Blurt is an English post-punk band, founded in 1979 in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
Blurt was founded in 1979 in Stroud, Gloucestershire by poet, saxophonist and puppeteer Ted Milton along with Milton's brother Jake, formerly of psychedelic group Quintessence, on drums and Peter Creese on guitar. After three albums Creese left the band to be replaced by Herman Martin on synthesizers who, after a year of constant touring left the band, and was replaced by Steve Eagles, former member of Satan's Rats, The Photos and Bang Bang Machine.
Shortly thereafter Jake Milton left to be replaced by Nic Murcott, who left shortly thereafter and was subsequently replaced by Paul Wigens. Eagles was replaced by Chris Vine as guitarist from 1990 to 1994, and returned to the band following Vine's departure. Wigens was briefly replaced by Charles Hayward between May and October 2001 before returning to the band, before departing the band for good in 2005. His replacement was Bob Leith, who stayed with the band until 2008, at which time he was replaced by the band's current drummer Dave Aylward.
Blurt is a music print magazine and online outlet originally based in Carrboro, NC. The magazine was originally known as Harp Magazine for over 10 years and was considered one of the best music magazines of the decade in the early 2000s. After Harp folded in 2008, Blurt was founded by Harp owner Scott Crawford and based in Silver Spring, MD. Some of the main writers and editors for Harp are also with Blurt, including chief editor, Fred Mills.
Blurt's tag line is "Real Music, Real Artists, Real Opinions". Blurt is a highly respected outlet within the music industry and has often been sighted by critics and fans as the Mojo magazine of the United States. In early 2010, Blurt sold its assets to Second Motion Entertainment and the company moved to the label's home of Carrboro, NC. Second Motion Entertainment also owns the record label Second Motion Records who works with such artists as Australia's The Church, Bettie Serveert, Swervedriver and Tommy Keene.
Although Blurt is updated daily with new music features, news and information it is also a print magazine that is distributed internationally and as of 2012 had 11 issues. Previous covers have been devoted to artists such as: Sonic Youth, The Avett Brothers, PJ Harvey and Wilco. The magazine also hosts an annual day party in Austin at the SXSW Music Festival at the Gingerman Pub.
Yeah, I gave you my heart and I gave you my soul
That's not enough, will you want more?
Like the writing on an ancient wall
You're a mystery that I'll never solve
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Well, I've walked along the red canal of Mars
I've known kings and king makers, poets, painters and paupers
I've danced, danced on the rings of Saturn
Still your pilgrim soul is the only thing that ever mattered
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me, rock it
Yeah, this old world ain't always what it seems
Sometimes I feel I'm living in someone else's dream
There's a face I know that I've never seen
Still a hundred million miles ten thousand years
Ain't going to change a thing
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
Yeah, you're everywhere but you're just not there for me
For me
