Cracker Island
On Cracker Island it was born
To the collective of the dawn
They were planting seeds at night
To grow a made up paradise
Where the truth was auto tuned (forever cult)
But it’s sadness I consumed (forever cult)
Into my formats everyday (forever cult)
in end I had to pay (what world is this)
In the end I had to pay (I purged my soul)
In the end I had to pay (I drank to riot)
Nothing more to say (I drank to riot)
They taught themselves to be occult
They didn’t know it’s many strategies x 2
Fantasies
What world is this? x2
On Cracker Island it was raised
By the collective from the grave
It only came out at night
It ate up their paradise (paradise)
Where the truth was auto tuned (forever cult)
And it’s sadness I consumed (forever cult)
Into my formats everyday (forever cult)
In the end I had to pay (what world is this)
Out there on my silverlake (I was not there)
In the end it will be great (beneath the hills)
I’m like a ship between the tides (I saw myself)
I held on I survived (there in the void)
They taught themselves to be occult
They didn’t know it’s many strategies x2
Fantasy
On Cracker Island It will die (forever cult)
Join the collective in the sky (forever cult)
And on a shining boat of light (forever cult)
Go up to paradise (what world is this)
Where the truth is autotuned (I purged my soul)
And it’s sadness I consume (I drank to riot)
Into my formats everyday (I drank to riot)
In the end I had to pay (forever cult)
In the end I’ll have to pay (forever cult)
In the end I’ll be ok (forever cult)
Nothing more to say x3
Thundercat’s sound complements Gorillaz so well. Great single
"Where the truth was all auto tunded"
I love how the bi flag is in your pfp and the halo characters (sorry I don't know their names I only played halo once) are the colors of the pan flag
@@rottingstarz They’re actually from the show Red vs. Blue. They use Halo as an animation technique. Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it!

Yup
As a not native English speaker, Gorillaz have some complicated lyrics for me to understand thanks to how 2-D sing, this type of videos really help me to enjoy a lot more the music.
Idem
As a native English speaker I also have a hard time understanding 2-D sometimes
same, especially with demon days. I could not make out what 2-D was singing in many songs, and everytime i checked the lyrics on the internet it said something different so i guess its not just because i'm not a native speaker
it's okay gorillaz, you can call it britain
“Where the truth is auto-tuned” is such a great line
I love everything about this song. Especially since the new theme of this phase has something to do with time - if you listen closely you hear a clock ticking. I love these details so flippin much.
I do feel like the music starts pretty simple but them it elevates and more layers starts adding to the orchestra and the drumming gets pretty hectic
flippin? just say fuckin
@@LordyMay I prefer to decide myself which words I use, thanks.
It's actually a metronome! They make most of the music on GarageBand, I believe!
@@LordyMay don’t get *Flippin* pressed about someone choosing not to swear
This band was part of my childhood and today I am twenty-eight years old. The band always innovating and perfecting itself in everything even today.
I’m 29. I feel the same way dood
@@rainking3380 🙂
27 here. Used to be obsessed with the Clint Eastwood video as a kid. Would always try my best to draw 2D and those zombie apes in the video haha. Glad they’re still going strong and that I’ve stuck around this whole time.
My brother 🤝🏻
@@Strummie 🙃
I love this song, I never looked up the lyrics but just kept singing it. I'm so disappointed in myself cause I kept singing, "they taught themselves to be a COW" cause it stuck in my head and now I still can't unhear what I sang even now knowing the lyric is "occult" Edit and update: I went to the Gorillaz concert at the Chase Center in SF and got to hear him sing it live, and I still heard "A Cow!" Edit edit: knowing now that their lyric videos aren't always correct, It can be "A Cow!" if I dream it! \(^-^)/
SAME lmao
Dammit. 😂🐮
I had heard "A cult", though I guess that's not too far from the actual word
Same😭🤚🤚
Hey no worries. I thought they were singing “I drank too much”
The effects with the lyrics like having Murdoc's face fade in and out with the word "Cult" makes it it's own video to watch and not just a video for the lyrics. Bravo, Gorrillaz. Bravo.
Bass riff is actually insane throughout the entire song
That's Thundercat for ya
I can’t get over this song, it’s addictive and it reminds me so much of their older music.
You got that right. I am hooked
Agreed! It truly feels like the older material that always had a catchy hook.
Gorillaz is that band you’ll listen to as a little kid then forget then after years of trying to remember you finally fine then and there music is still amazing
This is literally what happened to me! I was 4 when I was first shown this band now I’m 21 and it’s a daily staple to listen to at least one of there songs! Now that I have re-discovered the band I can’t get enough I love them so much!
Bro... my first experience was Feel Good Inc. in like...2004? I loved it, forgot it, and only remembered it on a train ride home from DC with Melancholy Hill. That was 2017, I think
I was 14 when they came out in 2001. I hope my kids have this experience, because I never will but I played Gorillaz their whole childhoods.
Accurate
Всегда поражает какие у Gorillaz визуально красивые и приятные клипы. Про музыку я вообще молчу - что не трек то шедевр. Круто!
BOT
дело говоришь брат :)
Язык фактов)
полностью согласна, гориллаз это самое лучшее что могло случиться в моей жизни
ура ру фанаты
I love this slightly grainy, pink aesthetic, it's absolutely beautiful.
I played this song in my graveyard shift and everyone was jamming out haha I love this song
Thats awesome lmao
Nice to know the dead were also vibing ☺️
@@bug7055 LMAO
Certified 2am jam
Cool
Any excuse to listen to this song again, I'll definitely take it! Forever Cult✝️
How fitting to use *that* emoji
@@IronianKnight ...LMAO ! honest word? tht was also my first impression. 🤣
I love this song so much! Thundercat is so awesome! Gorillaz does it again!! I'm so happy to be a a part of the cult!!!
Hace un minuto y mucha gente ya comento, cuanto amor a Gorillaz Me encanta
AAAA SPAM
*smashes head on wall when see the bots
Como no amar a gorillaz cuando conoces que son de lo mejor en todo sentido salvo la historia a partir de la fase 4 XD
Nunca he tenido tantos likes muchas gracias!
N word island
The bass is so funky! I love thundercat!
Can we just appreciat how this song ends with the words 'nothing more to say'😌
Actually the song ends with reverb trails of some synth and percussion... But the last thing said before the song's instrumental outro was "nothing more to say"
@@josephhall5635🤓
as a young teen , it’s crazy seeing all these older people talking about gorillaz being part of their childhood. i guess i’m gonna grow up saying this song brings so much nostalgia lololol. i love this band sm bro
same here! Hell my parents used to listen to melancholy hill all the time and i had no idea what Gorillaz even was back then. Feels weird getting into a fandom that's old enough that even my parents enjoy it lmao
I'm 13 and my parents are 48 and they listened to Gorillaz in college and now I'm listening to them, my Dad's favorite song is rhinestone eyes, he plays it all the time in car rides and I didn't even know it was a Gorillaz song until now
"Future pixels and factories far away." "Here we go again!"
Me encanta esta canción, no puedo esperar a escuchar el álbum completo, espero mucho de esta nueva etapa 😁
X2
Lo que no me gusta es que en las últimas fases murdoc se estaba redimiendo y aquí lo tiraron por la borda todo eso
@@jfxventas7735 o eso es lo que Murdoc quería que pensaramos...
No se sabe si esta canción es parte de un álbum nuevo o si es parte de la película de Gorillaz que saldrá por Netflix. Aún no hay información. De seguro sacaran un soundtrack de la película, esperemos que sean todas canciones nuevas.
This music will never get old to me, I feel like I can listen to it forever.😺
I mean, it came out a month ago
If "horror disco" was a genre, this song would serve as a fine example.
Obsessed with this song literally can’t get it out of my head 🫶
Nothing more to say
Bro same 💀
Словами не передать, как я люблю ваше творчество 🤧🤧🤧🤧🤧
впервые я нашла русских под видео gorillaz, шок🤧
Я тоже в шоке
Saw this live in Dublin yesterday. It was amazing! Cracker Island is one of their best song yet, and it's ten million times better watching it live! We love you, Damon!
De las mejores bandas, Gorillaz ✨
Exacto
gorrilaz are are the only band to even make the lyrics video cool
Gorillaz es legendario, crecí con ellos y siento que moriré con ellos 💀💚

yo? yo lo doy todo por el culto
@@oniichan3937 ¿Y?
he sees what's going on in the world and shares his perspective so poetically... love it. Not many people can "see its many strategies"
i genuinely love that gorillaz features so many black artists. i started listening to artists i had never heard of after hearing their features. every single artist gorillaz has ever featured is great and always deserves more listeners, even if they already have hundreds of thousands or millions.
I don't care about the skin colour of the artists, it's not like your skin gives you special musical powers haha. Gorillaz is a great project that allows artists to showcase their skills.
Millions, fu
@@RandalfElVikingo damn true!!!!💜👌🏿
Racist people always mention race… stop it…. do as Damon just surround your self with awesome people and be happy… is all about talent and not race 😐
@@RandalfElVikingo I think he means that it's nice that this band doesn't have a bias against those artists
fINALLY
this song never gets old
the way murdoc shows up whenever thundercat sings is sending me
Just got back from hearing this live and the concert was brilliant. Best concert I've ever been to.
Am i the only one that has this desperate feeling in my stomach for Gorillaz to be real? No? Ok thats fine
They walk among us
The are the kings of music in my open
I was waiting for this one, gorgeous graphic design on those lyrics, truly there was a lot of thought put into this
I love that Damon is singing with the bass line and Thundercat is singing with what at the beginning of the song sounds like keyboard, which I presume is contributed by Damon. It sounds amazing.
Would be a good song for a Halloween party
Definetly one of the best songs of the gorrilaz
2D:they taught themselves to be occult Me the first time i heard this:they taught themselves to be a cow
The song is fire! The clip is simply gorgeous! I've been growing up with Gorillaz and listening to it for a very very long time, I just love this band and their songs! ♡ (translated from the translator, that's why it's so crooked) ^^ ♡
Yeah i love Gorillaz but Thundercat fits in with them so smoothly. Please make more music!
Me encantaria poder estudiar ingles para poder entender estas increibles canciones, amo
I love this song so much ❤️
I swear this is their best song
Grew up listening to this band. Glad they're still making bangers👌🏾👌🏾
This Song will still Slap 20 years from now💮
nunca erram.🇧🇷
Verdade
SIM, MITOS
The translate function even changes the flag, lol.
@@Kopeleto EEUU flag, right? xD
@@Kopeleto lol
at 1:34 I stg bro it sounds like 2-D is saying "into my floormats every day" that's all I can hear 💀
Im not the only one who heard 'occult' as 'a cow' right
This next release is already shaping up to be a modern classic
Espectacular ❤️🥺
I can't be the only one who thought he was saying "I told them to be a cow. I didn't know their many strategies."
3:12 How long has noodle been taller than russel for? I havent seem them stand side by side in awhile and this is pretty surprising to me
By the way love the song keep it up!
Hello
@GoriIIazVevo 🅥 bacoooooottt
Hermoso😻🙏
Lo mismo digo
I like itttttt
@don't be surprised mas falso xd
Hermano aqui se habla ingles
Yes
Huh. Lyrics I had misheard: "They thought themselves to be a cult" "I drank to write" "In the end it will be gray"
I like how the official lyrics are not the actual lyrics. Like a qanon message.
Um abraço do Brasil, gorillaz é bom demais
This song is one of the best youve done me thinks❤️
based random checkmark person
i woulda sworn on all my unborn children thundercat was swapping between "forever cult" and "forever cold"
I love everything about this song and the new lore being added, and I love how Murdoc pops up during the 'cult' lines
No me canso de escucharla, Cuando me voy a dormir es lo primero que escucho SON LA MEJOR BANDA DEL MUNDO MUNDIAL Y AGRADESCO QUE LOS CONOCI Porque no puedo pasar un día sin escuchar sus obras de arte
A great song no matter how many times you listen to it. Damon is great.
N word Island the ai won't let me say it without deleting it
I swear to god i can't ignore the clicks in the background....it sounds like a clock. the music is great with those clicks! it sounds like something is gonna happen when the ticks stop
Damon Albarn imo has a very interesting vocal style. It's very subtle and stylish
Amoooo(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
Troppo.
Gorillaz + Thundercat is the combo the world needed 🙌
YESSS! A lyrical video :D Can’t wait to see you guys October 3rd!!!!! I’m just counting down the days WAITING
Love how Everytime it said "forever cult" it showed Murdoc lol
why couldnt i have found Gorillaz sooner this is the best band ive ever come across, i love you Gorillaz cant wait to see u in seattle 💗
Better late than never.
perfeito gorillaz
Concordo
THATS IT! my favourite part of this song will always be “They taught themselves to be *OCCULT* ” …”They didn’t know it’s many strategies” “ *THEY TAUGHT THEMSELVES TO BE OCCULT* “ …”they didn’t know it’s many strategies”
"I drink to riot, oh you should try it..."
Who knew being a cow needs to be strategic
I love this song
I have 3 core bands that define my taste in music when I was a child, Linkin Park, Daft Punk and the only one that is still alive Gorillaz
Even though "Cracker Island" is the easiest Gorillaz song for me to understand in who knows how long, I still needed a lyric video like this. I never noticed the quick "Fantasies" or "Fantasy" lyrics in particular until right now! 😅
I love this song ❤️❤️❤️
I love gorillaz 💕
These guys notice much more than the rest of the world
Why do I feel like the line "it ate up their paradise" is referring to the time in the lore where the gasmask guy (can't remember his name) got the planes with guns to destroy the plastic beach.
Obviamente puesto en bucle, grande Gorillaz 😎🍷 Forever cult ;)
Conocí esta banda por mi mejor amiga y gracias a ella estoy aquí me ví literalmente el universo de Gorillaz y todo eso me aprendí los nombres de los integrantes y mi amiga se puso feliz en sí la banda es muy chevere en fin
First 20 or so times I heard this I thought the lyric was "they told themselves 'don't be a c*nt'. They didn't know of any strategies"
My dumb@$$ still hears "They taught themselves to be a cow"
Se ha convertido en una de mis favoritas 👌🏻😅😅😅❤️
Gorillaz es eterno
its just me or the 3rd line can you hear "they were planning to seize the day" i know its not that but i keep hearing it
I love this cause it sounds like a late 2000s song i would’ve grown up with, it literally sounds soo nostalgic!
Yooo
Still killing it 20 years later
It's weird that I haven't get bored repeatedly listening to this song since the beginning of its release. Normally, I become boring in a song in less than a week if I listened to it rapidly, but not this one.
Tell murdoc for me that he should stay a wizard forever
Soy adicta a esa canción y a otras de gorillaz, simplemente amo la voz de 2d y tmb las de las colaboraciones con otros cantantes
I love this ✨
This so is amazing. I swear it’s years old. But amazing none the less. PleaE make more music. Easily some of the best made ever. Soul child remix, plastic beach, whole albums. Amazing work.
Omfg gorillaz killin it every era they've been putting out music. The ability to switch genres and genre-bend the way you guys do. My God, I can only pray for that much musical talent 🙏 🙌 ✨️
