There are lot of underlooked non-singles. And some of them are really good :) Every Planet We Reach is Dead, Latin Simone, 5/4, O Green World, Ghost Train, Rockit, All Alone, Slow Country are some of them :)
There are quite a few great underrated songs that aren't singles. Including this one. I'd also include Man Research, Sound Check, M1 A1, Bill Murray, New Genius, and so on to the lists that people have composed in this comment section.
this one and rhinestone eyes always used to scare the shit out of me when I was younger. Now there is just something about it that reminds me of listening to it while driving down a dirt road in my truck in the dead of night. It brings me a lot of calmness, and not necessarily happiness, but content.
the audio is very clearly in the left channel: it's just there is some bleed into the right channel. and yes, it is stereo, because stereo is the only way there can be channel separation in the first place.
Has a night sound though. That and the title Starshine. I suppose trippin in the desert at night works. Daytime desert trip to this song also totally fits.
(If you want to hear the song use left earbud) Starshine never gonna find me Starshine, they ain't gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me Stand easy with myself, with myself Jumping up, I'm low, low, low, low Show me down Starshine never gonna find me Starshine, they ain't gonna find me Starshine never gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me
I remember my cousin gave me a bootlegged CD of this album when it first came out in 2001. Had never heard anything remotely close to it. Couldn’t be categorized and knew Gorillaz was going to be special in the yrs. to come
They're really something else, huh. It's as if they exist in between genres in their own little pocket universe. Powerful stuff, and frequently overlooked even by its own fans. Starshine is a prime example. It's a gorgeous song, but so underrated.
i adore this song, it sounds so horribly lonely and hopeless. it kind of gives me an image of a guy trapped under the rubble with rescue helicopters always going past him.
@@nysportsfan2576 oh my god, now everytime i hear this song i think of a lone astronaut in space drifting away as their oxygen runs low, then getting sucked into a black hole
I think about a lonely guy walking down the streets in the suburbs winout a cent to his name. Like a walking dead, with a 1000m stare. Well aware that is no way out of his misery, cursed with existing. Probably with some dark business on his belt. Who knows? Maybe some lenders are looking for him? Or he rated out some drug business and the drug lords are looking for his head. In any way, each breath is a borrowed one. A poor soul, walking down the street in a cold night, under the orange glow of sodium lightposts.
[Hook: 2D] Starshine, never gonna find me Starshine, they ain't gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me Starshine never gonna find me [Bridge: 2D] Stand easy with myself, oh, myself Jumping up, I'm low, low, low, low Show me down [Hook: 2D] Starshine, never gonna find me Starshine, they ain't gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me
First time I heard "Starshine" was very late at night, I was 10 years old (year of the Gorillaz album release) and was playing Metal Gear Solid on Playstation in a dark and very cold winter night. I got so creeped out. This constant "White Noise" and the opacity where no gamma rays or any sort of light can't go through, desolate snowy land, sterile and barren landscape, absorbing and swallowing the slightest spark of joy or phosphorescent pigment. A monochromatic sky and a pernicious blizzard. If you scream, the sound will be annihilated. Anyway, it's a forgotten area where you're all alone. Like an Arctic explorer who'll never get rescued... Second time was because of Jean Reno in a fantastic movie named "Wasabi".
This song brings me a crushing feeling of nostalgia and it just makes me sad Brings me back to a time and a place that was so empty it still hurts me ...but it is a great song nonetheless
It reminds me of my pets Starlight and Starshine They had the same expression on their face, but different color pattern Starlight developed a disabling spinal problem I fought for 1 year trying to save her, there are no specialized vets in my area She developed eating and speaking problems, her voice became coarse One day Starlight disappeared I know what happened to her, but I don't know where she is Starshine is fine
I just wanted to say that ever since i've been a kid and listened to this album when it came out in 2001, this has been my all time favourite song. I still say that Starshine is the best song ever. There's something about it, i can't explain it.
Gorillaz, Demon Days, Plastic Beach, The Now Now, they all have this thing where the best songs are by the end of the album. Starshine is my favorite song from the band as well.
I have a funny idea for a music video. So its midnight and 2-D cant sleep cuz of his depressive thoughts and murdoc tries to get him to sleep by playing this to 2-D like a some sort of lullaby. And 2-D starts to sing to the lullaby. Murdoc gets the idea to make this a new song so he records it. And at the end of the song 2-D finally falls asleep. Yeah its a stupid idea but i like it
around 2004 I've learnt to play guitar and since then I've never stopped playing. In my early years with guitar, I started to play this "starshine" riff but I didn't what song it was or where I've heard it. For years, if I'm next to someone I always played that riff and asked if they knew what song that was. 2 weeks ago I started rewatching one of my childhood movies "Wasabi (2001)" and I heard this song again after all those years. and here I am finally reunited with my long lost favorite guitar riff.
welcome back... interesting story.. so sad no one you played it knew the song. edit: I just read about the movie and I remember watching it a long time ago, late at night in some random tv channel, the guy eating a whola lot of wasabi scene... I never knew what movie it was (never cared about looking for it though). coincidences..!
Used to play this on a rainy day or when there's a beautiful sunset and the streetlights come on one by one. Imagine taking a walk listening to this.💋❤
SUCH A VIBE! I have a vivid memory of my childhood, in the porch of a rented house in the beach on a foggy and raining day, listening this awesome song on my disc player. For Real! What Nostalgia!
Today I lost the my aunt who inspired my relativity and was the person who understood me on a level that only my dad ever did I lost him to covid. They loved this band as much as I do I'm missing them so much.
This song has been in my psyche since I was 10 years old. This was my first most listened to CD. Everytime I play it now it's such a calming and "back to self" experience.
The strongest dose of nostalgia I get with any music is with this song and my memories of covertly obliterating my bedtime as a kid playing vanilla World of Warcraft on my laptop in bed and listening to this song and album. Shreking lvl ~30s on my lvl 60 T1/T2 Tauren druid in Stranglethorn Vale with this song specifically. Good times. "Staaaarfire never gonna gank meeeeee"
This sounds like peaceful hopelessness. Like those moments of numbness after you hit rock bottom, right before the fight mode kicks in again. One of my favorite songs from them.
I love this song, its so whimsical and everytime i listen to it i feel like im just alone and isolated. I just get lost in my thoughts like im in a dream and when it ends i wake up.
This song makes me think of walking through the dessert at night all alone with no to keep you company but the moon as you walk through the dark expanse dessert being the only thing for miles great song
Lyrics: Starshine, never gonna find me Starshine, they ain't gonna find me Starshine, never gonna find me?

People like you should stay away from Gorillaz, the community isn't cancerous besides that russ impersonator on the wiki.
Is it just me or is this song one the the most underlooked non-singles?
There are lot of underlooked non-singles. And some of them are really good :)
Every Planet We Reach is Dead, Latin Simone, 5/4, O Green World, Ghost Train, Rockit, All Alone, Slow Country are some of them :)

What model truck do u have
...scare?
Why did it scare you?
Jamie: Y'know what would be a good idea? Make this song audible only on the left ear/headphone.
Damon: BRILLIANT.
Brilliant!!!
the song its actually stereo just if you put the volume to max you can see its stereo just the most is heard in the left ear
the audio is very clearly in the left channel: it's just there is some bleed into the right channel. and yes, it is stereo, because stereo is the only way there can be channel separation in the first place.
HAHA ONly my left headphone works XD i'm lucky i think
only wearing the right one is trippy
i feel like this is the song you hear while hallucinating in a desert and i love it
One hell of a trip,if I remember
Pamela Adams, he's tripping in the desert that's old school, you must be young.
Has a night sound though. That and the title Starshine. I suppose trippin in the desert at night works. Daytime desert trip to this song also totally fits.
💙
Most likely not.

shout out to those who are suffering because their left ear/headphone/speaker is broken
Which is everyone. Just a bit of terrible panning on Gorillaz' part; still love this song though!
My left headphone is broken and it sounds the same??
No, right is like broken
My right one is broken.
For me It was Always the left one to break first for some arcane reason.
Always within 3 months from when i used them first.
Magik...
i adore this song, it sounds so horribly lonely and hopeless. it kind of gives me an image of a guy trapped under the rubble with rescue helicopters always going past him.
Or being lost in space. How horrific

@@acynder1 depressing... love it!
that's such a perfect description
I'm guessing 2-D had nothing to drink that day of recording.
2-d :can someone get me a cup of tea?
Murdoc: no, now sing the song.
2-d: StAArShiNe
Mind ya business
Or maybe too much 😂
Drier than sahara/kering parah pak
He definitely sounds tired
*That Moment When You Scream "STAAAAAAAAAARSHIIIIIIINE" on the bus.* "Oh shit..."
The guitar has some kind of seductive, hypnotic affect on one's soul after a while. Love how enticing the instruments flow into each other
The art of Noodle
Gorillaz sure knows how to make all of their songs in an album great, self-titled and Demon Days especially. Love it.
[Hook: 2D]
Starshine, never gonna find me
Starshine, they ain't gonna find me

it was amazing to see this song in one of my favorite movies "Wasabi".
I've never heard of that movie before.. when did it came out??
@@FuraPurble2001 with Jean Reno
Incredible movie
THERES NO WAY THIS PLAYS ON WASABI!
Solution to ear bud problem:
1. Get splitters
2. Plug in two pairs of ear buds
3. Listen to both of the left ear buds
Woo
Or turn the audio into mono
I’m calling it, this is the most underrated song-😔🤚
i agree!
this song makes my chest hurt but like in a good way idk how to describe it
Like sadness but you're still happy.
juno you should go see a doctor
Mr. Egg that's the perfect description
bittersweet.
Melancholy
That bassline is hypnotizing

This song brings me a crushing feeling of nostalgia and it just makes me sad
Brings me back to a time and a place that was so empty it still hurts me
...but it is a great song nonetheless
It reminds me of my pets
Starlight and Starshine
They had the same expression on their face, but different color pattern
Starlight developed a disabling spinal problem
I fought for 1 year trying to save her, there are no specialized vets in my area
She developed eating and speaking problems, her voice became coarse
One day Starlight disappeared
I know what happened to her, but I don't know where she is
Starshine is fine
i'm sorry koishi
i was really hoping someone else felt the same way :)
There's just something about this song that makes me calm or just less numb. I'm not sure what though
I just wanted to say that ever since i've been a kid and listened to this album when it came out in 2001, this has been my all time favourite song. I still say that Starshine is the best song ever. There's something about it, i can't explain it.
It sounds like day of the dead opening song I guess
@@vikomx9099 for me it sounds like some alien spaceship hovering on some quiet place but with a tinge of eeriness😮
For me it feels like Nostalgia: The Song
Gorillaz, Demon Days, Plastic Beach, The Now Now, they all have this thing where the best songs are by the end of the album. Starshine is my favorite song from the band as well.
I remember when I was first introduced to the gorillaz by my cousin from Mexicali and he had this album in a cassette tape.
What a poetic way to get introduced to the band. Those must be some treasured memories of yours, huh.
Mexico
I loved the part when he says: *Starshine! Never gonna find me*
fabdlnltc you mean tube majority of the song? lol
oh yeah that part....
I like the part with the electric keyboard sounds.
Same, bro.
I feel like when he says that it is super cracky and I just think of Damon in the sound booth singing a high pitched voice.
take some medicine 2D, jesus christ
peppermint tea
Take some sunshine in a bag.
Take some cool shoeshine
Take THE BATH
This song is cursed, I have listened to it a million times and I do not hate it.
Sad but beautiful.
I have a funny idea for a music video. So its midnight and 2-D cant sleep cuz of his depressive thoughts and murdoc tries to get him to sleep by playing this to 2-D like a some sort of lullaby.

incredibly anxious
How dare they advertise the Emoji Movie before the likes of Gorillaz
Angel Jolie Taylor-Wilson THE EMOJI MOVIE IS A SHAKESPEAREAN CLASSIC HOW FUCKING DARE YOU
Billy Breen wtf
The Emoji movie is the most hated movie on r/dankmemes
@Moon Flame *Sarcastic
I don’t get it lol
I love how 2D has a kind of Janis Joplin-esque voice in this song.
Today I lost the my aunt who inspired my relativity and was the person who understood me on a level that only my dad ever did I lost him to covid. They loved this band as much as I do I'm missing them so much.
That's a nostalgic track from them. I heard in the French movie Wasabi for the first time and honestly bring the mood instantly
the way gorillaz are able to transmit emotions and feelings through music is simply unique
you can like feel the intro in your brain

In the movie wasabi this song is played when the hero seems in a point of no return near the end, before he fights again
Clint Eastwood: Sunshine
Starshine: Starshine
Ear buds: LEFT SIDE
This song is so dark and amazing yesss :)
maybe you just need to turn the light on , dumbass
+Without Method wow..
***** wow was that hard? look it's brighter now is it, look around your room now and I bet you see carcasses of your entire family
+Without Method you really have a lot of time on your hands human 👍
I was given this album when I was 12 or 13..I'm 34 now and this song always comes to my head in my most depressed days and I start singing it.
*"That feeling you can't express"* is called _nostalgia_ 🌌
When Murdoc makes 2D sing when he's sick:
the bass in this is so mesmerizing
I love this song, its so whimsical and everytime i listen to it i feel like im just alone and isolated. I just get lost in my thoughts like im in a dream and when it ends i wake up.
the surround sound is so amazing
Honestly. This era of gorillaz hit different (in a good way)
The Gold Gorillaz
The best Gorillaz
This is one of those songs you must use headphones to get the whole effect
2018 !! nice memories on this tape
Untouchable
When this song randomly gets in your head so you have to listen to it again.
Idc , the raspyness in his voice brings a beautiful yet suffering or lost type of feel in the song💯
never gonna find me
there’s something dark in these woods,
I’ve known it since I was a child.
it never left, it’s merely hiding somewhere,
still watching me.
Playing this at four in the morning in the dark is an experience. Hearing nothing but 2D's voice fill my head.
oh that purple haze is really kickin' in now
2018 and forever!!!
I love this song I think so many of us felt this hopeless feeling but then I remember Wasabi movie 💕‼️Never give up guys!
Yes!! Is that it? Is that where I've heard it? Wasabi
This song reminds me of being sick in bed.
I always find this song stuck in my head.
man i love dis....
I feel like this would be the perfect song for when you’re high on weed
Im stoned right now and can confirm this.
@@violettmichelle2667 Ditto, I'm high up there with the starshine myself.
Oh yes sir
Not just weed
This song sounds like the color blueish-purplish to me. I can't explain it and I'm sorry.
Synesthesia?? Same bro
For me it's more of a yellowy-orange but that's the cool thing about being synesthetic, it's different for everyone
this is so underrated oml
my left ear loved it :)
The base solo in the beginning its just too much I love it 😍
one of the best songs
This is hauntingly beautiful
This songs evokes a feeling of being lost at night in the middle of nowhere.
I always imagined an astronaut cut loose from his spaceship drifting into space with no one coming to save him listening to this song
cool pfp
2 years ago, this song got me into Gorillaz, most happiest day of my life:)
So nostalgic
My left headphone is broken. :|
Fox in a Hat soz but LOL
It's just slightly quieter then
I can here it in both. Just slightly quieter in one.
Oh noooo, it's brokkennnnnn ourr lovveeee
Sqbi I was gonna say that 😂😂😂
- Что это такое?
- Васаби!
- Классная штука!
some people just have their way with words...
i love this song
This song makes me think of walking through the dessert at night all alone with no to keep you company but the moon as you walk through the dark expanse dessert being the only thing for miles great song
to me its a song about the universe and time, absolutely beautiful
looking at the nocturn sky while listening to this is such an experience everyone must have
This song sounds like when you were about to do something but you forget what the thing was. so you’re just stood there thinking
💜incredible'. Always & Forever Thankyou
So damn Good 😥
Used ta sing this during runs at boot camp. Memories
So simple so beautiful
Lyrics:
Starshine, never gonna find me
Starshine, they ain't gonna find me

Show me down
Starshine, never gonna find me
Starshine, they ain't gonna find me
Starshine, never gonna find me?
Starshine, never gonna find me

I think we can all agree, there is a light that turns in when this song plays. We don’t know where it is, or what it is. But ‘it’s there’
