YESSSSS IT was quite the moment. I saw the Gorillaz with opening act The Internet at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. I went by myself cause the people i know always say "who?" "never heard of them" .... i sat next to a man and his young son, and two younger ladies on the other side, I think I even shed a few tears ..... WE HAD THE BEST FREAKING TIME!! I danced and sang the entire night, I am 58 years old.. Yes, it was MAGICAL with all the lights everywhere. I kick myself everytime for not going to Demon Days Festival last year...
2:21 I adore this part its just absolutely perfect Sometimes, I follow a firefly It takes me into the night Baby, I just survive I got drunk, I'm sorry Am I losing you? Sometimes, I follow a firefly It takes me into the night Baby, I just survive I got drunk, I'm sorry Am I losing you? Beautiful
the more i listen to this song, the more depressing it gets. the story in the song appears to be about following a relationship that is drifting away, but you keep on going because of the embers of good in it - the fireflies...but you can only see them in the dark. and the 6/4 time signature also is cyclical and goes in the pattern, where the first verse ascends, then falls again. in the chorus is ascends higher and higher then tumbles down again. kind of reflecting how emotionally draining the relationship is because when it's high it's high but when it's low it is LOW.
@@todorvladorovic1409 i dunno if you were insulting me or not, but yes, a lot of gorillaz's songs are actually about drugs. if you meant in general, you're right about that, too.
@@gasstationgraffiti IHaha man ...i was sarcastic ....but i don't want to insult you or wish you any harm :D ....take my different opinion as a joke with light heart ..... I dont think every song we dont get is about drugs.... Im sure Albarn had some love problems in his life as well ....Why it wouldn't be about that straight and forward !
Yeah, i would like to see an animation instead of a visualizer, but I'm not throwing too big of a fit, bc I know animation is painstaking.. but it would be super dope if every song had a music video like Humility had
it might be, certainly a contender to the top. I just started trying to get into the lyrics and its pretty deep too. Was having a hard time understanding what he was saying.
Maybe is just me, but this album feel more mature, like Albarn and Hewlett have been experimenting for a long time, and this time they decided to deal with their nostalgia and age (they're both 50 now). This album reminds me of the songs we had back in the late 80's and 90's. In fact, it brought me a wave of nostalgia (specially this one) when I listened it for the first time. It's like meeting a new friend you have known for your entire life. It's weird, and I can't stop listening it.

This line is the defining line of the whole song for me. I see it as if albarn is going into another dimension (says goodbye to reality) but unfortunately, you can't allow yourself to trip too much since life's responsibility, your loved ones, your entourage will notice and will try to get a hold of you ( the sentinels). This entourage is trying to resolve that issue and so "switch him off" of drugs. Basically this songs to me represents Albarns drug use and how he loves to drift away from reality and follow whatever feeling he is consumed with (the fireflies). However, it feels like he is abusing (getting drunk or dopesick) and then he realizes that he is neglecting his real life and relationships. Hence " I got drunk, im sorry, Am I loosing you?"

Its amazing how they don't get burnt out making all this music like other artist eventually do. They've been active for 20 years!! That's crazy asff. That's how you know this band loves what they do.

This is a different kind of deep... This song is like that feeling you get when you open the fridge five different times in 30 minutes, and it's empty each time. 😢
Or when you go home to your family but remember you live alone in an endless nightmare of what was once your own conscience but then start falling apart into the depression of the century uwu but hey that's just an example
Fire Flies is the greatest song i've listened to this year. This changing time signature is hypnotizing. I can just lie in bed and listen to it all night and somehow I have tears in my eyes.
I'm sorry to say this but this song moves me so much it's stupid and I have cried to this song many times because of how much it moves me. I feel stupid for saying this but my father was never the best. Almost exactly like murdoc. This song is amazing. It's beautiful. The Gorillaz. Damon. Jamie. Everyone behind this song is amazing and it makes me cry a real person could make such a beautiful song. Sorry for ranting this song is just so beautiful
its not stupid at all of you to say this, i cried a lot to this too this song is a gift and i think the fact it made you so emotional is just a tribute to how good it is i hope you were able or are able to heal and that you feel better

Whenever I hear this song, I always think of Murdoc sitting alone in a jail cell, starring at a wall, the song being his inner thoughts... AND THAT MAKES ME CRY FOR REAL!!! 😭😭😭😭
yk I used to hate Murdoch until I realized how much pain he was in he's self destructing piece by piece, and taking the band with him, it's a scary thought actually 😬
It normally takes a 2nd listen for me to realize how much I love a Gorillaz song. It' been this ways since I found them. This is proabably the first time I've ever liked a Gorillaz song on the first listen.
11 million views and this video was posted 2 years ago and I’m just now hearing of this song even tho I’ve heard of gorillaz ever since 2012 ... beautiful song thank you 2D💙
Amazing!! Is it just me or every song from the album has been fantastic so far? Even the live ones are wonderful, Gorillaz are really outplaying themselves this time.
I think these are the lyrics. could be wrong.

There is something powerful about Gorillaz.. Even tho i don't like every single song of theirs, they give me inspiration to do what i want. And it shows that music doesn't have to be the same. Cool stuff.
This song means the world to me. Reminds me of my dog May. We've been together since both of us were newborns. in 2018 she was already very old, and got ill. I would sing this to her when she wouldnt eat. Many nights i would sit by her side and sing this while patting her and sobbing. Thanks, gorillaz, for letting me immortalize her in this song.
So what i dont get is that people say they want old Gorillaz back and my response is WHAT DID OLD GORILLAZ ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE????? And Gorillaz change their sound each time and that is the whole point of this band.
I like that Gorillaz has such an eclectic sound. My favorites do happen to be older though, absolutely love Demon Days album in its entirety. Plus of course songs like Clint Eastwood
Alright, every songs that have been released are either good or amazing (Magic City and Souk Eye are gems) and this one is no goddamn exception holy hell
This visualizer reminds me of when Remmy from Ratitouille or whatever ate the cheese and grape together.

@@AndresRodriguez-fs1pt idk why you would ask a dance with him/her/it but it's just that I didn't expect to find that comment unless it was to put in a context of a romantic dance with Fireflies playing in the background, multiple lights spinning and piercing through the dark of the room filled with people but even then, you still feel that there's only you and him/her/it, that kind of atmosphere or an honest question on literally dancing with him/her/it.

Lit up the world with visuals
Lol
Beat me to it.

Its amazing how they don't get burnt out making all this music like other artist eventually do. They've been active for 20 years!! That's crazy asff. That's how you know this band loves what they do.
It's true, but they've also had multiple year long breaks.
Theres actually quite a dark side to this. Addictions and stuff and they took quite a long break before

Comment for topp
It's Lovedrunk, not got drunk, so we think
Gorillaz and Dota 2 It's clearly "got drunk".
GaiaMoordenaar Sentinels and hunting? X men?
Wow! Ace knows how to manage that bass!
A Damianoff Damn right
straight up
BAce
This, Tranz, and Souk Eye are easily the best songs in the album.
Totally agree
And humility!
I agree. One percent is also a really solid choice
Idaho unironically makes me think of idaho even when I didnt know the title for the song. Not as good as the others but a decent song
Want to add, that here the bass is way better than Murdoc's solos... We can love him but must sat truth - Ace is better bassist anyway )))
This is a different kind of deep... This song is like that feeling you get when you open the fridge five different times in 30 minutes, and it's empty each time. 😢
Attention~for me, there is some food. But I have to actually prepare and cook that shit. It's very annoying
Lmao same... I feel your pain
Or when you go home to your family but remember you live alone in an endless nightmare of what was once your own conscience but then start falling apart into the depression of the century uwu
but hey
that's just an example

Fire Flies is the greatest song i've listened to this year. This changing time signature is hypnotizing. I can just lie in bed and listen to it all night and somehow I have tears in my eyes.
The Bass is not from this world,is outstanding!
That's Ace for you ahahahaha

I'm sorry to say this but this song moves me so much it's stupid and I have cried to this song many times because of how much it moves me. I feel stupid for saying this but my father was never the best. Almost exactly like murdoc. This song is amazing. It's beautiful. The Gorillaz. Damon. Jamie. Everyone behind this song is amazing and it makes me cry a real person could make such a beautiful song. Sorry for ranting this song is just so beautiful
I feel the exact same way about Souk Eye, and I have mum issues, so you’re not alone. Their songs save lives I’m sure
its not stupid at all of you to say this, i cried a lot to this too
this song is a gift and i think the fact it made you so emotional is just a tribute to how good it is
i hope you were able or are able to heal and that you feel better

Yessss, I'm happy

It’s fine for what it is but I miss their actual music videos

It puts off a kind of mood, like you were being abused, and you hit back, but he never woke up again
I can fall asleep to this new beat and lyrics

But nobody will take the special box that Murdoc have in my heart.

yk I used to hate Murdoch until I realized how much pain he was in he's self destructing piece by piece, and taking the band with him, it's a scary thought actually 😬
Staring
@@someonebutnotyou636 I can’t tell whether (character storywise) it’s in 2D’s perspective or Murdoc’s. What do y’all think? Either way it’s sad
This is quite possibly my favorite Gorillaz song ever. Seriously.
My favorite was rhinestone eyes but boy this track blew me away like holy fuck
Rhinestone eyes was actually my favorite song before, but this one makes me feel so much more.
Did you get a chance to listen to many of there other songs?
Its really fckng good, but nothing surpasses Empire Ants
Oh yeah of course. Gorillaz is my favorite band. I've listened to all their songs

No offense

There is something powerful about Gorillaz.. Even tho i don't like every single song of theirs, they give me inspiration to do what i want.
And it shows that music doesn't have to be the same. Cool stuff.
Lost Marimo music is the same 😪
This song makes me feel a sort of emotion I can't explain...
You boii chillin.
Everyone seems very used to Ace being currently being part of the group, I wonder how they’re gonna feel once Murdoc gets out of jail.
NutellaTheDonut ! Sad. 2D is so happy without having to deal with Murdoc’s abuse.
It won't really matter imo. There hasn't been much content story-wise since humanz.
ill be pissed
Who cares about that. Music is all that matters
Murdoc is god
Gorillaz is love,
Gorillaz is life.
Gorillaz is fireflies

This song means the world to me. Reminds me of my dog May. We've been together since both of us were newborns. in 2018 she was already very old, and got ill. I would sing this to her when she wouldnt eat. Many nights i would sit by her side and sing this while patting her and sobbing.
Thanks, gorillaz, for letting me immortalize her in this song.
So what i dont get is that people say they want old Gorillaz back and my response is WHAT DID OLD GORILLAZ ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE????? And Gorillaz change their sound each time and that is the whole point of this band.
No, Humanz was just mediocre compared to everything else Damon has been in. I like Leisure more than Humanz tbh
Listen to dirty harry, Clint Eastwood. Melancholy hill, feel good inc, those were the good old days. That was the best gorrilaz
Yeah best songs
I personally think it was either "The Fall" or "Plastic Beach" that was there best albums
I like that Gorillaz has such an eclectic sound.
My favorites do happen to be older though, absolutely love Demon Days album in its entirety. Plus of course songs like Clint Eastwood
Alright, every songs that have been released are either good or amazing (Magic City and Souk Eye are gems) and this one is no goddamn exception holy hell
Mr. Touch wait meaning good or bad?
Sane amazing obviously
Good or amazing in the bad way. You know, BAD amazing! BAAMAAZING, Lana!
