Blur - Tender (TOTP '99)

live top of the pops 1999

"Tender" is a song by the band Blur. It is the first track on their sixth album 13 and was also released as a single. The single reached #2 in the UK singles chart - kept off #1 by Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time".

The song was written by both Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon and the vocals are shared on the track. Following Coxon's departure from the group, Blur continued to perform the song live with Albarn asking the audience to sing Coxon's lines; "Oh my baby/Oh my baby/Oh why?/Oh my". At Blur's headline appearance at Reading Festival in 2003 he introduced the song by saying "I don't want, for one moment, to be a sentimental but... Graham wrote this song as well... you know the bits he sings and I want you to sing them as loudly as you possibly can. Everyone needs to sing this song."

The video for the song is a live studio performance with the band and a group of backing singers.

Oasis? No thanks.

Graham was and may even still be the nerdiest looking guy in the world of popular music.
