    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.

    From what I know, the reason why this song has a U.S version wasn't because of Damon's Bowl cut, but because the Original was a parody of the British OXO Commercials in the 90s.

    • @Malkmusianful
      @Malkmusianful 3 года назад +20

      yeah, the way the US market just rejected Blur until "Song 2" makes me sad
      like they couldn't figure out what a bank holiday and an advert are - god, they must be too British
      and yet they let Noel and Liam Gallagher ramble on about the Beatles and Scouse slang

    I love this video more than the original. It makes me feel nostalgic.
    Fact: This version has Blur perform in a swimming pool. They’re standing on Perspex stands but the chlorine in the water would cause the band to fall in unless they stood completely still. That means they look a tiny bit nervous as they’re trying to stand still. That’s why it looks like they’re stuck to the floor. The record company tried to hide them being stuck to the Perspex stands by adding the many effects you see in the video

    You're taking the fun Out of everything
    넌 모든 즐거운것들을 찾아다니고 있어.
    Making me run When I don't want to think
    내가 더이상 생각하기 싫을때 날 거기서 벗어나게 해
    I don't want to think at all
    난 아무것도 생각하고 싶지 않아
    There's no other way There's no other way
    다른 방법이 없어 , 달리 해볼게 없어
    All that you can do Is watch them play
    사람들이 노는걸 바라볼 뿐.
    You're making it clear When I don't want to think
    내가 생각하고 싶지 않을때, 넌 그걸 확실하게 해주지.
    You're taking me up When I don't want to go up anymore
    내가 아무대도 가고싶지 않을때 너가 나를 이끌어줘.
    I'm just watching it all
    그냥 난 지켜볼테니까.

    I admit to being with the music crowd/music listeners who enjoy both the U.S promo version and the other original version of this catchy There's No Other Way by Blur. The carefree and folksy energy of There's No Other Way by Blur also makes this classic 90s alternative indie rock melody the type of song that can grow on a music listener the more that it is listened to.

    I'm pretty sure I saw this on MTV (US) waaayy back in the 90s... Definitely better than the original video. (Sorry).

    I have seen the other version of this song (with the huge trifle!) For years, but remembered this version. I guess this is the American version!
