Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill (Live on AOL Sessions)

[@gaz66chris]

The sound guys deserve a medal on this one. They did a great job. The mix is perfect.

[@HITHEREWINSTON]

I know I'm replying to a 6 year old comment, but it isn't perfect. There is far too much hard left/right panning, and the snare drum overpowers the kick.

[@seltonk5136]

@@HITHEREWINSTON it's exactly as albarn wants it. He's a nut about those knobs, trust me

[@mattblackwell2985]

Absolutely

[@ShereRho]

@@HITHEREWINSTON It's actually really annoying on good monitor headphones. Frustrating because it sounds great on cheaper stuff. There's a distracting void in the right can anytime the bass cuts out.

I love Damon’s voice so much. Especially when he sings On Melancholy Hill. It’s a song that gives me nostalgia but also makes me feel like there’s nothing bad going on anymore. It’s a really nice feeling

[@PeterNa78]

Lyrics: Up on melancholy hill There's a plastic tree Are you here with me? Just looking out on the day of another dream Where you can't get what you want But you can get me So let's set up and see, 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 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

[@Ashfer2]

Have you ever heard the song "Song 2". Damon sings that too, and is also 2D's singing voice and mostly writes all the songs/music for Gorillaz. He is also the singer in Blur, that is their most popular song in the US I believe. Their music is a bit different than Gorillaz lol I was in the same boat though. I knew Feel Good Inc. and Dare but never looked up who made it and just became obsessed last year lol
