This song is criminally underrated

Depression is so isolating. Addiction so misunderstood. Being lost in a familiar place is hard to describe.

With To Binge, Empire Ants, Broken and Melancholy Hill I think I've cried enough for the rest of my life

Everyone is saying that they would listen to this song on the beach. Guys, this song is about a person suffering from depression

hi everybody. im on an adventure through all the gorrilaz songs. i wish you all a happy life. see ya

Murdoc sure is an odd creature. One moment he's writing songs like this. Next he's doing some weird shit like eating a boot

This song feels like being stranded in the middle of the ocean, floating aimlessly. Maybe someone will find you, maybe not, but it’s out of your hands at this point, and there’s a certain peace in complete helplessness

Some people are shutting down other people's ideas of listening to this on the beach because the meaning isn't a happy one. But the beach doesn't have to be happy either. I think the colours of. The setting sun and crashing of the waves and the wind could evoke tears of sadness as well as the feeling of happiness

You're by my side, but are you still with me? The answer is somewhere deep in it...

this song's effect on me was so weird , the first time I heard it it felt like a nice and relaxing tone but the more I hear it the song started to feel sadder and sadder , and now I find it a heartbreaking song , also why does it called to binge anyway .

That feeling when you remember that in the Gorillaz Universe, Murdoc wrote this entire album, and so that means that he wrote this that sounds like a relationship surrounding depression and alcoholism. It's just so damn sad. Murdoc, who hurt you °^°

Damn, they really nailed the whole "ocean vibe" with this album. This song sounds like the sea.

This album makes me just wanna sit down and draw...

[Yukimi Nagano:] Waiting by the mailbox, by the train Passin' by the hills 'til I hear the name I'm looking for a saw to cut these chains in half and all I want is Someone to rely on as Thunder comes a rolling down Someone to rely on as Lightning comes a staring in again [Damon Albarn:] 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 it's a lesson learned Just don't know if I could roll into the sea again "Just don't know if I could do it all again," she said, it's true [Yukimi Nagano:] Waiting in my room and I lock the door I watch the coloured animals 'cross the floor And I'm looking from a distance And I'm listening to the whispers And, oh, it ain't the same When you're falling out of feeling And you're ralling in and caught again Caught again [Damon Albarn:] I'm caught again in the mystery You're by my side, but are you still with me? The answer's somewhere deep in it, I'm sorry that you're feeling it But I just have to tell you that I love you so much these days Have to tell you that I love you so much these days, it's true [Damon Albarn (Yukini Nagano):] My heart is in economy Due to this autonomy Rolling in and caught again Caught again [Both:] Caught again Caught again Caught again My heart is in economy Due to this autonomy Rolling in and caught again Caught again

When I listen to a Gorillaz song, I usually picture 2D singing. In this though I can't, I only see Damon. It's weird.

man i hope one day i’ll meet someone who’ll listen to this type of stuff with me

“I’ll wait to be forgiven, maybe I never will. My star has left me” If Murdoc actually wrote these songs I think he would be writing about Noodle being missing and the whole El Mañana incident, and he knew it was his fault so he felt horrible about it. It really hits me in the heart knowing he sees her as a daughter..

So can I just talk about how much I love plastic beach for a minute? Not only are the songs pure eargasms, but the lyrics are deep and bittersweet. Plastic beach is probably the one of the best albums that has ever graced my ears.

I've kinda been suffering from depression Lately and when I listen to this song it calms me down and tells me that I'm not alone. When people ask me how I feel I just play this song so I don't need to say anything, the lyrics do it for me.

this song was used in the gravity falls pilot, and i think it fits perfectly. i’m kinda disappointed they didn’t use it in the actual show.

so good, this is my summer jam headphones, short trousers, flipflops, a cigarette and on my way to the park to chill with friends, such a good feeling :D

I hope you appreciate me guys, I listened to this 63 times to get it to 420k views.

When he says I love you so much these days it makes me cry

This song is so relaxing, yet melancholy and depressing at the same time.

This song always makes me cry. For some reason it remindes me of my childhood and how it all gone and that I will never be carefree child. I feel like I'm standing on a beach looking at the sun setting and on the sky my childhood memories are being shown whilst I'm crying. To anyone reading this I really hope you will have a amazing life full of happiness safety.

I don't get why people aren't all over these videos yet.

2D to murdoc after performing his song: damn you good fam??

I broke up with my gf yesterday and it hurts, we both agreed that our relationship didn't work right. we are still friends but it hurts so much. we both loved gorillaz and listened to it together but now im all alone listening it...

This song is amazing

Guys, hands down this is my favorite Gorillaz song ever. The tune and the rhythm is so soothing and this song is good to listen to when you want to relax or to shine up.

I'll be singing this tomorrow at my school talent show as a duet with my friend who doesn't even know who Gorillaz is (she said she doesn't know the words yet either, but she'll study hard tonight). I'll be doing Little Dragon's part...wish me luck!

I still think "demon days" is still their "top" but this one has gained a lot with age. still think it's underated though.

i heard this in the gravity falls pilot and i started to panic

my favorite song from the gorrilaz

2Ds voice in this sounds somewhat really angelic

I tried listening to this to cover up the noise of my family fighting and it actually worked Good song 10/10

Surprisingly, the comments section hasn't been riddled with Gravity Falls yet. (In the pilot, this song is used in a few parts)

Guess what?My friggin parents got me into Gorillaz

When I first started listening to this song, I had just started up a relationship with a new girlfriend, first love in a very long time. As that relationship panned out, the copious amounts of love and emotion, the two of us almost suffocating each-other with how much time we spent together... It was all so foreign to me at the time. Being in love is a great feeling, believing that you can truly rely on someone else in the world, someone that actually understands you and can relay emotions you never really knew you had. That feeling is addicting... That love is what we binged... Much like the high of any drink or drug you can imbibe, love can grab a hold of your life and when that love is slowly dwindling... sluggishly fading.. it's devastating to see it drained. This song speaks about this feeling, loving someone so much and then watching that love die before your eyes and trying to cope with the withdrawal. In this case with the song, the woman feels chained to her partner she's looking for a way out of the relationship, she's lost feelings for him, he's not the person she imagined him to be and so now she wants to move on and find someone else to fit her needs and is only stringing him along because she still feels those vague feelings she once knew but knows it's a pointless cycle. The male vocalist is on the other end of this, he knows he's screwed up whether it was his own fault or something about himself he just could not change, he feels for his partner and knows that his forgiveness will very likely never come, his girlfriend is a husk of what feelings she used to show, he knows she's lost interest in him and he knows he's only lying to himself thinking things will get better with her. He's afraid to lose her because he's binged on her love and has become dependent on her emotionally. Going from being in a relationship that you're really invested in, to just having to abandon everything with that person, essentially invalidating all of the emotions you've felt, the conversations you've had, the memories you've shared... is one of the most isolating experiences a person can deal with. You feel like you need that love again to even function in life, some people quickly rebound back into another relationship after breaking up, not really caring about who their partner is or if any of their actions matter, they crave that high that love can give you... they've become addicted and will eventually binge again. In my former relationship, that love was a drug I grew dependent on. It may not have even been either of our faults as to why the relationship crumbled but that feeling of just seeing your partner lose interest in you, not forgiving you for something you as an individual simply cannot be, those sleepless nights where you'd just spend hours enjoying each other's company, experiences you've shared and memories you've had just fading into nothing.... Leaving you stranded all alone on your little island at sea to try and pick up the pieces of the boat you once had and realizing that they took half of those pieces with them. Wondering night after night if you're brave enough to try and fix the rest of the ship by yourself and set sail again... or if maybe it's not even worth the risk of dealing with that pain of having that ship torn in half once more... This song is beautiful and it's a testament to anyone who's ever had to deal with a bad break-up before, hitting both sides of a failing relationship perfectly and showing the real emptiness one can feel when their ship starts sinking.

This song reminds me of the first time i found love and the breakup was exactly like this song. on the outside I may have seemed happy, but when you dig deeper into my heart you saw how sad i actually was. the worst part is that I am still attached to him, after a year.

Little Dragon is fantastic

My ex used to sing this to me at night.. currently a year since we split and I couldn’t be more depressed. I just hope our paths cross again someday..

This song is so melancholic and beautiful it always reminds me of when I first started getting into my Gorillaz phase and how it changed me. I love this band so much and their music has really changed me as a person. Every time I hear this I think of all the good times…

I first thought that this wasn't my type of music I may now say that ive listened to this over 40 times today

A lot of people don't realize that the hype train is here, get on board and spread the word ^^ *choo choo*

End of the 2010's approaching and this album is still standing as the gem of the decade.

Plastic beach was a magical album

for some reason this song makes me feel nostalgic even though i discovered Gorillaz this year 😕

I am crying oh my god

i spent a whole summer just binge crying in my room for hours to this song cool

(you're by my side, but are you still with me) I love that line

Damon albarn, you're a fucking genius

Possibly my fav duet. Who’s listening to this in 2020?

The line that's kills me is 'I love you so much these days'. It reminds me of lost love affairs and missed opportunities.

“You’re by my side but are you still with me?” Makes me cry bcuz it reminds me of the guy I like, he can’t take the hints that I love him….

I love this song it’s my favorite Gorillaz song

This album has so many gems like this one. Just so wonderful.

this song is nice to listen to as you chill at the pool or just at home

This song feels like a hug to me, like this song understands and is always here for me when I need it most.

this is my go-to song i listen to over the summer whenever i'm having a rough time. the music itself just sounds kind of lonely, which really resonates with me when my depression gets bad.

some song by these guys really bring out the feels deep in my heart i really want these guys to make even more songs

One of Gorillaz' most underrated songs...

HUMAN LISTENING TO THIS SONG I JUST WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I Love YOU ❤️💯

Legends say that this melody can be heard as two twins are shipped off to Oregon

I never been soo depressed and Gorillaz have really helped me.

This song reminds me of a friend of mine that committed suicide. I'll try to make it short: My friend moved away and ran into the wrong crowd. She became addicted to drugs and lost everything because it. "Waiting by the mailbox, by the train Passin' by the hills 'til I hear the name" Not sure if these will be one-to-one, but feel like this descripts her addiction. Always waiting for it to come. "I'm looking for a saw to cut these chains in half and all I want is Someone to rely on" Pretty obliviously, but she didn't want to be addicted. I tried to be someone to rely on, even though I lived miles away. "I'll wait to be forgiven Maybe I never will" After her death, I blamed myself for not doing more. I thought I could've done more to stop her from killing herself. I cried and lost sleep. Her funeral was held over 300 miles away and I couldn't make it. Took me about a month before I realized there was little I could have done to stop her. "I'm caught again in the mystery You're by my side, but are you still with me? The answer's somewhere deep in it, I'm sorry that you're feeling it But I just have to tell you that I love you so much these days" She called the night before it happened. She said she was tired, but she might have been high. I couldn't tell, so I trusted her (one part of the blaming myself). The last thing she said to me was "I love you man". I still remember it to this day. I just needed to get this out. Thinking of her, I keep blaming myself for not doing more. But if there is an afterlife, I know she wouldn't want me to do that. If you read this, thank you.

As a person that is struggling with addiction and an eating disorder, this song just breaks my heart. I always only think about my pain and ignore the fact that my conditions destroyed my loved ones and most of my relationship with them. Especially my mother, who I was so drawn to but only now am I able to realize how much she played a part in what happened to me, making fun of me purging and shit. My star really leaves me the second I hear this song Edit: Why THE FUCK did someone jus suggest that I pray to god and take hunger inducing cannabis to cure my ed 😭 it was kinda funny tho ngl

so beautiful, like nothing ive ever heard before, it's like being in a dream.

*lip smack* *saliva*

"you're by my side, but are you still with me?"

Escuchando esta canción de fondo mientras veo el amanecer es un sentimiento muy bonito y al mismo tiempo melalcólico.

So in love with this song... Came back to listen to it over and over during these years

I could just imagine lying on a beach in the tropics with this song playing and a big pile of money next to me and a cocktail in my hand.

brings memories with someone special

This album is written by murdoc... That adds a lot more soul to his character

This song calms me down a lot. It’s very aesthetic and I love it

this is my favorite song by gorillaz

I'll wait to be forgiven, maybe I never will. X

Gorillaz, Damon, Jamie, thank you for keeping me alive. I've been having depressing and suicidal thoughts and this makes me forget about it. Thank you, thank you.

I was 17 when Plastic Beach came out. I can't even begin to tell you how much this album has colored my memory of those times. Heavy. Beautiful. Thank you.

I just think of Spongebob.

"I love you so much these days, it's true" why am i crying

it's so cool how just the sound of something can paint such a beautiful complex picture

If Murdoc wrote the whole album, then damn. He's must been through some stuff if this song existed

Just found this song today, I have listening to their music for the past year, how have I missed?!

So sad and nostalgic. I need to hug something.

I wish people would stop saying "this track or that track is underated"...all down to personal taste. I'm 63 and somehow got listening to "Demon Days", my go music ...Stones, T.Heads, Santana, Focus, Floyd, Joplin, K.Bush, XTC, so quite a mixture. The whole of Plastic Beach is perfectly constructed, with so many different genres and styles, I think every single person who appreciates music would find something in it. Just the use of vocals are sumptuous!

"But I just have to tell that I love you so much these days Have to tell you that I love you so much these days, it's true..." My FAVORITE part

I feel like this song doesn't get enough credit. It's really, really good. Especially the instrumentals.

always going to a banger

I've heard this song like several times but today I paid attention and... WHAT A SONG! Thanks for this amazing little masterpiece.

Every year I always somehow end up coming back to this song and listening to it non stop

Plastic Beach has been one of my favorite albums for years and today I discover that I never actually listened to all of the songs

Heard this in the end credits of "The Family" 2013 film, fell in love, desperately scrambled down the lyrics I could make out, and here I am.

Years later and this song still stirs my heart, brings back some very deep emotions of a very singular time in my life...

One of my favorite lovesongs ever. This is a jewel.

This song makes me so happy. Love it!

One of the best tracks on Plastic Beach

It's like the feeling of deep desire to end all of it but you found comfort on helplessness because it's the only thing that you're now familiar with.

Our song J❤
