@@demondrummingonyourcasket1095 Most of Plastic Beaches songs I didn't enjoy the first time I heard them, it took a few listens to get into them. That seems to be how most Gorillaz songs go, and it certainly is the same for their newer stuff as well, which after a few listens I quite enjoy. It's probably been so long that you've forgotten your first listens of their older stuff where you didn't really get them yet, and you probably don't consistently listen to the songs on those albums you don't care for.

I feel this is 2-D speaking directly to the fandom. The fans help cheer him up, but he's reminding them that he's just a cartoon; don't be sad for him, and don't take whatever happens in the lore so seriously. I'll probably be crucified for saying that, at least on Twitter, but it's the only other interpretation that makes sense to me beyond the Amazon robot one that Damon talked about.

This song really hits home for me. My Dad passed away last year and the last time I had talked to him I introduced him to Gorillaz and he loved their songs. I heard this song for the first time at the Gorillaz concert in Dallas and cried when I heard the words, “Don’t be sad for me.” “And my intent is to breathe in a new world.” In a way it feels like a farewell from my Dad.

Gorillaz haven't quite hit Plastic Beach levels for me since that record came out, but this is certainly heading in the right direction. I will always maintain that Damon is at his best when he isn't collaborating with anybody.

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Agreed. He is so powerful and raw on his own, that the collaborations kind of dilute him a lot. It just got to be too much on “Humanz”, IMO. You never rob your frontman of his power. And I agree that Plastic Beach is a masterpiece. The collabs didn’t overwhelm him there.

This has some punk roots and all the Gorillaz style anyone could ever come to know and love. Damon is a fantastic producer. Love this song.

[@angelcamacho2752]

I have been depressed for months but this song put me back on my feet thank you you are the best rock band since 1997

[@laco403]

This is my favorite on the new album. Tarantula and Silent Running are close seconds... But something about this feels almost surreal. I love the vibe, it's amazing. I could hear it on repeat for hours and not get bored.

[@lukerussell3782]

God. How does gorillaz make such heartbreakingly beautiful songs

[@stephenolson5094]

Cracker Island seems like it's going to be a huge mix of all different Gorillaz styles - This song really makes me feel like it's a long lost brother of The Fall album.

[@egg_404]

YESSSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS RELEASE SINCE I HEARD IT LIVE. IT'S SO GOOOOD

[@stickah]

*Woah, can't believe it's been a year, remember coming back from school to listen to it sometimes even repeating it like 3 times while making my bed, ahhh, good "old" times, how can this feel nostalgic already?* *SKINNY LITTLE SKINNY LITTLE AYEP AYEP AYEP AYEP* 🔥😭

[@chaoticfizzy]

This song talks about how 2D fell around his fans Some feel bad for him, including me. It’s that he is just letting his fans know his feelings and it just makes me tear up for sum reason. Ok but we don’t deserve such good characters, I LOVE 2D AND I ALWAYS WILL

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Well said. It’s kind of sad but also very hopeful. It’s as introspective as we’ve ever seen Damon.

[@StarSongs1]

Are you kidding...I've been waiting for this song to drop since I heard it at their North American Tour in September. I'M CRYING!!!! SO GREAT!!!! 🥳💜🦍

[@ako438]

Ni siquiera eh escuchado esto y ya se que lo amaré

[@melspy]

took my eleven year old son to his first concert and saw Gorillaz in Seattle... it was an unforgettable night!

[@ejicon3099]

Sounds like something inspired by "Everyday Robots." Very chill. Almost too chill but I like it. I'll take anything new from the Gorillaz.

[@OogaBooga_-qf7gg]

I have already seen the unreleased song before skinny ape even came out and I was just listening to that song all the time, I saw the day it was getting dropped and I made a reminder of when it dropped, and here I am now I can finally listen to this song without the actual video. @opium

[@nolemretaw4081]

the vocals are so lovely in this!!! my favorite song of the new album for sure ❤️❤️❤️

[@guilleortiz5455]

Holy cow, this isn't even three weeks old, but I think it's become my favourite Gorillaz song after years and years and years and years and years of listening to the band.

Lyrics below. [Verse 1: 2-D] To the pool at least try to let it go But nobody knows what they're fooling with here There will be time and there will be a sign When all the kids who have cancelled time Will take my hands and pull me up again Cheer me up and help me walk again (walk again) To the pool at least try to let it go But nobody knows what they're fooling with here I got bones, and I got jaded legs Not the type that can win a race Living plastic on a vacant lot Left behind and staring at a robot [Chorus: 2-D] Don't be sad for me I'm a cartoon G And my intent is to breathe in a new world Don't be sad for me [Verse 2: 2-D] I can balance on the highest tree You can only see outlines of me I can disappear, or lighten your day In this tainted stage I'm a skinny little ape [Chorus: 2-D] Don't be sad for me (I'm a skinny little ape) I'm a cartoon G (I'm a cartoon G) And my intent is to breathe in a new world Don't be sad for me [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus: 2-D] Don't be sad for me (Where is Hell? Thinking 'bout it [?]) I'm a cartoon G ([?], [staring at street?]) And my intent is to breathe in a new world Don't be sad for me [Bridge: 2-D] I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape I'm a skinny little, skinny little, skinny little, skinny little ape Ape ape ape ape ape ape ape [Outro: 2-D] (But nobody knows what they're fooling with) Don't be sad for me

[@skyleruballe2265]

I know Damon has been working with synths for years and is a master but holy moly I am always impressed by how catchy and thoughtful the synthetic are

[@gypsycrow3917]

Been listening since 2001. The sounds have kept up with me or maybe I with them, I have been growing up with these sounds and shall continue to do so until the day I go down. For reference, technically Noodle and I are the same age.

[@samoaowenspascal7360]

I love this song it's literally a roller coaster

[@LEE-hw3sx]

This reminds me of the fall kinda, it just gives nostalgic vibes

[@luzonluna]

Alguien mas siente que el ritmo es como muy nostalgico, como el de una despedida? :( pero bellisimo, eso si🖤🖤🖤

[@LuisGomez-pn7sh]

Pues Damon estará bastante activo con Blur o eso parece Quizá Gorillaz por fin tome un descanso, llevan desde 2017 sacando música casi todos los años

[@apologeticghoul6084]

Heard this song for the first time back in October at the Toronto concert (my first ever concert) with my brother. This song means so much to me, as they somehow managed to capture what it feels like to think about all the love and support my closest friends and family have given me while helping me through depression. The beginning of the song feels like when I'm in a depressive pit, but the end feels like when I look back on all the great memories I have with those people, and the gratitude I have for them. This song instantly became special to me, and I will always think about the love I hold for my supporters, especially my brother, as he's always been my best and closest friend, and I'm so happy that we share the memory of going to see Gorillaz for the first time

[@PrimalTheYeen]

I got to hear this live when they came to Toronto and omg hearing this again gives me such happiness 🥰🥰 This song feels like I'm able to let go of anything and just vibe despite whatever is happening

every single has been a song that could have it's own album. this album is gonna be so fire.

[@jimmyc4852]

This is by far my favorite song from this album. Also the best album, I would say for myself. I've been listening to the Gorillaz since they started.

[@Lolbama2012]

Gorillas out here pumping out banger after banger since 1998. I'm amazed how every album can sound completely different while never not feeling like you're listening to Gorillaz. Not too many groups could shift styles that much and still feel consistent.

[@kubokubovski1183]

Going through depression biggest one of my life separated with the love of my life trying to get her back showing her my love and etc. Try gorillaz for the songs those are just mind-blowing ty also to the people in the comments it's really great to se so positive people when you read this know you made ,a man's day better.

[@6Pc.ChickenMcnobody]

The other singles from Cracker Island have been good to very good. Finally... we get the first truly great track. This is instant earworm material, the likes I haven't heard from Albarn and Co. since Superfast Jellyfish. LOVE it ❤️

[@lux8958]

So far these Gorillaz jams been nothing but straight vibes! Can't wait to hear most these played live!

[@twochordcool]

Saw it played live on the stage rail dead center in Philadelphia....Damon was incredible!

[@creoloko]

After listening the entire album, this is definitely my favorite track. I absolutely adore the melody and lyrics, for a moment it reminded me of “you, me, dancing” by Los Campesinos.

[@niksolu]

This might be the best album from them yet. Since yet every song was a banger

[@genericidiotll]

I saw this song live in concert back in October of 2022, Damon, Jamie yall are amazing PRAISE THE HOLY PICKLE MAN

[@skyleruballe2265]

Dear Damon Albarn and all the Gorillaz: you'll never know how many times you've saved my life with your fun and whimsical music. Been a fan since I was 5 and had depression almost as long, but your music always seems to come out right when I need it, when I. at my lowest. I have cried and laughed to so many songs often in the same song! You literally saved my life. Still making me laugh and cry to this day. Thank you
