Gorillaz songs make me think about Summer nights.These songs are so important to my teenage years and make me think about so many memories.This band is the fucking best.

[danielhazelrigg]

This and Empire Ants are so smooth, chill, and charming. the slow songs are the best on this album in my opinion

[grs]

There's something about this song, it's just so, addicting.

Lyrics:
Distant stars
Come in black or red
I've seen their worlds
Inside my head
They connect
With the fall of man
They breathe you in
And dive as deep as they can
There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising
There's nothing you can say to him
He is an outer heart
And the space has been broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Is it far away in the
Glitter freeze
Or in our eyes
Every time they meet
It's by the light
Of the plasma screens
We keep switched on
All through the night while we sleep
There's nothing you can do for them
They are the force between
When the sunlight is arising
There's nothing you can say to her
I am without a heart
And the space has been broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken
It's broken
Our love
Broken

The Four Horsemen of Broken:

Murdoc's nose

Noodle's childhood and teen years

2D's life

Russell's soul

[grayfruit]

Seriously underrated track. The flute-thing reminds me of the Pikmin theme.

[edwardhoptrough]

My personal favourite Gorillaz song. Many good memories' associated with it, and I love the melancholy feel.

[spacewed]

Murdoc writes such beautiful songs for such a smelly old pervert. I love him.

[sensky]

I know this is way late but the pure fact that Murdoc wrote this album makes me just think about how his father and classmates treated him. Without love he became broken.

[Viaplier]

the fact that Murdoc wrote this song is insane

[peterthehorseishere]

DISTANT STARS COME IN *BLACK* OR *RED* !THE COLOR OF MURDOC'S IRISES

[alfonsoluna]

Broken, Kansas, Andromeda, Fire Flies, Empire Ants, Busted and Blue, Submission, On Melancolly Hill, Souk Eye and Idaho, are my really sad favorite songs

[plexa]

This song is not complete without the video of Noodle dancing.

[bunni_zen]

Mudz is a softie once you bust open his mean shell he wrote to binge, empire ants, and broken? He has to be soft somewhere

[MysticMimikyu]

I adore these melancholy gorillaz songs

[lunaseur]

THIS IS LIKE INJECTING HEROINE INTO MY EARS AND I LOVE It

[floranox]

I discovered this album very late. Now I'm in love with this song and its oniric atmosphere.

I wish a live action Gorillaz movie.

And I wish a scene with this song:

// Foggy dawn, 2d smoking on the balcony.
Murdoc shows him the lyrics of this song, 2d immediately likes it and asks him what inspired him.
Murdoc doesn't answer, but we see the flashback with kid Murdoc who assist to (and suffer himself) his father's abuse and violence.
"I am without a heart..."
Back to present, Murdoc stares into space.
2d takes a cigarette from the pack and hands it to him with a smile, without saying anything (...but from the smile he seems to have guessed what Murdoc doesn't say).
Murdoc takes the cigarette and, for a second, shows an human expression: a glimpse of fragility and gratitude. But it's just a brief moment. The scene ends with flashbacks of Noodle and Russel's traumas, alternating with the group's live performance.
It remind us they are all broken.//

This is one of the best sounding projects I've ever heard. Unfortunately people still see Demon Days as the perfect Gorillaz album. Do not sleep on Plastic Beach

[josephsierra]

the live visual from their plastic beach tour just makes the song even more addicting. its a simple video but man ive probably seen it like 100 times already

[patmo]

In doncamatic 2-D :"Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me!.."
In broken 2-D our brooooken..."
