Seeing artists of three generations in transcendental harmony is so very satisfying
If there's one thing Gorillaz has always been great at, it's uniting different generations

@@bigworm3828 why.
@@hooliganhandful1564 it's educational
@nugtastic1 that's your perspective and that's fine. Honestly enjoyed all three entirely. Just makes the song perfect to me.
Can we just stop for a moment, and acknowledge the fact that Sir Elton John is 73 years old, and he STILL has that voice! That guy is amazing.
Hes a hamon user
Same with Donald trump
@@salamifungi Bruh, Donald Trump is literally worse than Dio, but okay

@@salamifungi ok dude where's the proof for that pile of nonsense?! You people really like making up any story to get attention.
Elton John's animated character design makes me smile.
It looks adorable
Amount of dislikes makes my unsmile
animated elton john looks more like elton john than elton john
It kinda looks like Rumpelstiltskin's design in Shrek4
BRO SAME
Murdock is so considerate, trying not to interrupt the show that 2D is putting on, but still helping his friend by trying to capture the ghost. I'm glad we gave him a second chance
HES GETTING A REDEMPTION ARC
Damon and Jamie: Murdoc is redeeming himself.
Also Damon and Jamie: Murdoc is starting a cult.

Second? This is like…the 5th time in the over 20 years of him bein around

elton john and 6lack on a gorillaz song together is something i never thought i'd hear or want, but i do, i really do
I really also want to hear that A LOT
GOSH, they hearted you *w*
you got a heart pog
on everything, whatever 6lack does i feel like it just happens and we just sit back in awe

73 years old and Elton John's voice is still as sweet as honey.
My favorite song from Elton John is “Benny and the Jets”
@@goongoonsworth9290 I really like your so static and grimsby, You should look them up if you haven't herd them❤

6black on the other hand sounds like autotuned crap
I'm starting to think his voice doesn't age.
me: vibin for 4 minutes 20 seconds then all of a sudden
*iTs Me*
420, lmao
yes i am
then i vibed harder
Mario~
Lol Gorillaz Give you a heart
I remember when this video came out. I grew up listening to Elton John, so I wanted to show this to my Mom. We loved Gorillaz and Elton John. But instead I was listening to this alone outside the hospital after she passed. I wish we listened to more music together. Miss you, Mom.
damn... when this song came out i heard it with my mom.... i feel for you man.... i hope you are doing good, we all have to go one day after all.
Bro...
Nobody cares who you grew up with
She's in a sky full of diamonds waiting for you on the other side
my life story
I just realized that Murdoc's walking on beat not only because it's visually funny, but because he doesn't wanna interrupt them lol
he also is confused because they are recording in his room and nobody told him
It's funny seeing Murdoc being considerate of someone else.
He also re lights 2Ds candle when the ghost puts it out
Nope not murdoch but ace from powerpuff girls murdoch is on a break so ace replaced murdoc's position for the meantime
@@dazaiosamu388 Ace was on the last album. Murdoc is back for Sound Machine.
where most people age as they get older, 2D just gets more detailed.
Remember when his little mustache hasn't turned into eyelashey yet
Well, I really don’t notice much details from his phase 1 version all the way to the current one
And Elton just becomes a drawing
I mean, 2D's hair has receded somewhat. He has aged.
So that means...
He was probably a Scribble as a baby
The moment Elton John starts singing, it just elevates this song to a whole new level
Bro I love your name so much
ELEVATOR GOING UP
For real
@@frajerpompka_3409 pootis pencer hear
@@gunsfordays273 when did I ask
3:12 OH MY GOSH, HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THIS the pink phantom snuffs out the candles flames as it passes, and then when Murdoc passes, the flames rekindle! I seriously think the pink phantom is a physical manifestation of Murdoc's successes, especially with the Plastic Beach.
oh my god they do do that .
wow i didnt notcie that thats awsome
The pink reminds me of the cult with the new phase
The candle is a hand of glory - old myth - left hand of a hanged man - lit it either unlocks doors or paralyzes people. Not sure - what that means but - its definitely an added layer of meaning. Also feels like something Murdoc would have laying around.
@@lissaquon607 In the Lost Chord, the Phantom seemingly sends everyone back to Plastic Beach. Maybe he used the hand to unlock a 'door' that led there?
Thematically either aspect kind of fits. This album carries a lot of the sentiment of being trapped in the past, which is a sort of paralysis, and escaping that paralysis to move on into the future, which is sort of like opening a door.
oh yes
Ow
oh hey, it's nice to see a cool youtuber like the same thing as you :]
Everyone likes Gorillaz, this guy
Gorillaz resumed cartoon when? ;p
EL PEPE
I just want to point out that cartoon Elton John is now part of the Gorillaz universe. Which means he also exists in the Powerpuff Girls universe.
What a good point, kind stranger.
@@leifhelland6313 Which is also canon to the Samurai Jack universe
Elton John appears in a Bob the Builder movie and Gorillaz exist in the same universe as the Power Puff girls. This means that Powerpuff girls and Bob the Builder are in a shared universe.

LYRICS:
You've more or less forgotten me this summer
I can't hide my disappointment
I was on my way in the Phantom V
The one you gave away
Try to tell you that I love you but I'm choked up
You forgot and that makes me feel like no one (summer nights)
Were you even really there?
Did you ever really care?
Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had
Long summer nights (summer nights)
Held you a long time, put your name in my rhymes
Refresh your memory of where you wanna be
The Phantom's on the way, she's comin' down the street
I tried to get to Atlanta
On a peach blossom highway
I'm tryin' to put these puzzles out of mind
In a sky made of diamonds
Where the world fell silent
I'll be waiting for you on the other side
Summer lights (everyday, everyday)
Sometimes (ride where the summer goes)
Summer nights
Every night
Summer nights
I tried to say I love you
But you didn't listen (summer nights)
I tried to give you everything you might need (summer nights)
In a sky made of diamonds
And where the world is flawless
I'll be waiting for you on the other side
Of summer lights, summer lights
Hold it in for a long time
Summer lights, seems to me I'm in a dream
Behind these summer lights
The Phantom is coming
You forgot and that makes me feel like no one
She's crossing over the line
Wait, I got so many examples of all of the good times we had
Seems to me I'm in a dream (long summer nights, I loved you a long time)
(Put your name in my rhyme, refresh your memory)
Behind these summer lights
(Of where you wanna be, the Phantom's on the way)
(She's comin' down the street)
Sometimes
Thanks for the lyrics, they help a bit since I'm trying to learn the song
Thanks
❤❤❤
I love how murdoc is in the back like “cannot disturb sir Elton”
Because he is a moron, he wouldn’t care disturbing Elton. At least he didn’t do that
*must steppy step on the beat*
DISTEEEEERBBBB
Maybe because he isn't part of the band 2Dz
When he's behind 2D he's like what is going on?
I love how Elton John is animated, while pretty much every other feature on song machine is the actual person. I guess Elton gets a special place with the Gorillaz crew.
Elton John seems like a fun character to draw. I imagine some animators thought this was a dream come true.
I mean, it's Elton John. The man, the legend.
I was just thinking the same thing, mister Hewlett really did a marvelous job
Sir Elton John is a living legend, he truly deserves this. You shouldn't have doubts about that.
I think it could have something to do with the fact they were working remotely (Elton was in London) either way seeing him animated is great
Elton John really fits the Gorillaz art style like a glove.
He does! I really hope he comes on to do some more songs with them, him and 2-D’s voices were amazing together and I’d love to hear just a duet between them two
I feel like it's more so Gorillaz can make anyone fit the artstyle. Might just be me.
It’s quite sad that they had to put a auto tuned prat in there as well
all quest singers should be animated in their style from now on, this was brilliant, also 2D's makeup was on point, he must have a fancy date with Elton later.
@@mooncommittee
Using autotune is kind of like using balsamic vinegar. You use it when you know your shit sucks ass xDD
We’ll never get another band like Gorillaz, and we’ll certainly never find a singer like Elton John. A truly incredible collaboration.
I love that Elton John simply drives into their recording studio, and then drives back out.
Presumably through their entire house.
I assume this is how Elton John collabs.
No appointments, no schedules. You're recording one day when suddenly Elton John's car crashes through your front door and he grabs the mic. Nobody can stop him because he's a knight.
Yeah like they're thinking ok so we need a really good musician to collaborate with and Elton just fucking drives in on his piano like did you bitchs need some style except with less swearing and more fabulousness because it's Elton John
@@boxatron8010 No no, Swearing is the case on this one, Elton says what he fucking wants and records the sodding track with STYLE AND PINASH, DAMMIT!!
@@notactuallytesco Oh right yeah I forgot Elton John was British
Probably wasn't even paid or supposed to show up
He just heard the music and drove into the house
What genre of music are you?
*Gorillaz:* Yes.
Yes I Jonathan 😄 .
Not funny anymore
@@RetroAdzz agree
This is so accurate
Xd
I thought Elton John & Gorillaz would be a strange collaboration, but after listening to this song over a dozen times, it’s a brilliant one.
Maybe... STRANGly brilliant!?! Eh? Eh??
I'll go now...
Phukk is wrong with you meng, how dare you give Gorillaz and Elton John a second thought.
honestly i think 6lack was the odd one out if anything
@@asucaomiadicka8781 if you just listen enough you can see that his part is important to the song and if you listen to a edit without him you will see something is missing
It happened like this to me
I agree friend
I'm thoroughly conviced that 2-D learned to play this whole song blind just so he could show of his eyeshadow.
And it looks amazing
@autin jones He's not completely blind, but when his eyes are black it means he can barley see. When they're white, which they have been for the last little while, it means he can see...ok but not perfect. We see him reading more than once, and Murdoc let him drive the motorcycle in Aries. He also doesn't seem like the type to purposely try and freak people out, he's generally very sweet
@@autinjones7194 he's not blind? Well he can se but not too well
His eyes are blank cause of a bad injury that murdoc caused
@@autinjones7194 he has a real condition called an eight ball fracture it's when the eyes fill up with blood it's confirmed that's what he has
@@neopolitan6918 I think they were referring to his makeup and how 2d's eyes were shut the entire time.
@@FriedDino-7030 yeah that is true
Why does animated Elton John look more like Elton John than Elton John?
Good artists, good character design
@@HassouTobi88 don't forget good elton jhon
Cause Jaime Hewlett is just and awesome artist!
He pensado lo mismo 😂
Straight up fax bro
Gorillaz style Elton John is the most adorable thing.
2-D looks cute too
The fact that they did an animated version of an non-Gorillaz musician for the first time since Phase 3 (not counting Ace, who did participate only as a substitute)
Heheheh......you might wanna check this out: th-cam.com/video/qoAxRICB9j8/w-d-xo.html
But garage palace is not canon, you see russell giant again
melancholy hill had a bunch of people animated, Like Snoop Dog! I am Loven these new songs
Wait murdoc is back?
Obvious Anonymous He has been for a couple years!
The fact that 2-D can play a full on song on piano with his eyes closed, just shows how amazing he is.
This song makes me wish more modern artists worked with legends of the past. This song was amazing, and 6lack's part has grown on me.
Sorry to bother you, mind checking out my new song? :) Constructive feedback is appreciated.
@@machduel your music might be cool and all but promoting it on comments just ain't it
@@timelemon4660 I understand haha. I've gotten more support than hate when self promoting, I just don't know if the yt algorithm does enough in terms of finding you a larger audience so I've been doing my own promotion this way. Once I got a solid subscriber base I'm gonna look into paid promotion more.
They do... if they like the sound, they will!!!!
Let’s get that Gorillaz X Paul McCartney/Robert Plant/Roger Waters next
Just realized that Murdoc is so confused in this song is because they’re performing in his room.
😮
Or because they forgot to turn the recording light on.
Damn it's right! I haven't realized it until now
yea i wonder why nobody after watching few music videos is talking about murdoc having depression, anxiety and possibly schizophrenia
I thought it was because he was trying to catch a ghost with a butterfly net.

@@shaquelcunningham9135 when*
“In a sky made of diamonds, where the world is flawless” just feels so classy. Absolutely love this song
"i tried to say I love you...
"I'll be waiting for you in the other side"
“Summer lights, summer lights
Hold it in for a long time”
"a sky made of diamonds" sounds like it refers to live inside a geodesic dome where the _sky_ is made of polygons and paired with "where the world is flawless" gets a dystopian hint...
It's the night sky, but ok
Still waiting for that crossover Gorillaz with Daft Punk.
Edit: Oh dear... Heard the news and we definitely not getting to see Gorillaz and Daft punk now. Shame.
This is probably the worst timeline we are on.
That would be epic
I think the collabs in Song Machine are primarily British musicians
@@Lylybeebee no there was also Fatoumata Diawara, she's french
And daft punk are french soooo ? We can Hope hehe 🙄😊
Agathe Tonin fair forgot about her. She was a really talented *singer* though, so she fit in better with Gorrilaz than Daft Punk who’d make the same parts as Gorrilaz themselves
@@Lylybeebee yeah u're right 🥺 I'm sad I love daft punk
I used to not really like this song, but it grows on you. Damn, it's really really good

I'm happy to hear Elton's voice so rich and strong.

This is a crossover that I never ever expected but I'm glad exists.

@@namdraws well i knew from the lyrics, it could be hinting to him saying goodbye, considering his age, and its always sad so i wouldnt be surprised lol
@@user-uq1bq5wq4w 73, he probably has a better idea of how much time he has left more than anyone. Maybe 2, maybe 5, or he could surprise himself and end up being one of those bastards living till 90. Don't think he is going to die in 2020 though, that ticket is too crowded and he needs more stage space than that. :P
Fr
@@user-uq1bq5wq4w Idk it sounds more like the lyrics of the song as a whole are about a past relationship, and sudden lyrics about EJ's children wouldn't really make sense, especially when you consider the fact that he says "I tried to say I love you, but you didn't listen, I tried to give you everything you might need.", which wouldn't make too much sense if he was talking about his kids.
@@drkaijureviews2438 it actually does
the "i love you" he delivered could not the typical, trite "i love you" that a parent would give you every other day before you go to school, but the "i love you" meant to make a long-lasting impact to his loved ones
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that Gorillaz, 6lack, and ELTON JOHN are on a song together?
Instant classic.
Anyone else love love love how Elton John looks in Gorillaz’s style?
YESS I love how he looks
IRL he look like old man in Gorillaz style he look like kid that born rich
Yeah I think so, he looks good in their style :)
6lack looks cool in the gorillaz style too, but for some reason he’s really realistic
@@winfield1775 Ikr, I wonder why they went with that as a design choice 🤔
friend of mine : " why is Elton John louder than everything "
me : "obviously because he is Elton John "
People with "trained" voices have this amazing resonance. There was a guy like that at this place I used to buy electronics surplus, his voice would resonate off the walls and he never talked very loud, his voice had a real presence is all. Well, Elton's been belting out songs since I was little so his is about as trained as a voice gets.
tbh he’s not loud enough
yaaaa
@@crys-2955 fr
moço, esse nome ai... tu é brasileiro né?
Eltons voice gets better the older he gets. its wild. There's such a richness to it now that he didn't have before.
All the bjs he gave thickened his voice
"Relax its a joke hes a great artist"
Experience in working with your voice and learning new techniques does that. Also, there's a certain quality added to someone's voice as they age that's sort of indescribable and different for each person. For some, especially when they aren't taking care of their voice, it makes them sound worse. For others, like Sir Elton John, when you properly take care of your voice, it can add something that makes it better over the years.
Practice practice practice
Completely agree 👍
He’s great
I just love how murdoc is in the background tryna get the monster but also is like “hmm what are they doing in my room? I must tippy toe on the beat and get that pink thingy slimy monster but no disturb on 2-D being an total crack-head” then comes at the end with “iTs Me” the classic guy lolll👍🏻
Back in the mid 2000s, Gorillaz felt like it was ahead of it's time and now it feels like this is the era where they're supposed to be
The world finally caught up lol
But yet they still ahead in a sense
A few steps ahead
It’s because they make music they want to
yes
this era doesnt appreciate it.
The Phantom is happiness. 2-D is singing about how much he misses the good times, 6black is remorseful of the happiness he lost, but continues to keep the memories with him. Elton John is singing about the acceptance that the happy times he experienced were fleeting, but he has hope that he'll get those times back.
Meanwhile, instead of using song or healthy conversation through music, Murdoc is trying to catch and imprison the Phantom. He's never truly been happy, and the only way he believes that happiness can be attained, is by capturing it and holding it for as long as possible.
(Thats my take on it anyway)
That makes perfect sense tho! ❤️
And I feel like the passionate vocal by Elton John “She crossing...over the line!” Is him realizing that the happiness that was slowly fading away has finally gone, or. “Crossed over the line” and that’s why he sounds so passionate because it’s him realizing that the happiness is gone, at first I thought it was about a break up and the crossing over the line was her moving on, but this makes so much more sense
You are a GENIUS
@@harrisonwhite107 His passion could also be him following and crossing over the line himself😙
did you notice that when the phantom flies by, his flames go out, but as murdoc walks by they light again

I feel like we're not being appreciative enough that there is a music video for EVERY SINGLE SONG. The Now Now had 2 music videos, and the second one came out 3 months after the album did.
right???? the music is good as always but the fact that we get a new mv with every song is just making it so special and exciting.
Well except for rhinestone eyes they didnt animate that one but someone else actually did it's pretty cool
I mean, the only song in the Song Machine album so far to not get a music video is How Far (I think thats what it's called)
Ceramic Uoiuido I’m pretty sure originally the plan was to give How far a mv,but Tony Allen suddenly passed away,so they released it early
@Cat Stuck in A hat I actually think they had never planned to release the track until the full album came out, it’s listed as a bonus track on the listing.
So 2D and Murdoc are jamming out with 6lack and Sir Elton John while Noodle and Russ go on a road trip?
Interesting.
Maybe it's a roadtrip.
You’re actually right, The Valley Of The Pagans might be happening at the same time as the pink phantom
What if they were all slowly drifting apart. Going their seperate ways.
Looks like it. In the intro, you can see the car out front with the lights on, and it looks like it’s backing out. I think this is set in the same time as Valley of the Pagans.
The last time they split up was during plastic beach when Murdoc and 2D were on the island while Noodle and Russel traveled the seas while Russel was a giant.

It would have been more amazing without 6lack, fucking mumble rapper can't even understand one word
@@ENTERtheMORGUE I felt that way too at first but now that I’ve heard it so many times I know what he says and it goes well with the song
@@drackattack9339 Yeah maybe I need to be more open about it, it's already on my playlist so maybe I will get used to it
@@ENTERtheMORGUE how tf is he a mumble rapper
@@footballfan763 htf not? You saying like he isn't mumbling? Can't even understand what he's fucking saying. Mumbling + autotune = mumble rap?
My mom is an Elton John fan and when I showed her this she was like "Who Are These People?" and then when Elton's verse came on, her jaw dropped
Featured artists dont usually get "gorillafied" but Elton is special.
Yeah, I know ! I thought about that too, NO OTHER artist got an animated character in the original Gorillaz style !
@@adrwen4697 What about Del?
@Adrwen What about every single featuring artist on Plastic Beach? Most if not all of them appear on Melancholy hill's music video. +Technically also rhinestone eyes, but thats not a proper video idk
Popcaan did
@@dejiko Del is more or less playing a character that happens to share his name, whereas Elton here is literally Elton
I love how murdoc is just messing around the whole time, and the end cracked me up a ton, plus I noticed how 2D's eyes are closed the whole time!
The fact that the Gorillaz can just have a song *featuring* Elton John says something on its own
Ok featuring elton john isnt a big deal to me because I mean they're both respected artists. But featuring the *retired* elton john is really big
@@rahe2141 Elton John isn't retired, his farewell tour got derailed and rescheduled until 2021 because of covid.
Also he's one of the most respected musicians still alive and performing today, him being in a duet with 2D means the Gorillaz have truly made it.
@@bt1234567892010 just wait until they make 2D x EJ shipps

then have some random auto tune ruin it
2-D: Romance/Dreams/Hope

@@diobrando6131 well in this song he’s that
The Pink Phantom: Swoosh everywhere/Swoosh everywhere/Swoosh everywhere

Lmao Elton looks like he’s both 6 years old and 67 years old at the same time in animation form
Hmmm, probably cause of his tiny legs
I didn't think of that at all until you said it
They've properly Grollazised him.
Just like the real Elton John
BRUH
I’m glad to see famous singers/bands like gorillaz shouting out small musicians like Elton John
elton john is not a small musician but go off ig
@@KSPRFANQS wooooosh
Exactly!!
😭
@@KSPRFANQS Bro lost the joke 😭
okay but jokes aside can we take a hot minute to appreciate 2D’s beautiful voice
Yes daddy😘
Eyelashes*
Fuck yea
Voice should be good, it's Damon Albarn
fr though
Seeing a collab with Elton John, Gorillaz and 6lack is the last think i'd ever imagine
.....you’d ever imagine before you do what?
You must be new to Gorillaz. Gorillaz always seems to get the most wacky and completely left-field artists to collab with each other and everytime it ends up working.
Not to mention the song called Clint Eastwood
That and steve in smash, what a day
this!
2d: theeese summer nights..
Murdoc: holy shit is that Elton John
Nah, he was like "Oh, look, Elton John, and........IS THAT A PIN’ PHANTOM?"
holy shit is that orphaner dualscar
He popped in like, "Are you assholes making a video with Elton John? Without ME???"
@@smonkk8556 holy shit is that a fellow homestuck
Sir Elton John's reveal gives me chills every time.
1:52 I appreciate that they animated murdoc to walk to the beat of the music. Also him carrying a bug net is hilarious lol
its a ghost catchers main weapon against the ghouls.
-Who you gonna call?
-Anyone except Murdoc.
can we also acknowledge how absolutely TERRIFIED he looks? lmao
@@cupowhiskers I know right. He's like "Anakin. Start panikin. I don't have a planakin"
@@cesarfernandezherranz9345 lol
Imagine collabing with gorillaz and they're like "oh yeah we also got elton john for this song lol"
Well knowing how Damon acts yeah that's probably accurate 😂
He's like**
@@joshgonzalez2556 Wdym there's 4 members?? Also im sure its not just Damon organising it all alone, unless...
He collabs with many many artists but in reality he's the only musical member of gorillaz
Did I ever think I needed a Gorillaz styled Elton John: No
Do I need it now: Yes
I hope Oliver Tree appears in Song Machine :(
@Marco Polo I think they do
@@awesomewesboi lemme fact check for season one
@@MarcoPolo-py4lv yo same
No you sont
The way 6LACK just randomly pops in is just very funny to me-
Now that you said that, it's like you're listening to a calm love song on the TV, but accidentally sit on a remote and it changes to a rapper
@@creepystevie1186 Ah yes, Rap god ensues.
That Elton John guy sounded great he should make more music
Bruh
Actual good comment lmao
Billy Joel said he should make less and Billy is king
Don't make me go r/woooosh
I really hope he’s joking about not knowing who Elton John is.
I like to think that Elton did 2-D's makeup.
Or noodle 🤣
He totally would too😂
YES
@Elias black Because
Elton John looks so ugly
i love how murdoc is running around like ''where am i? gotta catch that gho-HOLY SHIT ELTON JOHN?!''
Y e s
Wait i didn't notice that, where was it again?
Yes! I keep trying to get deep into the song, but I can't help but giggle madly at Murdoc tiptoeing around
Sir Elton John!
I can't get over the fact that this band is so old and yet they're still making the best music ever-
who would have thought Elton John would make so much sense in the Gorillaz animation style?
Ikr!!
Yes.
He is like 20% legs
EL PEPE 😎👍
Can’t believe Elton John got the Gorillaz for his solo.
I can't believe they made up a whole band for 10 year, just to get excuse for animating Elton

The last part, from where Elton John sings "the phantom is coming," where the 3 are singing together with all those delicious harmonies and parts fitting together so nicely, is brilliant. I didn't think they could top Strange Timez, but this one is genius too.
How could they not top Strange Timez? It has Elton fucking John
@@MarcoPolo-py4lv I mean I like Elton John but I like more Cure songs
Strange timez was the worst one lmao. Only song that I only listened to once.
Aries best one so far

This is one of my favorite songs from Gorillaz.
I just realized that 2D has been happier in Song Machine than in other times, just see the Big smile he has in desolé and How he enjoys playing the piano in this video.
Actually he has been a lot happier since the previous album... you know, because of Murdoc being far away in prison lol
Erin Tesden Or he’s _possessed._
Notice how his eyes have been _white_ instead of black these past few albums?
I absolutely love it! 😊
@@LuckyRabbit234 no thats just how his eyes work
@@sugah9392 yeah he can just change it whenever he wants to
me: vibing to the chill music and elton john’s beautiful voice
murdoc: ITS ME
That could be from another episode
Yes
FNAF reference
I like how nobody has mentioned that, as this vid implies, Elton John has ALWAYS been a toon in the Gorillas universe.
I....uh....oh fuck your right
I mean if you found out Elton was a cartoon in real life would you really question it, guy is so out there he wouldn’t look out of place with The Looney Tunes
Z
Oh shit tru
does that mean that Elton John is a animated figure in their universe like the Gorillaz in our Universe? (New Fan here, like to ask dumb questions lol)
Man that 3:44 is one of the prettiest harmonies I've ever heard.
I think the same

No budget for 2d's eyes this time
Bro, that's where all the budget went. Lookin fancy as fuck
the budget went on his eyelashes instead
No it all went into Murdoc's phantom catching business
They must've saved a ton on that white ink then...
Budget for eyeshadow and eyeliner, though!

I've been going through a really rough break up, and I decided to give this song a listen again because it's been awhile. It's painful yet comforting listening to this song again after everything that happened and realizing what the song relates and how I can relate to it. Thank you Gorillaz, you have helped me through many rough times before, and I'm glad there's still more to discover from you guys. It brings me genuine happiness, and you won't stop being my absolute favorite band :)
