Greetings, Hiveans. 🤠 How do you feel about a piece of #britpop for today's #threetunetuesday? Welcome: **SUEDE!** 

--------
<br>

Suede (known is USA as the London Suede, due to legal issues) is among #britpop genre AAA bands, together with Blur, Oasis, Pulp etc. Not being a fan of this genre itself, I still appreciate a lot of this 90-es stuff which, er... which I listened to when my youth was ending and mutating into so-called adulthood. so there was a certain amount of imprinting and I'm probably being subjective. one way or another, but I value some Suede songs very highly, and I'll try to introduce you to them.

And I will start with the fact that (as the Smash Hits music critic Alex Needham called it): "The terrible truth is that Suede used to be brilliant until their old guitarist/tunesmith Bernard Butler left, and now they're just pleasantly average." I love the word tunesmith a lot, I love the person of Bernard Butler in all his instances, and.... damn. I hate watching their later music videos, where Butler is replaced by a new "handsome young boy" (he is a musical idiot). I hate this whole story so much. But I love the early era Suede LPs.

## Suede - So Young
<center>https://youtu.be/twoO3xYRsz0?si=MfYbYQXBrUxdzcZB</center><center><sub>(B-side from «Suede» LP, 1993)</sub></center>
<div class="pull-left"><p>
The song became fourth (and final) single from the bands debut LP released on 17 May 1993 on Nude Records, which charted at #22 at UK Singles Chart. </p></div><div class="pull-right"><p>
In this video you can see Bernard Butler is hugging his guitar - exactly like Jonny Greenwood ex Radiohead. Same-mindset-folks, might be?..
</p></div>

Suede's second LP named 'Dog man star' is a different story that I suggest to skip this time (it would take me a long separate post to review it). Let me just tell you - it was the band's best album, and - surprisingly - the band's 'swan song', as we found out later...
<br>
## Suede - Beautiful Ones
<center>https://youtu.be/xqovGKdgAXY?si=iArYVA5_ZG3mbivi</center><center><sub>(official video; from «Coming Up» LP, 1996)</sub></center>
<div class="pull-left"><p>
This song became a top-10 hit in the United Kingdom, peaking at number eight. I loved it on its own, even before I stumbled upon the official video. And the video, for me personally, turned into a real bomb! 
</p></div><div class="pull-right"><p>
A luxurious, creative mix of irony and typography, with the search for words and things in the surrounding world (even though in this case it was just a trivial "la-la"). Totally my cup of tea! (I count this clip in the top 100 musical videos ever list).
</p></div>

## Suede - Europe Is Our Playground
<center>https://youtu.be/LGW7JghZ3A8?si=xkXbJ6xGn_sV_QNz</center><center><sub>(one of singles b-sides from «Coming Up» LP, 1996)</sub></center>
<div class="pull-left"><p>
A great song and a nice appealing video (directed by Simon Gilbert, the band's drummer) containing some precious footage from the band early days.
</p></div><div class="pull-right"><p>
I love its mood and can listen to this song on repeat, non-stop, for days.

...and one more I could not resist to add, as a bonus:

## Suede - Have You Ever Been This Low?

## Russian version

Suede (известные в США как London Suede по чисто юридическим причинам) входят в число ведущих групп жанра #britpop, наряду с Blur, Oasis, Pulp и т. д. Не являясь поклонником этого жанра, я все же ценю многое из этой кучи, просто потому что это 90-е, именно под эту музыку моя юность заканчивалась и мутировала в так называемую "взрослую жизнь". Таким образом, определенный импринтинг имел место - и я скорее всего субъективен. Так или иначе, отказывая группе в статусе великой, некоторые песни Suede я все же ценю очень высоко, и приглашаю вас оценить их тоже. Хотя эпоха конечно ушла - и теперь наверно уже поздно.

А начну я с секрета, который поведал всему свету музыкальный критик Alex Needham со страниц тинейджеровского журнала Smash Hits. Примерно вот такими словами: "Ужасная правда заключается в том, что Suede были блестящими, пока из группы не ушел их старый гитарист/музыкодел Бернард Батлер, а после они стали одними из многих - просто "приятно средними". Мне до зуда нравится слово "tunesmith", мне нравится личность Бернарда Батлера во всех его проявлениях, нравится его наивная физиономия, и... черт! Я ненавижу смотреть поздние видео, в которых вместо Батлера публике подсовывают того нового красивого мальчика, чье имя я никогда не удосуживался запомнить. (Против Батлер он просто музыкальный идиот, а даже если и нет - то полюбому, его роль в группе - торговать лицом, лол). Я ненавижу всю эту историю. Но люблю первые две пластинки Suede.

In my opinion these are a rare exception to the overall rule <b>'They don't do it like that anymore!</b> Lucky we.
