Slow Country

Gorillaz · Gorillaz

City life.
Calling me all the time
And my soul
Geared to attack
Never get a better chance
So what you doing?
Gotta get money.
ain't quite what you're doing.

(I) can't stand the loneliness.
can't stand your loneliness
can't stand your loneliness
can't stand your loneliness

(I) Should not lie,
I'm tryin' not to laugh though,
You won't get money
from doing what you're loving
I'm moving out of city
Victor of a second chance,
Got a lot of problems,
Gotta get rid of 'em

I can't stand the loneliness.
can't stand your loneliness
can't stand your loneliness
can't stand your loneliness

la la la la la la la la la la (messes up) la la la la
la la la la la la la la la la
laaa lalalala laaa la la la la
mmm mmm

Can't stand the lonliness,
can't stand the lonliness
Can't stand the lonliness
Can't stand the lonliness...

(doo doo...doo doo...doo doo...doo doo)

Slow Country

Slow Country stands as a standout track from Gorillaz's self-titled debut album, released in 2001. The song showcases the band's signature blend of alternative rock, hip-hop, and electronic textures, driven by the distinctive vocals of Damon Albarn and the laid-back delivery of 2-D. Musically, the track leans into a slower, more atmospheric groove compared to the high-energy hits often associated with the group. It highlights the collaborative spirit that defines the virtual band's discography, merging live instrumentation with studio production techniques. As part of their foundational work, Slow Country reflects the experimental nature of the project during its early years, contributing to the eclectic sound that established Gorillaz as a unique force in modern music.
