    Passed Alex James in the street the other day. Told him that night was one of the best nights I'd ever had. He smiled and said, "Cheers".

      I think he sums up optimism and melancholy all in one song, which is the state human life. Crying doesn't have to be sad, it can be for happy.

    Never been a massive Blur fan and I'm not a Londoner (though I do love the place) yet I find this beautiful song strangely and intensely moving. It plays a very Beatleesque trick in as much as the sentiment and meaning is largely conveyed by the melody and arrangement not by the lyric. In saying that, the drop out at the end when he sings "Hallelujah" has had me in tears this afternoon. Stunning!

    • @Hamsterjovialkillsyou
      @Hamsterjovialkillsyou 9 лет назад +1

      I guess you mean A whiter shade of Pale ?
      Yeah, like many other classical composers, Bach inspired some pop bands in the 60's. And that's why Procol Harum is said to be a ''baroque pop band'' :) And btw, what you can't understand is not necessarily ''ludicrous''. Please don't be a hater, I like both songs, I love Blur and Procol Harum !

    • @Hamsterjovialkillsyou
      @Hamsterjovialkillsyou 9 лет назад

      It's very surrealistic that's all ! I can understand that you don't like surrealism, but it isn't stupid :) I don't like hiphop lyrics, they mean less than everything for me.. but I don't say it's stupid..

    There were blue skies in my city today
    Everything was sinking
    Said snow would come on Sunday
    The old school was due and the traffic grew
    Upon the Westway
    Where I stood watching comets lonesome trails
    Shining up above me the jet fuel it fell
    Down to earth where the money always comes first
    And the sirens sing
    Bring us the day they switch off the machines
    'Cause men in yellow jackets putting adverts inside my dreams
    An automated song and the whole world gone
    Fallen under the spell of the distance between us when we communicate
    Still picking up shortwave
    Somewhere they're out in space
    It depends how you're wired when the night's on fire
    Under the Westway
    Now it's magic arrows hitting the bull
    Doing one eighty still standing at last call
    When the flags coming down
    And the Last Post sounds
    Just like a love song
    For the way I feel about you
    Paradise not lost it's in you
    On a permanent basis I apologize
    But I am going to sing
    Hallelujah
    Sing it out loud and sing it to you
    Am I lost out at sea
    'Til a tide wash me up off the Westway

    I dont like to use the term "epic", because when it is overused, lost its power.
    But this is, IMO, a truly "epic" moment of the music.
    My love and best wishes to Graham, Damon, Dave & Alex.
