Blur - No Distance Left To Run (Jools Holland 1999)

[gjw000]

definitely one of britains best ever bands, (so far)

[smeglamaniac]

Makes me see and feel the hole inside, you make me smile you make me cry, wish you could be mine :(

[crst88]

what's the brand of glasses?

[glosoly]

@crst88 I want to know too. If you find the brand, please let me now :D

[elsylovesplacebo]

This song makes me cry.

[EmilyMantis]

he looks so sad here... poor Damon, you won't have to run any distance away from me! Why would anyone want to end it with him???

[samuray1000000]

esta cancion es asombrosa

this song is awesome, the best of blur

[lizdl88]

It's over...! I love the way he sings this song, it's amazing the feeling that he transmits every time he sings it.

[066correcaminos]

qué letra tan triste... pero precisa D:

[mantoocha]

I just broke up with my girlfriend. We had so many good times, just hanging around, the lovemaking, everything was beautiful.

I found out that she was cheating on me, all her promises went to the trash.

At first I was even trying to forgive her but, "I won't kill myself trying to stay in her life".

Thanks Blur for explaining the unexplainable for me.

[MyVincenta]

@mantoocha fekin shlllaggg .

[britpop4]

sad

[marta3t6fox2]

great video and this song is my favorite music of Blur, thanks for sharing!!!!

[Cozza399]

Justine's a very silly girl....WHO would want to leave this man?!?!? Who in their right mind? He's beautiful :-)

[madcap2x]

@Cozza399 I don't know why they broke up but it probably had to do with drugs. Looking at Justine these days it looks like she has been doing heroin since she was about 14

[riquebq]

@legendmetal50 yes, this is what i was thinking

[tedstelz44]

This song should never be forgotten......

[legendmetal50]

In Other Words ..................

Go

You Play With Me

Fuck You

Don't Come Back

I Better Without You .i.

[hankwilliamsgirl]

This is music.........

[riquebq]

awesome video and congrats, an amazing description

[Colliermoose]

So annoying how I grew up in the 90s but only started getting interested in music a year ago.

[liverpool2878]

fuckin tune,now then n always,our kids kids will love this

[MyRanita97]

I honestly think this is one of Blur's best performances, every time I see this video, and watch/ listen Damon's voice, it makes me cry.

[LikkleFreakie]

I love how in Damons voice you can hear his vunrability and how he feels so hopeless just like the lyrics

[Eeli2008]

Damon knows how to use his voice very well, which varies from song to song. One might not describe it as perfect, but it's the hoarse and broken part that makes it so special and fit into a particular tune.

[borokingad]

Can relate to this song so much at the moment. It can make u so sad yet uplifting at the same time. I think knowing the actual meaning of this song makes it all the more amazing.

[Hfsm33]

By listening to this I realize how much Blur were ahead of Oasis. Oasis = recycled stuff from already recycled music. Ever since 1994.

[ashcrofts1]

an amazing break up song.............. I used it in 2003....... it was great beating myself up to this song............. It was Tahiti 2003, was dating a girl from sicilly, she had one hell of a temper........... jack daniels and coke and this song got me through it, dating a much better looking girl now...... :o)

[wenkobain]

Special for someone...Don't waste your time ^^

[WOLVOSTONER]

blur were just imense...

[LoztInMars]

This is truly amazing, such a wonderful song and incredible performance.

Damon just puts all his heart in the lyrics.

[HighFidelityRob]

this song hits that shitty feeling spot on. perfect.

[hazyskyline]

One of the best performances of this song... Just incredible. 

[nanoradiohead]

este tema es de la puta madre, pa quedar cagado una semana !! oasis live forever !!

[13Knives1]

I suppose listening to this and looking at pictures of your ex girlfriend and her new boyfriend isn't exactly what you would call "healthy" behavior?

[AnIntangibleBadge]

Justine Frischmann mentioned in an interview that she cried uncontrollably after watching this performance on TV because she saw how much her behavior had hurt Damon and how much she had lost.

[13Knives1]

@AnIntangibleBadge Good.... bitch....

[vampiwerbowy]

@AnIntangibleBadge this song is about justine Frischmann.¿? how you know this.?

[AnIntangibleBadge]

@vampiwerbowy It's very well known that it is and very obvious.

[cockneymcfadden1979]

@vampiwerbowy she herself has made comment that if he put as much effort into the relationship as he did writing about the breakup it probably would not have happened

Still, its a top tune and as ashcrofts1 says, its great to beat yourself up to

[EmilyMantis]

@AnIntangibleBadge is the interview on here?

[lectoro]

esta cancion es de akellas, que escuchas bajo la lluvia y speras su respuesta de alguien, aunke sabes cual s

es bella!!

[bentheled]

Coxons talent really shines through on this song

[CharlesGardel]

That's the fuc... way

[johnm1978otsman]

In my opinion Graham Coxon is the best guitarist since the 60's. Also realy like Johnny Marr, but if I could play a guitar I would rather play it like Graham. His melodies are the best..

[DanTheManFantastic90]

very satisfying falsetto there

[eviltypist]

one of the best!

[charlottegc]

he looked rlly sad

[herbert3636]

fucking amazing

fucking great

[Sole7Racing]

Please

Turn your back and walk away

[yungl1nk]

those glasses kick soo much ass

[ferdinandelfacho]

fu**ing GREAAT!!

[terleer]

Oh... his great!

Just interesting... what kind of sunglasses he put on? It's seem like Ray Ban caran, but think it's not.

[MartesMacFLY]

los amo !!!!

[coltsuperocean10]

Such a fantastic band, brilliant song writers and performers. i just dont understand why the rivalry with oasis? oasis were at best, average status quo/ slade cover band. Blur are simply awesome. Oasis, not so much.

[blapo38]

Coxon and Greenwood play in the mount olympus of talent while you mere mortals keep on discussing whom of both is better.

[weerpool14]

If I had to choose between jonny greenwood ( radiohead) and graham coxon ( blur) , I'd choose Graham hands down

[thebobbseytwins]

@weerpool14

As would any person with at least 1 brain cell.

[revolv909]

@weerpool14 tough one to call.... id never be able to choose!!!!

[philsnk]

It's him. It's that piano guy.

[WouterJ]

I'm sure that everybody went through a painful break up can relate to this song.

Damon is singing about Justine Frishman with which he had an eight year long relationship, got knows how much they went through in that time.

[ronnyim12345]

hey, don't be hating on Radiohead. Just because you don't think they're "cool".

[GreatFlamingPoop]

@ronnyim12345 I don't want to start anything, I do like post-britpop more then post grunge...but common, Radiohead pales in comparison to the genius that is Blur

[IANDREY100]

Blur, Oasis...

Pulp and The Charlatans UK - Number one. Forever.

[GreatFlamingPoop]

why is it britpop (blur,oasis) and grunge (Nirvana,Pearl Jam)were so cool yet post-britpop(coldplay,radiohea­d) and post grunge (nickleback,seether) suck so much?

[coltsuperocean10]

You can hardly say Radiohead suck? They are the most important band in UK music since Led Zeppelin!!

[radioheadyorke]

simply...no

[miguelcontrol]

uff que se puede decir de esta gran rola... perfecta!

[donnylad73]

brilliant song!

[thebobbseytwins]

Who gives a shit about Radiohead!?

This is the soundtrack to my long breakup with the 90s. God, that was hard.

[carrierasquinha]

my sentiments exactly :-)

Oh Blur, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways....

[ykoshy]

well, i used to care about Radiohead a lot, i thought their contribution to music (ranging from the cathartic, acoustic sounds of the Bends to the fucking beautiful piece of art that is Kid A), were pretty significant and have had a massive influence on the scene today from Burial to Bloc Party.....but having heard that this was thebobbseytwins soundtrack to the long breakup with the 90s, i take it back.

[numbnutone]

dennis weaver rules

[Damon83]

13 is more expermimental, intense and complex album than any of radiohead ... completely underrated

[erikwtrstn]

but i completely agree with you that the album is underrated. Blur in general is terribly underrated. i think they're one of the top 5 bands of the last 20 years or so.

[Damon83]

It's my opinion anyway. When I listen 13, songs like Caramel, Mellow song or Trimm Trabb, with so much feeling and textures... never felt that with Radiohead. I repit: my opinion.

[Everton176]

christ almighty this is a sad song when your heart is broken

[zackpliskin]

One of the best breakup songs I ever heard. I always put it on when things go bad with a girl.  There's such unrestrained passion in Damon's voice, it's beautiful.

[KurtFuller]

@zackpliskin Mmmh, I love this song too, it´s very deep and melllanchollic

[KurtFuller]

@zackpliskin Mmmh... I love this song too, it´s very deep and melllanchollic

[etherealfilms858]

brilliant. . .

[wastedgrunge]

i would describe this song ... like beautiful and sad so fucking sad ... to end your relationship .

[DamonAlbarnLovesMe]

his voice is amazing.

[cyyytr0n]

One of the best album ever ... all tracks are indescribables ...

[DeathMayhemCrush17]

13 is the modern day Sgt Pepper in my opinion. Just because it is fucking amazing

[PoorGondrano]

I subscribe your opinion...great comment & great song.

[mickjoG]

@DeathMayhemCrush17 turn it up.... they're nothing like the beatles... Oasis had more beatle about them than Blur.... both great bands in there own right though... Oasis V Blur thing is stupid.

[tbitsu27]

@mickjoG nobody said Blur sounded like the Beatles. he was saying that the album is one of the best albums just like Sgt Pepper.

[Truchulo23]

@DeathMayhemCrush17 Couldn't agree more... Nice to see there's people who can actually realzse how great Blur were, even to be compared with the unbeatable Beatles. Cheers!

[THFCWeHateArsenal]

@DeathMayhemCrush17

nah...their self-titled album's Sgt Pepper and 13 is the White Album

[feelipow]

@DeathMayhemCrush17 And so depressive...

[Multimovil]

tenia 14 años!

[PhyroDragon]

Can anyone tell me what kind of guitar Damon is using?

[mrsbr0wnstone]

this song is brilliant. so melancholic and emotive. and so much depth in it. albarn is a genius.

[DirtyFuckingPig]

i'm feeling like this in this moment... this song is beatiful but so sad...

I speak spanish, my english isn't good, sorry.

[bluelicious1]

and it wont get better....well not for a while my song for like a year check out some tindersticks dying slowly is a good one

[carlos7217]

so sad,............great song

[tuslcs]

this song take in my soul

[karziflora]

Melancholic and beautiful!!!

God I miss the 80's-90's...

[MrSuperweed1]

this song is fuckin amazin simple

[mothsista]

brilliant song having a recent heartbreak myself it really does sum it up :-(

[bentheled]

I really love coxons playing on this track,beautiful song!!!

[scimanuk]

They were fuckin amazin tonight at hyde park.. :D

But they didn't play this song :(

[spreadmetta09]

My fav British band..There is always sense of sadness in listening to some great songs from them..

[futsol55]

this song is a solace.

[raisinbum]

I do hope that Blur play this when I see them in Manchester in just a few weeks time.

[RustonParva]

Nice Damon's Glases!! .. they're cool!

[RabCaerbannog]

What's the guitar that Graham's playing?

[PolaroidThePenguin]

looks like gibson es 335

[lolno]

it'll be a Gibson ES something or other

got that big humbucker sound, which when put through a bit of fuzz just IS heartache, for me.

[IWontGetOvertheDam]

13 is the kind of album you have to be in just the right mood to listen to.

[tomgair360]

good call, really have to be in the right frame of mind, otherwise it can be shit. sometimes i wonder whether this or think tank was more experimental, great albums both of em anyways

[tedstelz]

If you are in a sh*t mood, wrecked the car, lost the girl......it seems this song is your only friend. put it on repeat, and you'll come out of it soon.

[opticmovies]

so true mate

[CMONCMON007]

im going thorugh some of that right now..and yes this song is on repeat indeed

[blackaristofon]

great information! This is a great song.

[Tirdfish]

I bought 13 (of which this track is on) and I didn't think much of it at the time back in 99, now I play it a lot it's one of my favorite albums and one of their best albums to date.

This song says it all really, if you've ever experienced this sort of a relationship break down as Damon did with Justine Frischmann.

[NPchannel]

one of the greatest songs ever.

wow.. wow.

[joejwt]

i've learnt to play the electric guitar part, with the singing, and i completely understand damon's words. the words to this song are extremely fitting for my current situation, and singing those lyrics greatly upsets me as well. thank you damon, for sharing that emotion =).

[paulstearne]

love this tune

I didn't understand blur at this point in their career, but looking back it's clear they were fucking good.

[yiyoto]

great info mannnnnnnn tnx for posting

[wsallen]

I really don't think this was the Jools Holland performance...

[joejwt]

fucking beautiful
