i love the distorted wind sounds in the background, adds so much atmosphere to the song

When I was a teen, I used to work at logistics as a summer job and they had a container who made exactly the same air-sound as this song. I used to whistle that song all summer long.

remember I picked this abum up when I was 13, I'm 27 now n still loving every track.

"can't stand your loneliness" "It makes me sick to think that you ain't happy in your skin" Gorillaz out here talking to us directly

God, their self-titled is amazing. I love all of their songs :)

Even after listening to every Gorillaz track, released or not, this one is still without a doubt one of my top 3 favourites. It's just so peaceful and calm. Perfect music to listen to when your plane is taking off early in the morning, and you can see the sunrise over the clouds.

This song makes me feel chill asf

Love the piano riff the most. And the noot noot sound effects make it even better

i actually cant believe how amazing this entire album is

Underrated as hell.

No one gonna talk about 0:47. That part is amazing.

This album is underrated as hell. One of my favorites of all time, and my favorite Gorillaz album.

this and so many other songs that didn't get the spotlight unlike Clint eastwood and feel good inc, I am glad to be a gorillaz fan bcuz all of their songs are equally as great as each other

I asked my parents to get me this cd at Tower Records, Las Vegas the year it came out. Jeez, I must've been 9 or 10 years old then. At that time, we had two homes, one in Las Vegas, NV and one in central California (where my dad worked). We would travel back and forth at least twice a month by car. I had a cheap portable disc player and would listen to this CD the whole six hour drive; laying down on the back seat, watching falling stars across the cold desert skies. A blur of good childhood memories.

This takes me back to December 2001 when I got this album , sat in my room with the CD player on playing Slow country and watching the traffic driving on the snow. Great memories

The most underrated song of the album

This has been my favorite Gorillaz song for years, it's so calming yet melancholy. It describes how i feel whenever i get out of a deep depression but i still have some depression still looming over me, i feel free yet still not great really

Damon, you probably won't see this, but I need to tell you. I'm 31 years old now, an American through and through, and this first Gorlillaz album has helped to shape my life. From teenage years of trying to make out, through college, and dealing with more serious life issues, to now. I'm in my 30s, and still love this stuff after a hard day's work. Cheers.

0:07 I was like "WAIT I KNOW THIS SONG!!" as someone who is just getting into Gorillaz, I keep hearing songs and already knowing them!

Was eight when I first heard this album. Back then you still had album's and casettes, music stores in the mall, etc. My dad was so proud that I had a great taste in music. He was a good man.

Every time i listen Gorillaz i remember the saddest days in my life,Gorillaz music help me.

[Verse 1 : 2D] City life Calling me all the time Me and my soul Geared to attack Never get another chance So what you doing Gotta get money Can't quite do it [Hook : 2D] Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness [Verse 2 : 2D] Should night life Be trying not to laugh though You won't get money From doing what you loving I'm moving out of city Victor of a second chance Get a lot of problems We kicked a lot of them [Hook : 2D] Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand your loneliness, no not the loneliness

Would fall asleep to this in my cd player when I was younger. Such an amazing track

Slow Country (feat. pingu)

Listening to this on vacation, standing on the balcony and watching the view around you is really a different feeling, amazing track and my favorite along with Starshine

For some reason the sound of the wind on the background made me feel nervous the first time I listened to this, but now I'm used to listen to it, I focus on the piano at the first part, I love it!

This is their best song.

Listening to this reminds me of a time where I was carefree and could just go outside and enjoy the nice summer weather. Now I'm just cooped up inside worrying about bills and finding a new place to live.. *Edit; Thank you guys ❤️ Things are getting better, even during a crisis like this. I hope you guys are staying safe. ❤️

I can't help but hear "Diego, Diego" in the opening sample. Te extraño, D10S

i used to walk to the park down the house from my dad's and listen to this song on my old mp3 player. i would sing along quietly. the yelps in the background for some reason have always made me feel so emotional.

Would play this song everytime on the way home on a long roadtrip. Always felt right. Makes me feel at ease from my anxiety. 💋❤

the specials sample, that bass line C note change, the outro with the falsetto and inspired on reggae ... these are the best things about it

I just listened to Slow Country for the first time in awhile and god damn lol when I first got into Gorillaz (January 2022) I was in a bad place mentally, my grandma moved out of the house, we just had my grandpa’s memorial and winter depression was really eating at me I live in Minnesota so it gets to be -30 degrees Fahrenheit so it really does get to you, but anyways after I found Gorillaz I would listen to their first album all the time on repeat, it took me away from everything and I would just use their music to cope, I remember listening to Slow Country so much that winter, being so cold and numb everyday, the same thing over and over, the freezing bus ride to school, going to the same classes, getting home and laying in bed waiting for it to repeat again, I listened to that damn album so much. It used to take me away from everything but now it just brings me back, Slow Country really gets me because the lyrics describe shitty, repetitive, lonely city life, I kinda felt like that was me in a way. It’s weird I’ve never really felt that way with a song

i love this song so very much. to me, it's representative of more than just a song; it transports me back to my teenage years. i still vividly recall the first time i'd ever heard it: four of my friends and myself were driving around on lonesome country roads at about four in the morning, passing a blunt and bullshitting about everyday life as the soft orange glow of the backwoods streetlights slowly passed by. we were a large group of friends that gradually whittled down into smaller and smaller groups as the years passed. some of those friends are still around, some moved to other sides of the country, shit, some of them are dead. but whenever i hear this song, the visage of their faces and the timbre of their voices instantly comes back to me, as though not a day had passed. funny how the brain works; certain arbitrary things seem to unlock memories that you had otherwise thought to be long-since abandoned. nostalgia is great, but the melancholy nature of it sometimes becomes difficult to bear.

You know if a Gorillaz starts with wind, you’re in for a good time

1:16 I think I heard feel good

I remember me and my younger brother staying up late in the Summer of 2001, with MTV on the Television when the ‘Clint Eastwood’ video came out of nowhere. We both literally had an almost visceral reaction. We’d never heard or seen anything like that before. I got the Album the next week. I’ll never, ever forget those minutes of awe. Minutes of awe we both remember vividly to this day. I recall listening to this track in particular on the morning School bus ride to my 6th Grade class in Oklahoma USA on September 11, 2001. Even more vividly on that same bus ride home that day. This album is to me the musical bookmark of that awesome Pre-9/11 Summer and then the world changing on 9/11. The Gorillaz were delivered by the Universe at the exact place and exact moment in time we needed them. This album is as fresh and meaningful in 2024 as it was in 2001. Thank you Universe 🙏

This take me back to simpler times in my youth just riding around with my friends all of us laughing enjoying life

"can't stand your loneliness" hits different when you've been lonely for years and years. never truly allowed to be yourself. every relationship ending in either separation or death. and there's nothing i can do about it. but at the same time i like the solitude. so much less draining.

Yeees! This is rad!! You're all alive!! My body is ready for Phase 4!!

Weres my eel WERE MY EEL

this song is incredibly good I listen to it almost everyday. definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.

the first time i was introduced to this song was in a video some guy was talking about how good the song was (at this time wasn't really into Gorillaz just kinda casual fan) and he played a bit of the song and when I heard the little bit it instantly grabbed my attention and I was like woah. then I finished the video and listened to the whole song and It just brought out so many emotions good and bad cause I was still going through a pretty tough break up so I was weak and the song just sounded so amazing I fell to my knees and cried my eyes out. I was in awe. this song changed my life. it got me more into Gorillaz and I thank slow country for that. thank you slow country. this song gives me such a melancholy and chill vibe. like watching the sunset paint the air gold over a pasture in June listening to the faint sound of bugs buzzing about filling the sky with distant sound of crickets and locusts as I sit on my porch watching the sun fall.jeez man I could talk about this song all day

Of every Gorillaz song in existence, now and in the future; this one has been, and will always be, my absolute favorite.

This song reminds me when I’m on a road trip to a different state

That synth is what gets me ascending LIKE IT DOESNT HAVE TO GO THAT HARD 😭😭😭🔥🔥🔥

Thank you gorillaz for bringing us all joy and happiness in our dark lonely lives all these years,For me it's been from age 15 to now 34 and you got me through SO many bad times,We all love you.

this is one of the only albums ive seen where every single track on it is an absolute hit.

compared to Humanz, Damon sounds so much younger and i cri everytim

SLOW COUNTRY, YOU ARE UNDERRATED, BUT I LOVE U

This album will always be great, when my dad gave it to me i was really happy, i couldn't stop playing it

They're alive!!

Actually one of the best Gorillaz songs of all time

What a little hidden gem this song is. Just love the "ooh ooh" sounds :D

I listen to this when I'm Really Depressed

this is like that one song that you just leave play, it just feels like a cozy song. like i would listen to it when i'm going to sleep, or if it's snowing outside, or if you just want to chill out. it's calming :]

This song make me feel so alive and happy. I miss you Gorillaz :c I waiting the new album♡

man this is some animal crossing rainy day shit

this song has a synth solo damon knows has to win me over

3:02 I love that so much. The way he sings it, then the smooth transition into the piano. MMM.

I was told to listen to this and the first ten seconds got me like: "Wut" Next ten seconds got me like: "WHAT" Twenty seconds after that got me like: "I LIKE THIS!!!"

Gorillaz taught me one thing Listen to albums from beginning to end

THEY'RE BACK

Honestly I’ve been listening to this band since I was 9 and watching it grow (new albums, more art, u get the idea) is so fun

Whenever I hear a new Gorrilaz song, I can't stand it. The next time I hear it, it becomes a masterpiece. I think that's a good sign.

Love this song so much. I love that they sampled like less than 2 seconds of the intro of The Specials - Ghost Town to make the entire song.

OMG!! They are uploading all the songs now!!! ^^

14 yrs old on the school bus, this song was my best friend.

NOOT NOOT

this is THE song to listen to while you stare at big city lights at night, it's so magical it doesn't even feel real

Yes! There uploading all of demon days, plastic beach and the fall for free!

*its pretty windy here*

It took me a while to get into Gorillaz, but this song sealed the deal. Still my fave - just speaks to me.

this is my 4th night in a row staying up all night til 6 am, and playing this song as the sun rises is so incredible

Nostalgia af! I was 5 years old in 2001 when I discovered Gorillaz and I had this album. I remember here in Houston there was a tropical storm and I sat in my room watching the rain while this song played over and over. Idk the distortion in this song was a vibe lol. I’m 26 now and still jam to their songs

The way they used this sample from Ghost Town by The Specials just amazes me.. so good

One of the greatest Gorillaz tracks to date. Very underrated

This one speaks deeply to my 10 year old self. I can’t explain it.

this one of my favorite album and this song bring back memories

I love the synthetic piano

While you kinda depressing, Gorillaz make you sad, happy, and makes you feel a lil' retro 90's vibe with this music btw

Unpopular Opinion: "Gorillaz" is better than "Demon Days"

Probably my favorite Gorillaz track of all time. One of my favorite albums from my youth. The first 3 Gorillaz albums (self titled, demon days and plastic beach) are just fantastic.

It's a sign people

This takes me back down my childhood memory lane.

De lo obscuro del grupo con el toque alegrón ,me encanta escuchar este tema desde los 14 ,hoy en día dobló la edad..

I can’t help but cheese so hard when this song comes on, it’s so great

IM EXCITED FOR THEIR PHASE 4 IDENTS AHH

This remains the best song on the album. One of the best Gorillaz tracks, period. I used to play it-way too often-on KJHK, Lawrence (KS).

City life Calling me all the time Me and my soul Geared to attack Never get another chance So what you doing Gotta get money Can't quite do it Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness Should night life Be trying not to laugh though You won't get money From doing what you loving I'm moving out of city Victor of a second chance Get a lot of problems We kicked a lot of them Can't stand your loneliness Can't stand loneliness... Can't stand your loneliness, can't stop the loneliness

once again, simple song with a great beat and a great feeling, as usual!!! beautiful and original!

noot noot

I've always loved this song. Very atmospheric

this is a good song to listen to if you just lay down and look at the clouds

This is one of my favorite songs by them. 💖💖 It's just so relaxing.

Fun fact: this is Tyler The Creator's favourite Gorillaz track.

I love those dubby lowdown basslines the gorllaz always find a way to provide to my ears

"Get a lot of problems. Get a lot of problems." :( "Can't stand your loneliness". I never realized how heart breaking this song is until right meow.

I'm a new fan and love the underrated songs like this

This sound like you’re walking into a gas station at 4AM
