，撤左脚在右脚后面。
重复一遍上述动作。
The 514 to East Grinstead
(You've sent me off to see)
We're going up, up, up, up, up
Coursing on our greatest night
出左脚，右手在头周围划两圈，左手背腰。
向右转90°，右脚抬起；左手和右手指尖重合，推出。撤右脚，小抬左脚，两个小垫步向前；收回双手，然后推出，随着脚步，两次。
（这个动作大叔做的太有年轻人的味道了好潮！）转回正面，上右脚，重心在左脚，向左垫步，应该是四个，大叔最后一个做的比较弱。左手右手见视频，我描述不好。
抬左脚，向前蹬两下，点一下向后撤一小步；手上动作见视频。
反方向重复“up, up, up, up, up”这句的动作
And talking types will let us down, again
Talk, talk on your arse all night
You wanna be there
上左脚，转圈，四步，最后落右脚；手部动作见视频。
脚上十字步，手上是类似云手的动作（左手低，右手高，绕头部画圈，两次）。
身体向左，脸面向正面，左手上心向上，右手掌心后推。
Step inside the tarmac ride
To the land that crime forgot
Oh, just don't go there
双手向正面推出，虎口相向，掌心向外推出。
上左脚向后转，五步，最后落左脚；手从头上划一圈。
屈膝律动，抬右手，提腕儿。
手在头顶飘两下，飘回右边时，右脚先向右走四步；云手上左手，在胸前云一下，抬右手。
身体面向右，右手抬起托掌，左手向下推掌。
Cracks inside the tarmac ride
To the land that crime forgot, oh no
双手向正面推出，虎口相向，掌心向外推出。上右脚向左转圈，六步，最后落在左脚。
出右手抬左脚后跟，交替做八个。
出左脚，向前顶左胯，出左手；撤左脚，向后顶左胯；撤左脚去正面。
And if you have nobody left to rely on
右脚出去滑一大步，左脚顺着收回，两次；右手高左手低，胸前划两次。
转身向右，伸手迎舞伴。
I'll hold you in my arms and let you drift
Going down to Lonesome Street
Going down to Lonesome Street
Lonesome Street
Going down to Lonesome Street
Lonesome Street
Going down to Lonesome Street
Lonesome Street
Wenwen Jia 收下我的膝蓋
woc太有才了哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
有点儿厉害哈哈哈哈哈哈
妈耶，为五十年后轮到我们自己跳广场舞的时候保存了史料，您真的是功德无量。这舞功秘籍太上头了。
人才啊
How come this only got to 151 in the UK charts?! Something's not right. This should have been Top 10. Get rid of Simon Cowell and the reality music pap and bring back more bands like this into the charts again!!
The charts are brainwashed by today's popular music, punk has and always will be better than that pop rapping hip hop shit
+Charlie Montgomery true! there's just more backstory and meaning in the music AND the lyrics rather than a monotone, steady rythym and having a clever rhyme....
+Charlie Montgomery But Damon did Gorillaz...
4 years on i believe we need these more than ever
someone has been saving money to make new music videos for gorillaz :D
loyalmary27 Honestly Jamie loves drawing Gorillaz so much that he'd probably make a music video by himself for free
Welp only one happened from Jamie 🙃
Brilliant video and song. Gotta love the early Pink Floyd influence between 2:23-2:33
The new album that this song is from was recorded in Hong Kong and that obviously influenced their, in my opinion, wonderful film clip for this fantastic song. I adore the dancing and the nod to Chinese culture. Bravo.
Welcome back Blur, you have been missed, What a track!! Damon and Graham knocking out of the park
a marriage between The Great Escape and Think Tank
I love this song!!
This is the best ever "Haters Gonna Hate"
+lostsoul242 Good way to put it. Never thought people would give such hate to a video.
This reminds me of early Blur I absolutly fkin love it
Black Keys - Lonely Boy. All I'm gonna say, However this song is a fucking tune!
the only thing that's remotely close to that song is the guitar's sound, which is a common distorted guitar sound.
+Bassboy98 I'm talking about the video, if I wanted to compare the similarities of the song and the production value I wouldn't watch a music video.
MrCakeWelsh
Oh, I'm sorry. I thought you meant that they ripped it off.
+Bassboy98 No, just the music video is similar
I think they need a dance off.
Was already in love with the song but this... i am... mesmerized...
Thank you three-fold! North America Loves Blur!
Blur's new stuff is just as good as the lovely classics.
Sick dance moves, bruh.
I should be doing my homework that is due tomorrow, but instead I'm here, watching this fella do his weird dance rutine
love this song
Lonely Boy ???
i thought the same thing also :)
lordnagatron That was my first thought from the first second :) So funny!
Vincenzo Greco what is it?
you just read my mind :O
Vincenzo Greco my instagram just exploded with followers from *instaPHAMOUS. COM*
This is probably one of my favorite music videos
love this song.
grahams telecaster crunch, & alex's killer bass lines.
not to mention wicked singing & lyrics...... love it when a band thats been around for ages, are still hungry, and at the top of their game. one of their best songs, which is saying something for a band with so many classics.
thank you Blur and Mr Stephen Street .....another masterpiece
I´m brasilian and these guys make life worth living, the british rock rhythm is chillingly good
When this song came out it helped me through alot , the lyrics.. i can just relate to every bit of it. However when they played it, i fell into tears , more tears than i ever experienced listening to the song alone , i stood there and wondered how many more feel isolated as me
I'll hold in my arms and let you drift. :))
My favourite song of the album! I love it!! I can't wait to see you guys in Mexico!!
THE DAB AT THE END
hahahahahaha
JAJAJAJAJA
哈哈哈哈哈
Keira Jade no
i love everything about this
I like the simplicity and low-budget feel of the video, it allows me to focus more on the lyrics and music production. That doesn't mean it's a good music video, but it gets the job done.
Liam G said this was the song of the year in Britain. What the hell is he smoking???
CAVO ROCKS I think (hope) he was being sarcastic
CAVO ROCKS taking the piss obviously ;) leopard don't change its spots
Michael Ciancetta ahhhh.
CAVO ROCKS why it's awesome
13dirty666 i dunno. not my cup of tea. maybe he was taking the piss
This reminds me me of the syd barrett sound in parts. Always been a huge fan of blur.
This so funny! Greetings from Perú! you're amazing Blur and you know it!
Cool video, cool music, The.best band: Blur, I cannot wait for the entire album. I love it
I AM SO HAPPY THEY KEPT THE SAME SOUND, the absolute best thing, i feel like the universe is spoiling us.
all Blur's songs are excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!
Art it's not about excess, it's about found the core of things. Blur doesn't have to prove that is one of the greatest bands of the latest decades with magnificent videos. We still have their music and that's without question, a marvelous gift in these butt-blinkin' times.
I'll buy it only if four of them dance like that.
I still love this song....so comforting ..especially if you've ever lived in San Fran China Town and grew up listening to Blur....
For a month a lived in Casa Melissa at North Beach in San Fran in front of Union Square park ...and how surreal to wake up and see from your window some of these dancers you see in this video in the morning practicing ..and keep to yourself... Can't quite say "Hi i recognize you from the Blur video". So smiled upon seeing some of them and walked on to my own lonesome street.
One of my favourite music videos! Absolutely brilliant
square dancing invasion
Simple, but effective.
It's great to hear new Blur songs :)
accurate depiction of me dancing to blur
This song made my life better. It is pure brilliance!!!
Quiero ver a los Blur bailando está coreografía 😊
This gives me Wes Anderson vibes
Music with many flavours and a feel good vibe
Its Chinese culture, which the album has elements of. How can you say the videos cheap? when really its expressing a part of China using a certain Chinese dance.
It is exactly how chinese elders will do in the street, they dance simultaneously on the music played by a portable stereo...
Beautiful
Blur still rocks!
Still better than most music videos nowadays
Hello There What about Gorillaz music videos?
The last Gorillaz music video I know was do ya thing and that was 3 years ago
Never mind just found Hallelujah Money
First blur song I ever heard
What a time to be alive
(3 years ago)
Hell yeah! Been a very long time since Blur have sounded this lively.
So this is how Damon has grown up.
The video is brilliant. It's fun and imaginative and creative. I just love it! I can't help but smile every time I see it.
The Magic Whip is the second best blur's album imo
something about this video and tune is just so damn special
Very Syd Barrett, again...
And it's sound very nice, again...
if you listen to "Lazy Days" by Robbie Williams and you'll hear a similar verse
Los videos son cosas secundarias, desde que hagan buena música!! y para mi esta es una de las mejores que han lanzado de The magic whip
I wanna learn this dance and dance right in the tiny plazas of Hong Kong!
ผมตามหาmvนี้มานาน ชอบท่าเต็นมันโดนมาก From Thailand
yo wtf this is some blur thing right here, i fucking love it so much, all of you nutter that don't hear this masterpiece can piss off, idc, this is so fucking good, a gold. this should be on the brits
Sweet.& Great Video.. & the Lyrics: Poetry!!"!!
Genius music video!
I spent the whole day reproducing this dance hahahaha. Amazing, lovely video and lovely song. :)
how did they get this footage of me playing just dance??
I could imagine Alex James doing an lovely interpretation of this dance
Don´t you think that´d be a bit ...cheesy?
First they teach you how to make an ice cream in "go out" mv, now they want you to learn some weird dance moves...anyway i love this song
Is that a bottle of kombucha? Never a dull moment with that stuff around.
+μncle βingo I noticed that bottle too xD
He is still dancing better than me :D
Looks like Lonely Boy of The Black Keys
Uhuhuhhh!!! This song makes me happy!!! Thanks Blur!
Love the video. That's why they made it in the 90s, because they weren't afraid to be different. When everybody was into grunge they said, "no, we're different. We're british, not american". Now they say, we're back and we love Hong Kong and China.Cool.
