    On the cloud of unknowing
    My world seems open
    Every satellite up here is watching
    But I was here from the very start
    Trying to find a way to your heart
    All the days are forgetting
    They've gone out with the tide
    Lost at sea somewhere, waiting
    Like setting suns at the rodeo
    Trying to find someone you'll never know
    Oh, sinking love
    On the cloud of unknowing
    Every satellite up here is waiting
    Waiting to see what the morning brings
    May bring sunshine on its wings

    Gorillaz has a lot of fantastic songs with powerful lyrics and melodies, and for some reason, Cloud of Unknowing always seemed the most emotional to me. Despite it being a relatively simple song.

    Rest in peace to my beloved cat who passed away this morning at 14. I bursted in tears when this song came out in my playlist while he was in emergency room and I’d already prepared for the worst. Makes me think of all the sweet memories with him, and of his journey to pets heaven where his soul can finally rest in peace. There are no words to describe how I’m gonna miss you, Mo.

  • @TheSleepiestPlurals

    This song to me speaks to such a deep loneliness, the kind where you're not sure it'll ever end, you're not sure if you'll ever find someone. To anyone out there who feels this way, you will find love, I know it. Instead of looking for the one you need, look for one that needs you. You must give before you can receive

    "Every set of light up here is watching, waiting to see what the morning brings." Makes me think about how ever single person in your blood line to come before you is in the sky watching you, waiting for you to become what they know you can be. Uncles, Aunts, grandparents, great grandparents, ancestors, they're all cheering you on for you to bring the people of your time a better tomorrow. You can't give up now. Everyone is rooting for you.

      I guess it may as well be. Damon has said that he is a spiritualist, but he does not follow any orthodoxy. The underlying tone and message of the book seems to be about abandoning conventions and accept yourself to a realm of unknowing, where you may find the nature of God. I am personally not religious, but this resonates with me so much for my spiritual journey, whether there is one or not.
