I've always liked this band I'm a 64 year old man. I just get tired when I hear people my age saying there's no good music out there and I keep telling them there is if you look for it. You're so much of it out there music is good you're never too old to love good music. And I just like to style the song it's really laid-back.
Jim, your a rare bread for your time. Most people your age denie the possibilities for new opportunities because their getting old so they denie everything new. So dont be like them, you can always find opportunities no matter the age. Love you jim. I hope your doing well.
A few months ago, my best friend died at the age of 19. The months before he died, we played this song as loud as we could. It was played at his funeral and now it is his anthem.
When this song makes you feel like you're about to break into your old high school with your best friend for nostalgia and flashback to 16 years old doing the same thing
Right? This band is so much better than i originally gave them credit for when ain't no rest for the wicked first came out. I'm glad i gave them a second chance, cause i love them now.
This is what drugs do to you. There music has always been amazing but you can tell Matt shultz became more tranquil, including more meanings of life and death in their music.
my daughter is going to sing this solo at her 8th grade chorus concert. She overcame bullying and self-harm during middle school. I'm so proud of her, and this song to me is her letting go of that period of her life as she leaves middle school into high school. I can't wait to watch her sing live to all her peers.
This is the type of song that gives you a deep feeling in your heart, almost like nostalgia or some type of regret maybe even happiness. You don’t know what or why but you feel it inside almost begging to be let out, I don’t know what feeling this song gives me but all I know is that it moves me in some way I can’t explain
João Victor This is mine and my boyfriend’s song. He sang it to me when I was 17 and I fell in love with it. I already told him it’s going to have to be in our wedding 😂
Brooooo😭 This was already one of my favourite tracks of theirs before I heard it in Spider-Man 2... Between this and their usage of Seabird, Insomniac had me bawling...
I think the song is about it being okay to cut out select parts of your past like the trauma, abuse, neglect, etc but you cant let those memories completely envelop you. You also need to remember the good times and keep those and cherish and love them
This band got its start doing the open mic night in high school at my parents restaurant. Lil sis was their original keyboardist. I think this song is about Hannah, who got sis in all kinds of trouble.
When you fall in love. This song means something. But if you lose them it means even more. He was a cigarette daydream, 17 and sweet but strongheaded, He was my world man. But than i had gathered up my things and slipped 963 miles away. He said he loved me so much and patience. Now i lay here in the dark, and my favourite song instead if making me smile, makes me bawl. He was so beautiful.
Yes I found after 30 the next 20 years flew by. When you’re a kid weeks seemed months and months felt like years. I’m 52 now and I I’m kind of shocked if that makes sense.
@@phoenixgirl70 Good morning 🌄. Wasn't expecting a reply to my comment, but I like the song and live in Cave creek AZ. If you live in Phoenix; you probably been right by my house
@@JohnCowart-hm2nz Oh sorry I’m not actually in the States! Phoenix is in reference to the mythical bird. I hope the heat has been letting up down there. Arizona is so beautiful but some parts sound like the surface of the sun! Feel so bad for the people with no air conditioning or just burning their feet stepping out to the mailbox. Been leaving little bowls of water for the bunnies, squirrels, etc.
@@phoenixgirl70 Each year becomes a smaller percentage of your life. 20% of your life at 5 is only 2% of your life at 50. So your perception is that it went faster when you look back. That's because your reference or basis for what time seems to be, is the sum of your experienced time. I don't think it seems to pass more quickly in the moment. Only retrospectively. The upside to this is that if there's something I'm not looking forward to, I'll look in the mirror and remind myself that I'll be back home before I know it. Sure enough, I'm soon looking at myself again. As if the memories of the day were planted there and I had never moved.
@@phoenixgirl70it’s because you work every day, I’ve not worked now for 3 years and let me tell you it doesn’t fly by and I get up to all kinds of stupid shit, working kilľs your lode
I feel like at 17 you're old enough to not be scared of being wild but you still have those hormones and teenage brain motivating you. Makes it a pretty exciting year. At least that was my experience with it. 17 was my most dramatic teenage year I think. I kinda miss it but also am so glad I'm more mature now (at 19)
17 is like the forgotten age, in a way. You’re just waiting to become an adult, and it hurts so bad to let go of your youth but so.. thrilling, to become independent, yknow
Still don’t understand what music does to you Sometimes it makes you sad, sometimes it hypes you, sometimes it makes you take a certain decision, sometimes it makes it all confusing, sometimes it creates a bond between you and someone else, sometimes it clears it all up, and still, we can’t explain how
That's why i say fuck Aliens lol. We're out there looking for a better forms of life, but do any of them have or create music? Can they move our emotions because that beautiful thing overpowers anything a civilization can bring to the universe.
so... she is haunted by her past traumas and the broken, hurt girl she was that was affected by them. she runs away from it her whole life, until the end when she finally destroys the version of herself that was hurt-- symbolizing how she finally let go of her past. and he was there for her the whole time. i cried watching this video, i hope everyone can symbolically burn the dark parts of their past
Freaking nostalgia is getting me rn. I miss this and other songs on the radio. Alternative isn't as great as it was 5-4 yrs ago. I don't know how this never made me cry during my seasonal depression during winter. I clearly remember this during winter.
Indeed. Good music is good music. I saw them early on their career. Just after ain’t no test for the wicked. It was at a small club in San Francisco for 10 bucks!
Seeing Peter and Harry unite, biking down to their good ol' Midtown High School, and chatting together in Spider-Man 2 was just too EMOTIONALLY HEARTWARMING. HIT ME RIGHT THERE!!
I listened to this song when I was 15 and I didn’t understand it and I just liked the sound. My girlfriend Died about 3 months ago and now I understand why this song means so much to me. Cigarette daydream, you were only 17, so sweet, with the mean streak, nearly brought me to my knees. And now everytime I listen to this song. I think of her and just gaze at the sky...
This comment hit deep . I cried because I know exactly what you're talking about . This song makes me think of my late Mom and Grandma . Sometimes I'll look up at the sky and smile hoping they see me from Heaven .
This song is truly a work of art. It captures and talks about that stuck feeling when you're in a spiral and time just flies by. Mistakes happen and regrets stay. You can try to find answers, in whatever condition. But life happens too fast.
It’s kind of inexplicable, honestly. This comment perfectly summarized it tho. I had been hearing this song on the radio a lot, way before I saw the music video. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m realizing that a lot of the imagery perfectly parallels thoughts I had when just listening to it. Spooky.
When I was a young kid I always thought of 17 as the “golden year” where everything goes right. It’s always that way in the songs. I’d be going on these crazy adventures with friends and be blindly in love. But nah, being seventeen sucks.
I hated being seventeen too. I felt so lost and alone. People are very vulnerable at that age, and there is so much pressure to make something out of their lives. Being young is difficult, many older people forget how hard it is.
That's how i discovered cage the elephant. I already knew ain't no rest for the wicked but didn't properly discover the band until Spider-Man 2. I'm yet to listen to their albums but I now know a few tracks
I remember sitting on a bench in my quiet town, cold beginnings of winter hitting me- I never liked the cold- and the clock hit 12:00AM..I cried for the first time in a long time, in the turn to my 18th birthday. This song blared in coincidence in my friend's car as she pulled up to the brick walk way where I sat. I'll never forget that moment. It started sleet-raining and she took me on a drive to cheer me up. As this song went on I sang it loud and proud like the fun idiot I could still be back then, and my friend who was easily annoyed by 'radio music' jammed and sang along with me in time for the @3:00 mark... I bought my "first" pack of cigs-- and the clerk didn't even card me, just that one time, of course. We both knew I was about to be left out in the cold from friends and family alike, I'd probably become homeless in due time thanks to my failing health, and life would only get more difficult from there. True nihilists at heart. One day we both lit cigarettes and just sat in silence, overlooking our usual spot over at the river dam. Eventually she left, too. This song always gives me bittersweet feelings. I never got to feel like a kid, be a kid, have a 'normal childhood'; but, even now I do miss those days for what they were.
I fell in love with a girl and when we first ever talked, I had just found this song earlier that day. I used it as a conversation starter and she loved it and it became our song. Whenever i felt sad or scared we wouldnt last I'd lay outside in my yard and look at the stars while listening to this. I never had the courage to tell her how I really felt and we always were just friends. I regret not telling her so much and miss the times we had. No matter how hard I try I cant get over us...
Lost a high school friend suddenly, about 2 years ago. Right before they graduated and turned 18. This song actually really means a lot for me thank you so much.
I was 17 when this came out, and I'm just realizing that now. This song will always provide a visceral sensation for me. One of those songs whose power can't be explained through word alone. It's simply a feeling that can't be described.
I don’t know why but when I listen to this song I get a really nice feeling in my chest and feel at peace. I can’t explain why but I’m so thankful for the existence of this song.
This song describes and gives the feeling of being 17 so accurately. Something about being 17 is so scary to me. You have only one year left of being a “child” yet you still have so much to learn. Soon you will be graduating high school and will never be a little kid again. Your life flashes before your eyes and the sudden rush of anxiety and despair you feel once you hit this age is unexplainably heartbreaking. You can’t go back to your childhood and do things differently after clearly seeing what you should’ve done differently. You don’t even know how to be an adult or what you are going to be doing with your life.. will you stay in this mess for the rest of your life.. or if not.. will you will even be able to make a name for yourself and be able to be looked upon by society as something valuable just because of your job title and your salary? You think, did I do enough? Did I waste all of my time fixating on things that doesn’t matter? Will I ever make it out of this rut that I’m in? It’s sad that we all have to think this way in this messed up world that we live in. I’ve never felt so understood by a song. This song hurts.. especially when your 17 and looking for the answers.
@@JoeJoe-ri4bv I won't tell you it gets better, but don't lose hope! Even if it doesn't get better, it will get different. There's still so much to experience! :)
I am obsessed with music. It speaks to parts of your brain that words can’t reach. The Impact it has on our psyche and behavior is amazing. It has to power to shape our personality.
you can really feel the love matt (the lead singer) has for Juliet (the woman in the video who is also his wife) through the video and the amazing song he wrote. his emotions practically bleed in every one of his songs and his performances are truly spectacular. he has such an amazing passion for his music and it an easily be seen here. this man is going places and so is the band. in the future, they will be remembered as artists that did something great.
Did you stand there all alone? Oh I cannot explain what's going down I can see you standing next to me In and out somewhere else right now You sigh, look away I can see it clear as day Close your eyes, so afraid Hide behind that baby face Do do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer Funny how it seems like yesterday As I recall you were looking out of place Gathered up your things and slipped away No time at all I followed you into the hall Cigarette daydream You were only seventeen So sweet with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees Do do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do Do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain
Yess!!! The song means so much to me, my mother died very young 2 years ago (I was thirteen) and the song somehow helped me process it. Now it's known and people on tiktok use the sound and don't even understand what it's all about
it’s just beautiful how one song with the same lyrics means something different to everyone. the way it makes them feel , the way they relate to the song is truly pure. i love this song and it has been my favorite thing in the world since i was a little girl. it makes me want to sob and rip my heart out and sing and dance all at the same time. i feel so special that i get to hear what this song means to others in this comment section.
About 7 months ago a good friend of mine, also 17, committed suicide. This song brings me back too. It’s not easy at all, to loose a friend so suddenly and without warning, and the closure may never come, but better days are ahead ❤️
+XYZ_GAMING hey man I understand what your going through if I'm right you might be going through the same shit I'm going through. I got to tell you you have to keep it together. There will be an end to what's happening you just have to strive to find it. But don't let it be the end of everything. People love you just remember that. I know I'm just a person on the internet but really I know people love you and there's no reson to end it keep going life will get better it's all you got.
This is honestly why I like Cage. Their heavier punk songs are nice. Their bass is exhilarating. They can be so full of energy, but this right here is what I want from them. A less formal sounding, more raw coldplay sound. Something relatable and great to either chill out with or bite through a fit of depression with.
i started listening to this song when i was 16. ive always been told i’ve been mature for my age growing up, due to a lot of abuse i endured. the year i was 16 was one of the worst years of my life. i talked my father out of committing su!c!de, twice, which was incredibly traumatizing for me at the time. i struggled heavily with depression, to the point where i contemplated my own life at one point. i spent hours staring out my bedroom window when it rained, and have a vivid memory of just standing in the rain crying for something to pull me out of my pain. i fell behind in school after being an honours student, and missed close to over 100 days of school. this song truly did save me. i happened to be playing my spotify on a random shuffle which is what led to me finding this song. i think this song had such an emotional toll on me because the lyrics resonated with me so well. here i am, now 17, coming back to this song as my dad is in the hospital, nearing his death bed. i feel this song will stick with me for the rest of my life. thank you cte ❤
This song is incredible, it makes you feel hopeful but at the same time sad, i think it talks about how we always try to find a reason to continue, to be better. Although sometimes we do not know exactly how. Cage the elephant is simply magical.
I go back to this song from time to time to reflect on my life when I'm depressed, self-loathing, and feel like I'm lost in life. It reminds myself I have to let go, and move on from my past no matter how much it screwed with my present. It's hard to look for the answers. But, it won't stop me from doing it. I know it's worth it.
same place im in rn just chilling rn listening to this i have the same problem of self loathing and it suck idk what to do about it im still lookin for answers too
One day, in 20 or so years, this song will randomly come on when I’m 40 years old and putting together dinner for my children and spouse after years of not listening to it. I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for the rush of emotions I’ll experience in that moment
They should release a single with those included it be so awesome its seems insignificant yet adds so much. It reminds me of kids from yesterday by MCR take away the end and the beginning of that song and it loses some thing.
I agree. I realized a few days ago while listening to it on my iPod that the reason the piano here sounds so fitting is because it's used in the background of the chorus. Listen for it. It's pretty nice, because if you just sort of listen to the song but don't tear it apart too much (or just randomly realize it like I did), it just seems 'right'. You don't have to look for it or realize it to enjoy it.
sebastian garcia saw this 6 months later. Hope your alright now. Ive never been severely depressed but have had days because of a fucked gene mutation. Talk to someone about. Anyone
Okaay but yeah, I relate to your comment especially w/ this song .. it helped me feel ... not lost or alone , it helped me realize that other people have it the saame if not worse , helped me get through it bc if you can do it , and I can do it and together we’re stronger , than our hopes and strength make the weak ones strong enough to lift themselves up .. I hope you are doing okaay , I hope you can breath and your chest isn’t tight , I hope nothing but the best for you. Depression and suicidal thoughts are real , and real being people who actually have them , not those who glorify it and try to make it something romantic , people struggle on a daily and I hope that you are doing better. I dont know you , but you deserve better
@@lisaquiroga7981 lmao he said "had" no need to keep on apologizing for something he had wanted to go through And people ain't idiot's, everybody knows that depression and suicidal thoughts are real.
josh schaefer i hope not too. look what happened to the 1975... they've been swarmed by fangirls urgh. before, the fandom was just chill but now, some listeners are just hypocrites bc they want to be in the mainstream. i really hate the fangirling thing so much especially to indie bands. smh
imaboss7277 Well also, art is subjective and anything that comes to mind is a great thing in itself. I personally think of innocence lost and this particular character is going through a troublesome time because she is lost and taking it out on herself and others (the fence/being caged in&the trunk scene at the end). I think Matt/Brad/Daniel/Jared function as death and life in the sense of being there to calm her fears and ours through music. Yet, because Matt embraces her at the end, its also like their music is able to help us along and sort through the bad to find the good? I don't know, its off the rails and not a 'perfect' analysis because art doesn't have to be perfect. The cop thing? Not sure, could be getting stopped along the way, but also recognizing systematic pressures exist, yet not succumbing to them completely. Only watched it once so far, but I like the introduction; so much different imagery. Also the expressions from the band's faces are incredible---searching for answers.
To me it is about freeing yourself from the past and allowing yourself to be loved. Sometimes we can be hard on ourselves and don't think we are worthy of love and therefore destroy a good thing. If rather, we can destroy that negative part of ourselves we thereby let go of what is holding us back and have a shot at truly being happy. It is a hard thing to do though bc love requires vulnerability. Great video :)
I recently said to someone that people made it through the 90's because of heartfelt songs like this (referring to a lot of 90's alternative) that hit everyone and because it was on the radio you knew it. That we all might feel this way sometimes when coming of age and feeling incredibly overwhelmed and there's a small tad bit of solace when you can smile and listen to a song like this.To just feel the wind, get off your damn phone, smile at someone and know that we all fight a hard battle.
I feel like this song is about depression and contemplating your life over a cigarette and I for one have taken smoke breaks in the rain. When you see someone smoking a cigarette their not focused on getting nicotine they are trying to relax and catch a break so they can think. Cigarettes are not the answer that's why I like the theme of searching for it. Reminiscing back to simple highschool and or college times when we thought we had it all figured out because we truly lived for the present and not the future now in the real world we have to live in the present worrying about the future while looking back at our past like we were two people holding hands and just let go.
Well way to interpret it literally. The chorus doesn't directly rate to anything so that can still be metaphorically contemplated as I was saying but cool to know its about a special woman I didn't get that from the video at all.
growing up with these guys was so weird. like..they were nobody and now their stuff has more upvotes than the entire population of the city we grew up in. it's crazy
Met Matt at Best Buy right after NRFTW got big. He came in with his mom and were buying up all the CDs they could find. I didn't know who was while I was talking to him but after I got home I realized that he was the dude singing the song I had been rocking out to on "Borderlands". BG music scene is very respectable for its size.
I don't personally talk to them anymore, I'm just super busy and have kind of moved on with my life, but my sister is still close with them and their parents!
My dad died 2 months ago this was his favorite song he was only 38🕊️ thank you for this beautiful song always reminds me of him and the memories we had😕
We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. -Doctor Who
does anyone else absolutely love how this music video connects multiple genres of human expression in a single representation? i mean, looking at the comments.there are people mentioning relationships, emotions, and even works of literature that this song evokes memories of. i think that's crazy. i think that's art.
i had a friend group (skaters) and one put us on to this song, we'd jam tf outta it go explore random deserted warehouses climb buildings... we'd get real high and scream every word to this song in the car with it playing loud haha.. one of my good friends (the one who showed us this song) got 15 years and he'll be out 2032.. the other one passed away last year... i miss these guys and think about them everyday..
Imagine when all the people in this comment section grow old and we all gradually look back to this video and either see all our old comments or see others comments from years ago. The nostalgia and seeing how far we will have gotten in life and that we didn't give up I think will be a powerful feeling

I fell in love with a girl and seeing her slowly fall out of love is the most painful feeling in the world. Edit: she fell out of love with me and refuses to talk me and now my life feels void less I have lost the love of my life and best friend in one. Edit:This might be the lamest thing I have ever said I can’t believe I felt this way at some point
It’s okay bro things will get better. Of course I don’t know the situation but know you have a great taste in music and I hope you and the girl work out well! 😎
First time I listened to Cage the Elephant was live at a music festival last year. I was waiting close to front row waiting for another act on the same stage. I heard their name and I was a little skeptical on how good they would be. They put on a great show and have been listening to them since them.
similar way for me... except it was them before foo fighters... in which foo fighters got first place for best music video of 2010 with Cage the Elephant coming in second.
+PabloCruise91 I had my wife riding along in my car and I asked her where do you think this band is from? She said Manchester? Sheffield? I said no. From our home town of Bowling Green Kentucky, her jaw dropped.
Ah. I love reading people’s comments about how much this song means to them and how this song was there for them at moments of their lives. This song was the first song I heard from them, it was while I had my first break up from my first love. It was painful and I felt alone and I was just, confused? But hearing this song some how brought comfort and I felt better. It’s not thing big probably, but it helped me a lot during that time. I finally saw them this past summer and I remember not seeing this song on the set list, I was a little upset but was still excited to see them. Half way through their set list, guess what starts to play??? Yeah. Cigarette Daydreams. And I lost it. I cried so much. It was beautiful. I will never forget it.
This story is so heartwarming. Almost feels like a movie to me. Cage the elephant is a great band, I hope to see them live one day. Hope your doing well!
This music video makes me want to cry. But somehow in a good way. It makes me think about losing what made me a kid but it also makes me think of the adult that I'm finally becoming. You spend your whole childhood wanting to be an adult and then spend the entirety of your adult life wanting to be a kid. The human mind is funny isn't it?
I've always liked this band I'm a 64 year old man. I just get tired when I hear people my age saying there's no good music out there and I keep telling them there is if you look for it. You're so much of it out there music is good you're never too old to love good music. And I just like to style the song it's really laid-back.
Jim Plper have you heard the new album? i think you’d like it
Jim Plper so much good music to be discovered!
Boomer makes fun of boomers
Jim, your a rare bread for your time. Most people your age denie the possibilities for new opportunities because their getting old so they denie everything new.
So dont be like them, you can always find opportunities no matter the age.
Love you jim.
I hope your doing well.
Thank you Jim I will keep venturing. :-)

A few months ago, my best friend died at the age of 19. The months before he died, we played this song as loud as we could. It was played at his funeral and now it is his anthem.
Nick Reeve im sorry for you loss...if you don't mind me asking how did your friend pass?
I am sorry for your loss
Omg I'm feeling so bad at this comment so it's been 1 year my reply brought you back... Sorry for that hope you are doing well..
Would be hard to listen to it after that
I’m so sorry you lost your best friend, and at such a young age. I wish you happiness and hope for your future.
When this song makes you feel like riding your bike through your neighborhood with your best friend. All the way to your old high school.
Mine would be elementary but I lost all those friends I still wonder how they’re doing sometimes
When this song makes you feel like you're about to break into your old high school with your best friend for nostalgia and flashback to 16 years old doing the same thing

Cage The Elephant will one day be that “old” band my future kids demand me to stop constantly playing everyday
literally
Hi would you give this new indie band a chance they are called The Impures
@@stormfromxmen3701 where can i listen to them
litterally meee
it already is
Still can’t believe this is the same band that sang ain’t no rest for the wicked
Right? This band is so much better than i originally gave them credit for when ain't no rest for the wicked first came out. I'm glad i gave them a second chance, cause i love them now.
Ain’t no rest for the wicked was to attract people
Really? Idk. I can see it. Cage the Elephant is really the only non electronic band I listen to, and I love it
This is what drugs do to you. There music has always been amazing but you can tell Matt shultz became more tranquil, including more meanings of life and death in their music.
What? Ain't No Rest For The Wicked was a good song and you can't covice me otherwise.
This song means a lot to me because 12 years ago I went to the gas station for a snickers and the clerk told me they were all out.
You are da voice of our generation sir.
And from that day on the store clerk bought ever snicker in every store
@@mattwizardoflefek9876 cool
Ha! Nice 🤙
You look like the ghost from a ghost story
my daughter is going to sing this solo at her 8th grade chorus concert. She overcame bullying and self-harm during middle school. I'm so proud of her, and this song to me is her letting go of that period of her life as she leaves middle school into high school. I can't wait to watch her sing live to all her peers.
good luck to her! Youve raised such a strong daughter and you should be proud of yourself too
awesome for her
Such an emotional song. Sounds like you have a great daughter. Very in tune
Good for your daughter! I’m sorry it was like that
Good for her, I was tall and strong enough to fight back; I lost and won on my battles.
This is the type of song that gives you a deep feeling in your heart, almost like nostalgia or some type of regret maybe even happiness. You don’t know what or why but you feel it inside almost begging to be let out, I don’t know what feeling this song gives me but all I know is that it moves me in some way I can’t explain
Could have not said it any better.
You certainly can't. But that's good. Until you post that you can't..while trying to explain..cigarette daydreaming
Same here it’s melancholic but yet uplifting and hopeful it’s such a good fucking sign
❤😌 Much peace and the deepest compassion in your journey.

I can't put in words the weight that this song has in my life.
Same.
João Victor This is mine and my boyfriend’s song. He sang it to me when I was 17 and I fell in love with it. I already told him it’s going to have to be in our wedding 😂

Haha yeah I just got the game yesterday & I heard it playing.
Brooooo😭
This was already one of my favourite tracks of theirs before I heard it in Spider-Man 2... Between this and their usage of Seabird, Insomniac had me bawling...
@@DarthJarJar10 also played the Shins' "New Slang" during the basketball part.
@@thejesse, thank you! I tried to Shazam it once and it didn't work!
my gf named eliza literally just broke up with me so im just putting this here so whenever someone likes it ill be reminded about how much i loved her
This is probably one of my all time favorite songs now. It sort of makes me happy and sad at the same time... ya know?

I wanna cut myself every time I listen to it because Its SOOOOOOOO FUCKING DEPRESSING FUCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

Fuck life!!!
I've listened to this an unhealthy amount of times

No such amount exists
Can't be unhealthy if it is this masterpiece

Dont worry its healthy
Depression is a hell of a drug
Victor Ruiz and I wear it so well
Oof
its addictive as heck
Depression isn't a drug it's a mental condition

the absolute whiplash i got when this song played in spider-man 2, felt like i was reminiscing on simpler times with them
spider man or spider verse?
@@emmettsacredundusted1054Marvels Spider-Man 2 game
I think the song is about it being okay to cut out select parts of your past like the trauma, abuse, neglect, etc but you cant let those memories completely envelop you. You also need to remember the good times and keep those and cherish and love them
awwww
agreed, I think it's about letting go
Little reminder of this masterpiece of a song
This band got its start doing the open mic night in high school at my parents restaurant. Lil sis was their original keyboardist.
I think this song is about Hannah, who got sis in all kinds of trouble.
It feels like we're all friends here.
It’s a nice feeling:]
😀
Hiii friend ❤️
We are not tho
Hiiiiii
When you fall in love. This song means something. But if you lose them it means even more. He was a cigarette daydream, 17 and sweet but strongheaded, He was my world man. But than i had gathered up my things and slipped 963 miles away. He said he loved me so much and patience. Now i lay here in the dark, and my favourite song instead if making me smile, makes me bawl. He was so beautiful.
damn
Jesus Christ. The first thing you said is so accurate
soo much clarily of thoughts in just four lines
damn Angelina, I can relate to this so much. How you feeling now?
i connect more with it in regards to sexual assault and how she finds it so hard to tell people what happened to her, hence the gag
I'm 50, and can still relate to this song. Let me tell you that time goes by so fast, life can be a blur if you let it
Yes I found after 30 the next 20 years flew by. When you’re a kid weeks seemed months and months felt like years. I’m 52 now and I I’m kind of shocked if that makes sense.
@@phoenixgirl70 Good morning 🌄. Wasn't expecting a reply to my comment, but I like the song and live in Cave creek AZ. If you live in Phoenix; you probably been right by my house
@@JohnCowart-hm2nz Oh sorry I’m not actually in the States! Phoenix is in reference to the mythical bird. I hope the heat has been letting up down there. Arizona is so beautiful but some parts sound like the surface of the sun! Feel so bad for the people with no air conditioning or just burning their feet stepping out to the mailbox. Been leaving little bowls of water for the bunnies, squirrels, etc.
@@phoenixgirl70 Each year becomes a smaller percentage of your life. 20% of your life at 5 is only 2% of your life at 50. So your perception is that it went faster when you look back. That's because your reference or basis for what time seems to be, is the sum of your experienced time. I don't think it seems to pass more quickly in the moment. Only retrospectively.
The upside to this is that if there's something I'm not looking forward to, I'll look in the mirror and remind myself that I'll be back home before I know it. Sure enough, I'm soon looking at myself again. As if the memories of the day were planted there and I had never moved.

There’s just something about being 17. Something devastating, and something detaching that this song brings to light.
It sucks to br17
@@MoMo-nj2oc i know. i just recently turned 18, but 17 was the worst point for me. it does get better. i promjse
I feel like at 17 you're old enough to not be scared of being wild but you still have those hormones and teenage brain motivating you. Makes it a pretty exciting year. At least that was my experience with it. 17 was my most dramatic teenage year I think. I kinda miss it but also am so glad I'm more mature now (at 19)
It's so true
17 is like the forgotten age, in a way. You’re just waiting to become an adult, and it hurts so bad to let go of your youth but so.. thrilling, to become independent, yknow
The "You were only 17" line hits me EVERY time. So many bad things happened that year, but also so many great things. My fav song of all time.

Still don’t understand what music does to you
Sometimes it makes you sad, sometimes it hypes you, sometimes it makes you take a certain decision, sometimes it makes it all confusing, sometimes it creates a bond between you and someone else, sometimes it clears it all up, and still, we can’t explain how
Then I get hit by a bus or something
That's what real music does
Music can simply put you in touch what you already feel and embrace it:)
Ely Bignetti emotion baby
That's why i say fuck Aliens lol. We're out there looking for a better forms of life, but do any of them have or create music? Can they move our emotions because that beautiful thing overpowers anything a civilization can bring to the universe.
This is my favorite song of all time, so I am going to leave this comment here so that when someone likes it I can return!
return now
i summon thee @ui00p
Hurry back
come back :)
It’s my favorite song too. It reminds me of my high school days best time of my life.
so... she is haunted by her past traumas and the broken, hurt girl she was that was affected by them. she runs away from it her whole life, until the end when she finally destroys the version of herself that was hurt-- symbolizing how she finally let go of her past. and he was there for her the whole time. i cried watching this video, i hope everyone can symbolically burn the dark parts of their past
Man I wish I could
I've done so many things I regret... I wish I didn't do them
I dont think he wanted her to do it at the end...as he falls to his knees when she torches the car...but then he accepts her decision.
Its hard if your past keeps catching up to you by other people
Freaking nostalgia is getting me rn. I miss this and other songs on the radio. Alternative isn't as great as it was 5-4 yrs ago. I don't know how this never made me cry during my seasonal depression during winter. I clearly remember this during winter.
listening to this again with 15 minutes till i turn 18, it’s been one hell of a ride.
Happy birthday 🤠

Indeed. Good music is good music. I saw them early on their career. Just after ain’t no test for the wicked. It was at a small club in San Francisco for 10 bucks!

Brilliant Arrow probably need to get that checked out

That's sweet
Trust me, i know exactly what she feels
I get that. I know what she means 😣
I listened to this song when I was 15 and I didn’t understand it and I just liked the sound. My girlfriend Died about 3 months ago and now I understand why this song means so much to me. Cigarette daydream, you were only 17, so sweet, with the mean streak, nearly brought me to my knees. And now everytime I listen to this song. I think of her and just gaze at the sky...
This comment hit deep . I cried because I know exactly what you're talking about . This song makes me think of my late Mom and Grandma . Sometimes I'll look up at the sky and smile hoping they see me from Heaven .
🥺🥺
This hit me way too much, lots of love to you - I’m very sorry for your loss
I'm so so so sorry she passed away I hope she can rest well above you
sorry for your loss mate
This song is truly a work of art. It captures and talks about that stuck feeling when you're in a spiral and time just flies by. Mistakes happen and regrets stay. You can try to find answers, in whatever condition. But life happens too fast.

yessss, how is this possible??
It’s kind of inexplicable, honestly. This comment perfectly summarized it tho. I had been hearing this song on the radio a lot, way before I saw the music video. Now that I’ve seen it, I’m realizing that a lot of the imagery perfectly parallels thoughts I had when just listening to it. Spooky.
When I was a young kid I always thought of 17 as the “golden year” where everything goes right. It’s always that way in the songs. I’d be going on these crazy adventures with friends and be blindly in love. But nah, being seventeen sucks.
Thats 25 you're thinking of :)
i have never related to a youtube comment before
Wait until you’re 40 and you’ll remember how awesome 17 was.
I wanna like this, but its at 17 so no i wont
I hated being seventeen too. I felt so lost and alone. People are very vulnerable at that age, and there is so much pressure to make something out of their lives. Being young is difficult, many older people forget how hard it is.
Absolutely love that they put this song in the new Spider-Man 2 game, it fits the moment so perfectly
That's how i discovered cage the elephant. I already knew ain't no rest for the wicked but didn't properly discover the band until Spider-Man 2. I'm yet to listen to their albums but I now know a few tracks
cant describe the role of this song in my life....something about the tune. can listen to this on loop for the rest of life.
Me too!!!
I remember sitting on a bench in my quiet town, cold beginnings of winter hitting me- I never liked the cold- and the clock hit 12:00AM..I cried for the first time in a long time, in the turn to my 18th birthday. This song blared in coincidence in my friend's car as she pulled up to the brick walk way where I sat. I'll never forget that moment. It started sleet-raining and she took me on a drive to cheer me up. As this song went on I sang it loud and proud like the fun idiot I could still be back then, and my friend who was easily annoyed by 'radio music' jammed and sang along with me in time for the @3:00 mark... I bought my "first" pack of cigs-- and the clerk didn't even card me, just that one time, of course. We both knew I was about to be left out in the cold from friends and family alike, I'd probably become homeless in due time thanks to my failing health, and life would only get more difficult from there. True nihilists at heart. One day we both lit cigarettes and just sat in silence, overlooking our usual spot over at the river dam. Eventually she left, too. This song always gives me bittersweet feelings. I never got to feel like a kid, be a kid, have a 'normal childhood'; but, even now I do miss those days for what they were.
this is beautiful man, i love it
VicDame awe
This is proabally one of the best comments I have ever seen.
this is beautiful
my eyes are sweating.
I fell in love with a girl and when we first ever talked, I had just found this song earlier that day. I used it as a conversation starter and she loved it and it became our song. Whenever i felt sad or scared we wouldnt last I'd lay outside in my yard and look at the stars while listening to this. I never had the courage to tell her how I really felt and we always were just friends. I regret not telling her so much and miss the times we had. No matter how hard I try I cant get over us...
been there, eats u alive

Lost a high school friend suddenly, about 2 years ago. Right before they graduated and turned 18. This song actually really means a lot for me thank you so much.

This song is odd. It makes you look at your past differently. It’s strange, and that’s what makes it such a masterpiece.

I was 17 when this came out, and I'm just realizing that now. This song will always provide a visceral sensation for me. One of those songs whose power can't be explained through word alone. It's simply a feeling that can't be described.
Also born in 1995? 😊

Hi would you give this new indie band a chance they are called The Impures
i know exactly what you mean, it’s kinda sad but also really peaceful
Maybe cause there is always hope.
This song describes and gives the feeling of being 17 so accurately. Something about being 17 is so scary to me. You have only one year left of being a “child” yet you still have so much to learn. Soon you will be graduating high school and will never be a little kid again. Your life flashes before your eyes and the sudden rush of anxiety and despair you feel once you hit this age is unexplainably heartbreaking. You can’t go back to your childhood and do things differently after clearly seeing what you should’ve done differently. You don’t even know how to be an adult or what you are going to be doing with your life.. will you stay in this mess for the rest of your life.. or if not.. will you will even be able to make a name for yourself and be able to be looked upon by society as something valuable just because of your job title and your salary? You think, did I do enough? Did I waste all of my time fixating on things that doesn’t matter? Will I ever make it out of this rut that I’m in? It’s sad that we all have to think this way in this messed up world that we live in. I’ve never felt so understood by a song. This song hurts.. especially when your 17 and looking for the answers.
i passed my 17 phase of life, see i came out alive, so will u, have a great life!
I'm 20 now and as far as I can say, I will stay in this mess forever. But it's a beautiful mess somehow
My first time hearing it and I understood it right away as I am 17 and in this predicament idk what to do anymore tbh life just sucks tbh
@@JoeJoe-ri4bv I won't tell you it gets better, but don't lose hope! Even if it doesn't get better, it will get different. There's still so much to experience! :)
This is so true ohh... Now I'm 17 it's fells like you're in rollercoster but I neverknow where it goes.
I've had rainy nights where I drive around just thinking about my life. It's a thing.

I love doing that. Its blissful and painful all in the same sense. Crazy world we live in!!
It’s like being in your own universe but knowing you’re a part of something so much bigger...

I am obsessed with music. It speaks to parts of your brain that words can’t reach. The Impact it has on our psyche and behavior is amazing. It has to power to shape our personality.
you can really feel the love matt (the lead singer) has for Juliet (the woman in the video who is also his wife) through the video and the amazing song he wrote. his emotions practically bleed in every one of his songs and his performances are truly spectacular. he has such an amazing passion for his music and it an easily be seen here. this man is going places and so is the band. in the future, they will be remembered as artists that did something great.

As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away

This is honestly why I like Cage. Their heavier punk songs are nice. Their bass is exhilarating. They can be so full of energy, but this right here is what I want from them. A less formal sounding, more raw coldplay sound. Something relatable and great to either chill out with or bite through a fit of depression with.
i started listening to this song when i was 16. ive always been told i’ve been mature for my age growing up, due to a lot of abuse i endured. the year i was 16 was one of the worst years of my life. i talked my father out of committing su!c!de, twice, which was incredibly traumatizing for me at the time. i struggled heavily with depression, to the point where i contemplated my own life at one point. i spent hours staring out my bedroom window when it rained, and have a vivid memory of just standing in the rain crying for something to pull me out of my pain. i fell behind in school after being an honours student, and missed close to over 100 days of school. this song truly did save me. i happened to be playing my spotify on a random shuffle which is what led to me finding this song. i think this song had such an emotional toll on me because the lyrics resonated with me so well. here i am, now 17, coming back to this song as my dad is in the hospital, nearing his death bed. i feel this song will stick with me for the rest of my life. thank you cte ❤
❤🙌🏻
hows it going now bud?
Gotta love music, Hope you’re ok :)
How are you doing ?
Stay strong my friend❤
how are Caged Elephants so unpopular!!! its like the best music ever
Tiaan Rothmann I don't know. there full albums aren't popular but they usually have at least 2 an album that are pretty huge hits
23 Million = Unpopular
whoever made this video, it's genius
This song is incredible, it makes you feel hopeful but at the same time sad, i think it talks about how we always try to find a reason to continue, to be better. Although sometimes we do not know exactly how. Cage the elephant is simply magical.
yesss, how is this possible?
bittersweet is the word ya want :)
Thank you Spider-Man 2 for introducing me to 3 spectacular songs!!
I go back to this song from time to time to reflect on my life when I'm depressed, self-loathing, and feel like I'm lost in life. It reminds myself I have to let go, and move on from my past no matter how much it screwed with my present. It's hard to look for the answers. But, it won't stop me from doing it. I know it's worth it.
same place im in rn just chilling rn listening to this i have the same problem of self loathing and it suck idk what to do about it im still lookin for answers too
One day, in 20 or so years, this song will randomly come on when I’m 40 years old and putting together dinner for my children and spouse after years of not listening to it. I don’t think I’m mentally prepared for the rush of emotions I’ll experience in that moment
That piano goes so well at the start and end!
They should release a single with those included it be so awesome its seems insignificant yet adds so much.
It reminds me of kids from yesterday by MCR take away the end and the beginning of that song and it loses some thing.
I agree. I realized a few days ago while listening to it on my iPod that the reason the piano here sounds so fitting is because it's used in the background of the chorus. Listen for it. It's pretty nice, because if you just sort of listen to the song but don't tear it apart too much (or just randomly realize it like I did), it just seems 'right'. You don't have to look for it or realize it to enjoy it.
Overall a beautiful song!
I seriously want to find the music for the piano part I would love to learn that and play it some day

“Cigarette daydream

I personally think of innocence lost and this particular character is going through a troublesome time because she is lost and taking it out on herself and others (the fence/being caged in&the trunk scene at the end).
I think Matt/Brad/Daniel/Jared function as death and life in the sense of being there to calm her fears and ours through music. Yet, because Matt embraces her at the end, its also like their music is able to help us along and sort through the bad to find the good? I don't know, its off the rails and not a 'perfect' analysis because art doesn't have to be perfect.
The cop thing? Not sure, could be getting stopped along the way, but also recognizing systematic pressures exist, yet not succumbing to them completely. Only watched it once so far, but I like the introduction; so much different imagery. Also the expressions from the band's faces are incredible---searching for answers.
To me it is about freeing yourself from the past and allowing yourself to be loved. Sometimes we can be hard on ourselves and don't think we are worthy of love and therefore destroy a good thing. If rather, we can destroy that negative part of ourselves we thereby let go of what is holding us back and have a shot at truly being happy. It is a hard thing to do though bc love requires vulnerability. Great video :)
Marshall Wilkos Now explain the come a little closer video
Jebediah Kerman haha nobody can do that same thing with heart shaped box by nirvana
3:00 is the part your probably looking for
this is a weird kind of nostalgia
I recently said to someone that people made it through the 90's because of heartfelt songs like this (referring to a lot of 90's alternative) that hit everyone and because it was on the radio you knew it. That we all might feel this way sometimes when coming of age and feeling incredibly overwhelmed and there's a small tad bit of solace when you can smile and listen to a song like this.To just feel the wind, get off your damn phone, smile at someone and know that we all fight a hard battle.
I feel like this song is about depression and contemplating your life over a cigarette and I for one have taken smoke breaks in the rain. When you see someone smoking a cigarette their not focused on getting nicotine they are trying to relax and catch a break so they can think. Cigarettes are not the answer that's why I like the theme of searching for it. Reminiscing back to simple highschool and or college times when we thought we had it all figured out because we truly lived for the present and not the future now in the real world we have to live in the present worrying about the future while looking back at our past like we were two people holding hands and just let go.
Ian S this song is about his wife. When he first saw her, she was France and he tried to kiss her and she refused.
Well way to interpret it literally. The chorus doesn't directly rate to anything so that can still be metaphorically contemplated as I was saying but cool to know its about a special woman I didn't get that from the video at all.
Vincent Barango I hope it's metaphorical....there's a girl who was burned in the trunk of a car.
Ian S DUDE WELL PUT MAN!!!
holy fuck this song makes me want to rip my heart out
Same, but at the same time it makes me feel okay, ya feel? There's a sort of melancholic feeling to it.
Damn
You should hear Cover me again from their first album.
pls do
Get in line lol
I love this song and I swear it made me want to cry when it played in Spider-Man 2. ❤😢
Cant stop listening to this song
omg same
same
yes. almost too close.
exactly
same
growing up with these guys was so weird. like..they were nobody and now their stuff has more upvotes than the entire population of the city we grew up in. it's crazy
Met Matt at Best Buy right after NRFTW got big. He came in with his mom and were buying up all the CDs they could find. I didn't know who was while I was talking to him but after I got home I realized that he was the dude singing the song I had been rocking out to on "Borderlands".
BG music scene is very respectable for its size.
May I ask how you know them?
My sister went to high school with them and we always hung out and partied together
Emmy Rees that's awesome! do you still keep in touch? it must feel quite strange to see close friends of yours in the public eye!
I don't personally talk to them anymore, I'm just super busy and have kind of moved on with my life, but my sister is still close with them and their parents!
The fact that they divorced makes it so much sadder
Spinach Pineapple who divorced?
@@MoMo-nj2oc Matt, the lead singer and his wife. ( The girl in the video)
Oh that is sad. Thanks for replying.
Yeah I thought the same thing. Even with their most recent song... felt sad for him.
Now he might be going through it again :/
My dad died 2 months ago this was his favorite song he was only 38🕊️ thank you for this beautiful song always reminds me of him and the memories we had😕
this song makes my heart feel weird. it’s like crazy bittersweet.
We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be.
-Doctor Who
Hell yeah
@xxxtenchin holy shit it's the real xxxtenchin
does anyone else absolutely love how this music video connects multiple genres of human expression in a single representation? i mean, looking at the comments.there are people mentioning relationships, emotions, and even works of literature that this song evokes memories of. i think that's crazy. i think that's art.
magustas mucho ceci seamos novios
i had a friend group (skaters) and one put us on to this song, we'd jam tf outta it go explore random deserted warehouses climb buildings... we'd get real high and scream every word to this song in the car with it playing loud haha.. one of my good friends (the one who showed us this song) got 15 years and he'll be out 2032.. the other one passed away last year... i miss these guys and think about them everyday..
Songs like this: riptide, sedona, ophelia...
I'm looking for more
I thought of cavetown - home, even though it's so different. It just gives me these.. melancholic vibes...
Sleeping on the floor
This is basically my music taste cause i mainly listen to this kind of songs
bon iver will do ya!!! holocene, skinny love, lump sum, for emma, flume, re: stacks, all of his songs really. enjoy :)
also hozier!!!
Imagine when all the people in this comment section grow old and we all gradually look back to this video and either see all our old comments or see others comments from years ago. The nostalgia and seeing how far we will have gotten in life and that we didn't give up I think will be a powerful feeling
I needed to read this comment more than I can put into words today.Thank you so much
it would be so beautiful
Lyrics
Did you stand there all alone?
Oh I cannot explain what's going down
I can see you standing next to me
In and out somewhere else right now
You sigh, look away
I can see it clear as day
Close your eyes, so afraid
Hide behind that baby face
Do do do do do do
You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
Funny how it seems like yesterday
As I recall you were looking out of place
Gathered up your things and slipped away
No time at all I followed you into the hall
Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees
Do do do do do do
You can drive all night
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain
Do do do do do do
You can drive all night
Looking for answers in the pouring rain
You wanna find peace of mind
Looking for the answer
If we could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay
Standing in the pouring rain
@Clifford the big red dog dude you're literally on every song posting this.
Sick
@@carlosrojas7817 it's a good thing.
@@carlosrojas7817 Aaaq
😮🎉😅
Dayum guys were not getting any younger :l cherish the moments and memories cause thats all we really have here!
I fell in love with a girl and seeing her slowly fall out of love is the most painful feeling in the world.
Edit: she fell out of love with me and refuses to talk me and now my life feels void less I have lost the love of my life and best friend in one.
Edit:This might be the lamest thing I have ever said I can’t believe I felt this way at some point
It’s okay bro things will get better. Of course I don’t know the situation but know you have a great taste in music and I hope you and the girl work out well! 😎
I feel you. It happened to me as well...
Same thing happened to me but you will find the girl that makes you happy and vise versa just as I did stay strong man
And I fell in love once and almost completely
Oh wrong song
Stay strong lovee
i've cried while listening to this song before & i wasn't even sad, its just so touching
spooky
***** :-)
same
It probably spooked you
***** Maybe you should look into getting a heart?
First time I listened to Cage the Elephant was live at a music festival last year. I was waiting close to front row waiting for another act on the same stage. I heard their name and I was a little skeptical on how good they would be. They put on a great show and have been listening to them since them.
lucky
similar way for me... except it was them before foo fighters... in which foo fighters got first place for best music video of 2010 with Cage the Elephant coming in second.
+PabloCruise91 I had my wife riding along in my car and I asked her where do you think this band is from? She said Manchester? Sheffield? I said no. From our home town of Bowling Green Kentucky, her jaw dropped.
I discovered them because they are in the line up for lollapalooza colombia, and they are actually really good :3
First time I saw them was in the campground at Bonnaroo playing out of the back of a white van !
This is a certain songs that give me an overwhelmingly painful and bittersweet sense of nostalgia. This is definitely one of them
Ah. I love reading people’s comments about how much this song means to them and how this song was there for them at moments of their lives.
This song was the first song I heard from them, it was while I had my first break up from my first love. It was painful and I felt alone and I was just, confused? But hearing this song some how brought comfort and I felt better. It’s not thing big probably, but it helped me a lot during that time. I finally saw them this past summer and I remember not seeing this song on the set list, I was a little upset but was still excited to see them. Half way through their set list, guess what starts to play??? Yeah. Cigarette Daydreams. And I lost it. I cried so much. It was beautiful. I will never forget it.
This story is so heartwarming. Almost feels like a movie to me. Cage the elephant is a great band, I hope to see them live one day. Hope your doing well!
This music video makes me want to cry. But somehow in a good way. It makes me think about losing what made me a kid but it also makes me think of the adult that I'm finally becoming. You spend your whole childhood wanting to be an adult and then spend the entirety of your adult life wanting to be a kid. The human mind is funny isn't it?
we always want what we don't have
You never realize what you've got until it's gone.
Lol much philosophy here
