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.

For everyone wondering why Alex is just wandering around in the background, not playing bass: he’s on his own.

[hasenaali]

I love how Alex's role in this video is just to stand there and look cool :)

[empirestateinmind]

Alex is just walking around thinking about his future career in cheese making...

[ghosttundra]

Why is literally every member so perfect in this video
Alex just being cool with sunglasses
Damon being Damon
Graham playing the guitar without a care
Dave pressing those little buttons in the drum machine in a hole and trying to be rescued by other members
Idk why but it's just so good

[alarbu]

alex: uh hey i don't play bass in this song what should i do
director: um just stand there and look cool

[TripFontaine]

This is one of the great fun-to-shout-along-with choruses of all time.

[vymmas]

One of my favourite blur songs. Very underrated.

[sianfrances]

Don't blur just look like the most fun to hang with

[NothingThereAnymore]

lol alex james doesnt touch a bass for the entire video and still manages to remain one of the best bass players ever.

[novastargazer]

no but im confused
1) why is damon wearing a flower pot
2) why does graham look shady af
3) why is dave in a hole
4) what is alex doing

[nomaddd]

I love how Alex is largely absent for almost all of this lurking around casually

[elisserein]

I wonder what they were thinking when they gave Damon that hat.

He looks like a breakdancing marshmallow.

[tomkelly]

Also the smile he does after "lemonade" omg

[reysolph]

According to Damon Albarn, he considers the song to be “one of the first ever Gorillaz tunes.” Not to be confused with the first released Gorillaz song, Tomorrow Comes Today or the first recorded Gorillaz song, Ghost Train.

Been on a bit of a blur marathon this morning. They really did write a lot of great songs, and this is one of them.

[bananayummyable]

the 90's was the BEST time for music, in my opinion

[kellysmelly]

i love how they just locked dave up in a tiny box #justiceforgingers

[stunash]

how can anyone dislike this absolute classic!?

[sufiai]

I’m struggling to accept the fact that Damon turns 50 this month

[novastargazer]

everyone’s talking about damon but i’m here loving the way graham just starts hitting his guitar at around 2:15
