Gorillaz/Gruff Rhys/De La Soul - Superfast Jellyfish.

This pretty much embodies the Gorillaz’s sound.

City’s breaking down on a camel’s back,
They just have to go ‘cause they don’t know wack.
So all you fill the streets, it’s appealing to see,
You wont get out the county, ‘cos you’re bad and free.
You’ve got a new horizon It’s ephemeral style,
A melancholy town where we never smile.
& all I wanna hear is the message beep,
My dreams, they’ve got to kiss, because I don’t get sleep, no.

Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.

Definitely one of my favourite songs. It’s poetic.

---

I don’t think I dislike a single song by Gorillaz. They’re unlike any other band in the way they combine genres & it works every time.

---

I proper love the work of Jamie Hewlett.

Melancholy hill

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 up and see.
‘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,
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,
A manatee?
Just looking out on the day,
When you’re close to me,
When you’re close to me.

When you’re close to me.

I don’t miss having someone to be close to, because I’ve never really had anyone like that.

Gorillaz - Crystallised [The xx cover].

Beautiful.

Gorillaz/Little Dragon - Empire Ants.

Oh joy’s arise,
The sun has come again to hold you.
Sailing out the doldrums of the moving.
The polyphonic prayer is here, it’s all around you.
Its all around you, out here.

And if the whole world is crashing down,
Fall through space out of mind again.
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising,
Lose all the shadows far away.

Only just realised what a gem this song is. Listen to it all the way through, it changes loads half way through.

Gorillaz - On Melancholy Hill.

Doing a series of these on my favourite albums. Yesterday’s was Stadium Arcadium.

---

Yes, they have just combined two of my favourite things. Awesome as. If anyone is wondering what to get me for a Christmas present, look no further.

Falling out of aeroplanes & hiding out in holes,
Waiting for the sunset to come, people going home.
Jump out from behind them & shoot them in the head,
now everybody dancing the dance of the dead,
The dance of the dead,
The dance of the dead.

Gorillaz - Fire Coming Out Of The Monkey’s Head.

---

One of my favourite songs ever.

I currently have Doncamatic stuck in my head, from the pre-release version of Plastic Beach.
