Gorillaz-Hong Kong

[deedeedee500]

If you've ever listened to this song while walking around observing nature during a sunset with a slight cool breeze...you understand natural beauty.

[t1vm]

Personally, I think D-sides is one of Gorillaz's best albums. Strange how B-sides can be so good, while most of the times there is just something missing.

[82noodlesoup]

What a beautiful song. <3

[MasterShot2k5]

Okay, finally another song from this band that doesn't suck.

[Thebepob]

this my song i feel the same way i felt when i herded it the first time back way when=]

[Liordabush1]

@Thebepob you have to work on your grammar and on your spelling mistakes. for god sake.

[dhhs91]

@Thebepob I agree with @Liordabush1. 19 years old, living in the US and with that grammar and spelling?

[gaiaschilddk]

amazing 

[RestrauntMobsters]

great now i have to look for Fabio Stream's comment ._.

[inesschuitema]

hahahhahahaha the commercial was awsome!

love this song!

[lick9152]

if you stare blankly at the d-sides demon album cover until it becomes blurry i swear it will start to come alive

[le0pardstar]

Beautiful. 

[xSkighx]

I had always wondered why/how this ended up as a D-Side. It has always been one of my favorites from the Gorillaz.

[PlotterFTW]

Holy crap, the guzheng harmony is exquisite. I need to learn it now.

[Hazleye458]

Gorillaz can do it all!!! <3



[dmann87zz14]

This sounds a lot like something Radiohead would do. This is really good.

[kleash]

This song really grows into you

[jimbobhk2009]

I ♥ HK!

[el1alois]

today, this video is going to get its 10000th view. Why isn't it 1000000?

[Oedemaband]

Simply magical. Anyone know how to play the ambient piano in the beginning?

[GayRum]

Mixed feelings about this song. Hong Kong is my home and I love it here but this rings true...

[omgstarbucks]

This song makes me cry every time I listen to it.

[TheFartoholic]

@omgstarbucks cry evertim?

[Matt00851]

the gorillaz dont need a genre. they ARE a genre

[FriedMyShoes]

if you're high and you listen to this song with your eyes closed you leave your body for a few minuts leaving your soul somewhere in space

[theextinction2330]

@FriedMyShoes you dont have to be high to do that with gorillaz

[AlmightyTallestGreen]

@theextinction2330 Hell, you don't even need to close your eyes!

[Everfart]

@FriedMyShoes its true it happened to me too

[Scottnavy1]

10 guys doesn't have a heart

[ahmedcr1990]

ya i'm so fuckin cool i'm gonna dislike this awesomeness so i could feel special no

asshole u are so fuckin dumb to deslike this magic.

[hoh8511no]

Ughhh! this song is so sad. It dosn't help me to overcome my depression, but I have found the beauty in this song.

[holy6333]

this song sucks but i love then band come on

[cryspyfast]

this song is a trip :o

[Devourthebook15]

How the HELL is this only a D-side?! Such a great song, should've been on a studio album. Absolutely brilliant, like every Gorillaz song of course.

[GorillazM1A1]

@Devourthebook15 No, acually if I am correct there is a G-Sides search it up if u are curious

[TheSugarHighClub]

lol first thing i thought of was noodle when i heard this.... well her and my cousin :P

[HeyHeyHuey]

She had well conditioned hair,

was beautiful, but nothing really was there

[orginallos]

Can I dislike the dislikes?

[MrTri885]

The gorillaz's music is so unbelievably surreal, but then again they aren't even a real band (HINT: they're virtual)

[1MrJACKASS]

@MrTri885

no shit sherlock?

[MrTri885]

You know, i kinda like this song more than most songs that appear in their actual albums.

[RapInPublic]

its so beautiful, reminds me of when i lived in china, it really does.

[FearCheese334]

Asomez. Listen like 200,0000 times

[giogiobcn]

Everything Albarn touches turns to gold!!

[joeyXDface]

What is with the violins towards then end. They are not on the Honk Kong single? this an album version?

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

love the koto instrument in this song!

[BLByline]

Whenever I listen to this song, my eyes glaze over and an invisible weight I never notice is somehow lifted off my shoulders.

[F1CO]

I get goosebumps when I listen to this song

[ecsisof3]

Beautiful

[safyre77]

Lovely song

[GaiaOnlineGirl100]

Dang! I didn't realize this was 7 minutes long XD

[littlepiepie]

@GaiaOnlineGirl100 Me too!

[GaiaOnlineGirl100]

@littlepiepie Ahahahaha XD

[rufridder]

thumbs up if madebyjef bringed you here

[Jurass1ck]

This song is so pretty :')

[fantaXDaddict]

Gorillaz are by far my favourite band. They're so original. You don't see mainstream artists making music like this <3

[noodle12d3]

how can any 1 hate this song

[gettinaway7]

This song doesn't seem 7 minutes long! I love it, it's so relaxing..

[SweetScarred10]

this song reminds me a rainy day but a sunny day after all

[PlasticoBro]

No other band, or vocalist has ever stirred such emotions in me. Gorillaz is the only band that's ever made me cry with their music, among other things.

To put it simple, everything else is just shit, compared to Gorillaz and their creativity and beauty.

Just my opinion, though...

[picklemnstr11]

what instrument is being played in this one?

[TerpinSaxt]

@picklemnstr11 I believe it's a Gu Zheng.

[MrMisterFluffy]

i fall asleep to this song<33

[moontjemo]

@FabioStream

You'r just drunk ;)

[GLaDOS84]

how... on earth... can you dislike... Gorillaz...

[sexymcrbitch]

its offical.....I LOVE THIS SONG!

[prozacpacman]

This song takes me to another place. I wish I could move into this song. Why can't it be longer?

[picklemnstr11]

@prozacpacman Thats the power of music :D

[prozacpacman]

@picklemnstr11 Music is a great power. I wish it wasn't dumbed down everyday. It's not something you can package; you can't package life-influencing emotions. I'm glad I can log-on everyday and listen to something so calming and healing, but itunes isn't enough. I everyone to feel what I feel when I listen to this.

[prozacpacman]

@prozacpacman *I want everyone

[GorillazM1A1]

Bliss

[GorillazM1A1]

Thumbs up to all u 558 people good for u

[MrKaleb777]

best fookin gorillaz song ever

[fortminor655]

i wake up 2 this song every morning, very peacefull:)

[MangoStarrx3]

I was so high two days ago and i was lying in my bed listening to D sides. When this song came on i was like OH MY GOD. And i started crying.

[KatashiaFantasy101]

@MangoStarrx3 Get clean.... It'll be doing you and everyone you know a big favor :)

[MangoStarrx3]

@KatashiaFantasy101 Get properly informed about weed. It'll be doing you and everyone you know a big favour, babe.

[KatashiaFantasy101]

@MangoStarrx3 Sorry about the way my reply came off... I just think staying off of pot could save you a lot of time and money :/ But be careful... I know someone who got a bad batch of pot, and he got schizophrenia. :(

[quonginongnong]

Dislikes don't mean anything. Neither do likes for that matter. Just beautiful music straight from the soul. Enjoy.

[AIRSO97]

this band raised me

[omes7922]

Such A nice song...

Brings backs Memories when I was middle School!

Makes me just want to break down and cry!

[y9115]

Who knew I could still cry listening to a song. This song is simply beautiful. No more words.

[MONGism]

this song has this feeling of a troubled sadness. this song isn't just about the lyrics, but also the bellows of the instruments that make you willingly listen.. almost to where you cant help but love its lamentation in guilt. and if you listen to this song in the dark and in complete silence, all of its smaller details make your heart hurt just a little more from its resilience. Hong Kong.

[YourHomieHenry]

This is the first time I herd Damon Albarn curse lmao. It was perfect. =]

[OniLink96]

@YourHomieHenry

I thought it was weird. The first time I heard this song I like flipped when he said shit. "DID ALBARN JUST USE ONE OF THE BAD SWEARS?!" It works, but I was stunned for whatever reason.

[mircea1910]

@YourHomieHenry sorry, but this is not the first time he swears, there is a hidden Blur song called "White Noise" in which he says "I'm here because I've got no f**king choice", just thought you'd like to know XD

[KingBerk104]

The sound starting at 6:04 sounds like the sounds in one of Blade Runner's last scenes. Anyone else hear it?

[Fyropyro420]

freedom isnt given, its taken, and it is taken away.

[knpbeer]

amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!

[thefalchion]

This is on demondays right?

[pirate360]

@thefalchion D-Sides, it's a remix/b-side/companion to Demon Days

[thefalchion]

@pirate360 D'oh! That's a pity <;/ Cuz I'm gonna buy Demon Days

[CommanderZylo]

I said "this is the most beautiful song I've heard in my life" quite a while ago. And it still is :)

[UberGrimm]

Another song i could stare at the ceiling to while sober.

[DeathsIncarnate]

i was going to like but it had 420 likes so i stopped and posted this instead

[HypaSonicDeathMonkey]

This is inexplicably fun to play New Vegas to. Probably has something to do with all the neon and slow motion headshots.

[Munjeej]

@HypaSonicDeathMonkey Whoa no shit man, I listened to all of Gorillaz when first playing that game, it really worked.

[HypaSonicDeathMonkey]

@Munjeej

I know, right? It just works, for some reason.

[imamidget6]

@HypaSonicDeathMonkey no way i was just doing this exact same thing

[harapan78]

music that touches the soul

[harapan78]

music that touches the soul

[ganamoha]

Can someone spell the name of the instrument for me?

[shadowflyer22]

SOOOO peaceful

[santa1454]

Love it...

But it would be better without any words...

[contracide]

i like it when no one knows my songs so i dont see dislikes...not sure why i even care though

[i0heart0the0fray]

its so pretty<3

[SuperOrangebird]

you what i hate? when people think its funny to dislike a video that had 0 dislikes just to degrade its perfection

[Kubojah3D]

@SuperOrangebird You know what I haate? when you get thumbs up and people start commenting your comment. Its annoying.

[junkyarddog14]

@SuperOrangebird get a life

[Chaos1091]

This song just makes me happy no matter what is going on in my life.

[Personoide]

I wonder how can be there 5 people who don't like this song.

It just doesn't make any sense. At all.

[xis10ce]

@Personoide cuz they're trolls and peaceboy's comment about it having 0 dislikes gave them ammo

[ByTeam6001]

@Personoide They accidentally pressed the dislike button, when they meant to press the like button I guess xD

[TobiasSueess]

@Personoide maybe the people who listen to rihanna, lady gaga or justin bieber are saying the same :D

[therealdidntishootu]

wish you didnt have to buy the album to get the song on iTunes

[MrTehproworld]

How can someone not like this song?!! this is like music from the holy heavens!!!

[kornypony]

@InfinityXion Sanshin is Okinawan, has nothing to do with HK. Its Chinese table harp / zither. 古箏

[Alibicat]

it's a beautiful song. <3

[zerodragon9]

i love the piano during the outro of this

[kytaros]

@TheSimpleKiwi It isn't a Sanshin, it's a Gu zheng \m/

[TheSimpleKiwi]

whats that instrument?

[hassantv100]

3 people have not gone to Hong Kong.

[theYoda98]

@hassantv100 wrong, I never went to Hong Kong and i'm one of the likers

[iLikechik3n]

this song is calming...

[PedrocasMan1]

this song makes me cry ;-(

[NeonFoxLetsPlays]

i was really hoping that Gorillaz would one day make an album called "Hong Kong", in honor of this track, and have this track open it. it's so beautiful. minimalist yet lush, powerful yet subtle. 7 minutes of genius.

[zyan05]

good song

[ScaryMonstahh]

How come Gorillaz are so amazing?

[wereyuan]

I live in Hong KOng <3

[KangOhDayumn]

i fell asleep while this song was playing. i dreamt such a nice dream. oddly i always dream great dreams while i fall asleep listening to this

[NLitenedNLethaL]

44444.

[theinfamoushippie11]

@NLitenedNLethaL was that a reference to the grudge?

[4demon9]

There's no such phrase as "THIS DOESN'T SOUND LIKE GORILLAZ". I mean yeah it's different, but that's what's so awsome about Gorillaz and they are one of the few bands that don't have a "signature sound". You just don't know what to expect from them. I love this song by the way.

[thehypercookie]

You can actually hear him barely whisper, "2, 3, 4" at 1:08 right before he comes in. I only noticed until I counted along to figure out the time signature for my music class.

[thehypercookie]

You can actually hear him go, "2, 3, 4". I only noticed until I counted along to figure out the time signature for my music class.

[monkeyside]

top gear vietnam special use it

[taniakokosalaki]

really nice but sooooo not gorillaz! sounds kinda like porcupine tree and anathema etc. but not gorillaz AT ALL!

[TheFartoholic]

@taniakokosalaki Gorillaz don't stick to any particular genre at all so saying that this does not sound like Gorillaz is stupid.

[killbuzzinton]

iits a good song i wouldin go as far as to say it would make me cry now! u jus have issus ha

[NezzDaXombie]

the other day it was cloudy, foggy n drizzling .. smoke break was peaceful as i thought of this song. useless info

[Coskindo]

@NezzDaXombie

But tnx for sharing anyway XD

[NezzDaXombie]

@Coskindo .. lol im just saying they have an awesome song for just about every occasion

[iluvwatermelons]

i listen to this to get to sleep :)

[GorillazBeatles]

This song makes me cry. Its aazing

[doodlesxlove]

I'm from Hong Kong!!!

[karma756231]

[MENTOman7]

[LukeGorillaz]

[WeirdsBestFriend]

@LukeGorillaz Yeah, he says one..two..three..and then sings I believe.

[403Skateboarding]

this needs to be played at my funeral.

[CosplayCousins]

The koto and piano simply were marvelous, Damon/2D sounds just beautiful!!! :3

Gorillaz forever! Man this makes me wanna tear up <3

[thelordofnm]

no youtube, just because i looked up Hong Kong by Gorillaz DOES NOT mean i want an engineering job in hong kong :l stop puttin ads in my face

[karma756231]

that person who gave the 1 dislike has no life

[UNSCSPARTAN058]

@karma756231 Uh, why "no life" exactly?

[karma756231]

@UNSCSPARTAN058 first thing that came to mind

[XPhycoSoldierX]

Sends shivers down my spine. It's that amazing

[demolitionXloveX94]

This is the one song that really hits my soul deeply.

Hong Kong, Empire Ants and the actual song Demon days I think are some of the most stunning pieces written in our era

[sillychipmunks]

This song makes me cry pools of tears.

It's beautiful
