  • I've always wished this song was longer. It's so powerful all throughout that short 1:50

  • i only leave when the fat lady sings...lol really great song

  • it's like a crazy metaphor about my life. or just a really good song. either way...

  • 2 deep 4 u

  • The cake is a lie, but in this case, I'll let it pass.

  • I can effectively say that 1000 of the views were mine.

  • This is so gonna play at my funneral. also on my ipod while i murder zombies

  • Life is like a box of cake

  • it's depressing because it's true:) and it's got a happy tune while still making you sad:)

  • the banjo is epic :D

  • bows 2 Swordmaster10 (cakemaster) thank u for all the vids, u the man and cake is the band

  • This song is intrinsically and timelessly good.

  • @Schwartzhund indeed brother

  • @Swordmaster10 Thank you for my daily serving of cake Swordmaster, thank you.

  • it's unbelievable what they can do in only 1:50

  • Life...pretty much explained in this song.

  • i am happy this band aren't too famous...one of music's best kept secrets. saying that, they were on the apple advert but oh well

  • @mrsalbinorhino ~15 y/o hipster identified in sector 5.

  • @reidenfire no dude. sometimes when bands get really famous they lose their touch.

  • Cake is delisous in more wasys than one eh?

  • I love cake. They have a sound that's all their own.

  • Everyone always says 'simple', but I'd like to see them play the guitar part. It's not all that simple, really.

  • @JoeDeceiver i think its a banjo... but i know, thats beside the point, either way your right

  • @1Mrguitarman7 Mmm, probably is. I have seen them play it live with guitars.

  • @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:)

  • LOL @ "Your knife will fall out of it's sheath"

    Clearly someone needs viagra.

  • Probably my favorite song by them.

  • When I first started listening to this, I didn't think I would play it a second time. I was wrong.

  • @CannedSausages me too...

  • I think the instrument at :59 is an accordeon

  • 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

  • what's the instrument that comes in at :59?

    and if i'm not mistaken he's using a banjo jes?

    :B

  • I used to listen to cake a lot.

  • Same here. And, am now rediscovering them again.

  • its true

  • 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.

  • I love your comments so much.

  • @aqua1993 Yeah, but that was 2 weeks ago. Now all I wanna do is quit everything I was trying...

  • @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.

  • well, thx for the kind advice.

  • @gotenks1114 Agreed...It's not really depressing, it's just true.

  • @gotenks1114 b/c I just made you up to hurt myself

    Yeah, and I just made you up to hurt myself

    And it worked

    Yes it did!

    ... b/c we hate.. we are sad.. but we are not weak.. it is a very depressing song for us.

  • @gotenks1114 it's an anti suicide song isn't it. so it's more heart warming than depressing.

  • @gotenks1114  ... and then dies horribly.

  • @gotenks1114 but it is! that's the part of the movie that makes me cry! lol

  • 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 : )

  • See I'm the exact opposite. I love this song because my diligence is my pride.

  • 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

  • thats what I LOVE about it.. Its cute and depressing at the same time. Fuckin Cake rox my sox.

  • how is this the best song ever? isnt it kind of glum?

  • it's the best song ever because it's catchy and brutally honest!

    it manages to keep cheery but the lyrics are just raw and true

  • I love this it I do.

  • terrific

  • the best song ever
