Her 1st mistake was calling him "All-Bin". Her 2nd mistake was mentioning "Justine". His revenge? A note perfect rendition of her boyfriend's (Ray Davies) most excellent song, and then ghosting her.
Thank you Damon. You nailed the genius reversed chord on the chorus 1st chord. i just came to check it. You are great. i really wish i were born in england. i love to explain, discuss and teach,so... sorry for my bad english, here my theory: the melancholie is visible on the harmonics. on chorus first "sleep" she sings the note before the resolution. (note: a basic chord is made of 3 notes together. 1, 3 and 5.) that sang note on "sleep" is the 3. the bass plays the 5. others instruments make it lighter for the 1. the 1 being the base of the chord, if the bass plays the 5, as the bass should play the base, so the 5 makes the chord sound like it flies in sustain. so the chord sound in sustain, with the voice before resolution. on the 2nd "sleep" this is the resolution (emotionally we hear a submission). why resolution ? cause the chord now play the same note on the bass but the chord has changed and make that 5 being the 1. so at that moment we have the bass playing 1, the voice singing 5, and the harmonies make a light 3. Essential note: the bass plays the same note on the 2 "sleep". the first time is called a reversed chord. the cool thing here is first it flies, and second it falls. BUT the bass was already waiting for the fall as it was playing the future 1. and there we find what we feel. first there is a question, unknown, loneliness, sadness. until secondly she accepts the sleep, with sadness, which she says "imagining you are there". music is a langage. for real. songs can be great if you can adapt the lyrics to the music emotions.
Others have pointed this out but new posters keep raising the Damon Albarn and Justice Frischmann breakup. This (excellent) performance is from 1995; Albarn and Frischmann broke up in 1998 before Blur’s 1999 album 13 (you can look it up). Watch the video carefully from the beginning. Albarn looks unhappy even before Chrissie Hynde makes her Justine-in-America comment. Hynde didn’t say anything obviously or overtly rude to Albarn in the video. Maybe she did at rehearsal or before the show. To me, it seems like Albarn is angry and pouting about something even as he walked to the piano. But he should have been professional about whatever was bugging him and not let it show. To me, he comes off as rude. I say this as a fan of both Albarn/Blur and Hynde/Pretenders.
I disagree. Albarn and Frischmanns relationship had lots of ups and downs before the final parting, one or more of which Hynd is probably referring to. If so, then what Hynde said to Albarn at the beginning of the vid is fairly obviously a sarky remark. Who knows if there was or wasn't some interchange prior to the filming. Anyhow, to me, Albarn doesn't look at all happy. He did though come on, did the piano accompaniment, and left the stage. I can only say that, in my opinion , it's very uncool to come out on a public stage with some smartass comment about your guest's love life. As it happens I really like that song, as performed by Hynde and The Pretenders all those years ago..., a far more complete rendition than the original , as written and performed by ex-hubbie Ray Davies and The Kinks.
@@andrewpreston4127 The 1999 breakup was public and Hynde could have known about it. Albarn and Frischmann didn't break up or have any public rows in 1995. If Hynde touched a nerve, it would have been accidental and unintentional. Hynde's comment doesn't come off as smartass. Suggesting that Hynde may have said something offensive before the show is just speculation. It is equally plausible that Albarn was just really hungover, but hat too would be speculation. Without more information, it's impossible to know why Albarn acted the way he did. I do agree that it's a great song and that Hyde and Albarn did a beautiful stripped down performance of it.
+Mis Kay He wasn't happy from the get go. He was in the middle of relationship breakup with longstanding partner Justine Frischmann. Chrissie Hynde needled Albarn about it, right before he's about to perform. I can't imagine why she seems to think he'd find this funny. They have performed on stage together since, in Dec 2015.
Damon's relationship with Elastica's guitarist Justine Frischmann recently ended and apparently Chrissie Hynde opened up a wound with Damon by mentioning Justine's name. Lesson learned here ..... really, really THINK before you speak ! Once your thoughts become audible, you can't take them back.
Written by Ray Davies of Kinks' fame. I agree this version is a little too fast. Kia does a good version which is much slower, but for my taste I prefer the Kinks' original demo recording. Cher and others have also recorded this. I read somewhere that Ray wrote it about his wife, when she was in Hospital having their baby. Ray of course lived with Chrissie Hynde at one point.
I didn't like it either...it was cheap..or corney...I'm not sure which word..but yeah she's fantastic and I didn't ask the same question ❓...but didn't really like it .lanyway it's the cutest song ...
I wonder what happened to you all... It's a Kinks song...(no more details here...) So.... Damon is a sixties fanatic musician and Chrissie Hynde is his idol... it's a pleasure for him, to play with a artist like she is. Artists are animals. Normal people are just a piece of ....
Полина Напольнова yes thats what everybody was asking....why damon had that attitude while he was performing the song...you can tell thats the reason!!!!
Damon always egocentric , a damm freakie ... but this is a stage , a Pretenders concert , not a Blur or Gorillaz ... Cryssie is not a Gallagher's sister .
No, she was being an arsehole to him By asking, "Is justine still in america?" HE IS CLEARLY PISSED AT THIS AND EVEN AT THE END WHEN SHE TRIES TO GIVE HIM A HUG HE ACTS LIKE HE DOESNT SEE HER AND WALKS OFF. Damon is not like this at all. He is very polite
So obsessed with young Damon focus playing quietly in this video
Had the biggest crush on Damon as a child I absolutely loved him
Damon is amazing
Love this version with Damon Albarn on piano.
HES SO BEAUTIFUL
My beautiful Gina. She died on the 13th of April at 47 years old. This song says what I feel like.
😔🔭😢
Perfect performance of a perfect song. They both look so cool too.
She's a good artist...it's a beautiful song...🥲
They are SO Cool 😎 with Kinks words & tunes, I can hear Ray, smiling x
2:58 he’s so beautiful
Wow another Kinks cover collab. well done , nice selection. Just as good as Waterloo Sunset. Thanks!
Albarn's expression and demeanor didn't change, before or after, Chrissie made her "Justine" remark...
I think he just looked sad after that(
I think she mentioned Justine to help Damon get into the right frame of mind for the song.
Thanks Ray
So beautiful ❤❤❤
if youtube vid would be a gift, this would be the best gift ever
I love Chrissie Hynde and i love Damon Albarn too.. And it is sad that she may have hurt his feelings.. No need for that
What a unique and great voice.
Damon is so gorgeous...❤
Beautiful.
Damon has left the building 😂
and written by the great Ray Davies
The greatest
Two MUSIC GODS.
So cool to hear this.
Her 1st mistake was calling him "All-Bin".
Her 2nd mistake was mentioning "Justine".
His revenge? A note perfect rendition of her boyfriend's (Ray Davies) most excellent song, and then ghosting her.
beautiful collaboration!
love this version
the piano
LOVE!
A GREAT Ray Davies song.
Stunning and soooo cool!
Love it ♥

Pretty much blanks her as he's walking off.. I wonder if the comment about Justine ticked him off.
I cringed when she mentioned her name. Not the way to set a tone.
StormOneUK very likely :P
Sorry who is Justine? Ty ✌🏼

I think she just pissed off Damon

man... I was that old then too :(

This is so weird and I’m sorry but I just looked through your subscriptions and almost every single channel is one I watch! Lol

@@mollymollinaro7568 This was performed in 1995... nothing to do with Justine and him breaking up.
Molly Mollinaro absolutely nothing to do with that whatsoever Chrissie is well known for her flirty chat that’s what she meant by it
Generation in, generation out; and so it goes.

The Kinks version is the best,it's their song.End of.
Sia 's version is friggin' awesome even though I'm a huge Chrissie fan
Chuck Reed I agree. The only version I think is actually better than the original - and I'm a huge Kinks' fan.
Marion Maerz version is good as well. S maharba remix even better.
Fck I love this song
So beautiful. Damons playing did the job but didn't do the song or her vocal justice IMO!
Why would Chrissy Hines throw that brick right before that performance about Justine
What brick?🙃
They were still engaged in 1995
I didn't like it either...it was cheap..or corney...I'm not sure which word..but yeah she's fantastic and I didn't ask the same question ❓...but didn't really like it .lanyway it's the cutest song ...

Красиво
omg why didn't i find this before😢
Lmao he just leaves
Great performance, but the hug she went for at the end was soooo cringey. It was certainly bc the Justine comment
90s meets 80s
How stupid of her! She's lucky he didn't screw up the piano on her.
I don't think Damon likes her at all! As he walks off he's like WHATEVER! Get out of my face! Love you Damon xxx
He was dating Justine at that time.
You are so wrong. They are really good friends. He was very nervous. Thats all
If he hates her why he's ever there as special guest?!? 🙃🤷🏻😁😂
How has this stupid comment got 56 likes? I swear some of y’all see what you want to see.
I thought the same!😅
Asking about Justine. Really?
In 1995 when they were still engaged
Chrissie has the hots for Him, but He's coldly uninterested
he looked very sad, poor baby. she was an idiot in her comment
Nails down the blackboard
Has he changed it to major in the verses?
What did he say to her?
0:32 music starts
thanks! I always try to skip the part where she asks about Justine lol
Why did she make that cringing comment? Damon had probably rebuffed her, at least thats the rumour. Very silly of her to make the comment.
"And Justine is s till in America, isn't she?" hahahaha that was mean!
it's AlBARn not alBIn
For me she is the best vocal in the world but he has not any emotion
Many regards from Croatia
Damon's playing a little too fast ;)
anyroxtar for who ? you
Nope, is he?
It’s probably because she introduced him as Damon Albin
He wanted to pee
Eh...I love Damon, but he always acts like he's PMSing about something. Lol
that's not cat powers but chrissie hynde
Maybe its bc what she said about justine???
Mar Natural "Justine is still in America, isnt she?"
Полина Напольнова yes thats what everybody was asking....why damon had that attitude while he was performing the song...you can tell thats the reason!!!!
Can you tell me what year is this?
@@SofiaSaraMullnerova 1995, when he was still engaged with Justine
@@DebbieTDPENGAGED!!??
Yeah....that comment was shit. That's why he's pissed
Damon always egocentric , a damm freakie ... but this is a stage , a Pretenders concert , not a Blur or Gorillaz ... Cryssie is not a Gallagher's sister .
She made a joke about his ex, that's why he's so pissed off
They're both lovely, but this kinda sucks.
I love Damon but he was being an arsehole to Chrissie
No, she was being an arsehole to him
By asking, "Is justine still in america?" HE IS CLEARLY PISSED AT THIS
AND EVEN AT THE END WHEN SHE TRIES TO GIVE HIM A HUG HE ACTS LIKE HE DOESNT SEE HER AND WALKS OFF.
Damon is not like this at all. He is very polite
Great vocals, embarrassing chops. Lose the piano player!
Damon was pissed at her
That’s Damon albarn I like he’s plays perfectly
Beautiful.
Beautiful.
