About Blur:
Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Five successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.
Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Magic Whip (2015), started life in Hong Kong when the band had an unexpected break in touring in May 2013.

*"City dweller, sucessful fella"* still is one of the most iconic opening lines to this day
*true*
i dont see anything that remarkable about it
@@kruggyy
I love it
No it's not
@@user-kl4bh4lq6ryes it is
I can't stop saying "City Dwellah, Successful Fellah" please someone put a stop to this hell
same here haha
I'm only here because i got recommended a video called 'city dwella successful fella for 30 seconds' 😂
@@christina_890 That video is also why I can't stop saying it.
Same
same, and also for that fantastic video, I cant scapeeee
“If you weren’t around in the 90s and want to know, in 3 minutes, what the 90s was, where it went, and the exact moment it went wrong, I’d recommend watching the music video for Blur’s Country House.” - Richard Osman
Ha!! Thats exactly what brought me here today! I realised watching this, despite living my teens and twenty's through the 90s... this was actually the first time I had watched this video! Still a great tune!
That’s what brought me here 👍 But now I’m confused as to interpret both the video and the remark 🤷🏻♂️
@@MaartenHartog Take is easy, everyone, this just a social satire and commentary on something that's as old as s**t
@@NorolloAh thanks, wasn’t sure whether they took themselves seriously or, as you state, this was intended as satire 😅
@@MaartenHartog Pardon me if I'm wrong but I've seen most fellows seem to be misunderstanding the meaning of music while we could, here in this song, easily see a doctor, a scientist, a businessman, etc., out for having fun at farms. Kindly tell me what you mean by "whether they took themselves seriously". :)
Being a teen from England during mid 90s must have been something wonderful
It was! I was a teen back then.
Joe Guest❤
T’was
It was. no phones. No bullshit. Folk being creative in a far better way than craving likes 👍
Ps I’m Scottish and it was just as good anywhere
young Damon's melancholic innocence and cheerfulness (that you don't see that much these days) is so damn refreshing and loveable
that nigga old now hes emotions are on line
we all get old 'nigga' .. you need to grow up a bit. Hes 48 now!
Jériss DuFond totally agreed
sometime he still "crazy"
um have u fuckin SEEN damon now he's so fucn cute
"I'm a professional cynic but my hearts not in it"
I always thought it was singer
I thought it's sinner.
It is Cynic
'Ee's reading Rousseau knocking back Ouzo.
i don't get it lol
I can't believe he's as old as my parents
What is time
I know, watching the 90s blur videos and then seeing the band today just makes me feel like life goes so fast and we're just here like a puff of smoke.
There is not age for good music!
@@antonioortiz4111 Matt Lucas still looks the same though😂
@@sebastianharrison5575 Good Lord does he!!!! Totally agree. I imagine he looked like that at birth and just got bigger.
"He's got Morning Glory and life's a different story."
I see what they did there.
Exaclety, bad spelling, me too!
This Single came out before Morning Glory
Rhymed it with Jackanory
@@happymonkeycircle3838 ye but this single went vs the morning glory single in the charts
@@loogibros9350 no it was released at the same time as Roll with it. The Oasis album WTSMG was inspired by this line
2:19 is going Bohemian Rhapsody on us.
I noticed that too, lol
ChronoShenron I totally forgot that reference, but tought it was from the beatles on that Hello, Goodbye video
ChronoShenron ii
that's what i was thinking, haha.
I also noticed that you can compare the swirl effect to the one in the promo video for Lazy Sunday by the Small Faces
I don't care if the band hates this song
I don't care if most Blur fans find its lyrics weak
I don't care if this is too British that most people from the States wouldn't get it
This song is amazing!
Love the lyrics (which is dark in some part), love the guitar, love the bass, love the trumps, love the drum and love the production.
All because this was one of the songs that introduced me to Blur ♥️
Cheers from the heart of South America 🙌🏻
South America too here 😁 🙋🏻♀️
Sudamérica presente jejeje
I always loved this song and wish it had gone further here in the 'states. It has kind of a Beatles vibe and the chord changes remind me of a number of songs from the mid to late 1960s, particularly, Zoot Money's "Big Time Operator", which also slipped through the cracks in the USA.
Absolutely, what other song would rhyme Balzac with Prozac. I'm here for it
I am an Aussie and I get it!!!!!
I can’t tell if I want to be with Damon or if I just want to be him
The bisexual struggle
My crush but also my transition goal
My thoughts exactly
Ha ha ha, same
YO
i wonder why people don’t like this song compared to other blur songs, it has a good melody and it’s very catchy
Its the best blur song
@@tgffggcvbvvbbb7904 commercially it is, but blur has so many styles and songs that there's something for everyone :)
my top 5 Blur songs
Who doesn't like this song
Its because the song itself was overshadowed by all the Blur/Oasis nonsense
You gotta roll with it, you gotta... oh wrong video
that almost killed me haha
JAJAJA
***** you mean Blur > Oasis yeah?
***** stop crying your heart out ;)
_Still_ Blur v. Oasis in 2016?? Don't look back in anger! (you heard me say)
I love Blur, all their songs are so catchy! Damon is also really hot like holy fuck. Was and still is.
ikr
Damon is pure talent

So the story begins
City dweller, successful fella
Thought to himself "Oops, I've got a lot of money (I got money)
Caught in a rat race, terminally
I'm a professional cynic but my heart's not in it
I'm paying the price of living life at the limit
Caught up in the century's anxiety"
Yes, it preys on him (it preys on him)
He's getting thin (getting thin)
Try the simple life
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country
He takes all manner of pills and piles up analyst bills in the country
Oh, it's like an animal farm, lots of rural charm in the country
He's got morning glory and life's a different story
Everything's going jackanory (jackanory)
Touched with his own mortality
He's reading Balzac, knocking back Prozac
It's a helping hand that makes you feel wonderfully bland (close your eyes, yeah)
Oh, it's the century's remedy
For the faint at heart (faint at heart)
A brand-new start (new start)
Try the simple life
He lives in a house, a very big house in the country
He's got a fog in his chest, so he needs a lot of rest in the country
He doesn't drink, smoke, laugh, takes herbal baths in the country
But you'll come to no harm on the animal farm in the country
In the country
In the country
In the country
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why?
Blow, blow me out, I am so sad, I don't know why?
Oh, he lives in a house, a very big house in the country
Watching afternoon repeats and the food he eats in the country

La, la, la, la
I wanna be

This song instantly takes you back. 90's was such a good decade for music
They were good,but the 80's was better.
Amen 😭

As a Canadian with Brit g-parents I can relate
“I’m a professional cynic but my hearts not in it; I’m paying the price for living life at the limit”
That shit just speaks to my soul for some reason
"He's got morning glory, life's a different story" Damon poking a bit of fun as Oasis I love it.
+Alexa Drake interestingly enough, this song was written long before Oasis started work on that album. So perhaps Oasis nicked it from Blur, which wouldn't surprise me.
+InRainbows1 I'm not sure about this. "Country House" was against "Roll With it" in the Clash between them. And Roll With It is from (What's the story) Morning Glory. No it wasn't written Loooong ago before Country House, am I wrong? :)
écureuilfou not long before, but before nonetheless.
+Alex He said it had nothing to do with Oasis.
Country House was released months before Morning Glory will be published.
Country House: 14 August 1995
(What's the Story) Morning Glory?: 2 October 1995
my mom: "hey gorillaz kinda reminds me of this old band called blur"
me: oh jolly *I WONDER WHY*
Esta canción me encanta, y me pone feliz.
Qué buen tema.
I was today years old when I discovered this. I have been listening to Blur since 1994.
Ha haXX
@Oliver Fresh GAMING Same singer, that's why. But the music is very different...
I love this song and the part that makes a reference to Queen's bohemian rhapsody video is great!!! 2:19
But the harmonies sound like the Beatles
Richard osman brought my here
why oh why does 90's fashion still look so good? or am i just stuck in the 90s eternally? Just glad to be a part of the scene back then, we had good times and we had amazing times, music was fun and sounded so full of life, and people were generally much nicer back then too.
It’s coming back!!
Yes it was a great time. Now we have utter bollox and not much more than. 👍😂😂😂😂😒
What's 90's fashion here? They're wearing retro stuff.
@@jackjude yeah your right, it is retro, of course, its 25 years ago almost =)
@@AlexandraStarr1974 Adidas Gazelles and those tracksuit tops are 70's - Britpop celebrated/idolised past decades (like yourself) But retro indie fashion had been around before than, with bands like The Smiths.
"blow me out I am so sad I don't know why..." always gives me chills!
one of the greatest things about this song is that on the outside it seems so sunny and carefree but on the inside it actually has some really dark undertones...
It really does, about how we're medicated, zombified through life, striving for something that'll never be
Exactly! That's Blur for ya :'D
I know, I cannot listen to it too often… makes me sad!
Happy 25 years, The Great Escape!
Esta es la 105 vez que lo escucho y me sigue gustando como la primera vez
Estamos en la misma situación xd
Yo la 1500 y me sigue Gustando 😁🇲🇽
No es que nos guste una vez será infinidad de veces
Demasiado buena esta banda, la verdad es que muy poco había escuchado de ellos y me enteré de su existencia por oasis por el tema de que tenían una rivalidad y claro oasis me parecía mejor banda pero es que Blur tiene temas que son increíbles, este es uno de ellos… creo que con oasis nunca me enganche tanto con una canción de la manera que me engancho esta de Blur.

This is one of the greatest songs ever. I loved it when I was a kid because of the fun melody and now I still love it because of the melodies AND the super clever lyrics. Some songs just stay with me and this is one of them.
***** Actually we loved saying "super" in the 90s. At least in Germany, where I'm coming from.
@@ExplodingVoids I love that you said it. One of the greatest songs ever it is very much to me too.
😢😢 una j un nhbbhb
It's 2022 and I didn't know that Jo Guest was in this music video? One of the most beautiful women of ALL TIME !!!
Graham was not wanting to be in this video as he was dating a fairly conservative girl at the time and didn’t agree with the sexist Benny hill vibe it ended up becoming. Still great video for a laugh and it did cement blur as the kings in the whole blur vs oasis single battle. Great times. Great days. God I miss them
Like the brunette more. Love yellow😉😉
Jo Guest was just dreamy.
Matt Lucas is the one for me
Released 25 year's ago today,and that battle began
This song is sooooooo 90's. Everytime I listening to it reminds me of those times.
Bcs it is from the 90s
Oh lolly I WONDER WHY
As a teenager in the 90's, the lass in the yellow was always my favourite in this video. As an ageing 41 year old, she still is.
Vanessa Upton.
Ha ha snap.
Absolutely. Phenomenal looking girl
The lass!!! Haha, like english speaking people still use that word. Haven't heard it since I moved from Ireland 2 years ago.
@@martinperlstam9389 we do..
I searched up “that one song that goes city dwella successful fella” and this came up
Estoy repasando/descubriendo la obra de Blur a horas de verlos por primera vez en el Primavera Sound 2023 Buenos Aires: no puede ser tanta hermosura tan legendaria y noventosa por el amor de dios no puedo parar de tener pieldegallina y lloriquear con estos muchachos, diossanto que banda por dios. Cómovoyallorar este domingo.
Bien pibe 👍
Esto es música. Abri tu oido y veras también las raíces de Blur y asi como también yo te recomiendo obviamente a Los Beatles a The Who a Led Zeppelin a Queen a Duran Duran. Buena Música 🇬🇧🍏👍 olvídense del Reaggeton y la Cumbia Villera eso no conduce a nada bueno.
🇦🇷🤝🇬🇧👍
I like how they called this "pop" music when it came out....compared to todays pop music this is artistic goodness!
Compared to today's pop this is hard rock
pop is just popular music.
Your parents said that about blur 20 years ago. It's just a product of your age mate
Not all pop is rubbish. This is an example of how simple and awesome pop music can be.
the term "britpop" was supposed to be a cynical jab at pop and british music, like "this is what constitutes pop in tea-and-crumpets land"
I was a hardcore Oasis fan and will always love them cuz they got me into rock. But growing up I came to understand & appreciate the fact that Blur's artistic creativity, music quality and maturity exceeds that of Oasis by miles. Oasis were innit for money ever since BHN, but Blur were always honest (almost). I'm from India.
This song is extremely underrated.
Damon was soooo dreamy...
Who else thinks the lyrics "He's got mourning glory, but that's a different story" is a dig at Oasis?
Nobody as it's actually "Life's a different story."
its not life's a different story.
It actually is, listen closely.
this was released the same day as oasis released mornig glory aimed and Liam and not noel
David Wilson I thought this was released as a single the same day as Roll With It? Correct me if I'm wrong
Style of Blur is perfect. Their songs make me feel happy!
Geiler Song👍
I did an apprenticeship in the 90s and half the blokes in the hanger would be singing this all day long. 🙂🇦🇺
One of my favourite bands ever
2:35 pedazo de homenaje a Queen.
Never realised until now Matt Lucas was in this
+Tony “Grefix” David No way...
+Tony “Grefix” David --- think as tweedle dee or twiddle dum? LOL
2024 anyone?
ye
yep
Pip pip
Yep. Kx
Every year
There is a timeless charm to Britpop in this era, the songs define what it feels like to be in England. So even if it isn’t the most brilliant material ever made the vibe is so familiar like something you didn’t know that you were waiting for.
2:19 blurhemian rhapsody
I'm happy to see how handsome Damon was, and still is.
Gotta love that Blur pulled a Bohemian Rhapsody
I first listened to this song after starting my first job, and everytime I hear it it brings me back to some of the most changing times in my life
2:20 bohemian rhapsody blur versión 😊
Blurhemian rhapsody
You gotta roll with it
Tyler you gotta take your time XD
Ashley Bouvier You gotta day what you say
Young Damon damn gorgeous.. so much childhood memories back then! I’m addicted to music video, can’t just listen to songs alone
I love the “Jackanorry!” in the backing vocals
I cant understand why the whole Blur vs Oasis is still going on 20 years later. In hindsight both bands were amazing and infinitely better than all the shit thats on the radio nowadays.
yup
You are right all this Oasis vs Blur is motherfucking bullshit 😡😡😡😡😡😡
Kaben Yeah but Blur were better, they had a much better range musically and Graham Coxon must be the most underrated guitarist of our generation! I do love Oasis though!
Yeah we were being spoiled and didn't even know it.2 great bands Oasis being the better mind u lol
This man......... he speaks the truth
0:27 wow who knew that Damon invented the Say So tiktok dance!
i'm still listening to their song til now.. they got sentimental value..
I remember when this came out. Loved the album then and still love it. Need music like this again.
"I am so sad, I don't know why" I really like that part.
UNA DE MIS CANCIONES FAVORITAS DE LA HISTORIA. La amo, me refresca y me hace feliz escucharla.
This is actually what the 90s were like all the time.
Will always remain my favourite song of all time!!
Good ol 90s, when every song was a big hit
roll with it by oasis
Good ol' nostalgia, where everything in the past was better because we don't look back on the bad parts.
Oscy The ratio of Good/Bad was better, in the 90's.
John S If you were born 10 or 20 years earlier, you would've thought the 90s was about as horrible as the music today.
That's completely untrue.
Besides, I was only a child, during the 90's. So, you can't tell me I only like music from the 90's because of "Nostalgia".
I like music from that period, because it's fucking good.
This song will never get old.
After 26 years- multiple listening, 10,000 hash pipes and general seasoning of life through time- this band was the Kinks of the 1990's.
i love blur they are very very underrated
I really enjoyed the 90s. A good decade for pop music!
LYRICS:
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I'm gonna take me away and hide
I'm thinking of things that I just can't abide
I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let any fucker get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
I know the roads down which your life will drive
I find the key that lets you slip inside
Kiss the girl, she's not behind the door
But you know I think I recognize your face
But I've never seen you before
You gotta roll with it
You gotta take your time
You gotta say what you say
Don't let anybody get in your way
'Cause it's all too much for me to take
Don't ever stand aside
Don't ever be denied
You wanna be who you'd be
If you're coming with me
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
I think I've got a feeling I've lost inside
Euanb That’s the joke
These lyrics are wrong this is clearly the woohoo song what is wrong with you
I read this 3 times confused
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA oasis siendo genial
brutally 😂
I remember I was 8 when this song came out...such a catchy melody, that till nowadays it returns me instantlly back into childhood
I’m here because Liam tweeted this song.
So am I xx
It's a nice song probably my favorite blur song
I like Blur. I like Oasis. I like the Verve. Also Travis. All these bands were a breath of fresh air.
Oh my god blur and travis love em
Same, it's not worth making a war about it
Blur adelantado a su época.... tiene muy buen ritmo y la energía que transmitían sus videos eran bonitos
Great days to be young. Thanks for the memories lads.
This is one of my best songs , good memories!
Not heard this in years, class tune from back in the day
Bands that make me smile; BLUR, OASIS and THE BLUE COLLARS. Real music is still out there.
2021 sat in a hot tub listening to this and many other classics at 19 with family ❤️ nothing beats it.

One of my favorites alternative rock songs of the 90s.
the lyrics are brilliant and the tune perfect
Reminds me of the battle of the bands. It made headline news on the BBC news bulletins. Truly an amazing time to be alive
¡Clásico por siempre! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My favorite band for ever!!!
Recuerdo que compré el casette NOW II en 1996 y ahí estaba esta canción, y aunque no entendía la letra, escuchaba el tema hasta el cansancio. Qué época los 90's.

okay but look at Alex at 2:22 😂

The riff gets me every time
I'm listening to this at work, and the person sitting at the desk next to me is blaring Oasis out loud...
Did you throw his stereo out of the window?
***** finally anther blur fan who doesn't think oasis fan should be thrown out a fucking window was begin to think i was the only one
well in fact is this was a bigger hit than Wonderwall in 1995. but i love them both.
naverra In UK maybe, but Country house is not that famous outside UK, actually in 95 I knew Wonderwall and didn't even hear about country house. (Czech Republic here :p )
billy green I love Blur and I think Oasis is a good band aside from the lead singer's voice... I can't stand it.
I'm Colombian and I discovered this song in vh1 when I was little, so I sang it without even knowing english and my mom was like, why is she singing to that video of girls and pigs? 😂
Blur is the best, greatest memories of growing up!

0:26 that, he does that. I LOVE THAT.
An excellent track by Blur.
