Gorillaz – Slow Country

  General Comment:I love how there is a faint sound of a beating heart in the beginning and throughout the song. That whooshing sound reminds me more of breathing or blood flowing in and out of the heart and throughout the body. I've had a sonogram of a major vein before and it has that whooshing sound to it
  
  These sounds give the feeling of this person having a more internal conversation in deciding what to do with their life, going to the city with these big plans to make money and get out of their current life. The city is calling to them by being something different, offering them a different lifestyle then what they are used too. Later they then decide that they are miserable and want to go back to their old, simpler life that they miss, it is now the country that is calling out to their soul, realizing the city was nothing that they had imagined.

  General Comment:City Life
  Calling me a lot
  Me and my soul
  In deep deep water
  
  Never get another chance
  So what you doing
  Gotta get money
  To keep on moving
  
  Can't stand your lonliness (X4)
  
  Shoot night life
  Been trying to have a laugh though
  You won't get money
  From doing what your loving
  
  So your moving out of city
  Better have a second chance
  We get a lot of problems
  Yeah we kicked a lot of them
  
  Can't stand your lonliness (X4)
  
  Can't stand your lonliness (X8)

  General Comment:The sample sounds like driving over a bridge to me. When I hear it, I imagine someone looking out of a window into a city that occasionally gives way to lush contryside.

  General Comment:Ive always enjoyed listnening to this song. When I hear that wind like noise I always think of being on a train. Anyways I think this song has to do with someone that did or is doing something(moving to a city) that they dont like to make money, and there thinking at first that they'll never get another chance to become wealthy if they dont do it now. They also think that they cant do what they love to be happy or make money. Then they all of a sudden just cant take it anymore and relize that there can be a second chance and you can do what you love and still be happy. They relize that there is gonne be some problems, but thats just how life is and its all worth for your true happiness.

  General Comment:this song means alot to me at least i use to live out in kansas and we moved to denver away from all my friends and my fiancee and this song reminds me off all the good times i had there and when he says cant stand the loneliness it reminds me of when i first moved and i thought i was going to go crazy cause i was all alone somewhere completely differnt . i like the second verse cause to me the 1st is about him moveing to teh city and thinking everything is going to be awesome and then he gets lonly and decied to move back ....while this is probabaly not the actuall song meaning its what i get out of it
