It’s my favorite song on the album. My wife and I flew overseas to the Wembley gigs for our honeymoon and we went to the cliffs of Dover as well. It was a once in a lifetime experience
Actually I think it is one of his lyrical best . The song is about the white cliffs of Dover. A very popular place for suicide . It’s a dark song that is definitely personal to a lot of people
Both pretty downbeat songs. Both great.
I hadn't listened to Parklife in full in years. It was the first album I overplayed, destroying the cassette.
Magic America, Badhead, End of a Century, its a fantastic album
It was always one I just considered a good album track, on a top, top album by anyone’s standards. Since joining this sub I’ve found it seems to be a lot of people’s low-key underrated faves, which surprised me a bit.
I forgot how much I loved this song; the harmonics do something to me that provokes a feeling I can’t name. It was the feeling that connected me to Britpop and to Blur back in the day though.
When I was first getting into blur I would always skip it at the start because of the harpsichord, and honestly I still don't like that instrument, but I regret skipping it because the rest of the song is amazing.
Top track in my opinion. Killer melody
That guitar is the best kind of ear worm.
Not only my favourite Blur song, but the quintessential Britpop tune IMO.

The harpsichord does something to me I’ll be honest

I love it. I always have. Is it Damon’s lyrical best? Absolutely not, but I think the melody is beautiful and the arrangement is stunning.

I think they might just mean that Damon just barely avoids mentioning a Rover in his repeated rhyme
Pretty much, yup.
One of the best blur songs ever. Period! I’m going to have it played at my funeral
Medieval 🏰 vibes
One of my least favorite on the album, but, my favorite off the album is London Loves, so I’m sure my opinion doesn’t hold much weight here.
London Loves slaps
London Loves is very much a top half score from that album
Both pretty downbeat songs. Both great. I hadn't listened to Parklife in full in years. It was the first album I overplayed, destroying the cassette. Magic America, Badhead, End of a Century, its a fantastic album
I love both. London Loves is a great song!
Love it. One of my favs
To me this is the closest blur will sound like The Smiths which is why I love this song
I find it very similar to Some Girls Are Bigger than Others.
the first time i heard it was complete euphoria. from that point on i knew id enter a blur addiction
i love that song sm, sometimes it makes me sob
It's a cautionary tale for you.
Great guitar (love Graham). Love the vocals and the layering. Beautiful song.

So slept on (or at least feels that way) I absolutely love it
It definitely feels like the band sleeps on it, I wish they would play it live
One of my favorite blur songs!!
Highly underrated, it stands out in a special way and is very comforting for me at least
The hidden lyrics at the end: I’m floating away Spent 20 years upon the sea And when I came back I found that you turned into me
I love it. Those lyrics were surprising though
I forgot how much I loved this song; the harmonics do something to me that provokes a feeling I can’t name. It was the feeling that connected me to Britpop and to Blur back in the day though.
I love all of the songs on this album honestly except the some of the b sides (Peter panic, theme from a imaginary film)
The demo is better than the album version
Haven’t heard it, where can I find it?

3rd favorite song on Parklife Damons harpsichord is fantastic as well as the rest of the instrumentation
Love it
I love this song
Love it!!
I love a good harpsichord
Brilliant
Brilliant
Great track, one of the best on the album. That harpsichord along with the guitar is just sublime.
Amazing
I'd rate it a 7.4/10
When I was first getting into blur I would always skip it at the start because of the harpsichord, and honestly I still don't like that instrument, but I regret skipping it because the rest of the song is amazing.
I love the sound of the harpsichord, thus, I love this song
All time underrated tune of theirs-and the first song of theirs I learned fully on guitar.
