Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill (Live on Letterman)

[@ThisIsReadyMade]

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.

[@destree6348]

ThisIs ReadyMade I listened last night cause I was so frustrated with my life, and automatically fell into the Gorillaz trance. It felt amazing

[@davewalker3873]

Disagree, some incredible skill on show here. Precise playing. I dont k ow another band on earth thst could replicate this.

[@dylanfoster7883]

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

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 On Melancholy Hill lyrics © Sony/ATV

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.

[@analuciaflores666]

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...😊

[@TEJR69]

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

[@roguishpaladin]

@@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.
