I can't remember the last time a song gave me goosebumps. I can't believe just how incredibly beautiful the chorus is, that contrast between an upbeat, uplifting melody and the crushingly sad lyrics. This is a masterpiece.

​@@matthewbest6077 It's called ironicus melodious. Barbaric means one thing, yet sounds like another.

Who blinks first? You're gonna win The fallen doves of lovers' vows In the world all around us And I'd like, if you've got the time To talk to you about what this breakup has done to me I have lost the feeling that I thought I'd never lose Now where am I going? At what cost, the feeling that I thought I'd never lose Now you can't play to every taste The powder keg of common cause All of us carry trauma And in owe of an explanation I will pour oil from the cup on the pyre of abdication You have lost The feeling that you thought you'd never lose Now wherе are you going, darling? At what cost, the feeling that you thought you'd nevеr lose And it is barbaric Empty grove, winter darkness We're taking down the scaffolds very soon Grow dappled, the lonely baubles on the plane tree The can of soup and heating up to ten Which leads me to the part Where we agreed on different dreams That we had lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose Now where are we going? At what cost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose It is barbaric We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose Now where are we going? We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose It is barbaric, darling We have lost the feeling that we thought we'd never lose Now where are we going? We have lost, the feeling that we thought we'd never lose It is barbaric

No one does happy/sad like blur. Beautiful song

Brilliant joyful sadness. It’s a great song from a great album.

This sounds like the Blur I fell in love with back in the 1990s. Well done, fellas.

"I have lost, the feeling that I thought I never lose". Joder, que gran canción y que gran álbum se marcó Damon y compañía. A pesar de que la canción pueda ser romántica, o no, acerca del fin de una relación, yo siento que a mí me habla de otra cosa. Perdimos ese sentimiento que pensamos que nunca íbamos a perder. Para mi ese sentimiento es el significado de la vida. Siento que como generación hemos perdido el camino, que todos vamos por ahí sin rumbo, perdimos la alegría, ese sentimiento, esa emotividad, esa llama de esperanza, esa rebeldía en cierta forma. Conforme pasan los años y nos volvemos viejos, cada vez lo que alguna vez le dábamos significado deja de tenerlo, ya no lo valoramos como antes. Y a pesar de que en mi caso fue algo bueno para mejora personal, siento que al perder todo lo que alguna vez me gustaba, lo que pensaba, lo que predicaba, y por lo que luchaba, ha hecho que no me queden motivos para seguir. No sé, llámenme romántico o alguna otra cosa, pero siento que las cosas son así desde mi opinión. Que gran álbum de Blur, un álbum altamente melancólico, reflexivo, tranquilo, que es justo lo que necesitaba. Pero eso sí, con unos ritmos para mover el esqueleto aunque sea un rato. Un abrazo a todos

La generación actual está siendo arruinada por la adicción al internet, los algoritmos y la inmediatez. Alguna vez traté de buscarle las 3 patas al gato con ese asunto, pero me di cuenta que sólo basta vivir para sentirse vivo. La vida nunca ha perdido su sentido, es sólo que es difícil verlo con una pantalla enfrente.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG! ❤️

So happy to be there absolutely beautiful and perfect performance or a beautiful song

I got into Blur through Modern Life is Rubbish and Parklife in the mid 90s. And I've been following everything everyone of them has done since then. So much brilliant music. And they keep producing and producing. Not just Damon (please check The Waeve as well and Dave's solo debut). And while later tracks like "Fool's Day" and "Under the Westway" are some of my absolute favourite Blur songs, I honestly did not think that I could be this enthusiastic about a Blur album again. It's amazing, and it keeps growing and growing on me. How can a band that has existed for 35 years release such a fresh, relevant and brilliant album? Just having bought my first record player, I even had to order the zoetrope vinyl version. I urge everyone to listen to the whole album!

Welcome back, my friends, the World missed you.
