바램이 있다면 블러가 한국에 왔으면 좋겠어. 어디든 공연이 있으면 가고 싶지만 현생에 치여서 슬프네.

[@Dmitrikrotchlikmyov]

My mum got me and my nan into your music, and now I've got my daughter into your music. 4 generations of blur fans!!!

[@stevengearity7297]

Well done 😊

[@bubblegumhazeeuphoria]

Absolutely love the Ballad of Darren. I’ll be listening to it every day for the rest of the summer.

[@walpolekidscomics879]

Same🎉

[@ianscottosborne9630]

It may just be my favorite Blur album.

[@Banksy100]

Please tell me you KNOW Think Tank? Else you shouldn't be making that kinda statement x

[@agropop2006]

Yuko & Hiro vibes

[@TheLeagueOfSteve]

"I'll be there, not just send flowers..."

[@singIeservingfriend]

Beautiful song

[@deathkampdrone]

It's like Yuko & Hiro 28 years later

[@chrismorrison3696]

Exactly how I felt. In a wonderful way.

[@Lucerna982]

A new classic, Damon's voice feels so great, so beautiful...I love how they made these videos with the lyrics, they don't need all the big production. Blur is just perfect the way they are. Thank you for coming back and bring a new favorite album

[@sylkewatter1170]

I just hope they stay for a while now and don't split up again for ten years after the tour

[@Banksy100]

It doesn't matter. They've given more than enough!❤

[@reillez1981]

Has a Yuko & Hiro vibe

[@heathcliff1096]

This is music....thank you Blur !

[@chrismorrison3696]

Heartbreaking. This could be a second side track for the Great Escape. Absolutely gorgeous. Graham is the kind of guitarist that plays only riffs that make the WHOLE band sound marvelous. That's a musician.

[@brandonwright9969]

This song hits harder knowing some of the lyrics are about his break up with his partner of 25 years

[@TheLeagueOfSteve]

There are echoes of Yuko & Hiro here... love this song so much.

[@chrismorrison3696]

@@TheLeagueOfSteve 100%! Great ear man!

[@darkstar3794]

Blur ever so unique and detergent with ziggy stardust vibes 😮‍💨🤟😎

[@atebayam]

this one is my favourite, sounds like the old bsides that are so very dear to me.

[@GISLJJ]

one of my favorite songs of the summer

[@Inequities]

By far the most interesting song on the album so far. Really satisfying glissandi guitar parts all over the song. This is what I’ve been waiting 9 years for. Grade: A+

[@Banksy100]

I have to say I haven't listened to it enough to compare with Think Tank, but that's the high ba😊r it is competing with in my ears 😶. It's Graeme's geetar... especially at the end, all that overdrive/chorus really floats me boat! #BloodySouthernerz

[@Love.is.eveything.]

Goodbye Albert Lyrics Goodbye to you and me Goodbye to the shallows like refugees singing We crossed the world We disappeared And no one looks to see if we are coming back soon I was not ready yet Let it go Goodbye to you and me You sat me with me at dawn Then you left for sea singing I tried to find you there Blue parasol But I could not find it In this world, denied it But I think you'd rather Let it go I stayed away I gave you time Why don't you talk to me anymore? Don't punish me forever Goodbye, depression parade Like a weather front at dawn It could fade I was crushed by sleep and unravelled dreams Washed away for hours I'd be there, not just send flowers But I think you'd rather I stayed away Got pulled inside Why don't you talk to me anymore? Don't punish me

[@stussysinglet]

Every song on the album is about a 9 or 10 of 10…

[@Inequities]

The most emotionally connected song to me ever written

[@vmaysov]

Oh, that guitar! Simple amazing!

[@sonicyouth29]

Coxon

[@johnswordro]

he sounds like Bowie in the chorus

[@Maru_Cyan]

quite possibly the best song they've made in the last two albums. superior this one.

[@michaelkline646]

I'm in love with the feeling that these songs are giving me. I look forward to playing The Ballad of Darren on repeat for awhile and really delving into it. What an exceptional addition to the Blur catalogue.

[@pigeon6913]

Darren is seeming like it has elements of another break up album. Sad and melancholy (I am digging it, though )

[@sylkewatter1170]

That's exactly my thoughts. I pray I'm wrong

[@michaelskurski912]

It looks like he recently broke up with his long time girlfriend

[@21stcenturyMoments]

Great new album from blur😊

[@kellywilliams7645]

Немного грустный,но такой великолепный!!!!!

[@dreamsthatgotogether7553]

I’m kinda shocked a band like this would have less than 1/2 a million subscribers

[@Banksy100]

Irrelevant x

[@Inequities]

@@Banksy100 yeah, they’re in the Spotify 1000, which sounds like a lot of artists, but 1000 across the world of every genre and time, that’s pretty good

[@dreamsthatgotogether7553]

Yeah I guess it’s fair to say most of their fans would own their albums on physcial media especially CDs which last a long time and can be easily converted to digital so there wouldn’t be much reason to subscribe. Versus older bands if you only had vinyl or tapes or something you would have to either repurchase everything or just listen on KZbin.

[@chrismeehan6698]

That's the beauty of blur......you hear it and then you're hooked and to fuck what anyone else thinks!!! It's personal ......

[@Inequities]

@@chrismeehan6698 hell yeah. Ballad of Darren came out right as I was going through an awful breakup, and being able to identify with, and know that the great Damon Albarn had just gone through the same thing was invaluable

[@mauriciocervantes6155]

solo escuche 2 segundos de la cancion y ya me parece un nuevo clasico de Blur que gran cancion

the best song in this album

[@martinmeister5394]

I just like this album because there are no bad tracks....just this good album you can listen to all summer (it's like if u really like coffee revels and get a packet that has a factory fault of all coffee revels in it)

Live the track, and I bet it will be a sure fire win for all Pink Floyd fans

Here for the depression parade ❤

[@Janish2016]

Gracias Blur por este disco y por venir a la Argentina!!

[@jonnycomics]

Fantastic ideas for simple visuals to go with these. Cool style.

[@Iberotimuka]

I wasn’t sure how to put this up, after all it is mostly sentimental drivel, but the fact is Blur has always been there in the background, projecting a reassuring sense of normality and a group I can totally relate to and identify with, they make you sense yep, we're here, the London you grew up is always here, from way back at school with Bang and There’s No Other Way when Damon appeared on TOTP stoned off his head, not bothering to sing and waving a cut out chicken, through Parklife and the ultimate expat song This is a Low where he has the audacity to quote the Shipping Forecast, to Song 2 and experimental post Brit pop rock to that weird weird 13 at the turn of the century, then as we reached our 40s and thought they’d finally faded into the past, they were forced to kick their heels for four days in the Ultimate personification of Nostalgia and Longing for Britain of Days gone, Hong Kong in 2015 and hey presto they came out with a new album, which for me was basically more Gorillaz with good guitar. Then out of nowhere last month they come out with a brilliant Ballad of Damian. I’m blown away with this song “Goodbye Albert” which is so reassuring and beautifully familiar and can take you back to Modern Life is Rubbish, it’s just like they are saying we’re here, by your side, getting old with you and we always will be. What makes it even more special for me is the video is a cartoon of the Albert Memorial Albert statue, which I just happened to visit three months ago. Thanks Blur for just being there, always.

[@laluna5177]

I can feel his pain

[@takeapictureitlllastlonger5768]

Blur to headline glasto 2024?

[@lopezpepebeto3544]

Damon Albarn is the FUCKI'N genius of modern times

[@hammerecords]

I thought I had played this out after 3 months but here it is in January and I'm still playing it.

[@vera.1yz764]

❤Sound Perfect to me..... Lovers feeling the Existance well done guys❤

Sounds like Bowie. One of the best songs on the album.

Blue is the second coming of the Beatles, convince me otherwise

[@TheBurr75]

Superb this

[@thierryreynard6485]

Magnifique, une ballade digne de Bowie que Bowie aurait pu chanter, ça sonne comme une sorte d'hommage avec le son de guitare un peu sale, background

[@danstyle892]

Je me suis dit pareil ça fait très David Bowie.lhommage est tout a fait possible . Je vois ya des français qui ont dû gout ;)

It’s actually Prince Albert (Queen Victoria’s husband) who I assume the song is named after, although I’m not sure why, the drawing is of his statue at the Albert memorial in London
