i remember reading someone’s theory that this song is actually about murdoc’s relationship with noodle. not like in a gross romantic way but as father and daughter. he’s an alcoholic with a fucked up childhood, awful temper and by no means is considered a good person by neither himself nor everyone who knows him. so when a little girl comes crashing into his life and drastically changes it he becomes shaken. they grow to become father and daughter, so losing her in el manana fucks him up even more. i mean, consider it, he goes even crazier than before and makes a cyborg out of her image. he doesn’t do the same when russel disappears but instead gets a drum machine. he could have gotten another guitar player or something similar but he didn’t. in all interviews during phase three he continuously talks about her as being “somewhere out there” and even calls her his little girl in one of the pirate radios. if that’s not a man in grief then i don’t know what. i just, idk really like the idea that they have this sort of relationship
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 submarine 'Round the world we'll 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
This song brings to the surface my deepest feelings and brings me to tears but they're a good kind of tears that leave me with a bitter sweet feeling... It's so beautiful
This song has always been my favorite song out there, but GOD the acoustic version really hits. It brings me damn near to tears every time I listen to it.
Some songs you’ve heard before and like it’s cool. But then life goes on and then you hear it again when you need to. What I enjoy when I hear this song which is a dichotomy because it’s kind of a sad song but I remember the good times. And that’s a beautiful blessing. I miss you dad. Te quiero siempre.
I’ve known the original version of this song forever. But one night my buddy and I went out to where my ex and I would sit, and he showed me this version while I talked about all the things on my heart from my old relationship. God damn does this song fit every scenario that you’re in your feels. I needed that kind of thing that night. Thank God for my good friends
Wow, I love this song and can listen to it all day every day, and this version is absolutely beautiful with the bells and marimba. I could listen to it every day too! so good. :')
its 2 in the morning and my head hurts from crying over this song. i really dont know what's compelling me to do this, but i feel the need to vent here to justify why i'm bawling my eyes out over this in particular. its most definitely because of my best friend julie, who i hope to fuck isn't reading this embarrassing mess right now, who put this as the very first song in the playlist we both share together, and still do. she doesn't live with me anymore, and i think listening to this really made that realization hit me again. i met her when we were both 12 years old, before either of us even knew about that fact, playing team fortress 2. my step-father came into my life a year after, and i had an entire highschool of abuse to look forward to; she was constantly my best friend throughout that entire thing. both of us were faking our identities online trying to rationalize how we felt about who we were, and she came out to me when we were both about 16. my deepest regret is not doing the same to her that day. i only came out to her when i was about to graduate, and she still promised me to get a place together. i ran away from home, using my work money to hold out and pay for a plane ticket down there by october 2nd of last year, the best day of my life. i missed the second flight on the 1st, staying up all night to catch the first one next morning. when she picked me up, i swear i cried for twenty minutes as she started the nearly six hour drive down to our new home, first taking me to dauphin island right off the coast of alabama. she loved the sea, and she used to work at a sea lab there, which is why im sure she loved this entire album. that day was the first time i ever saw the ocean. i didn't sleep at all for well over a day, but i never felt better. not even a year passed before we had to separate because of covid shit completely fucking up all of our plans; we still talk, but listening to this again makes me feel like i won't get another chance like that ever again; that i fucked up somewhere and here i am. i hope that isn't true. i love you, sis. apologies to anybody that's made it this far in this post; i hope y'all are doing better.
I believe in you...there's still time, and there's no way in hell she doesn't still deeply care about you if she was willing to do all of that for you and stick with you through your pain. Just don't ever let her go, and I know you can still have a happy ending.
Oh lordy... (For those still commenting on this I broke up with her!! I was a junior in highschool when I posted this and we ended up dating for almost 2 years she wasn't the one... I'm Sorry to disappoint y'all)
When you think this song couldn't been more beautiful, but you find this acoustic version. (I would've love he sings those last "when you're close to me" as he does live show, but still, beautiful.)
puedes interpretar esta canción a mil maneras, yo la dedico al ser mas hermoso que salio de mi vida y llego para hacerme tan feliz, mi pequeño Isaac, te amo mi vida entera!
where can you get this? like. a tangible copy? or well a downloadedable one? i mean loooooool i wanna support the band so i actually wanna legally own this shit instead of ripping it off youtube. kinda reminds me of like the elusive acoustic version of everlong. agh. these two are like my favorite sadish love songs ever.
If I could send music through time, I would add this song to my 'Emergency' mix tape for my fifth grade graduation. I was moving from the school building my love interest went to.
Fue aquel 25 de mayo del 2018 a las 12:01am, cuando que decidí dedicarte este tema para tu cumpleaños, agregando un saludo de una cantante de reggae y un escrito largo. Me enviaste un audio llorando y agradeciendo por lo que había hecho. Te amo Ale❤
"Well, you can't get what you want but you can get me" used to sound so sweet when he sang it but now it's all bitter because I know that I can't even get him anymore because he decided to leave.
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
“You can’t get what you want but you can get me” is the saddest but sweetest line ever
the acoustic version really hits it
This shit really do be hitting different
This song is pure sugar coated depression.
I could ask you the same question. :|
Same.
And i love it

That's a very cool theory. No matter which phase we look, Gorillaz always had this feeling of being a family rather than just a band.
Cool theory, but atcually I remember than Damon said the Gorillaz Songs doesn`t relate with Gorillaz story
@@danelanormal5922 "through russel. Not his muscles, but the percussion he provides."
@@danelanormal5922 the in lore explanation for this song (if i remember this right) was that Murdoc locked 2D in a room for a period and got this
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 submarine
'Round the world we'll 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

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT THIS SONG COULDN'T GET ANY SADDER
I miss Gorillaz so much.
all we can do is wait, to see if they ever come back.
Gabe Smellz I'll be waiting up on Melancholy Hill.
.
Guess what? They're coming back together.
THEY"RE COMING BACK TOGETHER!!!!!!!
This song brings to the surface my deepest feelings and brings me to tears but they're a good kind of tears that leave me with a bitter sweet feeling... It's so beautiful
i don't want this song to be over
Like we need 1-week-version
This is literally the only song that makes me cry without feeling sad. It's so beautiful I can't even put it into words.
WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS
WHAT
Guitar chords are D A Bmin G A G A (all barred)
Eric Shawkey Thanks.
this is such a beautiful song, acoustic even better
this song will be the song at my wedding dance.
I love his Voice and how he sing.... So pure fellings. Damhn Love it :')
Agree
This is the version of "I know I'm not enough for you... Im sorry" that I repeat over and over inside my head
When you love someone and he doesn't love you back, you let him go so he can be happy. The opposite is also true
I can't stop listening this song....
tears in my eyes
which four of you soggy corndogs disliked this
Hahahahha best comment ever
Don't forget that salted slug over there
Soggy corndog is insult perfection. I used it around friends, and now it's spreading like wildfire.
This song has always been my favorite song out there, but GOD the acoustic version really hits. It brings me damn near to tears every time I listen to it.
This is me and my boyfriends' song and this version sounds like a lullaby, I feel the tears coming. I love this so much.
Same In every way
sameee
Same for me and my boyfriend and I am crying already
I bet they broke up by now
Yeah
6 years later and im still listening to this
It's one of those forever-songs
I was sitting in math class with this in my head, a physical need to listen to this growing in my heart. So peaceful and sweet is this tune.

I happen to stumble across this at 1 am and I've never been more emotional in my life.
"...dum dum, dum dum, dum dum..." =C
This makes me so happy :)
This makes me so melancholy

Now the question is _which version is better_
In my opinion the Acoustic one is better
Ew not you people again........
Pokemanic33 absolutely love both but there's something about the acoustic version that's just hits the mark for me.

(I would've love he sings those last "when you're close to me" as he does live show, but still, beautiful.)
definitely want this playing at my funeral.
I'm stealing this comment . . . this would make an excellent end credits song for the end of the world.
I just need this on apple music so i can listen to this song and cry anywhere, at all times
puedes interpretar esta canción a mil maneras, yo la dedico al ser mas hermoso que salio de mi vida y llego para hacerme tan feliz, mi pequeño Isaac, te amo mi vida entera!
Just perfect

You can just go to those youtube to mp3 websites.
I can’t find one on iTunes. Which sucks.
What comment? There’s nothing in the description...
well it’s on spotify now so...
Need an 1 hour loop of this
Tropical sad boy hours
the original is for falling in love while this one is for falling out of it
I don't think I've every reflexively cried the first time I heard a song until now.
If I could send music through time, I would add this song to my 'Emergency' mix tape for my fifth grade graduation.
I was moving from the school building my love interest went to.
Oofers thid song made me feel 100 times more lonely
essa música é tão linda e traz paz, ao mesmo tempo me da uma depressão e vontade de chorar.
My comfort song

ITS THIS KINDA SHIZ THAT BRINGS ME TO TEARS
Glad i was born to experience this :'))
Friend and me had a cry session over this one
Sweet :3
Listening to this at 1.25 speed is even more amazing!
SP7 took me back to this video
The fact that the season ended with this destroyed my heart
This is a song which you can sing to your romantic partner, or your kids.
it's......art
Those xylophones kill
I lost my whole e v e r y t h I n g when danielle nichole jonsten took my kids
I can’t funtion
"Well, you can't get what you want but you can get me" used to sound so sweet when he sang it but now it's all bitter because I know that I can't even get him anymore because he decided to leave.
2021.. Why isn’t music like this
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
im crying
