I love how gorillaz songs just have so fitting names. For example 5/4 is just... well a song that has a 5/4 melody over a 4/4 beat. And this is called Double bass, and well it just happens to feature 2 bass players.. :D
This song doesn't feature two bass players but rather an instrument called a double bass which is, well, two basses put together or something like that.
Imagine a movie scene or video game... rainy night, the MC walking in a street full with those typical signals with some flashie lights, and this playing in the backgroud.
When i was a kid i used to replay the "All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so". i had no idea what it meant since english isn't my first language but i loved it so much. i still do but now i .. kinda understand it? it speaks to me anyway
So, I don't really know any of the backstory behind this song, but I like to it as a metaphor. Like Murdoc's over-bearing presence in the band, and his need for control. I find it funny how throughout the whole song the drums and guitar stay pretty consistent, while whenever the piano (the instrument 2D loves) starts to get funky, the bass gets super loud. Almost like Murdoc is trying to keep 2D under his thumb. The lyrics kinda fit with this too, how it says "All of which makes me anxious, at times unbearably so." which I think kinda fits, since Murdoc was a huge source of anxiety for 2D in the early days! But that's just my head-canon! love the song so much!! :D
" *...all of which make me anxious. Unbearably so, at times.* " Sounds like throughout the song he was just explaining his worries to the band, kinda like a wholesome therapy jam session!
this feels like childhood. idk why. it's like some sort of weird part of an old nicktoon where a character is just doing something and and music is playing over it. very relaxing.
Dying to know how this track was conceived and executed...if only we had some footage of that process. This track is a bit unsettling, yet soo chill and detached and gritty, and all these little details make it even better. It's like entering someone's mind, heck I would love to travel inside Damon's mind...just brilliant.
Tell me your head is completely empty and devoid of creativity without telling me your head is completely empty and devoid of creativity. This may shock you, but musicians - good musicians, anyway - don't just mindlessly crap out songs like fucking robots. They generally have a creative process and it's pretty natural for someone to be curious about that process.

@@16BitOG I mean it's better not overthink stuff, especially when it comes to art...but sometimes you feel so engaged by a piece of music that you can't help but wonder how they came up with it. Don't know if it makes more sense now 😅
It feels so good when you draw and listen to this can't for someone to come here in 10 years and listen to this and then see my comment I feel like gorillaz will be these eternal stars that are always no matter the years

Fun fact: this song was recorded from 2D’s brain with a tiny microphone russel got from Tandy (an electrical store). As it was on the side of 2D’s head, recording, Murdoc told 2D to : “Imagine 1950s-based rockabilly Brian Setzer from The Stray Cats knocking back a load of cough syrup, then going to a fairground with a couple of mates. Halfway through, Brian’s going to start feeling a bit sick because he’s now drunk some Jäegermeister, and the gooey brown liquid’s making him see things that weren’t there. He’s trapped in a mad world of fairgrounds, visuals, and bubbles.” Along with that, 2D imagined the sounds from the Atari game, Pong. This was taken from the book called “The Rise Of The Ogre” and is on the “Double Bass” chapter.
Is it weird that I could feel that Mad World and Fairground in the song? Like as completely ridiculous that description is it's oddly the exact feeling I get
Ace wasn’t anywhere near the band at that point. If you told Murdoc that this “Ace” guy came up to take his spot, he’s probably be flustered in anger that somebody could take over his CoRe SPot In tHe baNd. However, in modern times, I can completely imagine this, and tbh it’s really gay (in a good way) and I’m here for that gay ish.
@@APerson-ei4tx in the book rise of the ogre says something about a microphone that if you put it against someone's head it transforms what you're thinking or imagining into music
Instrumental songs from each gorillaz album: Gorillaz: _Double bass_ Demon days: _White light_ Plastic beach: _Glitter freeze_ The fall: _Phoner to arizona, Aspen forest, The snake in dallas_ Humanz Super deluxe: _Colombians, Transformerz_ The now now: _Lake Zurich_ Song machine: _Taxi back to 80 revjikav_
Well according to Rise of the Ogre, this song was sampled from 2D's thoughts broadcast through some kind of thought-amplifying microphone. So you're not too far off, mate.
Gonna see Gorillaz tomorrow night and nothing else matters -- life is good even if it's shitty, Gorillaz rules and I'm grateful to be alive at the same time as their existence,
I just imagine some dude waiting in an incredibly slow elevator while this music plays from a tiny speaker. He's late for something or other. He's spiraling into a pit of despair. Cue montage of him thinking about the inevitability of it all. "All of which makes me anxious...at times unbearably so..." Music continues.
this music is something i would hear in my dreams as background melody. Its oddly close to home and very relaxing as well. That's one of my bests songs from Gorillaz for sure.
I love and loved this Album very much! Thank you for making it and thank you for uploading it. This is one of the 5 or so albums I ever really bought ;)

I’ve heard bass in songs. It’s actually a really important part of a song.
Some people I know confuse the bass and regular guitar.
People give me an odd look when I tell them this is my favourite Gorillaz song.. Or just my favourite song in general.. Eh whatever I like it
Me too
My fave above all else
It's really incredible composition.Good bass playing, good turntablism and very strange but atmospheric sound
This is my fave gorillaz song too lol
The melody is really cool! But This is just a little bit repetitive I think.
