This and Empire Ants are so smooth, chill, and charming. the slow songs are the best on this album in my opinion

The Four Horsemen of Broken: Murdoc's nose Noodle's childhood and teen years 2D's life Russell's soul

Gorillaz songs make me think about Summer nights.These songs are so important to my teenage years and make me think about so many memories.This band is the fucking best.

Murdoc writes such beautiful songs for such a smelly old pervert. I love him.

Lyrics: 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 And dive as deep as they can 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 an outer heart And the space has been broken It's broken Our love Broken It's broken Our love 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 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 It's broken Our love Broken It's broken Our love Broken It's broken Our love Broken It's broken Our love Broken

There's something about this song, it's just so, addicting.

I know this is way late but the pure fact that Murdoc wrote this album makes me just think about how his father and classmates treated him. Without love he became broken.

the fact that Murdoc wrote this song is insane

Mudz is a softie once you bust open his mean shell he wrote to binge, empire ants, and broken? He has to be soft somewhere

Broken, Kansas, Andromeda, Fire Flies, Empire Ants, Busted and Blue, Submission, On Melancolly Hill, Souk Eye and Idaho, are my really sad favorite songs

This song is not complete without the video of Noodle dancing.

Seriously underrated track. The flute-thing reminds me of the Pikmin theme.

DISTANT STARS COME IN *BLACK* OR *RED* !THE COLOR OF MURDOC'S IRISES

I adore these melancholy gorillaz songs

My personal favourite Gorillaz song. Many good memories' associated with it, and I love the melancholy feel.

this music makes me comfortable to be a loner

THIS IS LIKE INJECTING HEROINE INTO MY EARS AND I LOVE It

This is one of the best sounding projects I've ever heard. Unfortunately people still see Demon Days as the perfect Gorillaz album. Do not sleep on Plastic Beach

I have ADHD. I have a hard time focusing in school. I forget homework a lot. And through the rough and tumble, this song gets me through it all. If you’re reading this, Damon, thank you for creating this band and this album.

Brroooookkkeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnn oouurr looooooooooooooove broookkeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeennn

In doncamatic 2-D :"Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me!.." In broken 2-D :"Brooooookeeen, our loooooove, brooooken..."

This song is so perfect ugh

13 years later and this shit still gets me emotional 😆

My go to to do R&R. Chillax. My nieces " burnt" this to their playlist. Back in CD times. Our auntie is on it & "hip"😊.

Hands-down my favorite Gorillaz song of all (at least so far). It just has such a calming sound to it, but it's sad as hell.

This song makes me want to feel sad and kinda happy at the same time.

the live visual from their plastic beach tour just makes the song even more addicting. its a simple video but man ive probably seen it like 100 times already

this song breaks my heart in a good way. thanks, damon. thanks, murdoc.

I'm obsessed with those goddamn synths. They're mind-boggling.

hey isnt this the song murdoc sang at the end of Gorrilaz in Dressing Room?

I feel ashamed for only now discovering this song... it's incredible

i remember crying in the rain to this song (it sounds dramatic, it was. but it was also an amazing experience)

Plastic Beach is my favorite gorillaz album and probably my favorite album of all time. It has so so many amazing tracks on it. I can't get enough

This song strikes so many emotions. The song sounds distant and sad. The chorus is melancholy and kinda lustful. The parts saying "there's nothing you can do for them" sound like betrayal or rejection. And some of the music sounds like what noodle would sound like if she were a song and it all just reminds me of a relationship, mind or building that's... Broken.

I'm so stressed right now, good thing I have plastic beach's calming music

wanna know what else is broken? my fucking heart

the lyric "there's nothing you can say to her" always gets to me on a deep level

I discovered this album very late. Now I'm in love with this song and its oniric atmosphere. I wish a live action Gorillaz movie. And I wish a scene with this song: // Foggy dawn, 2d smoking on the balcony. Murdoc shows him the lyrics of this song, 2d immediately likes it and asks him what inspired him. Murdoc doesn't answer, but we see the flashback with kid Murdoc who assist to (and suffer himself) his father's abuse and violence. "I am without a heart..." Back to present, Murdoc stares into space. 2d takes a cigarette from the pack and hands it to him with a smile, without saying anything (...but from the smile he seems to have guessed what Murdoc doesn't say). Murdoc takes the cigarette and, for a second, shows an human expression: a glimpse of fragility and gratitude. But it's just a brief moment. The scene ends with flashbacks of Noodle and Russel's traumas, alternating with the group's live performance. It remind us they are all broken.//

Эта песня просто наполняет меня спокойствием, такая красивая и лёгкая

it's 2016, i still listen to this. because it's good quality music not everyday songs that you forget in a week or two.

The "Broken Our love" Isn't that the same song that murdoc tried singing in the stuck in the tour

How unlucky I am to know Gorillaz just in the end of 2022.I have lived my 22 years without your songs.

The part at the beginning seems innocent, and like, it reminds me of a man stranded on an island, leaning against a tree, waiting for someone to come and rescue him. He watches seagulls soar by and no signs of anyone coming for him.

This is my favorite Gorillaz song of all time. Hell, one of my favorite songs of all time in general.

This is a good break up song to send to someone

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 And dive as deep as they can [Bridge] 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 without a 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 [Bridge] 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

This song can make people be sad, but also happy. Maybe other feelings that are undescribable

Crying? I'm not crying...just got something in my eye

i'm so glad i grew up with this band, they're music is amazing in every way, they make life seem so simple, just turning on one of their songs cheer me up, its crazy how its been 14 years since plastic beach, times flies

1. Listens to it the first time " oh I will just watch it again because I didn't take it all in " 2. Second time " Well now it's just really catchy " 3. Third time " Wait what music should I listen to- I'll just listen to it again " Me with every single Gorillaz song

Yknow, something interesting is that for some reason, this is the only song I can’t picture 2-D singing, I just imagine Damon himself every single time

new album is going to be crazy good

It's so... Calm... It's a song that reminds me of several moments... important in my life...

Late last night I had to use the washroom. I climbed out of bed, paused my show and I heard something familiar. When I got out of the bathroom, I heard my mom listening to this song. It made me cry for some reason. After that, I fell asleep happily. :)

13 years have gone by since plastic beach...

I used this song as my morning alarm for high school once. It still sends me into a PTSD episode.

There's nothing like listening to this song while eating a bowl of soup while contemplating life while your dog begs for the soup in front of you

This song makes me think of someone who's lost everything but has decided that straying on his own path would be the best option. The beat sounding likes wolves howling representing him straying as a lone wolf

drving home after buring my best friend and this came on my spotify bitter bliss and remembered all the good times we had together. thank your Gorillaz

this song hits really weird around 3-5am,,, i could honestly say the same for the rest of the gorillaz discography, but staring at the ceiling, unable to sleep, listening to this,, it makes me feel so empty yet filled,,, ??? it’s special.

this song gives me goosebumps and makes me want to cry even when I'm in a chill mood, that flute just adds the most wild, melancholy vibe to it and I don't even know

It tickles me in all the right ways.

7 years later and I still can't believe Memedoc Pickles wrote this

I never actually worshiped this song and album enough... Is great.

my favorite Gorillaz song. It’s so damn good

I’ve listened to this song over 100 times and it just is amazing. Like everything about the layering of the sounds and the way they just combine makes me and my soul so happy.

When I get married, I'll replace the slow dance song with this and start dancing by myself and see everyones reaction.

I think my addiction to this song is the lyrics and flow I also like the melodica.

One of my favorites

I'm so happy songs are being released on this channel again :), I just learned how to play broken on the melodica what a coincidence:)

Wanna know what else is broken? My will to live.

UNDERRATED SONG :'C

this song came on while i was in the bathroom and lemme tell ya it was the best piss of my life, totally recommend 🔥🔥

I will never get over this song it is just beautiful. Gorillaz is some kinda magic I can’t explain

if you wanna cry then listen to this song it always reminds you of something that makes you cri

I can’t believe I have just now heard of the Gorillaz. What have I been missing.

Love ❤️ this song

When Murdoc hits the right bar of alcohol level he becomes a poet for 30min.

One of my favourites, along with Andromeda, One Percent, Empire Ants, Rhinestone Eyes, We Got The Power and Doncamatic ⭐️

Images from this song: A whale swims through the deep, releasing its harrowing call throughout the waters. It swims upwards and eventually leaves the water, taking flight. It has its sights set far beyond the circling seagulls. The occupying members of a passing fishing boat watch in shock as the behemoth of a whale rises into the sky as if filled with helium. It calls again, the skies trembling beneath its alien sounds. It eventually leaves the Earth's atmosphere, flying faster and faster. It finds itself impervious to the harsh environment of space. It just keeps picking up speed, passing planets and galaxies. It moves faster than anything has ever moved. Panicked, it attempts to call out one final time. However, it cannot. It instead bursts, rather like a bubble. There is no blood or viscera. It is completely clean an empty on the inside. It was just a shell. Teh End.

it’s 00:05 AM and I’m sitting here laughing my ass off and feeling the worst kind of sadness known to man simultaneously (which I don’t even understand- this song never made me feel sad before until now which only makes it more haunting) because I just found an old picture of a cat in a room filled with hotdogs with this song playing. if I’m being honest I couldn’t think of a better way of living if I tried.

I wanna cry now, I love you Gorillaz

2-D makes every song good (;

I love how it switches from they, him, and her. Idk if its intentional but i love it.

I like to imagine that is Noodle singing with 2-D in the chorus and "when the sunlight is arising" and "and the space has been broken". very depressing but very beautiful.

i swear this song is so underrated

the fact that there's so much fucking lore for animated gorillas is incredible

2d's voice is amazing.

Plastic Beach is my favorite album by them because at face value, the songs seem so happy and upbeat. But once you listen closely, you notice that they have a more mysterious and melancholy feel to them. They give such a good vibe and aesthetic and I could listen to them for hours on end. It's hard to believe that MURDOC of all people wrote this. The songs give an insight as to what Murdoc's mind is really like.

Esta canción es una obra de arte debería tener más visitas

This is honestly one of the best songs I think I’ve ever heard.

10 years later and I'm still vibing to this beat. Love Gorillaz forever.

To me, this song is about how we may never get to be able to truly visit and connect with distant stars, or colonies there. Happens to be also a somewhat literal interpretation. "The space between them is broken", in that it's receeding faster than we could ever hope to overcome.

The fact that I see people ship band members together makes me want to vomit several times.

I don't know how to explain it but the intro of this song sounds refreshing.

The Gorillaz are absolutely one of the finest from England.

I love this song. specifically the live version. the lyrics are almost made to be sung live with the balance of static and unique acoustics.

It's broken,we can never change the past but the future relys on us

Can we talk about the lyric, "distant stars come in black or red. I've seen their world's inside my head." Because those are the colors of Murdoc's eyes and I just think that's really interesting and i have a couple of theories about how it affects the song's meaning!

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 and dive as deep as they can 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 without a heart And the space has been broken It's broken Our love is broken It's broken Our love is broken 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 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 It's broken Our love is broken It's broken Our love is broken It's broken Our love is broken It's broken Our love is broken
