      please stop comparing oasis and blur.
      they have nothing in common since two and a half decade. there are 3 or 4 good songs of oasis, but they never made an album as great as 13, the modern life is rubbish or even this one.

    I can't remember the last time a song gave me goosebumps. I can't believe just how incredibly beautiful the chorus is, that contrast between an upbeat, uplifting melody and the crushingly sad lyrics. This is a masterpiece.

    My instant favourite. It’s brilliantly beautiful, uplifting melodic pop, although with very good, poignant lyrics.
    And the end of the song, when it all lifts and goes up a key (time stamp 3:34) is actually some of the the best Blur… ever, for a long time, whichever.

    Barbaric Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    Who blinks first?
    You're gonna win
    The fallen doves of lovers' vows
    In the world all around us
    And I'd like, if you've got the time
    To talk to you about what this breakup has done to me
    [Chorus]
    I have lost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose
    Now where am I going?
    At what cost, the feeling that I thought I'd never lose
    It is barbaric
    [Verse 2]
    Now you can't play to every taste
    The powder keg of common cause
    All of us carry trauma
    And in owe of an explanation
    I will pour oil from the cup on the pyre of abdication
    [Chorus]
    You have lost
    The feeling that you thought you'd never lose
    Now wherе are you going, darling?
    At what cost, the feeling that you thought you'd nevеr lose
    And it is barbaric
    [Verse 3]
    Empty grove, winter darkness
    We're taking down the scaffolds very soon
    Grow dappled, the lonely baubles on the plane tree
    The can of soup and heating up to ten
    Which leads me to the part
    Where we agreed on different dreams
    [Chorus]
    That we had lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    Now where are we going?
    At what cost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    It is barbaric
    We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    Now where are we going?
    We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    It is barbaric, darling
    We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    Now where are we going?
    We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose
    It is barbaric

    @stefanodonnofreewebtv Před 8 měsíci +4

    Blur's ninth studio album, "The Ballad of Darren," has finally arrived, marking a triumphant return for one of the most influential and critically acclaimed bands of the last 30 years.
    Produced by James Ford and recorded at Studio 13 in London and Devon, the album represents a departure from the band's previous work, which often featured a playful and ironic tone. "The Ballad of Darren" is a more mature and introspective offering, delving into themes of loss, regret, and the relentless passage of time.
    The album kicks off with its titular track, a poignant and soulful ballad that grapples with the profound impact of a father's passing. It serves as a moving tribute to a dearly departed loved one.
    Following this is "The Sound of the World Falling Apart," a more upbeat composition that tackles the challenges of modern life. It serves as a reminder that even amid chaos, there remains beauty to be discovered.
    Throughout the album, a series of songs explore a wide range of emotions, including love, loss, regret, and hope. Each composition is meticulously crafted and skillfully performed, showcasing the band's continued musical growth.
    The album concludes with "The Ballad of Damon," a reflective piece that contemplates the band's own career. It serves as a poignant reminder of Blur's enduring impact on British music and provides a fitting close to a powerful album. "The Ballad of Darren" stands as a well-crafted and thought-provoking album from one of the foremost bands in contemporary music. It is an essential listen for Blur enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates skillfully composed and intellectually engaging pop music.
