Fun Fact: The trumpet section on Strange Timez was played by Damon’s 9-year-old niece. “I was like, ‘You play the trumpet, come on. Come into the studio and do something.’ And she did that". #SongMachine -@DamonUnofficial

Fun fact: Robert Smith was not actually edited onto the moon, he was always the moon.

Murdoc: *disappears* Rest of the band: Oh no! Anyway...

Robert Smith doesn't get older, he just gets more British...

im super excited to see 2D's mustache once it grows out

Can we talk about how Robert Smiths voice hasn't changed since the 80s?

2D: wait it's all Robert Smith. Murdoc: *cocks gun* always has been

If I had a penny for everytime Murdoc took a psychodelic trip through space I'd have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Noodle: I feel like we forgot something. 2d: if you forgot it, it’s probably not important Noodle: yeah Murdoc: *where the bloody hell is my Winnebago*

Plot Twist: Damon and Jamie actually payed an inhuman amount of money to actually write *BE THE CHANGE* on the moon. Keep an eye out tonight

"One small step for Gorillaz, one giant leap for humanity"

Fun fact: 2d doesn’t even have a drivers license. He’s driving without one.

Look, there's a billboard on the moon ~ Magic City, The Now Now

They weren’t kidding when in Magic City they said, “Look, there’s a billboard on the moon”

Every planet they reach isn't dead.

After all this years the voice of Robert Smith hasn't changed a bit, what a legend.

2d: strange timez russell: be the change murdoc: creepy portal noodle: *toot toot*

Murdoc's finally travelling into space in an actual spacecraft rather than a bath, I'm so proud 🤧

There's no sound in space... They are all singing to them selves in their suits and everyone else is just vibing

This song feels like being in a dance club while the world is ending. It’s fast paced and feels grotesque but beautiful in its own way.

Noodle 2001: Sings about shoeshine Noodle 2020: Fires of a nuke on the surface of the moon

2001: Geep 2005: Windmill 2010: Stylo car/submarine 2020: Space winnebago

First thought when you see a billboard on the moon: *_Make it explode._*

Murdoc: wait, it’s all Robert Smith? Robert Smith: always has been

Therapist: Robert Smith moon isn't real and can't hurt you. Robert Smith Moon: 🌚

Murdoc: *Gets lost in space* Everyone else: *He’s aight*

There's no denying Damon Albarn is a genius. Shame he and Bowie never collaborated on a song that would've been great.

Murdoc: [ *touches robert's face* ] Robert: *So you have chosen death.*

If I had a dollar for every time Murdoc found himself soaring through a brightly colored hellscape, I’d have $2. It’s not much but it’s strange that it’s happened twice.

You know him as the front man of one of the most influential acts of all time, and now he's transcended all that to literally become the moon...

2:54 when you have headphones on, you can hear the background melody spinning around you

They weren't even kidding, there WAS a billboard on the moon.

JUST LIKE HEAVEN

Whenever I hear Robert Smith I just think of Regular Show

Robert Smith collabs with Gorillaz. A great day for humanity.

Therapist: Moon faced Robert Smith isn't real, it can't hurt you... *Moon faced Robert Smith:*

“I’m on the goddamned moon”-Russel Hobbs 2020

Remember: Murdoc is 54 years old 2d is 42 years old Russel is 45 And Noodle is 30 I swear to god, if you make me edit this post 1 more time.

I love that one moment of Noodle's absolute fascination and then the next moment she just has the murder in her eyes and she blows it up.

Why is this giving me some " Every Planet We Reach Is Dead" vibes

Man Noodle has grown up a lot since she was dancin around with a giant head in her closet.

i swear if i don’t see “Be The Change” on the moon tonight i’m going to explode.

Good to know Robert Smith is doing well after beating Mecha-Streisand

Let’s appreciate that Murdoc didn’t show his pickle in space this time

THERAPIST: the moon isn´t giving any messages to you. The moon: BE THE CHANGE

Some artist’s voices get worse with age. Some get better. And some don’t need to change at all because they are already absolute gleaming perfection. Rob Smith possesses the latter. Nice work, all involved.

They did it again. Almost every gorillaz song that I didn’t like at first has grown on me a lot. Awesome visuals too.

NOODLE BLOWS UP "a billboard on the moon" which is sung in magic city. Murdoc is "on a high ridge looking down" also sung in magic city coincidence...... i THINK NOT

Was Noodle blowing up the billboard a reference to Magic city? “Look there’s a billboard on the moon”

2D wasn't lying, there IS a billboard on the moon.

I don’t remember the magic school bus being like this 👁👄👁

Noodle and 2-D look bizarre without their iconic hair styles showing.

"And far away I hear the sound of someone out there singing" Probably Murdoc cuz y'all left his ass on the moon

Russel going against 37 laws of physics and taking a drift at The Moon: *hell yeah*

I don't remember the moon being this pretty

Murdoc: gets sucked into a black void 2d russel and noodle: “aight imma head out”

2:54 Murdoc was The Impostor 0 Impostors remain

"I've decided to go to the ONE place that hasn't been corrupted by soulless corporate musicians... SPAACE!"

I absolutely hated this song when I heard it for the first time. According to Spotify my 50th stream was on September 13th. It has now become my top streamed song of 2020.

2-D: Wait, it's all Robert Smith? Murdoc: Always has been.

Murdoc in the machine bites talking about how he doesn’t care for portals but as soon as he sees one on the moon he’s all up in there I can’t

You can freak me out, you can throw me in a rocket ship.

3:23 I like how Jamie credits that high pitched melody synth instrument to Noodle

This song almost has a a David Bowie like energy, it doesn’t sound like a specific sound but it has that energy.

Gorillaz: Robert Smith: I'm the moon

Literally almost every frame can be a wallpaper or poster image. This is magnificent.

I'm speeding through the forest, strange echoes of Belarus .Where presidents pin badges on disconnected youth... This is a big problem in our country, thank you for finding a place in your song to help us

Gorillaz: “there’s a billboard on the moon” Me: I guess there is

None’s talking about how this song is 60% 2001: A Space Odyssey’s references?

"I'm speeding through the forest, strange echoes of Belarus Where presidents pin badges on disconnected youth" Thanks you guys that noticed that. And greetings to you from Belarus!

Spinnin' around the world at night Spin around in black and white Spinnin' around 'til the sun comes up Strange time to see a light I think I've fallen onto silken thread, my head is spinning Suspended in a twilight void, that keeps on giving The looping dervish in the lodge is lost within the ringing Far away I can hear the sound of someone out there singin' I'm speeding through the forest, strange echoes of Belarus Where presidents pin badges on disconnected youth What would you be dreaming of? No horse play, no diving Cutting glass with scissors, whilst the great leader's reclining In golden hallways where we spin The faithful will be silent Existing or not? At the same time, spinning Spinnin' around the world at night (strange times) Spin in and out of sight Spinnin' around until the sun comes up (I helped you feel good) Strange time to turn it on Spinning around the world at night Spin around in black and white Spinning around until the Sun comes up Strange times, to see a light Battle war of the worlds, surgical glove world, bleach thirsty world I'm twitching in the grimy heat, I think I might be spinning Here we go on degrading No horse play, no diving Cuttin' glass with scissors, whilst the great leaders- Spinnin' around until the sun comes up Strange time to turn it on Spinnin' around the world at night Spin around in black and white Spinnin' around until the sun comes up Strange time to see a light Strange time (strange time) To be alive Strange time (strange time) To be alive

Things that dont age: Gorilaz members and Robert Smith 's voice... ❤

No one gonna talk about Russel and how cute he is

whatever it is, its murdoc's fault.

Robert Smith sounds exactly the same as the 80s! We need more Gorillaz songs with guests of his caliber.

This one feels particularly like those more "hidden" songs of the first album, like New Genius or Gravity.

Song: talks about how some people feel very lonely during these times, about the strange events going on, politics, protests and more, trying to do its best to describe to the viewers Murdoc: ha ha lem me toch it

Russel: Hey, where did Murdoc go? Noodle: I saw him approaching that weird black pilar. 2D: I think it ate him. Russel: ... Noodle: ... 2D: Well, let's go home! :D Edit: Im surprised this got so many likes. Thanks mates

Murdoc in 2017: The Bath Murdoc in 2020: *The Moon*

I love how dissonant the synth is. It reminds me of the dangers of space, which is what this song is about. It’s cool!

I'm in tears, Gorillaz collaborated with Robert Smith?! I haven't felt this excited about a Gorillaz release for a long time. Bring it on!

So nobody gonna talk about how they just left murdoc on the moon? I didn't see him in the ship when they left... Edit: just finished the latest sound byte: THE PICKLE IS FINE

As with every gorillaz song First time hearing: “eh, it’s okay I guess” Second time: “damn, this is kinda lit” Third time: “my god this is amazing” Fourth time: “okay it’s my new favourite song”

Murdoc can never stay away from portals. It takes me back to 2010 on Plastic Beach he kept talking about Wizard's portal

I am going to sit here staring at this screen for 23hours straight

The fact that Gorillaz is making songs in really hard times makes me smile.

Lyrics: [Chorus: Robert Smith] Spinnin' around the world at night Spin around in black and white Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up Strange time to see the light [Verse 1: 2D] I think I've fallen onto silken thread, my head is spinning Suspended in a twilight web that keeps on giving The looping dervish in the lodge is lost within the ringing Far away, I can hear the sound of someone out there singing I'm speeding through the forest, strange echoes of Belarus Where presidents pin badges on disconnected youth What would you be dreaming of? No horseplay, no diving Cutting grass with scissors, whilst the great leaders reclining In golden hallways where we spin, the faithful will be silent [Interlude: 2D] Existing and not At the same time Spinning [Pre-Chorus: Robert Smith & (2D)] Spinnin' around the world at night (Strange times) Spin in and out of sight Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up (I helped you feel good) Strange time to turn it on [Chorus: Robert Smith] Spinning around the world at night Spin around in black and white Spinning around until the Sun comes up Strange time to see the light [Verse 2: 2D] Bottled water world, surgical glove world, beach washing world I'm twitching in the grimy heat, I think I might be spinning The unicorn degrading, no horseplay, no diving Cuttin' grass with scissors, whilst the great leaders [Pre-Chorus: Robert Smith] Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up Strange time to turn it on [Chorus: Robert Smith] Spinnin' around the world at night Spin around in black and white Spinnin' around until the Sun comes up Strange time to see the light [Outro: Robert Smith & (2D)] Strange time (Strange time) to be alive Strange time (Strange time) to be alive

Russel writing on the moon "be the change" killed me

Why can I already see the “always has been” memes coming

Damons 9yo niece, Etta, is the one who played the trumpet! So cute

Part of me is stunned, how well Robert Smith fits into this picture. The other part of me isn´t surprised at all. Beautifully creepy track and a hell of a build up right here. And when that beats drops I´m ready to go through walls.

I'm from Belarus, and I listened to Gorillaz as a teenager. In those days they were recorded on cassettes. If someone told me then that you would mention the events in Belarus in your song, I would not believe it. Thanks for what you are doing.

Why is no one talking about how good robert smith was here 😞

A fan with every song: First time hearing it: Eh, not bad Second time: It's actually good Third time: Im adding this to the playlist Fourth time: *S P I N N I N ' A R O U N D T H E W O R L D A T N I G H T !*

The glow up from young Noodle having a bong sound effect in the intro to Left-hand Suzuki Method To Noodle HITTING A BONG IN A SPACESUIT IN SPACE lmao Something I didnt know I need till today
