Blur: Song 2 - Inside The Song discussion with Graham Coxon

RandallFlagg

I love these Inside The Song videos from Warren Huart's Produce Like A Pro channel. Here's a breakdown of Blur's Song 2 with original recording stems, interesting how it was recorded as a throw away with just a scratch vocal that made the final track.

Brilliant, enjoyed that.

I’m on a real Blur & Graham fest at the moment too...

Love how disgusting the guitar and bass are on this.

Graham is a total legend.

My favourite story I saw him telling was about the solo on "Coffee and TV" where he just improvised what he thought was some noises as a placeholder on the track and when he said he needed to record a proper solo everyone said he got it right first time.

Song 2 is a masterpiece, Blur really were superb on their day

The irony is now Miley Cyrus feels heavy metal...

Hang on. That's not irony at all. Just another pop band showing rockers how it's done. Swines!

Brilliant song. Another of those where you hear such a simple, memorable riff and wonder how no-one came up with it before.

I used to love Song 2 but for some reason over the last few years I've really grown to detest Blur.

I like Blur, Damon is a excellent songwriter and Graham Coxon is a terrific player but I was shocked when I first heard him speak years ago, I wasn't expecting that voice from him!

Coxon always reminds me of Ralph from "Dear John"
