about
Gorillaz' self-titled album turned 20 this year, so F-ETHER and UaZit took it upon themselves to acquaint "Clint Eastwood" with the future. If the chart-topping hit from 2001 was a meandering, feel-good hit of the summer, this version would have been doused in a backyard sprinkler spouting LSD and thrown into a toolshed time machine where it would have collapsed into the black hole of its own existence, only to be reborn anew one particle at a time...
*See you later, space cowboys.*
Subtle changes in the over-arching melody drive the song forward into a new dimension while maniacal laughing in the background to keep you questioning your lucidity the entire time. F-ETHER and UaZit reinvented "Clint Eastwood" as the perfect theme song for you to traverse across the brink of insanity.
With so many elements from the original song reworked and digitized, these two encompassed what Gorillaz created while giving a nod to the cultural elements in contemporary music that have evolved within the last 20 years. It feels like the original, but with a shiny, new paint job that can easily endure the depths of space and take on any asteroids that head its way.
If experimental pop and 'trip-hop' weren't on your radar before this, well, that part comes gratuitously with your first ride on this spacecraft.
lyrics
"I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on, it's coming on
It's coming on, it's coming on"
"Finally someone let me out of my cage
Now time for me is nothin cuz I'm counting no age
Nahh I couldn't be there
now you shouldn't be scared
I'm good at repairs and I'm under each snare
Intangible
bet you didn't think
so I command you to
panoramic view
Look I'll make it all manageable
Pick and choose, sit and lose
All you different crews
Chicks and dudes, who you think is really kickin' tunes
Picture you getting down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional, mystical?
maybe
Spiritual hero who appears on you to clear your view
When you're too crazy
Lifeless to those a definition for what life is
Priceless to you because I put ya on the hype shift
ya like it?
Gun smokin'
righteous but one talkin' psychic
Among those possess you with one go"
"I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on"
"The essence, the basics
without it, you're naked
Allow me to make this child-like in nature
Rhythm you have it or you don't
That's a fallacy, I'm in 'em
Every sproutin' tree,
every child of peace
Every cloud and sea
you see with your eyes
see destruction and demise
Corruption in disguise
From this fuckin' enterprise
now I'm sucked into your lies
through F-ETHER not his muscles
But progression he provides
For me as a guide,
y'all can see me now
cuz you don't see with your eyes
You perceive with your mind
That's the inner
So imma stick around with F-ETHER and be a mentor
Bust a few rhymes so motherfuckers
Remember what the thought is
I brought all this so you can survive when law is lawless
Feelings,
sensations that you thought was dead
No squealing,
remember that it's all in your head
"I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
I ain't happy, I'm feeling glad
I got sunshine in a bag
I'm useless but not for long
The future is coming on
It's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on
My future
Is coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on
It's coming on, it's coming on,
My future
Is coming on, it's...
coming on, it's coming on
It's coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on,
My future
Is coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on
Is coming on, it's coming on, it's coming on
it's cumming on me
My future..."
