      @@trunksstuff3112 The producers on this album WANTED them to sound like the stone roses, and this song is the culmination of there dislike toward the producers, the words "you've taken the fun out of everything" is referencer to them being forced to make music they didnt like too, there is an interview with graham were he explains this, believe its a BBC1 doco!

      I wouldn't say indie dance was dead in early '91 when this was recorded. The Roses had just gone into their 4 year hiatus, but other bands like the Mondays were still popular in 1991. Primal Scream didn't release Screamadelica until September, and that won the first Mercury prize.
      Nirvana dropped Teen Spirit in August though and that signalled the next big thing.

      It is quintessentially English, yes. As someone who was born in the UK, and then grew up all over the shop, it's in my blood stream. But then it's also quintessentially psychedelic, which I love, and so damned melodic and intense...and as for that guitar hook - godamned sublime!!!

      I'll be 58 on Tuesday. I came to Blur after a long obsession with XTC, The Dukes of the Stratosphere and Robyn Hitchcock. Then in the mid-2000's my teen came home with a Gorillaz album on vinyl, which I immediately loved. But it took me years to actually look at the cover and learn it's Damon's band...thus proving Mom is the last one to know 🤪

    This is bittersweet to me, because it was basically all of my Sundays when I was a girl. My dad went off to the pub, my sister shut herself in her room reading old copies of Match and thinking about Aston Villa, and my Mum and I prepared the Sunday dinner "always take the leaves off and cut a cross into the top of the Brussels sprouts Amy". I must have cut a thousand crosses. Then my Mum, who was a fantastic cook, would serve it up to my dad who sat at the head of the table like the big I am, he always had the best cut of meat and the crispiest roast potato whilst my mother (who worked full time and earned more than he did) served herself last. I used to sit there and think, this can't be right. Maybe that's why I am not married. Mum's been dead nearly ten years now, but I love her and miss her every day. Oh to be cutting Brussels sprouts and listening to Radio 2. I love you Mum x

      Not really a shuffle as that's triplet time - more a 16th note groove on the hi-hat with the snare on 2 and 4, plus some extra snare beats between 2 and 4. But I get what you mean - if I didn't know otherwise I'd swear it was The Charlatans. The Happy Mondays had a similar thing going on too, and The Stone Roses, and others.

      I was just wondering if the director of the 'Black Hole Sun' video was influenced by this video. This video puts a mysterious twist on an otherwise ordinary British Sunday lunch, while 'BHS' seems to follow in its footsteps but makes it more extreme, taking ordinary white picket fence-Americana and turning the weirdness up to 11.

    This is one of my favorite songs of the 90's. This is actually the first time I've ever seen the British promo video. I like it better with Damon acting all creepy at luncheon with the folks. I also love the ubiquitous "Beat of the 90's" ("Funky Drummer"-inspired) that BAD II, The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, The Charlatans (UK here in the US) and so many other groups used. And don't even get me started on that excellent, slinky guitar riff!

    • @RastaSaiyaman
      @RastaSaiyaman 4 года назад +5

      The ironic thing is that this song was one the band did NOT want to do. The record company gave them a Stone Roses album and went "Write some songs that sound like this!" and the guys went "Why, we're not that kind of band!" but because the record company had their paychecks, they gave it a go anyway.
      Those bitter lyrics are about the record company "Taking the fun out of everything!"

    You're taking the fun out of everything

    You're taking the fun out of everything

    There's no other way
    There's no other way
    All that you can do is watch them play
    You're taking the fun out of everything
    You're making it clear, when I don't want to think
    You're taking me up, when I don't want to go up anymore
    I'm just watching it all
    There's no other way
    There's no other way
    All that you can do is watch them play
    There's no other way
    There's no other way

    Definitely my favourite song by Blur! I love the Madchester type feel of this one with the breakbeats, hammond organs and funky guitar licks. I don't care if they had a similar style to the Stone Roses back then, they still wrote a cracking tune with this one.
    Much prefer this to Park Life or Country House, but then I was never a big fan of their brit-pop stuff anyway; maybe with the exception of Song 2. I always preferred the shoegaze and the Madchester styles of the early 90s.

      yep, agreed; with a series of those bands, there were a few absolute star turns such as this one by Blur, a couple by Inspiral carpets...for me, no bands that I know could do a whole five-star album... I love an intense dance mix that combines the very best of the best from a series of 90s bands. This particular number, in my humble though informed opinion is top-notch, independent, knowing, smart psychedelia...
