blur - The Narcissist (BBC Radio 2 In Concert)

blur perform 'The Narcissist' In Concert for BBC Radio 2

My girlfriend passed away very suddenly a couple of weeks ago and I was on my own in a bar drinking...and this song came on, which I hadn't heard before. Blur were my favourite band as a child but hadn't listened to them in a years. Hearing an old familiar voice singing a beautiful song like this was so special, like an old friend reaching out to you when you need it the most.

[bonohewson]

In my humble opinion, for me it is one of the best songs written by blur, perfect lyrics and melody...

[garethjones]

One of, if not the, best Blur song. Thinking man’s pop.

[PantheonLincoln]

I don't know why, but I love that Damon is playing one of Graham's signature Fender telecasters.

[simoncole]

This song is the ultimate grower. Was underwhelmed the first time I heard it and has just gradually got better and better. Absolutely love it now

[tomwilko]

Damon had so much success as a young man that his confidence, naturally, bordered on arrogance...seeing him transform back into humility over time, despite continued success, is perhaps the most satisfying of all the blur narratives...i rate this song so highly, it's brilliant

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

It’s fucking crazy how good they still are.

[karlneale]

This song is class! Never been a huge blur fan. This song is genius 👏

[owen]

Who can believe after all these years this is the best stuff they have ever put out....

[huwbradbury]

The more I hear this song, the more I love it.

[tiredrich]

This track is an all time Blur classic

[peaceofpiety]

When this song was first released on Spotify, I was shocked to see Damon was recording new Blur tracks when I had been to a Gorillaz concert just a few months prior. Even more surprised when Blur released the next song. Triple blown away when seeing Blur was touring. Does Damon ever rest? His soul is so full of Divine frequency; constantly creating. This track is excellent. Thanks, Blur! ❤

Looked in the mirror
So many people standing there
I walked towards them
Into the floodlights
I heard no echo (no echo)
There was distortion everywhere (everywhere)
I found my ego (my ego)
I felt rubato standing there
Found my transcendence (transcendence)
It played in mono-painted blue (painted blue)
You were the Pierrot (the Pierrot)
I was the dark room (the dark room)
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (in your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed, I'll heed the signs
I saw the solstice (the solstice)
The service station on the road (on the road)
I took the acid (the acid)
Under the white horses (the road)
My heart, it quickened (it quickened)
I could not tear myself away (myself away)
Became addiction (addiction)
If you see darkness, look away (look away)
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (look away)
You'll probably shine it back on me
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
Oh, glorious world (glorious)
Oh, potent waves, valleys gone wild (potent waves)
Connect us to love (us to love)
And keep us peaceful for a while (for a while)
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (for a while)
You'll probably shine it back on me (for a while)
Yet I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
I'ma shine a light in your eyes (in your eyes, in your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me (in your eyes)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs

My 3 yr old loves the chorus and sings along with me when i played this. My first love was Blur and 30 years later it seems he is following into his dads footsteps.

[gregblackwell]

One of the best songs I've heard in decades.

[DDVlogAR]

I live in Argentina. I was stuck on traffic a couple of weeks ago. Scrolling apple music I found that Blur released a new record. I have listened to it many times, and has brought so much memories. Since then, I started to listen all Blur's records, every day. All that music was my companion through university and so much more. From the bottom of my heart, I love those guys. I'm so grateful for all the music they have managed to land in my heart and soul.

[JasonCarroll-qjrn]

That song is an absolute masterpiece. I love it .

[adriannademadriguera]
