Fave songs: "The Universal" by Blur

My favorite Blur song.

This is the video remember. I dunno if Damon Albarn's cane is just a prop or for real (more likely a prop, though).



This is the official video. I only discovered it through YouTube today.


And this is a lovely lovely live version, with Damon Albarn looking extra dreamy.


The song's got many things I love:
- Simple but contemplative lyrics
- Britpop with strings and horns
- A hot Englishman playing the piano =D

"THE UNIVERSAL"

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
Although the words are wrong

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

No one here is alone, satellites in every home
Yes the universal's here, here for everyone
Every paper that you read
Says tomorrow is your lucky day
Well, here's your lucky day

It really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Well, it really, really, really could happen
Yes, it really, really, really could happen
When the days they seem to fall through you, well just let them go

Just let them go
