Probably one of their most simple songs, yet it leaves a impact. Beautiful synths and singing, and the beat is amazing. Listen to this when you are mad, it will cheer you up.
Id disagree it has alot of thought in the music and alot of thought in the lyrics the album is supposed to be this look into music for the future a more electronic sound that's not better or worse but just a sad goodbye to the old ways it's supposed to sound rlly studio in am art form like a look at where we are on our way from the old to the future or real beach to a fake or plastic beach
I discovered this song about ten years after it was released and to be honest it’s probably my favorite song now even though I was late as hell to find it
I remember driving to my parents house.......depressed as hell, and I didn't know why since I have a good life. But I was listening to this album and for whatever reason, it pulled me out of that dark place I was in. I will forever be grateful to Damon Albarn. Whenever life gets rough, his music pulls me through.
I was blessed to see them in SF they are amazing! I mean everything about the show was amazing! This song had everybody singing and I remember I was holding my GF and she was crying happy tears lol probably cause she was drunk too but just do whatever you can to see them live!
Each version they have of this song is blows my mind, I just love it that they have the guts to make every song different and sort of their own style, this is just a good example of the Gorillaz^^
mine as well. I love the gorrillaz. There is a band here in st.louis who call them themselves Feel Good Inc and cover a bunch of Gorrillaz songs and do a great job. the next best thing to seeing the real Gorrillaz perform
José Luis Reyes Reyes si a mi también me provoca algo así ... Me produce un sentimiento de melancolía de algo o alguna situación que pudo haber sido pero al final no sucedió o no fue como lo esperaba, y a la vez me da paz y tranquilidad de que algo mejor estar por suceder...😊
Ana Lucía Flores justo asi como la describes Melancolía de lo q no pudo ser... Pero sin tranquilidad de q algo bueno llegue 😢 Una mezcla de sentimientos encontrados, pero una muy hermosa canción
I remember 9th grade sitting by myself at lunch and watching this performance almost everyday for like a month. I don't know why but I'll still always love it
I remember hearing this, for the first time, driving on the freeway… on a cloudy day, feeling like the worst person in the world. It made me feel comforted. Like someone knew what I was going through
Seeing Gorillaz live is something that can't be captured on a video or said with words. The energy, people around you and overall the "mood" changing songs right after each other. I sure don't know how it is to be drugged to the bones, but damn I make no ill will towards those who are willing to be, since the experience alone without any drugs was really powerful. Rhinestone Eyes and Oh Green World with Kids with Guns performed even today are one of the best songs you can hear live
Teresa Arroyo there's only 2 guitars, the rest are unplugged :s like the lil' children playing videogames, If you are the first son u'll know what Im talking about (nah Either me can hear them :c )
Amo está canción tanto como lo amo a él...❤ es una canción tan bonita y triste que puedo escucharla y tener sentimientos encontrados. " no puedes tener lo que quieres pero puedes tenerme a mi " ...❤😭
I heard this song when my boyfriend dedicated it to me, and even though we are no longer together I listen to it and it excites me like the first time... ❤
Up on Melancholy Hill There's a plastic tree Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day Of another dream Well you can't get what you want But you can get me So let's set out to sea, love 'Cause you are my medicine When you're close to me When you're close to me So call in the submarines 'Round the world we'll go Does anybody know, love If we're looking out on the day Of another dream? If you can't get what you want Then come with me Up on Melancholy Hill Sits a manatee Just looking out for the day When you're close to me When you're close to me When you're close to me
This song taught me how to sing harmony. I'm the weakest singer in my church praise team and I have to hear someone singing to stay on the right key when others are harmonizing, I can't make up my own harmony what so ever, but with this song I can. I love it so much ~_~
I love looking at all of the clearly new fans who know pretty much nothing about Gorillaz. It's kinda funny, but at the same time, it's nice to see that the fanbase is constantly growing
@@winelord Only for Plastic Beach, though. The real band doesn't really have "members", though - it's basically the biggest session musician gig out there, with plenty of A-listers eager to play with them. Damon's got a lot of cred. Gorillaz may go down as one of the sneakiest best bands of all time once all is said and done. Edit: Jayy pointed out that there are three actual members and he is correct - everyone he listed is credited in Reject False Icons as a band member and Remi does contribute musically. So, the spirit of what I said is still mostly correct still, but there's a little more stability.
My dog "perrocho" passed last december, this has become my healing song. I dream of him as part of the Gorillaz universe. "You are my medicine, when you are close to me"

ThisIs ReadyMade I listened last night cause I was so frustrated with my life, and automatically fell into the Gorillaz trance. It felt amazing
No sé qué dice :v, pero toma mi like buen hombre =)
Disagree, some incredible skill on show here. Precise playing. I dont k ow another band on earth thst could replicate this.

@@davewalker3873 look at my other comment
Damon can sing anything, such a talented man
Damon Salvatore
I really love his accent
His voice is so soothing to the soul.
@@stevocanuck LOL
The lead guitarist always rocks the fuck out of that captains hat! xD
mick jones from The Clash. also the bassist, Paul, is from The Clash.
Leo Mendez I thought I had seen the guitarist from somewhere
Everyone forgets about bass ☹
Needs Strummer
@@candygubble1719 wow I just realized it was them?
even the simpliest song gives a heavy feeling
I think the one small line portion "you can't get what you want" is part of that impact.
I discovered this song about ten years after it was released and to be honest it’s probably my favorite song now even though I was late as hell to find it
Same same

Hope you're doing well, Man. Glad this song bought you comfort
@@garfieldluver3776 I'm doing good! Still some tough times, but overall, life is good. I appreciate your note....be well, friend.
ive been there mate. the other side is 100 times better than youd remembered its worth the fight. music is escapism at its best.
hugs for you buddy :)
Having a “good life” doesn’t mean much about depression, it’s partially genetic
Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream
Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set out to sea
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
So call in the submarines
'Round the world will go
Does anybody know her
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream
If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me
Up on melancholy hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
Songwriters: Damon Albarn / Jamie Hewlett

probably my fave Gorillaz song
Yea, this one, dare, and one other I can't remember the name of are really the best.
mine as well. I love the gorrillaz. There is a band here in st.louis who call them themselves Feel Good Inc and cover a bunch of Gorrillaz songs and do a great job. the next best thing to seeing the real Gorrillaz perform
+DustyBill cool
Seeing Mick and Paul from The Clash on here kinda makes me sad since Joe Strummer isnt here anymore . The song makes it sadder
Rip Joe
Es una de esas extrañas canciones que te ponen feliz y triste a la vez... ¡Es perfecta!
❤👌😊
José Luis Reyes Reyes do you speak with a lisp
José Luis Reyes Reyes si a mi también me provoca algo así ... Me produce un sentimiento de melancolía de algo o alguna situación que pudo haber sido pero al final no sucedió o no fue como lo esperaba, y a la vez me da paz y tranquilidad de que algo mejor estar por suceder...😊
es una canción cálida pero triste
Ana Lucía Flores justo asi como la describes
Melancolía de lo q no pudo ser... Pero sin tranquilidad de q algo bueno llegue 😢
Una mezcla de sentimientos encontrados, pero una muy hermosa canción
José Luis Reyes Reyes siiiiii X2 😢😭😊😀
Anyone else cry when they first heard this?
9 years later but yes... lol
I still cry hearing this song...
I still cry lol
Why?
still do
You can't be depressed when this is in your ears
Yes you can lol
@@alejandroromero5092 Wrong. Also irrelevant to reply to a 2 year old comment lol.
YES YOU CAN
Can u say wow. I love these guys live.
+ash danish wow
Wow
Wow
wow!
Probably can.
I remember 9th grade sitting by myself at lunch and watching this performance almost everyday for like a month. I don't know why but I'll still always love it
That guitar delay effect really adds to the live version. Beautiful!
This still gives me such a warm feeling in my heart, even after all these years.
Beautiful people making beautiful music
Reflections and loves, past & present. Whenever I hear this melody.
I remember hearing this, for the first time, driving on the freeway… on a cloudy day, feeling like the worst person in the world. It made me feel comforted. Like someone knew what I was going through
This song literally takes the words out of my heart, mind and mouth.
Plastic Beach saved my life......Bless you DA.
Can’t believe that this was 9 years ago
*10 but yeah same

I didn't realize all of the guitars in this song....
Most people don't - I did not realize it either. However, rarely do all of them play at the same time either.
Teresa Arroyo there's only 2 guitars, the rest are unplugged :s like the lil' children playing videogames, If you are the first son u'll know what Im talking about
(nah Either me can hear them :c )
they perform it differently live
In the studio version? Most of the song is done by synthesizers, live Damon adds with the acoustic, an electric rhythmic and a lead.
1 or two of them are bass
best performance 😍😍😍😍😍😍
They play awesome, Beautiful!
I cry every time I listen to this song. thought I was the only one
Wow, I love the Gorillaz and their animations. This song is beautiful (and so is Damon!)
Amo está canción tanto como lo amo a él...❤ es una canción tan bonita y triste que puedo escucharla y tener sentimientos encontrados.
" no puedes tener lo que quieres pero puedes tenerme a mi " ...❤😭
My last check in for the night. I finally get to sleep. Thank you for everything. You always had my back wherever in the World I was....
Gotta admit, no matter what some people say about this group, they have lots of creativity and they sound good live!!!
This has become my favourite Gorillaz song
Up on Melancholy HillThere's a plastic treeAre you here with me?
Just looking out on the dayOf another dream
as soon as the crowd started cheering in the beginning and it cut to the live stage for the first time i literally lost it. i need to see them live.
I love this version more than the original
Soy un hombre de gustos simples: veo un vídeo de Gorillaz y le doy like
Best song. period
M starting my 2021 ... With this track on my headphone 🎧🤜🏽🤛🏼🤘🏼(now(1/02/21))
Thank you
Gorillaz 2016
It's delayed till 2017. Damon doesn't want to rush it.
Stop, okay. The album will be released in 2016.
Roby Miller dammit, *2017
Osvaldo Moore Lol 2018
2019
The most simple and beautiful song ever writed.....
Gorillaz are just amazing! I love them!
i would cry if i sang this. wouldn't be able to hold my composure
gracias damon albarn por existir y dejarnos esta gran obra de arte, ese solo con la guitarra al principio fue increíble
I heard this song when my boyfriend dedicated it to me, and even though we are no longer together I listen to it and it excites me like the first time... ❤
One of the most soulfull beautiful song of all times!!!
Blur & The Clash ❤
you can't be serious...yes, that is one of the best songwriters of our time, respect.
I thought this song was all the keyboard. But now that I've seen it live I realized that there were violin's and guitars in it too
I think that's just the live version
Love this Song so much !!
So great to see Paul and mick really a shame joe is no longer with us he would’ve loved this sort of stuff.
Vcs tem muitos fans no meu país, melodia da boa, som insano totalmnete alternativo, coisa que nao tem muito aqui... muito bom. parabéns
BRASIL!!!
It’s amazing how some people manage to bring all these different sounds together to make such and amazing sound that makes you feel things
Gorillaz 4 EVER!!!
That guitar... Shoots me to the space 😌😌
Porque eres mi medicina
Cuando estás cerca de mí 😍
Absolutely BRILLIANT SOUND !!!!
Mick jones - legend
When i'm 40 but the song takes me to my 6's😢
Ya
Una de las rolas que le puedes subir a todo lo que da sin importar lo que pase por qué sabes que nadie te va a criticar ....
I absolutely love this song
Pô vey, que perfeito!! Adoro os Gorillaz, e essa música, então!!
Beautiful song ❤️
I love this song 😊 It's perfect!
Up on Melancholy Hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me?

So let's set out to sea, love
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
So call in the submarines
'Round the world we'll go
Does anybody know, love
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream?
If you can't get what you want
Then come with me
Up on Melancholy Hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
When you're close to me
Damion Albarn legend.
I've been to the Canary Islands in 2000, Ireland 2010, and Munich/Schliersee in 2016. My apologies for the misspelling.. Of Course Toronto in 2018...
When you fell in love with someone elses voice you don't compare if it's worse or better you just see it's different but you like it anyway.
I adore the swanky guitar player!!!!💖💫😘
This song taught me how to sing harmony. I'm the weakest singer in my church praise team and I have to hear someone singing to stay on the right key when others are harmonizing, I can't make up my own harmony what so ever, but with this song I can. I love it so much ~_~
This song is Awesome Live😁😁
wonder if the gorillaz are ever going to tour in australia
Stugem S I hope so their releasing a new album soon so we can see
art.
Damon Albarn, an authentic genius...
I love looking at all of the clearly new fans who know pretty much nothing about Gorillaz. It's kinda funny, but at the same time, it's nice to see that the fanbase is constantly growing
I like how I only know the names of the fictional band members 2d murdoc Russell and noodle, yet I don't know the names of the real band memebers
the real band members chang a lot so yore not alone.
Except for Damon
two of the clash, Mick Jones and Paul Simonon with the white peak caps
@@winelord Only for Plastic Beach, though. The real band doesn't really have "members", though - it's basically the biggest session musician gig out there, with plenty of A-listers eager to play with them. Damon's got a lot of cred.

There is officially 3 members of Gorillaz. Damon Albarn, Jamie Hewlett and Remi Kabaka Jr.,
Alguien sabe por que uno de los guitarristas ya no esta en la banda
Linda música
gorillaz isn't a band.. it's a group of smart, talented people that knew how to make good music and to make it look so young..
quien aparte de mi la esta escuchando en el 2020 excelente canción para dedicar
My dog "perrocho" passed last december, this has become my healing song. I dream of him as part of the Gorillaz universe.
"You are my medicine, when you are close to me"
now i cant find the official video by emimusic why???
I know me either
💟Damon
When they come to argentina,to buenos aires or rosario?
Damon plays bar chords like Graham so sweet 😊
My morning energy,before going to work💌🙋♂️👨🍳🍜🍝
the shape and moves of Paul Simonon are unmistakable
This put me in the most glorious trance for four minutes and four seconds...
But it's 4 minutes and 5 seconds long ? :
Absolutely amazing! Ah the melody is so beautiful!
2:10 JUST IN TIME FOR BREAKFAST
Not so super fast now huh.
Lol
i saw them in detroit a few days ago and it was the best day of my life i loved it
Gorillaz 2019 😁👍
Exelente canción desde Medellín Colombia se escucha y se le tiene una gran admiración
:') Es simplemente bellísima
💖
