this song has the best outro ever. few songs end smoothly and nostalgic at the same time, incredible work. Best blur song.

Noel Gallagher: "If there was one song from Blur that I could make my own, I would pick Beetlebum. That song could have been written by The Beatles, that's how good it is!"

I hope this is an actual Noel Gallagher quote... considering how condescending him and Liam usually are, it is quite refreshing to hear him say something nice for once! They should do so more often!

The riff, the melody, the soundscape. I used to be a latecomer to Blur fandom, but now diggin' this song for about 20 years I finally see it.

They're only remastering videos from "Blur" (1997). "Song 2" has got remastered. I'm guessing "On Your Own" and "M.O.R." will get remastered as well.

@@vanivanita Chasing the beetle is just another variation on chasing the dragon. Smoking smack, basically. The gear turns into a small black dot on the foil, which you move around and 'chase' with a rolled up piece of paper for inhaling. So yeah. In this context, a beetlebum is just a poetic term for a junkie. "Just get numb".

"Beetlebum by Blur. it's the best britpop song. A superb song. Twenty years ago this choice would have been widely commented on, I agree. But I'm sincere, it sounds like The Beatles. It could have its place on The White Album, it's that brilliant. And I love what Damon is doing with Gorillaz just as much." ~ Noel Gallagher

i have to agree with you. i really hear the Beatles vibe in this song, but so original at the same time

[@superfast_jellyfish02]

I just started listening to this song today and Blur a couple of days ago. I’ve known about them for a while and decided to give them a listen. This song… man… it has a weird affect on me. It gives me this sort of nostalgia for some reason, and I don’t know why. I’ve listened to it at least 4 or 5 times today, and I cried the 4th time. It makes me sad… yet happy. The song is just so amazing and then Damon and his incredible dreaminess just tops it all off. And Graham’s incredible guitar playing…and the “oooooOOooooooo” part. Don’t even get me started on the ending… thats everything for me . Maybe its that Damon kinda sounds and looks really sad in this video to me. I don’t know. The song makes me feel as if missing someone or something and its to late to go back it cause its all gone… its really really weird and sad and happy in a way and ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! All I know right now is that this is one of the most incredible songs i’ve ever heard in my entire life.

Still one of my favourite songs of theirs. I'm sure it's been mentioned before somewhere but at the bit from 04:03, when Damon looks out the window and the camera starts to pan away from the building, it's as if the video is saying goodbye to that era of "Britpop" although of course the real end to that scene didn't come for another 7 or 8 months after this song came out.
