    Cage the Elephant, to me, is a rare band which has never released any bad music. Sure, I prefer some songs over others, but I've never disliked any of their songs, all of them are great.
    It's why they're my favorite band.

    I feel that Cage the Elephant goes underappreciated.

    • @carternoyes5499
      @carternoyes5499 5 лет назад +48

      I'm just saying that number could be higher. I respect this band and want to see them grow since I prefer their music over modern pop, and I'm not saying you don't feel the same way. I hold Cage the Elephant and Twenty-One Pilots (just an example) in equal esteem, so I'd hope the former can reach the popularity of the latter. Granted I could be wrong, as I'm only looking at youtube's numbers. On that note, which band do you think someone would recognize if you asked them on the street. That's what I mean when I say their underrated. Not everyone knows about them, and I feel people should. Do you disagree?

      What you're suggesting is more of a personal choice, which is up to the band to make. If they want to grow or stay as they are. I support Cage the Elephant in either choice they make, and hope you choose to do the same. I just want one of my favorite bands to get the appreciation they deserve. This is of course subjective and my opinion.

    • @carternoyes5499
      @carternoyes5499 5 лет назад +2

      This has nothing to do with what I said, which was (in short): they may do as they wish with their band, I'll continue to support them. Also, on your topic of them being just about the music, have you even seen the video that this comment section is a part of? A lot of hardwork went into creating the visuals, not just the music. Cage the Elephant may, as you claim, focus on their music on stage, but these videos are batshit crazy, which I love. I believe what you meant was they don't pander to general audiences. I haven't heard of any of the sex on stage shenanigans you mentioned, but I will believe some occasions have happened considering new bands starting out. Your points about them not doing crazy things to draw viewers contradicts with your other argument(again my summarization of what I thought you meant) about how they don't pander to general audiences. One wouldn't be able not attract general audiences and not do crazy things that would attract general audiences. I hope you understand what I'm saying and come to agreement. We both like this band, why should we fight over what they are or aren't because frankly it's not our choice. I bid you farewell, unless you wish to combat me with another argument.

    The video mainly focuses on the sadness hidden within; as well as the secrets that will someday be spoken, as the same song says so.
    Matt, slowly trying to say that he will let go; ready to let his anger out, ready to let go down the path of redemption and sorrow and learn to live with his scars as a sign of power and will to be happy yet again, as well as a sign of survivalism from all the emotional terror and fright that every man eventually comes down to.
    This man is a genius; to show someone like you or me that he has the power to live on and become stronger than his past, much like you and I need to do.
    Growing stronger than our past.
    Forever loving Matt and the rest of the Elephant gang. ❤

    [Verse 1]
    Sun went down, sun went down, over Pompeii
    On both sides the vow was broken
    Oh my my, I'm the one
    Tryin' to hide this damage done
    One day, all our secrets will be spoken
    [Pre-Chorus]
    As we slow danced, I became your statue, frozen
    Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? yeah
    Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
    Like we were never close
    [Chorus]
    Don't you worry baby
    No sense tryin' to change it
    I'ma strike these matches
    Never had control
    I'm ready to let go, no
    Was I fooling myself
    I'ma spread these ashes
    Never had control
    I'm ready, I'm ready,
    I'm ready to let go
    [Verse 2]
    Sun went down, sun went down, over Pompeii
    On holy ground our vows were broken
    We made up, we broke bread
    I was blue, your dress was red
    Ain't it strange
    We both knew this day was coming
    [Pre-Chorus]
    As we slow danced, I became your statue frozen
    Times I wonder, are we just a puff of smoke? yeah
    Underneath this bed of ashes, still withholding everything
    Like we were never close

    Isn't it haunting a bit ? Basically, if this song is about Matt's divorce - compare it with "Cigarette daydreams". The CD is a bit upbeat, full of compassion, love and hope, this one is just "come on, we both know it ain't working, let's end it". Like a whole relationship bordered with these two songs. The beginning and the end. The alpha and omega. A full cycle. Love it ! Good job, CtE !

      RIGHT?! That’s what I’m excited about in their new album. “ Thank you Happy Birthday” was my favorite growing up, so I’m glad they sprinkled their old sound in their newer work. ALSO, so stoked for their new song with Beck! 😍

      [Verse 1]
      Somewhere down, somewhere down over Pompeii
      On both sides the vow was broken
      Oh my my, I'm the one
      Trying to hide this damage done
      One day
      All our secrets will be spoken
      [Pre-Chorus]
      As we slow danced, I became your statue frozen
      Times I wonder, Are we just a puff for smoke yeah
      Underneath this bed of ashes, still were told
      Everything like we were never close
      [Chorus]
      Don't you worry baby
      No sense trying to change it
      Imma strike these matches
      Never had control
      I'm ready to let go, no
      Was I feeling myself
      Imma spread these ashes
      Never had control
      I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready to let go
      [Verse 2]
      Somewhere, somewhere down over Pompeii
      On Holy ground, our vows were broken
      We made up, we broke bread
      I was blue, your dress was red
      Ain't it strange
      We both knew this day was coming
      [Pre-Chorus]
      As we slow danced, I became your statue frozen
      Times I wonder, Are we just a puff for smoke yeah
      Underneath this bed of ashes, still were told

      Don't you worry baby
      No sense trying to change it

      I'm ready to let go, no
      Was I feeling myself

It represents a lot of the things I'm emotionally struggling with Venezuela, my country... so much beauty in the people and the places, but also so much destruction, pain, grieving and violence. It hit hard on me... I've never put much attention on this band, but I'm just so shocked that I'm sure that anything I get to listen from them will be of my favorite from now on.
