    Verse 1: 2-D]
    Oh, joys arise
    The sun has come again to hold you
    Sailing out the doldrums of the week
    The polyphonic prayer is here, it's all around you
    It's all around you, out here
    [Bridge: 2-D]
    And if the whole world is crashing down (on you)
    Fall through space out of mind with me
    [Verse 2: 2-D]
    Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
    Blows all the shadows far away
    The falling of the whole empire, is here to hold you
    Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps
    [Hook: Yukimi Nagano]
    Little memories, marching on
    Your little feet, working the machines
    Say will it spin, will it soar
    My little dream, working the machine
    Soon like a wave
    Empires will fall
    And closing in on you
    They're going on
    Little memories
    Your little feet, working the machines
    Say will it spin, will it soar
    My little dream, working the machine
    Soon like a wave
    Empires will fall
    Closing in on you
    They're going on

    I visited Hong Kong two years ago and I remember listening to this on the bus that goes up Victoria's Peak and just feeling it was the perfect soundtrack for that moment, with the view of the city full of buildings and skyscrapers. It just made me feel so small and lost in that sea of people and neon.

    There's nothing quite like this right? I love Gorillaz, every song tells it's story, but this... This is just something that no words could ever describe how perfect it is. This song will be the closest thing we will ever get to perfection. From the second that it starts to the last, I just vanish from the world, and all my problems and thoughts become meaningless. I guess what I'm trying to say is that... This is a masterpiece. Forever, my favorite song.

    Oh joy's arise
    The sun has come again to hold you
    Sailing out the doldrums of the whole week
    The polyphonic prairies here, it's all around you
    It's 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
    Blows all the shadows far away
    The falling alcohol empire, is here to hold you
    Rolling out and haunted 'til it sleeps
    Little memories, marching on
    Your little feet, working the machine
    Will it spin, will it soar
    My little dream, working the machine
    Soon like a wave that pass will fall
    And closing in on you they're going on
    Little memories
    Your little feet, working the machine
    Will it spin, will it soar
    My little dream, working the machine
    Soon like a wave that pass will fall
    And closing in on you they're going on
    shotouts from Argentina..

    Your little feet, working the machine
    Say will it spin, will it soar?
    My little dream, working the machine
    Soon, like a wave, empires will fall
    And closing in on you, they're going on
    Little memories

    "Empires will fall"
    It always hurts to hear. I never thought the "empire " i had would ever disappear, i was too in-the-moment to care. And when it did fall it was slow at first then it left in a chaotic boom. Gone when i needed it the most. I thought it would stay forever, never realizing i was growing older and out of it each day, but even when i saw the signs i convinced myself everything was fine. I thought i was immune to change, but time made me say "I've had enough, thank you" to the only comfort i had, and i want to ask God why.
    Basically every moment you experience is lost to history. Gone, only a memory, no going back. Remember this while you are at your highs, and maybe lows as well. Nothing is forever. I'm gonna go and reminisce on my own in the corner now.

      @Sandro i lost. It wasn't one particular thing but a mix. My mindset, the ppl i knew, the things i was doing all completely changed. Like living was just different.
      Back then i had a net or an escape for anytime i felt down, but now it's all gone and it feels like hell.
      Best metaphor i can give would be like strolling through the remains of a long gone civilisation. Going through the metaphorical 'streets' knowing how alive and exciting the place used to be. Like a truly great place that once was. But now it's just ruins and i'm trying to rebuild and reach that level of greatness again but i'm frustrated i'm cos i'm not getting anywhere and a lot of other things are starting to eat at my soul as well now

    Today I realise this is my favorite song ever. I always love this song with my soul, but I thought that one day it was going to lose it's magic. Today I listened after a long time without listen and it feels the same way as always. I feel it's intensity all over my body, everytime my eyes fills with humble tears, is kind of painful and holy at the same time, and that moment when the first part ends and the second one comes in a crescendo, fuck, I have to stop anything that I am doing to live that moment with all my senses. Thank you, Gorillaz and Little Dragon, for this heavenly therapy.

      Iván Burgos I have always loved that gorillaz fans (Which I have been a fan for a long time) have the same mutual like for Daft Punk (Who I also love) just proves that awesome people have the best taste in music ;)

    Amo a esta banda y en especial a "Plastic Beach",fue el primer álbum que tuve en físico y es mi disco favorito a día de hoy, cada canción es hermosa a su manera y te transmiten distintas sentimientos y está canción fue la primera que me hizo llorar, amo a gorillaz y sin duda uno de los grupos de músicas más conocidos, y a la vez, uno de los más infravalorados

    Las mejores canciones de Gorillaz son cuando hay una tristeza en el ambiente. (En mi opinion)
    The best songs of Gorillaz are when theres a melancoly in the air. (In my oppinion)
