Damon Albarn - The Universal (Live in Matera 2019)

Piano version of Blur's The Universal live in Matera, Italy.

[jamescaldwell]

One of the greatest songs ever written. Nice to hear a stripped down version from Damon.

I'm crying I'm 63 loved blur from the start...hug me someone x

[andrewjohnston]

I remember vividly when this song was in the charts Christmas 1995, what a fuckin brilliant time man.

Quanto spreco immenso. Uno dei piu' grandi artisti della storia inglese dinanzi ad un pubblico ignorante e quasi tutto di caproni ignoranti (che non parlano inglese).
Non mi capacito del perchè Demon sia finito li'. Tra l'altro Matera è un gioiello mondiale, peccato per il pubblico. Si meritavano Fedez o Al Bano.

Probably one of the most beautiful song of all time 💔

"This is the next century where the universal's free
You can find it anywhere, yes, the future has been sold
Every night we're gone and to karaoke songs
How we like to sing along though the words are wrong...
...no one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes, the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read says tomorrow's your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day."
Grazie signor Damon Albarn.

As a massive Oasis fan, can I just just say that this is one of the most amazingly beautiful songs from the era. Bless.

Amo questo artista, perché ha saputo attraversare forse più di 30 anni, mantenendo uno stile impeccabile ed una sensibilità speciale verso il mondo che lo circondava....Complimenti! Damon

The man is a legend .. his brain is a musical sponge.. he can only re create what he hears as a child!
That’s my story and im sticking to it!
Unbelievable brain!

[wenpinuminarto]

I really never thought when Damon get old, he would look like an Elton John ... Blur is a legend tho

[DanDanCOYS]

He really had a generational voice. Let alone the songs he wrote. We just didn’t realise how great blur and Damon are!

[Healyourbodysoulandmind]

All-round charming man, good looking, pleasant guy, great voice, squeaky clean reputation, the legend of Blur music will go on forever. Always made me smile in the video when he was wearing eyeliner with his dodgy teeth lol. Still hear his distinct London accent....

[satriowicaksono]

I remember MTV Music award 95, ends up with Damon lying down at the floor. Awesome

[jamesdooley]

This song speaks massive to the times we live in now….. the future has been sold…..

[JustinSmith-kveg]

Sold my fender gemini to see you in paris many years ago . It was so worth it . This is beautiful, thankyou Damon x

[meltemd]

The look on his face.. Ma gawd. This amazing voice, the works he had done.. Amazing. Just amazing. And he is also such a sweet human being. I am YUGE fan.

[chrismorrison]

I am in tears. 
Who knew this song could become even more intimately beautiful than the album version?

[hecker]

Esta cancion es sin duda la mejor de blur

[eccremocarpusscaber]

Fuck, this makes me feel old. I had a lot of fun when Britpop was kicking off. Good times mate.

[andyhair]

Oh my. I've just fallen in love with that song all over again. That was spellbinding
