Only the Brits could come up with a hybrid of Bluegrass, Blues, Gospel and a soccer crowd chant, put it all together and create absolute magic. It's a mystery to me, but this is a timeless classic in ALL of those genres. Incredible.

A couple months ago I fell asleep on my couch and woke up to a rerun of a Tonight Show episode featuring Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. I googled High Flying Birds to find the song they played on the show, which led me to KZitem, which led me to this video, which has not only reignited my love for Blur, but taken it to a whole new level. I've spent the last two months devouring every Blur performance, interview, article, music video, and film I can get my hands on, and I've got tickets now to see Damon perform in Iceland in March. I think 800 of the most recent views of this video were mine. Thank you, Jimmy!

It's awesome that in four comments one after another I see every comment describing another member of Blur, it's awesome how this band sound excellent because of work of everyone and not because there's one or two good musicians. There are four great musicians making music together and I feel Blur would not be so great without any one person in the band. In their music it doesn't matter if you listen more to the vocals, gitar, bass or percussion, or the way the music is written, or additional sounds, or lyrics. There are no weak points. This music is equal and full of harmony.
