Blur The Universal Live Jools Holland 1995

[@heindlwest]

Damn his voice can go into hypnotic-cello mode. So cool.

my favorite blur song.

Mine too

Mine too ❤

[@rudypalmer6511]

Not only you brother...this is our Favorite blur song...one of the best song ever made....masterpiece

[@COS947-o2t]

Mine too

[@riomokoginto332]

Like my friends said, this is not a song, this is better, this is an anthem

[@Boricua3lions1985]

Loved this song for ages. It helped me get through the pandemic and the lockdown in 2020.

[@SpudWil]

Marvellous. Taken me a long time to come round to Blur, but a love in middle-age is the most enduring kind...

[@adriantyler6911]

True for me too, wasn't sure how to say it but you did it for me........

[@stevendenny7260]

Actually me too. Found some of their stuff ok, but seems to have matured... along with myself...!!!

[@ashcroftemma]

Me too! Remember dating a guy in Colchester who said his lecturer was Damon Albarn's Dad and I was like meh from 1991 to 2024. Fell in love with them hard this year! And it's true, true love!!

[@monicamerle1417]

The Universal, the song and video that made me fall in love with Blur remains my favorite to this day. And they've written several masterpieces❤

[@DanDanCOYS]

Damon’s voice is just amazing. This is one of my all time favourite songs. It’s a masterpiece

[@blurry67]

I'd be hard pushed to choose my #1 Blur song, but if I really really had to... this one. Normally the last they play live and it chokes me EVERY time, no matter how many times I see them playing it. And I've seen them a fair few times!

[@darrenwalshe8513]

This n end of a century xx

[@kevincassidy2008]

Oh my god!!! This takes me back to when it was always summer and life was happy.

[@wearethemags6613]

The best Blur song. A beautiful song, beautifully performed.

[@CMDR_Verm]

As a 62 year old man this song fills me with hope that we might see through the bullshit, but makes me weep because we haven't yet.

[@Riviere8281]

I've listened this song so many times but everytime I'm listening again breaks my heart in two, love you 4EVER blur

[@ardianacomia2764]

it breaks my heart to see damon display a persona to deflect his emotions

[@Fakename70]

Hyde Park, 2012 was pretty gut-wrenching.

[@draft1643]

damon was a pretty charismatic frontman. being too transparent/sincere can often be boring from the pov of the audience.

[@Fakename70]

+draft 16 Sums up Vedder perfectly for me. His act frequently seems contrived and rehearsed to me. That people fill stadiums to see this guy boggles the mind.

[@chrispalin4043]

Fakename70 you must be fun, at parties, mate 😂

[@EugeneAxe]

I love how Damon sings an epic masterpiece while looking like he just came back from a soccer match.

[@noursarhan8695]

I know right hahaha

[@taurangasurf]

….they think it’s all over….it is now.⚽️

[@kevincassidy2008]

@fensterfred Soccer Saturday, Soccer am. We use the term soccer when we feel like it but when others (mainly Americans) use it we tend to get all upperty. It’s actually a word spawned on these shores….it comes from association in association football.

[@antoanto7236]

crying as always with this beautiful song, thank you Damon, thank you Blur for this work of art

[@chrispalin4043]

He perfectly predicted how superficial and shallow the world was about to become 👍

[@mrpwnen]

Cj M its been like this for centuries man lol

[@kelechic.jemelumba9981]

Cj M hardly a prediction, the world has always being this way

[@ilakemybike]

NostraBLURus ! They came from the future !

[@michaelairley2015]

I said in 2017 that the internet was going to be really big.

[@isamel9353]

The song is about the masive media control and the new world order

[@darrenp2225]

Well that was really really really awesome. Simply a masterpiece.

Mi adolescencia, mi juventud es Blur y Oasis, y los dos son increibles

[@BriguyO]

Just a gorgeous rendition. Later with Jools Holland always seemed to bring out the best performances in artists. Pretty ballsy to assemble and arrange all that for a stint on a BBC TV programme. I remember seeing Pulp do "I Spy" that year late(r) one night and it stopped me in my tracks. Bravo.

The classical instruments are what make this song.

[@childishtombino1275]

@@Eleventhearlofmars plus his guitar is very audible anyway..

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Mr.Someone sometimes people don’t listen to things properly or they’re listening through bloody awful headphones. Investing in a very good set of headphones is the way to go imo. I know headphones are very subjective but I find myself going back to bowers and Wilkins P7 , they seem to have the soundstage that suits my listening preferences although I do have five different sets of headphones depending on what I’m listening to lol.

[@childishtombino1275]

@@Eleventhearlofmars I have Beyerdynamic DT770 pros, probably the best headphones i've ever owned. Still yet to explore others, maybe once i have more money lmao.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Mr.Someone yep they’re a nice set of cans you have, I’m done with wires personally now though because the wireless headphones tech has certainly moved forward recently, I do have a wired set of cans but haven’t used them for time.

[@mikeodriscoll1992]

listen to the Joe Dolan version brilliant ( Jools Holland gave him this song as the best version he had ever heard ) in memory of Joe RIP.

[@colinbassett1303]

Totally amazing

just so good.

[@joeyrossiter3763]

I love every part of this song, but around 1:55 he starts sounding like Bowie ❤️

[@monicamerle1417]

Well, I take that as a compliment

[@jopieheesters5919]

that little mistake dave makes at 1:48 with alex immediately turning his head to him "wtf are you doing man" is 10/10 real band stuff

[@damienlott]

I wouldn't call that a mistake!! But true that Alex had zero tolerance for variations in the groove!! 😂😂

Just so we're all clear, Blur won. Right?

Yes

As much as I like Blur, Oasis wins hands down

[@matts1234]

In reality, maybe not by the popularity mark but sometimes that’s good

[@matts1234]

If we’re really sayin it, oasis did win, Damon even said it, but in the end Damon won because gorillaz became bigger than oasis ever could
