Blur - The Universal

Blur在1989年组建于伦敦,最初起名为Seymour.经过了大量的演出并录制了一盘样带后,乐队签约于EMI的子公司Food唱片,并在公司负责人的建议下将更名为Blur。

最初,Blur是众多Stone Roses时期的英国乐队之一.风格属于迷幻的流行吉他,只是没有嘈杂的吉他.随着90年代初期翻唱风的盛行,小组成为英国最受欢迎的乐队之一,并奠定其继the Kinks,the Small Faces,the Who,the Jam,the Madness,和the Smiths之后英国的guitar-pop风格的继承人的地位。在这个过程中,小组创立了一种被称做Brit-pop的新的风格,乐队歪曲的歌词及对英国流行风格的准确把握使其成为了Brit-pop的领头人,但是Blur很快就几乎被运动限制住了,因为他们使最主要的乐队,所以当运动进行不下去时乐队也几乎支撑不下去了.通过一些混合了indie-rock和lo-fin的重新创作,在90年代末,作为一支art-pop乐队,Blur重新振作起来并在97年在美国取得了巨大的成功.不过乐队以前的风格还是在英国保留了下来.通过巧妙的为本国的流行风格注入新的元素,他们重新振兴了guitar- pop并将它带入了90年代.

喜欢的他们的这首“The Universal”,悲壮浩大的弦乐伴奏+Damon Albarn刻板呆滞却充满心痛无奈的声音着实令人痴迷。(网络整理)

英文歌词:
this is the next century
where the universal's free
you can find it anywhere
yes, the future has been sold
every night we're gone
and to karaoke songs
how we like to sing a long
although the words are wrong
it really, really, really could happen
yes, it really, really, really could happen
when the days they seem to fall through you,
well just let them go
no one here is alone, satellites in every home
yes the universal's here, here for everyone
every paper that you read
says tomorrow is your lucky day
well, it really, really, really could happen
well, here's your lucky day
