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
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.
Two days before the official release of “The Nearer the Fountain…” Now I see the reason of this beautiful gift ❤️ Thanks Saint Damon for keep giving us reasons to live and to still adoring you.
May I humbly suggest Norah Jones's live tribute to Chris Cornell, Black Hole Sun. She is performing on the same stage Chris had played his last gig, five days prior to Norah's tribute.
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?

0:43 For those who have never noticed the whistling sound Albarn makes on any word containing the letter “S” This goes back to the EARLIEST of all his recordings and throughout his whole career 🙉
We developed this technique working together in the late 80s. I’m the Uk’s leading Whistling S voice coach. It helps if you have a gap between your front teeth. This gives maximum girth to the whistle.
@@DeeTeaDee Given that he's had a 30 year career as a vocalist, and he's now in his 50s, we can conclude that your complaint isn't an issue for his audience. Generally speaking, popular music fans are not pedants obsessed with vocal technique. Bob Dylan is another vocalist that you should check out. You'll love him.
knowing that damon was probably losing the woman he loved when playing this, it means a lot

Totally agree.

@@daisyrazorblubtasticfantab4903JC, he just covering a song.
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.
@@ianhiscock9440 Battery In Your Leg!
My GOD. I just stumbled upon this and its just so GOOD.
Damon should make more covers and release em on streaming, please Damon!!
Everything that Damon does is great. I love his voice. My favorite singer ❤
Love it, Damon is a genius.
Two days before the official release of “The Nearer the Fountain…” Now I see the reason of this beautiful gift ❤️ Thanks Saint Damon for keep giving us reasons to live and to still adoring you.
That is brilliant. Gives the song a different dimension on the piano 👌❤️
Damon singing in his sweet ragged melancholic voice… always makes me stop in my tracks ❤️❤️🎶
Nunca pensé que iba a necesitar tanto en mi vida este cover hasta que lo escuché
X2
What a beautiful cover, different and more tender!
This should be used for the next John Lewis Xmas advert 👌
I love DAMON ALBARN
I love his voice
Heard this so before but never listened to the words
It’s so endearing
I'm not one for covers when I enjoy the original so much and I may be biased here but this? This is so good.
May I humbly suggest Norah Jones's live tribute to Chris Cornell, Black Hole Sun. She is performing on the same stage Chris had played his last gig, five days prior to Norah's tribute.
Enchanting, I love it,takes me back 30 years to a simpler life, but with life experience now, makes me emotional
❤️
lmao I was not expecting this..great, this is one of my fav songs
Long live The League. Thanks Damon.
Oh wow. This version is so haunting and gives me chills. Simply beautiful x
Such a tender version
Proves hes a great singer
Always been fascinated with the one man, one guitar (piano), one song concept. A really tasteful cover this is!
Very beautiful ❤
The best song ever by the The Human League
A great performance of one of my favourite songs ever. Fantastic
What a great version, thanks Damon 😘🤗
Pretty haunting cover.
Damon..you did again. Magic 😎👍
WHAT. WHAT. This is just beyond gorgeous. Like it better than the original. Damon is so inspired these days. Him and his piano ❤️🔥
Fantastic cover, I love Damon's voice
No sabía que necesitaba esto en mi vida, esa canción ya es épica por si misma y a Damon le quedo muy bonito el cover, se escucha muy bonita su voz ♡
Wow.. super-duper rendition 🙏
it was one of my favorite songs,, 😍Thx Damon♡
Brilliant as always

So brave, so beautiful.
Great take on a classic
This is all I needed today. Tough day.
Tone and diction beautiful. Memories sublime. Thank you. X
It suits the haunting lyrical song much more!
this is sooooo beautiful . High vibration.
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!
Your voice... Magical cover!
I need an official release!!!
So f.....g lovely!
Just stumbled across this cover now...just sublime, Damon's vocals suit this soooo well! who's playing the piano on this?
I LOVE THIS
Amazing cover by an amazing man
beautiful !!!
this is AMAZING
Excelente reversión del tema!!
Love it , great tune ❤️👍

Covers should be the same but also unique
10/10 cover here
Love it. Wow.
Quality this 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I never knew I really needed this 😍🥰
Great voice
Thank you : )
Oh Lord I love that , since I heard it for the First time !!❤ I don't like the original Version, but that is gorgeous!!!!
Then, you're not a fan of the song. It's meant to be electronic pop. This is a good cover, but it's not played the way it was meant to be played.
@@JRStephens5005huh??? it’s just a different way to cover the song. they like this version, not the original
Awesome xx
🎉
Damon Albarn can do no wrong
...But don't forget, it's me who put you where you are now
And I can put you back down too...
WOOHOO!!! WHEN I FEEL HEAVY METAAAAALLLLLL!!!!! WOOHOO!!! :)
Unbelievably gorgeous 💙
Genius
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Ok guys, who´s gonna add this masterpiece to Spotify? I got you a pint
the new bowie
ahhhhh.........
Sweet endearing tune
Superb 🙌
Amazing
Wow ! Damon
Nice - up there with The Farm's version?
pretty good
💙💙💙💙
❤️
Like si escuchaste por primera vez este cover en programa noche de pánico
Lo escuchó desde los 80 en la versión original de human league. Aparte de eso... VAMO CARBONERO
😍😍😍
Brilliant!!!!
Better than the original.
I like this cover, seems like the sort of song Damon would hate though lol
Everyone likes Don’t You Want Me………
It's by one of his favorite bands!

💕👏👏👏
I believe Gorillaz's Silent Running was inspired by this song
Damon Days
Has Albarn been to Plastic Beach? Tuck procedures undermine messages about shallowness.
Is he playing the piano?
I think so
Only just discovered this. Prefer it to the original.
Damon loves imagination from the 80's, think he's collaborated with Lee John 😜🤣👍.
Leeeeee John
Chi è passato da qui grazie ad il Post?
Brrrrrr bug buny babi brrrrr
so true
Either 🤔😘
Is he trying to get on a Christmas advert?
P
J aime cet artiste mais il tape trop sur la coke il a du talent
Is it just me, or is his voice a bit ragged?
just you
It's raw and emotional. How this song should be sung .....
Smoker"s voice
OASIS
kick rocks
Sweet Jesus. No need mate. No need.
I hate this song by The Human League... Damon👋👋but why? 🤔💙🎶🎶✨✨🎅
