I like Damon Albarn because he's always eager to move on to something that's not necessarily like the last thing he did. He doesn't sit on his laurels.

Yes and very justified! I hope he goes even bigger for song machine season 2

[@vladimirimp]

I agree with your first point entirely but I think you're mistaken that people didn't realise Damon was behind Gorillaz; it was a big story when the band was born that Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewitt lived together, came up with the idea of a cartoon band and made it happen. I don't think it takes away from the success; in fact I think it enhances it, because in the late 90s we were tired of Britpop and Damon could have been seen as baggage.

[@andypandytangerine3044]

Gorillaz are top notch, and then add in 2 members of the Clash......music heaven right there

[@sherbertdip6924]

If Strummer was still around he would of probably popped in as well. Ah well......a nice dream. 🙌

he should let them play london calling (and more of the clash catalog) with Green Day and do a tour of like 100 cities in a year..plus be there to see the unfolding....I would pay glastonbury prices to see this.

There's not many people that sound British when they sing. And this guy sounds 100% British when he sings. It's unmistakable.

[@andrewtucker94]

British isn't really one accent. Damon Albarn is mainly Estuary English :)

I was sitting in the airport moving from New York due to things getting so bad post 2020, never thought of doing that let alone so soon, u gain a complex love relationship with the city & it's ppl for anyone who has lived there, I sat relatively numb to the whole situation in the airport.. until this song started playing in the loudspeaker, I love gorillaz soo much so there's that added to the situation, I sat there letting the tears roll down my face, i wanted to hide from the emotions & situation that just hit me so suddenly, didn't want anyone to notice so I didn't give in to whipping my face so ppl wouldn't look over at me, felt surreal sad yet positively beautiful, but after that day this song has a special little string in my heart

[@chrisjames6327]

Such a beautiful song. I remember in the late 1990s I was at school, and I read an article in the NME that said that Damon Alburn was thinking about moving into electronica. I told my friends and they just couldn’t conceive it, because back then it was totally inconceivable for indie/guitar musicians to play electronic music. Then Radiohead released Kid A, then a year later the first Gorillaz album followed - and then suddenly the crossover was mainstream

[@Maxianaconda]

[@wierd_fishez]

I was never into Gorillaz seven years ago. I was a college freshman, and it was only through the guy I fell infatuated with that I got into their music. That guy did a cover of this song and I still remember very vividly how I got so obsessed over this. Melancholy Hill will always be special to me, even if I'm no longer 'involved' with that guy. Listening to this still warms my heart.

[@eepy_akiiioo]

This song used to make me sad, but now after listening to it a couple of time it's makes me happy but a little sad because it's makes me realize that without being around my girlfriend I'm really nothing without being around her because she makes me calm whenever I'm around her and she's like my medicine when she is close to me, she always makes my day better just by her smiling at me :).
