I visited Hong Kong two years ago and I remember listening to this on the bus that goes up Victoria's Peak and just feeling it was the perfect soundtrack for that moment, with the view of the city full of buildings and skyscrapers. It just made me feel so small and lost in that sea of people and neon.

It's crazy how I completely overlooked this album when it first came out. Now, 12 years later, I am really starting to understand it's real meaning. This song is a real masterpiece, I have listened to it 1000 times and it still manages to make tears come out of my eyes!
I genuinely cannot tell anyone how much I love this song. It gives me everything I need to feel safe. I want this song to play in my afterlife, because that's the vibe it gives me. I love this album, literally everything on it is great
it remembers me, my little bike that took me to so many places "little memories" of me riding it and better times, the fun i had and the happiness i had that little bike was stolen from me. its a song that heals me.
@@rahe2141what are you talking about, plastic beach is like their second most critically acclaimed album after demon days, it’s amazing but not underappreciated
I pressed play, I started singing. Slowly I closed my eyes as I kept singing and when everything exploded ( 2:21 ) I just couldn't stop crying. I had no reason, I didn't think of anything, I just sang with my eyes closed. Or... Maybe... remembering my mom... she died of covid. This song is my whole life. Listening in 2021
Listening to this makes me cry every time. It was the song I sung to my cat the day before he died. I just remember singing it to him, with the dull ache in my heart. I didn't know it was his last full day on earth, but I felt it coming. I will always miss him.
I know what it's like. And this was a beautiful act. Animals are also living beings. My parents didn't understand all the time i spent beside my ill kitten, at the last Christmas night.
How is Damon able to first make you relax and forget all your troubles (The polyphonic praire's here) to the point of wanting to take a nap, and afterwards make you sway slightly to the sides with the second part of the song. Just amazing. What an awesome album Plastic Beach is.
And if the whole world is crashing down on you Fall through space out of mind with me Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising Blows all the shadows far away
[2D:] Oh joy's arise The sun has come again to hold you Sailing out the doldrums of the week The polyphonic prayer is here, It's all around you It's all around you out here And if the whole world is crashing down Fall through space out of mind with me Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising Blows all the shadows far away The falling of the whole empire is here to hold you Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps [Little Dragon:] Little memories marching on Your little feet working the machine Will it spin, will it soar?

@@matheustimoteo8384 I heard 'Soul like a wave in plastic fog, closing in on the moon; at who you are.' - But if I read along with OP I can't hear it any other way than what they've written.
There's nothing quite like this right? I love Gorillaz, every song tells it's story, but this... This is just something that no words could ever describe how perfect it is. This song will be the closest thing we will ever get to perfection. From the second that it starts to the last, I just vanish from the world, and all my problems and thoughts become meaningless. I guess what I'm trying to say is that... This is a masterpiece. Forever, my favorite song.
This song made me felt something unexplainable, nostalgia of unexisting time and place. i've heard this, but so far down the memory lane. Not quite close, always outta reach. Pain ? No, its a faint feeling of sadness from a past i never knew i posess. Why, is it just me. How ?
Oh joy's arise The sun has come again to hold you Sailing out the doldrums of the week The polyphonic prairies here, It's all around you It's all around you out here And if the whole world is crashing down on you Fall through space out of mind with me Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising Blows all the shadows far away The falling of the whole empire is here to hold you Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps Little memories marching on Your little feet working the machine Say will it spin, will it soar My little dream working the machine Soon like a wave that pass will fall And closing in on you they're going on Little memories Your little feet working the machine Say will it spin, will it soar My little dream working the machine Soon like a wave that pass will fall And closing in on you they're going on
Casi 11 años de esta canción. Yo no la conocí en su momento, la habre escuchado algunos años despues de su lanzamiento. Pero en todo caso es, y probablemente, siempre será, una de mis canciones favoritas de todos los tiempos.
Hace mucho escuchaba Gorillaz, pero no me consideraba fanático ni le había puesto atención a sus álbumes por completo. Hace como 3 años me dio curiosidad y escuché Plastic Beach de inicio a fin, y verdaderamente me resultó una obra maestra, especialmente esta canción, me da una calma increíble...

A special, special song. This touches my soul on so many levels. A masterpiece that I'm happy to call one of my all time favourites and I cant wait to sing it as a lullaby to my future kids.
when i was about 11 or 12, i was given a non-graded assignment in school to present a song to the class and talk about it for a few minutes. i chose this song. i loved empire ants SO MUCH back then and to this day i still love it so much. all my classmates watching me present looked so confused and uninterested as they didn't know this song and thought i presented something "weird" or "obscure". even my music teacher looked unamused? i do NOT regret it though. everyone else brought in mainstream music of the time (2016/17) whilst i introduced all these kids to a BANGER. i hope they're all listening to gorillaz now. kinda random but thought i'd share this anyway :)
this dude is nuts donut listen to the person so wack what the actual, deez nutz got em, when ... when did i ask. I didnt ask for dis infomatishion tanks.
this song is so : beautiful, amazing, breathtaking, awesome, perfect, great, magical, astonishing, stunning, unbelievable, wonderful, lovely, excellent, exceptional, fantastic, out of this world and- Long story short, it's a masterpiece.
I like to listen to this lying down. it makes me feel both weightless and heavy...like I'm going to float straight up, through the ceiling and like I'm going to fall straight through my mattress and the ground. and I don't have to be high either....beautiful feeling.
***** Oh thank god for that. I was worried in case people thought i sounded crazy or something. Glad to know there is someone else who knows what im talking about!

My little dream, working the machine Soon like a wave, empires will fall Closing in on you, they're going on (Lyrics by Genius)
This song is beautiful, really. But when 2:15 starts I feel weird. It's like the song awoke some kind of agony in my chest, and I feel like I'm about to disapear. It's like someone gave a soundtrack to my depression crisis.
Unbelievable, how far music can take you from this typical world, everyday society, routine and government machine, and give you this feeling, feeling of peace. One of my favourite song from gorilllaz
I initially resisted listening to the entirety of this song for a good 2 years. Was pretty shocked to realize I missed out on 2:15 onwards all that time.
Por alguna razón, empatizo con una persona siempre que escucho esta canción, como que relajados, juntos los dos sentados sin preocupaciones, hasta que llega el minuto 2:12 y siento la sensación de que una de nuestras locuras empieza a invadir nuestros cuerpos, extasiados, ambos caemos y perdemos la cordura, enloquecemos, mientras caemos en declive al final, reconociendo lo que somos, y que un dia desapareceremos; no tengo una explicación exacta de mi sensación, pero me he acercado, todo en profunda paz, amo esta canción
It's weird listening to this, because when it first came out I never used to be into the Gorillaz and I remember listening to it. But now as I'm quite a big fan of them, they feel quite old, but a small part of my childhood.
This song will never stop delivering the most of love and soul that went into developing these characters. It reflects on the whole journey in such a bittersweet way. Even when Gorillaz eventually dies out, Empire Ants will live on forever along with other masterpieces under the band's hood. Truly mindblowing.
This Music video feels like a farewell to Plastik Beach album. Its like they sat together on the end of working, and just compiled every concept and scene and sketch to each song and put it here, its so nostalgic..
Im listening to this album now and its resurfacing songs that I didn't know i knew, all the times my dad put this on in the car and me falling asleep to it when I was younger. It's so perfect.
this just gives me a vibe of waiting for something or just calming. this is one of my favorite Gorillaz songs and for a reason. this song is really calming. it feels like I can sleep to it.
This song on quarantine hits brutally. Today it was raining while I was in a virtual class I started to hear this song... And cried for the first time in a long time...
The first time I ever listened to this song I had just started reading 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and I must have played this song on repeat at least 20 times. So now every time I hear this song I picture a hot and humid summers afternoon, resting upon a chair on a patio in some villa in Macondo, the sun streaming through the trees and fresh fruit piled up high on a kitchen bench and rotting on the streets. Interesting how music can do that, even though this song and the book have little tangible thematic similarities lol.
"Empires will fall" It always hurts to hear. I never thought the "empire " i had would ever disappear, i was too in-the-moment to care. And when it did fall it was slow at first then it left in a chaotic boom. Gone when i needed it the most. I thought it would stay forever, never realizing i was growing older and out of it each day, but even when i saw the signs i convinced myself everything was fine. I thought i was immune to change, but time made me say "I've had enough, thank you" to the only comfort i had, and i want to ask God why. Basically every moment you experience is lost to history. Gone, only a memory, no going back. Remember this while you are at your highs, and maybe lows as well. Nothing is forever. I'm gonna go and reminisce on my own in the corner now.
@Sandro i lost. It wasn't one particular thing but a mix. My mindset, the ppl i knew, the things i was doing all completely changed. Like living was just different. Back then i had a net or an escape for anytime i felt down, but now it's all gone and it feels like hell. Best metaphor i can give would be like strolling through the remains of a long gone civilisation. Going through the metaphorical 'streets' knowing how alive and exciting the place used to be. Like a truly great place that once was. But now it's just ruins and i'm trying to rebuild and reach that level of greatness again but i'm frustrated i'm cos i'm not getting anywhere and a lot of other things are starting to eat at my soul as well now
Oh joy's arise The sun has come again to hold you Sailing out the doldrums of the whole week The polyphonic prairies here, it's all around you It's all around you, out here And if the whole world is crashing down Fall through space out of mind again Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising Blows all the shadows far away The falling alcohol empire, is here to hold you Rolling out and haunted 'til it sleeps Little memories, marching on Your little feet, working the machine Will it spin, will it soar My little dream, working the machine Soon like a wave that pass will fall And closing in on you they're going on Little memories Your little feet, working the machine Will it spin, will it soar My little dream, working the machine Soon like a wave that pass will fall And closing in on you they're going on shotouts from Argentina..
Today I realise this is my favorite song ever. I always love this song with my soul, but I thought that one day it was going to lose it's magic. Today I listened after a long time without listen and it feels the same way as always. I feel it's intensity all over my body, everytime my eyes fills with humble tears, is kind of painful and holy at the same time, and that moment when the first part ends and the second one comes in a crescendo, fuck, I have to stop anything that I am doing to live that moment with all my senses. Thank you, Gorillaz and Little Dragon, for this heavenly therapy.
Took a lonesome late night walk in the middle of my city the other night when suddenly this song played via my headphones. Walking through empty streets in the middle of the night with this song, especially the second part, is a feeling i just can't describe.
Well... No It's not animation is just a bunch of art and filters, but if you really want to know the history this video is telling, i'd say is about the final days of plastic beach, after this they get attack by pirates and phase 4 beggins!
Crescendo Yeah, but when it gets to the second part you will wake up instantly ._. It's like when you fall asleep listening to Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon and then the song Time comes on and you shit yourself and have a heart attack at the same time. Trust me, I know.
Little Dragon is pure auditory sex, glad they have another fan on board. I recommend, underbart, it's my favorite little dragon song & video. Check out" klap klap" too
Today my dog passed away, after being 13 years by my side, and I chose this song to remind me of him, I know that he's playing with my grandfather up there, cheers for that
Going to a Sussex University open day when the sun was shining, listening to this, having spent my entire life in the city. It helped me realise, there was a big beautiful world out there, one which I was only on the verge of discovering
2:15 When this part starts.... I start floating
We all
Everyone who hear that part receive an ascencion
Yes
Yes!
Como el meme xD
This now became one of my favourites from Gorillaz.
how have i not heard it before
Same here...
I can say that too xD
;_;
Big smoke was here
After many many years, people will listen to this song and feel envious for ones who lived in the era of Gorillaz.
word!
am one of those people
so glad i saw them on the plastic beach world tour
k shaw What? I loved Plastic Beach
I'm 11 and obsessed ^-^
0:00 - 2:20 oh this is so calm i really love this soft rythm

Verse 1: 2-D]
Oh, joys arise
The sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the week
The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
It's all around you, out here
[Bridge: 2-D]
And if the whole world is crashing down (on you)
Fall through space out of mind with me
[Verse 2: 2-D]
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Blows all the shadows far away
The falling of the whole empire, is here to hold you
Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps
[Hook: Yukimi Nagano]
Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machines
Say will it spin, will it soar
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave
Empires will fall
And closing in on you
They're going on

Your little feet, working the machines
Say will it spin, will it soar
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave
Empires will fall
Closing in on you

+Iona Surtees well i got you but you just sounded pretentious, not crazy.
99superjesus huh? Well everyone is entitled to an opinion. I didn't mean to sound pretentious.
*Hands down, one of Gorillaz' best songs ever, simply beautiful...*
Depressing and Calming at the same time, my fucking kind of music
ikr you feel me.
depressing wtf
This is depressing
wow didnt know about that
this song is so relaxing
I didnt believe when people say that music made them travel to another world...
Now i see everything.

Why???

listen to this song it's just like dreaming
This sounds like rain.
you are so right
Sounds more like sunset to me
this sounds like sadness to me.
@@aifatsuki for me sounds like happiness, i dont know why
hi ! here a new track from Argentina, some kind of electropop th-cam.com/video/gKk8z1u-IhI/w-d-xo.html
0:38 [Verse 1: 2-D]
Oh, joys are us, the sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the week
The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
It's all around you, out here
1:17 [Bridge: 2-D]
And if the whole world is crashing down (on you)
Fall through space out of mind with me
1:36 [Verse 2: 2-D]
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Blows all the shadows far away
The falling of the whole empire, is here to hold you
Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps
2:45 [Hook: Yukimi Nagano]
Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machine
Say will it spin, will it soar?
My little dream, working the machine
Soon, like a wave, empires will fall
And closing in on you, they're going on
Little memories
Your little feet, working the machine
Say will it spin, will it soar?
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave, empires will fall
Closing in on you, they're going on
(Lyrics by Genius)
2:24 that drop is awsome
if you are wondering about the artist is Jamie Hewll , he truly is a talented dude
*Hewlett
ajaja Hewll on instagram
!Zombeee Yeah but his name is still Jamie Hewlett
This song is beautiful, really. But when 2:15 starts I feel weird. It's like the song awoke some kind of agony in my chest, and I feel like I'm about to disapear. It's like someone gave a soundtrack to my depression crisis.
exactly same feeling at the same time
ok
you good?
@@guhh8792 Not really, no
@@gabrielkrahe You're not alone, man
My mom used to always listen to this, and I didn’t have a clue that it was made by Gorillaz and I’m obsessed with this song now
The way "arise" sounds like "are us" is honestly so pretty
Little dragon's part it's like mermaids singing to you if you're high
100% agreed
Heck, I think so eventhough I'm not high
You know this from experience?
Yeah, I know this from experience
***** Ola
Unbelievable, how far music can take you from this typical world, everyday society, routine and government machine, and give you this feeling, feeling of peace. One of my favourite song from gorilllaz
I tried to sleep with this song, head full of dreams.
I initially resisted listening to the entirety of this song for a good 2 years. Was pretty shocked to realize I missed out on 2:15 onwards all that time.
Feels like that with other gorillaz songs actually, like demon days felt meh for me until I heard the second part which is much more funkier
Why did you resist?
i always do that with songs ahahhaa
yeah, that is the best part

Por alguna razón, empatizo con una persona siempre que escucho esta canción, como que relajados, juntos los dos sentados sin preocupaciones, hasta que llega el minuto 2:12 y siento la sensación de que una de nuestras locuras empieza a invadir nuestros cuerpos, extasiados, ambos caemos y perdemos la cordura, enloquecemos, mientras caemos en declive al final, reconociendo lo que somos, y que un dia desapareceremos; no tengo una explicación exacta de mi sensación, pero me he acercado, todo en profunda paz, amo esta canción
Joder, yo quiero de lo que fuma este tipo
Pancho sans
bro tu mama ya te anexo unna vez, no hagas que lo vuelva a hacer
This song makes me feel like I'm floating through dimensions in space. So glad I got to hear this in my lifetime.
It's weird listening to this, because when it first came out I never used to be into the Gorillaz and I remember listening to it. But now as I'm quite a big fan of them, they feel quite old, but a small part of my childhood.
Man and I thought this song sucked, then I decided to listen to it again AND ITS AMAZING WHAT WAS PAST ME THINKING
IKR??
same with me, idk why
Things change
This song will never stop delivering the most of love and soul that went into developing these characters. It reflects on the whole journey in such a bittersweet way. Even when Gorillaz eventually dies out, Empire Ants will live on forever along with other masterpieces under the band's hood.
Truly mindblowing.
I feel sorry for the people who’s never had heard this in their life.
me too
Amen
i rlly feel sorry for them:(
so true haru pfp
This Music video feels like a farewell to Plastik Beach album. Its like they sat together on the end of working, and just compiled every concept and scene and sketch to each song and put it here, its so nostalgic..
This song will be in my heart forever... I promise
Without doubt, one of the best Plastic Beach songs.
Totally agree
I've overlooked this gem for years. Previously Stylo was my favorite from this album. But Im glad I found this now, such a good song.
Im listening to this album now and its resurfacing songs that I didn't know i knew, all the times my dad put this on in the car and me falling asleep to it when I was younger. It's so perfect.
After 10 years im still listening to this
same dude
Just to think theres someone out there listening to this, trapped in their own bubble, their own spaces and floating in their own ocean.
In a way I am that person.
this just gives me a vibe of waiting for something or just calming. this is one of my favorite Gorillaz songs and for a reason. this song is really calming. it feels like I can sleep to it.
This genuinely is good music.
You're saying that like its some kind of surprise?
Nicholas Chinn Considering the amount of people who consider bad music as good, then, yes, because you don't find music like this every day.
But are you surprised to find that Gorillaz have good music?
Nicholas Chinn Not really. They always had good music.
Kaja g
This is the best Gorillaz song ever.
+its Nacho i feel the same hope the new album has more great little moments like this one
I wish there were way more Gorillaz songs like this , Damons voice works perfectly with this type of melody .
+its Nacho I kinda preffer Some Kind of Nature o3o
+Ol' Dirty Nacho Nah, heard better. You seem familiar to me....have i seen you in a certain discord server?
Probably Brawlhalla or something.
This song on quarantine hits brutally. Today it was raining while I was in a virtual class I started to hear this song... And cried for the first time in a long time...
The first time I ever listened to this song I had just started reading 'One Hundred Years of Solitude' by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and I must have played this song on repeat at least 20 times. So now every time I hear this song I picture a hot and humid summers afternoon, resting upon a chair on a patio in some villa in Macondo, the sun streaming through the trees and fresh fruit piled up high on a kitchen bench and rotting on the streets. Interesting how music can do that, even though this song and the book have little tangible thematic similarities lol.
I need to go back to that book, I couldn't get through it first go
"Empires will fall"
It always hurts to hear. I never thought the "empire " i had would ever disappear, i was too in-the-moment to care. And when it did fall it was slow at first then it left in a chaotic boom. Gone when i needed it the most. I thought it would stay forever, never realizing i was growing older and out of it each day, but even when i saw the signs i convinced myself everything was fine. I thought i was immune to change, but time made me say "I've had enough, thank you" to the only comfort i had, and i want to ask God why.
Basically every moment you experience is lost to history. Gone, only a memory, no going back. Remember this while you are at your highs, and maybe lows as well. Nothing is forever. I'm gonna go and reminisce on my own in the corner now.
@Sandro i lost. It wasn't one particular thing but a mix. My mindset, the ppl i knew, the things i was doing all completely changed. Like living was just different.
Back then i had a net or an escape for anytime i felt down, but now it's all gone and it feels like hell.
Best metaphor i can give would be like strolling through the remains of a long gone civilisation. Going through the metaphorical 'streets' knowing how alive and exciting the place used to be. Like a truly great place that once was. But now it's just ruins and i'm trying to rebuild and reach that level of greatness again but i'm frustrated i'm cos i'm not getting anywhere and a lot of other things are starting to eat at my soul as well now
No matter how old a Gorillaz song is, it's still a masterpiece
This song melt my heart. Is so special, like a melancholic, tender dream.
Las lágrimas que salen cuando te das cuenta que fueron los mejores 4:44 minutos de toda tu insignificante existencia.
Confirmo
es un misil al corazón, la lloras y bailas al mismo tiempo
Lo han sido desde la infancia
Insignificante así te sientes.
Si
Masterpiece .
Para mi la mayoría de canciones de plastich beach son melancolicas
En especial mellancoly hill :v
Asi es
La mayoria de canciones de Gorillaz son melancolicas
"Melancholy beach" se tendria que llamar el album
Plástic** :v
Oh joy's arise
The sun has come again to hold you
Sailing out the doldrums of the whole week
The polyphonic prairies here, it's all around you
It's all around you, out here
And if the whole world is crashing down
Fall through space out of mind again
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Blows all the shadows far away
The falling alcohol empire, is here to hold you
Rolling out and haunted 'til it sleeps
Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it soar
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave that pass will fall
And closing in on you they're going on
Little memories
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it soar
My little dream, working the machine
Soon like a wave that pass will fall
And closing in on you they're going on
shotouts from Argentina..
Yo tambien
Saludos cumpa
Gracias papá, interpreté cualquier cosa del tema por mi cuenta.
Gracias rey 😺
Te mereces el cielo
My favorite Gorrillaz song period
for all future reference ,, I started crying at 0:54 . 3rd time through and i’m still tearing up-
?
3:59 that's the best draw from the video, such a chilling picture
Such an underrated song
Gorrilaz is just so beautiful im so glad im growing up with this legendary band

Today I realise this is my favorite song ever. I always love this song with my soul, but I thought that one day it was going to lose it's magic. Today I listened after a long time without listen and it feels the same way as always. I feel it's intensity all over my body, everytime my eyes fills with humble tears, is kind of painful and holy at the same time, and that moment when the first part ends and the second one comes in a crescendo, fuck, I have to stop anything that I am doing to live that moment with all my senses. Thank you, Gorillaz and Little Dragon, for this heavenly therapy.
I'm so in love with her voice
If you love her voice you should listen to little dragon-fortune, its a beautiful, peaceful song
Took a lonesome late night walk in the middle of my city the other night when suddenly this song played via my headphones.
Walking through empty streets in the middle of the night with this song, especially the second part, is a feeling i just can't describe.
This is legit one of the best songs i've heard in a long time.
when it's rain here,I listen to this masterpiece.
6/5 :)
ya ever listen to this, go to the couch or lie on the bed then
ᵈ ᶦ ˢ ˢ ᵒ ᶜ ᶦ ᵃ ᵗ ᵉ
Yes. Its wack and amazing at the same time
Guess what buddy, I'm doing that right now
And is comfy
Dissociating and zoning out is not the same pls stop using serious terms for not so serious states

It's my second time listening to it, and I feel the need to cry
@Alexander Gotham Forbes amem
Ohhh it gets worse
@bumble bee same
Now this, is the reason why I love the Gorillaz
Edit: I’m quite surprised that this was uploaded to TH-cam 10 years ago
This song is mysterious and has an off world atmosphere, I get lost in the visuals my brain relates to the lyrics. A real hidden gem.
cherylw1958 I can't play it. It comes up "video unavailable". I think it is unavailable in this country. Patty
There is a live version I have commented on - David Letterman - it is almost as good as the studio version..
the beat to this song is arguably the best they've ever done :) ridiculously good song
Both Animation and music tells such a deep story.
Well... No
It's not animation is just a bunch of art and filters, but if you really want to know the history this video is telling, i'd say is about the final days of plastic beach, after this they get attack by pirates and phase 4 beggins!
@@em_y1229 I can see it as an animation .. I also think its much more personal to them than the final days of plastic beach.
this song just makes me so calm
like seriously who tf needs sleeping pills when youve got this
Nice profile pic ;D
:)
Mind if i join you guys?
Crescendo Yeah, but when it gets to the second part you will wake up instantly ._. It's like when you fall asleep listening to Pink Floyd - Dark Side Of The Moon and then the song Time comes on and you shit yourself and have a heart attack at the same time.
Trust me, I know.
Crescendo o genial con tu foto :3
This song introduced me to Little Dragon and I'm so glad of that. I fucking love Little Dragon.
And gorrilaz? :P
I already knew about Gorillaz, I have been listening to them since I was like 8 years old.
Same here!! I saw a video of a live version and it was love at first sight/sound.
What about To Binge?
Little Dragon is pure auditory sex, glad they have another fan on board.
I recommend, underbart, it's my favorite little dragon song & video.
Check out" klap klap" too
Today my dog passed away, after being 13 years by my side, and I chose this song to remind me of him, I know that he's playing with my grandfather up there, cheers for that
Going to a Sussex University open day when the sun was shining, listening to this, having spent my entire life in the city. It helped me realise, there was a big beautiful world out there, one which I was only on the verge of discovering
Es una de mis rolas favoritas de Gorillaz y lo seguirá siendo, es perfecta
this is my absolute favourite song. i dont know how i didnt find it when it came out. its so beautiful
The track shifted then Little Dragon started singing, and she carried the song. That's talent.
toda la canción es hermosa, pero a partir del 2:15 al 2:45 es aún más mágica, mi canción preferida de todas 💜
