Probably one of their most simple songs, yet it leaves a impact. Beautiful synths and singing, and the beat is amazing. Listen to this when you are mad, it will cheer you up.

[lyndy]

Damon can sing anything, such a talented man

[AsurorusA]

even the simpliest song gives a heavy feeling

[rusrockt]

I remember driving to my parents as hell, and I didn't know why since I have a good life. But I was listening to this album and for whatever reason, it pulled me out of that dark place I was in. I will forever be grateful to Damon Albarn. Whenever life gets rough, his music pulls me through.

[hollowphantom]

I discovered this song about ten years after it was released and to be honest it’s probably my favorite song now even though I was late as hell to find it

[MyloXyloto]

The lead guitarist always rocks the fuck out of that captains hat! xD

[mariolovegood]

Where is the "i'm so in love with this" option?

[nurnabila]

Up on melancholy hill
There's a plastic tree
Are you here with me
Just looking out on the day
Of another dream

Well you can't get what you want
But you can get me
So let's set out to sea
'Cause you are my medicine
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

So call in the submarines
'Round the world will go
Does anybody know her
If we're looking out on the day
Of another dream

If you can't get what you want
Then you come with me

Up on melancholy hill
Sits a manatee
Just looking out for the day
When you're close to me
When you're close to me

When you're close to me

Songwriters: Damon Albarn / Jamie Hewlett

[jimm]

Warms my heart seeing Mick and Paul enjoying themselves

[facundocanete]

I don't know why I cry with this song!

[lunarose]

This is my favourite song. My goal in life is to hear it live.

[Anneke]

Each version they have of this song is blows my mind, I just love it that they have the guts to make every song different and sort of their own style, this is just a good example of the Gorillaz^^

[Aomicplane]

That guitar delay effect really adds to the live version. Beautiful!

[thegardenpear]

I don't know how to put it, but his music always makes me want to make music. Love his work.

[swastikazero]

Cause you are my medicine when you're close to me :3

[MichaelangeloMacklin]

You can't be depressed when this is in your ears

[foxmcclout]

Seeing Mick and Paul from The Clash on here kinda makes me sad since Joe Strummer isnt here anymore . The song makes it sadder

[itstowny]

Can’t believe that this was 9 years ago

[andydj]

gorillaz isn't a band.. it's a group of smart, talented people that knew how to make good music and to make it look so young..

[Crowshill]

Gotta admit, no matter what some people say about this group, they have lots of creativity and they sound good live!!!
