I think their slower songs are great too, Flow is one of my all time favorite song by them, and this one is simply amazing. I also love the 'acoustic' version of Right Before My Eyes. I think they should do more stuff like this, besides the awesome rock <3
@AmonOfTheSahelijos well there were actualy two auditions since there was also acting in it. the first was singing, which i did get a callback for. But the second one for acting i screwed up on and not only that, i didn't even get ensaunble
when they played this live the entire crowd shifted from being a bunch of pushing and shoving pricks to one huge slow dancing blob. it was like being in 7th grade again.
I love CTE because the show that no matter where your from, what your backgroud is or what you did to get to where you are. You Can Make It. CTE for LIFE<3
@Xerxes2113 well 1. im humman and i spelled somthing its probly because im dislexic and struggle in that subject 2.arent you hating on a foolish comedic comment that honestly ment nothin3. i will say that you are correct when you say that everone has deffrent minds, like the 21 people that second my opinion im just enjoying my self I LOVE CAGE THE ELEPHANT so what it just happens that i dont like the sothing sonde of robots screwing eachother its dosent matter and i was refering to hardstyle dub
In a sad mood one day. Scrolling through websites trying to find something to do. Wondering if anybody cares what I'm doing or how I'm feeling. Tears ready to come pouring down my face. This song comes on in my playlist. Never payed much attention to it before. I stop and close my eyes. Smile. Realize what i have to do.
@RandomHero5677 hahaha when you said "cause that's not ignorant" you where being sarcastic. Could this be some type of dubble standord ps when some one calles someone or somthing ignorant they are fools them self.
I'm using this for a project, and it's my theme song.!!!! LOL!!!!!!!! I fell in love with this, when I went for a long walk today. It came on on my shuffle, and the leaves blew, and the amber dusk, mixed with the country road enclosed with trees, gave it the perfect atmosphere.
the simplicity of this amazing song makes me mad that i think i dont matter in life.then as i keep listening i start to realise how mellow we shoudl all just be.
God these guys are awesome. I've listened to this song on several different occasions and no matter what, I cry. It's on my "Heartbreakingly Beautiful" playlist.
To anyone reading this comment, Shake Me Down is a nomination for best Rock Video for the MTV Video Music Awards, please vote for these guys on MTV's website. These guys put their heart and soul into their music and deserve the award. So please make this message visible or at least spread the word. Let's make Cage the Elephant the next big band. Thanks :D
At LollaPalooza 2011 me and my Girlfriend went to go see them but unfortunately it started to rain. That didnt stop us. We danced in the rain to this song looking like idiots but we didnt care. I Love you Steph <3
Does anyone else hear an echo of 'Float On' by Modest Mouse in the guitar part and the melody of his singing? Modest Mouse is definitely a band to get some influences from. Rock on
I'm quite sure I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it. It ended, and I was almost in shock at the pure genius and beauty of it. CTE only got better.
Man, all I can say is thank you. I love cage the elephant soo much - i've never admired a band like Cage. I've always loved bands that died/wayy before my time, like The Ramones, Nirvana, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Pixies, the whole gang. But never an alive band.
Now, I can actually go to concerts and love the music in person. I can actually watch it be played and the band develop. .its amazing.
You guys are phenomenal. The messages you send, and everything!
i need intense rock music at this moment so im not gonna say anything rihgt now........cause it might be something like its awful...but thats prob not true since i love almost EVERY single song by cage the elephant!!!!!!!!
@2349Nicole what kind of rock is this considered? sorry i'm not a follower of any type of rock, but i like this type of music and i would like to listen to other songs like this.
Good band I hate it when somebody gets mad like the post below this one there freacken out cause some didn't like the band DONT FREACK OUT EVERY BODY HAS THERE OWN OPINION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
