On Your Own (Blur song)

"On Your Own" is a song by Blur. It was released as a single on 16 June 1997, and can also be found on the album Blur. It charted at number 5 on the UK singles chart. The song is used in The Beach (2000).

Although it wasn't released exclusively under the name, Damon Albarn, frontman of both musical projects, has since referred the song as 'one of the first ever Gorillaz tunes'.

Music video

The music video for "On your Own" was directed by Sophie Muller and recorded in Barcelona, in what at the moment was an industrial site, by the Besos Water Tower.

B-Sides

The B-sides were all recorded at John Peel's home studio; Peel Acres. They were previously broadcast on BBC Radio 1 on 8 May 1997. An extensive interview was also broadcast, but is currently commercially unavailable. Stickered copies of CD1 and the white vinyl 7" featured the text 'includes POPSCENE'. This is because "Popscene" did not appear on the UK version of Modern Life is Rubbish and was, therefore, rare and sought after by fans until its inclusion on Midlife: A Beginner's Guide to Blur. The version that appears here merges into "Song 2". All of Blur's Peel Sessions were later released on the second disc of the Japan only compilation Bustin' + Dronin', an album that features three versions of "On Your Own".

On Your Own (The Verve song)

"On Your Own" is a song by British rock band The Verve, and is featured on their second album, A Northern Soul. It was released 12 June 1995 as the second single from the album charting at #28 in the UK Singles Chart (see 1995 in British music).

Lyrics

The song appears to be based on the work of The Smiths, using some of their techniques, such as adding major sevenths - and even features a lyric close to the one in How Soon Is Now?:

"You come in on your own and you leave on your own"

This Verve lyric can find easy comparisons with:

"and you stand on your own and you leave on your own".

Lead singer Richard Ashcroft also recorded an acoustic version of On Your Own that contained only piano and acoustic guitar, in addition to Ashcroft's vocals. The vinyl version is green and features the B-Side I See The Door. A small number of the green vinyl release were misprinted and featured the track "Friends" by Daryll-Ann. Nearly all misprinted copies were destroyed, making it a highly collectable single.
