To be honest, what makes Gorillaz shine is Damon.. So whether it's his own songs or with the band it doesn't matter much to me. It's the voice that does it for me
+Mark Minnema The Gorillaz isnt just Damon or Jamie. anyone who has ever and will ever work with them on an album are. That is the Gorillaz, dozens of different artists from different genres, and different places coming together to make music.
Drunk Jotaro Kujo You missed the point, it is a 100% fact that the only official members are Jamie and Damon. Every musician has collaborators but that doesn't mean they represent the band. Damon is modest when he includes the featured artists as "members"...like give me a break. Have you never seen Gorillaz interviews? Have you not seen Bananaz? Those two developed the concept of the band while rooming together. They are also the only two consistent members throughout the years. Anybody who knows the slightest thing about the Gorillaz knows that those two are the entire foundation of the band, from its beginning to now. Jamie develops artistic concepts and Damon writes nearly all the songs. Having someone sing or rap over music you made makes them a featured artist, not a member of the band. Don't mistake those two.
Mark Minnema and you are missing the entire point. Damon might be the face of the group and jamie the art. but everyone who has collaborated with them are part of the gorillaz. its a huge mash of various artists and thats what makes Gorillaz, the Gorillaz. you also are forgetting that it wasnt just Jamie or Damon who thought of it but Del also helped not only write but help with some story elements way back with the first album and Del's own 3030 came out those two albums being pretty much entwined with eachother
Damon held my hand during this song at his gig last year. I can't listen to this without thinking in that moment aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaag :'((((
figocooldude that’s so amazing I always make sure to wear a certain perfume and listen to a song when I travel, that way I can remember my trip when I associate with these things
Tbh I love Gorillaz and all, but the amount of people commenting about 2D really disappoints me... can't Damon be his own person and make his own music? 2D is only a small part of him, it shouldn't define him. This isn't 2D's voice, it's Damon. I thhink there should be a point where you should know how to separate reality from fiction, and this album is reality and has NO association with Gorillaz or any of the fictional characters. It's just Damon himself.
Thats what artists have to live with, creating a famous character thats not actually how they are as a person. People, not only music artists, have to deal with stuff like that
Whole different set of fans , and I think obviously intentionally so. Very smart and original.The multi - dimensional talent is what makes him so superior. And he's still doing it...
this song is the reason I feel the way I do about many things in my life and the reason I surpass sadness. Damon's music is truly one of a kind. the way his music makes me feel is absolutely sensational, because not a lot of artists have that spark with me anymore. Damon has a wild side with Blur, a completely different personality with Gorillaz (like it isn't even him) and with his solo music it's just so relaxing and emotional. I love the way he experiments with music so much, and it's always successful and unlike nothing his fans have heard before. he truly is underrated and not a lot of people recognize him where I'm from (maybe 'the woo-hoo song' or Feel Good Inc, Clint Eastwood or DARE if I'm lucky. maybe Girls & Boys) but one thing is for sure, and that is that he's a fantastic artist with so much in plan, and he deserves every last bit of his fame. Damon, if you ever read this, and I doubt you won't: you truly are a fantastic person who knows exactly what he's doing. you are very important to all of us. it's late, so sorry for the long comment. late night deep stuff with Keira lmao
Keira Jade I said something very similar on this video 2 years ago, and I still mean every word of it. Damon Albarn is one of the greatest artists so we have today, and it burdens my heart that such amazing talent and love for his craft is criminally underrated. although Damon may not be high on a lot of "music charts" or top 100 flavor of the week polls, I hope that he knows that his fan base loves him and truly appreciates his art like no one else can
agreed, he is a musical genius, he should win an oscar or something

Actually if you wanna go farther. It is aphex twin for both. Note: you cannot judge aphex twin by one song let alone a few albums, there is way too much.
Damon you will never see this message, but I have to tell you that you've become 1 of my new favorite artists of all time. I feel so ashamed for just having discovered you recently, but listening to this LP, Gorillaz and Blur I have to say you are 1of the best LIVING artists we have today.
I have always loved Damon Albarn. The tone of his voice, the lyrics and all the layers of sight and sound. A treat for the eyes and ears. Fantastic artist!!
I really like Damon. Down to earth bloke. Would love to drink beer with him and just talk. We could play guitar and sing together in the streets. That would be fun
Es claro porque es superior blur a oasis. La calidad de artista que es damon albarn. Hace una musica tremenda y cada vez mejor. Te amo damon...te vi en argentina cuando vinieron x primera vez. Derroche de talento
I love how gentle and subtle the piano and beats are, just soft enough to allow his soul-filled voice to take lead, but still loud enough to be powerful. Love it.
I actually don't get how many fans ( Blur, Gorillaz, the good the bad & the queen ) don't know that actually Damon have this channel .... That's sad... BCS. Damon is amazing person, ( and singer + musician ) and he always will be, and he always was... ( Edit : look there's just not even 100 k subscribers (( but close, still... not yet)) but we need to think positively so... That's all Best regards -2D
I bought this cd, we travelled across Argentina with my brother and my father, this was our soundtrack. What a beautiful, textured album, and what a time to be alive, I truly feel grateful for this life.
Beautiful. Damon Albarn's ability to commentate socially and emotionally is second to none. This, the soundtrack to my unrest. His ability to reinvent himself is astonishing.
I'm a huge Gorillaz fan, and they're pretty much the first Damon Albarn-ish music I've gotten into. Then I listened to this album. Then I listened to Blur. I'm so glad there's so much work from him. It's like I can never run out of Damon Albarn.
Damon will never get the praise for this solo album that he rightfully deserves. This song puts me in such peace. When I'm lonely, this song I press play.
This is the music of someone who's fallen in and out of love, travelled the world, who's seen many sunsets and sunrises with a joint in one hand and a guitar in the other, who weaves road-weary tales - at once critical of and at once accepting of tomorrow.
When this album came out people said "I'm not feeling it, it's too slow and downbeat". My response was "It's great and you'll be pulling it off the shelf when something happens to you in your life that makes you sad." Lo and behold, today I am upset at people who are useless communicators and cold selfish morons. Here I am listening to Lonely Press Play and there is not a more perfect song for me. Thank you Damon.
When I was 14ish my parents took me back to where i spent a chunk of my childhood in belgium. This is the song I remember looking out of the train from Paris-Brussels-Namur on the countryside like I was a 45 year old herion addict on. Thanks Damon Albarn..
i imagine a young boy (myself) enjoy his childhood, and just like everyone else growing up and getting older and moving away. only to return to his home when he is older and find himself. not only his purpose in life but a meaning for what he should do and the people he should keep close. -zack
algreenhell Where did you hear that? I've never heard of any angst between Thom and Damon. I for one would jizz my pants if they did a song together. Their music styles fit so well together.
qKirbyp Damon says Radiohead are "total hypocrites" because they're a band "who care about certain (humanist) things and then go on one-and-a-half year stadium tours".

This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I can't beileve that he has such an incredible voice. Makes sense that he is the wonderful voice of 2D from Gorrillaz.
I was going to write a long explanation about how great "Lonely Press Play" is, but then I realised I could just say that Damon Albarn is a fucking GENIUS!
Wow, I cry everytime I play this, which is over and over. What a great Album, Cd, Video, love love love U &Me with Brian Eno and that became another song I would listen to over and over... Daman has such a great voice. ☆☆☆☆☆ and Love your music! ♡ julee cruise PS..Thank you Virgil Pink......

+Szilvia Borsos That's not really true now is it.
+Szilvia Borsos Gorillaz consist of Albarn and Jamie Hewlett. Jamie does most of the animation and drawings, and Damon writes the songs.
+Mark Minnema The Gorillaz isnt just Damon or Jamie. anyone who has ever and will ever work with them on an album are. That is the Gorillaz, dozens of different artists from different genres, and different places coming together to make music.

Awwwwwww :'3
awww that's so lovely i Love Damon Albarn and when im lonely I'll press play
No wonder he held your hand - you look like his twin brother. He must have been flabbergasted.
Caleb Jaaniste haha good one😂😂😂😂😂😂
Gorillazgirl45 nice profile pic :)
Gorillaz no gorillaz, or blur I'm happy I have Damon back.
He's always out there producing stuff, he simply can't stop :)
I’m glad I managed to exist in a generation where Damon Albarn is alive and well.
This was my soundtrack when I went to Japan.
figocooldude that’s so amazing I always make sure to wear a certain perfume and listen to a song when I travel, that way I can remember my trip when I associate with these things
I discovered this song while on a trip watching the sunset at my grandma's house with the dog and being lonely.
same, I played this song and the whole everyday robots album whilst I travelled on the shinkansen, it was magical
Tbh I love Gorillaz and all, but the amount of people commenting about 2D really disappoints me... can't Damon be his own person and make his own music? 2D is only a small part of him, it shouldn't define him.

Thank you! This sincerely needed to be said
Mr. Guy which shows he/she appreciates gorillaz and Damon’s music individually
Thats what artists have to live with, creating a famous character thats not actually how they are as a person. People, not only music artists, have to deal with stuff like that
Nah, this is just the guy that sang the whoo-hoo song.

Words can't describe how much I love this song.
sameeeeeeeeee
me too.
This song will continue to be completely timeless. It's still one of my favourites and a hidden great.
How is this song 8yrs old already?! Love from Shanghai
"Accepting that you live with uncertainty, if you're lonely, press play"
Really like that lyric.
Sounds like Damon's been listening to some Atoms For Peace, I love it.
What did you hear that would suggest that to you?
You, I like you. You have wonderful music tastes.
Actually if you wanna go farther. It is aphex twin for both. Note: you cannot judge aphex twin by one song let alone a few albums, there is way too much.
This comments are getting more awesome, now someone mentioned Apex Twin, you people, you like pretty good music.
Big fan of both u and Damon. I'm subbed to you, keep it up

I agree with you 100%--same here. I've just been going through all his discographies. He is visionary...
I love most everything Damon does. You should check out his work with The Good, The Bad, And The Queen
You should both checkout Poets Of The Fall, Smashing Pumpkins, and Steam Powered Giraffe.
+Joshua Thank you for the suggestions :) I will definitely check them out with great anticipation
2D- Punk Bless you, my friend, and enjoy.
178 people are so lonely they pressed the wrong button

Bravo❤
¿Como es que el Gran Arte de este Inigualable artista no es tan reconocida como debería?
Jeffrey Varela porque no es para todos, estos regalo los disfrutan pocos
Jeffrey Varela esto es perfecto!
Porque muchos ven a damon como gorillaz
Si lo es
siempre asi funcionan las cosas....
this is soo comforting idk how to explain it
Dear Damon, thank you for being alive and writing.
i pres play ever second of my life. im a very lonely person.
+scoota-sans let's be friends
+VitorBarriosLuis i want to be friends with you boys too, can i ? :)
Brandon Clouds sure o3o
Brandon Clouds Of course! :)
Good to know I'm not the only one
Mannnnnn.. 9 years ago I loved this song
9 years later I feel this song deep
I have always loved Damon Albarn. The tone of his voice, the lyrics and all the layers of sight and sound. A treat for the eyes and ears. Fantastic artist!!
I really like Damon. Down to earth bloke. Would love to drink beer with him and just talk. We could play guitar and sing together in the streets. That would be fun
kadijaish love this comment, so pure
This comment is too good
Can a child join minus the beer?
Cause that sounds like a hella dank time.
This feels like an abstract self portrait, painted one thoughtful stroke at a time.
Please never, NEVER stop making music. Life would be way much more dull and hard to get through without your lyrics and rhythms. ♥

Music is best for me, bless the man Damon
No todos tienen una voz tan bella y delicada con un toque melancolia como el. Hes one of my top 5 artists!!
When I’m lonely I press play on this song
Works every time!

Absolutely breathtaking, you are an absolute musical genius!

Eres lo más genial y hermoso de este mundo. Mi Damon ♡
From an American on the southside of Chicago..Thank you AFTER HOURS for bringing me here.
Damon is literally my Aesthetic.
Man. Damon Albarn is truly an inspiration. from the blur to the gorillaz to his solo stuff. it is so absolute.
Now I can't hear his voice without thinking of 2-D.
me either
Well, for me it's the other way around.
arturleaorf Same here. But it kinda annoys me because I like having the illusion that 2D is the one singing
Roger S. same for me. It sort of ruins the experience of 2D :(
I can't hear his voice without hearing Damon
Beautiful. Damon Albarn's ability to commentate socially and emotionally is second to none. This, the soundtrack to my unrest. His ability to reinvent himself is astonishing.
damon thank you for creating these amazing masterpieces

Damon, you are one of the few that can actually convoy actual feelings. Not just emotions, real feelin's
That's why I've always love you songs
This is the music of someone who's fallen in and out of love, travelled the world, who's seen many sunsets and sunrises with a joint in one hand and a guitar in the other, who weaves road-weary tales - at once critical of and at once accepting of tomorrow.
How does he make these beats? Seriously. They are always SO good and so experimental
Te amo Damon, gracias por ser inspiración pura para mi Música.
Why is he so good at everthing he do?
Like it....like it a lot, a cool jazzy melancholy vibe to it.
His voice cannot be mistaken! I always know when he sings
He's just perfection
When this album came out people said "I'm not feeling it, it's too slow and downbeat".
My response was "It's great and you'll be pulling it off the shelf when something happens to you in your life that makes you sad." Lo and behold, today I am upset at people who are useless communicators and cold selfish morons. Here I am listening to Lonely Press Play and there is not a more perfect song for me.
Thank you Damon.
The song of my life.. I feel lonely..and press play
his voice gives me peace of mind...
This song is like a hug, let Damon's voice embrace you as the melodies takes you to a comfortable and warm place.
Hola Damon!!! Que hermosa canción, gracias!!!.... esta es la señal!!!
When I was 14ish my parents took me back to where i spent a chunk of my childhood in belgium. This is the song I remember looking out of the train from Paris-Brussels-Namur on the countryside like I was a 45 year old herion addict on. Thanks Damon Albarn..
This is sounding like his best work
Such a modern song and topic from a guy, that's been in the business for quiet a while. I love it!
Welcome back Mr. Albarn. We missed You.
Perfect song for quarantine.
I saw you today in Copenhagen… I’ve never listened to you music before… it’s really incredible..: you and your band where amazing… thanks for tonight
DAMON I LOVE YOUU🥺
THANK YOU FOR EXISTING❤❤
Man, Damon really knows how to write some great lyrics.
Damon makes the saddest happy songs ever
i imagine a young boy (myself) enjoy his childhood, and just like everyone else growing up and getting older and moving away. only to return to his home when he is older and find himself. not only his purpose in life but a meaning for what he should do and the people he should keep close. -zack
this song hits me deeply
So much nuance in this song. Listened to it so many times and still finding diamonds in it. God truly is in the details..
Great Song Albarn!
i like so much!..
Thanks to Earth for coinciding in time and space with Damon. And also to be able to enjoy your music in a concert. Its a great gift.
Sorry for yelling...I MOST DEFINITELY LOVE THIS SONG....
Obrigado por existir, Damon. Eu te amo 🙌🏻
This song strikes a chord with me. Not sure why.
One of the best Albums this year.
This song needs to gain back its relevance.
Thank you Damon... the first time I listened you was in the radio since more 15 years ago...
Thank you very much...
damon needs to do a collaboration with thom yorke!!
He don't like Thom
algreenhell Where did you hear that? I've never heard of any angst between Thom and Damon. I for one would jizz my pants if they did a song together. Their music styles fit so well together.
qKirbyp Damon says Radiohead are "total hypocrites" because they're a band "who care about certain (humanist) things and then go on one-and-a-half year stadium tours".
Since then, Thom responds sarcastically when someone asks about Damon. In fact, when someone asked him in a Reddit AMA if he was interested in collaborating with Damon, he simply said: Define 'collaboration'.
discojack I always have been thinking about it
it will be awesome
tom ...and he actually had a collaboration with Noel haha
damon's a cinematographer as well as musical genius..
Damon you are fucking amazing. Love this song.
This is aesthetically pleasing
Damon Albarn and Noel Gallagher - these two are bringing back the real music.
That is really really nice! Thanks for sharing!
Kartikeya Srivastava Big fan of both bands, but everyday robots is a cut above noel's stuff.
***** I agree. Everyday Robots is more fresh.
BLUR > OASIS
Arina Chigareva te la juegas con esa comparacion
This is probably one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I can't beileve that he has such an incredible voice. Makes sense that he is the wonderful voice of 2D from Gorrillaz.
Maravillosa canción, en lo personal me emociono y me identifica bastante, que bueno encontrar esto en plena pandemia
Why is it every time I begin to feel like a half-competent songwriter Damon pops up with a new record.. EVERY TIME! #damnYouAlbarn
Saludos desde Argentina !!!
Such satisfaction, much joy.
You rock brother. Fan for many years. Listening to it during chemo NOW. Love it sir.
this would be my travel song....once the world opens up again.
Damon is my hero
Woah Damon! Why so much talent?
Awesome Damon gran trabajo!
