@JoeDeceiver It's simple in a good way. The song is so short, so ...empty of unnecessary sound (if you get what i mean), and so simply sung and written. But oh-so amazing:)
The instrument being used at :59 is a melodica, which is similar to an accordian, but usually a much higher pitch. The key difference is that the player blows into the melodica themself, rather than stretching out the accordian for air
Why is everyone saying this song's depressing? That's like saying it's depressing if a football player gets injured but then gets back up and keeps playing.
the thing about this song is that you don't "know" how it's gonna end so you stay till the end of the "movie" (metaphor!! Yay!) even though, most likely, you actually do know how it's gonna end, but you still hope...
@aqua1993 For what? Where is the hope after all? Every time we fall we have to get back up and fall again, I accepted that. But falling as I was down simply killed every good hope I had of life.
i'm not sure, that's why i'm waiting till the end of the movie. all i can tell you is that it seems that you still have hope, otherwise you wouldn't be asking me this.
@FelipeC19 honestly, i can't tell you anything in good consience, i don't know you, you don't know me, you could be a person getting a thrill from people giving you sincerity only to demolish, i might be a person getting a thrill from giving insincerity, the thing is that i don't know, we're all watching the same movie from different perspectives, maybe you need to take a look at yours, and also, you still posting even after 2 weeks, means that you still have hope in something, use it.
i love this song, everytime in my life i have stumbled across this song i feel like i am not so...i dunno.. alone? if there is someone elso who felt the same and there ok i can be to right?
I LOVE this song. Cake always loved the idea that the most powerful emotions are sometimes conveyed through the most simple songs, and this is the quintessential example.
i like this song...but it's hard to listen to it because it feels like it slams the truth in my face that i don't want to hear....it is quite glum. but then you can just listen to the other cake songs to make you feel better : )
man... this totally relates to my life right now... cake has been able to relate to my life at every point of it with one song or another lol they're just freakin sweet
I've always wished this song was longer. It's so powerful all throughout that short 1:50
