Does anyone else just get these memories of all the things you did, relationships you had, ups & downs, trials and tribulations when you listen to Damon sing on songs like this ? What an amazing life we have. I'm so grateful I'm only 25 and I can enjoy so much that's ahead of me. Times have been dark for me in recent years but the fleeting moments of happiness in time is what we live for. Every happy moment we have in this existence should be cherished so dearly. I've had an uneasy relationship with my dad in recent times. I'm gonna talk to my dad tomorrow hopefully it's a good day.

Despite being a very straight bloke, I'd happily give him a hug for this. The emotions Damon Albarn must've felt when he first wrote this song became very obvious in his face as he was performing it, and being able to keep them in check while delivering a great vocal performance is a sign of true talent. :-)

Must feel weird to get back to this song after more than 20 years. It´s probably not easy to re-create the feeling, out of which you used to sing this song, after such a long time. I bet, it must feel at times like this song was written by a completely different person. Pretty arrangement, though.
@amyharris73122 жыл бұрын
your comment is interesting....not being a song-writer, only a massive listener, songs are often time travel for me. I remember reading Alex saying when he heard this that the felt like Damon was so much more vulnerable and hurt than they had ever realized when he penned and performed this song, regarding the breakup. I hope I am not adding too much to what I read about this reaction of the band. what I hate is the constant posting of images of them from the time frame of the relationship. it has been 20 years as you point out. "it's over...." as he so poignantly sings.
@elwray35062 жыл бұрын
@@amyharris7312 Well, I clearly have no idea, how Damon looks back on these "stories of old", if he cares much at all. However, he has quite a big fanbase, old fans from back then as well as young people. I´m sure, it must feel awkward for a man of his age to have a lot of young ladies who could easily be his kids, swooning over him. lol. And heartbreak stories will always come out on top of the gossip hitparade, I guess and the JF story is on the net for everyone to see and get riled up over, if they wish so (something noone in the 90s had thought about;). He has to live with it, I guess. On a more personal note: I feel some sort of a connection to"No Distance Left To Run". Not too long after this song (and my favourite album "13") came out, I had a break-up myself. About the same time my own band started to fall apart, a bit like what happend with Blur. So, yeah...this song still hits home, if you know, what I mean. Cheers.
