Overview Edit

"End of a Century" is a song by Blur. It was the last single to be released from their third album Parklife and reached #19 on the UK Singles Chart in 1994. The video is a live performance recorded at Alexandra Palace.

The lyrics seem to emphasise the (then) up-coming millennium change and the fact that people contemplate the future rather than take care of the present. The line from the song is "End of a Century // It's nothing special".

Damon Albarn later stated that "End of a Century" may not have been the best choice for the band's fourth single, and that "This Is a Low" would have been the alternative.
