Gorillaz- 'The Mountain,' 'The Moon Cave' and 'The Sad God'

Holy crap how did I manage to miss this! Thank you for checking it out dude! My mom left us a couple years ago and my father is currently in the hospital, all that said thank you for sharing your feelings bud.

Go dad!!! So happy to hear he beat it. ❤️ Cancer sux. My dad wasn’t that lucky 😢

I watched this when it first came out and while I marveled at the animation, music and symbolism it didn't really hit me emotionally. But I've just recently experienced the loss of someone very close to me, and watching this again with you and with the context of everything it really got me in my feels. As a side note, I'm super interested in hearing more about your spiritual journey. In my life I've moved from Christian fundamentalism to atheism to agnosticism to now some hybrid or cognitive dissonance between scientific materialism and buddhist/hindu philosophies. I've dipped my toes into meditation and definitely experienced increased wellbeing from it but I haven't *really* dived deep into those waters yet. I know you've mentioned before that you used to struggle with addiction and as someone unfortunately battling that as well I'd also be interested to hear about your journey with that. Maybe you have talked about that already in a video I haven't watched, anyone know which ones I can check out for that? :)

for an animated band they do have a deep and interesting lore, and can get lost listening to their music

Demon Days is my favorite album- I have fond memories of walking out of the music store with the CD clutched in my teenage hands in 2005. They have a live concert for Demon Days that I own on DVD that I've watched too many times!

I think Gorillaz has potential to be your next obsession; they have an incredibly rich and diverse discography, very experimental and you never know what you will get, even going back to their earliest works.
