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.

This has got to be one of the best songs ever made
Definitely in the top one

You won't get an argument from me on this!
Absolutely
Agreed! It’s sublime 🥰❤️👌🏻
Late to the party here - 65 year old Yank who somehow missed the fact that Blur was one of the best bands of all time. Am very happy to have recently had that insight.
Welcome Sir😊
Ha! I was 12 when this came out but it was the soundtrack to my youth and this album is a masterpiece. I think Blur actually got better as they went on.
I love Oasis too, but they are good in different ways. I want oasis on in the pub after 5 pints. Blur I can sit down and listen to an album and it’s more nuanced and takes itself a little less seriously at points.
as a guitarist I think Coxon is vastly underrated and he’s absolutely breathtaking at times. It’s the fusion of Albans pure songwriting whit coxons alternative and avabr garde style. Nobody plays like Graham Coxon.
Have you heard of Magazine or Cardiacs? You'll thank me later...
@@TheManwithaview Checked out Cardiacs at your suggestion… oh my god I have never heard anything like them - so yes, thank you!
You’re more than welcome!
I saw Blur for the very first time, on Sunday, at Wembley.
I'm still emotional now, from it. I was cool as a cat on the day and night of seeing Weller and Blur (I missed The Selecter) - but it is still hitting me, four days on.
The
Best
Gig
Ever.
Bar none.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
One of the greatest songs ever written and composed.
It just is isn't it?
c'mon graham that solo is just flawless, what an amazing band
sometimes I wonder if brits masturbate to guitar solos
@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet hysteria by muse gets me goin every time
It's only just occurred to me after 25 years that there's a bit of Bernard Butler in that solo
It really is
All three of them 😊
🎸🎸 🎸
One of the best songs of all time.
They should put this and the entire album in the British Museum for future generations to hear. A work of art.❤
You have my complete agreement. This is a song to represent the best of which humanity is capable. It's magnificent.
will be one of the few things actually belonging to britain there lol!
yeah but this song is british and everyone knows nothing in the British Museum is actually british
parklife is one of those rare albums in the history of music where every song is a classic.
Yeah
parklife is easily one of the best pop albums i’ve ever heard. going into it, i didn’t expect it to be as good as it was
what about the debt collector?
@@timelywings7025 Especially the debt collector.
@@timelywings7025 very nice...
Has echoes of A Day in the Life, Syd Barrett, Ray Davies, Bowie. An English masterpiece.
Good call! Up there with the best of them here
Agreed...music is my Radar..❤
DAMON. You are such a gentle soul. I love you.
@@hariwyngriffith3401 ?
You aren't alone.
Pretty sure damon forgot about the blur youtube channel or never knew it existed
And into the sea
Goes pretty England and me
Around the bay of Biscay
And back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide
And go to sleep
And the radio says
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
Up the Tyne, Forth and Cramity
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear
And on the malin head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo
@thedarkhorse1971 Same as the "Dogger Bank" sandbank in the North Sea which is also mentioned in this song.
Finding ways to stay sober …..
Confirmation: Damon Albarn and his band moved into the very top league with this poetical, visionary epic. Absolutely, breathlessly brilliant! 👌
Amazing Guitar
Reversed Drumming
Albarns Vocals

My fave Blur song and has such meaning, Its the shipping weather forecast references and a ton of emotional innuendos. Not to mention a spine tingling guitar solo. Its complete musically for me and I want it played at my funeral.
when i watched them live in 2013, they played this before encore. at that moment, i felt that if my life ends that night, my life had already complete.
One of the greatest emotional songs
30 years later and it still sounds fresh
I’d love it if they’d do a ten day residency in the NYC area, as would so many fans in the states. Coachella doesn’t deserve blur.
This song has always given me chills. One of my favourites
This is the best Blur song ever! I knew it in 1994 & I certainly know it now. It's got everything.
Their peak song.
All rise for the U.K. national anthem. 🇬🇧
Seriously though, this song makes me feel oddly patriotic for this beautiful little group of islands. ❤️🤍💙
As it should be. While every country in the world has its cons of living in it, I think people in the UK should be proud to be part of the country or countries where the best popular music has been produced for over 50 years. Your creativity brings joy and happiness to people all over the world.
@@robsdianten1 Yeah, but have you listened to music from everywhere in the world to judge? Music in english ends up being more famous, but that doesnt mean its the best. Althought I do believe Blur and this song were.
@TomasLeiteLeite that's why I said "popular" music. Of course, I know there's an infinite list of good music around the world and that I probably could never listen to even 1 % of that list. Those music are most of the time, and sadly, only for people near the culture where they have made.
Graham's guitar in this song is amazing
Coxon is one of the most underrated of all the great British rock guitar players imho
This song makes me feel good and bad at the same time. But I love it.
Stunning...haven't stopped listening since 1995 ❤
I'm right back in my student days when I listen to this. Poor, hopeful and content. Thank you for the memories ❤
Such a beautiful song, an exceptional piece of poetry, and Graham's guitar playing is gorgeous.
Just heard Blur perform this live at Wembley. What a fu*king song! ❤
Verses, esoteric, British, the chorus a howl of euphoric melancholy.
Love the tension in the guitar strings
This is my FAVOURITE track from Blur.... Always has been ❤️
One of Blur's very best...
This feels like a reasonable day to listen to this song 🕊️🇬🇧
one of their best songs! This song has such a huge impact on one's soul!
Hace casi 30 años de Parklife. Dios mío!!! Yo tenía 19.
El tiempo corrió para ellos.
El tiempo corrió para Todos Nosotros.
Seamos Felices Siempre.
Si
callate juan
I was completed lost in Parklife. Wandering in streets of London, those were good days, for sure
I wasn't a massive Blur fan at the time......but there just simply isn't music as good as this made nowadays.
So glad i was a teenager in the 90's.
I'm pretty sure people say this about every generation.
Yea I was bolstered firmly in the OASIS camp but u can't deny great music...
Takes me back 2 when my dear Mum was with me. Miss her beyond words ... this is a low 😢😢😢😢😢😢
One of the best songs written
This is a low.. but it won't hurt you.. when you're alone.. it will be there with you
Magic music. Love Damon Albarn.
DrParanoidAndroid I can do relate right now....;)
DrParanoidAndroid getting and staying off drugs ain't easy but this song and that verse gives me strength. thanks for spelling it out!
@@incominghitdadirt9587 Best of luck to you.
Beautiful, blissful, hallucinatory psychedelia - the kind that Syd Barratt or Lennon and McCartney would have been proud to have produced in '67. Arguably Blur's crowning achievement. Happy 30th birthday, Parklife.
Sounds nothing like Syd Barrett
@@dang2443 I never said that it did.
@@snapsnappist4529 Yeah you did,
@@dang2443 Mmm. I'm pretty sure that you're just being a troll, but on the off-chance that you really have trouble reading, I'm happy to elaborate.
My comment above says that the song is "the kind that Lennon and McCartney or Syd Barratt would have been proud to have produced", meaning that it is part of a tradition of English psychedelia. I could have used other examples, like The Soft Machine, for instance (who Albarn's father managed at one time).
None of these groups sounded exactly alike, but they all had the hallmarks of psych.
But, hey, if you want an example of a song that _does_ sound like Syd Barratt, I refer you to the song "Far Out", another track off of Parklife.
Have a good one.
@@snapsnappist4529 Such a laughable, long-winded, pretentious, bullshit attempt to move the goalposts and pretend that you actually know what the fuck you're babbling about, when clearly you DO NOT.
Depression is all over this..their best song imo
This song contains one of my all-time favourite guitar solos. Graham made that tele wail.
I'm trying to leave a comment in every video to prove that Blur keeps being an awesome band even through the years
qUÉ HACÉS ACÁ
@@mmtz3051 de hecho, youtube me puso un revolver en la cabeza y me gritó que lo escuchara porque fue lo primero que me apareció 😔✌
@@mmtz3051 soy 1 F, no ves que pega bien¿?
Same.
@@Kelly14UK you beat me lol
It doesn’t get better than this.
Un disco perfecto y un grupo genial. "This is a Low" no fue un hit single, pero para mi está en lo más alto, me siento orgulloso de haber hecho una versión, aunque sea de las más sencillas que hay por aquí / A perfect album and a great group. "This is a Low" was not a hit single, but for me it's at the top, I'm proud to have made a version, even if it's one of the simplest around here.
Sing - Blue Jeans - This is a Low - The Universal
A wonderful batch of indie ballads from Blur's first four albums ❤
The story I was told years ago was that they wrote this song travelling from gig to gig in the back of a Transit van after they'd packed up all their gear and headed off to the next town listening to the Shipping Forecast on BBC Radio 4 after the midnight news. Quintessentially British.
Epic, sublime, absolute masterpiece.
Proud to be the same age as these boys. This Is A Low is for posterity
El solo de Graham es todo lo que está bien. De los mejores temas de Blur.
The way that Damon sings "it goes pretty"....just makes me feel crazy things in my insides.
My GOD, I'm glad I listened to this tonight.
"This is a low but it won't hurt you..."
Thank you Universe and Blur
JUST FLAWLESS... nothing else to add...
**For people learning English/Traditional Mandarin**
This Is A Low 低氣壓
And into the sea 潛入海裡
Goes pretty England and me 和我一起進入壯麗的英格蘭島
Around the bay of Biscay 環繞著比斯開灣
And back for tea 喝口茶
Hit traffic on the dogger bank 我們進入多格淺灣的交通阻塞
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank 向上洄游到泰晤士河，尋找排班計程車
Sail on by with the tide 隨著浪潮揚帆
And go to sleep 就此進入休眠
And the radio says 收音機預報
This is a low 這是個低氣壓
But it won't hurt you 但不會造成傷害
When you're alone 當你孤身一人
It will be there with you 他會在此處陪伴你
Finding ways to stay solo 直到你安然獨處
Up the Tyne, Forth and Cromarty 自泰恩河、福斯河到克羅默蒂
There's a low in the high forties 低氣壓已抵達北福蒂斯
Saturday's locked away on the pier 週六阻卻在港口外
Not fast enough, dear 親愛的，那卻不夠快
And on the Malin head 而在馬林角
Blackpool looks blue and red 黑潭顯得紅藍交錯
And the queen, she's gone round the bend 而皇后已然崩潰
Jumped off Land's End 轉身躍入世界盡頭
And the radio says 收音機預報
This is a low 這是個低氣壓
But it won't hurt you 但不會造成傷害
When you're alone 當你孤身一人
It will be there with you 他會在此處陪伴你
Finding ways to stay solo 直到你安然獨處
This is a low 這是個低氣壓
But it won't hurt you 但不會造成傷害
When you're alone 當你孤身一人
It will be there with you 他會在此處陪伴
This is a low 這是個低氣壓
But it won't hurt you 但不會造成傷害
When you're alone 當你孤身一人
It will be there with you 他會在此處陪伴
Finding ways to stay solo 直到你安然獨處
Soundtrack of my life...thank you so much for all the wonderful music
Such a moving and emotional song about... the shipping forecast.
This song gives me goosebumps.
Blur should have been a success in the states.
I know right? But the lyrics seems to be so British for states people
They had hits in the USA.
As an American I wish that this could be true, but Blur is honestly to British for most Americans.
Simplemente una obra de arte,es hermosa está canción,y la guitarra de Graham es simplemente maravilloso
Blur's finest song. The Beatles could have recorded this, it's very similar in tone to A Day In The Life apart from an absolute blistering guitar solo, which the Beatles could not have done. It really stood out on Parklife as being a real, timeless song.
I don't know. Paul McCartney teared up the guitar on taxman.
@@JeremiahPickardMusic That's true
I don't agree at all. End Of A Century is a much better song, as are many others. And the guitar solo - if you can call it that - seems to be deliberately ruining the mellow feel of the song..
The Beatles weren't a big lead guitar group, but you need to listen and learn from their catalogue.
I can hear remnants of _Jubilee_ at the beginning. It actually adds to the atmosphere of the beginning of the song.
Have you written a comment on every blur song yet?
I respect the dedication.
It might be a transitional thing
I cannot listen to this song without crying at all the hurt I have ever felt…
I feel it too😢
The 90's was the Bronze Age of pop imo, but that record sleeve was the best.
That guitar solo gives me goosebumps every single time
💕 This 🎶 and Clover Over Dover listening forever 💕
everytime I heard this song I cry..
Still one of my fav songs ever ❤
My favourite song of theirs... So soothing.
mit dem Mountainbike über Großglockner gefahren zim ersten Mal ,da war dieses Gefühl ♥️
I bought parklife when it came out and didn't think much of this track the first few times I heard it and then one day I was clearing my room one Saturday afternoon and the album finished with this song and I just thought wow this is the best song ever written...
Uma das mais belas baladas dos anos 90's.
Paulo Alberquerque I don't have a clue what you said but it has 90s in it so I liked it
@@harveykilgarriff7304 He said one of the best 90's ballads... ( Ever . )
@@KawaiiFuemi even better
Stunningly beautiful 🥰❤️👌🏻
Thanks for being a smole light in a infinitely large, pitch black universe.
blur's best downbeat song and some of graham's best guitar work, love that wailing guitar.
this track almost did not make the cut at all on Parklife.... so glad it did
Ya ever got this tune that just gets better every single time you hear it ;)
Only lasted 26 seconds, too many memories. Had them on repeat back then.
A muso friend of mine remarked "most guitar solos end disappointingly". Doesn't the solo in this song end gorgeously.
This song is nearly as good as any that Blur wrote giving Coffee & TV a close run for second behind the incomparable Beetlebum. A superb effort worthy of The Beatles.
best blur song
Está canción es hermosa
oye zi
The only defect of this song is not closing the album, it would be perfect
I always felt like this song is a closing to Parklife while Lot 105 is a bridge for you to replay the album again.
graham's guitar ❤️❤️
Fucking amazing song
Absolute genius band. More apparent nowadays listening back
very Radiohead-like. Damon's soothing voice mix with Graham's guitar solo is so beautiful.
Very Blur-like
This is before Radiohead became Radiohead
Nailed it with this gem.
YUP.
I still get goosebumps when I listen to this song
De mis favoritas
My Fav.
Sublime.
soothing
Todavia la sigo escuchando como la primera vez, es increible esta cancion, simplemente maravilosa Gracias Blur❤
Walthamstow gone ,but never forgotten just like Blur loved that time , having it large ? All or Nothing !
Reminds me of when England was.... You know what i mean 😢
English?
サマソニ来日！嬉しくて久しぶりに聴きたくなったのがコレ。
青春だったなぁ
Best blur's song along with Beetlebum
I'm a northern county boy, love Ross, oasis, high flying birds, but this song was immense when I was at Glastonbury, Boom lucky boro fc
Love this song so beautiful, a favorite of mine ❤️🔥🙂👍🏻
I needed this tonight. Thank you
So good...
Been searching for this song, or rather what song it is, with nothing more than a BLURry 5 second melody from it in my head, for over 5 years! Thank god! Or rather thank you google hum lok
Pls come back, we miss you!
