Damon Albarn on his latest record, Brexit and the melting Icelandic glaciers in his backyard

- At the start of 2020 Damon Albarn started creating a solo-record full of hints to isolation. And then Covid came. A coincidence? It’s almost impossible. Everything Damon Albarn has done has this foreseeing element. Or how he puts it: ‘I don’t write songs about now, I write songs about the future.’
We had an extensive conversation with the man behind Blur and Gorillaz about Brexit and the climate crisis. How he nourishes on the sources of pop music and how traveling will always be his biggest inspiration. Even when it’s impossible to travel. ‘I swam as far as I could into the sea. In a way that’s also traveling.’

I love you Damon, you are so genius as an artist, but also very articulated and aware as a human being. Never stop.
Oh my what timbre of the voice he has.. he' posses a power with that
This is an excellent interview, covered some very interesting stuff and the interviewer wasn’t afraid to ask questions he wanted to.
True! Whats the interviewers name? Cant find credits
its nice to listen to a person that has similiar thoughts and teach music
I love love love Damon Albarn 🥰
Wouldn’t it be good if for once an interviewer asked what was the fate of the beaded necklace he wore in the 90s.
Seriously though! Did it break? Did he throw it away? Why?!
@@Lilly-ve8ze So I messaged his bodyguards wife (bodyguards name is smoggy) and she wrote this to me verbatim in 2011:
“The answer to your question - Smog said The necklace Damon wore was made by his mom when he was very young. Damon no longer wears his necklace he gave some of the beads to his god daughte rOlivia who is actualy our daugher and beads live on in the form of a necklace made by Smog for her. Smog has has his bead necklace since the 80’s and was custom made by himself ! x x”
So, is this really the answer? It’s the first question I’d be asking him in an interview. I’ve been wearing a similar style beaded necklace since 2009.
@@latenightlogic that’s so awesome! Thank you so much!
I think a fan ripped it from his neck at a concert in Spain, he got very angry and stopped playing. the video is in CZcams
@@taniaarthur yeah he says this in his worst ever gigs interview
what a voice !
Well Damo defo showed some patience during that interview ... 😎🐱😜
there were a few moments where a 2001 Damon would have exploded ;)
yeah, i love how calm he is
3:29 wtf was that 🥳
'
'Anyways I enjoyed the chat you had with Damon, especially the musical points that were raised/spoken about... like him learning to play 🎹 with closed 👀's, on Tony Allen's instructions.
By the way Happy Christmas to both you & those👥👤 enjoying the channel ☃️
His iconic laugh 😂 absolutely love it
Legend
We love himmm❤️
this interviewer keeps interrupting him and answering his own questions lol
Seems like all interviewers nowadays. Bunch or narcissists who think they’re as important as the artists they’re interviewing. So annoying.
He’s so cute hahah🥺❤️❤️
I wish more open questions were asked... Rather than yes or no questions... 😔
With how he's so outspoken about enviromental issues - even to the point where he made an entire album about said issues - it's pretty surprising that he hasn't become a full blown activist.
he's too busy being a rich musician
@@aprofondir The time to take these issues seriously, is when the people telling us to take them seriously, take them seriously. Damon hasn't stopped touring by the look of things, so keep on living however you want.
@@tcaudiobooks737It's "rules for thee, but NOT FOR ME." That's the elites mantra in case nobody noticed...
Can't wait to listen to that Album
Gee I hope he tours the entire planet to play that album about climate change.
Loved Parklife (the album) but Damon Albarn always strikes me as someone who would annoy me fairly quickly. And I’m sure vice versa. 🤩
definitely. it's well documented that he's an assertive, opinionated person that can easily get on people's nerves. I think that this interviewer did a bad job interviewing Damon though. Damon was obviously in a relaxed, philosophical mood and the interviewer refused to match his tone. Instead the interviewer was very quick with his comments and kinda tried to talk over Damon (big mistake). I believe a more mature interviewer would have matched Damon's tone and simply asked questions and let Damon answer.
One human being I would absolutely love to meet.
Thank you/
5:10 “the future is coming on” I see what u did there Lol *Clint Eastwood* “My future, is coming on is coming is coming on” 😂
Everything's already happened ❤🤙
Whistles while he talks.
theyre all sssssort of sssslowly recccccceding in the ssssnooow
He always has, always
That's because of his gold crown at the front....
He's subconsciously composing a track for his new album.
He’s just a music man
3:21
Yeah. Yeah, of course. Yeah, no. Well... Well... Yeah, but no. Exactly
He is SO BRIGHT!
@3voor12 is damon albarn here to perform somewhere in Amsterdam? where?
no entiendo nada, pero te amo Damon
Does he whistling in between words?
Yea, he said it’s been happening since he lost his tooth many years ago
Why does the interviewer force his questions over the interviewees answers?
Excellent interviewer
Never been keen on his music, but he talks sense.
what a great interview
"...that's true of all glaciers....."....IS IT Damon!?!@!?
te amo hermoso
Yeah, we can still go to France and Poland, you know.
3voor12, why are valid comments being removed? Am I allowed to state that Damon's hallowed Iceland is not an EU member and then ask the following question? Why is it not okay for Britain to be a non-EU member?
jeez were we close
Does he think glaciers are supposed to be static....or grow infinitely large?
Put your thinking cap on and realize that receding glaciers are part of the oscillations. Oscillations.
3.29 😂
Wow.... My trees have all there leaves off. Just the same as every year I've been alive for nearly 38 years. Also the beach front I live by... It's water level is exactly the same. Except hight and low tide. Fascinating. ffs I'm all for taking care of the environment but how about go bark up BP and Exxon Mobiles tree before you start shaming the average citizen. Amazing how the Roberbaron families have always managed profit off dumping chemicals ect. into the rivers and such but now the Duponts and Rockefellers now want to blame all of us for ruining the planet. As they take their G5 jets to their "Climate summits" when they could have used Zoom. And some of them are taking trips to lower earth orbit for literally for no other reason than a " joy ride." Sounds a lot like "Rules for me but not for thee." And if they're so detached they can't see the GLARING hypocrisy perhaps we should do then a favor and "correct them" Jack Torrance style.....
Bryan thank you so much for your sane comment! It may also help considerably if they stopped geo engineering . It is indeed the same people pushing responsibility on us that are involved in the most environmentally destructive practices.
The whole thing is designed to shame the avarage citizen into submission to a totalitarian technocracy so its irrelevant to go speak to some mega corporation about climate change.
The whole thing is just a vehicle being used to control peoples every move and the people who are going along with the climate change agenda are just useful idiots.
Rockefeller etc dont actually give a damn about climate change these elites just want to control the whole world and "climate change" is the perfect excuse.
I'm sure you know all this already. Club of Rome and all that jazz.
Why is he living in Iceland.
Been here long enough to get citizenship so I guess he likes it in Iceland 🇮🇸 n that's why.. 🤔🤷
It's a rock star privilege
He has started to look like Elton John.
He dresses like a 50yr old teenager what a boring interview
this interviewer was kinda annoying
Interviewer is cringe
bollocks
Iceland is not melting
He is full of shit he is so boring he has got to come up with a topic that he thinks will sell his music. Global warming is not as important than things like jeffery epstein but he is not singing about that ha ha
@@theprogrammerrolandmc3039 short term thinking is what humans do best I guess. You are guilty of that.
@@ab8jeh ..said the one that insults people on line
@@theprogrammerrolandmc3039 who have I insulted?
Then stop making nfts
Maybe he moved to Iceland to Bang or Work with Bjork?
Iceland I would be board senseless
Someone that has had a huge carbon footprint in their lifetime should be ashamed to use global warming to sell his music. Why does he not donate all his money to science
We`re all part of the system. If you read comments you should have recognized that he could help a lot of people mentally/spiritually by doing his thing. How about you?
He fly's all over the world 🌍 the cheeky boy he does my head in
He’s really not very bright. Amazing how ineloquent he is considering he’s a supposed lyricist.
The interview was incredibly boring as well.
You saying he’s not very bright tells everyone everything they should know about you.
He looks knackered here he needs more sleep here
