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.

This has got to be one of the best songs ever made

[gdubtub.]

Late to the party here - 65 year old Yank who somehow missed the fact that Blur was one of the best bands of all time. Am very happy to have recently had that insight.

[celestewilliams]

I saw Blur for the very first time, on Sunday, at Wembley.

I'm still emotional now, from it. I was cool as a cat on the day and night of seeing Weller and Blur (I missed The Selecter) - but it is still hitting me, four days on.

[jesselaurencemusic]

One of the greatest songs ever written and composed.

[Nately]

They should put this and the entire album in the British Museum for future generations to hear. A work of art.❤

[Phitoland]

c'mon graham that solo is just flawless, what an amazing band

[snapsnappist]

Beautiful, blissful, hallucinatory psychedelia - the kind that Syd Barratt or Lennon and McCartney would have been proud to have produced in '67. Arguably Blur's crowning achievement. Happy 30th birthday, Parklife.

[zwartepiet]

parklife is one of those rare albums in the history of music where every song is a classic.

[terencemeikle]

Confirmation: Damon Albarn and his band moved into the very top league with this poetical, visionary epic. Absolutely, breathlessly brilliant! 👌

[juanbasurto]

DAMON. You are such a gentle soul. I love you.

[alexjohnson]

30 years later and it still sounds fresh

[sevenconds]

Graham's guitar in this song is amazing

[noneofthet]

And into the sea
Goes pretty England and me
Around the bay of Biscay
And back for tea
Hit traffic on the dogger bank
Up the Thames to find a taxi rank
Sail on by with the tide
And go to sleep
And the radio says

This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

Up the Tyne, Forth and Cramity
There's a low in the high forties
Saturday's locked away on the pier
Not fast enough, dear
And on the malin head
Blackpool looks blue and red
And the queen, she's gone round the bend
Jumped off Land's End
And the radio says

This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
This is a low
But it won't hurt you
When you're alone
It will be there with you
Finding ways to stay solo

[james-alexanderjohnson]

Verses, esoteric, British, the chorus a howl of euphoric melancholy.

[gordonstoton]

My fave Blur song and has such meaning, Its the shipping weather forecast references and a ton of emotional innuendos. Not to mention a spine tingling guitar solo. Its complete musically for me and I want it played at my funeral.

[orangetemp]

Amazing Guitar
Reversed Drumming

[mgthestrange]

All rise for the U.K. national anthem. 🇬🇧

Seriously though, this song makes me feel oddly patriotic for this beautiful little group of islands. ❤️🤍💙

[astrobear]

This song has always given me chills. One of my favourites

[standenberg]

This is the best Blur song ever! I knew it in 1994 & I certainly know it now. It's got everything.

[SlackrUk]

Such a beautiful song, an exceptional piece of poetry, and Graham's guitar playing is gorgeous.
