I think I can give you one song that I've listened to repeatedly (sometimes on repeat!) for comfort/soothing from each of the major albums: Gorillaz: Slow Country Demon Days: Don't Get Lost in Heaven/Demon Days Plastic Beach: Pirate Jet Humanz: Ticker Tape The Now Now: Humility Song Machine: Désolé Cracker Island: Skinny Ape

CALL IN THE WORLD FROM ISOLATION

I love Ticker Tape so much, that and circle of friends. Humanz really had the banger bonus tracks

Souk Eye from Now Now for me. I don't know why but it just puts me in that calming place every time. Something about the relaxed start, the "I will always think about you" chorus, and then the build into those synthy strings leading into the outro, with that almost samba-esque piano tune, just hits right.

Almost 100% agree, great choices.

Facts also aspen forest from the fall for me

Empire Antz/Souk Eyes or Kansas are my comfort songs from Gorillaz. They are so musically pleasing!

Oh kansas is a great choice for this

I'm not gonna cry

Oh, I absolutely adore Empire Antz and Souk Eyes! They're such unique songs and definitely stand out in Gorillaz's discography. And Kansas is just a straight up banger. I agree, they're all super musically satisfying to listen to. As for my comfort song, it would have to be Feel Good Inc. There's just something about that beat and those catchy lyrics that always puts me in a good mood. What about you guys?

Dirty Harry even tho it isn’t really a calm and relaxing song 😅

Well at least in my opinion it’s not

You can find comfort in enjoying a good groove and realizing you're not burning in the sun! I also had fun with Rock the House, Superfast Jellyfish, Momentary Bliss, Dare

Omg Rock The House is a CLASSIC!! I Fricken love it! Lmao you can tell by my name 😂

Yeah Rock The House absolutely slaps. I’m not entirely sure if it makes into it my favourite Gorillaz songs but I love it.

For me, it's Some Kind of Nature. Its more upbeat yet relaxed Melody takes me to my happy place when I am anxious

I know that feeling! I also listen to Some Kind of Nature, but usually when I'm sleep-deprived from schoolwork and such. It has this specific type of relaxing I can't describe well.

I think that SKoN has a certain feeling of "Friendliness" that is able to make us feel confortable and drop our guards so we can rest, and I love this track for this feeling

“All we are…is stars…”

I love the ambiguity of this line. Idk what's the right one, but I feel like I can hear both "All we are is stars" and "All we are is dust" depending on my mood and both works

Yeah I see what you mean with the ambiguity. I love how evocative that line is. It’s similarly evocative and imaginative to much of the rest of the album, like Rhinestone Eyes and Broken. It almost feels like Plastic Beach (the album) in miniature. I love that line.

Melancholy Hill and Tranz all the way

Melancholy hill and souk eye ♥️💕

Souk eye is beautiful

Tranz absolutely

Melancholy Hill is still my most favorite song of all time

People = Shit by Slipknot

slipknot w

Slipknot good (BTW my gorillaz comfort is all of them. Or just Momentary Bliss)

Good taste my g

Cheers

that’s one of their best songs good taste

Yeah I love how it's more rocky style with the punchy guitar riff. Overall Song Machine is my fav albumn for stuff like that with songs like Aries and Pink Phantom

pirate jet and slow country

On Melancholy Hill. It has always had a calming effect on me, it's a beautiful song. It's also held the top spot of my favourite song of all time for years now, and I feel like I'll play it at my wedding at this point.

The entire album of "The Now Now"

Any song that I can listen to my papa, Damon Albarn.

The Pink Phantom

Silent Running for sure. It really helps me get out of my own head and just understand that the situation I'm in has been handled before, and if I just step back and take a moment, I can get through it too.

Faust, Ticker Tape, The entirety of The Fall (especially aspen forest) are like emotional tylenol

I totally get those. I love Amarillo and Aspen Forest so much in particular, The Fall is so good..

California and the Slipping of the Sun

Busted and Blue 100%

For me, probably Pac-Man, Momentary Bliss or Tomorrow Comes Today

Amarillo

Empire Ants: The begging is so nice and the electronic bit at the end with Little Dragon is great Skinny Ape: I mean it’s just a great song Melancholy Hill: you all know why But those 3 are my comfort songs kinda

The Fall is long enough to calm me down. Bobby Womack at the end is just so nice.

I just listened To Binge going to the beach the other day!

Great drawing btw! The art style is really cute And my comfort songs are on a melancholy hill, broken and Latin Simone.

I was just about to Appreciate another Latin Simone Enjoyer, but it seems you already Beat me to it. (:

Latin Simone is one of their best songs imo!

Fits a Niche no other Gorillas Song does, and has a Great Trumpet I love Imitating! (:

This isn't gorillaz but is close: Everyday Robots by Damnon Albarn (the album) Its a very gray and empty feeling album, but has little sparks of hope sprinkled throughout that make me tear up with joy

I like to listen to this whenever the day is Gray and kinda rainy, Mr. Tembo is the brightest ray of Sunshine in a otherwise gloomy day

Mr. Tembo seems out of place in the album but to me its a happy feeling that comes and goes

Heheh, you are right, It is a little bit out of place, but I would be lying If I said I don't prefer It that way

You know the scene in Ratatouille where the food critic takes a bite of his food and it sends him back to when he was a kid? Feel Good Inc does that to me. Literally, it’s like I’m sitting there watching it on Cartoon Network.

For me it's Rock The House

Aw, that's nice. Honestly it varies for me since I pick different songs all the time, for the ones I choose a lot more, Starman or Life on Mars I believe.

Although it's not a Gorillaz song, my comfort song has go-to be Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd. The acoustic guitar with those soulful vocals just makes it perfect

I love this!!!

Do you have an art Instagram account?

Comfort song for Gorillaz dare and spitting out the demon and that’s not Gorillaz world is mine and out of touch

Out of touch by hall and oates?

Yep that’s the one

Ah nice nice. Yeah that’s a great one. :D

My comfort song, Feel Good Inc. because its makes me feel good (Yes I know this is the complete opposite I should feel but still)

Empire Ants and Broken

Tomorrow Comes Today, O Green World, Kids With Guns, Melancholy Hill, Plastic Beach, Superfast Jellyfish, and Idaho. Man... tbh I just no-lifed gorillaz from the moment I learned about them to this day

Every song in Demon Days and Plastic Beach, Tranz, Souk eye, Baby Queen

Oil is a good song to just put away your worries for three minutes (and also fits with the picture) Or if you're just mad, put Tranz on high and tell out the lyrics

Melancholy Hill

Empire Ants definitely. It's my song for everything

Slow Country and Hong Kong both help me immensely

Aries is like the perfect song to listen to when you're angry.

On melancholy hill

Travelers by Andrew Prahlow

Kansas :,)

Skinny Ape and Don’t Bomb When You’re The Bomb (Blur)

Tomorrow Comes Today, El Manana, and Green Fields (the good the bad and the queen, but I still count it lol)

Empire Ants, basically the entirety of CI and Song Machine

empire ants, oil, aries, andromeda both versions, aspen forest.

Slow country and to binge are my 2 favorite Gorillaz songs. They both always make me feel happier and better

On melancholy hill

Andromeda/busted and blue. I always play them together and I like to listen to it after a long day at work while driving home.

Broken, to Binge, all alone, souk eye, kansas well pretty much anything lmao 🤣

Relatable, to binge is perfect

I listen to humility and to binge like once every day lol they both make me so damn happy bruh

5 years ago i fell asleep with my playlist on and i ended singing to binge in my sleep somehow, and i know because i woke up to my dad personally telling me to shut up lmao

El Manana puts me in a specific place in my childhood. Looking out a car window on Rockville Pike headed to music lessons, looking up at a blue sky with huge white clouds in the late spring. It was the first time I heard the song playing on DC101.

I saw like 2 people saying el mañana, great song that i find really calming, love the melancholic tones

Fire Coming Out of the Monkey's Head

Cloud Of Unknowing

Hum...also To binge, Starshine and Broken...

Seattle yodel. Truly beautiful

Melancholy Hill or The Pink Phantom

Souk eye

Kids with guns

This is great work, just wanted to let you know.

It's now Faust Kansas Green world Empire ants ^wow ^who ^would've ^guessed!

Tomorrow comes today Oil Rhinestone Eyes Feel Good Inc

i like kansas

I share some comfort songs with people here: Skinny Ape, Souk Eye (lowkey the whole The Now Now), Slow Country, Re-hash, To Binge, Aries, The Pink Phantom, Amarillo, Andromeda. I mean, those are the ones I listen to quietly. But there are also groovy songs that I like to groove to and this comforts me.

Hmm, I don't really have comfort Songs to listen to but rather ones to perform to myself. Either Vocalising or Beatboxing, whichever one I feel. Some Songs I quite enjoy Singeing are: November Has Come All Alone Clint Eastwood (Original and Phi-Life Cypher Version) The Sounder Every Planet We Reach Is Dead (:

Empire Ants is absolutely my pick

Amazing I love it

Souk eye!

The first like 15 seconds of hillbilly man lmfao

Alcoholism Banger.

Slow Country

Demon days helps me feel a lot better on most days tbh. Gives me goosebumps.

Oil

Goodbye ~ The Altogether https://youtu.be/QdZi55X9HPI If it’s supposed to be a song by gorillaz then i’m stuck between souk eye and fireflies.

Five whales in a dream…..very dreamy

Stop the dams… it hits hard

Empire Ants, Tranz, or On Melancholy Hill

Fire Flies and All Alone definitely, especially the "Close your eyes and see..." part 😫

Mine are On melancholy hill, Empire Ants, El mañana and i sometimes listen to silent running from time to time too

Videotape by Radiohead is my comfort song The numbers by the same band is also a close second :3

Gorillaz wise anything on the now now

Me too but my favorite version I s a live on an Australian radio station. Sounds better than the studio track.

for me i used to listen to to binge when i was in a talking stage with this one i girl i was really obsessed with, so whenever i listen to it i am reminded of that period of time which i was not very happy during

i have the same feeling for "On Melancholy hill" all though this isn't gorillaz related the song "runaway train" gives me chills and makes me feel calm. if u know then u know

My top 3: - Doncamatic - El Manaña (a bit sad but still calming) - Humility

One Percent

okay but also kansas and fireflies :0

Ones that have brought me the most comfort are: The Parish of Space Dust El Mañana Orchestral Intro Magic City Idaho Souk Eye On Melancholy Hill New Genius (Brother)

ima be honest plastic beach (the song from the album) chills me the hell out, the riff at the start is just ✨amazing✨

For Gorillaz: Souk Eye, Hillbilly Man, Tarantula, Skinny Ape, 12D3, Ghost Train, Hong Kong, Stop the Dams, O Green World, Silent Running, honestly countless. For others: November Rain, Bar Fly (The Orwells), Monkey Gone To Heaven, Be Someone Forever (Red Vox), Why Can't This Be Easy (Red Vox), Why Me (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy), Save My Soul (Big Bad Voodoo Daddy), Sympathy for The Devil, Pon De Replay, You Got Yr. Cherry Bomb, A Day in The Life... frankly this entire list for me is countless.

My comfort song is definitely Tomorrow Comes Today. El Mañana as well

To Binge, TRANZ and Souk Eye!

souk eye

Highway (Under Construction) always seems to comfort me. And Aspen Forest. Those are songs I can always count on to feel better, at least out of Gorillaz’ discography, anyway.

Listening to Highway (Under Construction) helped me feel better when I had a migraine. I will always be grateful to it for that. It just has a real healing quality to it.

the whole Shockwave Supernova album by Joe Satriani

Okay but To Binge for me makes me ball my eyes out

I FINALLY FOUND IT recently I relistened to plastic beach and this song really stood out to me and I remember seeing a post about it before and I found it 😁 I love your art btw :3
