ExplainBlur

Released: July 29, 1991

Songwriter: Damon Albarn Graham Coxon Alex James Dave Rowntree

Producer: Stephen Street

It's pointless to explain why
There's nothing I can say
My words would all be meaningless
Anyway
It seems I can't be trusted
And I don't disagree
What made you ever think I really
Wanted to be

I can't explain why
And I don't know when
I'm ever going to want to
See her again

So don't ask why I came here
There's nothing I can say
I don't think I'll be staying very long
Anyway
I'm trying to find out why
I came here at all
I don't think it was to see you
After all

I can't explain why
And I don't know when
I'm ever going to want to
See her again
I can't explain why
And I don't know when
I'm ever going to want to
See her again

Blur

British rock group Blur formed in 1988 and began life as a fairly unsuccessful shoegaze/madchester outfit, but the band quickly developed into becoming one of the leaders of the massive 1990s Britpop scene.

Their rivalry with contemporaries Oasis culminated in one of the most famous chart battles in British history – one which Blur won when “Country House” outsold Oasis’s “Roll With It” by 50,000 copies, giving Blur their first #1 single in the process.

Following this, the group embarked on a new musical direction, deliberately heading away from their trademark Britpop sound and instead taking influences from American alternative rock, a sound which earned them new fans in the US and gave them their second UK #1: “Beetlebum” in 1997.
