Is it me or Damon sounds way more passionate in this version? Also those trumpets
He sounds like david bowie.
Also david bowie worked with nile rodgers who also worked with daft punk, making this the ultimate daft punk Gorillaz crossover.
That's adorable how Noodle makes Russ smile. Tbh I kinda see them all as a little family, 2D is protective and caring for Noodle like a brother, Russel protects them (objectively) from Murdoc like a dad-friend, and Murdoc is just like the weird uncle or something.
You were able to perfectly describe their family relationship!
I just noticed they animated Russel's breathing and the way his hand gently moves. So freakling awesome, my god! The detail put into this...
I can see the hand moving, but it's hard to make out the breathing for Russel. Am I high?
@@darikai219 do you see how his body is slowly going up and down that’s him breathing 🙂👌
I feel like Russel doesn't get as much attention
Well his voice actor is hanging with Damon and the gang right now, so it's more than likely Russ will have a bigger (no pun intended) role in the new album than he did in phase 3.
Plastic Beach was more orchestral than their previous main albums, we'll see what happens in phase 4 and what direction they'll take.
ye, just became a fan a few months ago, waiting for the new album tho
This song doesn't get enough recognition as songs such as clint eastwood or humility. I mean this song is sooooo DAMN good.
i love how after noodle ducks from the pirates at 2:03, even with russ’s white eyes, you can tell he looked right at her, as if to see if she’s alright. then she gives him a head nod, kind of as a way of reassuring him, like “yeah, i’m okay” and he smiles and goes back to looking at the camera like normal. even with subtle moments like those, you can tell russ truly cares about her
Poor Russ, he's always just a handsome background. Not that I don't love Noodle to pieces.
i like the part where she notices the pirate and is like "uhh... UHH"
Ay yo one sec bro whats u--.... WHERE YO CLOTHES AT? Kinda moment, except, completely different (lord forbid the bean saw anyone with no clothes >:()
I love how in 2:10 is the only time I've seen Russ smiling and it'll probably be the only time we see it
+Crash Bandicoot staring into your soul dank memes he actually is cause if I remember he was the first one interacting with noods
Russel is very protective of her because he respects her,(she smacked him in one of the G-Bites),and he feels like a father figure to her.
the animation is so good I can't
this is, without a doubt, the best live performance i’ve ever heard. the vocals sound so much more passionate and heartfelt, and the addition of the trumpets is just pure bliss. easily my favorite song by them.
I wish Russel had more love from fans because he is like a good guardian to Noodle ever since the start. Also I feel like Noodle had some major scary flashbacks on 2:58 and if you see closely Russel's eyes widen then leading him giving Noodle a smile as a way of him saying that everything is okay because she's not alone anymore.
I can't believe _Murdoc_ of all people wrote this song.
i see him as the only guy who could
probably about how he feels with the band all split up
Sam S Murdoc would write this song then write a song called Broken Glass and Pentagrams.
damn, i wish the album version had that brass
Pippin Covington yeah me tooo, can't believe they didn't record this in the studio :(
They might have needed one of those orchestral recording rooms for it, and just didn't have the cash.
Is it weird that the vocals give me a kind of David Bowie vibe? Well either way, I love it.
I'm late but murdoc wrote this song and the actor used to do david Bowie impressions so maybe..
Same. I was looking for this comment to check if I'm not overassociating xP
Even in Phase 3, when Noodle was around 18, she was still a precious bean. 10/10.
lol Russel's little smile at 2:13. No one is immune to Noodle's cuteness
funny enough i think murdoc is the one i see smiling the most lol (other than noodle on her other form)
i love how noodle isnt really sure what to do when she isnt playing so she kinda just nods her head and rocks back and forth
I don't know why but Noodle's situation in the events following up to Plastic Beach reminds me of this crisis that occurred in the 2010s in the UK. There was this war going on in a country that a lot of British children were living in at the time. They had this charity called "Save the Children". I could be remembering things incorrectly but basically there was literal bombings going on in the country and a lot of kids were separated from their parents and they lived lives like Noodle where they were on their own in a active war zone and they kind of had to mature faster than a normal kid would if they wanted to survive.
I was two at the time and I went to live in the uk 6 years after that
Noodles a damn super soldier from the japanese government, she didnt have much of a childhood to begin with
I'd like to point out that there is over 4.5 million views on an animated video of a giant black man in the sea with a small girl in his hand dancing to a recording of live music.
Daniel Kelly when you say it like that, it sounds like some Patrice Wilson shit.
I am a few of those hits. I like this version of the song with the brass. And i can't buy the mp3 of this mix.
Its kind of sad. Like seeing DARE and Noodle being so happy and dancing to her hearts content and being wild and *happy*, and then seeing this, in which she' s scared and awkward and needs Russel's support and she's holding her hands behind her back and wearing a mask---
someone help this poor girl.
I wish we could get a Studio recorded version of this exact performance
I really love how Russel and 2-D (and even Murdoc in his own twisted way) care about Noodle. Russel saves her in his way towards Plastic Beach and literally "gives a hand" to her at this video, and you can see 2-D checking on her at the DoYaThing video. Murdoc, on the other hand, could be considered the responsible for her injuries in La Mañana, but in reality his plan was to save her.
Can't really blame them tho. I, too, would be super-protective of a cute sister-like girl in my band :D
@@AnaSantos-og7br i think it's about the entire band. Murdoc and 2D were more upset with Murdoc than theyd ever been when they thought Noods was dead and even he struggled with his own guilt
@@forestpaw2877 I understand not seeing murdoc in the “family” as much but 2-D is like an older brother to her (just not as protective as Russel)
The ending sounds so beautiful
listened to this again, the ending is so euphoric and idyllic my opinion hasn't changed STILL GOLDEN
2:19 Damon sounds amazing in that part
I like how Noodle is simultaneously the little sister of the group and a secret government ninja clone who has slain demons
Alright, who is cutting onions??
Murdoc, is it you?
Its kinda accurate yes in the mtv cribs but thats a garlic but consider the fact that murdoc wrote the song and the whole plastic beach album himself
"here is me cutting an onion"
-Murdoc Nicalls, 20iforgotwhatyearspecificallyprobably01orsomething
So sad i didn't get to experience this amazing song live i was only 4 at the time. So crazy.
For those of you worrying about Russells thumb, it's drawn fine, it's just the view and perspective you're seeing it at, try doing it with your own hand to see the results.
I literally cant do that. His thumb is too far out for it to bend like that unless yall are double jointed or something
that mask she's wearing at first it looks like a butterfly but then it also looks like a cats face.
Its a very neat optical illusion
If Russell's top half only goes that high above the water level, and he's standing in the ocean... HOW LONG ARE HIS LEGS?!?!
Are we all just ignoring the fact that Russel’s thumbnail is on the wrong side of his thumb
I know some people like 2-D and Noodle together but I can only ever see her as a little sister to him. It's be super weird if they were together because she was 8 when she met them. It's just kinda creepy if you think about it.
thats true. 2-D is suppose to be like 40. And Noodle Is 25.(Btw, they met her when she was 10, she joined the band a month later.)
+That One Stale Meme Actually, she was 8 when she joined and as of 2016 is 26, making 2-D 38. If she was 8 when she joined the band, D would've been 20 so it's super creepy.
I'm totally agree on this one, especially with the sibling-like relationship between 2-D and Noodle.

I was about to say wow that ship has one hell of a shadow and then i realized it was oil....Oh
i think it follows the last song where the ship where noodle was is attacked. the planes did shoot the ship, which might have shot the oil tank. who knows lol
i like how this kinda feels like an apocalypse scenario in a way
fits an album about how the world is being polluted
When Damon introduces The Hypnotic Brass I get some serious chills because they make this song into a masterpiece.
@@ameadus chi-town* haha i’m a chicagoan and that’s what we call it here
I dont even know where to start... since im older now and look more at the animation I see all the small little details! How gently Russel holds Noodle, how he always stretches his arm and hand more out when its her turn to play and how he pulls it back again when she is done. How patently Noodle waits the whole time.... Its all so soft and delicate! Such a simple video and yet it holds so much onto it! Im still in love with it, even after 10 years!
When a live version is better than the studio, you know we got a legend
damon's bowie impression
+Frankie Ashworth Yeah, that's what I thought too. But it's a quite good Bowie impression so I'm not complaining.
I'm 33 years old, I've been listening to Gorillaz since I was 18 years old. I love them today as much as I did back then!
Music has no age, it is eternal, everlasting. It is but the sum of the wind, it knows no beginning, nor an end.
Beautiful thing, this music is and will always be.
-HP
I agree fully with you . You sound a person who understands music my friend .
I'm gonna get my own green melodica thanks to this
Edit: Melodica is on its way!
Edit: Got my green melodica. I'm going to be so cool now.
how's the melodica going? i considered getting one myself honestly!! i hope you're doing okay no matter what, though
2:11
Noodle: you alright?
Russell: yeah, now play.
Me: **dies**
this is so lovely but russels thumb is twisted is he okay,
No it's just at an angle where it looks twisted but it's drawn right
love her dancing while playing the melodica
2:18 Its so cute when she just crosses her arms It looks like she is shy AAAA PERFECT
Love that it looks like Russ is just staring at us making sure we applaud and love noodle’s melodically playing. So freaking wholesome. I see them as a little father/daughter duo or like an older brother relationship and I love it! So precious
I like Russel's little smile at 2:13
+Jason Sanders2 Russel is so underrated. i like him better than Murdoc because of his sweet character. Murdoc is too much of an arse for my liking
+Libbie Charmaine Boucher Same here. But I still can't help but love Murdocs humor. Though I really wish he hadn't KiDNAPPed 2D. Poor 2D.
first Harambe and now the beach ball..........whats the world coming to XD
[Verse 1]
Distant stars
Come in black or red
I've seen their worlds
Inside my head
They connect
With the fall of man
They breathe you in
Then dive as deep as they can
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising
There's nothing you can say to him
He is in outer heart
And the space has been broken
[Chorus]
It's Broken
Our love
Broken
It's Broken
Our love
Broken
[Verse 2]
Is it far away
In the Glitter Freeze
Or in our eyes
Every time they meet
It's by the light
Of the plasma screens
We keep switched on
All through the night while we sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising
There's nothing you can say to her
I am without a heart
And the space has been broken
[Chorus]
It's Broken
Our love
Broken
It's Broken
Our love
Broken
It's Broken
Our love
Broken
It's Broken
Our love
Broken
2:22 DAMN I didn’t know Damon had such a strong vibrato LMAO love it tho. Also this video gave me strong David Bowie vibes, miss him a lot :(
I am concerned for any of the 1 thousand people that disliked this video, for they must be deaf
Why are there so many dislikes? The music and video work perfectly together.
It because a lot of people prefer the studio version and not the live version. Gorillaz seems to have removed the studio version from UA-cam and only the liver version can be found.
The oil slowly crept through the sea behind the cargo ship. Makes sense given the whole "plastic beach" being made of plastic, lots of pollution
I would listen to the gorillaz ever since I was a kid. And it brings me joy to see noodle do her little dance. Also thank god they didn't kill her off
Am i the only one who thinks it would have been neat if Russel slowly started to nod to the beat and crack a smile
BigBadBacon 4699 But all of Noodle's stuff would of gone the way of the Beach ball.. :3
Yeah but, look at him, he doesn't move, or breath for that matter
1:14 Noodle: breathes
Me: *omgomgomg perfect*
Just Noodle. Perfect. Noodle is perfect. No argument, she’s perfect
OMG the Russel's smile is soooo cuteee
I hate that my little girl, Noodle (older than me, though) is all grown up...
She's so beautiful...
This is better than the studio version lol
1:57 “Ayo watch your jet bro...ayo watch yo jet bro WATCH YO JET”
That dance....
I NEED A FUCKING GIF OF THAT DANCE!!!
media.tumblr.com/a09299c856871345ce99466f429ce0f6/tumblr_inline_nj1fxjLddO1rru5gr.gif
That is ONE. CUTE. NOODLE.
Colin Geiger no im asking if shes a woman, as in "wow shes an ADULT now?" cuz u know GIRLS are kids an WOMEN are adults, follow along....
*turns up volume to hear vocals*
*gets earraped by trumpets*
The trumpets are soo good in this. It kinda makes the song feel more full than the album version.
After watching this, I drew noodle so many times. She is just so badass and grown to a beautiful women.
Chaotic Waffle Thanx for that visual of her, 😂 but I'm sure she just had a scar on her eye becuase it shows it in other videos, like MrAxeew said.
Chaotic Waffle XD she has a black eye, she takes it off rhinestone eyes
Is anyone reacted to this at concert before. They like: "OMG! Its Noodle! She's alive?!"
On Melancholy Hill came first, she is shown to have survived, and then reunites with Russ in the end, which leads to Broken, and then Rhinestone Eyes
Sometimes i just really, REALLY wish this was the studio version. Its just so goddamn beautiful to listen too.
I like Russel. He's all tough outside, but he loves little Noodle X3
Waffle Walrus
Where was that stated? I mean it would fit the story of plastic beach.
This song makes me cry ;_; I love it. And this live version of Broken sounds beautiful :')
Alka Its the Hypnotic Brass that always gets me. Love this song, be great for a movie
The way he sings makes me feel like someones love with me is actually broken
Ill always be pissed that this version isnt in spotify :(
@@irlmeow Sorry, do you have a link to it? :( It wont show up in my searchbar
I always get chills when noodle pulls down her mask at the end,I love this version of the song so much
*noodle starts playing*
me:*melts*
y'know how when you were a kid and you accidently got too much ice cream because you got a cone that was bigger than expected and you couldn't eat it all at once so you had to eat it over time and it got liquidy. that is called melting.
I love how you can tell when she is about to dance. Russel lowers his fingers just enough, and she starts checking the keys on her recorder. I'd consider it an honor to have Noodle dance on my considerably smaller hands. She has her shoes off, so it would be okay.
This is one of the best images in the entirety of Gorillaz imo
this. THIS!
Seems I made the mistake of listening to the live version before the album version, this is amazing 😭
Noodle seems cuter than ever.
I tried doing her little dance but I'll never be as cute as her \(^•^)/
Crimson _SDG she’s 14 in demon days, or phase 2, and like ya boy just said, is 18 in plastic beach.
the left arm layer is above the dress layer aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
oh that music...that feel...like you're endlessly drowning in the ocean..only Gorillaz can do that!
The oil tanker is releasing oil into the ocean. You think it's just the daylight or shadows, but the dark emits from the ship, feeding oil from right to left until the sea ends completely black.
1:20 is now my live wallpaper
@@demetrolara2234 I screen recorded it and used the featur eon my phone
@@julijuliannajuli yeah, that's what I thought, I was wondering if u had a loop or sum, preciate the answer
oh no! our love! it's brokenn
the brass part brings me to fucking tears
I come to this every now and then to see Noodle's little dance. ;')
Every time I hear this song I just imagine David Bowie singing it. You can definitely hear the Bowie influence, I wish we could have seen a Bowie/Gorillaz collab before his tragic passing
Poor Noodle at 2:03 we basically watched her have a flashback, but she kept going 'cause Russ gave her a look saying like "You alright?" and she feels safe around Russel and knows he wouldn't let her get hurt.
The memories...
I miss it too much...
Russ's interactions with Noodle are too cute. I love their friendship.
He's like a dad to her.
Oof
At least you didn't say you like their "relationship"
Still not as great as 2D and Murdoc, change my mind.
MusicalArtist25 no more like a protective brother
