Blur Is Getting Older And So Are We

The band debuts two new songs via livestream and remind us of our own mortality.

One pretty good rock star move when you're about to debut some of your first new music in years, like Blur did earlier today with a livestreaming performance, is to not open the video with a trip down memory lane that revisits all of your greatest hits and shows the band looking young and handsome and energetic. Seems like it would get fans excited for the good old days, right? But what really ends up happening is you're like, "Oh shit, 'There's No Other Way' was a killer song. I better go listen to that. Fuuuck, 'She's So High' was my jam too." Next thing, you're like, "Man, Damon Albarn was a super-cutie, and he had so much hair back then. I used to have a lot more hair back then too :( Wait a minute, I'm getting old…I'm getting old!!"
