    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.

    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! ❤

    Life is short and I think once you get to 50 life around you reinforces what you put to the back of your mind your youth...rightfully so too. Damon probably wants to be as creative as he can in his chosen musical career as time allows.

    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.

Some of the most bland and generic songwriting in contemporary rock music, anchored by absolutely irritating vocals. The ongoing feud between the two brothers, was the only remotely interesting thing about them, and even that got tiresome after while, with them coming across like incredibly petulant children.

    Goosebumps every time. A perfect meditation on performance, devoid of the usual self-pity such songs usually contain. No, 'oh, woe is me," simply "here's what I've done, and here's what I've learned," without condescension or regret. It's as good a song as Blur's ever written, and it's certainly the best rock song I've heard so far in 2023. This record makes me happy.

    I was never into blur in the 90s but this song has made me an instant fan, over and over from the first listen. Probably on 50 replays now. Masterpiece 👍
