Blur Lyrics

    ------ About the song Tender performed by Blur

I see this song as not just about love or the breaking up of relationships, but the courage required in love itself. Having the courage to allow it to be reciprocated or not is the real question. When you love yourself and who you are, the courage to allow someone to love you becomes easier

    ------ About the song She's So High performed by Blur

In 1990, a small band from Britain, newly renamed Blur after a brief tenure as Seymour, released their debut single, one they had high hopes for, with a mixture of neo-psychedelia haziness and more coventional pop melodies. And, in fact, it ended up being rather successful, reaching #48 on the UK Charts.

Though Blur would later drive away from the ponderous shoegazing style they explored here, this is still a hugely promising and enjoyable debut.

The song, with Damon Albarn's echo-drenched vocals and Graham Coxon's ringing, dreamy guitars, is obviously very influenced by their British colleagues at the time (ie. The Stone Roses, Slowdive, The Verve), but there's a big factor to this song that clearly separates it from the competition.

Unlike some bands who tried too hard to be dry and cynical, or others who tried too hard to be achingly emotional, Blur finds that perfect in-between: it does have a tongue-in-cheek sense to it, yes, but it also has an earnest feeling to it, giving it a certain resonating warmth that many other shoegazing bands never accomplished.

That aside, everything's already down to perfection here - the harmonies are pristine and Beatlesque, the guitars swirling like a vortex, with a moderate backbeat that keeps the show rolling.

For a lesser band, this would probably be the height of their career - for Blur, it was only just the beginning.

    ------ About the song Beetlebum performed by Blur

I personally believe this song can tie into a numerous amount of addictions. Some people can relate this to cutting or drinking. It's mainly about heroin but you can relate this to so much.

    ------ About the song Beetlebum performed by Blur

IMHO this is a brilliant performance, despite subject matter. The vast majority of people survive heroin use and DO move on... Some as we all know, both the great and 'small?', aren't so fortunate... None-the-less it makes me feel great right now to hear & enjoy a fine song like 'Beetlebum' or 'Ashes to Ashes', _especially_ when it recalls that unique, intimate blend of sublimely enjoyable and often frightening feelings that were -Reality- as a youngster growing up, and moving on past, heroin...

    ------ About the song Beetlebum performed by Blur

This song is about heroin. Damon's girlfriend was on it. Probably him too. "Get nothing done", "Just get numb". It's about heroin. A young and irresponsible song. Don't glorify something that's caused the deaths of innumerable great artists.

    ------ About the song Coffee & TV performed by Blur

Why they are all playing left-handed in the video? Does it have anything to do with nirvana's front man Kurt Cobain? I saw that video with spanish subtitle and on one of the corners it wrote:"Nirvana not". So beautiful and great song by the way! I love you Blur

    ------ About the song Sing performed by Blur

I listened to this song over and over and over, and each time I felt a different way...some times good and some times pretty bad. Its like an old friend that got me through some tough times because she always tells you the ugly truth and still gives you hope. And after hearing it a few times I went CRAZY on Blur - but I always come back to this one as the one that speaks to me the most!

    ------ About the song Sing performed by Blur

This is the best song EVER! Its a shame that it was left out of the US version of Leisure. It still rocks. Its simplicity makes for a perfect song. It honestly sounds like it came from "Blur" or maybe "13", if you want to go that deep. Anyway, this DEFINITELY not Britpop, with all the guitar feedback.

    ------ About the song Beetlebum performed by Blur

This is by way and far Blur's best song in my opinion, but I have a question.

Aa the song gets to the end, and after the last "on it", you get the great guitar solo. In the background there is some distorted vocal, that kinda loops on a approx 15 secs.

Does anybody know what is said??
