When Was Lirik Blur Coffee And Tv Released?

I still hum the melody sometimes when I walk past a café, so your question hits home — if you want the lirik for Blur's 'Coffee & TV', there are a few reliable, legal places I always check first. For quick lookups I usually go to sites that license lyrics like Musixmatch or LyricFind (they power a lot of the in-app lyric displays). Type "Blur 'Coffee & TV' lyrics" or if you prefer Indonesian phrasing, "lirik Blur 'Coffee & TV'" into Google and those services usually come up near the top. Genius is another great option because it pairs the words with annotations and background info — I love reading anecdotes about the recording while the song plays. Spotify and Apple Music also show synced lyrics for many songs, so if you stream 'Coffee & TV' there you can follow along in real time. If you want something tactile, check secondhand record shops or music stores for the album '13' — sometimes the CD or vinyl sleeve has liner notes. For chord sheets and partial lyrics, Ultimate Guitar is handy, and for sheet music you can search stores like Musicnotes or Hal Leonard. If you’d like, I can point you to a specific link or summarize the song’s lyrics and themes instead of posting them word-for-word — might be nicer to keep things legal and still get what you need.

Hearing 'Coffee & TV' on a wet afternoon turned one of those boring commutes into a small revelation for me. The tune is deceptively bright — jangly guitars, a singalong chorus — but the words pull in a different direction: it's about wanting to escape a life that feels small and stuck. Graham Coxon wrote and sang it, and a lot of listeners read the song as a personal note about his struggles, the loneliness of being on the road, and the urge to break free from habits that numb you. There's this repeated sense of wanting to get out of the house and find something real beyond the everyday routine of tea, coffee, and the glowing box of the television. I always think about the music video too — the milk carton searching for a missing person — because it makes the song's quiet desperation literal. Mundane objects (coffee, TV) become stand-ins for isolation and repeated patterns that keep someone from connecting. Sonically, the cheerful melody plays like a mask, which is why the song punches harder: the music invites you in, and the lyrics quietly confess. When I listen now I notice little production choices — the slightly rough vocal, the acoustic leaning — that make it feel intimate rather than fully polished. If you're trying to grasp the meaning, give it a couple of listens while paying attention to the gaps between lines. Also look up interviews with Coxon from around the '13' era; he talks more bluntly about feeling lost and trying to stop numbing himself. For me, the song still lands as a bittersweet plea to live honestly, even when ordinary comforts try to keep you sleeping through life.

Okay, here's a practical, play-along version that worked for me when I was learning 'Coffee & TV'—I like to keep things straightforward so you can focus on singing and the little milk-carton solo later. Chords I use (capo 2 to match the recorded pitch): G, D, Em, C. If you don’t use a capo, those shapes sound in A (so capo 2 just brings it up to match the record). Intro/Verse: G D Em C (repeated). Pre-chorus / build: Em C G D. Chorus: Em C G D (same loop but sing higher and let the guitar ring). Strumming: a lazy down-down-up-up-down-up works well at about 96–100 bpm. For the intro riff, try single-note picking on the G string around the 7th–5th frets (or use an easy octave melody on the B and high E strings) — simple single notes give the tune its character without needing the exact original tablature. If you want a fuller sound, add a Cadd9 instead of C and a G/B passing bass note between G and Em.

Ever since that milk-carton video got stuck in my head, I’ve been telling people the same thing: 'Coffee & TV' was written by Graham Coxon. I got into Blur through mixtapes and late-night radio, and this song always felt like a moment where the guitarist stepped forward with something intensely personal. He not only wrote it, he also sings the lead on the track — which was a rare flip from the usual Damon-fronted songs — and that shift gives the lyrics a different, slightly rawer tone that fans quickly noticed. If you dig into the story behind the track, you’ll find that Coxon’s voice and perspective shaped both melody and words, and while Blur sometimes credits songs to the band, the creative heart of 'Coffee & TV' is very much his. The single came off the album '13' and the song’s everyday domestic imagery — tea, coffee, small rituals — feels like the kind of observational lyric a guitarist-turned-vocalist would write when he’s stepping away from the group dynamic to say something solo. I still hum it when I’m making tea in the morning. It’s one of those tracks that proves a band can change the rules of who sings or writes and still make something iconic; for me, 'Coffee & TV' will always be Graham Coxon’s little rebellion, and one of Blur’s most human, oddly comforting moments.

I get a little sentimental whenever 'Coffee & TV' pops up on my playlists — it's one of those songs that never really left the room. These days it sits comfortably in the classic Britpop corner of streaming services, turning up on nostalgia playlists, road-trip mixes, and morning coffee rotations. The music video with the milk carton dude is still iconic, so it keeps getting clicks when people do throwback dives on YouTube or share retro playlists on social media. From what I see casually scouring Spotify, YouTube, and even vinyl bins at record fairs, the song enjoys steady, long-tail popularity rather than sudden viral spikes. Younger listeners discover it through curated playlists or covers, while older fans revisit it for comfort. It's not topping charts like new pop bangers, but it's reliably present — which, for a late-'90s single, feels like quiet success. If you want to sense its current vibe, play it during a chilled morning; the reaction you get from fellow listeners says a lot.

I still get a little giddy when I think about that milk-carton wanderer from 'Coffee & TV' — it’s one of those 90s clips that sticks with you. If you’re looking for the official music video, the best place I go is YouTube: search for "Blur - 'Coffee & TV' (Official Video)" and look for the verified channel upload (usually on Blur’s channel or the BlurVEVO/official label channel). The upload description will normally include the label (like Parlophone/Universal) or an official band link, which is a good sign it’s legit. If you meant the official lyrics (since 'lirik' can mean lyrics in some languages), there isn’t always a band-released lyric video for older tracks. For accurate lyrics I check sites like Genius or the liner notes in reissues/special editions. Official band pages or streaming services (Apple Music sometimes has video content; Spotify mostly has the audio) are also solid sources for official releases. I’d avoid random uploads claiming to be "official" without the verified channel badge — those tend to be fan-made or audio-only. If YouTube is blocked in your country, the band’s official website or their social accounts often link to the video, and record label pages sometimes host it too. Hope that points you right — I always end up watching the video again when I find it, because Milky’s little journey never gets old.

I've come across a surprising number of covers of 'Coffee & TV' over the years — not always by huge mainstream stars, but by a ton of creative people online. I first heard a stripped-down acoustic version at a tiny open-mic night, and that moment stuck with me because the song’s riff and the chorus are weirdly perfect for intimate rearrangements. If you’re hunting for well-known or widely shared versions, look to YouTube and live-session channels: there are high-quality acoustic, piano, and band renditions with thousands (sometimes millions) of views. Many creators also post lyric covers, which is handy if you were searching for 'lirik' — sites like Genius and lyric videos on YouTube will get you the words and some fun annotations. Also check Spotify and SoundCloud for user playlists titled "Blur covers" or "Coffee & TV cover" — a few indie artists have had their versions picked up on curated playlists, which is how some covers gain fame. Personally, I love when someone keeps the original melancholy but flips the arrangement — it breathes new life into the melody and makes the lyrics land differently.

There’s something so satisfying about playing 'Coffee & TV' by 'Blur' on an acoustic and singing along — it’s one of those songs that sounds fuller than it is. If you want a quick, singable version, try this setup: capo on 2 (optional — helps you hit Damon’s range without straining), and use simple open chords: G, D, Em, C, and Am. A comfortable progression that gets you through most of the tune is: Verse: G - D - Em - C; Pre-chorus: Am - C - D; Chorus: G - D - Em - C. Strumming: a relaxed pattern like D D U U D U (down, down, up, up, down, up) with light accents on the 2 and 4 feels right. For the intro riff and little melodic fills, listen and try to mimic the vocal guitar motif on the high strings — you can play single-note fills around the G major pentatonic (on the high E and B strings) to taste. If you like fingerpicking, play the verse as alternating bass (root note) and then pick the higher strings: thumb on the bass, then fingers pluck the B and high E for the melody bits. Practice slow, sing a phrase, then add the guitar. If you want, I can write a short tab for the intro riff or suggest a capo position based on your vocal range — tell me whether you prefer easy chords or a more faithful riffy version.
