The Universal

This classic song "The Universal" by the British band Blur, from 1995, reminds me so much of my crazy life in London during the 90's, a decade of excess and decadence in a job where I had no time to think about, or do anything else, but work and be constantly tired... the only thing that was always with me on a daily basis was the music and my life was surrounded by the music of that time.
Even now that hasn't changed for me as I am always constantly surrounded by music from the time that I wake up until the time I sleep, my life has always been that way and I couldn't exist without music.

Hearing the song again now in a new phase of my life gives so much upliftment, it's joyful and I feel it's a song about hope... it gives me hope anyway; hope for a better future...

And if only all songs and music videos were so wonderfully creative like this these days! Just listen to the string arrangements! And the chorus! And the artisic attention to detail in the music video in capturing the Kubrick fantasy!

Put your feet up, have a cup of tea or coffee and watch the music video as you enter a Clockwork Orange world! ;)

The Universal

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, here's your lucky day

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
Well, 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
Just let them go
