BLUR - ‘This Is A Low’ (from the album Parklife)
You might hear something broader and deeper, but I hear in Blur’s best ballad a song about drinking and sadness, late nights alone with a couple of packs of lager and the shipping forecast, the country smeared into a small-hours fog and nobody to hold you. Because you can stay out in Camden, Colchester, Canal Street or anywhere else in Cool Britannia drinking and drugging all you like, but in the end you’ve got to go home and look yourself in the mirror like everyone else.
