[@Protroblade]

I don’t know how this didn’t make it onto the album it’s so beautiful

[@ElleElle7830]

Agree. Another beautiful heartbreaker.

[@Protroblade]

@@ElleElle7830 :)

[@markcornell9560]

It’s on the deluxe edition

[@Protroblade]

@@markcornell9560 yeah I mean on the main album

[@carlavelizguerra2527]

Maybe because it’s too personal for Damon and therefore dedicated to his ex longtime partner 💔

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

Can’t believe this was left off the main album. It’s fantastic

[@fredfredrickson5436]

Probably because you can't really feel the band's footprint on it. Yet another Albarn classic though.

[@pyenapple]

This album is basically the sequel to “13”; a set of personal songs written in the aftermath of a breakup

[@carlavelizguerra2527]

Well said! it could perfectly has been a Damon solo album by itself … maybe he didn’t make it even more personal ❤️‍🩹

[@KevinLarkinAngioli]

Lyrically, yes; sonically, no. Love this band.

[@latenightlogic]

@@KevinLarkinAngioliI’m glad someone said this.

[@vincenzostr4488]

Rage is a force sometimes
That we all
That we all go crying back to, misinformed
But it pays us all to forgive
Know that I will always be here
For you even
When I'm gone (Gone from this world)
From this world
(Deep waters) Deep waters of the well
What do you really want?
What do you really need?
What do you really want from me?
The swan softly sleeps
She calls reflections down beyond
The willow tree
Do you miss me?
Though I'm often gone
Know that I will always be here
For you even
When you've gone (Gone from this world)
From this world
(Deep waters) Deep the waters of the well
What do you really want?
What do you really need?
What do you really want from me?
What do you really need?
The pines of the morning star
They call reflections down beyond
The broken hearts
Do you miss me now I've gone?
Know that I will always be here
Even though I have to let you go
What do you really want?
What do you really need?

Thank you

Good thing they've added this one in the deluxe version. Best song in an album full of great songs. Thank you Blur, again (and again).

[@alclarke]

I haven’t heard a great deal of Blur but this was moving.

[@diegoblanco1957]

Dave Rowntree is the man in this one, great drumming. Lyrics are so....human. Incredible record, band, singer.

[@robertmartorana2502]

this should've been on the album so fucken good

[@fistsofsteel2]

...make it a single - the world could do with a dose of humanity, unity, reflection, and a deeper understanding...of what's really important in life/existence. The world needs this x

[@armandovissani4834]

Stupenda. Sono stato al loro concerto a Lucca qualche giorno fa. Grandi.
"The Swan" x me è una canzone oltre❤
Amore e rispetto x i Blur da Roma

[@matiascatalan4644]

The whole last minute is simply gorgeous, so heartfelt ❤️

[@fastrnur20]

This song is gorgeous! I was almost in tears listening to the full album on several occasions, but this one just about did me in 😅

[@terencemeikle534]

This plaintive, directly emotional ethos would have been out of place in the "Britpop" phase of Blur's career. Now, however, with the band and their core fans reaching mid-life, Damon's mellowed voice and the gentle backing are simply perfect. Gorgeous. ❤

[@HandleMuhBzMz]

Damon's voice. 🥰🥰🥰

[@lisaondina3075]

There are no words to describe this beautiful song, only magical. Great blur and Damon's wonderful voice ✨

[@lukedaley17]

This song is pure Beauty. Well done to Damon Albarn and the rest of Blur for putting this song together.

[@LauraCiao-rr9ec]

La musica è davvero molto dolce e delicata. Peccato averla inserita solo nella versione deluxe dell'album.

[@Charleycrockett.]

Hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here

[@kypdur4746]

Beautiful song.
It's been a great year for my hero songwriters, namely Damon and Noel. They've sound tracked so much of my life. I am a very happy record buyer. Long may it continue.

Anyone know if they used the duke string quartet for this album? The string sections sound gorgeous throughout

[@TritnewNG]

I get why Damon is doing it but I missed deluxe editions coming out at the same time as the main album, but since peeps treat the extra tracks as real canon to the main album these days, I guess this is what he's gotta do.

[@ManWalksDogs]

mmm was quite relieved my partner had preordered the version with both bonus tracks, rather than the base ten, once i found out these existed. dunno if these are on the vinyl/if there's room for them as we have the cd for the car. must've been preorderable at the same time though, as she got in there early doors.

[@neffersonjickel3901]

The Duluxe vinyl version had The Rabbi and The Swan as a bonus 7". So glad I ordered that version.

[@TritnewNG]

@@neffersonjickel3901 That's way better than the Cracker Island deluxe vinyl set, there was definitely room to put the three bonus tracks on the included 7 inch instead of a Cracker Island single but alas, it didn't happen.
I'm guessing that was out of Damon's control.

... Sacred Song!!!...

[@carlavelizguerra2527]

Jajajaja! Buena observación. Yo creo que Damon con todo ese material post ruptura de su larguísima relación no quiso ser tan obvio para dejarlo como album solista. Si bien en si no es malo, falta esa chispa blurista noventera con mas guitarras de Coxon. Pero bueno, ya sabemos quien manda en Blur 😂😂

@@carlavelizguerra2527 Creo lo mismo Carla... De hecho, escuché St Charles Sqare y dije "Uhh esto tiene algo del homónimo🔥" y derrepente, el soundtrack de un tipo que lleva 1 hora tratando de levantarse de la cama... En fín. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Cual es tu disco favorito?

[@carlavelizguerra2527]

@@lexgo1812 jajajaj! Sii pobre Damon... igual siento que genera opiniones encontradas este disco. Porque claro, bkn purgar tu pena creativamente y Damon, sin duda, es de las mentes mas brillantes y únicas que hoy está vigente y se atrevería a hacerlo... entre tanta cosa independiente, proyectos paralelos y mil colaboraciones de lujo ... Peeero Blur tiene su sello y siento que aquí se diluye mucho o no se percibe del todo, entre su muy legítima - y quizá demasiado expuesta- pena.... Con todo el respeto, admiración y amor que le tenemos a Damon, definitivamente, era para album solista. No era necesario arrastrar a todo Blur para una idea creativa que al final es solo suya. Mi favoritos son Parklife! y el homónimo, emblemas de los carretes de mis años de Liceo jajaja 😎🤘🔥
