Please don't ever leave us Blur. What an album, what a band.
Blur are in another planet then Oasis
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.
Not too shabby Mano
yikes! 🤣
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.
💯💯💯
a
Songs give me goosebumps all the time, guess i'm a slut, but i'm obsessed with this one and this whole album.
The vocal production and performance are achingly beautiful and impressive technically. My current favorite song in the world
Thanks Blur for putting the lyrics to the songs. Makes the experience to listen to it more rich.
especially for non native speakers, also I loved the visualizer. They dont need a sofisticated video their music is enough and lyrics help us to sing out loud ;)
Damon has broken up with his long term partnership at Xmas....
Confused on the lyric, plane tree, I thought would have been plain tree. What is a plane tree? A tree of planes?
He hasn't lost any of his voice! Amazing
But have lost the feeling that he thought he'd never lose
*It is barbaric.*
Damon is a master of contrasting hopeless lyrics with upbeat melodies
"The falling doves of lovers' vows" is perfect
You ain’t wrong Damon is an absolute genius!
Couldn't have put it better myself! Brilliant.
I'd say a modern songwriter who does that well is Matty Healy. Looking For Somebody To Love, Its not living, Ugh, very well done.
It sucks because hopeless Lyrics are cringe, the instrumentals are great and hopefull. Like stop being so sad moron, write inspiring stuff
"Now you can't play to every taste" Damon is so honest, so raw and such a creative mastermind genius.
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.
Yep best Blur song in a long time, one of their best.
Couldn’t agree more, absolutely fantastic!!
It's majestic
I usually hate when songs do that but this is awesome...
This is my personal favourite on the Album😊
Same!
Instant!
I think it’s probably the only real contender as a 3rd single.
@@blurkid33 true
Definitely the most obvious choice!
"We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose" 💔
the progression change on 3:35.... unnghhh. so good.
Man...Blur will never cease to be anything short of genius...Thank you Blur for coming back again, this album so far sounds phenomenal...
That song is a timeless masterpiece at least in my opinion.
The Narcissist and this are the best songs on this album in my opinion but its great we get to enjoy REAL music in this day and age 🎶✌️
Fabulous song on a first class written album. Waited too long for the Blur boys to make this comeback and boy, they have not disappointed. Damon Albarn is a genius and a credit to the music industry and the whole group is a brotherhood
That blur drops a new album means everything to me
Thats it, im playing the album nonstop for the next few months because i love it 💕
Same here!
Amen😊
This is one of the best Blur Songs of all time. instant Classic for me
After learning hes just split from his 25 year relationship this song hurts so bad
I'll bow to you guys.
Had to listen to it a couple more times after the first... My mind, took me to The Smiths, Joy Division, The Cure, Crowded House, Bowie and a bit of Duran Duran.
It's great when a song, in this god forsaken moment, takes you through these great musical memories.
Thank you all.
I was reminded of 'Uncertain Smile' and 'This Is the Day', both by The The.
I got more Joy Division/Cure vibes, the chorus on the bass does it for me.
My love for blur started in 1990 seeing them at Sheffield octagon and 4 more times over the year's..this is a stunning album..iam 52 and still a fan..Good work gents I Salute 🫡 you
Awesome memories! I am 40. Saw Blur in 1997 in Denver at the Ogden Theater. Tiny venue. Great show!! Opened with Beetlebum.
Heartbreak lyrics to an upbeat tune. Once again Blur deliver the goods.
This song gets better with each listen 💙
It does!
The most beautiful song in whole album! Thank you.
God of melody.
This masterpiece makes me lose the feelings I thought I'd never lose for everything that went before. On repeat ❤
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
Genius from start to finish, so much sunny space in the music, so much resignation & sadness in the words.
Another fantastic track on a brilliant Album! Lovely to have Blur back. Thank You!
Another moment of genius from Damon
“I have lost the feeling that I thought I’d never lose.” Oof. I love it.
Im glad that Blur is back. I was 15 when I became fan and now 20 years later went to concert again and became fan again :)
Oh thank you Blur! This came at the perfect time in my life. I needed this so badly. What an exceptional album and gorgeous voice..
the arpegio from graham plus damons voice, alex cutting bass and dave calm beat ufff perfection
Highlight of the album & 100% resonate with the lyrics right now!
Capolavoro ❤
As soon as I hear this song became one of my favorites ❤❤❤ looking forward to hear it live in Mexico 🇲🇽🤘
Hey do you mind me asking, how did Blur get so big in Mexico? I've noticed a lot of comments from Latinos on several videos and I'm genuinely curious how a little British rock band got so big in a country that speaks a different language. Love from the UK!
@@Dmitrikrotchlikmyov
That's a good question that I would also be very interested in. And that's also the case in Asia and Sweden. Blur are huge there
@@sylkewatter1170 maybe it's just like a Rammstein thing where people appreciate the music without having to understand the lyrics. Gotta be a reason it's so big in certain countries though 🤔
@@Dmitrikrotchlikmyov funny enough, I also like Rammstein. Recently travelled from Mexico to see them in their European tour, Is amazing to see them live here and even though we don't know or understand their lyrics you can hear everyone in their concerts singing out loud.
@@Lucerna982 that's awesome! I've always seen them when they come over to England. Their live performances are absolutely amazing
This album is a masterpiece
Questa è voce e questa è musica libera! Sogno!
I know this 2023 is still goin' on, but I've already my song of the year.. No contest. Barbaric makes me feel better, makes me feel happy despite the lyrics. We haven't lost that feeling, though. Thank you Blur
Blur is my favorite band
Albuquerque! The King of Rock 'n' Roll!
This is one hell of a song!
Almost reluctant to make that statement, but this might be Blur's best album. Thirty two years in, that's saying something, isn't it? It's saying something.
No tengo dudas de que está entre sus mejores discos! Uno de los mejores regresos de la música!!!!
I have found, the sound that I thought that I'd never hear
So, so good. Not just this song but the whole record. Listened to the whole of it twice last night. I’m already in love with it.
Bloody love this. Was never a massive Blur fan.....until years later. Can't get enough!!
Magic
Majestic
Another belting track, so fresh it takes me back to the 90s
I was ready to sing "This is the day" and it suddenly morphed into something completely different!
The blur on their best! Uncroyable. Pungent!
Remember when people were discussing who was better oasis or blur. I feel sad for the people who thought wrongly oasis were better.
Blur couldn't top Morning Glory, that's why Oasis won. Only facts.
I feel sad for the people who always feel the need to compare one band to another.
Mate, for every 1 decent blur song, oasis have at least 20 decent songs, u obvs weren't around in the 90s, 2 quality bands btw but don't be daft to ever think blur were ever on the level of oasis, only a fucking total fool would come out with that pish, also I do love this particular blur song but took them about 20 years to release this while oasis have broken up and Liam and noel, by just doing their solo stuff after oasis prob have a better back catalogue than blur, I've seen oasis many times and blur zero times, says it all yet have bought a few blur albums only to be disappointed as have about 2 or 3 good songs on them yet every oasis single has 3 good songs never mind their albums with a lot more, stupid comment mate imo but each to their own I suppose 👍
This is what I’ve been waiting for from them. So pretty I cried.
I love their early sound but The Ballad of Darren proves to me they still have the magic! My music producer friend and me have been life long fans of blur, we were born after they made it big, I don't know who can think oasis are better than them, for us it's no contest, still a great rivalry for the ages, one for the history books, my friend is an English producer and blur and Damon especially have helped shape his and all modern music, I wanna throw him some love as we've been through a lot together, he's just released a new track, please try searching Lonely gimmick - Roll Me Over, you may be in for a surprise and he would love to hear your opinion
My favorit song from this Album ❤❤
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.

One of the best tracks in the album...good job!
La voce si Damon in questa traccia mi fa ringiovanire di vent’anni
And when the strings kick in at the outro ... dats whare the drama heart explodes .. 3:35

Brilliant to have u back ..

My favourite song on the album❤💯
gorgeous
Such a soft sounding song yet so meaningful.
"This song should have been the first single of the album, the lyrics fully embrace the loss of mutual love, a beautiful explanation of what happens to us without being able to understand it."
this reminds me of mid 2000s indie which is no bad thing
Pure genius, blur at their best, long may they continue to give us such fantastic meaningful music, you guys are quite simply fabulous x
This is a bloody good album which i brought last Saturday 22nd July 2023
A song about midlife crises never sound so fine, holy shit.
♥
Just broke up with my girlfriend of 10 years, this hits hard.
