i love his accent when he sings

the "lalalalaalalallas" make me really nostalgic and im not sure why

"Modern life, well it's rubbish. I'm holding on for tomorrow." Is my senior quote. I absolutely love that lyric so I'm happy that I get to treasure it forever.

I feel nostalgic for something that I never lived

I went to London and listened to this sitting on primrose hill, I always wanted to do that.

can we all just acknowledge that Damon is both in Blur and the Gorillaz, two of the best bands ever. this man is amazing

I could roll with damon for my whole life

i've always wondered who that girl was. not many people can say they rolled down a hill holding damon albarn lol

alex and graham flying kites like little kids gives me life tbh

Blur is such a hidden gem. More people need to listen to Blur

This song makes me feel nostalgic of the era i've never lived&been....

I am really jealous of the girl rolling down the hill with Damon.

I remember when the Modern Life IS Rubbish album came out I stole it on cassette from Sydenham Library and then I used to bunk off Sixth Form walking around the streets of South London listening to it on my Aiwa personal stereo. You'd hear this song and you just knew that this and songs like The Drowners and Animal Nitrate by Suede were the start of something that was going to be big, very big. For me, this is where the '90s *really* started.

For Tomorrow lyrics : He's a twentieth century boy With his hands on the rails Trying not to be sick again And holding on for tomorrow London ice cracks on a seamless line He's hanging on for dear life And so we hold each other tightly And hold on for tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl With her hands on the wheel Trying not to make you sick again Seeing what she can borrow London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes But we're lost on the West way So we hold each other tightly And we can wait until tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow We're trying not to be sick again And holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl Holding on for dear life And so we hold each other tightly And hold on for tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow Jim stops and gets out of the car Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on Turns it off and makes some tea Says modern life is rubbish I'm holding on for tomorrow Then Susan comes into the room She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile Says, 'let's take a drive to Primrose Hill It's windy there, and the view's so nice.' London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose You're holding on for tomorrow

For Tomorrow comes today

Most of the people I know have never heard of blur and have only heard of oasis Oasis are good but in my opinion blur are one of the best bands of the ninties

This song is extremely underrated

My anthem.. First time I heard it, I absolutely had to put it on loop for 5 hrs

I have never been so incredibly jealous in my entire life

My favourite Blur track. Every day I drive along the Westway and think of this song.

People who were teenagers when this song came out, I have a question for you. When I listen to this song I feel a sort of nostalgia, but I wasn't even born then. I can imagine you feel nostalgic as well when you hear this song today. I was wondering what you felt when you first heard this song when it came out. Did it already have a nostagic feeling to it because of how it sounds? Did you expect to feel nostalgia for that time? I think about this a lot because I am now 18 and I don't feel like I'm making memories that will feel good when I'm 40. I can't imagine me in 30 years being nostalgic about 2020.Same with the music, the songs that will be remembered as "the 2010's classics" don't mean a lot to me and they just remind me of the fact that I never really fit in with the rest of my generation. I wonder if that is a universal feeling of all times or if it is a modern thing or perhaps just me.

Wow what a band Blur were...Their 90s albums had no filler whatsoever, they're all packed with songs like this. That period from "Modern life is rubbish" in 1993 until "Blur" in 1997 was truly amazing.

Would love a 4k version of all these old videos.

exactly 26 years ago right now this song was being written, when damon stayed up all night on christmas eve/day at his parents’ home in colchester❤️

It's not fair, I want to roll down with Damon >:(

Who left Damon to float down the Thames?

I just realized all of the elderly people in the video are probably dead by now and that makes me sad

My dad says this is the first song Ilearnt, I was only 2 and singing the "lalala" part (in 1996). Blur will always be part of my upbringing, and they'll forever be the soundtrack of my life :)

The happiness of the people on this video makes me feel very happy and nostalgic at the same time

oh man peak damon albarn he is so damn fine in this video.

Still in love with Damon 30 years later xxx

Damon is so damn fine it should be illegal 💔

this song inspired me. it inspired me to try hard, strive to get a job, and do what I want to do. it's now my dream to go to Primrose Hill. thank you Blur.

This is the song that got me through covid. I lost my job, had to move, and I was still in college. Everything was just awful. Listening to this, and Sunday Sunday, just cheered me up, and kept me pushing to get everything back on track. And I am very glad that I did! Thank you blur.

who’s here after the 4K colour version

This is so melancholic to me, somehow.

"Modern Life Is Rubbish" was truly their best album, IMO

The sporadic key changes in this song are so genius you don't even notice them.

I literally want to live inside this song

I think the ending is adorable ^ ^

This whole song is such a covid vibe. We're all just holding on for tomorrow.

God I loved London so much back then. The pubs, clubs, the music, the football, the people, i could go on and on. I was lucky to be born and bred a south Londoner however moved out 12 years ago and very rarely go back, why?, because it's turned into a shit hole with no character or soul. Thanks for the memories it put a tear in my eye. 😢

I live in primrose hill and every time I go I try to recreate this video hahaha

i was in London for the first time a bit over a month ago. i went on top of primrose hill on a crisp and windy evening and listened to this song sat on a bench. it was the most peaceful moment i've ever had in my life...

This song has helped me through so much I honestly can’t explain it very well but when I’m stressed I play this song and forget about everything and just focus on everything about the song it’s so calming to me

There is something both beautiful and melancholy about this song, maybe more so if you grew up in London at this time. Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill, it's windy there - but the view's so nice

LYRICS He's a twentieth century boy With his hands on the rails Trying not to be sick again And holding on for tomorrow London ice cracks on a seamless line He's hanging on for dear life And so we hold each other tightly And hold on for tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl With her hands on the wheel Trying not to make you sick again Seeing what she can borrow London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes But we're lost on the West way So we hold each other tightly And we can wait until tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow We're trying not to be sick again And holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl Holding on for dear life And so we hold each other tightly And hold on for tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow Jim stops and gets out of the car Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on Turns it off and makes some tea Says modern life is rubbish I'm holding on for tomorrow Then Susan comes into the room She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile Says, 'let's take a drive to Primrose Hill It's windy there, and the view's so nice.' London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose You're holding on for tomorrow

I don't know what melts my heart more, Damon in the water or Damon rolling down a hill lmao ah, both are too damn cute!

You gotta love a bit of blur. Absolutely golden

this music video gives me serotonin

I'm sorry, but at 0:58 , i can't help but think that that woman looks like a female version of Dwight Shrute from The Office (U.S.)

this song is a classic; I fear I will still listen to it many decades after.

Watching this video almost 2 years later.. it still makes me cry. There's just something so nostalgic about it

Is it me or does anyone else hear a bit of Bowie in his voice?

I lived in London in the 90's. I miss those days !!!

My most favourite Blur song!!!!!!!! Anyone else ?

i love how damon is literally drowning in the middle of a lake while all the other members are just flying kites and chasing birds

I also want to roll down on the grass with Damon.😇💫

I wasn't born in the wrong generation I was born in the right family who basically made my life take place in the nineties (with exceptions to some modern things ) but I read somewhere that the 90s was a mindset and we can all still go back and be there if we want we just have to think like they would back then idk how to explain but I get the philosophy

two days ago I went to Primrose Hill, it is really windy and the view is still nice! Thank you Blur

So nostalgic about the 90s! No internet around… just MTV with its bright, acid colors. Videos like this made me fall in love with Brit music and Brit lads! I could relate to certain atmospheres and felt less lonely in my teenage days.

just found out from Coxon that this song was not part of the album. In fact, the record company made them write a "hit" cause the album was lacking one and thats how they came up with this timeless classic. What a band

I adore Blur. They did many, but this was their finest Album. I used to sit and listen to all their stuff on tapes on my Sony Walkman (remember them) in the mid 90's and was fascinated by their fantastic portrayals of English life and scenery. This is a Low and this are utter masterpieces in those regards.

my favourite blur song

this music video and song is so nostalgic to me idk why, humans are so beautiful in a way with everyone living their own little lives

"Goths still exist!?" - Graham Coxon from Starshaped

this music makes me so happy

How this song didn't crack the British top 10 baffles me. It's one of their best from an absolute great catalog.

Adoro ver este video y ver las sonrisas sinceras de las personas...videos que hoy en dia casi no se ven, es realmente grandioso.

Discovered all these cool Blur tunes that I never heard before. I bought their first cd when it came out but never followed up. This song…David Bowie-esque for sure.

That rolling over at the end ❤️

RIP London, I hope we get you back one day.

The final is amazing...

Graham at 3:12

もう21世紀になってしまったけどいまだにこの曲には共感するところがある

Happy Healthy 2021 Everyone 💛

What a lucky thing she is

4:01 step away doggie! step away!!!!

happy 30th anniversary

In my opinion this song is quintessential of brit pop and blur in particular

He's a twentieth century boy With his hands on the rails Trying not to be sick again And holding on for tomorrow London ice cracks on a seamless line He's hanging on for dear life And so we hold each other tightly And hold on for tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl With her hands on the wheel Trying not to make you sick again Seeing what she can borrow London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes But we're lost on the West way So we hold each other tightly And we can wait until tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow We're trying not to be sick again And holding on for tomorrow She's a twentieth century girl Holding on for dear life And so we hold each other tightly And hold on for tomorrow Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la Holding on for tomorrow Jim stops and gets out of the car Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on Turns it off and makes some tea Says modern life is rubbish I'm holding on for tomorrow Then Susan comes into the room She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile Says, 'let's take a drive to Primrose Hill It's windy there, and the view's so nice.' London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose You're holding on for tomorrow

This song almost made me fail a test because I couldn’t get it out of my head

I'm so glad that I got to see Blur live back in the 1990s. That concert is one of my top 5 shows I've seen. They were so good that night in Philadelphia.

When damon and the girl started to roll down that hill i thought they were gonna roll forever

Cuando los de Blur estában chavitos! Wuauh!! 😍😍

anyone else find it hilarious when damon gets stuck at 4:00 and has to do a cheeky push with his leg and then fucking kicks the dog

imagine rolling down a hill with Damon 🥺

Es verdadera arte lo que hace este hombre

God I cry every time I hear this song or wqtxh the video. How I love it! Genius song!

that girl is so lucky tbh

como amo esta canción, la mezcla de todos los sonidos es tan genial, no puedo dejar de escucharla

thought the dude at 1:53 was Jamie for a split second

mi mama me dijo que comente "que se recontra gusta" esta cancion ahre, ella habia escuchado blur antes en la radio pero solo las canciones mas comerciales y se sorprendio cuando le dije que era Blur

what a joy, the music video is now is colour

Still love this song , this album, now as i did then.

Uno de los cinco mejores temas de blur

First thing I ever heard of Blur and it knocked me off my feet. And damn right I´m talking about Graham´s guitar playing in particular.

Loved seeing old images of Portobello Market/Golborne Rd, a working class gem, before the soul was ripped out of it by the yuppies. Now it's a tourist trap filled with soulless shops and expensive bars.

I live for the part where Damon starts singing over the Las

Graham looks so cute in that jumper
