3:14 Damon is just straight up vibing.

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

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

Damn this Damon Albarn guy sounds a lot like 2D

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

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

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

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

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

DAMON'S DANCING WHEN LITTLE DRAGON IS SINGING IS GOLD

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

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

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!

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.

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!!!

This arrangement of Empire Ants is so amazing.

3:14 dat damon dancing in the background like xD

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 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!

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

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.

I love how Damon is dancing and enjoying the music!

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 !

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

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

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!

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

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.

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

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.

With Mick Jones and Paul Simonon from the Clash !!

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

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

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

working the machine

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)

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

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

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

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

I was born in the right generation

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

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

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

Little Dragon isn't Noodle you guys.

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.

Her voice its beautiful

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

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

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.

Yukimi's voice is so beautiful

started getting chills at 2:25

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

I love how much all of them are feeling it.

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

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

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

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

damon dancing in the background lel

3:11 haha watch Damon 😂

gorillaz always sounds more powerful live

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

heheh little dragon surprised me she sold it alot more then i felt she would. just from her tone on the album i guess it made me think shed be a bit more withdrawn on stage. you can really tell they love working up on stage together too.. look at those jerks having all that fun! i wanna join >:(

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

The fkn unbelievable talent of all of them….

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

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

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

Little dragon sounds way cooler in the studio version, I don't think they added any effects to her mic

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

[Verse 1: 2-D] Oh, joys are us, 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 [Bridge: 2-D] And if the whole world is crashing down (on you) Fall through space out of mind with me [Verse 2: 2-D] Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising Blows all the shadows far away Is The falling of the whole empire, is here to hold you Rolling out and haunted till it sleeps [Hook: Yukimi Nagano] 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, empires 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, empires will fall Closing in on you, they're going on

Can we give a shout to how cool Paul Simonon is in this? Basist from the Clash just working the vibe not showboating.

Man gorillaz please come back

2023 con ansiedad social, tomandome unas coronas con los pies cruzados y desesperados pero feliz bailando esta canción les deseo todo lo lindo de la vida

And the thing goes TUTUTURUTUTURUTUTUTUTURUTUTUTUTUTU

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

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

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

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

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

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

The orchestra’s giving me goosebumps😭

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

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.

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

siempre poderosa y original, me llega hasta el centro

Como alguien dijo, necesito más canciones como esta en mi vida. XD!!!

Amo la vibra que transmite esta canción.

"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.

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

It's 1:30 in the morning 6 years later and I'm here still trying to figure out what Little Dragon is saying at the end ("soon like a wave empires will fall...closing in on ???? They're building a wall"???) no matter I still love her and Damon to bits

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.

I think one of the best Songs ever made by mankind!!😊🙏

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.

His voice is so beautiful

i was listening to this song everyday while i was searching for a job in a sunny days walking with my cv .. when i got the job i lost it bcz of this Quarantine and now here i am again listening to it

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

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