Article: El Mañana (Song)

What to edit: The page has a few issues: "Some listed sources may not be reliable", and it "needs additional citing for verification".

Along with these^ the song is explained only briefly; mostly referring to the music video. There is no given context of the story development except for the link to the preceding song "Feel Good Inc". The page for "Feel Good Inc" has a lot of explanation for the storyboard behind the album that it belongs to, which is Gorillaz's "Demon Days", but the story is not continued into the song following it (El Mañana).

I personally know the story explanation behind the music video, but I want to only add the most reliable and straight-from-the-source content.

Research plan: Looking into direct interviews with Jamie Hewlett and Damon Albarn (the artist and musical talent behind Gorillaz) regarding the "Demon Days" story. A source I already have for this is a hardcover book I own about Jamie Hewlett's art career and his creation of the Gorillaz with Damon Albarn, plus the reasons behind why they started their work and what message they aim to get across with it.

Update: I have added to the "Talk" section for this page. The information discussed on it so far only covers small details that I find to be mostly irrelevant to the song- such as questioning whether the title is correct based on Spanish translation (which is not a mistake, it was simply given that title to mean "The Tomorrow" in Spanish).

Blurb about song I will be adding to the existing Wiki Page:

El Mañana is the continuation of the story of Feel Good Inc. as it is the following track on the album, Demon Days by musical group, Gorillaz. While it may be assumed purely by the order of the tracks on the album that they are each part of a chronological story in the, it is made clear through the music videos for each of these songs. Jamie Hewlett, the artist behind Gorillaz, and Damon Albarn, the lead singer of the group portrays the story of Demon Days with two key music videos, as they feature the central meaning of the album symbolically.

The music video for El Mañana is from Passion Pictures, and directed by Jamie Hewlett and Pete Candeland. The virtual band presents their Fictional universe through their music videos. El Mañana was intended to continue the story from the Feel Good Inc music video, which can be explained on the Wiki page for the song: Feel Good Inc. This video features a traveling, floating island in the sky with animated bandmate, Noodle (character) aboard it. The music video ends with the island being shot down by an enemy ship, as is better explained through two YouTube videos that gives context to the band's Fictional universe:

Although there are no direct interviews with the creators of Gorillaz, Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett directly explaining the album's narrative, since its release in 2005, this interpretation has been widely accepted as the truth behind the art.
