I was listening to this song all the time when I moved to uni. I got remembrances of me just riding my bike, discovering life and simply being happy.
6 years later, i still have trouble getting over it, acceptin that i become an adult.
Nostalgia hits so hard.
Thank you Shakey for helping me to have a beautiful youth
Love the old stuff. Love the new stuff. Cool to see growth in an artist with such talent and not afraid to mix things up.
I agree.
I feel like Shakey is one of those artists who makes art for the art and not for an audience and I respect that so hard. You can like some of his material more than others if you so choose but you can’t tell this man he’s wrong for the art he chose to create. Keep doing you, Shakey. That’s how artists stay real.
I will listen to whatever Shakey puts out. The man is ridiculously talented. New, old, simple or fully produced. Keep up the awesome work
Easily my favorite album of the year, and one on my favorite songs on the album. I love that you can see he isn't taking himself too seriously in the video and is having fun with it. The album has an amazing dreamy ethereal feel to it which he really plays into at live shows. Not being afraid to experiment, and still making great music shows how truly talented he is as an artist.
4 years later...still album of the year
Someone doesn't have to adhere to what is expected of them, experimenting is good! This new album is amazing if you let go of the your expectations for more traditional folky vibes (which I love too). I like new shakey, I like old shakey!
One of the most talented artists of all time growing a little thicker set there aging like fine wine God bless you mate
Still love my Shakey tattoo, his music is forever engraved in my heart.
I'm so upset I bought tickets to his show around this time last year and my boss said it's the concert or the job. Kept the job.lol and I couldn't even get my money back. Ahhh!☹
@@OOO_BARRACUDAAAwrong answer McFly
... damn - my son has to listen this - what an awesome take on the journey of those teenage years and that vulnerable invincibility
I don't get how people always feel compelled to say what's right or wrong about artistic choices. You can't tell an artist what to do.
You either appreciate it or go away.
By the way I dig it! Beautiful work! I'm definitely gonna buy the album!
6 years ago he said he'd be changing up and had a lot in store to offer. I love him no matter what because he's a raw, honest to goodness artist.
I love Shakey. Screw those people who try to put him in a box.
X2
all of the negative comments saying they hate the change in sound clearly haven't listened to the whole album or watched any interviews.... the artist is mixing things up a bit, and he has a right to artistic freedom. I think he has done a wonderful job at keeping spirits high in his music. Music shouldn't be about what others want, but the expression of the artists and having good times. Wonderful job! (i love all of the metaphors in the music video, great stuff)
Agreed
And the people making negative comments have the right to their opinion. Just because the artist is mixing things up a bit and has a right to artistic freedom does not mean a fan of the artist's older work has to like the newer work. Listeners have freedom of expression, too, even when what they wish to express is dislike.
It's silly for one to insist an artist has to stick to their old sound just to please specifically one's self, but it's equally silly for one to insist that others don't have a right to dislike an artist's new sound or wish for them to return to the old one without demanding the artist do so.
I get artistic freedom, but honestly I think this was just the choice of his producers and not his own. This sound couldn’t get any more basic unless if it was holding a pumpkin spice latte in one hand and uggs in the other.
They have the right to not like it. I don't really like this sound personally, too many things happening, too messy, too much production. I prefer "raw" Shakey
Louder for the people in the back
Lyrics: (by azlyrics)
I'm too young to die
Gonna live forever
I just wanna talk tough, look mean
Life is good at 17
One thing that I know is that
You don't know a thing
About me
You were the young, dumb, chosen one
Now you shake your head and say
Kids these days
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?
Wasted all the time
Nothing lasts forever
Maybe I should give up the good fight
Change my image overnight
One thing that I know is that
You don't know a thing
About me
I am the young, dumb, chosen one
Losing in the loveliest way
Kids these days
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?
Adolescent intuition
Murder on the rise
Make an easy million
Blow it in a night
Tell that I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm nice
I know you can see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
See it in my eyes
Everybody tries
Tries to be somebody
To be somebody's wet dream, prom king
Golden boy, new toy
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?
Life is a honeymoon phase
Kids these days
Kids these days
Kids these days
I don’t understand how this doesn’t have that much views
I love this song. I heard it for the first time at my job in PUMA, i love when this song plays while I’m working 🤙
Shakey is the coolest dude alive
Love Shakey anyway! The song has a message, most of you aren't getting it. Old stuff new stuff this soul has talent. ❤️
i just love loveee playing this cassette super loud and taking back roads, nothing else will give me chills as much as shakey’s music- new and old
I have to comment on this thread...This is genius. Alejandro is a story teller. This song and video makes you think. (I wont try and write a study guide here..). If you listen to the lyrics and think about the message in the video this guy is not taking himself too seriously and having a blast whilst not doing so! That said, he would be perfectly entitled to perform in this way, wear that wig and take himself seriously. How many untalented fake icons are there being adored right now for doing exactly that? I have seen the band live in Europe many times- they are so talented and genuine yet humble. So far the set has always included an acoustic part as well as the whole band. Listen to his albums, of course his acoustic set differs to them, he is an authentic performer, you wont find him reproducing carbon copies of album tracks. Do not miss a chance to see this man sing based on a knee jerk reaction to this video. Alejandro is being true to himself. This is the beginning.........
alison smith all so true!!
hello? .... 1, 2, 3
That’s what I love about Shakey, a lot of his songs seem to have depth and thought in their lyrics. So many of his songs have made me so introspective when I analyze the words, the only frustrating thing is that I can’t figure out whether he’s doing it intentionally or if I’m just overanalyzing his writing because in interviews I’ve heard him talk about his songs like “yeah the lyrics just came out that way”. Like, Dining Alone gave me an epiphany about how I should live my entire life but he was like “yeah I just thought of this guy who sounded like the character for this song so I wrote him in and that’s how it went”
Few do whimsy and melancholy as well as Shakey
Highland park vibes
Home town 🤍
I love both the old and new music. I love the message of this song, and it still has Shakey's fun, lively, authentic spirit that you see in interviews with him.
Ugh I love this so much
hes a beast on his own without a doubt. but shakey shines no matter what. his great songwriting shines when more musicians are involved.
Wish we could have Shakey back in the studio, but will take seeing him live tomorrow as a consolation!
I loved shakey graves for his portrayal of folk and blues. This, less then expected.
I'm proud of how far he's come! I first saw him live at a little dive bar (it was fairly empty) back in 2011 and paid $5 for my ticket. I've been to nearly 10 of his shows since then. It's been fun watching him evolve. But nothing will beat seeing him perform solo with his yellow kick drum at that little bar for the first time. I'd take that any day over his now huge, sold out, shows.
I must say, I don't love this. It's not that unique sound I love from him. It won't be on repeat for me. But, I sure am happy for Ale's success!
key word there.... "sold out"
TLDR: LOVE IT, MOAR NOW! Listening to SG for 5 years, it's turned into an adventure hearing him evolve. The entire album is great, love to hear more new and experimental songs and see more music videos as and even more artistically expressive!
As a musician, it is difficult to stay in the "bubble" of a certain era of writing. I look back on stuff I wrote 2 years ago and see how things have changed since that time. I don't blame Shakey for doing different material, I hate the feeling of being musically stagnant.
To see where his sound started, to this is absolutely awesome.
Has a Shins vibe to it. Great album!
It's got that Shins sort of timing with a vaguely Wilco sound mixed in
GULLLDANG... nothing better!
Shakey Graves ... almost 2 years of listening... has to be other people out there..making this most best band ever... step up ya'll.... im moving to Texas fuhk it ;) with band ..without band and one man owning it .. I do NOT CARE lol... #shakeyssouls for life 🐢
Such a good song
not sure why this song or album isn’t getting love? this is the first song i’ve heard of his and i love the sound, listened to the entire album recently and now i’m hooked
Holy moley. I love every music video that Shakey has put out. This man is a true talent.
Love the hair Shakey!! :)
this is the best song i have heard in a while honestly
Shakey tu é foda com e sem sua banda! Continue com o belo trabalho
bro that crescendo around 2:08 is orgasmic
Thank you for coming to Tucson! You guys put on an amazing show. Great music. Great audience interaction. Great props. Loved the red suits and the nostalgic, Western, vintage vibe. I'd love to see a video in that same style. Cheers,
-Jared
Shakey Graves is the best kept secret in songwriting of this generation. Chad Vangaalen is too
One of my favorite songs on the new album. Sure it's very much a different sound than classic Shakey Graves, but as an artist and a human being he's going to experiment and evolve.
I love his earlier style, but this concept album is very good in it's own right. Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 are particularly excellent imo. As for the video him and the band are just having fun, i can appreciate it as i grew up in the late 70's and 80's.
I love how Shakey does not take himself so seriously!!! You can tell the band has a great relationship. Love it!
Amazing. This whole album is great
I have non stopped playing this since the day it uploaded an I cannot get enough of it!! I love you as an artist not as a genre you make music I will love it whatever direction you want to go I will happily follow keep it up shakey
Met him at a whole in the wall thai food place in Seattle. Super nice dude. Loved his music for a few years now. Was so weird just running into him like that!
No esperaba esto....y sin embargo me encanta esta canción.
Me.encanta Shakey, siempre¡
Shakey, you are brilliant dude, for sure it it's, what a song!!!!!
He's always amazing
Boy precious ^_^
This song is freaking awesome.
Yesssss Shakey yesssss ♥️♥️♥️
Its always important to make a song that your fans might not like because then it weeds out the losers and lets you keep the real supporters
never thought i'd see soundcloud shakey graves
God! I love this man so much!!!!!
Shakey wants to change it up... that's fine. I guess I will just listen to Roll the Bones 50 more times.
I agree. not his normal best.
that H A I R L I N E
💀 chill
Yes yes YES
As an artist he is doing his job! MAKING PEOPLE THINK and react...........!
1:57 is my favorite part
love Shakey and he is much, much better than 80% of mainstream $hit)
I love this, he has a way more versatile sound now
MrayCure182 your obviously not a musician
You obviously can’t use proper grammar. Shakey actually has a band to work with now, comparatively with his old music the drums are more complex, and there’s actually a bass line. I really enjoy the fingerpicking one-man-band Shakey but he is way better when he works with people. It’s a full sound and I don’t get bored listening to the same two drum sounds
Great song!!!!
I love his style, the acoustic accompanied by only a foot pedal drum and tambourine, and obviously this is different, but this is the kinda sound that will get him on the radio :) as much as we all love his indie style, and us fucking hipsters don't want his sound to change and go all mainstream, we can all admit we love this guy and want him to succeed. We love you Shakey :)
My 2020 song. Thats it had a lot of tracks but this is just the perfect vibe
Shakey did awesome! Both Shakey and the video creator deserve a ton more credit. Was the video a little odd? Yes, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t pull you in. Does this new album sound like the Shakey Graves most of us have come to learn and love? No, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. If we haven’t noticed, Shakey loves to get experimental - have you heard “The Seal Hunter”? - this new album is just an extension of Shakey’s talent and wide array of music. Personally, I think that’s awesome. It’s better than doing the same thing over and over again. Though I do love the “original” Shakey, I love this album as well. It’s not pop, it’s not folk, but instead the product of a lot of time, effort, and what Shakey’s vision is. He is no sellout just because he wanted to show his fans an alternative side to his music. Really, when it comes down to it, good music is all about passion and love. I think you can hear both of these things in almost anything that Shakey puts out, you just have to look past the different approach to it (AKA the different sound). Thanks for reading, sorry it was a book, and have a good day
this sounds like the music industry is pushing him in a certain direction that matches everyone else they produce
James Dulce I respectfully disagree, Some of these songs have been out since the early Shakey days. I know this song has been, and the rhythm from “Slay Time Blond” was used in “Dining Alone” I don’t think Dual Tone is forcing Shakey to do anything. Sometimes artists just have visions that some of their listeners don’t like as much as they do. I haven’t heard a single song from this new album played on any major radio station that singles out indie or alternative creators. It’s good to believe in an artist, especially Shakey, he’s one of the few keeping good music alive. After all, he still brings that old suitcase kick drum with him everywhere he goes
The Art of: Music and Filmmaking
HELL YEAH. You should never judge an artist evolving. And I think this video was about the many sides of himself, trying to be somebody and pretending when in the end you're just your same old self....and maybe someone else in the comments already said that. But it's beautiful and awesome to see the selves that Shakey projects himself as and I loved this video.
Spokes Venti Totally man, I appreciate you going through the time to read those paragraphs I wrote, haha. An artist always needs some space even just to see how the audience reacts to the different sides of themselves and their music. It’s always awesome to see other people respond and share, even if I don’t quite agree with their intake. Have a good one!
Sh#t did shakey just go pop
love this song, love the album, love the video.
Lol, when you learn Shakey was in spy kids and your like... whaaaat
but also like I don't care I'm in love with him.....
Huh??lol
I love it-
I'm late. My new fav song rn!
Shakey's still Shakey man. This is great
i love him and this video
Man i love shakey but i gotta be honest when i say that he's so great when he's by himself. When its overly produced and he's in a band it drowns out all the nuances-quirkiness-subtle-finger picking skills he has. Bare bones shakey, with a suitcase drum kit and a guitar is when he shines brightest the most. When he involves a band his songs convert to just regular run of the mill music.
yeah but he cant just do the same thing over and over again. hes versatile. that takes more talent than making music that is essentially redundant eventually. BRING ME THE JAZZ METAL SHAKEY
no. Because many men as vastly different than roll the bones and that's different from bullys lament which is different than Christopher Columbus or Daisy chains . the point is these songs are awesome all in their own right and it's because it's in a style distinct to shakey. When he has a live band play these songs they get washed over and lose their power. Shakey is just a better musician on his own. Maybe a drummer. but bare bones shake in a ditch is the best.
Rogue storm Agree. And I think that was his point with his latest album and also this song if you listen to the music. It's a new sound and this song is about transforming-- I love his old stuff, but I'm also excited to see where he goes with his music
Tommy Balcom read above
Pr0x1mo not sure what you mean by "read above".. I like Shakey when it's just him and his guitar.. He's stylistically shifting away from that style is all I'm saying. Maybe you could elaborate more than using just two words? lol
i love it!
this video is brilliant
He didn't "well" once. What's happening to him
Late July is still my favorite after years of listening lol
Hair metal Shakey is the best parody I think ive ever seen xD
Honestly, I don't see Shakey moving into more team-attuned music and 'pop' vibes as a bad thing. The way I see it, he's expediting his talent to other people so he can get to digging at the hard stuff in his music. It gives him greater freedom and more energy to produce what he likes. I like this new style of music.
I like your positive vibes man. too many opinions in this comment sections about not liking this song due to his "old" style. Technically it's all his style, people need to just enjoy it for what it is. I thought this video/song was great too.
Cant wake up is one of the best albums I have ever listened to, i love his style right now. Cant wait for more music. Great music video too
That perm is hawt
This is everything. And just in time for summer :))
I love how weird Shakey gets. Those early Bandcamp albums would get so strange
It's not just pop rock, it's a deconstruction, it also gives my ears blue balls.
I dig it.
ol shakey got himself one of those funny vids. well deserved!
Went to high school with Ali aka shakey. He tried out for our pop punk band and we told him no he was too bluesy for us lol crazy he’s huge now. Good to see him doin it. Gary Clark Jr also went to school with us
Guess you should've let him in your band eh.
Love it or hate it, I think we can all agree that Shakey totally pulls off guyliner
Some music videos go to 10. This music vid goes to 11. 🔊
Wildman's Spinal Tap
Definitely not the Shaky Graves I fell in love with, but it's still a good song. This is what happens when record companies come into play.
Get an Mgmt/ empire of the sun vibe, love it!!
I enjoy Alejandr so much, especially being a Tx songwriter but holy geez, Gid awe full video, luckily or unfortunately which ever way, glad Townes or Blaze didn’t witness that garbage. I enjoy Shakey.
Lil bit of a milky chance vibe? Love it shakey

Awesome video! I can't wait to see Shakey in Pittsburgh this September!
Then, suddenly at 3:12, Jack Nicholson.
Lol
That herkie was hella impressive. How many times did it take you to catch that mic tho? Lulz
Which model of danelectro guitar is he playing in this?
This made me laugh, looked like a blast to film
this is truth
