Blur - Colours (single)

band: Blur
song: Colours (single)
album: fan club singles 2003, think tank CD2 bootleg edition
--
Blue is where I want to be
Makes me feel I'm in the sea
Look at all the stars they don't need to say
Red's the color when you're dead
It gets there under your head
I don't feel the end, I just want to be
And I know so many things
Oh well I have to sing
There's nothing left to do
And my house is made with bricks
Red dance just such a fix
There's nothing I can do
Black is where I want to stay
I forget it's in my way
But I won't hurt myself, I'll just let it fall
White is what I was to start
But I dont want to get on top
All my life I just say everything free
And I know so many things
Her will is just for me
Puts it on the side
And her house is made of bricks
Oh well its such a fix
Ain't there nothing left?

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

They must release a collection of their fan club singles. Thumbs up if you agree.

[@PeteK-e9r]

They did I think

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

@@PeteK-e9r What's it called? If it exists, I should be able to find it on Discogs.

[@isyanaya2406]

they're just so.. young and lovely

[@k-leb4671]

This song, despite sounding like a demo, actually has a pretty good tune going on. So good in fact, that Damon Albarn resurrected this song for the soundtrack of a movie called Broken. It's completely re-recorded with a new singer and instruments, and is also considerably longer.

[@user-jl7ym4en5b]

JUST BEAUTIFUL. I shamefully had dismissed the band as being too young for me. The wonderful film, "Broken" brought me here. I must now start exploring & buying "Blur".

[@estebanvirumbrales5501]

It’s name the same on the soundtrack of broken 🤔

[@adamstanheightkinnie]

@@estebanvirumbrales5501 is that the film cillian is in?

[@flamingpiebaker]

Think Tank era song released as fan club single. I believe it would of worked really weel on the Think Tank album. Really good tune.

You'll be bad when everything is slow.

[@LucyWest370]

Thanks for the high effort comment of copy pasting whats in the description friend, you really earned those 41 likes!

[@badalsaibo]

​@@LucyWest370Thanks for being an asshole

[@MitchTheRobot]

The completionist in me (who owns blur 21) died a little upon discovering this... I love it.

[@k-leb4671]

Blur 21 could've had so much more on it. It should've had twice the amount of demos/rarities.

[@imamaniax18]

Oh well I have to sing. yes, there's nothing I can do to describe how smooth and beautiful tune in this stuff...

[@Riviere8281]

This song is precious

[@user-yk1wj6qg6y]

Wow Damon’s voice is so different and beautiful

[@3JAC3KiE3]

Lol I love Damon's face, how Graham is standing there like, "Uhh.....", Alex's hair lol, and how much Dave is in the water xD you can only see his head.

[@flamingpiebaker]

Again. The members of fan club are very lucky. What a wonderful song and thank you for sharing. Blur makes such great pop music.

[@chrisliammm]

it's strange. I am big fun of blur and i didn't know the existence of this marvellous song!!

[@MrLuigi11]

@spictacular101, I was actually talking about both. I know Blur's famous, and everything, but it's kind of underrated, they deserve more, you know? And those singles, also, why aren't they famous? Blur is so much more than people hear about.

[@RaoulFel]

One of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard

[@StuartVonTRT]

hopefully it would be on blur 31

[@Cyrath89]

So yeah found this out today.. thank you Blur for telling me about this on FB

[@jgrantkerr]

Very Belle and Sebastian-like. Love these guys so much. Please tour the states again soon.

[@allanfreeland9280]

debate with me...little bambi

[@MrLuigi11]

wow, u know, I keep going deeper on blur singles and I can't get enough of them! So awesome but so unfamous, I just don't get that...

[@johnharvey4448]

Quite a few blur singles are famous.

[@meesierit]

Thumps up if Eloise Laurence (Broken) brought you here!

[@nefer9256]

6 whole people :O!

Beautiful harmonies

[@georgezsebe9794]

Thank you for sharing! ^_^

[@SlackrUk]

I joined the Fan Club late, but got this and Some Glad Morning before it ended. Great songs :)

[@johnfru]

great song

[@czuek]

Love it ! : )

[@johnnydinkis2]

Off the top of my head, their covers of "Substitue" and "Oliver's Army" from compilation albums were not included. Also, only the extended version of "I Know" was included. If you wanna count live tracks there's a lot. The entire Live At The Budokan and All The People albums. The B-sides gig EP. The live at Wembley bonus disc from Best Of. Only a few of the songs from the Peel Acres EP were included. Probably more.

[@mattludlam2194]

Beautiful song, why isn't this on an album, when was it recorded?

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

It wasn't on an album because someone somewhere is very stupid.

[@Soundwave11037]

It was during the sessions for Think Tank

[@biponacci]

I think it’s an issue between the band and what the record label wanted on Leisure, part of why Damon kinda disowns the album

[@k-leb4671]

@@biponacci I'm pretty sure this wasn't recorded in the Leisure era.

[@paulsmartialarts]

only a billion years later

[@S34CL0D5Peach]

what a fucking great song

[@k-leb4671]

Looks like Dave's really dug himself deep.

[@dlr.]

i dig his friends.

[@Darweinersnitzel]

Where can I get this song? It doesn't appear to be on iTunes :/

[@luke4djojo]

not featured on Blur 21 boxset :/

[@kurtistyndall9031]

omg im out of fcks. RIP in piece

[@theNomadz]

One of the few previously released songs not featured on Blur 21 sadly :'(

[@Eeli2008]

Yes what a miss!

[@paulsmartialarts]

This one being the most glaring ommision

[@alangh1214]

¿Which member of the band sang this one? Sounds like Graham's voice, but he wasn't in the group cuz this song belongs to the time when Think Tank was recorded. By the way, I love this song.

[@johnharvey4448]

It's definitely Damon's voice.

[@dlr.]

[@OnLfilms]

i thought they where in water at first but turns out its sand their standing in. ha who would have thought:]

[@charliefonn]
