Can't believe how many amazing songs British bands would use as b-sides back in the early nineties: Mr. Briggs, Inertia, Luminous(Blur), Sennen, Howard Hughes(Ride), Going Down, What the World is Waiting For, Where Angels Play, Something's Burning(The Stone Roses), etc. Insanely good stuff, all released as b-sides.
I just found the song from No Distance Left To Run. That documentry has made me see why Blur are so big. However i'm also a big oasis fan but The Stone Roses will always be my faviourite. This is a great song though. You can hear alot of Roses songs here, especially with the guitar sounds, and some vocals. Great Song.
I heard this on Starshaped and now I cant stop listening to it. It's a shame that some are their best songs are b-sides. They all need to be put on albums! I'm 12 years old and MAD about Bur :) Best band ever!
I feel like this about Blur...underrated! They are special. Hall of fame band. They'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry. We need a new album desparately.
this song gives me goosebumps!!!! damons voice is soooo sexy!!! I have loved him since I was 14 I am 30!!!! Hyde park rocked!!! one of my favs is no distance!!!! Love him got his face tattoed on my leg, and BLUR on my neck!!!!
Lovely song : i can't stop listening to this, there's something special with the rythm, voices, this good bass line.. first time i heard it, i found it awesome !!!! and still now :D
I love these b side playlists. Not only because the music is amazing (that goes without saying) but also because it's free of annoying Oasis fans who make stupid comments on other Blur videos. :)
I really like this b-side it gave me shivers when I first heard it, it reminds me of all those nights where its 10 past 3 in the mourning and I just can't get back to sleep
this was on the startshpaed video, just as the internet was coming about (95-96?!) i remember rubbing my knees raw trying to find it in grubby record shops all over NY and MSP. this is an awesome song and should have been an album track rather than a b-side for sure. thanks for the vid.
I don't know why the media compares Blur to Oasis... They are the same genre but sound different. Blur sounds more like early Pink FLoyd and Syd barret and Oasis sounds just... idk not as good I suppose
i know, Blur songs are different, they are nice people, and their songs are the best ive ever heard, whereas Oasis songs are all the same, they are arseholes, and theyre sonsg arent the best in the world........wheres the camparison?
@blblblou23 they compared them because they were big around the same time. And if blur is Floyd then that makes Oasis the beatles... (burns self with lighter)
@AOCRkid I think the Beatles were about constant change and evolution, and Oasis kind of stayed the same throughout their career. I don't think they are bad, just not as good as Blur.
i havent heard this song in about 15 year, my bro had the no other way single and i used to listen to it , i would have been about 9 ,that there has fucked my head up
from 2.47 wall of sound!!! EPIC

They played it live in the early days. Then they brought it back and played it a few times around about the time of the Blur album 97-98.
