About Blur:
Blur were formed in 1989 by Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree and signed with Food/EMI the same year. Announcing their arrival with debut album Leisure in 1991, Blur continued to revolutionise the sound of English popular music with second release Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). Five successive UK #1 albums followed - with Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995) helping to propel the band to mass popularity in the UK and beyond. The eponymous Blur was released in 1997 and seventh album Think Tank (2003) was Blur’s first as a three-piece after the temporary departure of founding guitarist Graham Coxon.

Twenty one years after the release of their debut album, 2012 saw Blur 21: The Box, the band's body of work compiled and gathered together into one box. Their most recent release as a four-piece, the critically acclaimed chart-topping album The Magic Whip (2015), started life in Hong Kong when the band had an unexpected break in touring in May 2013.

The way Damon is staring into my soul is uncomfortable yet charming. I love him for that.

Graham Coxon, one of the most underrated guitarists

[mmtz]

You can't get tired of this song, seriously

[ivanoliveira]

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!"

[jimjonesthreethousand]

Who's ACTUALLY here for the song? Gee, you people need to appreciate the great music of Blur and not just Damon's incredibly dreamy and mesmerizing gaze that gives you the warm fuzzies...

[megan-wjgh]

yeah damon's fit, but this is genuinely one of the best song's they've ever produced. so amazing

[schild]

alex's cigarette uncensored, essex visibly written on damon's guitar, the colors being brighter and damon's look being even stronger.... omg i feel like i've rediscovered a masterpiece

[Gumbo]

Always loved Alex James‘ bass playing. Hugely underrated musician.

"Beetlebum"

Beetlebum
What you've done
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
Get nothing done
You beetlebum just get numb
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
Nothing is wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

Beetlebum
Because you're young
She's a gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum
She'll suck your thumb
She'll make you come
'Cause she's your gun
Now what you've done
Beetlebum

And when she lets me slip away
She turns me on all my violence is gone
Nothing is wrong
I just slip away and I am gone
There's nothing wrong
She turns me on
I just slip away and I am gone

He's on, he's on, he's on it [8x]

Noel and Liams favourite Blur song. At least they both can agree on that.

[MateoTierno]

Imagine being Damon, not only you're handsome but also talented af and frontman of 2 really big bands

[adiblima]

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

[sabilalmuhtadin]

Guys can u pls stop commenting about Damon
I'm trying find the lyrics on this comments

[seangrey]

God, his stare is so mesmerizing. I feel like he's staring right into my soul, my life, everything I've gone through, all the hurt, the love the fun times. Almost like his stare makes you freeze in time. 😶

[maddiehamilton]

Am I the only one who melts when I look at Damon's eyes in this video? No?

[ChainNonSmoker]

People realize how genius this song is?

It's alternative rock at it's peak, it's super 90s but yet it's timeless, stylewise there'a influences both british and american.
It's catchy but it's unique. 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.

[zy]

The sound of Blur is the one that has aged best of the English 90's bands.

[juniwilliams]

I miss britpop: Blur, Oasis, Pulp, The Verve, Supergrass, Cast, Placebo, Space, Sleeper and Elastica.... I feel bad for anyone who missed out on this beautiful era. I remember listening to both Oasis and blur at glustonbury. fucking magical. I was only 12, but I loved it.

[nical]

To me, this will always be their musical masterpiece. Graham Coxon makes a guitar whale and cry in such a unique way and Damon's singing and vulnerability is off the charts. Definitely my fave song of all time.

[BrandonShere]

Something about the end of this music video feels so timeless. How he stands at the window as the camera shows the surrounding grungy 90's environment around them. It's almost like the video steps through your screen.
