"Something so momentary that you can only be it" = bloody brilliant line

[@kellydalstok8900]

Okay. But what does it mean?

[@dreamsthatgotogether7553]

I think it means a brief, one-of-a-kind experience you feel very strongly, but can’t wrap your head around what it actually is

[@tracyjacks7523]

​​@@kellydalstok8900 obviously can't speak for Damon, but to me it seems to mean a moment so unique and fleeting that you don't have time to contemplate your reaction to it, overanalyse it, etc. Just to be present in it and consumed by it.

[@madebyjordan]

@@kellydalstok8900t's an acknowledgment of the shortness of human life, and the sheer bliss of finding a true love in that momentary existence. This track is written from the perspective of having broken up with someone who you tasted that fleeting sense of true love with and saying to them "we're running out of time to fix it" and if we can't fix it here on earth, I'll be waiting in the afterlife (The Heights) to stand next to you again.

[@LolaEve13]

​@tracyjacks7523 this is how I take it too and it kind of sums up how I felt about seeing them at Wembley ❤

[@ElleElle7830]

This song opened up the floodgates for me. A heartbreaking cherry on top of an incredibly emotional album.

[@iainsear7830]

Bloody good album, really like this one and Barbaric.

[@jamesford4950]

If I've not already cried by this point in tomorrow's gig, I definitely will be when this some is played...

[@markdolan9513]

My favourite track from the album

[@yasnaovv]

same

[@andrealeroux2180]

Same

[@jennywolff2120]

There are not enough words to describe the brilliance of this song. It is so incredibly good, with Damon´s reflective lyrics and Graham´s buzzing guitar sounds. It all works together mind-blowing perfectly. The sound at the end is phenomenal! What a masterpiece! A new Blur classic.❤

[@andresaguero5880]

I have cried more than a couple of times to this song.

[@martinmeister5394]

I think in this song the heights is a metaphor for climbing a mountain of an achievement for whatever means something to you and when you reach the top your so exhausted and not in the right mood to comprehend that achievement that you are basically in there with the audience clapping with their sense of wonder

[@Missmoontellusaboutthesky]

I LOVE YOU BLUR

[@COOL-DROPS]

Me too 😊

[@PabloGarcia-lx6ti]

Especially Graham

[@satine1330]

Forever ❤

[@luisarias8426]

Yo mas❤🇲🇽

[@maellemouton3276]

❤❤❤

[@danrleiluiz1997]

This song closes the album in such an abrupt way, it seems like a way to tease the next album hehe

[@pigeon6913]

What a heartbreaker.... The lyrics hit with the weight of decades behind them

[@kuanbekkhabiyev1685]

"This is me" moment for Blur on this album. Reminds me "Battery in you Leg" from Think Tank.

[@Nerokennedy99]

THIS❤

[@blanchebunker836]

Absolutely love BIYL but feel like it got no recognition.

[@fannycornelius]

this whole album is a masterpiece! Thank you for blessing us with it!!

[@daisychain9713]

It's a break up album which really he should have released for himself...

[@andresaguero5880]

The band adds a lot to it.

[@martinmeister5394]

1. Modern life is rubbish 2. Blur self titled 3. The Balled of Darren 4.13 5.The Great Escape 6.Parklife 7.Leisure 8.Magic Whip 9.Think Tank

[@hanheerockon4010]

The last part is incredible. At the end of this song, I felt like I was disappearing as my life passed by like a flashlight just before I died and my brain stopped at the end. It's a sad but beautiful song! Thank you, BLUR 💙❤️

[@sophiafakevirus-ro8cc]

Me, I farted and had another HobNob

[@suds3405]

This is very special, a band in their 50s should not be making music this good but I'm glad they are

[@blanchebunker836]

When those drums kick in at 1:19 - effing amazing! Turn it up loud!

[@mrz6921]

you are never "on your own" the universe around you and inside of you all is one love, forever...

[@emmaelizabeth3652]

This is just sublime. One of the best tracks from the album

[@desmondhume8071]

"Something so momentary that you can only be it" - man, this hits hard. Thanks Blur.

[@kuanbekkhabiyev1685]

One of their best. On par with anything they put out in the past. I wish they played it during their recent gigs.

[@greatsource5405]

Its actually an unplayable song.

[@kuanbekkhabiyev1685]

They did play it to smaller crowd in hammersmith

[@stephanieredden8861]

This is right up there with Tender. Both are such beautiful songs.

[@user-bg7qk3xv9f]

🙏 Благодарю Вас, я Ваша искренняя поклонница с 1996 года❤, мое сердце похоже всегда с Вами Blur

[@chriss1587]

Been a big Blur fan for over 30 years and they have written some amazing songs, released some brilliant albums ,seen them live a few times but this song by far has to rank as one of their best, what a brilliant song, this and The Everglades have put some much needed happiness in my life, Well done chaps, don't ever stop.

[@angieanderson7792]

I've been listening to Damon because of the album he did with Bobby Womack. The more im hearing and seeing him... im appreciating him. He seems like a man with awareness, generosity and a social conscience. I liked the early Blur songs and I'm loving his creativity and how bold he can be in changing his style and the types of life issues or situations he writes and sings abot

[@trevorbacque8175]

I feel this song expands on "He thought of cars".

[@diegoisaac93]

The beauty of this is overwhelming. Last night was on my own and really felt that.

[@rain_down_]

Opening guitar chords from Space Oddity and very Bowie vocals from Damon., especially at 2:11. Much respect.

[@Listentoblur]

BLUR HAS MY HEART FOREVER 💙💙

[@addisetyawan]

Lost in the depths of this soul-stirring melody

[@iangbland]

'Are we running out of time?' yep, so best stick this on repeat

[@jaimetabilo2005]

Another masterpiece for the long list of Blur's gems

[@YouKnowWhereYouAre]

I start crying as soon as I hear the opening chords to this song now. This is one of my all-time fave Blur songs now, so much heart.

[@TheRealRoyalPine]

Best song on the album, top 15 blur songs easily

[@beestonpoet]

One of the best songs on the album IMO ..

[@cvxber]

i am crying right now this album is amazing

[@alastairhimmer1916]

This whole album is flawless -- musically and lyrically. Goosebumps, joy, tears, every emotion. Imagine Oasis trying to write something of this depth! 🤣🤣🤣

[@jennywolff2120]

Excellent ending to such a beautiful album! It is incredible how everything destroys itself at the end of this song...truly bombastic sound. Blur really nailed it with this whole album! 😍💯❤

[@gianluca_paci]

Ringrazio i Blur per aver pubblicato il nuovo album.....ma signori miei "The Heights" non si riesce a non piangere....testo e musica magnifici

[@TheFusedplug]

This song actually frightens me. The entire album pulled some parts of me onto the shore.. i need rest.

[@michaelskurski912]

It is an emotionally draining record to listen to

[@erika.d777]

This song is superb!.....

[@laluna5177]

LOVE this song...but still wished it was a bit longer. Could do with one more verse and chorus

[@michaelkline646]

So beautiful. Thank you Blur.

[@ollieman3343]

Thanks Blur for Classic Adventure in time I'll be Vinyl on Repeat ❤😂

[@ST4RSH4P3D]

I LOVE THIS WHOLE ALBUM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BLESSING US W THIS 🙏🙏🙏

[@aithana7395]

ESTOY LLORANDO MUY FUERTE 😭😭😭

[@nathannowicki5336]

Whole album is amazing but this is by far the best track of the album for me! Love it 😊

[@AndreLuis-pn1gi]

THIS IS ART

[@henrystevanin2140]

Blur Forever ❤

[@TheKleinkraft]

How dare you break my heart over and over again 😭 This song is perfection! Thank you! 🫶🏻

[@prismonthethehorizon5793]

We're a flash in the pan but we can feel it big time whilst we experience it! ❤

[@nobodiesband]

If the experience is all we'll ever know, isn't the before & after us the real flashes in the pan? When people say our lives our completely insignificant blips when stood against eternity, I would say that our lives are all that is significant & the before / after are the insignificant blips. Idk I think about this stuff nearly 24/7 & tryna find the right mindset to not worry & just be present & truly savor the experience

[@prismonthethehorizon5793]

​​cool, never thought of it like that...mmm 🤔 I've always thought of the unseen as the eternal where there's nothing to worry about because we just recycle back into it and we come to this life as a soul to experience the material form but in comparison to eternity that's just a momentary thing and we need to appreciate and experience everything in it's entirety because the only guarantee that we have in life is that it doesn't last forever, nothing does. I think life is a beautiful thing to be appreciated in whatever form it takes. Worrying about our inevitable exit from the world is only natural from our human conscious perspective as we over think our experience. You've just got to appreciate the small things, if you're in good health, your health but a sunset, a butterfly, a pattern in the clouds a rainbow they're all gifts...noone knows what happens after death but it comes for all of us so we need to let go and make peace with it. I'm probably being naive but there's nothing we can do about it except appreciate each day we have breath...some of my friends died young and I can only appreciate the fact that life is a delicate thing. All you can do is try to live out your expression in it's fullest form and if you have a life mission try to fulfill it, you'll have less time to worry about it. Hope that thought form helps a little bit? Anyway sending you hugs💗 🤗🤗🤗

[@waineferguson9343]

i like the Blur Beatles Oasis bit at the end

[@stussysinglet]

Add the Verve too

[@credenceia3572]

Thank God for Blur's music.

[@michaelskurski912]

You can hear Damon's heart crying out in the songs on this album

[@joedlx]

Sounds a little bit David Bowie and it's incredibly goosebumps

[@laddz6224]

thank you boys

[@aretivirtue5609]

I've seen Damon in my dream before some days and they released a new album 🎉 ❤

[@evadekool4246]

momentarily suspended in the mushroom spore print...and then...eternity dissolving back into silence... "In his book I Am That, Nisargadatta Maharaj said, "The world can be said to appear, but not to be. The appearance may last very long on some scale of time, and be very short on another, but ultimately it comes to the same. Whatever is time bound is momentary and has no reality'."

[@SkurkSE]

Amazing mr albarn and crew. A crazy good bookending of the album.. ..thanks for making my summer

[@lucianogoyenechea8704]

Having listened to the LP for a week, giving it time to bed-in. This is the best song on the LP for me.

Wow! This just broke me. Thought about my brother who we lost 10 months ago.
