"Alexa, play Souk Eye by Gorillaz" "Sorry, can't find Souki by Gorillaz" "Alexa, play Souk Eye by Gorillaz" "Sorry, can't find Soup Eye by Gorillaz"

What if Gorillaz has been Jamie's Powerpuff Girls Fanfic the whole time?

Top 3 favorite tracks off the album: 1. Souk Eye 2. Humility 3. Fire Flies

Humility: Wow! Murdoc is gone! Souk Eye: I kinda miss Murdoc...

How could you hear this and say Gorillaz lost their sound after demon days. This song is one of my favorite gorillaz tracks already. Takes you to a lovely place.

The fact that this song didn't get a music video is a crime. I feel like Souk Eyes and Fireflies could've really had something beautiful- those two songs and ESPECIALLY this one just feel like one in a million to me. Tranz video was still great and it was still a great song, It just hurts a little we never got to see this song in the art form it deserves. Such a beautiful song by an amazing band.

This song needs a music video it's hauntingly good

I'm actually glad that Gorillaz' style has developed. They aren't Feel Good Inc. and Clint Eastwood anymore, they're just Gorillaz. I'm so glad that they've gotten to where they are now, and I don't care if anyone compares their music from today to their most popular music. People develop, bands develop, Gorillaz has developed, and that's okay. I like the old and the new.

I feel bad for all the people who don’t know about Gorillaz.

My ex girlfriend and I loved to listen to Gorillaz together, this being our favorite album, this was her favorite song in general and off the album. The reason we broke up is because she passed away on September 10th of last year. I'm thankful for Gorillaz for both bringing me closer to her and helping me cope with her death, I'm glad to report that one year from her death I am pre-ordering the new Gorillaz Album, it seems almost perfect that the day I was gonna celebrate her death and be depressed all day, Gorillaz would give me a reason to keep going on. So Sarah, if you ever see this, wherever you are, just know that I will always think about you.

Fun fact: this the favourite song of the kid who voices gumball

Imagine the other members' reactions to 2D as he was recording this And imagine how Murdoc must've felt after hearing this song

Everyone: OH MY GOD THE SONG IS ABOUT MURDOC!!!!!!!! Me, an intellectual: It's about the eel

Fire Flies and Souk Eye need an MV now, both are perfect.

Gorillaz: The First One Demon Days: The Best One Plastic Beach: The Trippy One Humanz: The Collaborative One The Now Now: The Peaceful One The Fall: The Bonus One G-sides: The Mixed One D-sides: The Mixed Mixed One

if this song really is about missing murdoc, then their facial expressions match the theme too. noodle looks content that he’s gone, russel looks happy, 2-D looks upset and confused about missing murdoc, and ace just looks happy to be part of the band

Lyrics: [Verse 1: 2-D] LA why you're so complicated for me, twilight Waiting on the planet to turn to me, dark side If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade, riding Trying to find tomorrow ain't easy 'til you dive in (Swimming pools) [Verse 2: 2-D] Why you rolling waves over me now, that's all I need, dreaming Waiting on LA to come find me, be forgiven I'll be a regular guy for you, I never said I'd do that Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you so sad? [Chorus] I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back on my way through [Verse 3: 2-D] I wanna stay with you for a long time, I want to be stone love I wanna see LA in your eyes when I'm leaving with your love [Chorus] I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back, 'cause I got to run soon [Outro] I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back on my way through

This song just radiates pure emotion and makes me feel strong deja vu for something I've never even experienced.

TOP TIER TRACK

this song is the mood when you're vibin and cryin at the same time

I'm 30yrs old and this song makes me feel like I'm still 16. I don't know why, but I feel much younger when listen to this. Brilliant track.

"I'll wait to be forgiven Maybe I never will My star has left me To take the bitter pill That shattered feeling well the cause of its a lesson learned" -Murdoc wrote To Binge "come find me, be forgiven I'll be a regular guy for you, I never said I'd do that Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you're so sad? I will always think about you that's why I'm calling you back on my way through" - 2D wrote Souk Eye

Bro I can't overstate how much I adore this song it isn't even funny

2:50 this instrumental or whatever is mind-blowing to me, it’s so unique and sick

This is so damn beautiful honestly. Damon and Jamie have outdone themselves, I'm so proud of them. They deserve all the praise in the world.

"Why you looking so beautifull to me now When you are So Sad?" *Replanting life*

This one should be on level with Clint Eastwood and Feel good inc

This song is really what it feels like to be slowly delving into a toxic relationship feels like. I remember staying up at night with a lot of heartbreak with my ex and feeling heard through this song, and I always will remember how that feels like to this day through it.

If your also a depressed person at midnight listening to this. You’re not alone.

[Verse 1: 2-D] LA why you're so complicated for me, twilight Waiting on the planet to turn to me, dark side If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade, riding Trying to find tomorrow ain't easy 'til you dive in (Swimming pools) [Verse 2: 2-D] Why you rolling waves over me now, that's all I need, dreaming Waiting on LA to come find me, be forgiven I'll be a regular guy for you, I never said I'd do that Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you so sad? [Chorus] I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back on my way through [Verse 3: 2-D] I wanna stay with you for a long time, I want to be stone love I wanna see LA in your eyes when I'm leaving with your love [Chorus] I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back, 'cause I got to run soon [Outro] I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back on my way through

Lyrics: L.A, you're so complicated for me, twilight Waiting on the planet to turn to me, dark side If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade, riding Trying to find tomorrow ain't easy 'til you dive in Why you rolling waves over me now? That's all I need, dreaming Waiting on a lady, come find me, be forgiven I'll be a regular guy for you, I never said I'd do that Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you so sad? I will always think about you!!! That's why I'm calling you back on my way through ... I wanna stay with you for a long time; I wanna be stone, love I wanna see it lay in your eyes when I'm leaving with your love I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back, 'cause I got to run soon I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back on my way through...

LA why you so complicated for me, twilight Waiting on the planet to turn to me, dark side If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade, riding Trying to find tomorrow and ease in 'Til you dive in Why you rolling waves over me now, that's all I need, dreaming Waiting on a lady, come find me, be forgiven I'll be a regular guy for you, I never said I'd do that Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you're so sad? I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back On my way through I wanna stay with you for a long time, I wanna be your stone, love I wanna see it lay in your eyes when I'm leaving with your love I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back 'Cause I gotta run soon I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back On my way through

These lyrics are so romantic, I’m shook, how can 2D write such romantic lyrics and yet only currently have a “platonic” relationship with a fly (as per the q&a yesterday)

Anyway is so complicated for me, twilight Waiting on the planet to turn to me, dark side If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade, riding Trying to find tomorrow and ease in 'Til you dive in Why you rolling waves over me now, that's all I need, dreaming Waiting on a lady, come find me, be forgiven I'll be a regular guy for you, I never said I'd do that Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you're so sad? I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back On my way through I wanna stay with you for a long time, I wanna be your stone, love I wanna see it lay in your eyes when I'm leaving with your love I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back 'Cause I gotta run soon I will always think about you That's why I'm calling you back On my way through

I looked up the definition of souk. Souk is often confused with sook. one definition of Sook is: a person lacking spirit or self-confidence; a coward Who in the band is seen as most cowardly? 2D the lead singer. and not to mention, his eyes are very different than noodle's and Murdoc's. also Ace's. I'm sure this song is about how 2D feels about Murdoc despite how he was treated by him. "Murdoc 2.0" realizes this, hence his change in attitude after hearing the last song of the album. everyong thinks The Now Now is about 2d and murdoc's relationship, which is heavily implied. I think 2D showed Murdoc the album and the last song hit him hard, especially after being in jail for so long and immediately knew how 2D felt, finally, after hearing this song. overall: this song is a depressing bop about Stuart's internal feelings he hid away for so long

This is definitely my favorite song from the whole album

RIP THE DREAM OF SOUK EYE MUSIC VIDEO

“If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade”

2:52 I just love this instrumental part :D

Rip my boy Murdoc they just recorded their best album without him.

On a scale of 1 out of 10, I'd rate this a ∞/10.

4:10 2d sniffing, gotta protect the blue boy

one of my friends passed away last week, I know it wasn't the intention, but listening to the now now on repeat kinda helped me wrap my head around it all. can't thank you guys enough

This is easily my favorite song on the album and in the top 5 for best Gorillaz songs. Absolutely gorgeous and perfect closer.

Awww I thought the reason why the souk eye and tranz visualisers hadn't come out yet was cause there was gonna be music videos. Hope there still will be!!

Not gonna lie, I enjoyed The Now Now a lot more than Humanz.

This part 2:49 makes me feel in a way a can't even explain, is so beautiful

*Why all the songs are beautiful and peaceful? This sound magic*

There's so much emotion in this song and it definitely hits you where it hurts - in a good way, obviously. Absolutely beautiful song.

that is so sad but at the same time is so beautiful

that "i will always think about you" line pops into my head whenever i think about someone who is no longer with me/us. i don't just mean dead people. i also mean people who i no longer interact with, and people who seemingly disappeared off the internet.

2:50 must be among the best sounds i've heard in a song

pL ease.... s stop spinnign they are t.. tired.. please sto op spijnng they are tired

Most people say this is about 2D missing Murdoc but for me, it could also be Ace's thoughts about his short tenure with Gorillaz. 'If loving you's a felony now, then I'm a renegade' fits in with the fact many fans did not take kindly to Ace filling in for Murdoc while he was in jail. He even offers to change himself ('I'll be a regular guy for you') but this does not work with some hating him even more than before; however, he slowly gets some fans to appreciate him and give him a chance. 'I want to stay with you for a long time' represents that Ace was genuinely enjoying his time with Gorillaz and secretly hoping that he could be around for a little bit longer; this ultimately wouldn't work out with Murdoc returning. The line 'when I'm leaving with your love' can refer to the fact that, while he was just a temporary fill, Ace was ultimately looking for the approval/love of the fans while he was here. Finally, the chorus says the singer 'will always think about you..... 'cause I got to run soon'. Ace will always think positively about his time with the group and that he knows it's time for him to leave. Just my two cents. Like everyone else, this is easily in the top 3 best tracks from The Now Now.

Murdoc is not dead. He survived the sewer. "I'M GOING TO..... .....DIE" was a huge glitch or malfunction in Murdoc's phone because it was getting wet from the sewer. He really needed to type "I'M GOING TO FIND A DIFFERENT WAY" "MY PHONE IS GOING TO DIE" *_THE BATH PICKLE IS STILL ALIVE, BOIS_*

so hard not to think that Murdoc is gone when you wont stop listening to this song over and over again.

This song deserves a better visualizer, even a video.

million views as of july 20,2018 humility is the best opener as souk eye as the best closer

"Why you looking so beautiful to me now when you're so sad?" 1:39

Call me crazy, but this album may be a contender for best Gorillaz album alongside Demon Dayz. I've never seen this much consistent quality.

I actually cried to this song when I saw the visuals. Now I’m used to it’s melody. I cried because this gave me so much to think about from my past and how I am now.

Best song of the Album

Most people: “tHe NoW nOw HaS nO sToRy To It. GoRiLlAz StOpPeD bEiNg GoOd WhEn ThEy ReLeAsEd It” Me: actually it has a lot of story. 2D being happy about Murdoc being gone. Then his Stockholm syndrome getting to him and making him miss Murdoc. I can go into detail but I’m tired rn. I’ve been theorizing my whole life, I need sleep.

Nothing else on this album can even compare to how fuckin beautiful this song is, I swear.

Best ending for best album!

Was..was that a sniffle towards the end of the song?

Man... The Now Now is a beautiful thing. It's so interesting and heartfelt. It's good to see 2-D and Murdoc getting along more in Song Machine after he got out of jail and heard this.

okay i’m really late but this song is legitimately sad; 2D sounds almost broken his voice is really gravely and it sounds like he’s been crying this song can be a metaphor for him missing murdoc and the other show their emotions for it, almost as though they’re all happy about it beside 2D and that’s truely beautiful

I hate that i didn’t know the existance of this band until like 3 months ago i love their music

This song just makes me feel emotional, happy, sad, calm/relaxed

It has taken me months to realize how delightful this track is

When we actually learn 2D's friendship with Murdoc is the same as the one between Damon and Graham in Blur.. how Master Albarn, can you do that and still, write one of the last masterpieces of Gorillaz. Simply brilliant.

"Trying to find tomorrow..." but "Tomorrow comes today" 😎😉

It's crazy to say how underappreciated this band is.

2:48 ABSOLUTE HEAVENNN

Oh come on. We all wanted a music video for this Edit: I didn’t mean this seriously holy fuck. I know animation takes time and money since I do animation myself. I am happy for what we got this was a semi sarcastic comment. Yes I would have loved an animation for this but now I can think of my own scenarios for it. Holy Satan calm down

call me a baby but these two little lines used to make me cry every damn time 1:33

This song is just too beautiful. Damon's voice is so amazing in this album, so smooth and mesmerizing. I can't stop listening to this album and this song in particular.

0:15 that mellow background bop. Probably nothing to you guys, but its the little things

This song is my absolute favorite, haven’t been able to stop playing it. It’s so melancholic. A hopeful reminder. It makes me realize how long I’ve had Gorillaz music in my life. It makes me want to cry, but it makes me so damn happy. Thank you Damon & Jamie. edit: i'm still crying

Anyone else hear a faint 'Goodbye' at 4:05 ??

1st listen: what’s he hype about 2: it’s mediocre 3: I see why it’s popular 4: it’s good 5: it’s great 6: “I WILL ALWAYS THINK OF YOU”

This song is so intoxicating. You can feel the emotions...love...maybe some resentment...but overall love.

Easily one of my fav songs on the album. 2:50 onwards: Melodious Heaven

I feel like this version is more... distorted than the album version.

The end of this song is just so exhilarating, it's gotta be one of the best closers on any gorrilaz album. Tbh this is probably one of their best songs period

3:21 outro with those little bells and jingles is quite the banger!!!

Souk means Evil if you were wondering, so the title translates into “Evil Eye”

why am I crying in the club rn

1. Souk eye 2. Fire flies 3.Tranz 4.Humility 5.Hollywood

Souk Eye in the streets She's my Collar in the sheets

*Keep it coming!*

It's strange, I always end up getting emotional listening to this one. Something about the melody and the lyrics has moved my soul. Like, yeah at first it might sound funky and carefree, but if you listen longer to it, there's something sad about it.

" Murdoc, what's your favorite color? " Murdoc: "BLUUUEEE! Blue *(Ref to 2D hair Murdoc talks about ALOT)* and Green! *(Ref to Murdoc's skin, and that he's aware of it getting greener)* Mix it together you get turquoise! " || Questions to Murdoc when he was in jail: " How's 2D? " Murdoc: " He's been a lot of trauma in his life. Mostly from me, to be fair. I only hope he'll in his heart to *forgive me* " Lyrics in Souk eye, written by 2D (I think): " Waiting on a lady, come find me, *be forgiven* " More lyrics about *Jail* " If loving you's a *felony* now, then I'm a renegade " || More Questions: "How's 2D? " Murdoc: " He's never been better! I was just thinking he was missing me. " || A reply from Murdoc: "Right, better shoot off, Madge needs feeding. Not Madonna, the four-legged one - had her shipped back for a *pet for 2D* " || In the end of the music video "Dirty Harry" Murdoc is seen looking at a shirtless 2D smiling, see's that a kid is looking at 2D, and then smacks the kid in the back of the head. Prove me wrong, that this song is about the lovecoaster that these two have been on, and that 2D is confused on why he misses Murdoc.. I'll wait..

I like this song because it sounds like 2d saying “it’s ok” in his accent

holy shit is this song even real

Murdoc, the one that started gorillaz, REPLACED BY A POWERPUFF GIRLS CHARACTER.

This song makes me feel a really specific emotion that's hard to describe

this song starts up and i immediately start crying, i love it so much it’s genuinely one of the most beautiful songs i’ve ever heard

I dont even know which is my favorite at this point
