  • @blurkid33
    @blurkid33 2 года назад +57

    This song, like the album it is from, is actually quite cynical, rather than optimistic. “The Universal” is a Prozac-like drug of a dystopian future where everyone is numb and complacent. The odd time signature comes from the fact that this was originally written as a reggae song before being completely overhauled during the recording sessions.

  • @charliecosta3971
    @charliecosta3971 2 года назад +6

    Damon Was classically trained, you can hear the influence in many of his songs he wrote.
    Glastonbury the biggest and most important music festival in the World and the biggest compliment you can give Blur is they headlined it 3x, no one else has ever and it 2014 they played there for a fourth time.
    People from all over the globe travel for this, this is where Blur conquer Oasis, they was only ever big in the UK. Blurs Album Parklife topped Japan's number 1 chart for over a year too.
    Oasis make some cracking tunes but they are not versatile the same way Blur are.
    It's really hard to label Blurs genre but they have been going from the late 80s and still releasing music currently. Under the westway is a banger, I believe that was the last single they released.
    Beetlebum is another great track about Damons Ex Girlfriend Justine Frischmann, from the band Elastica, who was addicted to Heroin.
    Please react to Blur vrs Oasis Britpop era. It's absolutely funny.

      It's very much a syncopated drumming sequence, almost acting as a counterpoint to the main theme. It's very clever, but would be ne'er impossible to dance to well. Cole Porter was very good at introducing this rhythm into popular music.
