Lyric: BABY QUEEN/GORILLAZ I met the princess from Thailand again She had grown up Into a queen Down in the abyss where the night Never turns to daylight She kept me in a Polaroid That was pinned up on her wall Under Garuda's mirror lights She takes flight Yeah the kid's alright You've grown up Baby Queen You've grown up Baby Queen (You've grown up) She fell into the generals (Oh, Baby Queen) On the watch all around her I fell into the vanity The mirrored lights of our dreams You've grown up (Baby Queen) In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, drеams) You've grown up (Baby Queen) In my dreams wherе you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams) (Baby Queen) In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams) You've grown up (Baby Queen) In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams) You've grown up (Baby Queen) In my dreams where you've been (Dreams, dreams, dreams) Baby Queen You were in my dreams
Don't know... It's not the same still... Back then in 2001-2010 was like something more special, more cartoonish and all, now they seem not that popular and etc or maybe... I had grown... :/
@@yesucook6935 “i completely agree, and share this feeling aswell… so creatives… and amainzing universe… the best 😁” imagine copy and pasting to 4 different people
@@judebelli9098 Yeah I like these new beats but I think the old school ones better.. broken, rhinestone eyes , andromeda , Dare , tommorow comes today and many more
Gods, the line "you've grown up" hits me so hard. I have a problem of thinking about the past, when things were easier, and this just.. hits me like a truck.
Man, I can't even explain how much gratitude that I have for the years of great music from Gorillaz. Every single album has been like a soundtrack for those different times in my life..
i remember seeing somewhere the album is going to be released in February, which is a good birthday gift, to me (gonna be my 20th birthday) and those who are born in February and been listening to them their whole life
the song is literally about what the lyrics are saying lol. Damon said in an interview that one of the Princesses of Thailand attended a Blur concert back in 1997 and staged dived from her throne into the crowd when "Song 2" played. She was a teenager back then, but Damon had a dream where he met her again and now shes all grown up.
I thought my DREAM was to see Gorillaz in concert but I went to a concert in my HOMETOWN in October and now I just want to go to more Gorillaz concerts! I went by myself and did not feel alone in the slightest bit! Even hugged a stranger! My gorillaz experience is in my top 5 best times of my life no doubt! ❤
Me too i recently just went to one. i spent like 5 hours to get to it and let me tell you it was sooo worth it. I really want to go to another one so bad because it was just the most fun i’ve ever had!!
OMG SAME but with my mom I’m only 16 so I can’t really go alone and it was in Philadelphia and I’m normally a quiet person so I didn’t really know what to do. But that was the most exciting and literal breathtaking experience I had in a long time. I was so excited I was literally shaking and I sang so loud ( which I never do ) . I was expecting my voice to go. So honestly the concert was a absolute 20/10
They played in my city in October too always wanted to go to their concert and experience their music in person. And got the chance to do so alone and dance with the stranger next to me. Felt like I was surrounded by friends and family that day. Everyone was so welcoming and kind to each. Saw a lot of stranger hugging each other and sharing drinks
WOW! IT'S ACTUALLY TRUE!!! Once a new song comes out, you listen to it the first time and think "Yeah, it's good I guess." But you decide to check it again one time and it's just a BLAST!
First time I heard it I thought "Hopefully Cracker Island and New Gold aren't the only good songs from the album because this one even doesn't come close" After hearing it a few times, it's my favorite song from the album so far!
I literally grew up listening to Gorillaz because my dad used to listen to their music all the time, after so many years their songs still don’t fail to amaze me!
They were my first cassette tape my dad let me choose back in 2000. It's like Damon has been my 2nd father since. I almost cried when they opened with m1a1 in Portland recently. This song made me shed a tear.
my cousin passed away 5 years ago and this was his favourite band and gorillaz was played at his funeral. ever since i’ve loved this band and the music they have made over the years. thank you for making music❤❤
Listening to this song for the first time actually got me emotional. I wasn’t alive when Gorillaz debuted, but I’ve fallen in love with this band. This song has just really spoken to me because now I’m grown up and in university, and though I’m far from my family, I can feel their support from hundreds of miles away. Thank you Gorillaz for simply existing ❤
@@crazydaveissexy9458 Yeah “ok”, I’m guessing you can’t relate, and that’s “ok”, just don’t make comments like this because it makes other’s feelings seem insignificant, which is not “ok” OK?
Gorillaz- album that introduced me to music after my birth Demon days and dsides- edgy side came out of me. Plastic beach and the fall- picked me up when i fell to my lowest Humanz- party life Now now- reformed my heart after someone broke it Song machine- gave me hope while living in a world on fire Cracker island- life has never been better
I feel like this song has been missing from my life for so long… and now that i’ve found it, it feels i’ve known it forever. It makes me nostalgic about something i never knew about. Love this song.
I really do appreciate gorillaz for being able to have such a diverse music and creatively combining different genres. Will definitely remain one of my favorite bands forever! This song is so calming I love it
You have a way of making a brand new song feel like something I've been listening to since I was a kid, something I listened to everytime my heart was broken.... Well done pals.
I can just put this and humility back to back on a playlist cause the vibes of those two songs just sound so good together with this. Also if I need to get away from all the noise I will so put this on just to melt away with the vibes.
Baby Queen made me a muse. I checked what the song was written about, exciting, Really exciting. I heard it on repeat and started writing There is no doubt that it reminds me of Melancholy Hill
i'm listening them for the first time in my life. My brother is sucha big fan, and i've listened just like 3 or 4 songs (the most mainstreamin'). But now, after hearin' DARE they catch me totally, every album is good af, i can't blieve how much time i've lost without hearin' this band lol
It's like it's mixed with tomorrow come today, plastic beach and sleeping powder. Then these three songs combine together with this beautiful relaxing music. When I started listening to this music, it's like I'm having a good time in my life, like no distraction, no hard days, just a normal life and day.
Sinceramente... Gorillaz a pesar de los años que pasan nunca nos decepcionaran, sus canciones son únicas y especiales que nos hacen sentir una emoción tan única y especial al escucharlas, esperemos que el siguiente álbum tenga mucho apoyo y mucho éxito.✨
@@apc2304 literalmente estas desaprobando un proyecto que la banda aprobo, entendes lo ironico que es tu comentario? y el gran fan que eres de la banda?
@@apc2304 a pesar de que no soy tan fan de Bad Bunny, no lo odio, simplemente no disfruto su música. Espero con asias la colaboración, ya gorillaz en song machine hizo una colaboración con reaguetoneros en Español y estuvo pasable en mi opinión. Quiero ver el resultado ahora.
David Paredes..mi hijo igual que tu (29).. yo ya de 60 y los amo!!! Los acabamos de ver en Austin este pasado 30 de sep....todavia no me recupero de la emocion! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
hoy tengo 27, cuando era niño y hacia zapping y me encontraba estas extrañas caricaturas cortitas ni siquiera sabia q eran pero me encantaba la musica y los personajes, ya quiero q salga el album completo
i know noodle isn’t from thailand but i’m imagining her and 2D meeting up again after she’s fully grown up and moved away and this song plays in the background and they see each other for the first time in so long
Porfin oficial mente ya la había escuchado por el FIFA pero aún así amo esta canción literalmente me sorprende como Gorillaz sigue haciendo música increíble que suena increíble en definitiva mi banda favorita
I’ve been with you every step of the way. I open up my phone to this song in Thailand. Never thought I would be here and in love. Reminiscing how far how I’ve come. Appreciating every moment. The moments leading up to here. Thinking back my childhood first love🪔 and dreaming about my future with my new love. You’ve always been there. Thank you for contributing to soundtrack of my life, Gorrilaz.
First heard this on Fifa 23 and it immediately went up there with one of the best songs in Fifa history!! I had it on repeat. Fifa and Gorillaz are a match made in heaven
Instantly one of their best songs. It's not often I play songs on repeat; I'm too picky. I find myself listening to this song several times and coming back later to do it again. Such a damn good song.
My parents were really young and pretentious, I was still a baby when Gorillaz came out and they liked it so much they decided it was gonna be "my" band and I LOVED it: there's even a VHS recording of a birthday of mine in the early 00's in which Clint Eastwood (and other songs from that era) were playing in the background while I did my best to sing them, which wasn't really easy since my native language is spanish lol. This may sound kind of creepy and even cringy too, but my dad liked to refer to me as Noodle and he saw himself on 2D. He's no longer with us, so I don't know if he was aware of the fact that instead of being static characters they actually grew and aged... Gorillaz has been part of my life since forever but this year I'm really getting into them again and I think it's really curious how Noodle's development mirrored my own to the point that, physically, we're really similar. I wonder if somwhere, my dad realized that too.
Gorillaz demuestra que a veces es bueno regresar a los origenes, esta canción suena tanto al Gorillaz inicial, simple sencillo, melancolico, me hizo remontar al 2001 cuando me compre su primer disco con mis domingos, yo tenía 11 años y desde entonces los escucho.
sometimes I feel bad that I missed out on gorillaz before phase 6, but being here for these new releases is so exciting! to new fans, you have a lot of music to look forward to ;)
I've been a fan for about 10 years now and I do feel lucky to experience the changes through the years. I can definitely see people listening to them decades from now.
I was 5 and feel good inc was on the tv🥺 all i wanted to know was what happening an when i learnt there was a whole lore with reoccurring characters to it all i immediately fell in love with the group! Started with the animation but i stayed for the music 😌
this is so amazing, i love your music so much! i seriously cant wait for cracker island. gorillaz never fails to release amazing music, even after all these years. keep making amazing music gorillaz!❤
I've listened to Gorillaz since 2004..I heard some of their songs back in 2002. RU-vid made me discover this band and the band Blur, Damon Albarn's solo songs and album.. I've been a fan ever since..some of my favorite bands
My first song from gorillaz was rhinestone eyes. I listened to that song way back. Probably 5+ years ago. I found the song magic city a few months ago. I slowly started liking their songs more and more. Cracker island is what really reeled me in. Ever since that when a new song comes out I’m so happy
I lived 12 years sinking into depression... when Gorillaz returned and Saturnz Barz released, I, who didn't even like Gorillaz, started listening non-stop to cheer myself up. It's songs that relax, like this one, that made me get out of depression, and it's songs like Tranz and Mommentary Bliss that remind me I'm "alive." I love music, and now I love Gorillaz. :) Without realizing it, Gorillaz even affected my art, my characters started to come out with features similar to Hewlett's style, and I love it. One day I will buy his art book.
Hace 4 años escucho a Gorillaz y desde entonces no puedo dejar de escucharlos, cada canción que sacan me bendicen los oídos,Gorillaz me ha acompañado mientras crecía
Man, this song really fits in with the vibe of this album. I feel like each song Gorillaz produces is unique in its own special way. I really hope that Gorillaz continue their legacy and continue to make amazing songs for us to enjoy. Long live Gorillaz! 🦍
I've been listening to this song since it came out. It's so dreamlike and upbeat it legitimately makes me happy. I cannot wait for Cracker Island to drop.
I am glad to listen to Gorillaz in my dull and rotten days, from which I am already tired. And the gorillas change everything and life becomes more pleasant. And this song, another masterpiece that I will listen to again and again as clint eastwood 😚
And this is my new favourite Gorillaz song. It's amazing. Thank you, Gorillaz, for continuing to make wonderful music and new lore for me to escape into!!!
My goal is to take my kids to a Gorillaz concert before I die. I just want to jam out with my babies and show them thee best band to have ever existed.
So far loving all the songs that came out for this album--usually i don't like one or two from gorillaz, but they all good so far! Excited for the whole album to drop🔥
No puedo sacarme esta canción de la cabeza, es demasiado buena y no solo como es en sí la canción sino que me trae recuerdos de una gran amiga de secundaria y ya 3 años después de que no nos vemos. Y en una ocasión nos volvimos a encontrar y ahora se puso muy hermosa y eso que antes me parecía la chica más hermosa que había visto y con la canción me encanta en que dice "ella se convirtió en una reina" & en "como has crecido mi baby queen" lo cual encaja como ella cambió tanto en personalidad y físicamente, lo cual lo admito ella es especial para mí, ella cambió mi vida cuando hable con ella por primera vez y desde que nos distanciamos he querido buscar a alguien que me haga sentir lo mismo pero se que no podré estar con ella ya que nos distanciamos por la pandemia & en las carreras que decidumos y además ella ya tiene pareja y me pongo triste en recordarlo pero la canción cuando la escucho me trae recuerdos hermosos de ella y en la letra me doy cuenta en la gran chica que es y en la que se ha convertido, ella siempre será mi baby queen...
I loved hearing the story behind this song during the Sydney show. It's more beautiful than I expeted it to be, thank you again for the wonderful music!
I hate to ruin your fun but the guy who met was probably ten years older than the princess since the song implies that he watched her grow up. Remember, Thailand has a lot of Western creeps walking about.
@@kevingutierrez9273 “I’m writing and recording a song about an incident when I was in Thailand and met the crown princess. This was November ’97. She was only 14 at the time, and she came to see us, and due to the very specific role the royal family play in Thailand, they put a throne next to the mixing board for her to sit in, surrounded by I don’t know how many soldiers. “Song 2” started and she stood on her throne and stage-dived into the crowd. The reason I’ve written a song about it is because I had a dream about this princess very recently; she’d grown up and we spent time in my dream together, her as a woman. So there you go: 1997 was a long time, but at the moment it’s not.” - Damon Albarn
@@kevingutierrez9273 He met her and had recently had a dream about her as an adult. She crowed surfed her guards. Not everything has to be inappropriate and creepy. He's singing about an experience.
It's cool that my mom was in college when there band started and now I'm in high school jamming out to them. I've loved them since I was a kid and I'll never stop ❤
I don't know how this album is so good, because all the songs that have come out have simply enchanted me. we hope that this quality continues in the rest of the album
As the title of Cracker Island would hint at, I feel like this is a sort of spiritual successor to Plastic Beach, with similar stylistic music choices present between both albums. This type of music also shows up on The Now Now quite a bit. It's nice.
