    knowing that damon was probably losing the woman he loved when playing this, it means a lot

    I think this version emphasises the meaning of the original. Really sounds haunting about how the singer is obcessed over the success of his former love.

      Yeah obsession is haunting, especially for the one who ends the relationship and feels their life hugely inhibited within the relationship and also afterwards. If it is Damon that is obsessed then this is hoovering and you guys should learn a little about this kinda stuff. Obsession ultimately is not fun and I sympathise with the person who is being obsessed over, no matter how graceful the obsessee puts it

    I always loved Blur’s melancholy songs rather than the ‘Parklife’ ones. There’s something haunting about Damon’s voice.

      Spot on. This Is A Low, The Universal, No Distance Left To Run, and To The End are my favourite Blur songs. Nostalgia, wistfulness, and a touch of melancholy play to his melodic strengths brilliantly.

    This is lovely. Can’t mistake Damon’s whispering voice with that distinct ‘whistle’ he has. I love Blur - but I’m more into The Great Escape than Parklife. I hadn’t even considered an acoustic version of ‘Don’t You want me’ and it’s breathed a new life into an otherwise tired original. Still a great great song though!

    You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
    When I met you
    I picked you out, I shook you up
    And turned you around
    Turned you into someone new
    Now five years later on you've got the world at your feet
    Success has been so easy for you
    But don't forget it's me who put you where you are now
    And I can put you back down too.
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
    It's much too late to find
    When you think you've changed your mind
    You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
    That much is true
    But even then I knew I'd find a much better place
    Either with or without you
    The five years we have had have been such good at times
    I still love you
    But now I think it's time I lived my life on my own
    I guess it's just what I must do
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I can't believe it when I hear that you won't see me
    Don't. Don't you want me?
    You know I don't believe you when you say that you don't need me
    It's much too late find
    When you think you've changed your mind
    You'd better change it back or we will both be sorry
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
    Don't you want me, baby?
    Don't you want me? Oh!
