Sing
Blur Lyrics
I can't feel
'Cause I'm numb
I can't feel
'Cause I'm numb
So what's the worth
In all of this
What's the worth
In all of this
Sing to me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Sing to me
So what's the worth
In all of this
If the child in your head
If the child is dead
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Sing to me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Sing to me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Sing to me

Blur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consists of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks Read Full BioBlur is an alternative rock band which formed in Colchester, England in 1989. The band consists of Damon Albarn (vocals, guitar, keyboards), Graham Coxon (guitar, vocals), Alex James (bass) and Dave Rowntree (drums). Blur's debut album Leisure (1991) incorporated the sounds of Madchester and Shoegazing and spawned their first UK Top 10 single, There's No Other Way. Following a stylistic change in 1992 (influenced by English guitar groups such as The Kinks, The Beatles, The Animals and XTC) Blur released "Popscene" as a stand alone single, this was a commercial flop, but was widely considered to be a crucial turning point for the band's style. Following this, Blur released 3 studio albums in a similar style: Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993), Parklife (1994) and The Great Escape (1995). As a result, the band helped to popularise the Britpop genre and achieved mass popularity in the UK, aided by a famous chart battle with rival band Oasis dubbed "The Battle of Britpop".
By the late 1990s, with the release of Blur (1997), the band underwent another reinvention, influenced by the lo-fi style of American indie rock bands such as Pavement; in the process, Blur finally gained mainstream success in the US with the single, "Song 2". The last album featuring the band's original lineup, 13 (1999) found Blur experimenting with electronic music and gospel music, as Albarn wrote more personal lyrics. In May 2002, Coxon left Blur during the recording of their seventh album Think Tank (2003). Containing electronic sounds and simpler guitar playing, the album was marked by Albarn's growing interest in hip-hop and African music.
In December 2008, Blur announced that they would be reforming for the first time since their hiatus in 2003, complete with Graham Coxon, for a UK Tour in 2009. Blur headlined the Oxegen Festival in Ireland, Glastonbury and the T in the Park Festival in the UK, as well as Dates in London, Manchester, Newcastle, Southend and Wolverhampton. The band continues to be sporadically active, releasing the single "Fool's Day" and the documentary "No Distance Left to Run" in 2010, and performing several concerts in 2012. Two new songs, "Under the Westway" and "The Puritan", were released in 2012 leading up to a post-Olympics concert which also features New Order, The Specials and Bombay Bicycle Club. In 2015, Blur released The Magic Whip.
they're amazing.

This is so much better than the rest of Leisure. It's kinda incredible how much of a quality gap there is. Sure, I quite like She's So High, There's No Other Way, and Wear Me Down, and there's a few others I like, but Sing is just on a whole other level.

I decided to go explore the B-sides to “Leisure“, and this song still slays all of them. But I am very fond of some of the B-sides to “Think Tank”, where Coxon plays. Graham Coxon really holds back his talent a lot, it’s rare when you get to hear the psychedelic experimental side of his guitar playing. You don’t even hear much of it in his solo work. I get the feeling he’s too self conscious. As someone who’s accustomed to 60’s rock icons doing long solos and wild guitar experimentation, it kind of bothers me to hear such a great talent intentionally restrain himself for fear of appearing too self-indulgent. Another guitarist who does that is the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ John Frusciante. I don’t even like that band, so I never would have even known how great Frusciante was if it weren’t for his early solo records. Both Coxon and Frusciante worship Syd Barrett’s guitar playing. It’s a shame the music industry, both mainstream and indie, highly discourages musicians from letting their freak flag fly.

Repetition is pretty good too

@Mark Saunders Leisure did not create a whole new bloody genre. It was Popscene and Modern Life Is Rubbish, along with what Suede released, that started it. Leisure mainly rode the coattails of madchester and shoegaze.

Soon as I hear it I'm transported to the streets of Edinburgh and that trainspotting world. Powerful

Graham and Damon's harmonies during the "aaaaaa' part is magical, I don't know how else to describe it. It always gives me chills
