None of this is live action, Jamie Hewlett rotoscoped the whole thing and with the help of 3 people he was able to shade the entire video photo realistically
I imagined ONE animator furiously trying to keep up with the label demands like being held hostage while this pretty tune played and found it really funny.
I feel that my best friend loved the Gorillaz Sadly he passed away at 20 from an unknown cause this year in late January. Every time this comes up in my playlist while I’m driving It hits hard Update: he passed away from vaping, he used Juul a lot to relieve stress. That vape clogged one of his lungs and there was liquid inside. Caused a pulmonary aneurysm
ღ 【 •Čłåřįţý Řøşė• 】 ღ it’s been 3 months and it’s been hard all I do is stay home I got no gym and no school to go to so gives you way too much time to think. All I think about is all the stuff we we’re gonna do
this was my late best friends favorite song, she loved gorillaz so much now everytime i listen to this song it reminds me of her... RIP you will be missed
My late dad loved Gorillaz, his funeral is in 4 days, we will be welcoming everyone in to say their goodbyes with this song. I hope you are proud of my choice, Dad. I love and miss you ❤️
"Hoo, boy, I sure do love internet! It's as good as music in my book! I can't keep myself away! Have you ever been on the internet? What am I saying, of course you haven't. It's dozens of 'web sites' generated entirely by computers! There's a Facesite and a Twister so you can really get digital with your chatting!"
Lost a fellow brother in arms to drugs during our time in the army. It was painful when we found out he passed during the Holidays. We couldnt visit him because of Covid restrictions. :( This song will always remind me of the good times we had together as friends regardless during deployments/trainings or just lazying around in the barracks. :( RIP Leon. Rest easy buddy.
For me it was orange juice & Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb” , which might be why Melancholy Hill is my favorite Gorillaz. I got to see the 2nd Demon Daze festival in LA area ten days before this street performance was filmed. A fan for twenty years, it was my first time to catch Gorrillaz live, it was outside in a feild under a night sky, incredible really. I left with a new perspective that Gorillaz is very Pink Floyd, they closed with the Sun song and it was epic like Pink Floyd in Pompeii. Damon & friends makes us feel even if it’s just a melancholy feeling
@@KritShrestha The singer and songwriter are the same person, just so you know. Damon Albarn. There is one other official member: Jamie Hewlett, the artist that draws Gorillaz. He's not a musician in the band. They also have an official drummer now too, I think. I have no idea if it's the guy in the video.
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
It's very rare for a live version of a song to be better than the original. this is one of those rare times. Especially when the original is really really good.
I never wanted to think they weren’t just cartoons tapping into our reality. Took me 20 years and a RUclips algorithm, but I finally see the face behind 2-D , in 3D. Always appreciated his vocals as they’ve resonated throughout the years with my soul.
I seen Gorillaz twice and every time I heard this song I love it. They chorus changed the song and made it better than it is. My favorite Gorillaz song of all time. If Gorillaz comes to your town, you have to see them. ❤️🦍
jesus fucking christ this was one of my favorite songs when I was younger, I am so happy I found this I got chills on my arms and back I'm so grateful for the afternoon or night or whatever when he wrote this, I can only imagine how it was like
Idk if I commented on this before but I watch this so often its so calm. I think about my dad when I hear this song, he would have loved every single little thing about this performance.
my little sister passed away several months ago. she was the biggest die hard Gorillaz fan, and this song was one of the first songs she learned on piano. we played it at her funeral along with the rest of her favorite music. miss you Hailey, thinking of you always
So sorry, I lost my sister to cancer and she made her own celebration of life playlist. The songs on her list used to make my cry, but now they bring comfort. Condolences.
@@snowasian we'll always have them in our hearts and minds! that's beautiful that you have that playlist to remember her favorite hits. Condolences to you as well, my friend
Reach out to your friends and family! They are there for you! Don't go through this alone. You need company and to be reminded that we are social creatures, we need each other to survive in this endless madness!
I lost my best mate to Suicide 5 years ago on the 16th of suggest this song was played as his coffin left the church. Il never forget how this song has left it’s mark of my soul, sad but beautiful. Still miss you to this day Liam x
Thank you, it is really a beautiful song, and this performance was great. Made me feel a lot of different feelings. Love the fact that there's people out there being their selves and share their stuff to all us.
The animator had a day off
ThisLadWayne this comment is too good
my first time seeing how they actually look

five year later and its still a banger. one of my favorite bands playing one of my favorite songs!!

Hence the name melancholy
"You can't get what you want but you can get me"
This line says so much without saying much. Sheer brilliance.
Self deprecating, white people love that ish
Albarn is one hell of a musician and artist. His contribution to the arts is second to none. Full respect.
Ok Ok Ok - I just have to say: How could you not fall in love with a guy who sings like that?"
These holograms are getting really realistic
Haha

That dude on bass looks like he's having the best day ever.
Seye! Met him a few times, nice fella
The weather's lovely.
He's lovin' it !! His face at @2mins 19 makes my day everytime I watch it
For some reason bass players are always unbelievably happy when playing
@@jortmanshanden6722 bass player here, can confirm. Especially when we can actually hear ourselves
Ill never be as cool as the guy wearing an “ internet” shirt playing an orange wurly.
It’s a band. The internet
@@Noizedas It's also a service.
Strictly speaking, judging by your picture, you are correct.
It's also real life.
@@simonyricools it looks to be their band merch shirt so ya the band
Damn, what a cover from the singer of Blur
🤣🤣🤣
Nah I think this is the singer of tgtbtq
bro they are the same people! how could you be so stupid
@@ip5799 pretty sure it was sarcasm!
Yannick Wolfe i was playing on the joke lol, probs wasn’t v funny
The guy with the INTERNET shirt cants stop texting in each rest. He damn loves internet.
Love his electric piano though 👌🏻

It’s the band the internet. They’re huge
He also seemed to take a picture at 1:45. Didn't seem to be a selfie, though, so I'll give it a pass.
Wow they really do a good Gorillaz cover, that singer even has a voice like 2d's.
That's the thing, this guy's more than just a cover artist...
He was the band's librarian so he got to know them really well.
@@ShenDoodles I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed this reply.
Ikr! I cant believe I havent met the real gorillaz like 2d or murdoc
Bruh he actually is 2d, yall dunno the Story of the Band?
@@dmanwalking_ come on man you're smarter than that!
So chill such a personal performance so little people so close niiiice
- POP - *noice*
It was a radio contest. This was such a good show. So many good memories of that day.
@@Evol_lov3 were you there?
Definitely one of their greatest songs. The composition is amazing.
wow featuring Steve Carrell on keys and Jay Baruchel on electric guitar , cool
I was thinking the same,
That’s Jeff wootton
One of the most talented, creative, innovative and artistic writers and musicians alive today!!!!!!
Only heard this song for the first time this year and now one of my favorites of all time
Fuckin banger init
please listen to Plastic Beach, the entire album is great start to finish.
I know how you feel i heard gorillaz before but this song got me hooked to them
Hard to believe he is 52 years old. Doesn't look like it
Whaaaat? Is this legit? I didn't know his age
The man ages like fine wine
Damn he looks 32!
@James Tiltson yep
Justo estaba pensando lo mismo...No pasan los años en él

Damon Albarn fantastic singer songwriter. Gotta respect the guy.
@@josebarona6341 but did he do heroin? excatly, its not about how far you can go, but how long it took you to get there
@@josebarona6341, uh ok don't have to compare people anyway
@@josebarona6341 edgy
Jose Barona so far from a fact
Jose Barona you’re lame irl I can tell
So they're not cartoons... Everyday you learn something new
They're not gorrilaz members. Just the singer and somgwriter are original members i think. Other members always change
Main dude was also in Blur.
Are they still primates?
@@cheirodelysoform Depends on your religion.

Man this is what I needed in my life, no animation, no filter, just simple songs and soft smiles. Love it and will definitely be coming back.
The bassist is genuinely the happiest person I've ever seen
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
I've listened to this song since the first day it came out, hundreds of times. I think this is the best version yet.
I keep coming back to this, Damon Alburn is a genius.
Ingles este tipo❤❤❤❤❤❤
The best performance of this song in my opinion.
It's definitely note-worthy 🙌
Yes!!! Best backing vocals of any version I've heard!!
Masterpiece, the 3 vocalist in the back are amazing too
"You are my medicine when you're close to me. Best love line ever.
Yesa!!!!
Been hooked on this voice since I heard Song #2
This just gets better every time I hear it
Still listening Karl. A master of music and lyrics. Much missed. A pure soul with magical sight of life. 🙏.
I can’t stop listening to this amazing song
When I'm stressed, I RUclips this video. God bless.
Dudes vocal tone just sends chills up me spine like crazy everytime
Me transportas ta amo damon❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
I can't really adequately describe into words how this song makes me feel.
One of the best albums of all time
One of my fav Gorillaz songs and I love this. It is such an intimate stage, everyone is happy and smiling, what a great feeling it gives you
I've always loved the sound of my Taylor GS mini. Cool to see one played professionally
Even the security guy in the background was dancing. Such a good song.
I knew them on 2010, and still be their fan till now
This still gives me goosebumps, love this version and the sound from it
So thankful for the plastic beach album. ❤️
I love his voice and how he sings
This is one of my all time favourite songs. It is so beautiful.
Best version ever guys love this Damon's voice amazing ...the beat in this uplifting 😏💕
The backing vocals are beautiful as well.
@jacslthbfaaiabsd100p it is ...
The most wholesome performance ive seen
Such a uniquely beautiful song
This guy has got super skills...skillzz! He's a genius... one day the world will recognise

That's so me man...oh yeah I'm at work I forgot!!!

Best version of this song, pure
OMG this version is so BEAUTIFUL!!!
this is so calming
It's very rare for a live version of a song to be better than the original. this is one of those rare times. Especially when the original is really really good.
Not that rare
Not true for the Grateful Dead. A lot of songs are better live.
@@Ron_Don_Valante Yah, good look catching them live in 2023, though....
@@jol0973 Bullshit. Especially when people trying to record the show on cameras get in the way.

Incredible mix - everything is loud and clear!

This is the power of rock music. This guy is not a superior vocalist or instrumentalist but the music he creates it's a stroke of genius.

casi 10 años desde que escuche Gorillaz
as notado que cada vez que escuchas esta canción jamás te aburre.... como q tiene sentimiento puro
Damon is mesmerizing ❤
por que esto no es super conocido, este performance fue perfecto
Alien
What xx
Qué más conocido quieres que sea?
No hay espacio para eso en este mundo
Espero que sepas que es de la banda gorillaz
must be to experience this for live
That kind of singers that don't need any adjustments at the studio, I saw gorillaz live in Budapest and I was amazed by their direct.
