My Youth, my first time being drunk, my first concert with frieds, every drive to a house party. Thats Blurs music for me. Memorys

[@SMKYNC]

This song is genius man why so much hate. It's an ironic and sarcastic viewpoint of looking at life and society how we're all trapped in it and have to cope in various ways. But thats just the lyrics. The instrumental is anthemic and epitomes being a brit and loving the countryside and wanting to escape the city rat race and opting for the simple thing. Whih is not a bad thing. Lot of messages in this song and Damon's voice is iconic and he is one of the world's most talented musicians with a variety of sounds and styles. But this track is modern punk brit pop funk gold, pure gem of a song and all the boys of blyr should be proud of it ❣

[@nishot2639]

I think he is acting so down in this performance more as a joke, because they had to playback everything expect for the vocals on TOTP. He's just taking the piss in the clip. I'm not saying he wasn't depressed at this time but him being so low energy in this is more meant to be funny than anything else.
