This is for me by far the best Gorilaz song. To mix Sadness and melancholic sounds is not an easy task,it require to be mature as a musician and this song has it all..Its an underground masterpice

Damon was probably the best songwriter of the 2000's. And also one of the coolest in the 90s as well

3:14 Damon is just straight up vibing.

0:16 did anyone else notice the mom giving her son a kiss in the bottom left? very wholesome

I love how everyone's groovin' out. What a chill atmosphere.

DAMON'S DANCING WHEN LITTLE DRAGON IS SINGING IS GOLD

Do you think those audience members realize how lucky they are?

Her dance move during “working the machine” is iconic. How can you not do it every time during that line now? Lol

By far my fav song off that Plastic Beach album ... when it released i played it in my car, my house, my headphones ... everywhere ... and now i will again!

This arrangement of Empire Ants is so amazing.

Her voice sounds like a more mature, experienced version of Kali Uchis. It hits hard and smooth. Amazing voice.

I'm so glad they jammed for longer than the record version for this song. I always love when theat synth line comes in at the end and want it to keep going longer.

Damn this Damon Albarn guy sounds a lot like 2D

Little Dragon is what I imagine live-action Noodle looking like.

‘My little feet working the machine’ is shout to everyone making this shit work forward! We are the Empire of Ants!💜

Christ it makes me SOOO happy to see people are still commenting on this……

I don’t think there’s ever been a live performance that’s ever soothed my mind as much as this, the violin and instrumentals of the beat transition calms my mind like crazy. Thankyou Damon!

Yukimi is incredible...never heard a voice like hers. Otherworldly.

You can't hear gorillaz, you can't sing gorillaz, you just need to feel it.

I'm sitting on a hospital bed. Anxiety through the roof. Ekg machine hooked up. Need to relax. This song... the melody... is all I need.

Damon's Head: Oh man, i like this song... Damon? Damon: 3:11

Empire Ants, Broken, To Binge are the most feel-good/badman songs from the album

I love how Damon is dancing and enjoying the music!

This is Gorillaz's masterpiece and I'm not going to argue

I value the input of Damon on this one enormously. You can really see he's matured as an artist. This is his best work so far.

Damon is the ONLY musician on earth who can have both Mick Jones and Paul Simonon with him on stage just with a phone call... What a genius he is !

They all having so much fun while performing. It doesn`t even seem like they are there for the audience and more for themself, all enjoying some amazing tunes and vibing through the night

Seeing her sing on this tour was amazing. She'd look up at the lights and blast these notes like there was nothing else in the universe but just her and the sound in that eternal moment.

If your here in 2020 you know what beautiful music sounds like Good Vibes🤙

I had a small understanding of gorillaz up until the last few weeks. Then I fell down the rabbit hole of the story of the animated band and WOW!!! So much FANTASTIC music. This song is UNBELIEVABLE. I am now a Gorillaz FREEK!!!

I was born in the right generation

It’s always breathtaking to watch people come together and make something exquisite with instruments.

3:14 dat damon dancing in the background like xD

Its crazy how much this sounds like the album version. and every single sound is you hear in this somebody is playing live. just amazing!

I love how you can just seen Damon jamming out in the background.

Nobody is talking about how the bassist is so immersed into Murdoc. I love him!

Yukimi's voice is so beautiful

I love that Damon always thinks about music being real. No matter if it doesn't sound like the studio - it's real!

I'm listening to this in my shed and theres a storm outside - at exactly 2:31 A flash of lightning followed by a huge crack of thunder erupted nearby. Couldn't have felt more perfect (and terrifying)

I personally think this is one of the best gorillaz albums ever made, the featured artists, the production value, and the blend of genres perfectly mix together to create a fantastic experience and this is just one of the songs that proves it.

3:14 Aw Damon in the background dancing is just everything to me

12 years later I am STILL watching this, and will forever more!

Little Dragon isn't Noodle you guys.

its insane how the live and album versions literally sound the same. pure talent. Gorillaz is incredible

working the machine

Q hermoso!!! , como me hubiera encantado estar ahi, tengo años escuchando esta canción y siempre me hace sentir algo especial dentro de mi.

Her voice its beautiful

her voice is so good to listen to. i think i've heard it ten thousand times and this is the first time i've seen her. super cool, what a killer song.

3:11 lol, i was just looking down in the comments and i look back up and damon is just rocking out in the back

I miss when people can gather n witness art like this 💔

4:47 could be such a cool way to segway into stylo

I love how much all of them are feeling it.

The Bass is amazing in Little Dragon's part of the song.

Quite easily one of their top 10 in terms of realizing who they were as a band in retrospect. Absolutely beautiful track.

4:47 The Violinists and the Cellist going crazy😂😂😂😂😂

The orchestra’s giving me goosebumps😭

I'd love to see Little Dragon on the new album again :D

Wait a second. Are they made of flesh and bones? My entire childhood was a lie!

started getting chills at 2:25

It’s 2022 and this fantastic tune is STILL DOING IT!! Damon- you’re one of our nation’s true geniuses 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

With Mick Jones and Paul Simonon from the Clash !!

This masterpiece is still out of this world. Damn...

bro this song fucking touches my soul. i love it so much this is the one song i wouldn't mind listening to whenever it's amazing. thank you for making this wonderful masterpiece.

Si al entrar al cielo habría una canción, definitivamente, esta sería.

Little Dragon's stage presence is so awkward that it makes it fantastic.

THE CHILLS

gorillaz always sounds more powerful live

Damon just after when he did his job just start to vibin . The best song I ever heard .do more that kind of songs

"Empire Ants," in combination with some yellow stars aligning, made me feel a sense of life I thought I lost two long years ago. I've known of Gorillaz since the beginning, but kind of scoffed at the sudden and quick rise in popularity. But someone I love very much happens to very much love Gorillaz. I checked in on her on Spotify, clicked what she last played to try to get the feeling I get when she and I manage to meet up over vast distances, which I haven't felt in all this time. Not until hearing this. Thank you.

Song takes me to a special place in my mind of being at peace.

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

Every now and then over the years I keep coming back to this performance. I think I love this more than the studio version.

something about this performance. probably my favorite rendition of the song. brings a tear to the eye

Live music at its best! Song is magic in this version.

Everything balanced and off set to each other, perfectly harmonized and chaotic yet sweetly ironic, this song has many depths and reveals its secrets the more one listens and yes watches as it is visibly juxtaposition-ed with opposites. Superb, bordering on perfection.

Absolutely amazing. Both the performance, the sound... and Damon's dances in the background)

is this when the fake gorillaz went on stage and murdoc, 2d and cyborg noodle was trapped in the room?

And the thing goes TUTUTURUTUTURUTUTUTUTURUTUTUTUTUTU

That one shot of cyborg noodle at 1:32 goes hard. PB was def peak creativity and storytelling of Gorillaz and i hate that i didn't get into it when it came out mostly due to being in middle school and not really thinking that my computer access could've gone beyond flash games lol.

I still get goosebumps from this song, so pleasant and melancholic. IM CRYING!!!!

To everyone expecting Gorillaz to come back this year, they are not. The Album has been delayed to 2017

Lyrics: 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 of the whole 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, empires 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

This is the song that introduced me to Little Dragon, and I have loved them ever since. Yukimi has such a lovely unique voice.

Albarn has been making hit tunes for 30 years at least. Little Dragon is a gem of a discovery,

Little Dragon has to be one of the most underrated bands of the last decade

I said the same thing on another video, the Gorillaz songs with Yukimi in it are so rare, it should be performed live more often, like To Binge and Empire Ants. I would kill to see them perform it live.

damon dancing in the background lel

Insane how much this live performance sounds like the track it's amazing

Inside and outside of BLUR Damon still manifests his GODLINESS. DAMON IS A GOD OF MUSIC.

woah she's so attractive.. Not in a drop dead gorgeous kind of way in my opinion, more in a adorable sweet girl with a heart as golden as her voice kind of way. If that makes any sense.

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 And if the whole world is crashing down on you Fall through space out of mind with me 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 Little memories marching on Your little feet working the machine Say 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 Say 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

His voice is so beautiful

this song hits me so hard, allways calms me down or gets me happier, absolute masterpiece.

Amo la vibra que transmite esta canción.

3:11 haha watch Damon 😂

A quick note to let the world know we survived 2020. My little feet, workin' the machine.

2:35 suddenly their all jiving haha. Love IT!

January 2022, I am 29 years old. Living in a small city in Russia. Listening this AMAZING song and asking myself is my little dream still working the machine?

I believe this is the most meaningful and calming song Gorillaz made to date. This song always gives me in a good feeling even on rough days. Sometimes it gets me dancing haha. I do recommend this song to everyone who wants to have a good feeling if your having a rough day or just having a great day. Keep those 2010's beats rolling! ✌

This has been one of my top 3 for so many years It just keeps coming back to me ❤️
