MODERN LIFE, WELL IT'S RUBBISH

udah lama juga ga posting sesuatu yang sedikit berisi dari kemaren2 perasaan postingan pendek terus, pas tadi buka blog nya Ngkud ada postingan baru yang dia nulis tentang 10 lagu rave favorit dia, that's really inspiring me to make this article. now i'll make the best 10 tracks ever by Blur, yea Blur! one of the greatest Britpop band ever! yang notabene nya adalah band favorit saya dari jaman sd, sebelumnya saya juga udah pernah posting tentang 10 track terbaik nya The Smiths yang juga band favorit saya. way too much talking, here it comes the list baby!

10. "Popscene" taken from "Modern Life Is Rubbish"
-"but I've never really stopped to think how, and everyone is a clever clone" popsceneee awriteeeeeee, intinya lagu ini masih jauh lebih keren daripada Song 2 atau Coffee & TV, and i really never get bored of this one, especially the clip from this one.

9. "No Distance Left To Run" taken from "13"
-"Cos i know the dreams that you keep is wearing me, when your coming down, think of me here, i got no distance left to run" yes one of the greatest break up song on earth, jauh2 aja dari lagu ini kalo baru putus cinta, daripada jadi nangis sampe air mata habis.

8. "Clover Over Dover" taken from "Parklife"
-"if that is the fact then in actual fact it's not where it's at and it's over" twee! ini satu2nya lagu Blur yang sedikit berbau Tweepop as always suara gitar nya Coxon yang keren banget, walaupun lirknya emang bener2 meaningless, tapi lagu ini bener2 worth buat di denger, oh my bluebird

7. "Girls & Boys" taken from "Parklife"
-"du bist sehr schoen, but we haven't been introduced" this one always takes me to another world, every single time i'm listening to Girls & Boys i feel that i've been in another space of pop, POP!

6. "She's So High" taken from "Leisure"
-"i think of her everyday, it doesn't help me" first single, first album and the early Blur, actually the sound of this track is really bored, so gloomy yea well known the early Blur is a shoegaze band but there's lot of memories inside this song, that's why i'm still putting this one as the greatest track of Blur.

5. "Beetlebum" taken from "Blur"
-"she turns me on all my violence is gone" for fuck's sake, lagu yang paling cocok banget buat kamu yang lagi galau berat! walaupun lagu ini cuman nomer 5 tapi track ini yang masih sering saya denger sampe sekarang, dan saya sama sekali ga bosen buat liat video nya, Albarn rules!

4. "Stereotypes" taken from "The Great Escape"
-"she's most accommodating when she's in her lingerie" lagu ini terlalu keren buat ukuran track2 Britpop Era yang biasanya liriknya kalo engga cinta ya politik, but it's about life, yes they're living on a rubbish life, they're the stereotypes.

3. "Parklife" taken from "Parklife"
-"you should cut down on your porklife mate! get some exercise" let yer spirit free lad! lagu yang bikin hari kamu tambah keren dan menyenangkan but ironically it tells about laziness, it especially is for you people who's got a life like a pig, and it's just like me, i should cut down my porklife, though!

2. "To The End" taken from "Parklife"
-"and it looks like we might have made it, yes it looks like we've made it to the end" it's such the most beautiful song ever, but i don't really get the mean about this one, ambigious lyric it's got. but still, this is the most beautiful song ever, not the best but beautiful. i'd call it song presented as a gift from heaven, really.

1. "For Tomorrow" taken from "Modern Life Is Rubbish"
-"make some tea, says "modern life, well it's rubbish"" congratulations! you are the number one of the list, it's probably the best track of the Britpop Era, neither Country House nor Wonderwall but maybe lot of folks are not conscious about this track, it has very great words on lyrically, what about musically? really awesome, and so we hold each other tightly and hold on for tomorrow.

well, it's really hard to choose 10 best tracks from Blur. though, every songs have a different story to me, i've just tried my best to write. for you Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree, you people are the most amazing creatures alive, ciao!
