Blur - On Your Own

[REMnut12]

Damon is so making fun of JK here! He spoke about this video recently on an australian radio station :D He said that he kinda lost his mind for a minute! It is very funny though.

[x9x8x7x61]

1993-1995 were their best albums but I think this is one of the best of blur (what's in my eyes a quite disappointing album)

[lordkhaos0]

What kind of hat is that? I want one :D

[Mistablista]

The man's quite clearly emulating JK for comic effect; Hat, Dance moves, Camera angle...

[nickname1331]

You are right... he is emulating Jesus Krist.

[Crimsonphilosophy]

a bit muddyed sounding to me but i still love blur, i think Think Tank is my fav

[Twist9]

Anyone know what that is Dave (the drummer) is using?

[kirkpatrick321]

@Twist9 Its a Roland drum machine

[lordkhaos0]

@Twist9 roland tr-606 i beleive

[yolo1998]

I'm not that good but I'm not that bad..love this

[EuchridEucrow1]

You would have to be one dumb mother fucker to take Albarn seriously in this video.

It's so obviously a joke that I feel embarrassed having to point it out. Maybe he should have worn a placard saying, "This is a put on".

It just goes to prove that you can never underestimate the public's critical thinking skills.

[OwlOnDuty]

I adore Graham <3

[SuicideMachine09]

looks like he is immatating Fred Durst HA! Love blur

[ScireFlamma]

You're right! XD I was wondering about his lapse in judgement and that hat.

[davesmith7891]

He's right? Yeah, Damon Albarn was impersonating Fred Douche two years before Lame Bizkit got famous. Educate yourself, cocksucker.

[Wolfington]

Is Fred Durst some American no mark? Never heard of him.

[christopato]

Has anyone commented on how awesome Graham is on guitar.. the guy's a genius! what a riff!!!

[023Sammy023]

What are you doing, Damon? You just can't act like a pimp: you're from Essex, remember? No wonder Graham and Dave are hiding from you...

But I just can't stay mad at you. Even if the hat is ridiculous.

[XxBella81xX]

He's not acting like a pimp! he's actually doing his best jay kay ( jamiroquai ) impersonation. lol.

[richi6006]

thks gracias viejo

[richi6006]

what is he playing at 2:30?

[EuchridEucrow1]

Actually, I think it's just a simple 8 or 12 track recorder with an exterior microphone.

I think the idea is to represent all the 'tape' bits that are layered in the song.

[burgales24]

did he say smth bout Max Biaggi?

[Spacemal]

I love albarns mali music...this aint too bad either

lova ya...

[Pitt412050]

Anybody have the remix to this song? I know it's on the movie The Beach, but not on the soundtrack...

[pyenapple]

It's on "Bustin + Dronin" remix album.

[harney90]

oh god his hat!!

[norchwood78]

Damon's little dance number at 4:26 is my favorite part.

[enossified]

not 4:39?

[54spiritedwill54]

this song ROCKS

[nsubutra]

Blur all my life

[hibyhihi]

i dodnt get it? y is it funny

[vitalidol]

great music and song

[tusspot666]

This is the first vid I watched of them YEARS ago. And I was like 'wow the lead singer is gay, why si the ginger kid in the gutter?' Then I really got heavily into them and I love this song. now that i get their humor this video makes sense and is funny to me. xDD

[PolaroidThePenguin]

yanks love that word so much, it seems. "gay gay gay"

[tusspot666]

Yeah I sure do, considering I am gay! :3

Dunno why I got thumbs down, ha ha. Youtubers are so lame~

[PolaroidThePenguin]

well, it's different for you then, sorry.

[dhfhdfhd]

You can really see that this is a modell chopper in the beginning.

Well great song, and kind of strange video. But thats how i like it^^

[damonandcuponoodles]

Ummm... I might be a minority on this but I do love Damon's look in this. I mean, I know thats not how he goes around all the time but I think it fits the song

Not to mention he can do whatever the fuck he wants. He's Damon Albarn.

[wizzolf]

i like when the song has the frenetic laser sound and the dog is itching its self and they made it so the dog scratches and the song match, y'know?

[guadalupeodiard]

i like this song

[cecilemdp]

me encanta!!!

[lostunicorns]

lol, he's wearing dc shoes

[raguv2000]

I prefer the Kangol

[nikkocasas]

at minute 4:08 begins a noise that i have listened in a song of the movie the beach. anybody knows that song?? i would luv 2 find it. blur is alive again!!! =D

[dinosteve]

its the same song just mixed different, the beach sound track should have it

[nikkocasas]

yes thanks, i just notice before o left the message.. i'm ashame of it haha, but well i love both versions, blut is blur whenever u put it or wherever =D

[srwt1234]

this song ROCKS

[Tate22]

I never loved this song or video.

I'm not sure why I just watched it.

[OGDonJuan]

or commented

[Tate22]

I might comment on it everyday now.

[EventuallyWeMerge]

Can't STAND this song?

This is their best shit ever, hands down. 1 of the best singles ever made. Seriously....dude...

[ian09rush]

eh...Damon Albarn the rapper!?

[vivio19861986]

why he did in this way the video? :S

[Benjani7]

i fucking love blur

but i can't stand this song.

[neonnsteel]

why?

[Benjani7]

I find this song annoying, and, frankly, dated. I think the melody is naff, nor do I like the way Albarn shouts in the chorus. Blur and Damon Albarn have written far better songs. After Parklife, I think Think Tank is their best record.

[nikkocasas]

the got toguether again and will have concerts throught uk and france, i saw something about it ^^ i suposse that wont be the same but the're still on the road!!

[jauntin]

hahaha i haven't listened to this song since i was 13!

[masmary]

cazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzo voglio andare ad hype parkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

hi folk do you know if blur after the reuninon in hype park begin a tour?????!!!!

ohhhhhh I HAVE TO GOOOOOOOOOOO sigh sigh sigh :'(!

[crafton200]

seems a jamiroquai clip

[vivio19861986]

yea it's true

[lisakari18]

me gusta ese estilo rapero de damon.

[alcosanon]

if you could make out what they were

saying it would be better ,but it is brilliant

otherwise

[geckofamily]

0: 27

Hmmm.... product placement?

[greatgoth]

The English Mamontovas!

[magpiej23]

Not sure it's their best song

Certainly one of their most underrated though

[febalj]

certainly is. period.

[trouble05uk]

I'm looking forward to Blur at the MEN. This is their best song!

[mguillen37]

The best song of blur, thanks for put in the page...

[lisakari18]

me encanta el estilo de damon en este vid!!

[Wootlol200]

If any know what guitar effect graham is useing to get wierd lagging sound. plz tell me

[Zombiology]

synths?

[jtwig]

I forgot how much I liked this song, heh ;) ah Blur..

[zetec115]

Probably their most underrated song ever. Love the band, love this song.

[amickrocker]

Btw, this is Damon's rap video.

[masmary]

°_°!!!!!!!

[annyloveseddy]

Seriously, Rise by PIL? nonetheless, Blur is cool.

[geckofamily]

porduct placement at 0:29

[MN443]

DAMON ALBARN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!

[azuresa]

yeahhhh

[jamaicanhemp]

BLUR!!!! They are Gods!

[Wootlol200]

I really wonna know to what graham is useing for getting that sound of every riff

[sushimanse]

how do Graham make that crazy guitarsound?? please!! What kind of equipment does he use in this song?

[lisakari18]

I do not know but for me he's the best guitarist.

[MoxieFluffypants]

LoLler Coaster!

I don't know what to laugh at. Damon? as a breakdancer? cracked out Alex?...Gram taggin' or Dave in a pit..Why isn't this song more popular? IDGI

[sayatakpunyanama]

lol wtf, in 1:09 damon looks like a hiphop mc

[wzl46]

good gosh, this musical video is quite entertaining!

[glarus26]

blur is back!!!

[takot88]

still sounds modern today..

[happymoi1]

well today is indeed the best day in a loooong looong time! i love damon.cant wait to see them again!

[sweetgeri3]

DAMON IS THE BEST!!!!!

BLUR <3<3

[nhdaniele]

So take me home, dont leave me alone

Im not that good, but Im not that bad

No psycho killer, hooligan guerilla

I dream to riot, oh you should try it

R e perot, get gold card soul

My joy of life is on a roll

And well all be the same in the end

[splitenzfreak1980]

Brilliant song and video! Blur pay tribute to Jamiroquai and Roni Size? Love those moves and that stuttering thing.

What's Dave playing down in that manhole?

Graham's talents are not just on the guitar...check out his work with the spray can!

Come back Blur, we need you!!!

[inbatnext]

Dave's playing a Roland 606 drum machine eg the drums on this are (mostly) synthetic, not real drums.

They obviously listened to you when you said 'come back Blur'! :)

[splitenzfreak1980]

Aaah, thank you masked stranger. I like Roland sounds.

Yes they must've heard me...and countless other fans! :)

[MN443]

DAMON ALBARN IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!

[blackaristofon]

This video is great and best of all is that Blur again next year, Damon said that.

[uktah]

Damon is so cute in the video...love the hat! reminiscent of TGTBTQ

[joeblackdeaduser]

Blur was totally awesome!

I like the video, Damon ironizing Hopper is just crazy :D

I you miss Blur, take a look on Gorillaz.

[zeking030]

did any of them write? (do graffiti)

[whereitsatodelay]

i read that when Modern Life is Rubbish came out Damon tagged MODERN LIFE IS RUBBISH around to promote it. i think they may have faced some legal action for it. i think its on their wikipedia page.

[chiponmyshoulder]

aren't they taking the piss out of oasis?

[MEpianist]

are they mocking The Stone Roses / Dance Rock from 1989?

[alexblur95]

jaajaja this video is cool

damon is so funny

i miss blur!!

[KillingJoke696]

LOl check out the guy in the beater try to keep up

[pitsahatt]

This video is so bad. And Damon Albarn looks like an idiot when he dances.

[2grapes]

"Damon Albarn looks like an idiot when he dances"....

Is that not the point? I mean do you honestly think he thinks he is Michael Jackson or Puff Daddy or some shit?

It's just an alternative/pop song with clear Hip-Hop influences, he's just having fun in the video.

[nhdaniele]

He WANTS to look like an idiot. Ahhh. irony.

[uktah]

Haha, I like this video

[enteisttoll]

what's alex doing? apart from being very... ehrm... alex.

[dsignrdane]

this must of been around the time of that jamiroquai video or something

[velouria91]

really? i'm not too familiar with them, but do they have a similiar video or something?

[Panthera0nca]

Damon Albarn looks like Ravey Davey Gravy from VIZ here for anyone old enough to remember back that far :o)

[whersWaldo]

its like a piss take of Oasis - D'You Know What I Mean?

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

No I don't, please enlighten me(laughs).

[manbearpigeon]

Oh lord...

The 90's wouldn't be the same without fuzzy bucket hats.

[uktah]

Damon is soo hot

[daHiphopopotamus]

I love Blur, but Damon just ruins this video for me, I hope he was just joking and didnt actually think he was being cool looking like vanilla ice or something. But still the song is fucking great

[qetuo12345678910]

It's a joke, trust me.

[daHiphopopotamus]

thank god

[Octavia1507]

of course it's a fuckin joke, that's the whole point

[kevyk999]

good song ! poor video tho

[kirksonline]

Is he tryin' to be a rapper???

[EscuchaYcalla]

No, he's obviously joking. He's doing rapper and break dance moves (intentionally badly, despite the guy has impressive athletic skills), while wearing a hat like Jamiroquai's, to a rock song. It's evident he's kidding.

[Gravityparadiiz]

=DD j'adore !!

[CofuciusSays]

What does Alex's shirt say? (in English) can anybody catch the whole phrase?

[88SOH88]

says RGY thts it dont know wht it means or wht make if it is one.

[apurva42]

in french...

it says

this is not a cigarette

c'est n'est pas une cigarette

[CofuciusSays]

that's random...thanks for the answer!

[WholeDarnShow]

It's a reference to a famous painting of a pipe with the the text "ceci n'est pas une pipe" written under it called "[...the French for...]The Treachery of Images" by an artist who's name I'm not going to bother googling right now, the same guy who did the more famlous picture of a guy in a suit & bowler hat with an apple obscuring his face, Margrite?

[MegaloBellamian]

did you know that "a pipe" is also another way to say a "blow job" in french ?

[WholeDarnShow]

Yip, but I wasn't thinking of that while commenting. Since then I saw it in the French subtitles of a Monty Python DVD.

[MegaloBellamian]

haha that's the greatness of Blur

[CofuciusSays]

Oh, that's really interesting. Thanks. Yes, tis Margritte.

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Very good.

[kewpiedollcarcrash]

being silly with a big orange willy?

[Tagsmagilicuty]

It looks like he's making fun of beastie boys videos

[nunzioforpresident]

my fav song from my fav blur album

[starshaped957]

this song makes me HHHHHIIIIIIIGGGGGGHHHHHH

[2Orion0I1am2]

sounds like bob dylans song like a rolling stone. I know its not though but the lyrics and the melody have a common sound

[NotOrdinaryInGames]

Music repeats itself, no one can do anything about it. It is not stealing-many things repeat themselves, it is normal, it is life, it is...what it is...and stuff.

[2Orion0I1am2]

heh all i was saying was that i found something i like about the song. but yeah i hear ya

[parklife1714kontrol]

jajajaja

trata de bailar como ellos y no le sale jaja

mm bueno lo intento damon

jaja un video un tanto raro pero es gracioso!!

jajajaja

=)

se ve lido damon

graham exelente guitarra como siempre!!!!

XD

[bilwit]

lol what the hell is going on in this video

[blurworld]

i didnt write this song

[WholeDarnShow]

Really? neither did I. Small world...

[daveedine]

whatever

[czeal]

the guitars are amazing

[gypsypanther]

My favorite part of Blur in general.

[BrockLeyland]

The Remix is also nice, from The Beach OST...try it

[vickydgm]

Very good song but i dont like damon acting as a raper even if he made that on purpose

Graham is so cute! <3

[AtomicHarmonica]

As a 'raper'? You mean rapper. You're making it sound as though Damon's a rapist (though 'raper' isn't even a word).

[the1gaur]

oh yea ofcorsexD Im from Iceland...so my english is mostly learnd form videogames and moviesxD so you might expect a fiew typos from mexD

[vickydgm]

Yes you are right, I'm sorry my english is not very good :P

[pdub416]

this is probably my favourite blur song.

[the1gaur]

I think the bassist is the coolest band memberxD Hes always so chilled but Damon looks like a raper in this video and that hat is realy goofyxD I´m not saying that blur sicks or anything,I realy like blur.

[penelopedesouza]

christ- the aesthetic is rave, not rap

[the1gaur]

aaa what? I have no idea what your talking about:S If your talking about that comment where I said "he looks like a raper" I know it was supposde to be rapper...just a typo...and I know how bad that typo lookxD

[penelopedesouza]

rave the genre

'Big fish little fish' hand gestures, sweaty T-shirts, Es, Kangol hats?

Where is your pop culture knowledge??

(not in a mean way...)

[alexblur95]

fuck!!! what a fuckin great song!!! men damon is good singger and good dancer XD

[MN443]

AWESOME!!!!!!! Damon Albarn!

[Rizspinty]

This song is very funny:))

[bloodsexandbooze77]

if you sniff glue or gasoline, you'll see and hear everything just as this video

i mean it, it's no joke

[MattJamesR]

You really are right.

[phonicfred]

he is sorta copying Jamiroqaui

thats a good thing!

love u albarn

[RexelG123]

Remeber peeps blur happened BEFORE jamiroqaui...

[phonicfred]

too right!

[NoNotThat]

yes rexel but virtual insanity came out in 1996 and this album came out a year later

although why he would be copying them I have no idea

[damonandcupofnoodles]

The people who keep trying to diss Damon's hat or his clothes or his AWESOME spazzing out (who cares anyway?) dont realize that Damon Albarn's thinking seems to be:

"I am an entertainer.

Im here to make your life easier

and fun. Im here because my art is my life

and i love my fans almost as much as my music

I am Blur

I am Gorillaz

I am the Good the Bad and the Queen

I am Damon hear me roar!"

at least thats wat i think hes a goof and genius and hes above the haters and we love him
