The Now Now album is so good. In my opinion, it's really optimistic in a depressing situation. Songs like this and Humility, it's like "hey I know life sucks right now. I know you're holding on to things that are mentally pulling you down. It's okay to be sad today because tomorrow will be full of genuine smiles." 2D is a great spokesperson for that and I'm so happy that his life is changing for the better for him now. We can definitely see it throughout The Song Machine. I really wish happiness to all of them and to the listeners as well.

Goddammit, Melon described this album as "a day at the beach but you're too sad to enjoy it" and that is the EXACT vibe I am getting from this song. Upbeat with a dash of melancholy
A whole year later, and I still really like this song, essentially the whole album was amazing, it helped me get through a tough break up with someone I ounce thought was my worthy of my love (but not anymore) and it made me come at peace with not only myself but the ordeal that had consumed me for months on end, and I finnaly had moved on instead of depressingly waiting for nothing to come back. So, thank you Gorillaz, you're all one talented bunch, and I love y'all for it! Edit: younger me didn't know how to correct his spelling which is kinda embarrassing, but still has it's charm. Nonetheless, I enjoy looking back on this album by Gorillaz, especially this and a few other songs that really helped me cope after a bad break up that, now that I think about it, it Ieft it's scars but also help shape the person I am today, as corny as that may sound. Though the memories are incredibly bitter sweet, it never feels dull looking back. Hope you all are doing well if you read this. :)
I seriously hope Ace isn't some conspiracy catalyst for Gorillaz lore.i feel something brewing under the surface and hope it doesn't give a big fuck you to The Now Now album.
Just completed an absolutely traumatizing overseas divorce process from the one and only man I've ever had a relationship with; my kid and I are now free from him and the years of abuse he subjected me to, and we're flying back to our home in USA, and this whole album (especially Kansas, holy shit), has been an almost perfect soundtrack to the crazy mixture of emotions, memories, and struggles throughout all of this. Hurt like fuck when it all started back in November, but with our flight home so soon, I feel happier, stronger, and more alive than I have in the 17 years I was with my ex. Thank you, Gorillaz, for always giving me a soundtrack that aligns with whatever life throws at me. You might just be a bunch of cartoons, a singer, and an illustrator, but you've been by my side, in my ears, and in my soul for so long, y'all are practically a part of my DNA at this point.
I hope you feel better. I’ve been listening to Gorillaz since I was little (4 or 5) I’m 15 now and their songs have always help me get through things I never thought I would get through. It feels good knowing that someone who is going through something that heartbreaking is able to feel better with their music as well. I don’t know why it makes me feel all sorts of happy. Anyway, I hope you and your kids are a lot better now :))
Last year I was really depressed. Nothing was going right. I was scared of everything that was happening in the world, and fearing for my family. This song just allowed me to let it all out as soon as it says “I’m Not Gonna Cry”. Hope everyone is doing alright. You got this. It’s okay to cry sometimes.
I was just listening to this crying in my bed, and then the bass line made me think of that one meme with the dancing cockroach. Help, I cant stop laughing.

The memory of my fall from grace in your heart I'm on my journey home with no fuel, alone I think I'll coast a while I'm not gonna cry I got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream 'Cause I'm about to solve it Put my engine back into overdrive So I can breathe again, photosynthesize again With the green hills of my home I'm not gonna cry I got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream I'm not gonna cry (Save the way to me) I got more time to give (It's getting nasty) I'm not gonna cry Find another dream But if I got it right, you'd tell me And if I was wrong, then I'd disappear But I'm incapable I'm not gonna cry (Say the way to me) I got more time to give (It's getting nasty) I'm not gonna cry Find another dream
This is the first song I've ever felt like crying to. For a solid 2 hours I have been up at night on the brink of tears because of issues and problems I have, like being an orphan, and a lot of other fine treats life has for me. And I didn't cry once, but I allways feel like I will soon, like having the feeling of a sneeze even though you never do or will. The pain is so terribly good, the best kind of worst, the best bad there is, truly amazing.
This song has really helped me heal after my dog passed away on the 30th. I'm heartbroken and I've never been this hurt, but I find so much peace is this album and this song that it's helped me keep my head up even at my worst. I'm thankful.
This album seems to perfectly capture peoples hurt about losing loved ones, both those worth missing and those not. I think that was the intention, as this album is all 2-D's perspective after their latest separation from Murdoc.
Failure and heartbreak, man. It hurts like the end of the world. This song has an amazing effect of bringing it all forward and making you wanna cry. But then a few repeats in, you start to learn the words, sing along to the verses, and you hear the hope out of your own mouth, and you don’t feel like crying so much. How nice to coast a while and know you’re incapable of giving up, and you can heal while you find another dream. Awesome groove too. Thank you.
@@noobisboobis7934 I know. I was born & raised in Kansas. Lived in Wichita until I was 23. Then i moved away lol been in Maryland for over a year now. It's better. Lol
Yo I listened to this song the other day when I was feeling super super low & it actually kept me from doing something I wouldn't live to regret. Thanks Damon, Jamie, and all the other talented people who worked on it, y'all literally saved my life 💖💖💝💝
Limey Blimey it’s always nice to hear when something like this has a such a defining positive influence on people. That, in my opinion, is one of the greatest things that an artist can do for the world. Hope you’re still doing alright! Bad moments will pass, and it’ll be alright in the end 👍
This album got me through my depression and greif after a good friend of mine died in her sleep back in August. This song helped me process my emotions and thoughts during those dark times.
The combo of the vocals from 2-D and Ace's fucking bass along with the sweet but kind of thicc tune in the background makes this amazing melody that sounds so good. Definitely the best Gorillaz song I've ever heard.
The perfect song to listen to when you feel depressed and when you feel you wanna cry. I listen to this whenever I feel really down and wallow in my selfpity, feeling worthless and a failure in life, as I'm nearing my middle ages, haven't had love for five years, still have no kids of my own and feel no hope as no women even want to give me a chance by repling on the dating sites and app but keep on ignoring me.
(Music video) It starts with a closeup of Ace's hands as he starts playing the bass. The camera pans out to see him, 2D, Russ and Noodle. After a closeup of each of their faces, the camera stops on 2D (start of first chorus). As 2D starts to sing, he briefly recalls his old relationship with Paula (1st "I'm not gonna cry"). A quick mashup of images highlighting his failed relationship with her appear and then disappears ("find another dream"). A small dust storm appears off in the distance, unnoticed by any of them ("Memory of my fall from grace in your heart"). 2D faces the camera and grabs it, spinning it around. Eventually, it stops spinning and lands on Russ (start of second chorus). Russ remembers his friend Del and on the verge of crying, finally comes to terms with his friend saying goodbye after being exorcised many years ago ("find another dream"). The dust storm begins to get bigger as it gets closer to them and picks up speed. ("Put my engine back into overdrive") A nearby and unaware yak is caught up and begins to swirl inside the storm ('So I can breathe again"). The camera this time stops on Noodle (start third chorus). Remembering her childhood of being part of a super soldier program, Noodle sheds a single tear and wipes it away (2nd "I'm not gonna cry"). At this point, the dust storm becomes a full tornado and as the camera stops on Ace, they all get caught up in the tornado. All four are lifted into the air ("Save the way to me") and begin tumbling through the air. The yak is seen flying past them several times ("It's getting nasty") as they get higher and higher. Suddenly, the violent whirlwind begins to calm as they get close to the top ("But if I got it right"). After they reach the apex, the tornado dissipates ("But I'm incapable"); 2D reaches up into the air and as all four begin falling back towards Earth, they are shown to be wearing parachutes and pull the cords one by one (in reverse order from earlier, in time with the riffs beginning at 3:07). Ace flashes back to his past as an instigator against the PPG and catches both his and Noodle's guitars; passing Noodle's guitar to her, they play several more notes as they continue to descend ("Save the way to me"). They all land safely and discard the parachutes ("find another dream"). Each one having resolved to move on from their past, they get inside the GEEP and drive away.
Who else randomly scrolls through comments looking for something philosophical and how the lyrics relate to the current situation but ends up just finding regular comments.
As someone who only listened the first time due to living in Kansas, I have gained a much deeper connection with the song than I originally thought. I love the Gorillaz songs that are more thorough and emotional. Don't get me wrong, songs like Dirty Harry and Dare are amazing, in fact they are some of my favorites, I just feel like this came out of the blue for me in a way that I feel represented in the song. A whole new appreciation for Gorillaz.
@Ibrahim Abid Thats what I thought but breaking up with someone you love is worse than them never loving you in the first place. I know just from it happening but it's different for everyone. have a good life❤
Man, that little chime in the background at the end sounds so sweet and sad. I love it man. This song in general is so good at conveying an indescribably bittersweet emotion. Songs don’t usually make me tear up but something about this one just really gets to me.
This is one of the best albums in my opinion due to the fact that it is written in damon/2D's perpective, damon is jsut talking about his life at the moment, all be it using a lot of metaphors.
I had something with a girl... who supposed to be by my side, as i was always by hers. She knows how depression is terrible. She did know... But she left me, not just in a romantic way. She ran away. Forgot everything good we had together. It wasn't a breaking up. We never had something indeed... just a long time together and, mostly, alone and too close. But it was worse than a breaking up. It was a trash discarding. Once again, like almost everyone i meet in life, she suddenly changed. It's being so hard. The first weeks were worse... not having her close. Hearing her voice calling my name. Playing piano to me. Or even showing me her dog by social medias. But now, i just feel empty and sad. I fell apart. Someone i love hates me. Again. Always again. For the second time. My parents and some people say i'm too young to say that i don't want to be with someone. But time doesn't matter at all. That's what my doctor says. And he is 76 years old, for those who think i'm only a 19 kid. Moreover, it hurts. I truly fell in love for the first time at age 18. Then, my girlfriend left me (not just in a romantic way) and started to say that i was awful. After this, i didn't want to love anyone, but it's impossible to choose that. So i unfortunatelly fell in love again. And even if we never dated, our relationship was a lot deeper than the one i had with my girlfriend. Because i really love this girl. But in the end, she did the same. She despised me. Pretended that i never was something precious in her life. That i never spent nights giving her hope for a better life. Or in the hospital by her side. Even simple things. Like read books. Drink juice. Just walk. Talk. These were happy memories which became dust to her and scars to me. Sounds ridiculous, i guess. Because before i fall in love, i used to say "who would be stupid because a valentine?" Me. I'm stupid. Not just in romance. But i didn't die yet. And until there, i will keep fighting against myself and my thoughts. I will keep picking my pieces and trying to learn with each scar. Because that's how to act. Standing. I wrote this whole useless thing for two reasons. 1. Because Christmas is the worst time of year for me. Years ago, i tried to kill myself. In the next year, my kitten died. This year, i thought i would spend my time by my beloved's side... and forget about all my fear and agony. We had even made plans about today... But after what happened, she obviously wouldn't (and didn't, thanks God) come to my house, stare me. So... it's really hard. Forget someone that i don't want to forget. But i need. Because i have to live. 2. The second reason is because i can't stop crying with this song. Not only because of its beautiful melody. But because, somehow, i always find the exact song. The exact words i needed to hear in such a dark and blue moment. And the words were found in Kansas. "Find another dream." My mother listened because i needed to show her. And she said: "yes. You're gonna do that. Okay?" Because i'm gonna do it. I'll find another dream.
I suggest you read some Eckhart Tolle, either "The Power of Now" or "A New Earth". They might give you some direction. I found them immensely helpful throughout my life. "I gotta keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise, and who knows what the tide will bring." - Chuck Noland
love the sounds at 4:00 on the background ... great artists always put those little awesome details on their songs even if very few people will notice or its in the end of the song
Most people who Listened to the leak might have ruined the experience for themselves. While the bass was more thumpy live , I still love the tracks . Anyway The Now Now was a great album.
I listened to the live first and then the leaked album. I love both versions for different reasons, but mostly the album. For example, Tranz is HYPE as FUCK live, but the studio version has Damon singing both in his falsetto and his chest voice giving this cool sense of dualism fitting the lyrics. This album is a masterpiece.
This song reminds me of my dog, his name was Teddy, he was a very good dog and if he still sees me, wherever he is, I send him a big hug and I wish him luck wherever he is.
I lost a meaningful friendship I've had for the past 8 years in December. It feels like a part of me was ripped out and died in front of me. They were my best friend, I've shared so many things with them and even helped them in their times of need. They've been distant for the past year, amd we haven't been talking. I saw all the signs that our friendship was dying, but I ignored it and kept pretending that everything was alright regardless of how scared and in emotional pain I was in. Eventually, it was just too much and I needed to know what was happening. In their words, they changed into a different person while I haven't, and as a result we couldn't connect anymore. I cried my eyes out for two days, kept crying occasionally afterwards. It still hurts. I miss them a lot. I'm sad and angry and i want to call them out on how much shit they're full of for saying that. I know I can't, because that wouldn't be fair to them and would just do more damage. All i can do for now is just bear it, as hard and painful as it is. It still hurts, and it might hurt for a long time... This song feels the way I'm currently feeling. As much hurt I'm in, I can't cry about it anymore regardless of how much I want to. I have to move on. A part of me doesn't want to, but I have to...
I don't know if anyone else though of this, but that title is pretty fitting considering that Kansas is home in Wizard of Oz and 2D is singing about his "journey home".
One day I got a bad grade on an assignment at uni. I remember I drove back home listening to this song, holding back my tears and repeating "I'm not gonna cry" to myself while stuck on traffic. It's such an insignificant memory yet it's so deeply carved into my mind. It's weird. Maybe it's the song.
I was not gonna cry. It's too late. This song creates a massive feeling of peace in me. Love the song and the album! Thanks Damon and Jamie for The Now Now!
Makes me wanna kiss my currently nonexistent girlfriend as we slow dance on the roof of a deserted industrial building in Redhook while the sun sinks into the horizon behind the silhouette of the Manhattan skyline
Listening to this on my trip to Kansas. I'll tell you guys when I get there. Edit: I'm there Edit 2: I'm finally moving away from my abusive parents and staying in Kansas. Woohoo
Amo Gorillaz, está canción me hizo levantar mis ánimos desde hace tiempo, solo espero su regreso del largo descanso, :'c en verdad quiero que se haga realidad la esperanza de que vuelvan en hologramas futuristas uwu, por favor regresen antes :') Te amo Damon uwu ♥
I think what makes this song so relatable to so many people is that it's about a new start, it's about struggling with the past and just being in your misery but knowing that there is a tomorrow and you will find something or someone else that inspires you. In the darkest moments you think you might be incapable of healing, but eventually you will get back on your feet. Eventually you will feel like you can breathe again and process life. If anyone reading this is in the same mindset as me these days, just remember that life will go on. You won't always be this depressed mess of a person, just keep going and look for the things that make you happy and focus on them.
The Now Now album is so good. In my opinion, it's really optimistic in a depressing situation. Songs like this and Humility, it's like "hey I know life sucks right now. I know you're holding on to things that are mentally pulling you down. It's okay to be sad today because tomorrow will be full of genuine smiles." 2D is a great spokesperson for that and I'm so happy that his life is changing for the better for him now. We can definitely see it throughout The Song Machine. I really wish happiness to all of them and to the listeners as well.

This is the first song I've ever felt like crying to.
For a solid 2 hours I have been up at night on the brink of tears because of issues and problems I have, like being an orphan, and a lot of other fine treats life has for me.
And I didn't cry once, but I allways feel like I will soon, like having the feeling of a sneeze even though you never do or will.
The pain is so terribly good, the best kind of worst, the best bad there is, truly amazing.
I wish the best for you in life. be well.
how you doing now homie?
Are you all right?
This song has really helped me heal after my dog passed away on the 30th. I'm heartbroken and I've never been this hurt, but I find so much peace is this album and this song that it's helped me keep my head up even at my worst. I'm thankful.

This album seems to perfectly capture peoples hurt about losing loved ones, both those worth missing and those not. I think that was the intention, as this album is all 2-D's perspective after their latest separation from Murdoc.
I hope your dog is in a better place now chasing their tail and playing with toya
Failure and heartbreak, man. It hurts like the end of the world. This song has an amazing effect of bringing it all forward and making you wanna cry. But then a few repeats in, you start to learn the words, sing along to the verses, and you hear the hope out of your own mouth, and you don’t feel like crying so much. How nice to coast a while and know you’re incapable of giving up, and you can heal while you find another dream. Awesome groove too. Thank you.
When your favorite band names a song after your state that literally no one cares about 😎😎😎
Kansas is great.
pardon me
but
kansas is dank
They care more about Kansas than my state. Who the FUCK cares about North Carolina??
Yo Superman cares :D
tbh I think the two most famous things about Kansas is the line “I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore” and “WHy is tHis ark-kAnsas”
I love everything about Noodle including her fashion sense

this song makes me cry...2ds voice is too angelic in this
Yo I listened to this song the other day when I was feeling super super low & it actually kept me from doing something I wouldn't live to regret. Thanks Damon, Jamie, and all the other talented people who worked on it, y'all literally saved my life 💖💖💝💝
Limey Blimey it’s always nice to hear when something like this has a such a defining positive influence on people. That, in my opinion, is one of the greatest things that an artist can do for the world.

When you are crying, but you see a funny but true comment
This album got me through my depression and greif after a good friend of mine died in her sleep back in August. This song helped me process my emotions and thoughts during those dark times.
Ok.
bruh this is loaded af I didn't come here to get emotional but srsly bro that's tough hope its been better since then
Oh God. Sorry to hear that, mate. I'm sure she was an amazing person who you shared great moments with.
Hope you find peace
Man, that's awful. I hope you're doing well

When you're from Kansas and had Gorillaz's first album on cassette, then they release a song called Kansas.
The combo of the vocals from 2-D and Ace's fucking bass along with the sweet but kind of thicc tune in the background makes this amazing melody that sounds so good. Definitely the best Gorillaz song I've ever heard.
I'm not gonna cry
*Starts to cry*
I’m not crying you’re crying
I'm not gonna cry.
I'm not crying, I'm just chopping onions for a lasagna
Oh yeah yeah
I’m not gonna cry
I’ve got more time to give
im not crying my face is leaking
I think everyone knows the pain of knowing someone or something hurt them but still missing them so badly,,
The perfect song to listen to when you feel depressed and when you feel you wanna cry. I listen to this whenever I feel really down and wallow in my selfpity, feeling worthless and a failure in life, as I'm nearing my middle ages, haven't had love for five years, still have no kids of my own and feel no hope as no women even want to give me a chance by repling on the dating sites and app but keep on ignoring me.
Mats Berglinn keep on brother. I know you’ll find the one someday.
Yeah 2D'S voice is soooooo relaxing and he just sounds like an angle😋
Mats Berglinn good luck man, I hope it all works out for you
goodluck man youll find it someday
We've all been there good luck bro
"so I can breathe again, photosynthesize again" is so damn good
(Music video)
It starts with a closeup of Ace's hands as he starts playing the bass. The camera pans out to see him, 2D, Russ and Noodle. After a closeup of each of their faces, the camera stops on 2D (start of first chorus). As 2D starts to sing, he briefly recalls his old relationship with Paula (1st "I'm not gonna cry"). A quick mashup of images highlighting his failed relationship with her appear and then disappears ("find another dream"). A small dust storm appears off in the distance, unnoticed by any of them ("Memory of my fall from grace in your heart"). 2D faces the camera and grabs it, spinning it around. Eventually, it stops spinning and lands on Russ (start of second chorus). Russ remembers his friend Del and on the verge of crying, finally comes to terms with his friend saying goodbye after being exorcised many years ago ("find another dream").
The dust storm begins to get bigger as it gets closer to them and picks up speed. ("Put my engine back into overdrive") A nearby and unaware yak is caught up and begins to swirl inside the storm ('So I can breathe again"). The camera this time stops on Noodle (start third chorus). Remembering her childhood of being part of a super soldier program, Noodle sheds a single tear and wipes it away (2nd "I'm not gonna cry"). At this point, the dust storm becomes a full tornado and as the camera stops on Ace, they all get caught up in the tornado.
All four are lifted into the air ("Save the way to me") and begin tumbling through the air. The yak is seen flying past them several times ("It's getting nasty") as they get higher and higher. Suddenly, the violent whirlwind begins to calm as they get close to the top ("But if I got it right"). After they reach the apex, the tornado dissipates ("But I'm incapable"); 2D reaches up into the air and as all four begin falling back towards Earth, they are shown to be wearing parachutes and pull the cords one by one (in reverse order from earlier, in time with the riffs beginning at 3:07). Ace flashes back to his past as an instigator against the PPG and catches both his and Noodle's guitars; passing Noodle's guitar to her, they play several more notes as they continue to descend ("Save the way to me"). They all land safely and discard the parachutes ("find another dream"). Each one having resolved to move on from their past, they get inside the GEEP and drive away.
*Illuminati*
Stay right the fuck where you are
Nice imagination. I’d be cool if gorillaz get inspired to make this into an animation
Beginning sounds like Clint Eastwood

Current mood: this song.
Me too!

I'M GONNA CRY, becouse this song is a treasure.
"i'm not gonna cry ..." me when i saw all the Gorillaz uploads on one day
esta canción me hace sentir sentimental, es super linda esta canción.
esta canción es tan relajante y fresca
me: i'm not gonna cry
2d: i'm not gonna cry
me: alright, i will cry
Same
Who else randomly scrolls through comments looking for something philosophical and how the lyrics relate to the current situation but ends up just finding regular comments.
Hey Bubby wrong comment section, the fandom gotten out of control, and if you really want some inspirational comments Pink Floyd is the way to go
Damn I thought that was just me!
Why does it Matter? Me sometimes 😁
@@xjdhody9udy0doud38 HELL YEEEAAAH
No, I think I just found one. Thank you.
As someone who only listened the first time due to living in Kansas, I have gained a much deeper connection with the song than I originally thought. I love the Gorillaz songs that are more thorough and emotional. Don't get me wrong, songs like Dirty Harry and Dare are amazing, in fact they are some of my favorites, I just feel like this came out of the blue for me in a way that I feel represented in the song. A whole new appreciation for Gorillaz.
OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS ALBUM SO GOOD
becasuse it is *GORILLAZ*
Okay this is definitely a relationship song and you can hear how hurt 2D is again once again I'm going to cry
@Ibrahim Abid Thats what I thought but breaking up with someone you love is worse than them never loving you in the first place. I know just from it happening but it's different for everyone. have a good life❤
Man, that little chime in the background at the end sounds so sweet and sad. I love it man.
This song in general is so good at conveying an indescribably bittersweet emotion. Songs don’t usually make me tear up but something about this one just really gets to me.
*_"I'm on my journey home with no fuel, alone"_*
Wew that snatches my wig!
I love this song so much, it's so chill and beautiful
Gorillaz- wait for the live stream with our new track!
Nice tactic tho xD
Im bopping holy cow.
This is an accurate depiction of us introverts here in quarantine! 😓
This is one of the best albums in my opinion due to the fact that it is written in damon/2D's perpective, damon is jsut talking about his life at the moment, all be it using a lot of metaphors.
“I’m not gonna cry”.....I am ;-; 💕
:'v
0:01 i love this song
I had something with a girl... who supposed to be by my side, as i was always by hers. She knows how depression is terrible. She did know... But she left me, not just in a romantic way. She ran away. Forgot everything good we had together. It wasn't a breaking up. We never had something indeed... just a long time together and, mostly, alone and too close. But it was worse than a breaking up. It was a trash discarding. Once again, like almost everyone i meet in life, she suddenly changed. It's being so hard. The first weeks were worse... not having her close. Hearing her voice calling my name. Playing piano to me. Or even showing me her dog by social medias. But now, i just feel empty and sad. I fell apart. Someone i love hates me. Again. Always again. For the second time. My parents and some people say i'm too young to say that i don't want to be with someone. But time doesn't matter at all. That's what my doctor says. And he is 76 years old, for those who think i'm only a 19 kid. Moreover, it hurts. I truly fell in love for the first time at age 18. Then, my girlfriend left me (not just in a romantic way) and started to say that i was awful. After this, i didn't want to love anyone, but it's impossible to choose that. So i unfortunatelly fell in love again. And even if we never dated, our relationship was a lot deeper than the one i had with my girlfriend. Because i really love this girl. But in the end, she did the same. She despised me. Pretended that i never was something precious in her life. That i never spent nights giving her hope for a better life. Or in the hospital by her side. Even simple things. Like read books. Drink juice. Just walk. Talk. These were happy memories which became dust to her and scars to me. Sounds ridiculous, i guess. Because before i fall in love, i used to say "who would be stupid because a valentine?" Me. I'm stupid. Not just in romance. But i didn't die yet. And until there, i will keep fighting against myself and my thoughts. I will keep picking my pieces and trying to learn with each scar. Because that's how to act. Standing.
I wrote this whole useless thing for two reasons.
1. Because Christmas is the worst time of year for me. Years ago, i tried to kill myself. In the next year, my kitten died. This year, i thought i would spend my time by my beloved's side... and forget about all my fear and agony. We had even made plans about today... But after what happened, she obviously wouldn't (and didn't, thanks God) come to my house, stare me. So... it's really hard. Forget someone that i don't want to forget. But i need. Because i have to live.
2. The second reason is because i can't stop crying with this song. Not only because of its beautiful melody. But because, somehow, i always find the exact song. The exact words i needed to hear in such a dark and blue moment. And the words were found in Kansas. "Find another dream." My mother listened because i needed to show her. And she said: "yes. You're gonna do that. Okay?" Because i'm gonna do it. I'll find another dream.
Black Whatever Yes you will. ✊
Damn
I suggest you read some Eckhart Tolle, either "The Power of Now" or "A New Earth". They might give you some direction. I found them immensely helpful throughout my life. "I gotta keep breathing, because tomorrow the sun will rise, and who knows what the tide will bring." - Chuck Noland
Almost five years later and I’m still happy that my home state was recognized by one of my favorite bands
love the sounds at 4:00 on the background ... great artists always put those little awesome details on their songs even if very few people will notice or its in the end of the song
Ace is my favorite powerpuff girl!
mine is russel
Eleven Eggos YAAAASSS
Courage the cowardly dog is the best power puff girl
Modernwarhero agree
The Talking Dog is my favorite Gorillaz member.
Most people who Listened to the leak might have ruined the experience for themselves. While the bass was more thumpy live , I still love the tracks . Anyway The Now Now was a great album.
I listened to the live first and then the leaked album. I love both versions for different reasons, but mostly the album. For example, Tranz is HYPE as FUCK live, but the studio version has Damon singing both in his falsetto and his chest voice giving this cool sense of dualism fitting the lyrics. This album is a masterpiece.
Im not gonna cry...
This song is so good I love Kansas a lot of my relatives live there in fact in driving back from Kansas while listening to Kansas rn
This song reminds me of my dog, his name was Teddy, he was a very good dog and if he still sees me, wherever he is, I send him a big hug and I wish him luck wherever he is.
I never noticed noodle’s button on her jacket is glowing in every visual.
I want to cry this but I’m not gonna cry..
Victoria Niccals are you married to murdoc
"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Murdoc . . . ."

Precisely ;)

Pokenerd5 i wanna see your fanart
I'm 15 and born and raised in Kansas. When I move to Massachusetts at 18 for college, this'll be the song that'll be playing when I leave.
Okay but at 0:55 I can't stop hearing "I'm on my Tally Hall"
I lost a meaningful friendship I've had for the past 8 years in December. It feels like a part of me was ripped out and died in front of me. They were my best friend, I've shared so many things with them and even helped them in their times of need. They've been distant for the past year, amd we haven't been talking. I saw all the signs that our friendship was dying, but I ignored it and kept pretending that everything was alright regardless of how scared and in emotional pain I was in. Eventually, it was just too much and I needed to know what was happening.
In their words, they changed into a different person while I haven't, and as a result we couldn't connect anymore. I cried my eyes out for two days, kept crying occasionally afterwards. It still hurts. I miss them a lot. I'm sad and angry and i want to call them out on how much shit they're full of for saying that. I know I can't, because that wouldn't be fair to them and would just do more damage. All i can do for now is just bear it, as hard and painful as it is. It still hurts, and it might hurt for a long time...
This song feels the way I'm currently feeling. As much hurt I'm in, I can't cry about it anymore regardless of how much I want to. I have to move on. A part of me doesn't want to, but I have to...
Jacob Lopez I’m sorry you’ve had to go through with that
@@boop53 Thanks. It fucking sucks, but I'll get through it.
I live in Kansas and my favorite band made a song about it 😳
I don't know if anyone else though of this, but that title is pretty fitting considering that Kansas is home in Wizard of Oz and 2D is singing about his "journey home".
You smoking on some good shit
That bass!so amazing!
I love this song it’s one of my favorites of all time! So groovy!
this album reminds me a little bit of the fall for some reason. maybe its the state song titles?
Less collaborators. More instrumental based songs and released shortly after one of their bigger albums.
Lemon Films ah makes sense
BEN 2d in the last interview said some like...this one could be " his " álbum bc he is da leader( without murdoc) and he makes the lyrics.
One day I got a bad grade on an assignment at uni. I remember I drove back home listening to this song, holding back my tears and repeating "I'm not gonna cry" to myself while stuck on traffic.
It's such an insignificant memory yet it's so deeply carved into my mind. It's weird. Maybe it's the song.
I was not gonna cry. It's too late. This song creates a massive feeling of peace in me. Love the song and the album! Thanks Damon and Jamie for The Now Now!
THSI is making me cry I love it so much
Sin duda es mi favorita de este álbum
Morduc Van Wesel y fire flies, damon fue demasiado lejos con este álbum
A mi me encantó Lake Zurich, Hollywood, y esta
La mía está entre Magic City, esta y Tranz.
Dato interesante, esta es la canción favorita del álbum de Denholm Hewlett (el hijo de Jamie)
De hecho es el primer álbum que me gustan todas, en algunos álbumes no me gustan una que otra canción, la verdad damon hizo un trabajo increíble
A mi me encanta el ritmo que tiene esta canción...

Can't get the bass line out of my head. Think my fav track on album. Right on Ace. Lol

alex T U R N T do u think they’re gunna make actual music videos for this album?
One Million Subs Without a video Challenge They are doing a MV for Tranz right now, Im pretty sure about it.
It's nice to see Damon taking inspiration from Luigi's Mansion.
Wonderland Cartographer underrated comment
Really?? I've not played Luigi's mansion but would be very interested to know what Inspo he took!
I need to know more.
Haha. I was joking, everyone. The intro just gave me some serious Luigi's Mansion OST vibes.
Wonderland Cartographer lol
just got started with gorillaz and this album the NOW NOW is lovely
I think what makes this song so relatable to so many people is that it's about a new start, it's about struggling with the past and just being in your misery but knowing that there is a tomorrow and you will find something or someone else that inspires you. In the darkest moments you think you might be incapable of healing, but eventually you will get back on your feet. Eventually you will feel like you can breathe again and process life. If anyone reading this is in the same mindset as me these days, just remember that life will go on. You won't always be this depressed mess of a person, just keep going and look for the things that make you happy and focus on them.
Adoro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
