In my humble opinion, for me it is one of the best songs written by blur, perfect lyrics and melody...

My girlfriend passed away very suddenly a couple of weeks ago and I was on my own in a bar drinking...and this song came on, which I hadn't heard before. Blur were my favourite band as a child but hadn't listened to them in a years. Hearing an old familiar voice singing a beautiful song like this was so special, like an old friend reaching out to you when you need it the most.

This song is the ultimate grower. Was underwhelmed the first time I heard it and has just gradually got better and better. Absolutely love it now

Damon had so much success as a young man that his confidence, naturally, bordered on arrogance...seeing him transform back into humility over time, despite continued success, is perhaps the most satisfying of all the blur narratives...i rate this song so highly, it's brilliant

It’s fucking crazy how good they still are.

That song is an absolute masterpiece. I love it .

This track is an all time Blur classic

When this song was first released on Spotify, I was shocked to see Damon was recording new Blur tracks when I had been to a Gorillaz concert just a few months prior. Even more surprised when Blur released the next song. Triple blown away when seeing Blur was touring. Does Damon ever rest? His soul is so full of Divine frequency; constantly creating. This track is excellent. Thanks, Blur! ❤

One of, if not the, best Blur song. Thinking man’s pop.

The more I hear this song, the more I love it.

One of the best songs I've heard in decades.

I don't know why, but I love that Damon is playing one of Graham's signature Fender telecasters.

Who can believe after all these years this is the best stuff they have ever put out....

This song is class! Never been a huge blur fan. This song is genius 👏

My 3 yr old loves the chorus and sings along with me when i played this. My first love was Blur and 30 years later it seems he is following into his dads footsteps.

This isn't just a good song.....this is the best song I have heard in years and one of Blurs best!

Nothing makes me happier than these guys getting back together and having a blast.

I live in Argentina. I was stuck on traffic a couple of weeks ago. Scrolling apple music I found that Blur released a new record. I have listened to it many times, and has brought so much memories. Since then, I started to listen all Blur's records, every day. All that music was my companion through university and so much more. From the bottom of my heart, I love those guys. I'm so grateful for all the music they have managed to land in my heart and soul.

one of the best singles of 2023. just great. love from new york city.

It’s been a long long time I’ve listened to a song on repeat. It’s like it’s 95 again. Fantastic song. Damon sings it very well live.

Sometimes you hear a song for the very 1st time and instantly love it. This is one of them. Others from my memory that stand out are 'Smells like teen spirt' Nirvana, 'across the universe' beatles, 'Afterglow' the Small Faces, 'are we here ' Orbital, 'how soon is now" Smiths to name a few..All different yet all hit the spot. Brilliant.

Goosebumps every time. A perfect meditation on performance, devoid of the usual self-pity such songs usually contain. No, 'oh, woe is me," simply "here's what I've done, and here's what I've learned," without condescension or regret. It's as good a song as Blur's ever written, and it's certainly the best rock song I've heard so far in 2023. This record makes me happy.

Damon Albarn can always and forever get it. He intrigues me in every way and I just love him and all his talents. Bless be the band, Blur!

I have tears in my eyes to see Damon on the stage singing this song. It felt in that moment I've loved him since before I was born.

love this melancholic blur era

What a tune. An absolute metric fuck ton of heart.

so good to see a proper band......playing proper music.........just lovely...musicians....and song writers........making music.......with heart....and soul........just lovely...

Can’t say I know everything about Blur like I do Oasis, but this tune is up there. Can’t get enough of it. Catchy. Meaning. Guitars. It’s got it all.

I must have watched this 93 times so far. Superb. Blur are up there with the best ever.

This is so well mixed, wow. Amazing sound and performance all round!

Magic. A brilliant band that evolves, takes risks, loves performing together after all these year. They are beautiful. I adore them.

I thought this was catchy from the first listen but the more I hear it, the more moving the lyrics become too... Blur have still got it!

Best thing out there right now. The album is incredible.

This track is so personal to Damon. It kinda makes you feel like you're intruding on his private life. But, it's the best track this year so far, so you just have to listen, and again, and again ❤❤

Magic stuff, Blur never disappointed to the fans. ❤️

Just learned this song this morning. Love it.

They really hit the ground running with their comeback. It's like they were never away ❤

It is nice to see Blur return to top form - they can certainly can write and make a brilliant song - I was lucky to get a golden ticket for their Saturday night Wembley show - it was absolutely gorgeous - the energy in that stadium was a joy to behold.

The best song of 2023!

Still sounding great as always.

This is the song of the year.

Love Graham’s chiming guitar. Makes this song even better

Top track..quality never fades

Masterpiece! Oldy goldy Blur

What a proper rock tune

Best song of the 2020s so far, I reckon. One of few I put on repeat.

Definitely one of my favourite top 10 Blur songs. Like most Blur songs, it sounds so much better live.

New album out Friday !

I was there! Amazing evening!

Possibly one of their best songs now, love to see them still releasing hits like this one

Its defo got that 90s feel captured so well. Reminds me of The Strokes as well. Fantastic

When I'm in "the mood" this is one of my favourite songs ever by Blur and from any band in the last 20 years. Blur but middle-aged (in a very good way)

This rocks! Sounding better than ever! 🤘🤘🤘

These guys are sounding VERY VITAL. This song is an instant classic

What a song!!! Unreal that Damon is able to release 2 amazing albums the same year

Great song with lyrics that actually means something important.

I love them and I love their new album, every song is timeless, nostalgic and just beautiful - can't wait to see them play this tomorrow 😍

They’re just brill aren’t they!! May they never stop making and playing music…

My six year old daughter loves this song since the day she listened to it for the first time. She got hooked on it. It must be because of its perfection.

Absolutely brilliant. Can't get it out of my head.

This song is like Keys “If I ain’t got you” to my ears.I can listen to it in all versions any time of the day in any mood I am and enjoying it the same every time.

Ive just watched this on the box ,tv, song of the year ,wow

I keep coming back for this performance. You can even hear Damon's subtle crunch guitar parts too, especially with good headphones (it's panned a bit to the left).

What a comeback! Great tune

That is so Fugging good live.. Killed it

Song of the year. One of their best. The lyrics are just beautiful. Oh, glorious world, Oh, potent waves, valleys gone wild, Connect us to love, And keep us peaceful for a while.

They've still totally got it! 🔥🔥🔥

This song is really good

Been listening to this on repeat since it came out, guess I've found my favorite Blur song, live version is great!

Fantastic song and a testament to how good they are

Phenomenal song, one of their best. Makes me wish more than anything that it was 1995 again.

The song on the album I keep replaying, unbelievable writing.

one of their best. great song!!

I love this song, brilliant live performance

Damon and the gang do it again, another amazing album and this chorus wow 🤩

I've got a few personal highlights with this band. One was in 1991 when I studied in London and I saw them at the Venue in New Cross. Then in 1995 at Roskilde, post Parklife.

Holy shit this song crushes. So beautiful.

Brilliant song.

Honestly the first time I heard it on the radio I felt something was missing, but then every time I listened the deeper it got inside me. Now that I've seen them playing and felt their passion it definitely touched my heart. Thanks so much for your art, always. Abrazos desde Argentina

This Is the best Song of new album

the best song by blur

Brilliant song

Another absolute stoke of genius. Love it.

Its just absolutely class Been away for years and come bak with this 👌

Just a beautiful song....

I love oasis and blur. And that's why i'm the happiest man on earth

Great band, God bless them x

Great album. One of their best.

Its sooooo good to have the mighty Blur back with a new album 😀😀

처음에는 조금 심심한가 싶었는데 계속 들으니깐 진짜 너무 좋다 ㅜㅜ

Amazing. Not sure about the rest of the album yet, but this song is 10/10. Barbaric is the only other track that stood out on my first listen

Best song of the album and instant classic.

This feels like a U2 song. I can imagine Bono singing this with Edge doing those Graham back up vocals x

Live music at its best

It’s been fourteen years since I saw them for the first and so far only time in Hyde Park but I’d happily go see them again. His is a great, catchy song.

Beautiful song from a beautiful album. Overjoyed they're still around.

I was never into blur in the 90s but this song has made me an instant fan, over and over from the first listen. Probably on 50 replays now. Masterpiece 👍

Love this song. One of the best British bands and a band that defined the 90s. On another note, is Damon morphing into Graham or what lol

A song about a version of myself, of my age, of our dilemmas . Thank you Blur for such sharp vision
