Cage the Elephant- Right Before My Eyes (Lyrics)

[BIGxBOSSxx1]

Why is this shit higher pitched then the original.

Why the fuck would you do that?

[Nummyful52]

They kind of remind me of Velvet Underground, but with a more modern "spin"

[olivia1910]

hahaha, I've been listening to this song for so long and never noticed I was only listening to the acoustic version, just discovered this :p I think I prefer the acoustic one. But who cares they're both so amazing

[LevineProject05]

@fistfaceproductions

lmao you are an idiot aren't you. Well I have to go to practice but what I am saying is that KoalaHippies did not say that their songs were about drugs/sex/etc. He was actually agreeing with you. Reread what he wrote

[LevineProject05]

@fistfaceproductions

You're an idiot. KoalaHippie said their songs aren't about sex and drugs. Read before you criticize

[Deadkittens420]

Dear Mr. President. 0:00.

Sincerely,

The American People.

[ChannelFamilys]

Omg 187 again is that number following any 1 else

[linkplaya]

WARNING: Attention seeking whoreish shit is about to ensue.

I was listening to this when my girlfriend broke up with me, you'd figure I'd feel bad listening to it but it actually holds a serene comfort. =) I don't see how you can't love Cage the Elephant.

[Th3Guy1nTh3Att1c]

Don't know why, but I love listening to this song while playing Dark Souls...

[ebisN64]

I saw them live!!!! (:

[pickleweazle141]

i think the acoustic version is better.

[dzgeneration]

@pickleweazle141 shiver... i dont know... theyre both amazing but i have to say this is better....

[ihazcheese]

@pickleweazle141 I like them both but i have to say the acoustic is a bit better :)

[MultiRocketeer]

i had lucky to find this great band

[StueyTheDuck]

i never heard of these guys until i saw it on a waterloo road in the description

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

Well now I wanna listen to around my head .

[fossilbox1991]

i bet this is the next single

[ThatOneMusicGuy789]

Ugh, I tried playing this on guitar only to realize they slowed this track down... lol

[rman2590]

@ThatOneMusicGuy789 the version of this in flow might be easier then since it is slower

[ThatOneMusicGuy789]

@rman2590 No, what I'm saying is when they originally recorded this, they played it faster. Then they physically slowed down the recording so now it's this weird micro-tuning between E and Eb.

[BAD1994life]

My friend just said this sounded like it could have been written by The Beatles, Cage the Elephant is in good company then ;)

[KoalaHippie]

Such a great band!!!! One of the best. I love how their songs aren't all about sex and drugs xD

[LanaAndHearts14]

@KoalaHippie Amen ! O:

[SumoBasumatary]

This album should be named one of the best albums of the year!

[absolutlybeastable]

i dont know what song you guys are listening to but every me every you and this song, the vocals are not as alike as you say they are.

[SAPPYCAGED]

watch?v=PRkFs8Tykfs

Rare cage the elephant dr dr dr verson

[GoofyCams]

2:56 ha!

[magivallslopez]

Finnaly a fucking band of crazy guys who know what they do.

I've been waiting a long time.

[FalloutBadger]

Their best song yet, love it.

[CodeMonkeyZzX]

this is half a step up or something, cause mine is lower, and so are half the other recordings you can find on youtube, so idk whats with this video

[Doobysnacker100]

Fan since 2007

[jrdominy]

This is amazing! Def one of the best bands out there right now and they only keep getting better

[pontinius]

Am I the only one who listens to this and thinks.... The Pixies?

Definitely dig the reminiscent tones, the Pixies are one of my favorite bands.

[SprFabHair44]

@pontinius dude that exactly what i thought!

[pontinius]

@SprFabHair44 Yeah Dude, look up a song called every me every you by Placebo. That's like an exact vocal match to this song as well

[SprFabHair44]

@pontinius Oh my gosh i love that song! I never realized but you're right

[HeyPhantom4]

@pontinius I dont know what you mean by vocal match but the singer from placebo sounds nothing like matt shultz

[pontinius]

@HeyPhantom4 in general, he doesn't. And especially not compared to the first album either.. But it is apparent to me after having thoroughly listened to the second album that CTE has no particular sound. They bounce from style to style so schizophrenically, its hard to even determine who they sound like and who they dont.

[pontinius]

@HeyPhantom4 But I don't feel like its a stretch at all to say that THIS song is VERY similar to "Every you, Every me" by Placebo.. much like some of the other songs on this album are reminiscent of modest mouse, pavement, and the pixies.

[AshleyLovesGreysonC]

proud to say I'm from where this men are from. Bowling Green, Kentucky. BEST BAND EVER! <3

[jojoyoyo2222]

Song to my life <3 Music doesnt get much better then this.. (:

[dupersloby]

Foster the Elephant and Cage the People

NEW WORLD ORDER!!!!!!

[CelticKnight9]

Dear Future-Self,  0:00

Sincerely,

Past-Self

[SodiumNitrateBot]

Is there a post of the slower, calmer version found on the album after Flow?

[VeryArousable]

@SodiumNitrateBot Just search "Right Before My Eyes acoustic" and you'll see it.

[adammattosify]

Where are they going with their music. Ain't no rest for the wicked was my favorite song but this is ok.

[Abercrombieand1Bitch]

IMO the only good song on the album.

Debut was MUCH better.

[HUkram1025]

they changed their style so much from aint no rest for the wicked to this album but damn its still good

[fossilbox1991]

this will probably be the next single

[TheLigitGamerrrrr]

my band is redowing this song!

[lessthanjamie]

4 dislikes? there really is always something

[TheRevivedCommunity]

Why do people always find something to comlain about? The album honestly isn't that bad. And honestly, the way I see it, this is as good as it's going to get.

[mmtna]

THIS SONG IS SO RELEVANT  along with indy kidz,shake me down and sell yourself

[GOlongboard66]

squirrel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Slowpokekitty]

"/Golden needles/ names we take in vein?" I thought it was "/Gonna need those/ names we take in vain." Really, look at the description and tell me if I'm wrong. o.o

[haydugjr392]

@Slowpokekitty It's golden needles, it's a thing about drugs. Just go listen to Dr. Dr. Dr.

[rhcpfanbp93]

Thumbs up if they remind you of the pixies

[megalomike113]

best song on an otherwise disappointing album

[xGwKz]

@megalomike113 Thank you happy birthday IS SICK

[igrungeisded]

@megalomike113 It was inferior to their first one, sure. But it does have a collection of good songs, such as this one, Aberdeen, and Shake me Down.

[MCRlyrics11]

People need to stop comparing Matt to god, I mean he's good and all but he's no Matthew. :)

[reallyhealee1514]

this band is growing on me!

[CGImii]

"golden needles" lyric is ncorrect...should read "gonna need" those names we take n vain as n God/Jesus when the whole world loses control

[danielaformoso]

<3

[snowboarding11demon]

wait is foster in this or something ? cuz -points to top comment- i'm confused y they r mentioned

[NINJAMUFFINHARTSU]

@snowboarding11demon No , i think he just ment that he also loves Foster the People, along with Cage the Elephant .. like me lol (:

[eztsweitzer12]

@snowboarding11demon no, the top comment is just stating that cage and foster are AMAZINGLY WICKED bands. <3

[dzgeneration]

when youre high this is 10 times better.... its amazing when youre sober too though

[GracieinYoFacieTV]

Music is my drug.

YouTube is my dealer.

Vevo are the police.

Justin Bieber is the placebo.

We won't be fooled.

[drnoahpepper]

nice try justin beiber



[mcgovern210]

I like the acoustic more, no homo.

[americanmouth15]

There songs and songs lyrics are GENIUS!!!!

[parkourz0]

i'll say it. the four dislikes come from people that genuinely think ke$ha is talented

[iknowhuh5]

i love this song...so much<3:') i love this band.

[chuggernot]

i like how some of their songs are really chill and others are really like... rockn, yknow what i mean?

[xydezso]

[xInspireEnvyx]

[Nuggetnomer]

[420Guitar420]

I'm watching No Reservations while listening to Cage the Elephant and drinking hot cocoa. Does life get any better?

[TheRevivedCommunity]

@420Guitar420 Only when their next album comes out

[xInspireEnvyx]

i adore this album. every song is so great- love the sound/feel.

Cage the Elephant <3

[songsurgeon]

Bit of a departure from what I have heard so far from the latest LP. Pretty smooth stuff.

[vidsbymari]

I LOVE THIS SONG! :)

[kikitikiboom]

<3

[ummagumma024]

[magicjj7]

[TheQuinnFTW]

4 people are just straight up idiots

[WhatchaWantFilms]

@TheQuinnFTW yea they dont know what good music is

[iTzCanadianEh]

@dycusd its a single

[animebaka129]

@dycusd no the best song from Thank You Happy Birthday would have to be sell yourself or around my head. i love the kazoo from the intro of around my head.

[Mrrossthaboss2000]

@dycusd the whole album is amazing

[hellfirdragon17]

@dycusd

I got here from hearing it on the radio.

[EGP493]

@dycusd look deeper into Shake Me Down's lyrics you close minded fool! look deeper than just lyrics, hell and if you have to (because your stupid) watch the video. then judge the song.

[moondra10]

@EGP493 What did he do? o_o

[EGP493]

@moondra10 ehh it just gets on my nerves how these idiots "think" they know what music is and have absolutely no clue. then post their retarded comments as if they know what they're talking about. ignorance is bliss eh? -__-

[moondra10]

@EGP493 Ah,it is a little hard for me to understand because I'm only 12,but I absolutely love Cage the Elephant,they are my favorite band.They grew up near where I live in Kentucky,USA.Also,I have the same name as their drummer,Jared. :]

[shadow777440]

I saw this whole youtube conversation about genre lose control...right before my eyes

[abcd1234781]

kinda like the acoustic slowed down version more

[Ktingles6]

i like the version on "flow" better, but i fuckn love this song and this band! Cage the Elephant is goin places and i cant wait!

[TheTone714]

Who gives a fuck what you want to label them. Sound like a bunch of fucking idiots. Stop analyzing and enjoy it or don't. Just stop trying to look like some kind of music overlord on Youtube.

[americanmouth15]

<3<3,<3<3

[CosmicNat]
