Ah, merci! Mit Seymour auf dem Titel kann’s natürlich nicht rein.
Aber ich glaube ohne „Hope You Find Your Suburb“ kann ich nicht mitmachen. ♡
In 1995 the great and the good of Britpop(plus legendary Pauls Mcartney and Weller), came together to produce The Help Album in support of the Warchild charity.
Blur’s contribution was Eine Kleine Lift Musik, a near instrumental with a Mozart spoofing title and some gentle doo wop backing vocals. Despite a gorgeous melody it didn’t draw much attention, perhaps overshadowed by Noel Gallagher playing supergroups with a former Beatle.
However, a rough demo exists under the title Hope You Find Your Suburb that proves Eine Kleine Lift Musik is the great lost Blur ballad. It deserves to stand alongside tracks like Badhead or The Universal.
On the demo Damon has attached vocals to the dreamy tune. While the words aren’t properly worked out for the verses the chorus points to the themes of suburban alienation and prurient, curtain twitching subversion that would dominate the band’s next album, The Great Escape. It even includes the line “Wife swapping is your future,” which would turn up again on the single Stereotypes.
Nachtrag: „Fool’s Day“ ist erlaubt. Puh. Kann ich doch mitmachen.
So tolle Lyrics!
…
Porridge done, I take my kid to school
Past the pound shop, Woolworths
Under bridge, where the subway sees the daytime
And the Westway flies by
Then on my bike, down the Ladbroke Grove
To the forthcoming dramas
A studio and a love of all sweet music
We just can’t let go
Let go, let go, let go, let go
…
Ich hätte auch sonst keine Probleme, 30 tolle Songs zusammenzubekommen. :) War aber bisher nicht dazu gekommen, den Rareties viel Beachtung zu schenken, weil das alles so unübersichtlich schien. War einfacher bei Arctic Monkeys einfach chronologisch mitzugehen.
