@@junedanieltamor9071 he also said that the death grips hacker was song of the decade listen to it and the band he had at 2 fleet foxes and tell me he was right it should've been fleet foxes 1, gorillaz 2, death grips shouldn't have been near the top 5
@@jessepike3565 whats wrong with having death grips at the top? I personally agree that hacker is one of the greatest songs of last decade, but honestly most of the top songs could be swapped around and it would still be a good list.
The live concert in Atlanta tonight was my first concert. And the entire time before the concert i was hoping they would play my favorite song. Though I thought it wasn't going to happen due to Lou Reed dying soon after the Plastic Beach concert. But when out of nowhere they started blasting this song I couldn't help but cry. Rest In Peace Lou Reed, and Long Live Damon Albarn
Originally this and pirate jet were my favorites. I used to play them on reaper constantly. Although I didn't know who Lou reed was at the time until I watched American pop.
The fact they got Lou Reed still gets me Lou Reed, the dude who knew and worked with Iggy Pop and David Bowie, as well as Metallica It's like a web, a web of interconnection.

I literally made a playlist to keep this song on repeat. Its one of those songs i can really listen to on repeat for hours and it never gets old. Pure musical art
I remember listening to this in in the early morning hours of spring on the bus ride to school. depressed out of my mind, but music was what was keeping me going. thank you Gorillaz
I'm seeing a lot of "this song is so underrated" but there's something funny, almost every song of Gorrilaz are a piece of art from my view, there's a lot of hidden gems from Gorrilaz, just go and listen to every album, every single, every song that you can and you will notice that the majority it's too good
The thing that most touches me in this music is the scream of the little girl. It's the scream of a little girl having so much fun in the playground of her school that she can't help but let it out. This is beauty, and the most accurate and powerful reminder of chikdhood I ever experienced.
Lou Reed had to be the coolest son of a bitch to ever walk the earth. He had techniques dripping out of his buttcheeks. He slept on his stomach so he didn't fuck up his sheets...(sorry big:)
This is the absolute best Gorillaz song they ever created. Not even going to lie, it got me through a lot of rough times. The audio is perfect, the backing vocals make the whole song. Lou Reed is a legend, and his leading vocals make the song one of the most unique audio experiences. The instrumental, man... it envokes an emotion I cannot even describe. 10/10, absolute god-tier content.
Jedogames124 GD it isn't that good, its more of a mixtape full of Black rappers, I only like saturn barz, Andromeda, busted and blue and the apprentice
I used to skip this song along with glitter freeze and white flag but when I listened to this and the other two songs I will never skip a gorillaz song again
Oh god. I heard this first when I was at one of the lowest points of my life. Every time I hear it that empty and alone feeling comes rushing back to me. That's how you know it's real music. It speaks to the soul.
if you dislike the new stuff released so far you get told "u prolly listen to feel good and thats all lol Gorillaz has no set style" but this whole album has so much more feeling to it. I really hope I end up liking the new album as much as this one
@@drdiabetes7469 Well that's just your opinion which you are entitled to. I have my opinions which I am entitled to as well. Personally, I loved Humanz.

I’ve always listened to Lou’s lyrics (which reads much more like “dialogue”, which has always endeared me to this song) as though he’s an Android, given the skipping that takes place on “until we grow old”. An Android singing changes the vibe of the song, definitely more melancholic.
Man, this is the biggest nostalgia track. All I can think of is getting blazed with my homies in our teens and listening to the entire album, and this song being my favorite. Saving up cash to toss a couple 12" subs in the trunk and blasting this on repeat.
Lou Reed, the singer of the famous proto-post punk band "The Velvet Underground" which change the face of music by its time (The early 70's) who works with Gorillaz, a worldwide excellent band known for their unique style of music resulting from a mix of different genres. God it's so awesome !!
What if they left the word hard to tell to symbolize that sometimes we feel like stars and sometimes we feel like dust. Because I can relate with feeling both.
The very essence of the complete image of Gorillaz is summarized perfectly with this single track. Will always be my personal favorite. Lou Reed is a legend and made this track exactly what it needed to be. Thank you, and RIP Lou Reed.
Love the fact Damon went all the way to New York with Jamie, Jamie was left outside and Lou went on a taxi ride on his own to write the lyrics xD. The music industry is crazy!

So, Lou Reed and Gorillaz created this song and no one says fucking nothing about it ??? How can be this song so underrated
Right? How in the fuck does this song not have more views? I'm appalled and astonished at the same time!
Originally this and pirate jet were my favorites. I used to play them on reaper constantly. Although I didn't know who Lou reed was at the time until I watched American pop.
no one says nothing about this song? So everyone talks about it...
this is pretty much one of the best songs on Plastic Beach... and yet no one says a thing still
it’s my favorite song by them
this might be the best gorrilaz song

This song can either make you really happy or really sad and it just depends on what mood you're in.
Yes!
Tienes razón, me trae recuerdos triste y felices a la vez xd

finally he did something right
yeah im thinkin based...

This is some kind of great music
Very glad to see this getting more recognition lately, this song is seriously something special
You could say that it's some kind of nature.
RIP Lou Reed. One of my all time favourite Gorillaz tracks.

absolutely. I can't pick a favorite. they're all gems
You're right
Ok but even White Light 😭
All music is art
@@anonymousfox777Hot take: White Light is better than Stylo (I don't really like Stylo because I think it's kinda overwhelming)
my favorite song found during the COVID pandemic
in quarantine... was so addicted to this
i love the deepness in the meaning of this song...this is the beauty of Gorillaz
The thing that most touches me in this music is the scream of the little girl. It's the scream of a little girl having so much fun in the playground of her school that she can't help but let it out. This is beauty, and the most accurate and powerful reminder of chikdhood I ever experienced.
k
Gollum du 8z or yenno, it's just a scream.
Or even an electric sound. Could be either.
Oh my fucking god I always thought that was a drill xD
Or the little girl could be being killed by PennyWise. We'll never know.
It sounds like a hot dog that you leave in the microwave for too long
When 2D sings "all we are, is stars" I get many goosebumps holy fuck
He actually says *dust...but it still hits different 😞
Best Gorillaz song I swear to god
Fax
This song is actually really nice~
It makes my stomach go weird but in a sad and nice way...
Man, I never tire of the groove when the lyrics finally synch at 2:09!
The was Lou says "and protect the girls" just hits my soul. Vastly underrated track.
Some kind of Nature,
Some kind of Soul,
Some kind of Mixture,
Some kind of Gold.

it's so beautiful right now I am crying
Gorillaz+Lou Reed= possibly the best masterpiece of the 10s
If you replace Gorillaz with Metallica though…. Yeah let’s forget about that awful album
I genuinely expected to hate this song, but this is absolutely one of the best Gorillaz songs
according to watchmojo, this isn't worthy of being in a top 10 list of gorillaz songs, therefore i have zero faith left in humanity
allweareisstars Screw Watchmojo in the ass. All Gorillaz songs are some kind of gold! [See what I did there ;)]
JOverwatch ! i actually laughed
Watchmojo is shit.
Look at Gorillaz "We Got The Power" and "Humility". Bam, faith restored.
what even is watchmojo? it feels like it's written by an algorithm

So underrated for a good song
This quickly became my favorite on this album
This is addicting!!!!!
this is one of their best songs tbh
i kinda agree but its like some of their songs are whole different genres lol
this is the song i need playing in my car when i speed on a long and windy road
I’ve always listened to Lou’s lyrics (which reads much more like “dialogue”, which has always endeared me to this song) as though he’s an Android, given the skipping that takes place on “until we grow old”. An Android singing changes the vibe of the song, definitely more melancholic.

Man, this is the biggest nostalgia track. All I can think of is getting blazed with my homies in our teens and listening to the entire album, and this song being my favorite. Saving up cash to toss a couple 12" subs in the trunk and blasting this on repeat.
How in the world is this song not way mor famous?!
One of my favourite Gorillaz tracks still until this day. I remember when I bought the album this is the one I listened the most. :)
Lou Reed and Damon Albarn together, some of the greatest songwriters of their own generations
Does anyone else hear the scream?
yeah :,v
YES
When? I heard a scritichy-scratchy sound that I guess is kind of like a scream but not quite?
it's probably the child you ran over
Yes I ran over that child.
Plastic beach all the way💕
Thank you, Melon
This song is definitely in my top 5 and is one of Gorillaz best songs in my opinion and is personally underrated
It took a while for this song to grow on me, but oh boy has it
Lou Reed, the singer of the famous proto-post punk band "The Velvet Underground" which change the face of music by its time (The early 70's) who works with Gorillaz, a worldwide excellent band known for their unique style of music resulting from a mix of different genres.

Plastic Beach is the best gorillaz album and this song among others helps prove it
i'm in love with this amazing song, is so relaxing...
Love the perfect mix of low-key, carefree lyrics and tunes with parts that just reek of emotion.
I just got my friend to like Gorillaz!
IM PROUD OF MYSELF
She knows all the words to this song :D
Good job bro

It's interesting & excited that these iconic virtual figures did this with an artist who founded one of the most important bands of all time.
my second favorite song of this album, this song is just so perfect, i wish this has more views
I love this song sm. Pure love. Just real pure love.
Saw them last night in Duluth, GA, and they played this live for the first time since 2010.
Remember kids. All you are is stars.

Very humble! Gorillaz giving opportunity for young artists to appear 👏👏
This song is some kinda masterpiece
I love Lou reeds and 2d voices in this
I remember playing Fallout: New Vegas listening to this song
Good shit man
Only 15 seconds in and I already love thi- HOLY SHIT IT GETS BETTER
This is probably my favorite Gorillaz song, maybe my favorite song in general. THIS IS SO UNDERRATED OH MY GOD
