Damon Albarn is musically in another class, Britpop was a moment before he really then diversified and then spread his wings. He is a genius and many of his pieces are timeless

I feel like Blur was ahead of their time during the Brit-pop era.

Blur's magnus opus. A beautiful love letter to Britain.

I love that damon is a fantastic pianist and a good guitar player, but all throughout blur, he just sang. He's the mastermind behind that band, and Graham was the perfect partner in crime. What a fucking great band. As an American... that Brit pop band changed my life. Literally. (and supergrass, Pulp, etc etc... that was a magical time).

this song was already pretty sad to me but now I’m balling my eyes out, such a beautiful version of this song, love you Damon!

Aw. The piano solo.... the world stopped for 30 seconds right there

Almost forgot how beautiful this song is. Damon is no doubt the most underrated artiste of all time.

Stunning arrangement. I feel so nostalgic for the mid-90s - even though I was in an unhappy relationship. I was in my mid 20s and had no idea who I really was.

One of the greatest songs ever written. Some kid.

In times past, it was a common phenomenon, when insomnia would strike, to turn in the shipping forecast and be lulled to sleep by the calm, reassuring voices predicting time and tide and temperature. When your nation is a tiny northern island, such things are important.

How can someone make such a moving song about the weather forecast… ❤

goosebumps. he rarely disappoints.

God his voice is just so beautiful

Best song about the shipping forecast ever!

So cute how he looks up to Jimmy in the beginning.

Ok, i never comment on these threads...but this is one of the most moving arrangements of a previous stand out song. The original version of This is a Low was so sweeping, but this is so simple and even more powerful....amazing

Best Blur song, beautiful

It's a good test of a song - how it stands up to different treatments. And this one stands up very well indeed.

Man, this is something else! 😦

This is good version, so emotional 👏

Whoever puts a thumbs down to this is song has no soul. So beautiful.

Brilliant! Definitely my favorite Blur tune, well most days.

This is one of the best songs in the world, which is underrated as hell and very good composed. Wish I lived in the 90s, Now there's pigs pretending to show us that they make music.

This is one of my favorite tunes of all times. This version is simply inspiring.

Probably my favourite blur song, it brings me such a nostalgic rush 💚😢

Beautiful, so beautiful... my favourite version. (This man is a genius).

Imagine Damon Alburn and Thom yorke collaborating.

Tomorrow is now..a beautifully haunting song, the piano break is sublime and other worldly ❤

Wow.. never heard this song. It’s amazing 😍 and emotional

beautiful beautiful beautiful.

In the top 10 songs of all time

Magically haunting and beautiful .

Beautiful

Blurs best song by a mile

Qué linda versión. :')

The song is not the same without Grahams brilliant guitar work. Probably one of his best guitar solos. It captures so much emotion.

Like this but prefer album version with Graham Coxons guitaring

Wow... that was so beautiful.

Just beautiful.

Love this song so much 🥺🥰

Que sensação de PAZ maravilhosa. Voz espectacular. I love you Damon. 😘🙏🏻

Goosebumps

me encanta este tema grande Albarn

Stunning ❤

Cette chanson me rend dingue...

his masterpiece. an english sonnet.

Perfection exists

Una canción hermosamente triste

Can someone put this on spotify please, it's beautiful

Whilst Oasis morphed into Status Quo, the class of Blur has stood the test of time.

There's me thinking the solo how, then played so beautifully on the piano, it even almost threatened to fall to bits for a minute, like coxons guitar :)

Awesome!

Que hermoso Damon❤ lo amo 😢

I'm crying currently

Que linda versión 😘👏👏👏

I know it's been said before but this reminds me of early Bowie, especially now his voice has matured. Excellent toon though innit 👍

毎日聴いてるよ♡　from Japan

Damon :'333 ❤️

BEAU-TI-FUL

/ This is a Low / And into the sea Goes pretty England and me Around the bay of Biscay And back for tea Hit traffic on the dogger bank Up the Thames to find a taxi rank Sail on by with the tide And go to sleep And the radio says This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo Up the Tyne, Forth and Cramity There's a low in the high forties Saturday's locked away on the pier Not fast enough, dear And on the malin head Blackpool looks blue and red And the queen, she's gone round the bend Jumped off Land's End And the radio says This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you This is a low But it won't hurt you When you're alone It will be there with you Finding ways to stay solo

WOW!!

its f*cking beauty

haunting version

💝

For Blur lovers I invite you to listen to my piano cover of This is a Low, simpler than other versions around here, but I think it sounds good, simply because of the beauty of the song (melody and chords), not because I am a piano virtuoso.

And now the a Shipping Forecast from the Met Office...

when tosin abasin is playing the bass for damon albarn...tsorry, they need to eat.

3:05

But it won’t hurt you..

promociona su nuevo album solista... procede a tocar una cancion de hace 20 años

This song is all a blur to me

Pharrell Williams al bajo?

Damon albarn On Jimmy Fallon? Damnit Albarn get on Jimmy Kimmel

Not fast enough dear!

What I love and hate about damon albarn is right here. I mean why is that guitarist just stood there?

I like to imagine if Layne Staley still lived to this day, he would look like Damon here. One survived the H, while one didn't.

Is that Pharell on guitar?

I'll probably take some flack for sharing my honest opinion, but? To me Blurs music is like Jeckyl & Hyde. They have several brilliant songs, (this is definitely one of them) that leave me in awe of their brilliance. But then they also have quite a few tracks that are unlistenable and leave me wondering how such rubbish could come from such a talented song writer/band, and how could they ever believe that it was worthy of recording and releasing? I'm just glad that when I was introduced to Blur/Albarn, I bought "Modern Life is Rubbish" & "Park Life" and I listened to them in their entirety. So I discovered the Brilliant Tracks, along with the less than Brilliant, Unlistenable Tracks, to put it nicely, because I could conceive of someone without patience and a proper introduction to both tyoes, coming to a negative conclusion and never getting to experience Blur/Albarns Genius, and that would be quite unfortunate! It's my personal *opinion*, based upon what is an extremely subjective criteria....musical tastes...that Blur has 11 Tracks that I include upon my list of all-time favorite Tracks. That is a huge number, and they (Blur) are 1 of only 13 Artists/Bands that have a double digit [>9], number of Tracks upon this list. To me, it seems like Blurs body of work can be placed in 1 of only 2 types/grades of songs. Type 1 are the Amazingly Brilliant Tracks, and Type 2 are the antithesis of the Type 1 Tracks, the nearly unlistenable, complete assault on my hearing type of absolute rubbish sounding tracks. 2 extremes at both ends of the proverbial spectrum of sound, with nothing that I've yet heard, in between the two.
