Songs for tomorrow: For Tomorrow

Given the name of the series, this song, from my favourite Blur album, had to feature early doors. Have always loved the spoken word outro - a lovely piece of flash fiction.

  1. My vibe today is casual girls with guitars, so on this theme: The Staves, In the Long Run https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQXNUGMERQM

    1. Yeah, that's alright, isn't it? Like the S&G-esque guitar motif. April, Come She Will, perhaps. Which is a good choice for the end of March ;)

  2. One of a handful of Blur songs that hasn't dated badly.

    1. Tell you what, I love Blur but I could happily never hear Country House again.

    2. I have to be in the right frame of mind for any of his cheeky mockney geezer songs. I used to love them but I can rarely stand them these days.

    Have to agree with Rol,having listened to the Parklife Album for days of my life I struggle with those songs now. Different story from the earlier work- happily still listen to Shes So High and There's No Other Way etc. 1990 at UEA if memory serves me Mr P?!

    1. Might have been 91, but good lord, what a quiet, sober evening that was... Happy days, my friend.
