Blur is back, we don't need anything else. ❤
We are young again !

Superb album
wrong@@dye5915
And now they are gone forever
this song has a real vintage feeling to it. Seems a song form another era. Especially Graham's guitar - smooth and soulful. So so good.
I have no words that can admirał enough what Graham did here
Sounds almost like Johnny Marr
I love these drawings, really like the style!
This is a 3d model i think
@@alessandrogattobigi8143
Can you expand on this a bit more please, as I'm a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to tech, what do you mean 3d, like it's been done in C.A.D or something like that? xx
Yes it would be created upon on a computer with a 3D animation program which is like CAD and a rendering style that looks like a drawing.
Park Gorky - my most memorable performance (with Gorillaz) . Damon summoned for rain, so it were unsaid. I'm waiting you again. Peace❤
Как сейчас помню, он сказал "мы вернёмся"...
Короток был тот долгожданный концерт
Beautiful song. Love it. reminds me in parts of Fleetwood Mac, Beatles. Musically really strong stuff on the album.
Greetings from Belgrade!
Russian Strings Lyrics
[Verse]
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Are you coming back to us?
Are you online?
Are you contactable again?
Wear the blue lights
Wear the red dress
Puppet dancing on strings
Balalaika and singing
[Chorus]
The tenement blocks come crashing down
With headphones on you won't hear that much
There's nothing fake on earth
There are strings attached to all of us
There's nothing in the end, only dust
So turn the music up
I'm hitting the hard stuff
[Bridge]
Flew to Belgrade
Stayed in a hotel sinking
Went to museums, tobacco, and midweek grave digger
[Chorus]
The tenement blocks came crashing down
With headphones on you won't hear that much
There's nothing fake on earth
There are strings attached to all of us
There's nothing in the end only dust
When you pull the lever down
I'll be hitting the hard stuff
@@ffscm
(I’m in Belgrade)
Turn the music up
I’m hitting the hard stuff
Thank you, bro!
this is one of my favourites from the new album ❤️ the chorus is so addictive
Nothing like a bit of existential dread over some great guitar chords to go with my morning coffee. 🌅☕️
thanks a lot for such beautiful and melancholic release
One of my favourites out of the new album. A favourite out of a heap of jewels let’s say. Fantastic
It's really good, isn't it? Been a fan since the last millennium and this is so good.
Probably still number 2 behind Parklife
Although this album is more beautiful
Damon, you arrived at Belgrade finally. We want Blur concert here!
Beautiful song❤
i've replayed this song for up to 2 hours and never got bored😀
I love this! The whole album is amazing! Thanks for sharing your gift with the world!
I'm hitting the hard stuff!!! Beautiful song with lovely guitar tones!
I can see myself reminiscing on these times with this album and a stiff whiskey when im a 60yr old timer in the next 30years.
60 aint old
Love from Belgrade, Serbia 🎶❤️🇷🇸
Dabarndan
Beautiful piece of work
Instant favourite on first play
Well produced . .nice riffs .Nice vocal .nice melody .good lyric
All round good stuff
Riffs are insane!!! 😮
Fantastic. Mournful but uplifting at the same time. As powerful as anything else they've done.
Graham's playing at the end reminds me of Paul Weller's playing in The Style Council for some reason.
Absolutely magnificent.
Love this song, been listening to it on repeat since yesterday ❤️
Such a great song, one of my fav from the new album.
I've heard the whole album, but I can't understand a lot of mature lyrics because I am too young and dumb. But this one is hitting me the right stuff. After all, I am like a coward puppet, putting the headphones to avoid tenement blocks crushing humming, hiding the newsfeed, hoping a few dear persons and I will survive (or at least they can do it without me). I can't stop this horror by energetic way because I'm too empty for this hard work and I know I won't stop it with my hands getting involved into the act because I am too soulless egoistic asshole (let this meaning here for the others, but there are something more) and I know it will be kind of different soon (a little bit of unsubstantiated optimism can help). In this morning Damon beat this animal and leading him into a lump in his throat. The man who quite well understand that can hit the right stuff to any lost soul. Thank you Blur, from Ukraine with love.
Хах, ну и разнесло тебя на коммент, но если смотреть на текст не сквозь пальцы выдуманных домыслов, то по факту они поют в контексте чтобы россия (с маленькой "р") поскорее вернулась в цивилизованный мир... Are you coming back to us? Are you contactable again? А слова There are strings attached to all of us будто оправдывают их действия, типу - ну с кем не бывает... Все мы жертвы режима, политики, семьи и к нам привязаны эти нити ограничивающие наши действия. Это очень и очень конспиративный текст, который ни в коем случае не осуждает действия россии, путина или россиян напрямую.
@@ffscm текст песни хоть и не осуждает прямо, но позиция Деймона по всему, что сейчас происходит как раз не вызывает вопросов, все можно найти в интернете
ребята, почему бы вам не хрюкать по-украински, а? ну или английский уже выучите, смешно же.
@@NA-di3yy весь русский был создан за украинских князей при КИЕВСКОЙ руси. Это не ваш язык, клоун.
@@AlexeyAlexeev23 и какая же у него позиция? Он никогда не говорил напрямую что то против России
Adore this album. Much better than any other band out.
May be the best cut on the album. Beautiful.
This and barbaric
Love blur ❤
Beautiful song I’m feeling it 👌🏻❤
"where are we now, all the young dudes, `bout sound and vision"
playd by Blur in the honor of... you know )
Absolutely Glorious!
Que romántico ❤ me enamoré
Blur ist zurück... in alter Form. Klasse!
reminds me of the Kinks or Ray Davis solo stuff. I like.
I love the guitar in the end
So if there's only dust in the end, should we not care that tenements are being destroyed by the puppets who put their headphones on?
¡Qué chimba concierto en Colombia!
Love from Poland ❤
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Are you coming back to us?
Are you online?
Are you contactable, again?
Where the blue lights?
Where the red-dressed puppet?
Dancing on a string?
Balalaikas and singing

Damon Albarn’s vocals are strikingly unique!
Lovely!

Привет из России! Отличный альбом.
Im here now😊
The doll in the visualiser is how sleep paralysis feels

The tenement blocks are still crushing down......it is painful. Greetings from Belgrade
😵💫
Have you really being in Belgrade? I'm sure it was not being so depressive at all, except maybe on late December rainy afternoon. ⚘
🎧▶🎶🎭
Surprised how knopflerish Graham's guitar sounds here
What is "knopflerish"?
@@mistergrinch2655 new word I created 😂. "Similar to Mark Knopfler's style"
@@caralladas76 ahaha interesting :D
btw this is indeed knopflerish
Reminds me of John Lennon's solo album !
Отличный альбом, парни! Из России с любовью / Great album, guys! From Russia with love
Love and repect to Russia and it`s people
@@jB..33b854 wtf is wrong with you
Still good
This has a flavour of modern day Arctic Monkeys
ou yeahh
My favorite emigration song now😭😭😭 With broken heart from Belgrade.💔
It's lovely to listen to that to the sound of the air raid alarm in Kyiv while reading messages from my friends in Odessa about explosions in their downtown. Damn, what the fuck is wrong with you, Blur?
If you have air raids so often and you are always bombed, then why didn't you leave Kyiv or sit in the basement, at least? Maybe because there really is no threat to civilians?
@@qu1cksilver212 If you are so curious, why don't you come visit m8
@@qu1cksilver212 omg explaining war in Ukraine to Ukrainians, my favorite thing that westerns do
@@user-uw5iy5yl7c Have you forgotten from whose taxes this war is paid? Where are you, on the front lines? Why do so many Ukrainians talk about the war, but they are in Europe, or sit at home and constantly write something on social networks? It's strange that with all the terrible bombing from Russia, you manage to lead a normal life, this is sarcasm if you don't understand.
@@user-uw5iy5yl7cit looks like the fella comes from ruzzia though 😂
Well well what a surprise huh
Late Bowie influence
Reminds me of Bo Rap

Could be on TBHC by Arctic Monkeys 💙 The album is produced by James Ellis Ford so very similar production and style which I love by the way ✅
Belgrade 🫶
Да, про Россию же))
Hearing this song I really wished some Eastern head of state would listen to this and start thinking about what he is doing...
Thank heavens that Damon has the skills (..and the guts) to write about these topics. Great great great song!! ❤🕊 🫶
When the Western heads of states stops making money from wars they arrange, then peace will come. Russians and Ukrainians should not lose their relatives in the war for your comfort life.
Hm...I do not fully understand your point, I must say. I actually was very pleased with the energy, we got from Russia. Now everything here is super expensive. I guess we all have to pay for this. But as for every war, the killing of other human beings has to stop immediately. It is sad to see, that they are far away from starting to talk to each other and try to find a way to end it.
Бошка той куклы из Шрэка
Clicking on these tracks one after the other. All a bit one-paced, mournful and uneventful. I do enjoy Blur, so maybe this record will be a grower.
This record will definitely be a grower. At first listen, I was confused about all the praise it had been receiving, but now I'm completely hooked to this album. It mostly has a slow pace yes, but the songs are beautiful still and at times melancholic (like this gem here).

he sings directly to David Bowie, sincearly )
when I realized it. it smashed me over the floor, crying
hardly remember another song that made me feel so deep/
Hadn't realised until I read this. I think you're right. Where are you now, puppet performances, red dress, Berlin tenement blocks.
@@rain_down_ also "blue, blue , electric blue" )
they actually play that!
David smiles from above with his widest smile for sure
The reference to Bowie is completely lost on me. Can you elaborate please?
@@gmmgmmg There's an article with Damon where he discusses this Blur album and says that he feels that subconsciously Bowie lives on through him, and he finds himself channelling Bowie through his songs now. This is why I think the first five lines of the lyrics to this are to Bowie, mainly because of 'Where are you now', a nod to Bowie's famous 'Where are we now' single. No idea about the blue, blue, electric blue bit - I personally can't hear any similarity to Sound and Vision.
I think the last track on the album, The Heights, is more Bowie. It uses the opening guitar chords to Space Oddity and Damon's vocals definitely do channel Bowie quite blatantly.
They ripped of gorillaz pink phantom
не совсем понимаю при чём тут Белград🤨
Мне показалось, что этот текст от лица человека, сбежавшего от мобилизации в сентябре, его знакомые интересуются, надолго ли он отчалил. Он уехал в Белград и бесцельно проводил там время, будучи игрушкой, зависимой от внешних обстоятельств.
@@bellami86 блин, интересно, так много разных мнений
@@mistergrinch2655 ага, для каждого по своему, судя по комментариям
@@bellami86 речь все же о Белгороде, а не Белграде😂
@@bellami86 о, отличная трактовка. я вот не сразу понял о чём песня. а вообще зря он в политику
What’s up with the naming🤔
Russians are real people too and Russian is a real place. What people cant use the word Russian anymore?
this song describes russian people as dolls controlled by strings, it's a commentary on putin's dictatorship
хотілося б вірити у те, що Деймон таки норм пацан і пісня - критика рашки. деякі рядки начебто на це вказують - будівлі що взриваються, "лялька" що підспівує під балалайку
It’s the star treatment, yeaah
@@blink182Alex1 Hahahah, you are live in misunderstanding that all ordinary people from all over the world are hanging by a strings. You'll have to listen to the song more times if you didn't notice it in the lyrics.
brilliant juxtaposition of what I assume is the natural nature of russia and its national aptittue to fight ... and the nature of the west to be complacent to just listen. And the manner in which it is presented. !!!! " i will be hitting the hard stuff". will never be the same!!! indeed thank you damon albarn brilliant!!! by the way... LOL. I made that up. But the song is super cute and super emo brilliant stuff though.
Its a good but I dont get... what does Belgrade have to do with Russia?
I think this is about immigration from Russia after February 24
Love from Russia❤
Russia stamped its foot and the whole world flew into a black hole along a circular trajectory.
They stood up to the bullies
NO. They don’t know about humanism and don’t deserve mentioning in world music!
"Russian Strings" ultimately portrays a longing for genuine human connection, a reflection on the fragile nature of our existence, and a recognition that in the end, all we have is the present moment.
I really hope that this song is a critique of russians. Otherwise, im very dissapointed in Blur:(
Грустно. Мирный русский народ ни в чем не виноват
pretty ballad. 1:40 just rocks my world. Kind of shaking my head at how Jimmy Buffett soft-rock they sound like at times in this album so far, but the reality is they’re in their mid-50s, I’m not sure what I was expecting, they were never gonna reinvent the wheel here. Grade: C+
nobody cares about your grades c'mon. music is about emotions, not numbers or letters, you weirdo.
russians - puppets. OK.
Are you connectable, again? I DON'T THINK SO..
With headphones on you won't hear that much. OBVIOUSLY.
The tenement blocks came crashing down. YES.
So turn the music up I'm hitting the hard stuff. SO...too subtle to make sense.
Greetings from Kyiv
от я теж сижу і думаю... це Деймон таки критикує рашку? чи це просто знов якась стандартна метафора, як пишуть люди, на ізольованість людини і все інше. Дуже люблю як Blur так і Gorillaz( навіть був на концерті в Києві в 2018му) і наче ж вони робили пости у нашу підтримку. та всеодно якось все це мене заплутує:(

я теж сиджу і не розумію, це критика кацапії чи не дуже?
Россия - не марионетка!
расися марионетка запада! Зеленский и Байден решают свои проблеми русскими людьми, путин - человек Киева! его еще порошеко купил в 14ом году. иначе почему Украину не захватили тогда? заговор!
привет. вот какими бывают русские струны czcams.com/video/AXPc_n1vgE0/video.html
Надеюсь когда-нибудь Blur и Gorillaz приедут в Россию ещё 🥲
Тоже надеюсь, но при нынешних условиях это исключено
