"Blurry" is a 2001 song by Puddle of Mudd,it is the band first succesful single released as their second single from the album Come Clean.
The song is the band's best known song, reaching the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and Hot Modern Rock Tracks charts for ten and nine weeks, respectively. This soon propelled the single to mainstream success, reaching the #5 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay[1] and Billboard Hot 100.[2] The song is also the band's highest selling U.S. single ever, with sales of 753,000 copies, as of 2010.[3]
"Blurry" is about a break-up, as well as cowardice. The song was primarily written about how lead singer Wes Scantlin misses his real-life son, Jordan, which is also played by him.
It is best known for its refrain, from which it derived its secondary name: "Can you take it all away? / Can you take it all away? / When you shoved it in my face / This pain you gave to me". Guitar One magazine named Ardito's “Blurry” harmonic riff as one of its “Top Ten Riffs of the Decade".
Music video
The music video for the song shows Scantlin playing with his son, Jordan, interspersed with shots of the band playing in a garage. Towards the end, as the song picks up, it shows Jordan driving off in the back seat with a man and a woman in the front seat (presumably Jordan's mother and stepfather), as Wes watches the car sadly. The video was directed by Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst.
