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.

End of a Century Pt.2
This song is basically the American version of End of a century and it's great.
"And the whole world could've passed through me, but I don't know that it means much to me" -- The first time I ever listened to this song 23 years ago that lyric struck me so hard I literally had to pull my car over. Something in me related to it so much and still does to this day.
I don't really understand it.
@@k-leb4671 From my understanding, it means the world doesn't really affect them, and they don't really care about it
"Sitting out on the distance but I'm not trying to make her mine"
This on the album that actually did make her theirs!
This album was more popular in the USA than any previous Blur albums, but they still didn't become popular there.
Sounds like it could be found on the Parklife album.
good observation
Not really. Parklife was Blur in their Prime. This song fits well with this album. The song feels like the band are departing and heading a new direction, which is what happened with Damon Albarn a few years after this album came out
Some parts are like Country House haha
I love Damon's shift in writing for this record.
I started as a Gorillaz fan when I was a kid, but as I got older I realized that I was really just an Albarn fan in general. Blur is criminally underrated
@@matthewayre5354 That too, but I mean the lyrics.
@@Official_KC Underrated? They're widely regarded as one of the best bands of the 1990s.
its mostly grahams
@@La_domniz Not the lyrics, Damon wrote all of them except track 7.
But yeah, I love Graham's sonic shift in this album too.
anybody remember "in-stores"? you'll have to be old enough to remember record stores... and when a big band was in town for a show, local radio would give them a couple hours. the 90's may be a Blur to most of us dinosaurs but what a fun time for some of the best rock ever!
in-store = record store?
Lyrics:
Good morning lethargy
Drink pepsi is good for energy
The bath's on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat and on my neck a nasty bruise
Where it came from, well I don't know
We played last night, it was a good show
Got the play out, second rate chatshow
It's a nation wide deal, so you gotta go
Chuck from the company says it will be alright
Got an ad on KROQ
And there's an in-store tonight
Well I build things up
Then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio
Look inside America, she's alright, she's alright
Sitting out the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
Looking for America
With its kooky nights and suicide
Where the TV says it's alright
Coz' everybody's hung up on something or other
Steppin' off in 20, so the driver says
I should sleep tonight
But I think I'll watch videos instead
Annie Hall leaves NY in the end
Press rewind and Woody gets her back again
And the whole world could pass through me
But I don't know if it means much to me
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
Looking for America
With its kooky nights and suicide
Where the TV says it's alright
Coz everybody's strung out on something or other
And the whole world
Could pass through me
But I don't know if it means much to me
I had this album and love the songs but I could never tell what Damon was saying. Dink Pepsi, it's good for en-er-gy - well, now I know. 🙂
Ironically, this was Blur's biggest album in America by far. People really love that Song 2...
I'm amazed that Song 2 has 167 million views and this only has 167 thousand. I thought this would have been their 'song_to_crack_America'. I know that 'You're So Great' was very popular over there but it only has 390 thousand views here as well.
Very David Bowie this one.
also very Sgt. Peppers!
Very Blur also ^^
Very Oasis
The most britpoppy song on the album. It's like they wanted to reach out to the fans who came to love them during their previous three, on an album that began experimenting with different genres.
The most Britpoppy song about America.
They just haven't forgotten who they are or where they came from, that shit should always stick with a person, keeps you centred and normal in the midst of all this covid madness
Movin' On sounds a little Britpoppy as well
THAT OUTRO IS FIRE!!!
Good morning, lethargy
Drink Pepsi - it's good for energy
The bath's on, smoke in the bedroom
Sore throat, and on my neck a nasty bruise
And where it came from
Well I don't know
But we played last night - it was a good show
Got to play a second rate chat show
A nationwide deal, so we gotta go
Jeff from the Company says it'll be alright
Got an ad on KROQ
And there's an in-store tonight
Well I build things up
Then I let them go
Got to get time share on the radio
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out in the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
Looking for America
With it's kookie nights
And suicides
TV says it's alright
Cos everybody's hung up
On something or other
Stepping off in twenty
So the driver says
I should sleep tonight
But I think I'll watch videos instead
Annie Hall leaves New York in the end
Press rewind and Woody gets her back again
And the whole world could have passed through me
But I don't know that it means much to me
Look inside America
She's alright, she's alright
Sitting out in the distance
But I'm not trying to make her mine
I'm looking for America
With it's kookie nights
And suicides
TV says it's alright
Cos everybody's strung out
On something or other
And the whole world could have passed through me
But I don't know that it means much to me
Drop down lyrics 👏✌👍 Thank You !
Funny when Graham realises he may have nicked the riff from 'freebird'. It is somewhere available with an interview with Stephen Street.
Do you have the link?
End of a century be like
2nd best track on the album
+Cali shake after you're so gr8
Exactly my thoughts
Woohoo
@@davekent6023 the best 💖
Great song for a Sunday morning.
Some of the greatest Blur lyrics on this song. The biting wit, just sadder this time. Blur weren't a massive success in the US before this album, I think this song is more them imagining what a stereotypical America is like - the advertising, movies and talk shows. Makes for great listening.
The best and most profound song of all times
Wonderful stuff. This really should've had a better placing in the tracklisting of Blur, it gets overlooked - apart from by anyone here, of course. One of the best tracks on the LP abandoned midway through what used to be called Side 2. They really need to dust this one off whenever they play live again (it'll happen).
This is my favorite son of This album 💖
She said there's ants in the carpet...
dirty little monsters...

Annie Hall leaves New York in the end but if I press rewind Woody gets her back again
The best Blur Album.
love this song
good morning
Epic
Awesome cool track to wake up to Daomons 👍 😃 great
Great fucking song.
This and Death of a Party should have been the other two singles from the album (rather than M.O.R & On Your Own).
Imo best song on the album
I'm not doing this twice 😂
more!
and the whole world coulda passed through me
but i dont know that it means much to me
Age of wind coe video has rosen
💞🌼🌺
i feel like if i put this song as my alarm clock tune i will hate this album and blur
I think you can over use the zero function because the softy cartel think you are playing tracker jax
This is the one song on the album that I always skip. It sounds like it's trying to regain that Britpop vibe, also in the lyrics, which they thankfully began to move away from with this album.
Lol. Ok?
What’s wrong with lyrics? This really just follows the themes of depression and self destruction present on the rest of the album which he’d cover once again on 13. And this is much more than just britpop, same goes with their earlier works. Give it another listen, and don’t just dumb it down.
I’m pretty sure this song is about a tour of America that they were forced to go on by their label though, after Modern Life is Rubbish was released. I think it went pretty badly and the band always fought each other, so maybe it sounds more britpop because Damon is reflecting on that time (which was during their britpop period). I’m not entirely sure if that’s correct but that makes the most sense to me
There’s plenty that I skip. I’m just a killer for your love I don’t think I’ve ever finished.
