The Blur Song from Trainspotting

[Knight1979]

what's it called?........too lazy to look it up

Why didn't they do more stuff like this? By far and away their best song IMO.....Blur was just all over the map, couldn't ever get a handle on what they were trying to do

Sing and it's from the album Leisure

Tune I agree, Blur were always hit n miss for me.

 

[AyrshireBlue]

Think it was called "Sing" but could be wrong.

Never watched trainspotting

but i'v heard that "The Passenger" By "Iggy Pop" is the soundtrack to it, apparently, cba looking it up

 

[Knight1979]

thanks guys, to think that came from the same band that did, "Parklife", its dark as f**k.

 

[AyrshireBlue]

Damn you TMQ

But agree with Blur, hit & miss, enjoyed the Leisure and Modern Life is Rubbish albums, had no time for Parklife or The Great Escape but then liked Blur & 13.

Blur are just quality, always changing direction and trying out new styles and some quality songs written along the way.

Beetlebum is one of the best songs ever.

I'd agree with that 100%

I think its good to do that to a point. But if you go too extreme it sounds watered down and lacking of substance. They are great musicians I'll give them that, I do think Damon Albarn is a self absorbed cock. Anyone who watched the extra interviews on the "live forever" documentary knows that.

Yeah, strange band. Brill one minute, poor the next. Loved Girls and Boys cos it sounds, musically, a lot like 'Quiet Life'-era Japan.
