fun fact, the sword swallower's dad is actually one of my college professors! he's super sweet and really proud of his son, he made sure to tell everyone about this video at the beginning of the semester lmao
All the great bands have songs that sound so different from each other. This is another gem by Cage the Elephant and it sounds like it’s straight out of the 60’s.
@@aidenwhitehead7018 I'm not sure a symbol on a jacket that a Blue Oyster Cult guitarist used has any more significance/importance than if he'd been wearing a pair of Nike trainers 10m other people have worn. Maybe the guy is just acknowledging & respecting the 4mins that always was/will be Blue Oyster Cult's entire history & ONLY contribution - perhaps falsely making people believe they were a great band. Maybe they hit some chords & it happened they'd hit lottery jackpot with' 'Don't fear the reaper'. Not masterpiece musicians' using artistic ability on scale of greatness as vermayer or Auguste Renoir produced. Think Cage the Elephant have long since surpassed Blue Oyster Cult whom won't really be remembered as talented musicians due to lack of evidence!
how do you see this video in particular? I am never good at understanding abstract videos, but from what i picked up it felt a bit like the process of becoming depressed. In which he feels he is slowly losing himself while strange things happen to him, until in the end he dies on the inside and he has to wear a mask so society doesn't see him differently?
nick willemsen I see it like the people are trying their hardest to indoctrinate the man in the beginning. He feels like he's different and tries different things to be the same, but he has to change himself. He's no longer the same person when they indoctrinate him. He's part of the cult, who all wear the masks and do the same things.
nick willemsen eehh, i dont really think its about becoming depressed honestly, its seems more like he tries fitting in with society but then tries to run away, but he eventually gives in to the desire to not be an outcast so he gives up and lets them take out an organ (his heart i believe) which turns him into another mindless slave of society
@@cristejeda2611 As someone who felt nothing and took a long time recovering to feel again, I'm glad I had the time without so I can appreciate it now. I hope you're doing alright.
@@donynya i reckon being depressed for some is feeling a void, a nothing, together with a sense that nothing matters, depressed people are very, very apathetic.
True story, don't care if anyone doesn't believe me, not the point. My cousin shared this song with me the day she died. I hadn't listened to this song in years. I'm crushed over her passing, but this song will hold a special place now for me forever. RIP Brandy.
@@Cheddarcheese52 yes. Honestly, I think her surroundings changed and she didn't understand why. What I didn't say is that when this happened, she was already gone, but I didn't know it. There was no reason this song should have come up in my mix, but it did. In my world at that moment, she was still alive. Her and I were very close and shared music all the time. "Remember this song?" "Thought you would like this new song." This was her last share. And I will never believe otherwise.
I love this song and think the video is very symbolic. The coldness in his chest represents depression (the first few lines also reflect this). Society views negative emotions as a problem to be treated, and so they force him to be "fixed" by the doctor. They try a variety of methods, including physiological analysis, women and the pursuit of love, and drugs, which are all real-world treatments. In the end, they behead him and pull out his blackened heart, symbolizing, in my opinion, the forcible end of his depressed appearance. They cover him up with a mask, and he becomes another faceless part of the society that has been watching him. This is only a facade though. The last few lines repeat that he is still cold inside, he doesn't feel right. The change is superficial; he is the same, but has now been forced to hide his emotions behind a literal mask. Additionally, the world is void of color until the women first appear. And the line "My life before me like a flash in the night" (3:53) appears just before the beheading. Your life supposedly flashes before your eyes as you die. So being "cured" actually is the end of life. They kill him, take out what they don't want, and then put back together the empty pieces. Also, note how none of the masked people act as individuals.They are a singular entity with no acceptance for what is deemed undesirable behavior.
I am still so surprised how many people HAVEN'T heard of Cage The Elephant Their music is amazing! Its such a masterful fusion of so many wonderful musical styles!
I almost gave up on finding another cage the elephant fan at my school until I asked my friend what song he was listening too in the hallway and he said “Its a song called come a little closer you probably don’t know it”
I don't understand why this song didn't get a lot of radio play. I know of the band, but have never heard this one before. This is great. It captures the feel of 60's songs spot on.
It did receive substantial airplay on Alternative Rock radio station 91X in San Diego. I dig CTE! The beginning musical portion of the song sounds like early Beatles.

This song would have made it in the repertoire of any mid 60s garage band. I'm probably not the age demographic these guys are aiming for but I feel like I've gone back in time when I hear this on the radio.
Good music has no age limit! I listen to a lot of new stuff that's more than likely targeted towards a younger demographic. I wouldn't hesitate to show up at a concert if I had the opportunity. When I saw the Rolling Stones in Atlanta on their Bridges to Babylon tour 1997, there were people of all ages from Toddlers to the elderly not to mention people with alternative lifestyles. I saw an old couple and the very short old man (who looked like the old woman from Poltergeist) was being lead by the woman with a leash. LOL! It was all quite a sight to behold.
This reminds me of the Animals and such band, even though I don't. Know their names I recognized the sounds. Cool thing about liking alternative rock is that you get to be exposed to many different genres and times.
It's because they are more alternative. They are great but for my household growing up there was a lot of country, and Nickelback. It's not surprising it's gonna be passed down to the next generation with them instead being recognized.
4:13 I’ve watched this many times and this is the first time I noticed the Blue Öyster Cult logo on the sleeve of the jacket of the lead guitar player.
Okay so i often have a hard time interpretating song videos, so i would like to hear some of your view. The way i see it, it describes the process of becoming depressed, in which at the end the heart seems to be gone and he has to live life with a mask to make it seem like nothing is wrong while he is literally dead on the inside?
nick willemsen it seems like the vision of mainstream puts masks on our faces , so every one is "just another brick in the wall" . Man who's not accepted by sociality try to get answer why it's like it is. And then from thousands sounds he hears that he must put the mask and be like others which leads to moment when u loose your heart your "unige soul". I take it this way :)
It's basically a re-education camp they've taken him to. The nazi-like uniforms seem to substantiate that. The masks they're wearing are supposed to hide their real identity and individuality, making them a homogenous mass. The first thing they do when they take him is they cut his hair short. Long hair is usually seen as an indicator of individuality, because it's not accepted in lots of places like banking or the military where people are supposed to conform. Soldiers had to cut their hair short because they needed to wear gas masks that seal tight. Hair would be an issue there. The next thing is they do some sort of rituals on him, which reminds me of Christians trying to pray the gay away. The doctor that treats him is also an indication of that: He takes a bit of his hair and analyses it, then gives him some sort of vaccine while the nurses give him a drug. They also put a thing on his head, which makes him freak out (maybe indoctrination?). The muscular guy is maybe supposed to say that you need to be strong and put up with this sort of treatment. Same with the guy who shows himself swallowing the sword. It's like saying "I can take it! Why can't you?" When these people realize that nothing of this works though, they rip his heart, the thing that seperates him from the others, out after cutting off his head and it's black because living in this kind of environment makes his heart "cold as ice" and black, as mentioned in the song too. It's depression. And then they destroy him just to make him one of them, putting a mask on his face. It's supposed to criticize how society doesn't know how to treat people that are different or that it doesn't like people who are different. In the USA I see this being the case with the constant identity politics and political polarization. People often instantly dehumanize something they don't agree with or what they don't understand (like the guys who is extremely disappointed when he looks at the protagonist's chest and immediately sees evil inside). If you don't fit, if you don't wear the mask, you are cast out. That's what I think. Think I'm gonna post this as a regular comment too :)
Personally, I felt like the main character was supposed to have been depressed, and was being brought to this weird, 50's era type sanitarium. All the weird things being done to him are supposed to represent how it can feel like doctors just try everything even when none of it works. By the end, the doctors are frustrated and do something drastic: cut off his head. This could represent upping the dosage of anti-depressants instead of looking for a particular one that works for the patient, or more literally could represent the practice of lobotomies which in turn represents the struggle and mistreatment of mentally ill people when being treated.
I’m 36 and absolutely LOVE the retro feel of this song! I feel this way with a lot of songs that are retro. They feel nostalgic for me and I don’t know why. I can feel the lyrics on this one. I saw them as an opener once and their performance was better than the actual group I came to see.
I was born in 1960, and when I first heard it, I thought it was some band from the sixties and I wondered how I'd never heard it before. It is a great song! Cage the Elephant is a great band.
Matt looked EXACTLY like Mick Jagger when he performed in San Diego this June. I think he's harnessing his energy. Everything from his outfit to his dance moves were JUST like Jagger.
Schultz is a lyrical genius. The things that this band does with music continues to amaze me. They are definitely one if my greatest musical influences.
Thales Wüst dude this band has been mainstream sense the early 2000s. It’s not really indie. Alternative sure, indie no. If you do want some good suggestions for some more out there indie music I’d be happy to share some.
It's something that they try to start and then took it to South Dakota for biker rally I was selling Korean food in the alley lots of us . people were with them
As an old fan this sounds like it could be the Animals, I attended their show this summer and they certainly did not disappoint. A truly great act, catch them if you get a chance.
I gotta say that this band is the best band in a long time. Their is actually a story behind every lyric. It's been so long that I can say that I am excited to watch the video. True to their art the rythem lyrics & melody aren't complete without the video. And almost every video blows me away. Good Job fellas. Keep doing you. And thanks for a great sound track.
All of their videos. They're deep in the club, either that or they're unassuming puppets. Something tells me they're very aware. Man, amazing music but can't get past this
blown away. these guys sound nothing like stones animals or doors. people should listen to 60s garage and discover how awesome it is. don't know anything about this band but heard it on the radio and they brought back the sound of the seeds, chocolate watchband, standells and many other garage bands.
Absolutely agree! Both of your comments are right on the money. I think these guys knew exactly what they were doing, too. The whole video is 60's garage from the '64 Ford Falcon to the high water bell bottoms the lead singer is wearing to the black and white presentation. Yeah...I'll bet if you asked them they would say this was a tribute to their musical influences or else they just like the garage band sound. It sticks out as quite different from the rest of their music. (BTW...just checked out your channel and subscribed. The music you are posting is awesome!)
Yeah, I'm not a music expert, but I dig these guys and they did remind me of The Animals before I saw the video. Is it because I know nothing about actual musical arrangement? Yeah Probably.
Once, when I was in an army hospital because of an illness, I listened to cage the elephant songs. And this music, melody, text and words, all this cured me on equal terms with medicines! And I want to say thank you for your music! She helped me a lot then! helped me break out of the army depression! helped to recover! thanks! sorry for my English! I'm from Russia!

Doctor. you can make up the rest , but the fact is am really not at all well. and if I were to take a fall just out side of your office here , then you may feel just how cold I really am, so much for your advice, I now great lyrics , and just were is that sweet nurse.
So I had this freaky situation where my HomePod would just start playing this around three in the morning. Especially Weird because I didn’t own the song. Creepy, but I figured, if I’m being haunted at least to the ghost has excellent taste in music I danced around for a while before unplugging it.

Lyrics
Doctor look into my eyes
I've been breathing air but there's no sign of life
Doctor the problem's in my chest
My heart feels cold as ice but it's anybody's guess
Doctor can you help me cause I don't feel right
Better make it fast before I change my mind
Doctor can you help me cause I don't feel right
Better make it fast before I change my mind
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Darker in the day than the dead of night
Cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Doctor can you help me cause something don't feel right
Something don't feel right
Sweet nurse don't look at me that way
I've seen those eyes before I can tell you want to play
Counselor give me some advice
Tell me how hard will I fall if I live a double life
Doctor can you help me cause I don't feel right
Better make it fast before I change my mind
Doctor can you help me cause I don't feel right
Better make it fast because there ain't much time
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Darker in the day than the dead of night
Cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Doctor can you help me cause something don't feel right
Something don't feel right, something just ain't right
And as the darkness falls it fills up both my eyes
My life before me like a flash in the night
With my arms open wide
Well it's cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Cold, cold, cold, cold inside
Doctor can you help me cause something don't feel right
Something don't feel right, something just ain't righ

^this guys opinion overpowers everyone else"s because he has superior taste in absolutely everything, there is no way you can stump this man.
Should see them live... amazing!
4:13 I’ve watched this many times and this is the first time I noticed the Blue Öyster Cult logo on the sleeve of the jacket of the lead guitar player.
Okay so i often have a hard time interpretating song videos, so i would like to hear some of your view. The way i see it, it describes the process of becoming depressed, in which at the end the heart seems to be gone and he has to live life with a mask to make it seem like nothing is wrong while he is literally dead on the inside?
nick willemsen it seems like the vision of mainstream puts masks on our faces , so every one is "just another brick in the wall" . Man who's not accepted by sociality try to get answer why it's like it is. And then from thousands sounds he hears that he must put the mask and be like others which leads to moment when u loose your heart your "unige soul". I take it this way :)
nick willemsen it's a video about cage the elephant selling out
It's basically a re-education camp they've taken him to. The nazi-like uniforms seem to substantiate that. The masks they're wearing are supposed to hide their real identity and individuality, making them a homogenous mass. The first thing they do when they take him is they cut his hair short. Long hair is usually seen as an indicator of individuality, because it's not accepted in lots of places like banking or the military where people are supposed to conform. Soldiers had to cut their hair short because they needed to wear gas masks that seal tight. Hair would be an issue there.
The next thing is they do some sort of rituals on him, which reminds me of Christians trying to pray the gay away. The doctor that treats him is also an indication of that: He takes a bit of his hair and analyses it, then gives him some sort of vaccine while the nurses give him a drug. They also put a thing on his head, which makes him freak out (maybe indoctrination?).
The muscular guy is maybe supposed to say that you need to be strong and put up with this sort of treatment. Same with the guy who shows himself swallowing the sword. It's like saying "I can take it! Why can't you?"
When these people realize that nothing of this works though, they rip his heart, the thing that seperates him from the others, out after cutting off his head and it's black because living in this kind of environment makes his heart "cold as ice" and black, as mentioned in the song too. It's depression.
And then they destroy him just to make him one of them, putting a mask on his face.
It's supposed to criticize how society doesn't know how to treat people that are different or that it doesn't like people who are different. In the USA I see this being the case with the constant identity politics and political polarization. People often instantly dehumanize something they don't agree with or what they don't understand (like the guys who is extremely disappointed when he looks at the protagonist's chest and immediately sees evil inside). If you don't fit, if you don't wear the mask, you are cast out. That's what I think. Think I'm gonna post this as a regular comment too :)
Marcel Arts look up MK ultra and you'll understand this video
Personally, I felt like the main character was supposed to have been depressed, and was being brought to this weird, 50's era type sanitarium. All the weird things being done to him are supposed to represent how it can feel like doctors just try everything even when none of it works. By the end, the doctors are frustrated and do something drastic: cut off his head. This could represent upping the dosage of anti-depressants instead of looking for a particular one that works for the patient, or more literally could represent the practice of lobotomies which in turn represents the struggle and mistreatment of mentally ill people when being treated.
I think this would fit perfectly in The Umbrella Academy!
It definitely would
I personally wouldn’t wanna see that
Lol
Only maybe in a montages of when Diego was locked away...
OMG YEESSS
congratss for the grammy guys!!! you really deserve it
Yes
I’m 36 and absolutely LOVE the retro feel of this song! I feel this way with a lot of songs that are retro. They feel nostalgic for me and I don’t know why. I can feel the lyrics on this one. I saw them as an opener once and their performance was better than the actual group I came to see.
Hi I recommend a song and accompanying video called 'Where I Come From' By Robert Nix
I'd suggest "Take It Or Leave It" by Cage the Elephant for the retro vibe, and not because I'm a bot like Mr Skies here.
Who were they opening for?
My Dad heard this and says it sounds like a 60's garage band song...He loves it...But then he is old enough to remember 60's garage bands...
I was born in 1960, and when I first heard it, I thought it was some band from the sixties and I wondered how I'd never heard it before. It is a great song! Cage the Elephant is a great band.
They sounds like Rolling Stones
Sounds like The Kinks, I love it.
I got Rolling Stones, the animals, and a Donovan vibe
This has a Rolling Stones sound to it
YoursTruly Ikr 🙊
has a little doors touch as well
Matt looked EXACTLY like Mick Jagger when he performed in San Diego this June. I think he's harnessing his energy. Everything from his outfit to his dance moves were JUST like Jagger.
Finally someone who sees that! The whole album has some Rolling Stones spirit
Checkout the Love Me Nots.
To me, this song has a very 60's garage rock vibe...early British invasion ala Kinks, Animals, or Troggs. I love it!
Look up The Association's song "Windy"
I love how they pretty spot-on hit the late 50's early 60's rock/surf-rock tone from lyrics on through the instrumentation
@Peach Pit I dig it. It's a bit like if Ultimate Spinach had gone for a slower/ambient sound
Schultz is a lyrical genius. The things that this band does with music continues to amaze me. They are definitely one if my greatest musical influences.
This has a cool early 60s vibe to it. My dad said it reminds him so much of the Animals, the Standells, or some garage band.
BassPlayerSusan as well as the seeds and chocolate watchband. your dad got good taste.
johnnysnotty. definitely the Seeds "Pushing Too Hard.
I thought you put "some garbage band" lol
ruclips.net/video/InRDF_0lfHk/видео.html
+SB727 me too
I feel like having my indie license revoked for not knowing this song/band until now
Thales Wüst dude this band has been mainstream sense the early 2000s. It’s not really indie. Alternative sure, indie no. If you do want some good suggestions for some more out there indie music I’d be happy to share some.
I just call it a good song lol
weaponry and such please go on and share some?
@@somerollerskater3656 please share
It's something that they try to start and then took it to South Dakota for biker rally I was selling Korean food in the alley lots of us . people were with them
This will always be my favorite cage the elephant song, hands down
I'm a metalhead but I love this band.
Same here
As an old fan this sounds like it could be the Animals, I attended their show this summer and they certainly did not disappoint. A truly great act, catch them if you get a chance.
just started listening to Cage the Elephant and i didn’t realize how many of their songs i’ve heard before
CtE cadence is always on point, every single time...
I gotta say that this band is the best band in a long time. Their is actually a story behind every lyric. It's been so long that I can say that I am excited to watch the video. True to their art the rythem lyrics & melody aren't complete without the video. And almost every video blows me away. Good Job fellas. Keep doing you. And thanks for a great sound track.
anyone else appreciate that one of the guitarists had a blue oyster cult on his jacket?
Adin Rollins Glad I wasn't the only one that caught that!
I been looking in the coments if anyone realized that the begining of this song is kind of similar to The reaper.
Matt did a good job with this.
so much symbolism in this one
Illuminati?
All of their videos. They're deep in the club, either that or they're unassuming puppets. Something tells me they're very aware. Man, amazing music but can't get past this
So this is how Zuckerburg was born.

total vibectomy

chill out they are just making a more detailed vibe checking

blown away. these guys sound nothing like stones animals or doors. people should listen to 60s garage and discover how awesome it is. don't know anything about this band but heard it on the radio and they brought back the sound of the seeds, chocolate watchband, standells and many other garage bands.
Absolutely agree! Both of your comments are right on the money. I think these guys knew exactly what they were doing, too. The whole video is 60's garage from the '64 Ford Falcon to the high water bell bottoms the lead singer is wearing to the black and white presentation. Yeah...I'll bet if you asked them they would say this was a tribute to their musical influences or else they just like the garage band sound. It sticks out as quite different from the rest of their music. (BTW...just checked out your channel and subscribed. The music you are posting is awesome!)
hear The Electric Prunes emotion cryin
johnnysnotty I read garbage
Wow just wow people sometimes
Yeah, I'm not a music expert, but I dig these guys and they did remind me of The Animals before I saw the video. Is it because I know nothing about actual musical arrangement? Yeah Probably.
I love the singers energy. I wish I had that much energy on a daily basis.
I think the message of the song is about the pain and confusion of dissociation and then just going with it at the end bc there’s nothing you can do
Once, when I was in an army hospital because of an illness, I listened to cage the elephant songs. And this music, melody, text and words, all this cured me on equal terms with medicines! And I want to say thank you for your music! She helped me a lot then! helped me break out of the army depression! helped to recover! thanks! sorry for my English! I'm from Russia!
so back to comitting war crimes now?
Doctor look into my eyes
I've been breathing air but there's no sign of life

Oh why, hello there
GAARA Of The Sand
Indeed
I'm currently obsessed with this song
i never click so fast in my life

André Keller me 3
also hehe
it said it had no views
When saw this on suggested videos I was like how I have not seen this before! Only to realize it came out TODAY. What a treat at work.
I love the revivalist feel of today's music. This could be pulled straight from an Eric Burdon and the Animals album. Fantastic stuff.
Why does this band always makes me remember someone that I just want to forget??
Excellent early 70s re-creation for an original song. I feel/hear some aspects so as to encompass multiple genres of the time as well. Grateful to the RUclips algorithm.
how have I only just heard of them ?!?!?! they're so underrated !!!
I found out about this band because they beat Panic! at the Grammy's. I was gonna come here to be salty but shit they're actually really good.
Journee Dawn should check out other songs
They're infinitely better than that shit pop band.
What is this 2010? how has nobody heard of these guys
MrCalamiteh I heard this band when I was fucking 4 which was in 2010 so you know how old I am now.

+giraffe whaaatt!? i think this is one of their best songs
James Matharu blasphemy
I tried to pick it up, but it was too heavy. Probably because of the elephant they caged
giraffe first two? Perfect confusion and Cage The Elephant or CTE and Thank You Happy Birthday? And there's reason for name shit the 3rd album, it's called Melophobia. This album is good, but it isn't the same CTE, they changed direction
The parallel to another brick in the wall part 3 is insane, love this
This has always been my favorite song I know every one of the words, just amazing!
Doctor. you can make up the rest , but the fact is am really not at all well. and if I were to take a fall just out side of your office here , then you may feel just how cold I really am, so much for your advice, I now great lyrics , and just were is that sweet nurse.
