Song was so damn good that they named a state after it

How to listen to a Gorillaz song. Step 1: Put on headphones Step 2: Curl up into a ball Step 3: Try not to cry Step 4: Cry a lot

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.

"Am I incapable of healing?" really hits hard.

new gorillaz album im not gonna cry...

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.

[Chorus:] I'm not gonna cry I got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream Am I incapable of healing? 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 [Chorus:] I'm not gonna cry I got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream 'Cos 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 [Chorus:] 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 [Bridge:] But if I got it right, you'd tell me And if I was wrong, then I disappear But I'm incapable [Chorus:] 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 song is bullshit it said im not gonna cry and immediately after i started balling. you win again, Albarn. 11/10 would recommend.

Kansas - Carry On Wayward Son: Don't you cry no more Gorillaz - Kansas: I'm not gonna cry woah, that's a good reference

GORILLAZ 1998 - 2008 - 2018 20th Anniversary Folks!

Ace is killing it in this album damn !!

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.

my favorite from the new album

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

”I’m not gonna cry”... sounds like me when I’m listening to this song :’(

I'm not gonna cry I got more time to give I'm not gonna cry Find another dream Am I incapable of healing? 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

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. :)

(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.

This is an accurate depiction of me loosing all my diamonds in lava

I love everything about Noodle including her fashion sense

Listening to "Kansas" in "kansas" just hits different

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.

Moving to Kansas in a month, and you better believe I'm bumping this when I cross the border.

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.

When your favorite band names a song after your state that literally no one cares about 😎😎😎

I’m not crying you’re crying

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.

This song has slowly climbed its way up to being one of my favorite Gorillaz songs. What a beautiful song.

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.

This is amazing. One of my favorite albums. Makes me want to cry.

I'm not gonna cry *Starts to cry*

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.

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 💖💖💝💝

this song makes me cry...2ds voice is too angelic in this

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.

ACE

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.

me: i'm not gonna cry 2d: i'm not gonna cry me: alright, i will cry

Hooked straight from the start, jeez! Amazing

I'M GONNA CRY, becouse this song is a treasure.

Current mood: this song.

I think everyone knows the pain of knowing someone or something hurt them but still missing them so badly,,

When you're from Kansas and had Gorillaz's first album on cassette, then they release a song called Kansas.

THIS SONG I LOVE AND MORE

esta canción me hace sentir sentimental, es super linda esta canción. esta canción es tan relajante y fresca

"i'm not gonna cry ..." me when i saw all the Gorillaz uploads on one day

0:01 i love this song

OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS ALBUM SO GOOD

Okay this is definitely a relationship song and you can hear how hurt 2D is again once again I'm going to cry

Gorillaz- wait for the live stream with our new track! Nice tactic tho xD

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.

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.

"so I can breathe again, photosynthesize again" is so damn good

this album reminds me a little bit of the fall for some reason. maybe its the state song titles?

Ace is my favorite powerpuff girl!

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

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.

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 want to cry this but I’m not gonna cry..

Im not gonna cry...

Im bopping holy cow.

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.

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 ;-; 💕

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...

Sin duda es mi favorita de este álbum

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

I never noticed noodle’s button on her jacket is glowing in every visual.

This aesthetic please

Adoro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

WOW!! the music..

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

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

"I don't think we're in Kansas anymore, Murdoc . . . ."

I love this song so much, it's so chill and beautiful

MY FAVOURITE FROM THE ALBUM

Almost five years later and I’m still happy that my home state was recognized by one of my favorite bands

This song really inspired me to keep drawing, it’s frustrating just to cry about my depressing life. Thankfully, I’ve been following you guys for several years and each album is gold for me. I’m so glad you guys exist and you definitely impacted my life and choices all together. Thank you.

It's nice to see Damon taking inspiration from Luigi's Mansion.

why is this kansas but this is not ar-kansas

This is an accurate depiction of us introverts here in quarantine! 😓

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".

probably my favorite song off the now now

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 ♥

Sad to admit I’m late to the gorillaz train. Ofc I grew up with all of their hits but no one told me that pretty much every song is a straight BANGER

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.

Boi I'm so excited 👏

Okay but at 0:55 I can't stop hearing "I'm on my Tally Hall"

Es bueno ver a Gorillaz sacar un nuevo album..................

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

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.

Easily my new favorite song

Unas de mis favoritas de el album ♥

*_"I'm on my journey home with no fuel, alone"_* Wew that snatches my wig!

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.

esta musica es un tesoro :(

"I'm not gonna cry" well not me, this album is too beautiful not to

Take this frickin song, illegally download it onto my PC, transfer it into an SD card, crush it up into a fine dust, melt it, and then inject it into the spinal cord of my clinically depressed joke of a body. Please

I love this song so fucking much that I'm actually crying right now Omg 😭❤️
