Скачать или смотреть Damon Albarn Nails Blur's OUT OF TIME - The Nearer The Fountain launch -Shakespeare's Globe 9'21

Beautiful live rendition of Blur's Out of Time at a one-of-a-kind event premiering Albarn's new album The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows (out November 12, 2021). The concert was a stunning amalgamation of Albarn's solo music and tracks from his other projects, including Blur, Gorillaz, The Good, The Bad and the Queen and the Dr Dee opera score. Albarn was accompanied by Mike Smith, Femi Koleoso on drums, Simon Tong on guitar, Seye Adelekan on bass, Seckou Keita on the kora, Arngeir Hauksson on the theorbo, a violin tercet and countertenor Christopher Robson.

"Out of Time” was released as the lead single from Blur’s seventh album Think Tank in 2003. “Out of Time” was Blur’s first release in three years and also the band’s first release without guitarist Graham Coxon. It reached #5 in the UK Singles Chart.The song is a bass-driven track with minimal drums and acoustic guitar accompanied by eastern and orchestral flourishes. The faint screaming noise at the start of the track is a sound clip from Doctor Who. Since the 2009 reunion, the song has been a staple of Blur’s live sets, albeit in a slightly different arrangement featuring Coxon playing electric guitar. In 2011 NME placed it at number 73 on its list “150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years” and placed 8th on its list “Greatest Tracks of the Decade”.

Albarn's new album The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows was initiated by the Lyon Festival commissioning Albarn to 'do whatever he wanted' and started life in 2019 as an orchestral project and live experience, inspired by the landscapes of Iceland. Albarn returned to the music in lockdown to develop the work into 11 tracks which “further explore themes of fragility, loss, emergence and rebirth”. The album title is from a John Clare poem Love and Memory. Albarn said during the concert that he created the music imagining a band playing on an abandoned cruise ship in an icy bay, with no one able to hear it..

Where's the love song to set us free?
Too many people down
Everything turning the wrong way 'round
And I don't know what love would be
But if we stop dreaming now
Lord knows we'd never clear the clouds

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

Feel the sunshine on your face
It's in a computer now
Gone to the future way out in space

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time

And you've been so busy lately
That you haven't found the time
To open up your mind
And watch the world spinning
Gently out of time
Tell me I'm not dreaming
But are we out of time?

We're out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
Out of time
