St Charles Square
I fucked up
I’m not the first to do it
Must forgoe now, your smile
Off the wall, beige
I’m fixtures and fittings
Call me out but call me
‘Cause there is something down here
And it’s living under the floorboards
Its grabbed me round the neck with its long and slender claws
Don’t leave me here baby don’t leave me completely
‘Cause I might not get back to myself at all
St Charles Square
This year’s migration
Basement flat with window bars
Pauli’s outside
Spare me the gloaters and the pain
I don’t want it anymore
‘Cause there is something down here
And it’s living under the floorboards
It’s up and down the clock of the townhall back in time
Oh I’ll ride with you baby, I’ll ride with you forever
But we might not get back to ourselves at all
No Tesco disco
The room is shrinking fast around me
It’s grabbed me by the ankle
And pulled me under
Loneliness I’ve been here before
‘Cause every generation has its gilded poseurs
Weird vibrations in the basement
I don’t like this scene
Pauli’s ghost come back to haunt me
Think I’m going to …

[@Superdelphinus]

Love the production of these songs so far. They sound wide and modern, but also gritty and 90s ish

[@ollyf5088]

Reminds me a bit of No Monsters In Me

[@Superdelphinus]

@@ollyf5088 good shout

[@arnividarthorarinsson4112]

Yeah, definitely “No Monsters” and a few other b-sides from 96-99, like “Tame”, “All Your Life” and “All We Want”

[@PDXDrumr]

I'm really reminded of the 90s here. It's great :)

[@WoodenWizard]

gritty like late 80s pixies. at least for me, blur was the UK's answer to pixies. song 2 leans into that.

[@soonforget]

Reminds me of Scary Monsters era David Bowie. Love it.

[@zaviermawari9224]

With a smidge of Tin Machine

[@chrismeehan6698]

@@zaviermawari9224 fancy a beer 🍻🤣🤣

[@ardendolas]

Glad I'm not alone in hearing the Bowie influence. Loving the two tracks so far!

[@TJByrnesAudioVisual]

Heard it immediately! Love that I'm not alone

[@WikiNicoBrz]

exactly my thoughts hearing the first riff

[@rtock]

This is the most Bowie Blur have sounded since Blur

[@LanceGilbert88]

Immediately thought of the song “It’s no game” by Bowie

[@andylambrini5460]

Very Scary Monsters/Robert Fripp

[@robridgeway1964]

@@andylambrini5460 to me the guitar is more alomar than fripp- very like 'dj' off lodger. good to hear graham making some noise!

[@nesalejan7700]

M.O.R.

[@valdotc8559]

Since ever

[@Albion101]

The 90s vibe and Graham’s guitar riff are a perfect mix.

[@c0rps11]

I’m exited for any blur song to come out! Never disappoints me! I AM NOT DISAPPOINTED! 😁

[@CMONCMON007]

The shadow animations are incredible

[@apocalypsenow317]

What a guitar riff

[@nebyular0599]

The visualisers have been incredible so far (songs too obviously)

[@Losing-it.]

🍑 It's a very challenging song to sing along because the lyrics dont follow the rhythm. Its a creative way to give a sense of desperation along with graham's guitar

[@fastrnur20]

The lads never disappoint, keep it up! This album is going to the best thing to happen to me in a long time. Long Live Blur, and Mr. Albarn!!! 💗🎸

[@kierdent9227]

What a tune! Can't wait to hear this at Wembley next week!

[@Indiesign]

Blur fans, please do not hate me! I like this song but it feels like Damon and the band were kind of tired recording it. So here is the trick: set playback speed to 1.25. It works like a magic! You are welcome.

[@richinleam]

Kasabian meets Bowie and T-Rex. Love this tune..

[@TLOEric]

Holy hell, boys. Well done.

[@geesus8165]

this sounds like if 13 and Magic Whip had a child together

[@MURFMAN04]

haha love this comment :)

[@nadiabianconi6134]

I m waiting for you in Italy ❤

[@james3808]

i love this song! it really reminds me of 90s blur!

[@redford4ever]

Oh I like this. Instantly one of my favorite all time Blur songs.

[@alanakate7303]

These new songs are so good!!! Album can’t come fast enough. So keen! Love the visuals too.

[@itsnotyoulia]

they never fail to amaze us

[@simpaulistic9795]

This sounds like the blur I always loved so much!

[@youmenoww]

Blur are back! Thank god, one of the great bands of the entire rock and modern music era

[@recommendacious8026]

Blur never disappoint...this one is super

[@seangarcia7155]

This visualiser is rad! The guitar tone and riff is so good! Can't wait for the new album 🙌❤

[@Dan_Abnormal]

Thank you for new song ❤love you guys

[@Dan_Abnormal]

I'm crying. I love this song

[@Stefano1875]

Banger. Doesn't matter how long they go way for. Screams Bowie at me this one

[@mayankkapri7305]

This Reminds me of my childhood, for some reason❤

[@discoduckgandolf]

Y'all. In all my years of listening to Blur (and Damon's work in general), this marks the first time I've ever heard Damon himself use a sentence enhancer in his music, let alone one starting with the letter F. It was only a matter of time before he slipped. Such a tremendous milestone to behold!

[@marcelopetters]

Awesome! I even get emotional and happy to see Blur continues to be extremely creative. Wow! Hugs from Brazil!

[@235T1NGR4Y23]

Wow this song and the visualizer are both incredible. What imagery! Really amplifying the mood of the song. Great work to all involved.

[@jennywolff2120]

Magnificent new song, awesome guitar riff...great opener for Wembley!! ❤ ..Coming up very, very soon!! Let´s get the stadium shaking! 😊

[@nathanviney-vy1ub]

Love the visualisers

[@nurriaya5204]

Really miss them. The true legend.

[@BrandonMobley614]

Graham Coxon’s guitar tone lives so rent free in my head. 192% the sound I try and emulate.

[@ActorMonkey]

An absolute banger!

[@christofferkavantsaari6811]

I’m so happy that they reunited and made a new album

[@CalumnMcAulay]

Coxon is a genius innovator

[@fennecfoe]

The bug visualizer bit freaks me out but i LOVE LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE

[@sssavageee]

Man is good to know That Damon is not just part of the band, it sounds really good, You can clearly feel the influence of the other musicians in the sound of the Band, the big band, Blur!!!

[@alansmithee4481]

So great to hear these guys making what, for me, is their best ever stuff and doing it at this point in their careers.

[@supdog8786]

Honestly blur new album looks more promising than the new foo fighters album

[@tonywoodfield9986]

Love this song! The artwork for the album is brilliant 👏 reminds of one the covers of the albums in the 90s

[@peterlongstaff5579]

BANGER

[@maphazar7549]

Love it, it's like Ian Dury and David Bowie climbed inside Albarns head and banged.

[@luton_gmanrock]

Los coros más increíbles que he escuchado. Esta canción es buenísima.

[@bedstuy11]

君たち、いい音楽作るね。

[@howardratcliffe2960]

Top tune guys! Glad to have you back for as long as you still want to feel the love! Can't wait for Wembley, I'm sure it will be forever memorable! Oi! Damon, Fila have already sold out of those shirts! Did you buy em all?
