out of time
~blur~

where's the love song
set us free
too many people down
everything turning the wrong way round
and i don't know what love will be
but if we start dreaming now
lord knows we'll 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 are 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

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


just saw the video for the first time, which is brilliant. it is a band-less video, following a female us marine & fighterpilot who is stationed on a warship through her preparations, ending with her standing on the runway on the ship, looking at the sunset while subtitles suggest that she is thinking about the end of her relationship with her partner, another marine.
"Like the song the video is a tender piece of work about distance and loss. It aims to distil the song's beauty into a new and unexpected place."

brilliant.

the first blur song in years that i like upon first hearing, which the boy will doubtlessly be happy to hear. - even though, i too, expect that he won't fail to notice possible references to us...
