Everyone's talking Murdoc and 2D which is understandable, but does anyone else see that Russel is mainly concerned about Noodles safety. She was safe in his mouth at the beginning, he helps her put onto the lighthouse. Holding her hand, holding her wrist as they go through the portal. He's concerned about her and only her here. It's so cute like an older brother protecting his lil sis

It's character development. This was basically all four of them confronting their past (2D's fear of whales, Noodle's mask that used to hide her bruises from escaping hell, and Russell turning into a giant mutant after a psychotic episode when Del was exorcised from him) but focuses on Murdoc as Plastic Beach was mainly about him. Around Phase 3, Murdoc abandoned his search for Noodle and opted to create a cyborg clone of her to be his bodyguard and new guitarist, replaced Russ with a drum machine, kidnapped and held 2D captive the entire time. Murdoc helping all of them get up the top of the light house and going last shows how much he's changed and 2D being the one to save him in the end prolly means he's forgiven Murdoc for treating him horribly for years.

The brief scene of Cyborg Noodle awake and sinking gives me chills everytime. I know we may not, but I hope we see her again.

This video is insane. Not only are they returning to their roots from phase 3, but they are really looking back at the memories they left behind and watching everything get demolished by some beast.

Here’s a list of some things important things I noticed: -Murdoc arrives wearing the mask of the Boogeyman -Noodle falls out of Russ’s mouth, just like her reveal in the Rhinestone Eyes animatics -2D throws up a miniature Massive Dick in a reference to Cyborg Noodle’s octopus in the Melancholy Hill music video (the same squid can be seen in this video) -Russel first appears on the island as his giant self from the Plastic Beach Storyline -The skeleton wearing glasses is Daley from the Doncamatic music video (thx for the fix comment section) -Skeleton of the Black Cloud Pilot from the Rhinestone Eyes animatics -Noodle finds her cracked butterfly mask washed up in the sand from the Plastic Beach Storyline -Cyborg Noodle washed up in Daley’s submarine (also from the Doncamatic music video) graffitied with the word RINGO. This is the name of the ship that Murdoc encountered in his book “The Book of Murdoc” -Murdoc sheds a tear after seeing the state of Cyborg Noodle -Leee John: King of The Sea -Leee John has 2 broken chain cuffs on his wrists, possibly revealing that he has been held captive under Plastic Beach since the very beginning of that album -The ruined ship where the Boogeyman summoned the crew of the Black Cloud in the Rhinestone Eyes animatics -The submarine sinks into the depths as Leee John begins his destruction on Plastic Beach, revealing that Cyborg Noodle is STILL ALIVE! -During the destruction frames, Big Rick Black’s Record Shack can be seen. This is where Murdoc first abducted Russ to be a part of the band all the way back in Phase 1 and that gets destroyed along with Plastic Beach -As the portal reappears to help the band members escape the sinking island, Murdoc is almost left behind to die before 2D reaches through the portal to save him. This could possibly be 2D paying back Murdoc for leaving Murdoc at the docks during the Desole music video. Alrighty, that’s about all the major things that I noticed. Edit: I should probably include that the Pink Phantom escapes into the sky as everyone arrives on Plastic Beach

I think we can all agree that plastic beach was a very traumatic time for the gorillaz, and the fact they go back to watch all that burn to the ground and kind of re-live it again makes them grow closer. And especially 2D and murdoc. They grew closer and learned to apologize and forgive eachother. Its a big step for murdoc

I think noone is talking enough about Cyborg Noodle, she's been alone stuck in the island for years , alive but probably paralyzed , and when she sees the guys coming back , the only thing she gets is getting the only land in miles destroyed and her submarine going deep into the dark depths of the ocean , as she is only able to look up for them. I don't care if she's a robot, that must be one of the most horrible things to feel, and probably knowing that they won't come back for her.

When you think about it, this video is Murdoc having to confront his mistakes to a pretty severe extent. Plastic Beach was a disaster for everyone in the group, one that he pretty much hand-crafted: - He created Cyborg Noodle to replace Noodle after she went missing. - He was the one who pissed off the Boogeyman and his pirates and got people killed as the band was forced to split up. - He was the one who had the band relocate to Plastic Beach in the first place. In other words, pretty much most (if not all) of Plastic Beach is Murdoc’s fault. And in this video, when they all wash up on the shore, that’s why Murdoc’s immediately bummed out. Amid the band basically replacing him with Ace for a while, and then willingly leaving him out (as seen in the other Song Machine videos), they’re now brought to the biggest reminder of how terrible he’s been to all of them. And maybe he’s trying to get better, but Plastic Beach still stands as a monument to the terrible, self-centered things that Murdoc has done, and as another reason for the band to never forgive him. That’s also why Lost Chord (and Song Machine Season 1 as a whole) are so crucial to his character. Throughout the season, we’ve seen and heard that Murdoc is TRYING to be better. He knows he messed up, and he wants to take it all back. The biggest obstacle there is his own selfishness, and his awful treatment of the band thus far. That’s why Noodle and Russell are shown to be skeptical of him trying to get involved again, and why 2D is still constantly protected by the both of them, even as he’s come out of his shell in recent years. This video is the culmination of that; when confronted with a literal life-or-death situation, Murdoc finally gets to see if the band thinks saving, and worth keeping around. And sure, Noodle and Russ are quick to bolt and leave him behind, but *2D goes back.* 2D, the one whose nickname comes from the very first injuries that Murdoc inflicted on him (2 dents, cuz his eyes were all wonky after Murdoc ran him over twice). 2D, who has been used and abused by Murdoc over the years, forgave him. And whether or not that’s justified isn’t up to us; it’s up to Damon, and Jamie, and everyone else involved with the group. Song Machine S1 has been a narrative of finding brightness in the darkest times (which we’ve had a lot of, recently) and comfort in an odd world. By extension, saving Murdoc may not be the most justifiable action, but it was one built on hope. And, if Song Machine, the bigger Gorillaz narrative, or 2020 in general has taught us anything, it’s that hope is what’s gonna get us through this. also more like seeea john hahahah e: you guys are so cool and creative, all the elaboration and alternate takes beneath this comment and all the support is so great. the gorillaz fanbase is the BEST

I'm not usually one to hold a grudge. I love seeing redemption arcs in characters when they've done something awful and are trying to repent. However, after this many awful choices, I'm starting to think Murdoc should've just died in the wave of shit when he was escaping prison like we all thought.

It's been more than a year since this come out and I still scream when 2-D grabs Murdoc's hand and saves him, is just amazing

I love the subtle references here. For me, my favorite one here is the skeletal remains of the dude from Doncamatic. What I imagine happened to him is during the song, he was basically making his way to meet the band maybe for a collab or something. Only to arrive with nobody present. His submarine not having much fuel left, he was there. Alone to perish. I could be wrong but if this is true, this is one hell of a sad and bit of a cruel way to die. Traveling so far only to see nothing and die for it.

2D coming back for Murdoc is literally the most heartwarming thing I’ve ever seen.

Someone's probably already said this but it's just stuck with me how Murdoc was about to be left stranded on the place he used to call home, and the place that was basically a prison for 2D was kidnapped and held captive there by Murdoc against his will, got constantly abused by him, sat terrified in his room by the thing he's scared of the most (whales), fell into a deep depression; it was probably the lowest point for him. Plastic Beach was all Murdoc's doing, and he was afraid of being stuck there alone, stranded in what's a dark past, but *2D*, the person whom Murdoc has inflicted so much pain onto, came back to save him from the place that was once a hell. You can tell Murdoc regrets everything, the way he shuts his eyes after pulling the mask off, the way he cries seeing Cyborg Noodle. I would assume 2D had forgiven him, which is why he saved him.

Two years have passed since this song released, a lot has happened and it`s still a banger, thank you Gorillaz, much love to you guys and everyone in the community!!

Yup. You can see everyone letting go. Noodles mask was destroyed, Russell lost his gigantism , murdoc lost cyborg noodle, and 2d got rid of moby dick

2D reaching out to Murdoc is the most important symbol in all of Gorillaz, I think. The whole song machine phase was about Murdoc losing control, not feeling needed anymore, falling into depression. In Désolé, he was crying on the couch, at the end of The pink phantom, he showed up, seeming desperate for attention. In the past, it was the opposite. Murdoc had all the power, controlling and abusing 2D. It all changed in Humanz, when 2D got free of Murdocs control, showing in his white eyes. All of that combining, it is so powerful seeing 2D reaching out for Murdoc, showing he cares about him, despite everything Murdoc has done to him. He showed Murdoc doesn't need to worry, he is still an important part of the group and is not left behind.

But instead "Dang he really did go harder!" He went so hard he literally started blasting the place with heat/lazer vision.

Damon once something along the lines of : " I don't know why people keep getting appealed to Gorillaz " and to that I say that the 2d animation alone makes it worth watching but the music is also do enticing that it's crazy, like everything about Gorillaz is just amazing, no matter what time, Gorillaz is timeless

WHEN MURDOC REALLY THOUGHT THEY LEFT HIM BEHIND AND 2Ds ALL LIKE SIKE ❤️😩

that final moment of 2D going back to save murdoc is not only a great moment, but it symbolizes the themes of the music video really well. instead of festering on the trauma and feelings of the past and letting murdoc die alone and helpless (like he debatably may deserve for everything he’s done), 2D forgives and moves past it all. he doesn’t let those past emotions cloud his judgement or keep him “chained” down, and he goes back to save murdoc. it’s really powerful!

Hence why they're sad, because they're reminded of what they once were. Fits in nicely with the theme of Feel Good Inc, as it was big music who forced them to be who they are

It's been better ever since Murdoc came back after his time in jail. Because the bad guy from power puff girls (I don't remember his name) was an even bigger bully. I've noticed the eyes of 2D aren't always black anymore, he's not taunted anymore by Murdoc. They actually became friends and I think he forgave Murdoc, as it shows here because he came back for him. Also, in Desolé, 2D left Murdoc, this might be some sort of repayment for that as well. I really think they've grown to become great friends

There’s no debate. Murdoc would’ve deserved to be alone after everything he’s done. But I’m glad 2D went back for him. Maybe that can improve their relationship.

It's kinda fitting this video is Plastic Beach themed because the song the video's for sounds like a Plastic Beach sea-side that time forgot
