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

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.

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

[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

ACE

GORILLAZ 1998 - 2008 - 2018 20th Anniversary Folks!

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.

my favorite from the new album

new gorillaz album im not gonna cry...

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

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.

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

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

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. :)

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.

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

this song is bullshit it said im not gonna cry and immediately after i started balling. you win again, Albarn. 11/10 would recommend.

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

I'm not gonna cry *Starts to cry*

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.

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.

Hooked straight from the start, jeez! Amazing

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

THIS SONG I LOVE AND MORE

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 💖💖💝💝

(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.

I’m not crying you’re crying

I love everything about Noodle including her fashion sense

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

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.

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.

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

Current mood: this song.

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

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.

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

OH MY GOD WHY IS THIS ALBUM SO GOOD

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

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.

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

Im bopping holy cow.

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

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.

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.

Im not gonna cry...

“I’m not gonna cry”.....I am ;-; 💕

0:01 i love this song

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

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.

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

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

*City's breaking down on a camel's back*

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

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

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

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

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.

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'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.

Adoro ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

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

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

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.

Saying “I’m not gonna cry” is a surefire way to make yourself cry

This aesthetic please

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

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

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 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...

MY FAVOURITE FROM THE ALBUM

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

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".

I love how this album was 2D expressing his feelings and I just find that perfect

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

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

I live in Kansas and my favorite band made a song about it 😳

Has it been 3 years since this song came out? time passes very fast ...

This makes me picture someone trying to stand strong and keep moving on but they are weeping at how painful it is.

i listened to the live version of this album constantly before it came out. this was my favorite song. when i listened to the studio album, i was completely composed until this song came on. i heard the bass and literally lost it and started sobbing. i was so happy. i adore this song so much, listening to this album the first time probably made me the most euphoric ive ever been.

why is this kansas but this is not ar-kansas

Boi I'm so excited 👏

I want to hug this album…

Who ever dislikes this song and this band doesn't know the real songs and bands out there in the world

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!

probably my favorite song off the now now

added to my Kansas appreciation playlist

Easily my new favorite song

This song makes me feel better about so much shit I've been though, loosing my job, my fiance dumping me, moving back to a shitty town, living in some shitty hostel and only getting to see my 3 year old son every few hours once every 2 weeks. Thanks Gorillaz.

just got started with gorillaz and this album the NOW NOW is lovely

I love this song it’s one of my favorites of all time! So groovy!

Ace is my favorite powerpuff girl!
