  • i actually like this version better, just a bit. i mean i like the synth effect too, but the one without lets the tune come out much cleaner

  • what does Gorrilaz have to do with Hong Kong, just wondering (Cantonese btw)

  • I'm sorry but it bothers me that the synth isn't in this song, it gives the song that really melancholy feeling.

  • I just realized that this version doesn't have the synth in the background, but the song on the CD does!

  • One of my favorite Gorillaz songs

    Just listen to the synth!

  • Incredible intro.

  • amazing song.

  • most epic Song ever *_*

  • @ThePinselkind

    ahahaha I never even noticed the resolution!

    I uploaded this like 4 years or so ago, so I hold that this was all you got back then.

    SUPER STANDARD DEFINITION

    I'll be sure to re-upload it at 160p.

  • @shpytahmon I used to upload great-quality videos at 240p. Now I upload stuff at 480p and 720p and it looks like 240p or worse, but still loads slowly.

  • nice

  • 24 dumb Hong Kong tourist

  • @Dejavu808s what do you mean 

  • Nice Guqin.

  • how come this version is different to the first version you listen to when you youtube hong kong? the other one has added strings.. i prefer this

  • i love how u made the footage from tommorow comes today ( 2D singing) match up w/ the lyrics to this song. cool dude. once again, beautiful music. 24 people are just plain drunk or idiots.

  • beautiful music!

  • This song has made me cry so many times. Thank you so much for uploading this, you did awesome on it!

  • @nick14877 Rock the House

  • wow I never heard this song. It really rocks!

  • This song is amazing, gives me chills. I love how Gorillaz incorporate so many different instruments in their songs.

  • Am i the only one who feels like this is one of the most beautiful and orgasmic songs in the world?

    This is perfect.

  • uhm...24 people's? if this 24 people's don't listen this type of music why they should set 24 minuses?

    video is awesome, i dont know how many time you do this movie, but, i think minimum 2-3 month's ... end of movie sad as in original "el manana"..

  • even if somebody doens't like the video, he/she 's got to appreciate de video. It's really good, I'm amazed it's not the original one ;)

    Niice work :D

  • i love the piano during the outro of this

  • i love this video!!!!!!! who could ever hate it

  • i cry when i listen to this

  • Alot of people seem to think that Hong Kong is culturalistic city made up of a cluster of traditional villages...

    1: HK is is a large city

    2: HK is just as clean as singapore (Gum is legal tho)

    3: We are more healthier than most americans (less obesity)

    4: Britian might have handed HK back to China but ther is still an influence (Making hk more multi-national - More diversity)

    5: chinese people love ther technology

    6: HK underground railway (MTR) pwns

    7: THX FOR READING from HK

  • @backdrop04 I'm from America (in Britain though). I didn't think Hong Kong was a cluster of traditional villages even when I was a kid. Whenever I think of Hong Kong, Shanghai, or Beijing, or any other Chinese cities, while Chinese symbols do come to mind, I still think of modern buildings and skyscrapers and suburban areas.

    My peers? ...Mmmmmmeh.

  • Comment removed

  • This just takes me somewhere else. It's not Hong Kong, but it's not here either.

  • I agree. I thought this was the original version. You did that damn good of a job to me, bro. Excellent work!!!

  • NICE :D

  • esta es la mejor canción de gorillaz!

  • cool!!How did u make 2D sing like that??!!

  • @SuperElMojado think it's from "Tommorow comes today" that the footage of 2-D singing is from... He lip synced it really well tho.

  • @SinisterGrapefruit:oh yeah

  • the top of chill out songs

  • Gorillaz really rolled up their sleeves and put on their best Chinese Radiohead act. Lol, and made a freaking epic song

  • This song gives me goosebumps. <3

  • Vote green for this vid ... and shpytahmon! Or Red if you realy love it ... and lets call it a miss click! Yeahmarama

  • 2:22 what video is that

  • This song makes me miss Noodle :'-( I KNOW SHE ISN'T DEAD!!

  • Songs like these always remind you of something special. This one reminds me of my 6th grade year where I went on a school trip to a Science camp for 2 days. It was also during the time of my first relationship. I had gotten The Rise of the Ogre the day before the trip and brought it. This song will forever be embedded in my head along with these sweet memories. I get the chills when I hear it, but it also makes me think about how I should have appreciated those memories when they happened.

  • This song makes me wanna cry. Life has been increddibly hard for my school and others... this is definitly a redemption song. Especially the beging

  • Amazing!!!!

  • this song is so underrated!

    love it, so calm and chill. <3

  • This is beautiful. I love every aspect of this vid!

  • I caught up with an old friend from over 20 years back on Facebook and It turns out He's stage Manager for Gorillaz !! Unreal. He got Me and My Wife in to their "Plastic beach" rehearsals in Birmingham, UK. The best part is, He's still a real down to earth bloke. Ain't life funny sometimes ?

  • Gorillaz is remarkable. Damon Albarn's music genius, Jamie Hewlett's beautiful art, and the help of great colaborators, it's just inspirational. "Gorillaz", "Demon Days", and "Plastic Beach" was fantastic, alongside with "G-sides" and "D-sides". Gorillaz inspired me to draw great art like Jamie and make music like Damon. Gorillaz's music is so motivational.

  • were the hell do I find the real life gorrillaz? Is that noodle playing that thing?

  • @ilikechiks100 uh, wikipedia exists yanno.

    after the first album the identity of the people who made the music and their collaborators has been well known and well publicized.

    as for the girl on the thing, she's not really related to the band. she juts plays the thing.

  • @shpytahmon it's called the guzheng

  • @shpytahmon it's called the guzheng

  • @shpytahmon what is she playing?

  • @shpytahmon nevermind i found out. It's a guzheng.

  • @shpytahmon WTF? i srsly dont understand, as ifar as i know, damon is the ONLY GUY IN GORILLAZ, and murdoc and all of em are different people every time right?¡ RIGHT?!

  • @shpytahmon uh, wikipedia exists yanno. so spend 10 seconds looking up the name of the instrument she is playing, instead of "the thing". Guzheng ftw

  • @fizzle455

    well apparently this song does have a wiki, color me surprised.

  • @ilikechiks100 its live dumbass

  • @ilikechiks100 A concert. Damon Albarn....

    and noodle isnt real, sadley.

  • @ilikechiks100 noodle is japanese not chinese

  • 4:29 The Exorcist? WTF

  • I like when they say: Lord hear me now Junk boats and English boys Crashing out in super marts Electric fences and guns You swallow me I'm just a pill on your tongue Up here on the nineteenth floor The neon lights make me come And late in a star's life It begins to explode And all the people in a dream Wait for the machine Pick the shit up leave it clean
  • Kid, hang over here

    What you learning in school?

    Is the rise of an Eastern sun

    Gonna be good for everyone?

    The radio station disappears

  • 22 people how can you hate this song?

  • @ENNTEERZ maybe 22 people don't like my video :D

  • @shpytahmon how can you not like your video? ;-)

  • @shpytahmon i like it. what program did you use to make it?

  • @shpytahmon that's the best answer i've EVER seen :D

  • @shpytahmon 22 people racists

  • @ENNTEERZ They're probably def.

  • @ENNTEERZ because 25 people are human like the other 1161 who like it

  • spine chilling.

  • 2:01 lmao i love how 2Ds pelvic thrusting is in sync with the song

  • this song needs to be longer. well at least i got repeat on.

  • ...some of the footage aren't from Hong Kong

  • Where is this from? I've never heard until now.

  • @KazuyaRazuKazama D-sides

  • 22 people don't get music. 0.0

  • This is beyond gorgeous. I mean...WOW.

  • this song makes me think about life

  • why would someone dislike this peace of heaven?

  • I'M FROM HONG KONG AND I'M PROUD OF IT! ^^

  • so annoying 55 seconds in i'm smoking a bowl and i have to piss god damn it

  • This was no small job! Very, very well done. There's a very specific composition to the animated material you've put together.

  • @MegaNumchuck

    that is very poorly keyed footage from clint eastwood super imposed over some Demon Days concert B-Roll

  • @shpytahmon it was on the DVD for the Demon Days concert

  • this video is perfect! ! this is one of my fav Gorillaz songs its so beautiful, and the clips really fit so pretty! great great job (:

  • i luv this song sooo much it makes me want to cry!

  • Oh man, this video really has sentimental value for me... the montage just an awesome tribute to Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett's legacy... thanks for making it!

  • This is a little video that absolute disgrace the youth of hong kong, Since this video have shown young people wearing the "anti-christ" necklace in 1:18 and 0:53. This is absolute disgrace of hong kong christian community and hong kong community, Many of hong kong young people believe that jesus is the only one to trust,

  • @ThePop000pop

    uh, thanks for this I guess

  • @shpytahmon It wasn't a compliment from him. He was just saying you took some people who were wearing some sort of anti-christ necklace ;)

  • @treboritram

    Sarcasm is a hard thing to detect through the internet.

    Whatever he was saying, he felt the need to say it four different times, 3 of which are marked as spam.

    v(._.)v

  • @ThePop000pop if they (and you) believe Yeshua then they should live up to the value he had taught, tolerance, compassion, love thy neighbour, if not, u r blindly following the religion and a hypocrite deserve no title of christian

  • I love Gorillaz! <3

  • what is this song even about?

  • "The radio station disappears

    Music turning to thin air

    The DJ was the last to leave "

    Gonna miss ya 6 Music.

    R.I.P. (come 2012)

  • Great video man!Great song and with this you did great job!

  • gorgeous song, albarn is such a talent. extremely gifted musician/composer. all he touches turns to gold.

  • I agree, however Gorillaz has like 5 years without performing a big proyect, so i really hope that "Plastic Beach" becomes a sucess. After "Demon Days" gorillaz hasnt made a lot, well, just only some pretty good songs like We are the happy landfill, Hong Kong (Great song), and others that i dont exactly remember. Their last works are not really impressive but every big proyect they take generally its a success.

    So I have been listening to gorillaz since i was a kid, so I really spect a lot.

  • Gotta agree with ya...He`s awesome and gorillaz are amazing....
