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.
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
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 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
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 😂
Did you stand there all alone? Oh, I cannot explain what's goin' down I can see you standin' 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 Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain You wanna find peace of mind Lookin' for the answer Funny how it seems like yesterday As I recall, you were lookin' 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 Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain You wanna find peace of mind Lookin' for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Lookin' for the answers If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standin' in the pourin' rain Do-do, do, do, 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 Lookin' for the answers in the pourin' rain You wanna find peace of mind Lookin' for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Lookin' for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standin' in the pourin' rain
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.

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.
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...
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.
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 .
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
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!!
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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 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
+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.
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 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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
Cigarette daydreams Cage the elephant Отображение перевода: Cigarette daydreams Сигаретные мечты Did you stand there all alone? Неужели ты стояла тут в полном одиночестве? Oh, I cannot explain what's going down Я не могу объяснить, что происходит. I can see you standing next to me Я вижу, что ты стоишь рядом со мной, In and out somewhere else right now Изнутри и снаружи ты где-то ещё прямо сейчас. You sigh, look away Ты вздыхаешь, отводишь взгляд, I can see it clear as day Я вижу это ясно как божий день, Close your eyes, so afraid Закрываешь глаза, так напугана, Hide behind that baby face Прикрываешься детским личиком. You can drive all night Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт, Looking for the answers in the pouring rain Ища ответы под проливным дождём, You wanna find peace of mind Ты хочешь обрести душевное спокойствие, Looking for the answer Ища ответ. Funny how it seems like yesterday Забавно, как будто это было вчера, As I recall, you were looking out of place Насколько я помню, ты выглядела не к месту, Gathered up your things and slipped away Собрала свои вещи и ускользнула, No time at all, I followed you into the hall В мгновение ока я последовал за тобой коридор. Cigarette daydreams Сигаретные мечты, You were only seventeen Тебе было всего семнадцать. Soft speak with a mean streak Тихая речь с каплей грубости Nearly brought me to my knees Чуть не поставила меня на колени. You can drive all night Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт, Looking for the answers in the pouring rain Ища ответы под проливным дождём, You wanna find peace of mind Ты хочешь обрести душевное спокойствие, Looking for the answer Ища ответ. If we can find a reason, a reason to change Если мы сможем найти причину, причину поменяться, Looking for the answer Ища ответ, If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Если ты сможешь найти причину, причину остаться, Standing in the pouring rain Стоя под проливным дождём. You can drive all night Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт, Looking for the answers in the pouring rain Ища ответы под проливным дождём, You wanna find peace of mind Ты хочешь обрести душевное спокойствие, Looking for the answer Ища ответ. If we can find a reason, a reason to change Если мы сможем найти причину, причину поменяться, Looking for the answer Ища ответ, If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Если ты сможешь найти причину, причину остаться, Standing in the pouring rain Стоя под проливным дождём.
My girlfriend got sent to a mental rehabilitation center a couple days ago. This song reminds me of her so much. I know she’s feeling pain deep inside, and I know no matter what I do won’t help. I see it in her eyes. I hope she can get the help she needs because she deserves it. She deserves the world and some more.
@@abestrus689 ahha that was like one of my favorite songs for the longest times and tbh with you idek if I saw this from you or I randomly found it. But thank you my guy
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 was really popular when my daughter was in high school. I ALWAYS cry when i hear it. I think of her and those beautiful, shining days. I wanted her to be 17 forever. Perfect kid, perfect neighborhood, perfect school..EVERYTHING is different now. But my daughter is still so sweet, w a mean streak. Beautiful song to remind me of my beautiful girl...whos gonna be a mama soon! ❤️
Ma'am, don't scare me like that- I thought your daughter was dead for a second there How's she and her baby doing by the way? I hope everything's going well for all of you :)
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 ❤️
As a 17 year old, I can not get this song out of my head. It seems to perfectly encapsulate all the feelings coming of age and entering the real world. It perfectly shows the promise and the tragic loss of childhood that I now realize is leaving me. It shows the optimism and pain, the hope and despair. Im terrified, but rather than do anything about it, I will listen to this song on repeat. -2022/05/24
I just... I just don't have words to describe this song. Amazing. Perfect. No, more than perfect. Magical, it's the song for dreaming, laughing, sleeping, or just passing the time. I'm totally in love with that, I fall deep in love with this beautiful piece of art, and I can't stop listen it, I can't, it's impossible.
I understand. I have been through it. Tho only thing you can do is try to keep in touch with the old friends, while making new friends. You can do it! Good Luck!
@@MoMo-nj2oc tysm but the thing is i don't know how to keep in touch with them like I'm losing interest.. but i keep forcing myself to still communicate with them
Im 20 in college and this song takes me back to my last year of high school, the fear of the unknown, not knowing what it was going to be next, saying goodbye to close friends you spent a lot of time with. I remember exactly the moment i heard this song for the first time, i was in school, in a patio, with a bunch friends , talking abt life and what we wanted to be, suddenly i hear thin song coming from my friend cellphone, it was one of that moments where you realize ''these are the good old days''. Anyway, enjoy your teen years guys, you don't have to be the most popular or the smartest, find your people, share w/ them this moment of your life. Everything is gonna be okay.
THESE are the good old days, right here and now. Reflect on the good memories but don't let them consume you. Embrace and Appreciate the now because they will soon be the "good ol days" too esse.
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.
Coming back after years still sounds amazing as first time I listened. Used to be obsessed with this song during my high school days and few months back my old classmate told me whenever she listened to this song she’d remember me like that’s the cutest thing ever. Someone remembering us whenever they listen to certain song felt really special❤️
You're right. I have something similar with this song. I would eat lunch in my homeroom classroom, and this was one of my teacher's favorite songs at the time. I always think of him every time I hear it now. One of the only healthy male role models in my entire life. I'm so glad I have things to remind me of him, like the music he listened to every day.
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
I listened to this as I was going through chemo. I felt my youth was being ripped away from me being diagnosed with incurable blood cancer at 36. I still have a baby face, but so afraid. Those lyrics. I felt life became pouring rain. This song was on heavy repeat during my treatment. I wanted to run away right before the most intense part of my treatment and just drive in my car. This song helped me get through an awful time.
all I want is to heal from what hurt me. too just forget. this song is so beautiful, and really displays how lost I feel trying to long for answers to things I never deserved.
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 :)
Helene ME TOO AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN REMIND ME OF ANYONE IT'S JUST SO EMOTIONAL LIKE YOU CAN FEEL THE EMOTIONS IN HIS VOICE AND IT HURTS AAGHHH HURTS MY HEART
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.
The very first boy I ever loved showed this song to me, a couple years ago. I thank that boy. This song opens up to me, and I hold both that love and this song dear. Cigarette Daydreams has such a deep, nostalgic feeling to it, and I get goosebumps every time I hear it. Sometimes, the emotions I get from listening to it are too strong, and I have to take it off my playlists for a while. Anyone who is able to convey such feelings into art such as this song is an extraordinarily talented artist. Thank you, mason, for being the boy who taught me love. thank you, to all the people that have worked together to make Cage The Elephant the wonderful bunch of artist they are. And thank you, to Cage The Elephant themselves.
ReverseMyCurse Music productions the berry first boy I ever libed shown me this song too, he actually shown me cage the elephant. I get a strange, nostalgic, sad feeling your talking about this song is the melancholy for me
I met my fiancé when I was 17 and I was beyond depressed looking for a way out, tried to committed suicide at 17, then I met him. This year we celebrated our 6th year anniversary and we always play this song on our anniversary date. It’s been our song, since I was 17. I can’t wait to play this at our wedding next year, it’s like the lyrics perfectly describe us, how I feel about him and how he feels about me.
Truly amazing. I wish nothing but the absolute best for you guys. Remember, it's hardwork being a good person doing what we are supposed to do. It's easy to be a coward piece of shit. You made the right choice my friend.
Basically my version was I went into it with every intention of pulling it off but then a million to one chance of something happening would happen every time after the second or third try failed and I woke up lying on the floor with the cord still wrapped around my neck the next day my friends whom I had forgotten about and I hadn't seen in years found me I was in a rush trying to clean everything up when they got through the front door and still had the noose on good thing to cause this year my wife that I had tried killing myself over losing ended up dying of cancer and I had to take over for her so she could finally rest. I told her what happened years later and she said it happened cause you're works not done yet you can't leave until it's finished that's the only words that carry me through alot of days now I went from being a mechanic to a welder to a stay at home dad of four 3 of which have autism so things pan out in ways you could never imagine I can't knock suicide cause I know what it means to be in such misery and constant pain that you can only sit and fantasize about which way would be the most effective way but you never have any way of telling what's around that next bend
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
This song gives me peace in my heart. It's so soothing for my heart, soul, and spirit. Takes me back in time to when I listened to Cage the elephant back when I was 15. This song hits me hard. Gives me all these feelings I can't explain. It's beautiful.
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. :-)
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!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
Cage The Elephant is criminally underrated. They have so many bangers.
They're good but not underrated lol
@@callumsnaylam1758 nahh they’re definitely underrated for how many bangers they have. Not enough people realize…. but they will!

@@loafabread1446 just this song though … your comment kinda proves my point actually lol
@@TWOhype23 what tf do you mean 😭
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 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.
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

Are these the lyrics to Cigarette Daydreams
@@TheNotoriousT.R.E.No, it's the plot story of Shrek
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.

finally the lyrics🕺🏻
Thank you
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:)

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.

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
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

soo much clarily of thoughts in just four lines

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 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
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
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!!
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.
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
I gree
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.
Bruuh 😭 that hits. That hits hard
Yup
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.

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

Dont worry its healthy
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 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❤
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 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.
Hi would you give this new indie band a chance they are called The Impures

True
70 years old and I listen to Cage The Elephant. Music transcends.
W grandpa
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!
It does! Was introduced to Cage the Elephant by some kids I was trying to help. Love this... also introduced me to Rainbow Kitten Suprise
I’m 56. Love them.
@@1forrealsies i bet 'grandpa' could kick yer ass, s'flake
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.
This song reminds me of the memories I don’t have

go make them then
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.
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

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.

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.

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.

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
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

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.

Everyone’s got all these deep stories and I’m just here because it was in my recommendations
😂
Atleast you get to hear this banger
same broo xD
I'm here because of Pinterest lol
Lmao- I saw this in a tik tok-
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
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.
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 !
“Cigarette daydream
You were only seventeen
So sweet with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees”
Isn't is soft speak?
I hope no RUclipsr comes around and ruins this song. Let this song just be for us
I'm not trying to ruin the mood but, nice photo. Sasageyo
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
As harmless as it is, it always floods the comments. This song needs to be preserved
I love this song and I swear it made me want to cry when it played in Spider-Man 2. ❤😢
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!
Who else is taking this bop with them into the new decade?:)
Yourself
Terry Profitt 😂😂thnx for making me laugh
of course
Oof- this hurts reading
@@madison_macy lmao really didn’t know what we had coming 😭
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.
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
Cant stop listening to this song
omg same

yes. almost too close.

Cigarette daydreams
Сигаретные мечты
Did you stand there all alone?
Неужели ты стояла тут в полном одиночестве?
Oh, I cannot explain what's going down
Я не могу объяснить, что происходит.
I can see you standing next to me
Я вижу, что ты стоишь рядом со мной,
In and out somewhere else right now
Изнутри и снаружи ты где-то ещё прямо сейчас.
You sigh, look away
Ты вздыхаешь, отводишь взгляд,
I can see it clear as day
Я вижу это ясно как божий день,
Close your eyes, so afraid
Закрываешь глаза, так напугана,
Hide behind that baby face
Прикрываешься детским личиком.
You can drive all night
Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт,
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
Ища ответы под проливным дождём,
You wanna find peace of mind
Ты хочешь обрести душевное спокойствие,
Looking for the answer
Ища ответ.
Funny how it seems like yesterday
Забавно, как будто это было вчера,
As I recall, you were looking out of place
Насколько я помню, ты выглядела не к месту,
Gathered up your things and slipped away
Собрала свои вещи и ускользнула,
No time at all, I followed you into the hall
В мгновение ока я последовал за тобой коридор.
Cigarette daydreams
Сигаретные мечты,
You were only seventeen
Тебе было всего семнадцать.
Soft speak with a mean streak
Тихая речь с каплей грубости
Nearly brought me to my knees
Чуть не поставила меня на колени.
You can drive all night
Ты можешь ехать всю ночь напролёт,
Looking for the answers in the pouring rain
Ища ответы под проливным дождём,
You wanna find peace of mind
Ты хочешь обрести душевное спокойствие,
Looking for the answer
Ища ответ.
If we can find a reason, a reason to change
Если мы сможем найти причину, причину поменяться,
Looking for the answer
Ища ответ,
If you can find a reason, a reason to stay
Если ты сможешь найти причину, причину остаться,
Standing in the pouring rain
Стоя под проливным дождём.
You can drive all night

@@ivonneflores7804 happy late birthday :)
And I'm already 18 😭
I've had rainy nights where I drive around just thinking about my life. It's a thing.
Me too but i cant drive
I just wait wait thoughts just come in by themselves
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...
Umbra not only on rainy days on every day
This songs fills me with so much nostalgia. It’s so hauntingly beautiful.
.....;i recomend this hidden gem - faceless humming by the impures
''''''''..............vvvv
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

The start of the video is art.
See you in hell the whole video is art!! I felt so bad for her 😭
ART!!
My girlfriend got sent to a mental rehabilitation center a couple days ago. This song reminds me of her so much. I know she’s feeling pain deep inside, and I know no matter what I do won’t help. I see it in her eyes. I hope she can get the help she needs because she deserves it. She deserves the world and some more.
I hope it gets better n listen to this song faceless humming by The Impures
Never give up on her brother
We don't know what people go through.
@@abestrus689 ahha that was like one of my favorite songs for the longest times and tbh with you idek if I saw this from you or I randomly found it. But thank you my guy

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😕
It's my 17th birthday today(June 17) and this song will be my reminder of this year as a 17 years old when I grow old.
Happy birthday!!!
Happy Bday bud
HBD!
Happy birthday mate
Thank you all for the greetings I haven't check my notif on the previous weeks and I'm so late to thank you all guys
This was really popular when my daughter was in high school. I ALWAYS cry when i hear it. I think of her and those beautiful, shining days. I wanted her to be 17 forever.
Perfect kid, perfect neighborhood, perfect school..EVERYTHING is different now. But my daughter is still so sweet, w a mean streak. Beautiful song to remind me of my beautiful girl...whos gonna be a mama soon! ❤️
Ma'am, don't scare me like that- I thought your daughter was dead for a second there
How's she and her baby doing by the way? I hope everything's going well for all of you :)
Some of the nicest comments I've ever seen good night guys
Much love
sleep tight
I lost a friend who was 17 in a car accident. This music allows me to never forget it, thank you
Car accidents are really heartbreaking.. nobody deserves to hear that they lost somebody like this
Same 5 days ago
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 ❤️
Same but 16 this song brings a feeling I can’t get anywhere else
I'm so sorry for your loss man. May he rest in peace
As a 17 year old, I can not get this song out of my head. It seems to perfectly encapsulate all the feelings coming of age and entering the real world. It perfectly shows the promise and the tragic loss of childhood that I now realize is leaving me. It shows the optimism and pain, the hope and despair. Im terrified, but rather than do anything about it, I will listen to this song on repeat. -2022/05/24
Hey stay strong man, it only gets harder but so do you. It's a blessing and a curse.
How’s it going as an 18 year old?
Pretty great man, I still always associate this song with the fun times I had when I was 16/17 so its pretty nostalgic :)@@-_Blitz_-
@@Adam_Adam_Adam_Adam_Adam Nice to hear it! Nostalgia is a sign that you did it right :)
Stay strong keep going you’ll find your groove one day don’t push it only try your hardest at what you love

I just... I just don't have words to describe this song. Amazing. Perfect. No, more than perfect. Magical, it's the song for dreaming, laughing, sleeping, or just passing the time. I'm totally in love with that, I fall deep in love with this beautiful piece of art, and I can't stop listen it, I can't, it's impossible.
En algun punto llegaré a la edad de mi padre, y Cage the elephant será una de esas bandas que recordaré con cariño y nostalgia.
This song made me think of the memories with my friends. I miss them sm :(
I understand. I have been through it. Tho only thing you can do is try to keep in touch with the old friends, while making new friends. You can do it! Good Luck!
@@MoMo-nj2oc tysm but the thing is i don't know how to keep in touch with them like I'm losing interest.. but i keep forcing myself to still communicate with them
hi army :)
Im 20 in college and this song takes me back to my last year of high school, the fear of the unknown, not knowing what it was going to be next, saying goodbye to close friends you spent a lot of time with. I remember exactly the moment i heard this song for the first time, i was in school, in a patio, with a bunch friends , talking abt life and what we wanted to be, suddenly i hear thin song coming from my friend cellphone, it was one of that moments where you realize ''these are the good old days''.
Anyway, enjoy your teen years guys, you don't have to be the most popular or the smartest, find your people, share w/ them this moment of your life.
Everything is gonna be okay.
Thank you I didn’t realize how much I need to here those last words
Thank you for your comment, this calms me down
THESE are the good old days, right here and now. Reflect on the good memories but don't let them consume you. Embrace and Appreciate the now because they will soon be the "good ol days" too esse.
20 is still good old days ;)
When I was deeply depressed without treatment I listened to this daily and cried
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.
@@scorch6640 "had" that's the keyword
hope you never go back to being depressed
Coming back after years still sounds amazing as first time I listened. Used to be obsessed with this song during my high school days and few months back my old classmate told me whenever she listened to this song she’d remember me like that’s the cutest thing ever. Someone remembering us whenever they listen to certain song felt really special❤️
You're right. I have something similar with this song. I would eat lunch in my homeroom classroom, and this was one of my teacher's favorite songs at the time. I always think of him every time I hear it now. One of the only healthy male role models in my entire life. I'm so glad I have things to remind me of him, like the music he listened to every day.
This band will be really big in the future. I just have good feeling.
Rob Smith They had some big moments in the past.... And honestly i dont think they really care about getting 'big' again...
They are a big hit. This song is number 1 in Alternative music.
I hope not
Then they'll suck and be crowded by fangirls
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
I listened to this as I was going through chemo. I felt my youth was being ripped away from me being diagnosed with incurable blood cancer at 36. I still have a baby face, but so afraid. Those lyrics. I felt life became pouring rain. This song was on heavy repeat during my treatment. I wanted to run away right before the most intense part of my treatment and just drive in my car. This song helped me get through an awful time.
God bless you
Incurable is a hard word to hear, especially if that is when you're diagnosed. Shout if you'd like someone to yell at or talk with. xxx
hanging in there?
I WILL PRAY FOR YOU BROTHER.
@evielaingmusic I’m doing so much better now 💜🤍💜🙏🏻 I hope to ride this wave of good health for as long as possible
Now this is even more sad because Matt and his wife divorced
omg really
@@fanyloveism yeah... their new song "Ready to let Go" is about it
Yep. Goodbye, And a ton of songs on Social Cues are about his divorce
@@NyqWill95 great album about his divorce
Now I get why this new album is so full of emotions!
all I want is to heal from what hurt me. too just forget. this song is so beautiful, and really displays how lost I feel trying to long for answers to things I never deserved.
Last comment but this video is a complete masterpiece I honestly can't get over it
Can you explain the video to me, I don't really get it, like that part with the cop
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 :)
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
This song gives me such feels. Idek why!?
Helene ME TOO AND THIS DOESN'T EVEN REMIND ME OF ANYONE IT'S JUST SO EMOTIONAL LIKE YOU CAN FEEL THE EMOTIONS IN HIS VOICE AND IT HURTS AAGHHH HURTS MY HEART
idc
Helene me too
Helene
It makes me cry sometimes. I don't know why.
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!!!
Insomniac choosed the perfect song.
And losed the wrong one. Bless your ❤️
The very first boy I ever loved showed this song to me, a couple years ago. I thank that boy. This song opens up to me, and I hold both that love and this song dear.
Cigarette Daydreams has such a deep, nostalgic feeling to it, and I get goosebumps every time I hear it.
Sometimes, the emotions I get from listening to it are too strong, and I have to take it off my playlists for a while.
Anyone who is able to convey such feelings into art such as this song is an extraordinarily talented artist.
Thank you, mason, for being the boy who taught me love.
thank you, to all the people that have worked together to make Cage The Elephant the wonderful bunch of artist they are.
And thank you, to Cage The Elephant themselves.
ReverseMyCurse Music productions the berry first boy I ever libed shown me this song too, he actually shown me cage the elephant. I get a strange, nostalgic, sad feeling your talking about this song is the melancholy for me
Bro imagine being named "Mason"
@@playmaker420s9 yeah I could never
@@playmaker420s9 lmao
I met my fiancé when I was 17 and I was beyond depressed looking for a way out, tried to committed suicide at 17, then I met him. This year we celebrated our 6th year anniversary and we always play this song on our anniversary date. It’s been our song, since I was 17. I can’t wait to play this at our wedding next year, it’s like the lyrics perfectly describe us, how I feel about him and how he feels about me.
Hope it goes well
Truly amazing. I wish nothing but the absolute best for you guys.
Remember, it's hardwork being a good person doing what we are supposed to do. It's easy to be a coward piece of shit.
You made the right choice my friend.
Good luck! Hope everything goes well
So how did it go?
Basically my version was I went into it with every intention of pulling it off but then a million to one chance of something happening would happen every time after the second or third try failed and I woke up lying on the floor with the cord still wrapped around my neck the next day my friends whom I had forgotten about and I hadn't seen in years found me I was in a rush trying to clean everything up when they got through the front door and still had the noose on good thing to cause this year my wife that I had tried killing myself over losing ended up dying of cancer and I had to take over for her so she could finally rest. I told her what happened years later and she said it happened cause you're works not done yet you can't leave until it's finished that's the only words that carry me through alot of days now I went from being a mechanic to a welder to a stay at home dad of four 3 of which have autism so things pan out in ways you could never imagine I can't knock suicide cause I know what it means to be in such misery and constant pain that you can only sit and fantasize about which way would be the most effective way but you never have any way of telling what's around that next bend
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
This song gives me peace in my heart. It's so soothing for my heart, soul, and spirit. Takes me back in time to when I listened to Cage the elephant back when I was 15. This song hits me hard. Gives me all these feelings I can't explain. It's beautiful.
