Blur is the fifth album by English alternative rock band Blur. Released on 10 February 1997 in the UK, it reached the top of the UK album chart. Blur was also a hit in the US, with song 2 becoming a hit there and the album being certified Gold. It also spawned several hit singles in the UK, most notably beetlebum and "Song 2".

The album's style was resultant of Blur's dropping their previous britpop mantle in favor of lo-fi and alternative rock recordings, reportedly at graham coxon 's urging. As a result, Blur was a hit primarily because it proved that Blur could evolve beyond their Britpop roots. The album's move from Britpop was emphasised by this being the first Blur album not to use Stylorouge cover-art and also not to have lyrics and chords printed in the liner notes, instead having a composite photo of the band in the studio spread out over three panels. The album featured the first song in which Graham Coxon not only wrote the lyrics, but also provided lead vocals, for the song You're So Great. He would later do the same for coffee & TV for Blur's next album.

For Tomorrow
Blur Lyrics

He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow

London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow

She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make you sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the West way
So we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow

Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow

We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow

She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow

Jim stops and gets out of the car
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate
Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on
Turns it off and makes some tea
Says modern life is rubbish

I'm holding on for tomorrow

Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, "let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there, and the view's so nice"
London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose

You're holding on for tomorrow

Most of the people I know have never heard of blur and have only heard of oasis Oasis are good but in my opinion blur are one of the best bands of the ninties

The bands aren't really comparable to be honest. While I'll always be more of an Oasis guy, I cannot deny that Blur's earlier work is exceptionally good. That whole "battle of the bands" circus was just utter nonsense.

People who were teenagers when this song came out, I have a question for you. When I listen to this song I feel a sort of nostalgia, but I wasn't even born then. I can imagine you feel nostalgic as well when you hear this song today. I was wondering what you felt when you first heard this song when it came out. Did it already have a nostagic feeling to it because of how it sounds? Did you expect to feel nostalgia for that time? I think about this a lot because I am now 18 and I don't feel like I'm making memories that will feel good when I'm 40. I can't imagine me in 30 years being nostalgic about 2020.Same with the music, the songs that will be remembered as "the 2010's classics" don't mean a lot to me and they just remind me of the fact that I never really fit in with the rest of my generation. I wonder if that is a universal feeling of all times or if it is a modern thing or perhaps just me.

I was 16 when this was released. I remember I stole a cassette of the album from a library and I used to listen to it on my Aiwa personal stereo walking around South London on my way to Sixth Form in the mornings. I also had the cassette single of Animal Nitrate by Suede with The Big Time as the B-Side, I played the hell out of those cassettes. For me, Modern Life Is Rubbish and Suede by Suede were like Year zero where everything changed.

Christina Crites

I was like you, in that I felt like I genuinely didn’t fit in. I still don’t but it doesn’t bother me the way it did as a teenager. Being born and raised in rural Kentucky, listening to Blur back then (still my favorite band btw) was not the thing! This was in the 90s…pre internet days, and I had to go to the record shop and have an annoyed guy behind the counter order my cds for me, then go back in a few weeks to pick them up. No one even knew who Blur were. As for how I felt…I didn’t feel nostalgic, I felt at home in a place I had never been to before, even more so than I did in my actual home. It inspired me to travel the world…which is why now I’m glad that I’m “weird”. If I had fit in, I wouldn’t have had the awesome life I’ve been privileged to live so far.

this is such interesting topic, is normal create a conection in a personal or cultural level with diferent songs, no matter the year of the production or the place, is something that break context or lenguage.

in my case i am 33 so "my generation would be from 2000 to 2010 let´s say, but i never create any deep conection (of course there are some amazing bands and artist that i still finding) and also because i feel today is just an exageration of what began those year with social media and pop rap, nothing to be proud honestly or feel nostalgic, what i really miss is been in a public place and hear more variety and time to time good pp and rock songs in the radio, today is 24 hours of the same pop coctels from years ago everywhere.

is hard to create a modern conection with the present, when everything around just ignore what you consider interesting.

to me too...but the part that makes the most nostalgy for me is the 'break' part with those harmonic, ghostly voices
but i'm guessing it's nostalgy from what I actually lived, as this is one of the first songs I learned to like when I searched more than Song 2, and it has been more than 10 years now... (that said, I dont feel the same nostalgia with Beetlebum, their first song that wasnt song 2 that I found out)

I remember when the Modern Life IS Rubbish album came out I stole it on cassette from Sydenham Library and then I used to bunk off Sixth Form walking around the streets of South London listening to it on my Aiwa personal stereo. You'd hear this song and you just knew that this and songs like The Drowners and Animal Nitrate by Suede were the start of something that was going to be big, very big. For me, this is where the '90s really started.

George Scott nowadays everything has to be perfect.

Utterly timeless and makes me want to cry each time I hear it. And that's after 24 years of listening.

He's a twentieth century boy
With his hands on the rails
Trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow

London ice cracks on a seamless line
He's hanging on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow

She's a twentieth century girl
With her hands on the wheel
Trying not to make you sick again
Seeing what she can borrow
London's so nice back in your seamless rhymes
But we're lost on the West way
So we hold each other tightly
And we can wait until tomorrow

Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow

We're trying not to be sick again
And holding on for tomorrow

She's a twentieth century girl
Holding on for dear life
And so we hold each other tightly
And hold on for tomorrow

Singing la, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
La, la la l-la, la, la la, l-la l-la la-la-la
Holding on for tomorrow

Jim stops and gets out of the car
Goes to a house in Emperor's Gate
Through the door and to his room, and then he puts the TV on
Turns it off and makes some tea
Says modern life is rubbish

I'm holding on for tomorrow

Then Susan comes into the room
She's a naughty girl with a lovely smile
Says, 'let's take a drive to Primrose Hill
It's windy there, and the view's so nice.'
London ice can freeze your toes, like anyone, I suppose

You're holding on for tomorrow

I'm so glad that I got to see Blur live back in the 1990s. That concert is one of my top 5 shows I've seen. They were so good that night in Philadelphia.

There is something both beautiful and melancholy about this song, maybe more so if you grew up in London at this time. Let's take a drive to Primrose Hill, it's windy there - but the view's so nice

I heard this was the only song their manager/producer actually liked from the modern life is rubbish album, which is why they cut it to make it shorter and more radio friendly, tbh I much prefer the longer version on the best of blur album, my music producer friend and i have been life long fans of blur, we were born after they made it big, I don't know who can think oasis are better than them, for us it's no contest, still a great rivalry for the ages, one for the history books, my friend is an English producer and blur and Damon especially have helped shape is and all modern music, I wanna throw him some love as we've been through a lot together, he's just released a new track, please try searching Lonely gimmick - blue ticked influencer, you may be in for a surprise and he would love to hear your opinion

Blur improved so much over the course of their career... never could get into this early stuff. They really hit their stride, along with Pulp, in the late 90s and Gorillaz is a continuation of that.
