Lyrics:
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (All alone)
All alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance

The bass line on this song is so damn smooth.
One the best bass lines ever
@@johnd4567 Totally agree ✌
Timestamp? I just wanna know what part you're talking about since idk anything about music lol
CoolFool 504 Just the overall bass playing in the song is great there’s no specific part that’s only good
Like it dropped straight out of Beavis's mouth
Legend has it that he's still racing and pacing and plotting the course.
Man, he's going the distance.
She's all alone
In her time of need
Adam B yup
That horse must be exhausted.
I LOVE the part when he sings…he’s going for speed…and it is slightly off beat. It sounds so cool.
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'New Yellow Moon' is a good song by him...
Jaja, same! for speeeeed. love it
It's not offbeat it's just a triplet. Its actually really hard to do and still keep in time. So in a way, it's the best use of the rhythm/beat. Rather than being offbeat
@@swickens930 Nice! I couldn’t tell but I asked my musician son and he confirmed you are correct 👍
@@mgpvii it's really cool when singers do it because they normally don't utilize that, glad I could help!
This song has the most legendary bassline in my opinion. When the chorus baseline hits, it just gives me chills.
"Hey man nice shot"
0:48
du-du du-du du-du du-du du-du-du
❤
It's a nice bassline but it's a far cry from the best I've ever heard
@@wanderingwobb6300 As an accomplished bass player, I would have to say that my favorites (but not necessarily most legendary) are Journey to the End of the East Bay by Rancid and Hysteria by Muse. Most famous one is prob Another One Bites the Dust.
@@patrickperot6296 Roundabout by Yes is definitely one of my favorites. Chris Squire is a legend.
This guy looks just like he sounds.

He reminds me of Edward Norton!
YES HE DOES!!!!
Exactly said
John McCrea.
"Bowel shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impale him with monster truck force" - one of the greatest lyrics of all time.
that's true. it is.
Every time I go to taco bell I think about that line
we talkin Monster Jam here
Dude Man Bro! Choking on the splinters
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Beck !
This song is so well written and preformed. Master class in musical theory! Gold star Cake.
It's not just great composition and performance (the rhythm section is especially good) but the arrangement provides a ridiculous amount of hooks. Who thought to that burst of mariachi trumpet in the chorus? In addition it's an awesome recording too as the mixing is absolutely perfect. I long thought it's one of the greatest records anyone has ever made. I'm glad to come here and see other people are as enthusiastic about it as I am.
@@BiggieTrismegistus nah literally agreed, this is something different just such a wide range of fuckin dope sounds.
I'm re-recording this song right now. The depth of this song really surprised me when I listened through a musician's ear. After singing this song for like 30 years in my car, I never realized for example, that the backing vocals "he's going for speed" are sung at a different time and pace than the lead vocal, you end up with this sort of delayed call/response. Really really cool. And what about the subtle guitar bends?? Never realized they even existed.
Cake = less is more
@@BiggieTrismegistus whats the high pitched sound that they used? it sounds like the instrument they used for west coast hip hop
Growing up its a song about racing. When you're grown up, its a song about endurance
it's neither. you failed. Here's a hint: The song is a tragedy of a failed relationship.
@@thomasneal9291 never knew that
@@thomasneal9291Is it? Because it literally reads like "my parents aren't home, come over." Every single sentence checks out for that. I would have never guessed it was about a breakup lol. If that's what they were going for, then Cake failed
I always thought it was about masturbation
@hoffmankspengineering2034 yes its a song about edging for 8 hours
I've always liked John McCrea's delivery. He's half singing, half spoken word, kind of like Lou Reed.
you put it into words!
Its alot like Fred Schneider
Oh that’s what it is! I guess that’s why like this and Rare Americans
is called sprechgesang, German for speaking and singing, Fred Schnider and Lou Reed as some people that also use this style, like some people previously pointed.
reminds me also of Jim Morrison a bit
Of all the songs with a melodica, deadpan vocals, and mariachi style trumpet flourishes, this has to be in the top five of all time.
Top 3 dude 😂
I LOVE the dead pan vocals!!!! Also this bass is just out of this world!! 🎉 This group and this song in particular just hit the spot !!
What are the other top 5 then
Couldn't have said it better myself
He's rapping, he originally wanted to be that
The whole album is a masterpiece 👏
Much as I dislike the wife I’m divorcing, I'll be forever grateful to her for introducing me to this great band!
You're gonna land on your feet bro. Or even better you'll land on a new girl 15 years younger than the old wife.
@@Eet_Mia oooo got em mia good job
@@guysmiley4830 "landing" someone 15 years your junior is creepy, and thats being generous considering most men already try to go for someone a few years younger.... ew 🤢🤮 absolute 🤡
@@lazy_bt You must be young. See if you feel the same post 50. 35 year old women are fully capable of choosing. It's not like I'm talking about marrying a child.
@@guysmiley4830 when it comes to the age that women find to be most attractive for men, it tends to be their own, meaning a 35 year old woman most likely prefers someone in their mid-30s too. meanwhile, men say that the most attractive age for women is early 20s. why do men find that women who are barely legal (maybe can't even drink alcohol yet) to be so attractive? do i need to spell it out for you?!
generally, a 30 year old person does not have the same views on life and general experiences that a 50 year old has. can't be with someone your own age? must be because they see through your 🐂💩 and immaturity. come back when you contribute half the housework your wife does for herself, your 2 kids, and _you._

That base line is criminally good. Sets the momentum for the whole song.
@@user-sn9jv2ey4d No doubt, the guitar you have there looks exactly like the one I had for a long time. Mine was a 2002 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster.
Really? I think it's the hat that's going the distance here 😆
I could not agree with you more!
Heh “criminally”
My mom was friends with these guys in High School at Sac Hight in the late 80s. I never really took time to listen to their music but this is probably some of the best stuff I’ve ever heard. I’m a weezer fan and I see such similarities in their music. Man how I’d love to meet these guys.
I've long said that "The Distance" is one of the greatest records anyone has ever made. The number of hooks in the song is absolutely insane (especially the guitar line that starts the chorus and the mariachi trumpet), the bass line is sick and the drumming is awesome.
the bassist teaches at kline, buddys my instructor so u could prolly catch him between lesson times hes a super chill guy
fellow weezer fan 🫡
A lot of younger people on here remembering Cake as kids…. I was mid/late 20s and fell desperately in love with this music. Good stuff all the way around.
Whenever someone questions the need for a good bass player, play this song for them.
They still need to hire me tho. I've gotten really good at making beats w/ my dial tones and what not by now.
Ahhw E-Any lol no
On repeat until it sinks in
Or anything by Primus

Cake was the first band I ever saw live in concert, and I still have the ticket stubs.
Saw them live for the first time a few months ago, it was fantastic
Oh hellyeah

If they have a show near you soon, try to walk in backwards with the stubs and pull them out if stopped.
You might get in for free.

This band epitomized the time when it was actuality truly cool to be un-ironically uncool.
Then when the 2000s came, it was cool to be cool
It’s called punk, and its not always fast riffs and Mohawks. Cake is like groove punk with a pinch of ska.
@@Primatenate88 groove punk with a hint of ska... That's a great description of my band in high school. We played 3 Vans Warped Tours. We called ourselves ska punk, somewhere between Operation Ivy and Bad Religion. Right in that early 2000s edgy sound. I was a drummer, and I could play NoFX beats with a single bass drum pedal by basically making my right foot have a mini spasm once a second. We also loved the Chili Peppers and Primus. It was a fun time for rock bands

CAKE is truly one of the most underrated bands of all time
The epitome of “less is more.”
Cake is a joke
No shit!!! This video never got near the credit it deserved
That's because it all sounds pretty mucu the same. It can be hard to keep listening to a Cake album.
@@greebel1 I love Cake, but this is definitely true.

It was fucking magical seeing the very core of Twisted Metal come to life on screen with this song playing. Every TM fan's dream growing up. Here's hoping we see way more in season 2!
If I fought and won a real Twisted Metal competition right now, I'd most likely wish for a second season of the show tbh.@@calbin6309
I was expecting a Rob Zombie drop at that moment, but hearing 'reluctantly crouched at the starting line' surprised me in the best way possible.
Cake is so underrated
That's because you didn't put enough yeast.
@@garryiglesias4074 Pun for the whole kitchen!
I was just saying the same thing!
So true. I listened to long time by them, then this one and I didn't know this was this band. They have a lot of good songs though
Yes !!!!
Profound.
"The Distance" is a song by American alternative rock band Cake. Released in August 1996, "The Distance" was the first single from the band's second album, Fashion Nugget, and is considered one of their most popular songs.[4] It was written by the band's guitarist at the time, Greg Brown.
"It is a song about success and failure, and failure of success, really," said McCrea in 2019. "It's a sad song, because there is no success. You can explode into the world with great magnificence, and still feel like the guy underneath the Mickey Mouse head, with the fan batteries that have stopped working properly, and it's dark under there, and everybody wants your autograph."[5]
IMHO it's dark because you still haven't found your purpose and still on the hamster wheel running as fast as you possibly can but getting no where.
Yeah my first interpretation of the lyrics was that of someone who kills himself trying to satisfy his own needs and desires while ignoring everyone else's
God bless
I listen to this before work because I know it is about a man who strives until he realizes that there is no end and then keeps going, to reach the sea and then keep going. I will seek a life that makes me and others happy instead of helping to hold us all prisoner to a life we should avoid at all costs.
@@droptherapy2085 *ding* winner. that is EXACTLY what the song is about.
That's profound and everything but every single verse just sounds like "My parents aren't home, come over." Like, literally every single word and phrase in the song checks out for that.
Always loved this one, completely forgot about it. Can’t believe it only sits at 14 million, but such a tempo. This was a huge song back in the day, the views don’t do it justice. Wish RUclips was around back then.
this is lyrical perfection, super underrated
What he said..
If you look closely, you’ll see there is no cake in this video.
the cake is lie
wait what.. noooooo
Cake's the name of the band.
2:05 I beg to differ
That's entirely debatable.
Ah yes, a song about a man who despite the odds, despite his romantic circumstances, and despite artificial goals constructed by others, continues indeed, to go the distance... Beautiful.
Very well said....I concur..
Absolutely perfect description of this allegorical masterpiece.
This guy is trapped by the belief that he needs to go the distance instead of being with the ones he loves. And he knows it, it fills him with self doubt and remorse.
I don't think that's what the song is about. I believe "going the distance" here is not a good thing. What it looks and sounds like, to me, is that "going the distance" is working so hard at a job that won't ever reward your efforts and neglecting your own physical/mental health and relationships in the process.
"She's all alone, all alone in her time of need" - he isn't there for her, because he's going the distance.
"Long ago somebody left with the cup" and "No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine" - again, he goes unrewarded for his intense efforts yet continues to go the distance.
"She's hoping in time that her memories will fade" - they are no longer together, either because he wasn't there, or just isn't alive, so she's hoping to forget him.
Then we see at the end of the video he's going into the ocean, I interpret that as his death. He's worked himself into his grave.
But, that's just one guy's opinion
Perfect words
Killer bass line man. Sweet tone. Love it. It's the kind of line I want to go learn right away.
Twisted Metal, Yo nailed it there.

When I describe Cake to people (not a common thing), I like to say..."Imagine if Frank Sinatra was raised on The Doors, then went through a metal phase before he discovered his true passion was 90s hip hop.

Well put
Lyrics
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
'Cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's going the distance
Ah no, so sad, alright
Oh no, oh no, no, no
Possibly one of the best 90s songs ever
Possible best song of this year
i wanna say it was 2017-2018 i was in the car with my first love and this song came on n he looked me dead in the eyes and recited this whole song. i immediately went home to memorize it so i could sing along with him the next time i heard it. i rarely hear it but when i do i remember how much i cherished that moment and watching him enjoy such a great song
That's awesome, I got a visual of his sudden intense version and then both of you jamming! lol how could anyone not? Thanks for sharing. PEACE
That sounds like a cool dude to me
So, you're going the distance...going for SPEED?
What a lucky guy
Well, stranger on the internet, after reading that sweet tale, I can say without contradiction I really do wish the very best of life’s offerings comes and spends a lot of time with you.
Also, not that I needed much reminding but, sure does make me think about how much I love and appreciate my wife as well.
"Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse assail him, impale him with monster truck force."

This deserves so much more likes
Lmao this is engrained in my brain now
He's got it home grown (home grown) and its better than speed
Yes! lmao perfect
I can never unhear this now
Rewatching this I realise they did absolutely everything perfect. The song has all the right elements and the right sounds at the right times and the video matches it too. The group in the elevator get a line but there’s one last shot of the them with the old guys arm raised with the ‘hey’. Small things but they had to a goosebump inducing whole.
The number of killer hooks in the song is absolutely insane. Even the way John McCrea says "speed" slightly behind the backing singers in the chorus is perfect.
I completely missed this when it came out.
I am a Gen X er but have Boomer tastes.
I was listening to Classic Rock radio whenever this came out and it went under my radar.
It is a great song.
Glad I found it eventually.
Shockingly catchy. Once the chorus hits you can instantly tell this came out of 90s california with the synths.
My favorite thing about this song is how good it is.
Totally underrated ‼️‼️‼️
Yeah. I love this song and I don’t know whyyyy😂
Classic. CAKE is still going the distance, and has outlived most other 90's bands.
Twisted Metal ❤
I love the rhyme flow in Cake's tunes. "Flags go up. Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup." and "One man, still driving and striving, as fast as he can." It's clever. It's catchy. It's playful and, as one commenter already pointed out: the delivery is halfway between song and poetry. Cake was/is one of those bands that can walk the fine line between serious craft and tongue in cheek irony without falling into the abyss of cheesiness. Not necessarily the easiest thing to find.
one of the most underated artist in american history of pop culture.

"No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine

This was my favorite band back in the day
Hello, my Twisted Metal friends.
Sup
Yeah boiii
Cake is a very unique band with a "sound" and in particular rythym and lead guitar and bass sound that is all their own. Has an incredible particular funk to it. Nothing else out there like them, that sounds even close. Even their cover of War Pigs by Black Sabbath, is very unique in style. I like the "rawness" of their sound when recorded for albums. A very tight sounding band.
I love that trumpet and how ominous, tense, and great it sounds
Childhood unlocked!
thx twisted metal for awesome song for my playlist😆
This bass line is fuxking IMMACULATE..
“Bowel shaking”
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
The fans get up and they get out of town
The arena is empty except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
He's haunted by something he cannot define
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
'Cause he's going the distance
He's going for speed
She's all alone (all alone)
All alone in her time of need
Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
He's going the distance
He's going for speed
He's going the distance
Ah no, so sad, alright
Oh no, oh no, no, no
what i dont get is:
is he driving a car? like it suggests at the start with engines pumping and thumping, green lights and flags, he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
or is he on a horse? He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse, tophies flowers flashbulbs and wine suggests a different scene to engines flags and greenlights which are certainly not in horse racing
Thank you for the lyrics. I think I get it now... It's about a man driven to "succeed". And a woman who is alone because her man is always off trying to succeed. Wow!!! Prety cool lyrics!!

Thank you for the lyrics!🙏🇫🇷
Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse

I seriously do not think I have ever heard more well written lyrics such as these. Ever.
This song is about not giving up, even when the race finishes hes still goin hard, metaphorically it is about a girl and not quitting and letting her go, the memories she wants to fade wont fade because he never quits, he never gives up even after the race/relationship is over and someone left with the cup/her, he still goes hard and wont give up on it/her.
This song summed up is about going after what u want and never giving up win or lose
Not only is this song good, but its unique. Ive never heard anyone sing like he does!
Actually he's like Ozzy in the way they are enunciating out of time. Very effective delivery!

Catchy sounds and some songs that have some deep lyrics if you ponder on them. I think if they were marketed differently they would have been way bigger.
Why do i like this song so much, its so cool. "Hes going for s p e ed 😆👍
When office buddies get together and form a band. lol
ikr lol.
HunterGatherer HA!
HunterGatherer funny
HunterGatherer actually no my dads in this band😂they met in college
Walter White yeah he is, he’s the trumpet player
I was 19 years old when this came out and the entire summer was spent in bikinis, cut off jeans and tanks. With coolers full of beer, 4-wheeling the back trails, hitting the lakes every weekend with friends, bonfires and cranking the pioneer to this song and many others. Best times!
Thanks for the Intel Mary
I was 19 too, isn’t it wonderful that songs can take you back in time to when life was awesome. Such a great time in my life, just driving around for something to do. Man I love music
Sounds like Kid Rock's All summer long would be the theme song😸
Yes- them days....
I hope heaven is that much fun🤞
I love this song. Great album too. My roommate played it a lot back in the day.
This was my first time watching the video.
Cake, Beastie Boys, Beck, Weezer and Primus lived in the 5 disc in my truck for years back in the day. Very high times.
Songs amazing, there's something simple yet brilliant about the composition.
I love how 90's the video is too, has that softness, colour palette :D
I mean, it makes sense. This was released in '96. It's just that this vid was uploaded in 2011.
Watch Polvo’s Tragic Carpet Ride
Wym, we're still in the 90s?
Who else was watching and listening to this on MTV in 1996!
Me 12 years old.
Right here bro.
Maybe VH1
Well I was 1... so probs not
😂
I've known of this song all these years, but i hate to say that I've never really willfully looked it up and listened to it from beginning to end until that season finale of Twisted Metal......... thats right... I'm listening to it whole in 2023
if you like this you might like my brother’s music. his name is Stu Morris and 'New Yellow Moon' is a good song by him...
Cooler than the other side of the pillow, even in 2023.
Great Musicians, Great Song, even a good video.....
I made the mistake of turning this up full blast with a Subwoofer in boot and surround sound in the car.... due to bass and lead guitar I have no windows and less teeth
There was no mistake it's an awesome song
Ella and Micha ❤
I snort laughed at this.
It was worth it though, wasn't it?
Ard Rua I salute you sir😂

cake just casually drops the most beautiful song ive ever heard in my life
I cannot understand how this is not one of the most popular records ever. Everything about it is perfect.
listen to Egg by the Garden
SACRAMENTO REPRESENT !
I love the synchonized whistling and the Spanish trumpet and the "hey!s. Very unique band.
Twisted metal babyyy!!!
actually you NAILED IT.. that is what he reminds me of.. because when I heard this song ...and this is not my generation: I am boomer classic rock.. I loved it; it reminded of some heavy metal songs.. but I LOVE CARS.. I am a classic car rock.. just such a unique piece of work.. I love it.
@@IsabellaHale the Twisted metal TV show played this in the last episode. It was perfect. THEY nailed it
Only the cool people are here.
Evelyn Alvarez my sister just said I'm not cool
o k a y

JanjayTrollface your right it was Peter McNeal. Change your pic please
Facts
I'm having some Cake this morning. I'm "racing and pacing, and plotting the course"... The Distance was released in 1996, winning a huge following for the band's quirky but funky style. As a bassist, I dig Cake's grooves. 😎
I High Key Love This Song I Play It For All My Gansta Homies They HAte It WHich Makes Me Play It More 😂😂😂
Woke up today with this song in my head today and I don't know why 🙃
As someone who lives in Georgia and enjoys various subgenres of rock, I was surprised to find out that Cake and 311 started with Capricorn Records. If you are unfamiliar, they are based in Macon,GA and became known for southern rock acts like The Allman Brothers and Marshall Tucker Band.
