"Yes, the future has been sold"



The Universal is one of the most famous songs by the british band Blur. It was released on 1995 and is featured on their 4th studio album "The Great Escape". 

The song  is a critique of the consumer and superficial society we live in, although this critique becomes stronger on the music video, which was directed by Jonathan Glazer.


The music video is based on scenes of "The Clockwork Orange" and the lead singer tried to emulate Alex DeLarge's look.  In this video we can see the band looking around while playing in a bar painted all white, in front of some exaggerated characters who pretend to represent the society we live in.
 

I hope you enjoy the video as much as I do!
