Blur - There Are Too Many of Us [Acoustic Cover]

Описание: An acoustic cover of There Are Too Many of Us by Blur from the incredible "Magic Whip" record.

I love Blur, they are one of my favourite bands and I dont have enough Blur covers on my channel so I wanted to fix that. I love pretty much everything they've ever done but the Magic Whip especially blew me away. First of all, its the album we never thought we were going to get, but for it to be so good blew my mind. I lapped it all up, including the limited edition ice cream they made to coincide with its release.

My favourite thing about The Magic Whip however is how, by Damon's own admission (and design) it speaks of isolation. I love that Albarn took himself off to Korea to write the vocals alone and without a phone. What you get from that is this incredible song. Instrumentally, it sounds like Cloudbusting by Kate Bush had it been written by XTC, which in iteself is incredible. But then, enter the vocals and its just this incredible song that I adore.

I love the chord structure on this, so much so that I had to cover it. In the interest of full disclosure, I had never played this song before recording it, and I didnt even practice. I simply got the chord sheet from Ultimate Guitar, pressed record and what you are looking at here is my first attempt. One mistake aside, I'm very pleased with it.

Thank you for watching.
