    • @SeanSMST
      @SeanSMST 3 года назад +17

      I wholeheartedly believe he is one of the most talented individuals in the music industry ever. I'm not saying that as a fan. Just simply look at the albums and music he's helped create, something even other crazy talented individuals haven't done.
      He's been the lead in 3 bands (blur, gorillaz, good/bad queen) , created a musical, africa express giving attention to niche artists, solo work. Yes he hasn't output much compared to other artists, like buckethead has output hundreds. But it's his versatility and ability to make quality productions of entertainment and sound anywhere where he applies himself to.
      Regardless of who you are, you can find some song he's had a hand in making and like. Whether it's britpop, alt rock, borderline prog/experi rock, hip hop, pop, synth, dance pop, sombre electronic, acoustic, whatever you'd call good, bad and the queen.
      It honestly makes me a bit gutted hearing someone not know his work. Yeah there's TONS of music out there, but I've met people who don't know Song 2 or Feel Good Inc, or not know Blur for example. They miss out on very good music, while usually listening to rap/pop drivel. There is good rap/pop, but not the real mainstream stuff mostly.

    *"The Nearer the Fountain, More Pure the Stream Flows
    " by Damon Albarn (lyrics)*
    [Verse 1]
    You were gone, the dark journey there
    Leaves no returning
    It's fruitless for me to mourn you
    But, who can help mourning
    [Chorus]
    To think of life, that did laugh on your face
    In the beautiful past left so desolate now
    When you've seemed immortal
    So sweet it did we
    Heaven's halo around you
    [Verse 2]
    I had have hoped you to see
    You were the fairest and dearest
    While many were fair, to my heart you were nearest
    The year has it's winter as well as it's May
    The sweetest leavers and the fairest decay
    [Refrain]
    The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows
    [Chorus]
    To think of life, that did laugh on your face
    In the beautiful past left so desolate now
    When you've seemed immortal
    So sweet it did we
    Heaven's halo around you
    [Bridge]
    Around you
    I had have hoped you to see
    Around you
    [Refrain]
    The nearer the fountain, more pure the stream flows

The themes of the album seem very related of what I'm going thru: its gonna be my 9th anniversary with mental illness. But I do not belive in coincidence, I belive in destiny.

    Few musicians untie themselves from the rock of past success. Like the great Bowie, Albarn has found the soul in music, a freedom to create what his soul and not the public told him. Behold a work of art. There's truth in nearer the fountain, the MOST pure the stream flows. :D
