Gorillaz - California & The Slipping Of The Sun Lyrics






[Train station announcement:]
If you have any checked bags they will be brought to the front of the station
To get to the front, walk down to the south end of the platform and cross at the crosswalk.
That'll put you right in front of the depot.
Look for a sign that says 'Baggage Claim.'
You should have your bag check handy to show the clerk.
Give them a few minutes to get your bags to the front.
If anyone is in need of a ride to the front of the station
Red Cap service will be provided on the platform.
We do have one group that is going to go first.
If you do need Red Cap service to arrive at the front
They will come back and pick you up on the platform and take you to the front of the station.
Taxi cabs are located on the center boulevard in front of the depot..

California
Oh, ocean, now I come again before you
Rode along with you
In the slipping of the sun

Sun on dreamers
Repeat the faithful once again
Like water off the mountains, and
It's the slipping of the sun

Money is pouring
Three days to go
This autumn begins to focus
North claims the imperial (?) totem
Fantastic
Trees, lakes
Mountains
Fantastic

    Why did I put off checking out this album so much? It’s a different kind of beautiful. Little words were sung or sung clearly and the sounds alone can tell a story. Gorillaz music is often very cryptic, at least a lot of the really underrated stuff, which is often free to interpretation. The lyrics can be muffled and the sounds unusual, but the listener can still pull emotion, depth and beauty from it. Funny how this music has the power to bring out the darkest emotions, the deepest thoughts, the setting in which would be the best place to listen to it. Truly extraordinary.

  10. I.... D....

    Ugh.. Damon’s vocals in this song are just.. perfect..

  11. S.... J....

    I love 2D's vocals in this.

  12. M.... N....

    Woke up at 4 am, so I started relistening to this album and some other gorillaz songs now it’s like 6 am

  13. J.... &....

    "(unintelligible to me.) Gonna get dropped at the station to the crosswalk. down to the South end of the bus barn. Across there to the crosswalk, gonna put you right in front of the depot. Look for a (conversation interrupts) give them a few minutes to get your bags to the front. Then you're gonna need a ride to the station (something) service that will be provided on the bus barn. (I don't know) will want to go first. If you break, the service will come by and pick you up on the platform and put you back on the station. (I have no idea what is said next by the intercom dude.)

    I know, I'm probably super incorrect on most of that.

  18. K.... ....

    I really hate how this song just ends after it goes into the beat. What a tease! What makes it so bad is that the song was amazing until that point.

  19. C.... T....

    Hola :v

  20. s.... c....

    I just came across this group and have been listening to all their music for the last 2-3 hours. Most of it is top notch, especially Demon Days, which I placed as my album of the year for 2005. But I have to call a spade a spade - this album sucks - I couldn't find one song I liked here. They did have an apt title for the album though; they fell so hard it took 7 seven years to mentally recover enuf to show their animated selves in person again.

    s.... c....

    I don’t think this album made them take a hiatus, it was mostly creative differences

    s.... c....

    Your opinion is wrong. The Fall is top notch

    s.... c....

    This album was made by Damon Albarn alone (besides guest vocals) on his ipad during autumn 2010 while Gorillaz was on tour. It's not meant to be seen as a complete album but as something on the side, the late night thoughts of a man on the road as the tour bus drives to the next town.

    Besides, Damon Albarn is a busy man, what with all the bands/projects he does. It's going to take time between each main Gorillaz album.

  21. s.... H....

    the end beat should be longer

  22. W.... ....

    So why was this album called the fall again

    W.... ....

    It was written during the American leg of the PB tour, which took place in the Autumn/Fall

    W.... ....

    This was basically the end of the band as Jamie and Damon hated each other at this point. Damon blamed the band’s problems on Jamie making his new music videos too elaborate and expensive (Stylo) and Jamie blamed Damon for making the tour too expensive (Orchestras aren’t cheap).

  23. S.... S....

    Probably one of the most overlooked Gorillaz tracks, on the most underrated Gorillaz album.

  24. t.... ....

    I've been watching gorillaz on YouTube for two days straight after finding them on my feed after having forgotten about them for almost two years now I'm sad

  25. R.... S....

    California
    Oh, ocean now, I come again before you

    Rode along with you
    In the slipping of the sun

    Sun on dreamers
    Repeat the faithful once again

    Like water on the mountains, that
    It's the slipping of the sun

    This part makes my really emotional for some reason...

  26. B.... B....

    Yes my state got a song

  27. D.... K....

    on the speaking parts I checked my tabs because I thought a video ad was playing in one of them

  28. L.... L....

    when it sayd Fantastic, my brain went to: Wow, Fantastic Baby!

  29. L.... B....

    something a little purge-y about this

  30. K.... R....

    This song, nay, this whole album is underrated

  31. N.... Y....

    I live in CA!

    N.... Y....

    Me too! I live in San Diego, so the lines about the water/ocean really hit close to home (pun intended).

  32. S.... S....

    I wanna use all this album to put and make some good atmosphere while i am writing, reading, laying or being busy and relax, this is great

  33. C.... M....

    2-D was starring at me the entire album

    C.... M....

    Colgate Mouthwash yeah same I thought he was gonna blink at me

  34. L.... d....

    The voice saying ''fantastic'' only reminds me of the video with the creepy mannequin girl robot thing saying ''you are fantastic''

    L.... d....

    It reminds me of the robot lady saying the line "I experienced something fantastic" in Studio Killers' Tokyo song

    L.... d....

    That was so cringey

    L.... d....

    Don’t you mean “I feel fantastic”?

  35. h.... c....

    2-D looks hot

    h.... c....

    when does he not tbh

    h.... c....

    WOOOOOOOOW MY GOD

    h.... c....

    h.... c....

    Ik I’m late but nah he looks depressed af

    h.... c....

    @I Don’t Even Know Anymore when does he not tbh

  36. P.... R....

    Really wish this song was longer

    P.... R....

    I wish the lyrics were longer they're so beautiful

    P.... R....

    i wish that any of the songs lasted at least 3:30

    P.... R....

    I agree if so it would've been a amazing finale

  37. C.... g....

    was this there new album or are they going to come up with one?

    C.... g....

    Mario Camacho This and plastic beach both came out in the same year (2010) and supposedly theyre working on a new album in 2017
