    I saw blur at Hyde Park in London and my best friend and my wife wanted to leave just before the end of the concert to beat the traffic and I said absolutely no way becauce The Universal is yet to be played. As soon as I said that the violins started playing for the beginning of this song and I got goosebumps. Utterly epic song

    ジャン・コクトーを思わせるシリアスでユニークな映像が好きです。もう私も60歳を過ぎて 懐かしくて見てます。私もとうとう人生の後半は河口湖のCountry Houseに移り住んで 好きな道を行きますので…彼らも同じなのだと知り嬉しいです。音楽と童話を創り出していきますね

    This video feels ageless. Hard to imagine this was 1995.
    edit: ageless meaning that the video has held up well since the 90s - especially in comparison to other videos of that era. it’s creative, impactful and the concept could be used today to the same effect.

    I don’t think a music video has ever matched a song as well as this one. Ever. It’s perfect in every way. Damon’s pantomime the set, the clockwork orange references. The song and the imagery just compliment each other so well. I am going to say it. It’s the best music video ever made.

    This is the next century
    Where the universal's free
    You can find it anywhere
    Yes, the future's been sold
    Every night we're gone
    And to karaoke songs
    How we like to sing along
    Though the words are wrong
    It really, really, really could happen
    Yes, it really, really, really could happen
    When the days, they seem to fall through you
    Well, just let them go
    No one here is alone
    Satellites in every home
    Yes, the universal's here, here for everyone
    Every paper that you read
    Says tomorrow's your lucky day
    Well, here's your lucky day
    It really, really, really could happen
    Yes, it really, really, really could happen
    If the days, they seem to fall through you
    Well, just let them go
    Well, it really, really, really could happen
    Yes, it really, really, really could happen

    Notice that Graham Coxon is barely in the video for The Universal.
    He wasn't in a good place at the time, didn't like the song and on the day of filming was several hours late. When he did turn up he told his colleagues he would be staying no longer than an hour.
    Most of the shots you see of Graham, it's not actually him.

    Yes, the future has been sold
    Every night we're gone
    And to karaoke songs
    How we like to sing a long
    Although the words are wrong
    It really, really, really could happen
    Yes, it really, really, really could happen
    When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
    No one here is alone, satellites in every home
    Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
    Every paper that you read
    Says tomorrow is your lucky day
    Well, here's your lucky day
    It really, really, really could happen
    Yes, it really, really, really could happen
    When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go
