Blur - Sing (Official Audio)

[@markpayne9266]

Just like blur introducing the Beatles to My bloody valentine at a party. This may well become my new obsession. Thanks Liam 👍

[@gdub999tub.]

Ha - The Beatles and MBV are two of my favorite groups. And Blur is a third, but I have never before seen anyone tie them all together.

[@robyntm]

Graham and Damon's harmonies during the "aaaaaa' part is magical, I don't know how else to describe it. It always gives me chills

This song sounds eerie at first blush, but then the drum begins and it's mind-twisting, insane and tormented. One of my favorite pieces.

[@Petox20x]

Have you heard "Venus in Furs" by the Velvet Underground?

[@blake8489]

+Petox20x It definitely has a Venus in Furs vibe to it. Sounds like Maureen Tucker's drumming

[@Petox20x]

Yes, and the psychotic violin sounds like John Cale's electric viola. Most of the song sounds like a cover of "Venus in Furs."

[@marilynmonroe2675]

@Vincent Amiel I love it too. And I agree with you. The piano at the start is just delectable...... The song is insane and hauntingly beautiful... Whats the worth in all of this??? 👏👏👏👏👏❤💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋

[@eckoalbino1623]

I loved how that song was used for the turning point in Trainspotting: the result of their drug addiction which was the neglect of Dawn, the baby that's supposed to be Sick Boy's, leading to her death 😔

[@mistersir3185]

Heard this song in Bekham on Netflix and I had to save it on my spotify. It just sounds so beautiful!

[@youennmoal7400]

This song sounds like it couldn’t end. Their voices are so special and beautiful together. The bass line is so pure, true, like someone looking at you with pretty eyes and all the world behind. The moment when there are just the drums and the bass is magic. Blur’s musicians are so kind that they don’t stop the song brutally. I love them and this song

[@marthallen]

this song is how it sounded and felt everyday when i was at the height of my depression. Everything was loud and words went straight through you and conversations were chores

[@jime6353]

How are you doing today? Praying for your relief.

[@miaeliz]

I hope you’re feeling better today.

[@eckoalbino1623]

"Thank you, Your Honor! With God's help, I'll conquer this terrible affliction!"

Quite possibly the most underrated song ever.... Astonishing piece of work.

[@158alfie]

This is one of them songs where you can’t describe the way it makes you feel. You feel happy but then you have a strange feeling in your stomach of sadness because something is bugging you really bad in life

[@davidschlessinger9945]

one of the greatest songs ever- an anthem for the 90s

[@k-leb4671]

This is so much better than the rest of Leisure. It's kinda incredible how much of a quality gap there is. Sure, I quite like She's So High, There's No Other Way, and Wear Me Down, and there's a few others I like, but Sing is just on a whole other level.

[@Oriio_Squad]

This sound is magical

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

The B-sides to leisure were much better than a lot of the tracks that made it on to the album. The record company were really in control at that point. Luminous and Inertia are great tunes

[@lukef1586]

I think it's just different. That's the genius of blur - one song can be completely different to the other, yet they are all blur. Essex Dogs vs Parklife. If you didn't know it was the same band, you would never guess it. So when you have that variety within one band, the songs become just a matter of taste

[@k-leb4671]

@@lukef1586 I agree. Still though, I think Leisure is a classic case of bad dictation. So many better songs they recorded could've been included on the album, but it seems the record label was having none of that. I love when a band can create music of such varying styles, like a musical chameleon, but the different songs still have to be good and the albums well composed. They and their record label got the hang of it after Leisure.

[@marksaunders4142]

If you think leisure is a rubbish album then you don't get it. It captured a time where everything was uncertain and led to britpop. This and suede started a whole new genre. You don't get to cherry pick from genius. The album is a classic.

[@andrewciambriello2655]

[@DalleDayul]

Still not sure how this was on Leisure because it feels not only so different, but just so far above the rest of that record. This would stand out even among Blur's later, more experimental work. Absolutely fucking ridiculous that they made this on their *debut* record.

[@rafaelsantosx]

And it was one of their first song too, back when they were called "Seymour".

[@darrylemberton4331]

Complete masterpiece this song. BLUR is up there with the greats of this world.

Nothing like getting off the Subway in Manhattan on a hectic Monday morning to this song....feels like the soundtrack to life.

[@miguelandresreyescastro6998]

I once heard this one day while kinda melancholic/nostalgic and, after coming from university, I saw a nearby kid playground and, ironically, decided to climb and then go down a toboggan, in trying not to kill the "child in my head." Made me more nostalgic...

[@thomtini]

Blur’s greatest ever tune IMO

[@dixienormous6969]

Yes yes yes above and beyond YES!!!!!!!!!

[@drdpression]

There's a strong argument for that, and it's hard to disagree, but don't forget 'Oily Water': an equal classic.

@@drdpression In all honesty, that was my favorite song off that album for a long time, like I was listening to "Modern Life Is Rubbish" back when I was like 12 and stuff,. and until this day. I've never stopped listening to Blur, least of all this particular album...

I've always loved this song &, was gutted my mate left it cut in 2 when he recorded it from cd to tape for me (oldskool download lol) way back in 1993. Tonight something is different. Tonight I'm listening to it as a musician with a decent pedalboard trying to figure out what Graham is actually playing & what effects he's using. Gotta say that only makes the song even better! 27 years & still finding new ways to appreciate them, I FUCKIN LOVE BLUR!!!

[@gmmgmmg]

Someone on Twitter (X) just asked Liam Gallagher : “What Blur song would you like to have written, Liam?” to which he replied, “‘Sing’”. When asked, “Does 'Sing' make you cry Liam?” he added, “Like a baby”.
