| Gorillaz – On Melancholy Hill Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Well, there's no denying that Noodle and Murdoc have always had chemistry. Weird as that sounds. Murdoc is obviously a little eccentric, but Noodle always seems to know what's going through his head. In "Kids With Guns," watch the two of them on that tank. Murdoc kind of looks off to the side, then looks eh, to the other side, and kind of directs his gaze to Noodle. Noodle pretends not to notice, but there's a smile on her face. 2-D may sing this song, but Murdoc probably wrote it. He's the band leader, after all. It was inevitable that Noodle was going to make the transition into womanhood. The so called "fan art" was, in my opinion, propaganda. There might be some symbolism in these music videos and her maturity. For instance, after her "death" to childhood in windmill, you see her reemerge finally as a woman. The process of maturity is melancholy. I think the creators of Gorillaz believe this. Even literally speaking, the years between childhood and adulthood have been filled with nothing but pain and fear for Noodle. Noodle has always had an optimistic disposition, but beyond that, she has always been hard-edged and volatile. She is quick to combat, from giving the finger to taking out her gun. I think this is what makes her an artist: her struggle between carefree idealism and jaded reality. Murdoc obviously really misses her. Well, EVERYONE misses Noodle!! But instead of Murdoc being glad that Noodle is finally of age, I think he feels sad that she suffers. I think, more than anything, he wants her to be safe and happy. |
