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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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...

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: 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*

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

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

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

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.

Every planet they reach isn't dead.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

JUST LIKE HEAVEN

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

robert smith is king and im so glad hes still making bangers on the alt music scene, also im so glad we are getting more animated gorillaz videos, 2020 is not all bad afterall, we got small blessings like this

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

Whenever I hear Robert Smith I just think of Regular Show

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

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

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

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

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

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 !*

I don't remember the moon being this pretty

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

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

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

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

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

No one gonna talk about Russel and how cute he is

My therapist: Don’t worry, the moon with Robert Smith’s face doesn’t exist. It can’t hurt you. The moon with Robert Smith’s face: 0:23

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

"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!

Gorillaz: Robert Smith: I'm the moon

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

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

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!

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

AYO🚀YOU🚀LEFT🚀MURDOC🚀BEHIND

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

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

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

I love how Russel wrote "Be the change" that's really inspiring in these dark times

I like how 2D's vocals echo because his head is in a helmet. Just the little details of these videos that always get me. Amazing song.

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”

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

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

1:50 is all the evidence i need that it is the Gorillaz who are putting the monoliths all over the place.

Seeing Robert Smith as the moon makes a lot of sense.

I've always loved The Cure and Gorillaz but never imagined them in a collab! This is epic

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

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

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

“Arrive early to this premiere... something special might be happening.” w h a t

1:52 *T H E M O N O L I F F* "Hey you guys, I'm just gonna walk into a monolith"

1:50 " is this one even an actual song at this point " 2:00 " ah yes, and a funky one "

I'm 62 and I like the Gorillaz. They rock. Keep them vids coming I " feel good" lol

whatever it is, its murdoc's fault.

That’s no moon. That’s Robert Smith

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

The last person who needs to interact with a monolith is Murdoc and here we are.
