2D: It's weird I never knew there was a lake in the back room

2D: Noodle wot is for dinner

I can’t believe this is the same band that made Clint Eastwood. You guys have evolved so much ever since you’re first album.

I love this, she is so happy, its infectious, she makes me smile when she sings because she seams so full of joy when she sings, love you guys

2D: Just wanna do a shout out to Noodle

2D: bye

3:58 IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT HOW HE PULLS UP A FRENCH PHRASEBOOK IN THIS SHOT IM SCREAMING

this is sad because +it starts of with 2D saying "hey im" +desole literally means "im sorry" in french +murdoc writes the lyrics 😰

2D: i don't know how to turn this off

2D: Noodle told me not to shout as she’s right next to me

This music video is beautiful and very strange. I love how at 3:20 you have nice, happy trumpets while Murdoc is sobbing his eyes out on the couch.

this is the first i've ever heard of Fatoumata. she's incredible! her voice is so mature and absolutely carries this song. i love all of the Gorillaz collaborators, but she adds such an amazing vibe.

2D: Noodle can i go now as need to buy some socks

2D: Did anyone else see that pink plane made of marshmallow.

I JUST SAW THEM LIVE TOGETHER AND THAT WAS ACTUALLY AMAZING FATOUMATA WAS ABSOLUTELY ELECTRIC WHEN SHE SUNG! Gave me chills all over it was absolutely amazing I’m so glad I got to experience that! :D

I remember listening to this song nonstop when the pandemic lockdown began... It's really been a while huh 😭😭

2D: damn it's still on

2D: What am I supposed to be doing Noodle

I have really bad anxiety so I get overwhelmed a lot, but listening to this song really helps me calm down. Thank you Gorillaz, you guys are the reason I’m still here

the way 2d uses french phrasebook, while singing in french, is such a cute detail

2D: Got it now

2D: got it

I can't explain it fully, but something about the instrumentalism and the nature of this song FEELS like you're on a boat going down a river in a brisk wind on an overcast day. They nailed it.

Lyrics: Eh Eh ah Désolé, désolé contraband Désolé, I'm a long way from land Desolé, I don't know what to do Désolé, désolé, try to hold on to you Désolé Désolé, ko teriya mana diya Désolé, a kana ma lamè Désolé, désolé Désolé Désolé Désolé, a kana ma lamè Désolé, désolé compliqué Désolé, I don't know what to say anymore Désolé, while everyone on the move Désolé Désolé, I'm tryin' to hold on to you Désolé Désolé, ko teriya mana diya Désolé, a kana ma lamè Désolé, désolé Désolé Désolé, a kana ma lamè Désolé Désolé Désolé, désolé contrebande Désolé, c'est une long file d'attente Désolé, tous mes fantômes sont bleus Désolé Désolé, try to hold on to you Désolé, désolé Désolé (ah ahan) Désolé O diyalen O diyalen (ah ahan) Désolé, désolé Désolé (ahaan) Désolé Désolé (ahaan, hey, yehey) Désolé Désolé Désolé, désolé

2D: I think Noodle has gone

2D: then Russ said the carrots were to help the planet. his dream is to make all instruments eatable

Gorillaz NEEDS to be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame, their contribution to music is just outstanding. Not and overstatement by any means, when the time arrives, they need to be there, I truly believe they already reached that level some time ago.Blending so many genres and constantly churning out fresh material speaks volumes.I wish them their best through this journey called life, and I am happy we all get so share it in the present, even if for me just means connecting to the music they release.

3:40 my favorite part of the song

2D: i was also worried about those ducks swimming backwards. hope they are ok

2D: Alright this is 2D here saying things live from my head

Well, while everyone else is over analysing, I prefer to be happy with the little things, like the fact Blur’s Magic Whip album cover is hanging on the wall at 3:22 😍 This song would work perfectly on that album too.

Notice how 2d aint no scared plastic beach sailor anymore, now he s the captain .I m proud of him.(Also it could be an analogy for what s happening with murdoc not feeling in control of the band)

2D: I was worried about Russ cos he said he saw monsters, and was drumming with carrots.

2D: have a nice day

The Smile and positivity radiating from this woman for her having this experience is unmatched.. you can see she is grateful for every moment. Love this! Gorillaz legends!

Heya, I'm late to the party, I discovered the album only yesterday. I don't know if anyone has said this before, but "désolé" ("sorry" in English) also means desolate/deserted/ravaged in French. Which means that "désolé" applies to 2D and Murdoc in more ways than you might think. 2D is sorry that things ended the way they did, he's also devastated by the abusive relationship he had with the bassist, but it's Murdoc who is deserted, isolated.

2D: can anyone recommend me some good socks

2D: this is 2D saying goodbye to whoever I am talking to.

Can’t believe it’s been three years since this came out, this was definitely my favorite song from the song machine. Phase 6 was a great one. Crazy to think this came out right before the pandemic got bad haha.

I love how in this song, the bass is quieter than other of Gorillaz's songs. I can still hear it, but compared to a song like Feel good inc. or Clint Eastwood, it's more subtle, letting other instruments shine for once. And that for the most part, the bass is low compared to the song in general. It's doing it's own thing while the other instruments do theirs.

2D: dont worry about those ducks btw, ducks can go forward AND backwards.

2D: I waved at that big boat that went past but got blanked. Hate when that happens lol.

My step dad died by his own hand in April of last year and once I was crying at work and a car parked by me absolutely blaring this song. Now I can't think of anything else when I hear this song. "Desole While everyone on the move Trying hold on to you" :(

this song gives me the vibes of a cold day at the beach, where there is no sun at the sky but clouds, yet none of them will make it rain.

2D: in that book I was trying to learn French for ‘can we stop I really need the loo' as forgot to go before we left Kong. That was where the line ‘Trying to hold on to you’ was inspired.

Be here at 1600 GMT for a chat with 2D & Noodle after the video premieres ⏰

Hearing her say Désole is like a angel in my ears

She is absolutely stunning!!!🥰

こんにちは ♥️ it's Noodle ... like this comment if you play guitar with gloves on too 🧤✚ 🎸

2D: bit of a shame the weather was rubbish that day as had my speedos on under ready for a swim. But wot can you do.

Weirdly melancholy and nostalgic but in a way also euphoric. Maybe its just best to describe this song as incredible. So good

Just got to see Fatouamata Diawara live in Vancouver, BC recently; her joie d’vivre comes out in full glory in-person. What a soul!

Comments: 50% - about the song 40% - theories 10% - 2D's comments

2D: Lovely day on the lake :) Us: Murdoc is crying 2D: This ain't about him

Listening to this song here in Como Lake (Italy) hits different, feeling part of it

Thank you gorillaz for making me discover fatoumata!! Her voice is amazing and I love the way she sings, it’s very non-western and different. As a middle eastern I had blast listening to her such a talent!!

Murdoc: Cryin' Everyone Else: Vibin' Giant Menacing Shadows: Loomin'

Murdoc: Is depressed 2D: "First time"?

3 years have gone by, and I still love this song, it was the beginning of COVID and I was scared and in my apartment, struggling with the weight of the world, and this made me feel heard

my march 2020 soundtrack crazy how time goes fast

So for everyone who hasn't seen it yet: Murdoc said on twitter that he wasn't actually crying, it was acting. In order to act like he was crying, he thought of all the horrible things that he did do his friends and how ashamed he is of himself So, he basically acted like he was crying but he actually cried.

I like how everyone is talking about Murdoch being sad and not the huge monsters in the sky

The lyrics are adorable. Even cuter in Damon’s smooth voice(or 2D if you prefer). And the collaberator’s accent and voice is such a beautiful add. They really branch out to every song they make. We know it’s made with love. PS: 2D’s French dictionary is the cutest add ever. PSx2:Russel looks so cute 😭

Man diawara is so good in this, really glad gorrilaz managed to get her, haven't heard of her before this but im really glad I got the chance to listen to her in this, also she looked great in this too! Her clothes are so vibrant and her joy really adds to the boat riding scenes.

The song: Désolé Murdoc: Depressolé

Murdoc: Crying 2D: Smiling Me: Confused

Fatoumata Diawara looks and sounds so beautiful

This song came out during the worst break up of my life. It gives me nostalgia and love

Murdoc is crying because he listened to the Kidz Bop version of Feel Good Inc.

2D: Singing Noodle: Strumming Russel: Drumming Murdoc: Crying Monsters in the sky: *Vibing*

3:57 hahaha the French phrasebook

Fatoumata one love! 😍

2D is now an adorable French captain Noodle has monster hands and a kick ass guitar Russel likes carrots And Murdoc is depressed

2-D: Vibing Noodles: Noodling Russell: Actually appears for more than 1 second Murdoc: *D E P R E S S I O N*

I know it's a bit too late but this song always tugs at me, reminds me of late July, 6:34 in the morning. I hadn't slept after watching blade runner with my boyfriend. He was on a plane traveling to meet me irl for the first time. And I was just showering with the all the doors open, cold morning air flowing though my house, sleep refusing to take me cause of excitement and stomach sick from butterflies. God i miss that feeling.

4 years?? Wow

Russ: I got carrots Noodle: I got monster hands 2-D: I got a hat Murdoc: I got depression

I understand why Murdocs sad, and it was more than just the boat trip. The song and visuals represent the band not needing Murdoc to be with them anymore. Murdoc is realizing this and hides in his box Murdoc centered his whole life around this band, he has no other interests, (a good) family, or friendships outside of it He literally sold his soul for these people, but then they realize they didn’t need him to begin with. He has nothing left and that’s what’s sad.

I absolutely love the small world building they just snuck in with all the giant ominous creatures in the background while everyone's just chillin like its normal

This has to be the most interesting gorillaz song. It’s like the vibes of all of their previous albums combined

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’m trying to hold on to you.” .... its like murdoc is feeling left behind and wants to feel needed but while he was gone the others moved on, even 2d is happier now. He’s the only one at the house looking for them and ends up breaking down when he’s alone. Are we getting character development?? i hope so

Making us feel bad for the character who was mostly hated for his attitude is what's called a pro move

Saw them in concert in ATL a few days ago & they performed this song 💚💚 I love the Gorillaz

Loved you guys since I was 12. Now I’m 33 and my 6 yr old comes in my room and goes …. “Mom this is my favorite band” ❤️❤️❤️

When you take a nap, but everyone already left to get dinner, so you're just wandering around the house trying to figure out where everyone went and what year it is, but you give up an go back to sleep

So many theories about Murdoc, but IMO its as simple as: No one likes to be left behind or forgotten.

I love this song

This has to be my favorite Gorillaz song. So good!

Theory: Murdoc is crying because he realizes the band doesn't need him to make music. I wouldn't really connect heavily to 2d. Everyone says that, but it's probably more with the fact that he controlled most of the band and its decisions (when it came to music at the least) at almost everytime. Even when he was in jail--Ace was a good friend and he told him to. Now he feels as if they don't need him and honestly a deeper thought without the band he's nothing.

Everybody: •Talking about Murdoc• Giant monsters in the sky: Am I joke to you ?

Got to see Gorillaz and Fatoumata perform this live in Brooklyn NY.. experience of a lifetime. GORILLAZ I LOVE YOU!! 😢❤️❤️

This might be my favorite Gorillaz song. I love it.

So my friend found out why possibly murdoc was crying: Everyone probably thinks this is what happened but like When Murdoc woke up, everyone was already heading outside. Boyo walked downstairs and when he creeped into the hall, the door was closing. This is because 2D was going downstairs. 2D then went outside, and Murdoc was downstairs just as soon as the door was closing. The green boyo looked over just to realize he was hearing music. In the video it shows him leaning against the door to listen and he hears the band playing without him. This is what gets the him. The guy pretty much made the band and now they're going off making music without him. It upsets him and he may start to believe that the band doesn't want him or he feels that he's not needed and the band can manage without him. After all, he was gone for the entire album The Now Now since he was in jail, and they managed fine with a replacement. So this is what pushes him to the edge and he starts to cry but shortly after closes himself back out from the world by going back in the case)

All the band members are wearing something murdoc themed; 2D- Captain hat, Noodle- green gloves with long nails, russel- eye patch/ demon from old album on drum kit. I think that everyone is pretty spot on with thinking that murdoc believes that the band could easily ditch him and succeed (hence the crying). Real sad stuff tho. I hope they comfort him in the future since he is getting sober and trying to be nicer.

The little decorative piano in the background is so heavenly

This song helped me so much in one of the worst moments of my life: thank you

love how we're all here a whole day before it premiers just vibing.

Mad respect to Russel who's playing drums with two carrots.

Whoaaaaa I'm so mind-blown because I love the Gorillaz since I was in like Middle School like late elementary school and I just found this beautiful woman like this year (Or within the last 3) and I appreciate her a lot and I appreciate that they made music together. She be playing the mess out of her guitar like fr

2 years and this song still a banger!!
