This song is like a virtual hug. Like it’s saying “I know everything sucks right now, it’ll all work out. It’ll be okay.” It’s a weird feeling that I can describe as sad, melancholy, comforting, nostalgic, optimistic, calming, empty, but also complete at the same time. One of my favorites by gorillaz and I’ll forever love it.
It also quite nicely dovetails with the bittersweet music video. Yes, pirates sunk the ship, but Noodles still fought bravely, killed one of the attackers and survived. The band drove off the monster, shooting at him - although he still takes the manatee with him. Nothing is perfect :)
I got the message as you can save someone with pain to live with it or die from it. Death was killing the seal but they shot at it so it went back in water so it lives but death goes with it.
@@patchedout___3195 I'm pretty sure this style is a bit influenced by Robert Valley, due to the shading the characters have, they look very similar to "ice" for example
I love how active this comment section is, even after 10+ years of this song being out. Really just goes to show how timeless Gorillaz’ songs can be :)
❤ prayers my friend 🙏 it doesn’t get easier I lost my mom 5 years ago. Still hits me like it was yesterday but as time goes on you learn to live with it and cherish the memories and live for those memories. ❤
Gorillaz haven't aged a bit. Watching this in 2019 feels the same as always whenever I watch these again and again. It's like a trip to memory lane but you don't get sick of it. Take Note : Don't worry. This will never get old. It's a classic. Take Note(2): It's been two years and many things changed. I love it. My life is sort of grim but I can't lose my bits I can't stop and help myself that music keeps my mind in check. Take Note(3): 3 years? Wow. Time flies by and some cool dude in the replies named Smith recommended me a great band to jam on. Still checking more out.
Lyrics: Up on melancholy hill There's a plastic tree Are you here with me Just looking out on the day Of another dream Well you can't get what you want But you can get me So let's set out to sea 'Cause you are my medicine When you're close to me When you're close to me So call in the submarines 'Round the world will go Does anybody know her? If we're looking out on the day Of another dream If you can't get what you want Then you come with me Up on melancholy hill Sits a manatee Just looking out for the day When you're close to me When you're close to me When you're close to me
Hard to believe 14 years have passed it feels like it was yesterday my friend showed me gorillaz and we would go for cruises at 2 am… really miss those old times now I don’t have any of those friends in my life now just an boring depressing life :/
It was mostly a joke, but they have many more animation styles than two. There is multiple animation styles within their 2d and 3d styles. They have almost never kept the exact style. This video includes multiple ones
Nearly 14 years later and this song still brings me to tears, it's so nostalgic, romantic, uplifting and well...melancholy. No matter what I think Gorillaz will have a place in my life as a calming reminder of my childhood when things didn't seem as grim.
@That1Th3rian.. the lyrics have a lot of romantic themes to them like "when you can't get what you want but you can get me, so let's set out to sea love, cause you are my medicine when you're close to me"
Gorillaz are one of the greatest bands in music history because they aren't afraid to experiment with so many different genres, animation styles, outfits, stories, and even characters, I think it's part of what makes them such a perfect band
I honestly think they were not afraid because thats how they started and we got used to all these genres from them unlike other artists who focus on one genre that we got used to hear from then for then for them to change it. The fans would be shoked and angry mabye,some might like it though because they got used to one kind of song
The painful nostalgia in this is almost unbearable for me. I always remember watching this music video with my Mum, it was around 2010, back when Channel 4 used to premiere new music videos late at night... Me and Mum used to always stay up late together, putting the world to rights. She died in 2014. I miss her every single day. I’m more or less alone now. Don’t have anyone now, really. So yeah, listening to this song always brings that moment back, I’m back with my Mum for just a few moments. It can be a painful listen if I’m not ready for it... it’s weird how music can hold so much.
i’m probably going through the most confusing time of my life right now, i’ve discovered more about myself in the last 2 months than i have in the last 5 years because of a girl, my parents’ divorce has gotten really bad and i could end up homeless for a time, my friends hardly make any effort to maintain any semblance of friendship and yet, somehow, i know that i’ll be okay. music is one of the only things that helps my head slow down and this song is up there w the ones that help the most.
I once binged watch and listen to their music and i'm hooked until now..so yeah Good for you fella for finding them music so good like anyone here do..
This song holds a special place in my heart. This is on repeat during the hardest months of my college life; pulling all nighters making my architectural thesis. There I am in my room having breakdowns for weeks and wondering whether I am good or even enough to graduate in college and to navigate this world. Thankfully this song calms me and gives a comforting, cozy vibe. Like a firefly in your hand glowing when every light in your world dimmed out, this song was my torch. I would've probably quit at that point if I didn't stumbled on this song. These may all sound dramatic but its true ahaha. I successfully passed my thesis and graduated last year. And this year I got my first job and am now getting closer to one of my dreams. So I thank you for creating this song; it gave me hope and will, still.
Your description of architecture school’s brutality is so accurate. They don’t call it architorture for nothing. I too thought many times that I’d never make it. Then I thought the same in early career and it didn’t help that the recession recovery was still slow in 2013. I found a rare niche in the industry that is a good fit for me and pays better than I ever imagined but it took 10 years to get there. 4x starting pay and no plans for licensure
Felicidades amigo, todo sacrificio trae consigo la recompensa. Que bonito que esa sea la canción de aquellos recuerdos que te hicieron crecer como persona, todo lo bueno para ti.
Listening to this at 11:11 on the last day of 2019 and it's making me remember good and bad moments of this year, I hope 2020 is great for all of you who read this.
1:23 so interesting how 2D is just solemnly watching over robo noodle. Also the way he cowers away after the squid emerges is adorably sweet, i just wanna hug him.
I've first heard this song 11 years ago and I immediately showed it to my family, specially to my mother and we loved it so much... Just one month after she passed away in a hospital... Years passed and I couldn't even hear this song completely without falling in tears sobbing a lot, the last bell ring reminded me she passed away, every time. Now, 11 years later, I still miss so much my mother, I can't even describe it. But I think I've started to heal because now this song makes me remember her being happy and I'm able to hear it from start to finish, in tears but with a smile. Thanks Gorillaz for this amazing, melancholy, beautiful peace of art!
Hey Gorillaz fans! I have just released my first album CRASTI LAND and since Gorillaz are among my biggest inspirations, I thought I might share the news with fellow fans :) I have worked really hard on this record and I would appreciate every single listen and review, thank you! Have a great day!
Absolutely love this song thank you tescos for bringing this song back . I think this song needs to at least be in the UK top 40 list again for this year the nostalgia I get from this makes me feel so happy 😊
@@hfszlrahim1189 murdoc ended up building the robot version because noodle dissapeared but she was apparently traveling and russel ended up driving off a cliff into the ocean and ate some radioactive stuff and that's why he grew so big
My 20 year old son loves Gorillaz as much as I do. He went to their concert in Detroit last night and he knows this is my favorite Gorillaz song. His seats were right behind the barricades so when they started playing this, he video called me so I could see them perform in live. It was so amazing and sweet of my son ❣️ hopefully one day, I'll get to go see them in concert myself.
My friends: “who do you have a crush on” Me: “ Cyborg Noodle (2009-2016, reactivated on 2018-) is a robotic replica of Noodle that served as a replacement of her during the third phase of the band. Cyborg Noodle was created by Murdoc Niccals on Plastic Beach from using the real Noodle's DNA samples he gathered from the crash site where the "El Mañana" music video was filmed. This robot clone was given the job of playing the guitar on the "Plastic Beach" album as well as being Murdoc's personal bodyguard. In the music video for the single, "Stylo", Murdoc, 2-D, and Cyborg Noodle were pursued by a law enforcement agent for speeding on an open highway in the Stylo Camaro belonging to Murdoc. Suffering from the bullet hole in her head, Cyborg Noodle became incapacitated with oil coming out after firing several shotgun shells at the police officer's vehicle. The trio were then pursued by an unknown bounty hunter (Bruce Willis) armed with a revolver who lost track of the three when they dive into the Pacific Ocean. Upon their descent into the ocean, Stylo transformed into a shark-like submarine. In the music video for the "On Melancholy Hill" single, Cyborg Noodle regained consciousness inside of the submarine. Upon regaining consciousness, she regurgitated an unusual one-eyed octopus. While the submarine continued its voyage to Plastic Beach, the trio engaged in a rendezvous with the band's collaborators who were also piloting submarines of their own individual design. Upon their arrival at Plastic Beach, the fleet encountered a mysterious assailant known as the Boogieman who was blocking the fleet's route to the studio with a manatee as a hostage. Murdoc, seemingly surprised to see the Boogieman, then ordered Cyborg Noodle to dispose of him with hostile force. The trio then climbed topside where Cyborg Noodle commenced her attack on the Boogieman. After firing two consecutive solid slug shells with her Remington 870, the Boogieman dragged the manatee into the sea and the fog cleared, revealing Plastic Beach. In the storyboard and Fan Made video for the "Rhinestone Eyes" video she is seen shooting at the Boogieman who appears attacking Plastic Beach. She then runs to get more guns and ammo. She is then shown blowing up the door and taking cover behind a tree. Later, on near the end of the video, the now giant Russel comes out of the sea and stares at Cyborg Noodle. Then the real Noodle steps out of Russel's mouth. Cyborg Noodle looks shocked, while the real Noodle pulls off her cat mask showing the bruise on her eye caused by the attack at El Manana. Noodle stares at Cyborg Noodle while the video ends. Although a showdown against Noodle and Cyborg Noodle was never shown it's said in an interview with Murdoc that Noodle killed the cyborg when it started going "wonky" (or she malfunctioned) and tried to kill Murdoc. This was later revealed to be a lie on Murdoc's part, as the Book of Murdoc notes that Cyborg joined Murdoc in his escape, serving as a perfect shipmate on the submarine. My friends: “what the fu-“
I am a newbie Gorillaz fan and I feel about this band exactly the way this song makes me feel. Missing something I never knew i longed for. I bought concert tickets to their show on a whim because I heard they were really good live. I knew and liked a handful of their songs -- I mean, who doesn't like Feel Good Inc -- but never really dove into their discography before. I just saw them in Boston two days ago. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Seeing them live was INCREDIBLE. I was BLOWN AWAY. Mind you, I had no expectations or true personal connections to many of the songs. I am so sad that I'm just really getting to know and love them as a band. But I am also so happy that I get to experience the euphoria of discovering new songs that will be my forever favorites. And this song does it for me.
I've been into gorillaz for as long as i can remember, but only got around to seeing them in july of this year. and that changed EVEYRTHING for me, i swear if you hear their songs live you'll never listen to them the same. anyway welcome to the fam!!! this band is truly such a gem and it's nice when people listen further than the most well known tracks :)
I remember listening to Clint Eastwood back when I was playin NBA2K14 (it was in the game's soundtrack) back in maybe 2014-2015... but I really got deep into listening to them back in middle school (2017-18) and I seen my then crush listenin to a song from Humanz, so I started listening, and never looked back! Oh yea, my then crush wasn't impressed when she caught me listening to them😅😅Unfortunately, after I started homeschooling after my freshman year of high school (2019) I kinda fell off from listening... but I got back in the mix back in 2021, now I'm back!!! This band is soooo great, when listening to this song, it makes me nostalgic, sad, happy, makes me wanna cry. I DONT KNOW WHY OR HOW, it just does. It's a great song
Fun Fact: this is probably the best video on RUclips in 2010 with quality seriously everything in 2010 RUclips was Minecraft and 144p slideshows. Good Times
There is something ominous and unsettling on how that final note sounds... it's a d minor chord, after the entire song has been in d major, just the way it switches is haunting to me. And I love it, dunno why.
This sound has legit saved my life on some really dark days. Not just the lyrics but just how it really sounds and makes me feel like I can overcome any hardship I have. I feel so fortunate that they still make music to this day. Thank you gorillaz and thank you Damon.

Up on Melancholy Hill There's a plastic tree. Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day Of another dream Well you can't get what you want But you can get me. So let's set out to sea 'Cause you are my medicine When you're close to me When you're close to me So calling all submarines 'Round the world we'll go. Does anybody know, love If we're looking out on the day Of another dream? If you can't get what you want Then come with me. Up on Melancholy Hill Sits a manatee Just looking out on the day When you're close to me. When you're close to me. When you're close to me.
Found this during lock down and it was already a couple of years old and became one of my go to songs and now in the Tesco adverts it should go back into the charts and get the reconciliation it deserves
lol yes. one day my mom said "hey is that gorillaz" and i was so shocked. she doesn't usually listen to anything remotely similar to anything gorillaz has made
For those who want the lore. This is the first time we have seen noodle after we presumed she died. Murdoc made a robot noodle in her absence to help with the bands production. The 2 planes at the start are assumed to be the same 2 that originally "killed her" (The 3d noodle with the bullet in her head is robot noodle) Russell and noodle had nothing to do with the production of this song Russell tried to run from his past and the drums you hear were made by Murdoc after using old recordings of Russell drumming. After kong studios gets destroyed murdoc finds plastic beach which is the island in the video. As he originally arrives plastic beach is just a ton of landfill, so he pains it pink and builds a new hq on top of it. The boogie man is there to collect murdocs soul after murdoc doesnt repay the deal he made with the devil to make gorillaz successful. Edit: The reason Russell is so big is because he dived into the river on a shore far away and has swam all the way to plastic beach, all the chemicals and waste have increased his size The shark they are In is the same car bruce Willis chased them in and once it jumped into the water it turns into the shark sub.
@@AXharoth no it's not real. They gorillaz have their own Cinematic universe kinda like marvel where it's all connected but still fiction. There is so much lore in all of it
The whole Gorillaz project is so inspirational, I always feel like they were far ahead of its time both acording to visual and grapic design but also when it comes to music production. I love how their sound always develop no matter what the critics have to say and I think that is where the music industry should be heading. Anyways this is my most listened song of all time and it had great impact of my life so thanks Gorillaz, thanks for existing and helping myself achieve my goals through youtube and music couldn't have done it without you. Much love /CEO Striped Sounds
Yea in general for sure but they also have had a lot of criticism whenever they tried something new where people wanted them to go back to their roots. Here is where a lot of artists tend to fall back and play it safe and radio-friendly. Wheter it's the right or wrong decision comes down to every single individual, since music is subjective.
Lyrics Up on melancholy hill There's a plastic tree Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day of another dream Well, you can't get what you want but you can get me So let's set out to sea, love 'Cause you are my medicine When you're close to me When you're close to me So call in the submarine 'Round the world we'll go Does anybody know, love? If we're looking out on the day of another dream If you can't get what you want then you come with me Up on melancholy hill sits a manatee Just looking out for the day When you're close to me When you're close to me When you're close to me
it took me years to notice this but that is neither the real noodle, nor is it a real tommy gun. first off tommy guns aren't ambidextrous, what this means is that they will only ever eject empty cases to the right, never to the left. this also isn't the real noodle because noodle is right handed, the girl with the mask is holding the gun left handed.
@@windhelmguard5295 Or that particular section of the animation got mirrored for production reasons or in oversight. Seems the more likely explanation.
I originally thought the gun was a PPsh 41 but looking at it now it has a Thomson foregrip and doesn't have the barrel/muzzle of a papasha. Also someone animated the storyboard and it was totally approved of by the gorillaz with a "👊"
@@Z0RD. As we see all through out Gorillaz lore, music videos, etc, we see that Murdoc has always overpowered 2d, belittling him to the point of no longer feeling happy or confident of himself.
@@Z0RD. It could be the art style choice for this album, showing him at his lowest point being at his lowest height (rim shot, please.) It was probably significant toward how Jamie Hewlett felt 2d would feel, and with his cartoonish art style conveyed that emotion in physical form. But thats just my theory
For some reason this feeling of peace and sadness. I cannot explain it. But every time I feel hopeless or stressed or anxious, this song helps me. It has a huge impact on me. On Melancholy Hill will remain the best Gorillaz song for me ever in my heart.
Does anyone else physically FEEL melancholy listening to this? I listened to this song a lot around may right before I moved and working on a play with all my friends and now I’m listening to it and seeing how much has changed, how much I lost and what I gained is weirdly saddening but kinda nurturing as well. Gorillaz put feeling into every cord and beat in this song and it’s just so good
This album came out the same year I graduated high school and went to college. This song feels like leaving old things behind and starting a new chapter
I actually feel hopeful and happy listening to it. The song is saying "our lives are messed up and full of despair, but if we pull through and climb this hill, we can make it ok. We may even find something new to entertain ourselves with". It's still definitely a sad song, but there's an underlying happy message in there.
Dig on that - he looks kinda contented or something. Like he's just carrying on, y'know? Doing his best and truly, honestly okay with that much. Kinda rings true with the rest of the song to me
This is my ringtone. Had been for a couple years now. This is my go to seeing, my refuge. The song i need to hear when it's really stressful. And it's the sound. Not the words
Noodle: secret Japanese experiment to make the ultimate fighting machine. Russel: Witnessed all his friends die in a shooting and was possessed by the ghost of his best friend. Murdock: Sold his own and his band mates souls to become a popular band. 2-D: Just has fully black eyes
He has 8ball fractures in his eyes. He's legally blind because of them. The reason his eyes are black is because so much blood filled them when he got the 8ball fractures.

Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set out to sea
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
So call in the submarines
'Round the world will go
Does anybody know her?
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream
If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me
Up on melancholy hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So yeah, listening to this song always brings that moment back, I’m back with my Mum for just a few moments. It can be a painful listen if I’m not ready for it... it’s weird how music can hold so much.
that’s beautiful. i’m sorry for your loss ❤️
I know what you’re going through. Let us feel this love together so that we may not be alone. If even for a few moments.
Hugs!

This song holds a special place in my heart. This is on repeat during the hardest months of my college life; pulling all nighters making my architectural thesis. There I am in my room having breakdowns for weeks and wondering whether I am good or even enough to graduate in college and to navigate this world. Thankfully this song calms me and gives a comforting, cozy vibe. Like a firefly in your hand glowing when every light in your world dimmed out, this song was my torch. I would've probably quit at that point if I didn't stumbled on this song. These may all sound dramatic but its true ahaha. I successfully passed my thesis and graduated last year. And this year I got my first job and am now getting closer to one of my dreams. So I thank you for creating this song; it gave me hope and will, still.
Your description of architecture school’s brutality is so accurate. They don’t call it architorture for nothing. I too thought many times that I’d never make it. Then I thought the same in early career and it didn’t help that the recession recovery was still slow in 2013. I found a rare niche in the industry that is a good fit for me and pays better than I ever imagined but it took 10 years to get there. 4x starting pay and no plans for licensure
Felicidades amigo, todo sacrificio trae consigo la recompensa. Que bonito que esa sea la canción de aquellos recuerdos que te hicieron crecer como persona, todo lo bueno para ti.
I need to apply myself like you i want to live my dreams to i want to have dreams
will also be taking my architectural thesis next year, thanks for the tips, will definitely go back here just to listen to this song 😀

Miss him more than life itself..❤❤❤
I've first heard this song 11 years ago and I immediately showed it to my family, specially to my mother and we loved it so much...
Just one month after she passed away in a hospital...
Years passed and I couldn't even hear this song completely without falling in tears sobbing a lot, the last bell ring reminded me she passed away, every time.
Now, 11 years later, I still miss so much my mother, I can't even describe it. But I think I've started to heal because now this song makes me remember her being happy and I'm able to hear it from start to finish, in tears but with a smile.
Thanks Gorillaz for this amazing, melancholy, beautiful peace of art!
Take care bro, God Bless you, sending a hug

My friends: “who do you have a crush on”
Me: “ Cyborg Noodle (2009-2016, reactivated on 2018-) is a robotic replica of Noodle that served as a replacement of her during the third phase of the band. Cyborg Noodle was created by Murdoc Niccals on Plastic Beach from using the real Noodle's DNA samples he gathered from the crash site where the "El Mañana" music video was filmed. This robot clone was given the job of playing the guitar on the "Plastic Beach" album as well as being Murdoc's personal bodyguard. In the music video for the single, "Stylo", Murdoc, 2-D, and Cyborg Noodle were pursued by a law enforcement agent for speeding on an open highway in the Stylo Camaro belonging to Murdoc. Suffering from the bullet hole in her head, Cyborg Noodle became incapacitated with oil coming out after firing several shotgun shells at the police officer's vehicle. The trio were then pursued by an unknown bounty hunter (Bruce Willis) armed with a revolver who lost track of the three when they dive into the Pacific Ocean. Upon their descent into the ocean, Stylo transformed into a shark-like submarine. In the music video for the "On Melancholy Hill" single, Cyborg Noodle regained consciousness inside of the submarine. Upon regaining consciousness, she regurgitated an unusual one-eyed octopus. While the submarine continued its voyage to Plastic Beach, the trio engaged in a rendezvous with the band's collaborators who were also piloting submarines of their own individual design. Upon their arrival at Plastic Beach, the fleet encountered a mysterious assailant known as the Boogieman who was blocking the fleet's route to the studio with a manatee as a hostage. Murdoc, seemingly surprised to see the Boogieman, then ordered Cyborg Noodle to dispose of him with hostile force. The trio then climbed topside where Cyborg Noodle commenced her attack on the Boogieman. After firing two consecutive solid slug shells with her Remington 870, the Boogieman dragged the manatee into the sea and the fog cleared, revealing Plastic Beach. In the storyboard and Fan Made video for the "Rhinestone Eyes" video she is seen shooting at the Boogieman who appears attacking Plastic Beach. She then runs to get more guns and ammo. She is then shown blowing up the door and taking cover behind a tree. Later, on near the end of the video, the now giant Russel comes out of the sea and stares at Cyborg Noodle. Then the real Noodle steps out of Russel's mouth. Cyborg Noodle looks shocked, while the real Noodle pulls off her cat mask showing the bruise on her eye caused by the attack at El Manana. Noodle stares at Cyborg Noodle while the video ends.
Although a showdown against Noodle and Cyborg Noodle was never shown it's said in an interview with Murdoc that Noodle killed the cyborg when it started going "wonky" (or she malfunctioned) and tried to kill Murdoc. This was later revealed to be a lie on Murdoc's part, as the Book of Murdoc notes that Cyborg joined Murdoc in his escape, serving as a perfect shipmate on the submarine.

I am a newbie Gorillaz fan and I feel about this band exactly the way this song makes me feel. Missing something I never knew i longed for. I bought concert tickets to their show on a whim because I heard they were really good live. I knew and liked a handful of their songs -- I mean, who doesn't like Feel Good Inc -- but never really dove into their discography before. I just saw them in Boston two days ago. And I haven't stopped thinking about it since. Seeing them live was INCREDIBLE. I was BLOWN AWAY. Mind you, I had no expectations or true personal connections to many of the songs. I am so sad that I'm just really getting to know and love them as a band. But I am also so happy that I get to experience the euphoria of discovering new songs that will be my forever favorites. And this song does it for me.
same, to be honest i wish i found them out sooner.
All three of us are the same person.
Yo I was at the Boston show live too
I've been into gorillaz for as long as i can remember, but only got around to seeing them in july of this year. and that changed EVEYRTHING for me, i swear if you hear their songs live you'll never listen to them the same. anyway welcome to the fam!!! this band is truly such a gem and it's nice when people listen further than the most well known tracks :)
I remember listening to Clint Eastwood back when I was playin NBA2K14 (it was in the game's soundtrack) back in maybe 2014-2015... but I really got deep into listening to them back in middle school (2017-18) and I seen my then crush listenin to a song from Humanz, so I started listening, and never looked back! Oh yea, my then crush wasn't impressed when she caught me listening to them😅😅Unfortunately, after I started homeschooling after my freshman year of high school (2019) I kinda fell off from listening... but I got back in the mix back in 2021, now I'm back!!! This band is soooo great, when listening to this song, it makes me nostalgic, sad, happy, makes me wanna cry. I DONT KNOW WHY OR HOW, it just does. It's a great song

Hi I Recommend a Song called 'the bond villain' by Robert Nix
X2
For those who want the lore.
This is the first time we have seen noodle after we presumed she died. Murdoc made a robot noodle in her absence to help with the bands production. The 2 planes at the start are assumed to be the same 2 that originally "killed her"
(The 3d noodle with the bullet in her head is robot noodle)
Russell and noodle had nothing to do with the production of this song
Russell tried to run from his past and the drums you hear were made by Murdoc after using old recordings of Russell drumming.
After kong studios gets destroyed murdoc finds plastic beach which is the island in the video. As he originally arrives plastic beach is just a ton of landfill, so he pains it pink and builds a new hq on top of it. The boogie man is there to collect murdocs soul after murdoc doesnt repay the deal he made with the devil to make gorillaz successful.
Edit:
The reason Russell is so big is because he dived into the river on a shore far away and has swam all the way to plastic beach, all the chemicals and waste have increased his size
The shark they are In is the same car bruce Willis chased them in and once it jumped into the water it turns into the shark sub.
Whatever happened to Robot Noodle? Also how do you keep up with the lore?
@@destroyerblackdragon I myself check the wiki, likely the same as OP.
wow is this rl? but i still think manatee is hu manatee
@@AXharoth no it's not real. They gorillaz have their own Cinematic universe kinda like marvel where it's all connected but still fiction. There is so much lore in all of it
Robot noodle's head is a pot for a small tree
The whole Gorillaz project is so inspirational, I always feel like they were far ahead of its time both acording to visual and grapic design but also when it comes to music production. I love how their sound always develop no matter what the critics have to say and I think that is where the music industry should be heading. Anyways this is my most listened song of all time and it had great impact of my life so thanks Gorillaz, thanks for existing and helping myself achieve my goals through youtube and music couldn't have done it without you. Much love /CEO Striped Sounds
100% agree
Gorilaz taletelling was also ahead of its time lol
SAAAME
"no matter what the critics have to say"
All of their albums have come out to pretty much universal critical acclaim.
Yea in general for sure but they also have had a lot of criticism whenever they tried something new where people wanted them to go back to their roots. Here is where a lot of artists tend to fall back and play it safe and radio-friendly. Wheter it's the right or wrong decision comes down to every single individual, since music is subjective.

Music video: Noodle shooting down an F4U with a tommy gun
it took me years to notice this but that is neither the real noodle, nor is it a real tommy gun.
first off tommy guns aren't ambidextrous, what this means is that they will only ever eject empty cases to the right, never to the left.
this also isn't the real noodle because noodle is right handed, the girl with the mask is holding the gun left handed.
Jorgefango 5479 games and more or the animated one
@@windhelmguard5295 Or that particular section of the animation got mirrored for production reasons or in oversight. Seems the more likely explanation.
Well it may be a F4U but it appears to have the control yoke of a P38
I originally thought the gun was a PPsh 41 but looking at it now it has a Thomson foregrip and doesn't have the barrel/muzzle of a papasha.
Also someone animated the storyboard and it was totally approved of by the gorillaz with a "👊"
I like this song.
Probably emphasizing on his self confidence
@@Z0RD. As we see all through out Gorillaz lore, music videos, etc, we see that Murdoc has always overpowered 2d, belittling him to the point of no longer feeling happy or confident of himself.
Humongous Preposterous pickle roast beef sandwiches with propane sauce.
@@Z0RD. It could be the art style choice for this album, showing him at his lowest point being at his lowest height (rim shot, please.) It was probably significant toward how Jamie Hewlett felt 2d would feel, and with his cartoonish art style conveyed that emotion in physical form. But thats just my theory
Blue mask I hope you don’t think humongous and preposterous are big words dude, that’s like a middle schoolers vocabulary.
Tesco using this song in their adverts mid November '24
For some reason this feeling of peace and sadness.
I cannot explain it.
But every time I feel hopeless or stressed or anxious, this song helps me. It has a huge impact on me.
On Melancholy Hill will remain the best Gorillaz song for me ever in my heart.
Luna H. That is, and I’m no joking in the slightest, the definition of “melancholy”, peace and sadness.
@@paranoiac4082 Well, isn't that ironic lol.
I get the same feeling
Does anyone else physically FEEL melancholy listening to this? I listened to this song a lot around may right before I moved and working on a play with all my friends and now I’m listening to it and seeing how much has changed, how much I lost and what I gained is weirdly saddening but kinda nurturing as well. Gorillaz put feeling into every cord and beat in this song and it’s just so good
It's Damon's voice, it's really dreamy. It makes you melt into a buttery nostalgic state.
This album came out the same year I graduated high school and went to college. This song feels like leaving old things behind and starting a new chapter
I actually feel hopeful and happy listening to it. The song is saying "our lives are messed up and full of despair, but if we pull through and climb this hill, we can make it ok. We may even find something new to entertain ourselves with". It's still definitely a sad song, but there's an underlying happy message in there.

Dig on that - he looks kinda contented or something. Like he's just carrying on, y'know? Doing his best and truly, honestly okay with that much. Kinda rings true with the rest of the song to me
He kinda looks like the guy at the end of the Thalasin video

He looks like Lil dicky

This is my ringtone. Had been for a couple years now. This is my go to seeing, my refuge. The song i need to hear when it's really stressful. And it's the sound. Not the words
This song is timeless, can't believe it's over a decade now. And to see new comments gives me absolute joy.
4:04 I love the expression on 2D's face he's like Wtf just happen?
Question why is there a giant walrus or some animal on the island
+Alex Pellicciari noo its a manatee
+Alex Pellicciari dumbass 😂 it clearly says up on melancholy hill, sits the manatee
+Paul Evans oh
+Paul Evans what time of the video
Noodle: secret Japanese experiment to make the ultimate fighting machine. Russel: Witnessed all his friends die in a shooting and was possessed by the ghost of his best friend. Murdock: Sold his own and his band mates souls to become a popular band. 2-D: Just has fully black eyes
Pretty much, lol
Nope
I mean, he _did_ get them from Murdoc being an asshole.
2D lost his eyes
He has 8ball fractures in his eyes. He's legally blind because of them. The reason his eyes are black is because so much blood filled them when he got the 8ball fractures.
