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.

Still can’t believe this is the same band that sang ain’t no rest for the wicked

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.

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.

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.

Cage The Elephant will one day be that “old” band my future kids demand me to stop constantly playing everyday

When you're Spider-Man riding your bike through your old neighborhood with your childhood best friend and the wave of nostalgia hits.

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

It feels like we're all friends here.

This song means a lot to me because 12 years ago I went to the gas station for a snickers and the clerk told me they were all out.

70 years old and I listen to Cage The Elephant. Music transcends.

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 ❤

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

Depression is a hell of a drug

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! ❤️

the absolute whiplash i got when this song played in spider-man 2, felt like i was reminiscing on simpler times with them

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?

holy fuck this song makes me want to rip my heart out

"this was our dream Pete, we're gonna heal the world"

Absolutely love that they put this song in the new Spider-Man 2 game, it fits the moment so perfectly

Cage The Elephant is criminally underrated. They have so many bangers.

Best 4 am music ever

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.

My ex-boyfriend passed away in a car accident a couple of days ago he died in such a crucial way. :( He loved this song we would always play it together it literally hurts to listen to it and it gives me a lump in my throat. This song and the rain is just making me feel like he's with me. Such an amazing song. We ended off on such bad terms. There are just so many things I wish I could've said and done differently but now it's too late. Appreciate your loved ones and make things right because the regret and guilt will eat you up alive if you don't.

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

My girlfriend said that this song gives her a feeling that she can’t explain, and cries every time she hears it

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!!

I can't put in words the weight that this song has in my life.

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...

may 2024 anyone?

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

The "You were only 17" line hits me EVERY time. So many bad things happened that year, but also so many great things. My fav song of all time.

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

April 2024 and this song always make sense

I just lost a friend to suicide last week. This song reminded me of her. I hope she found the peace and answers she searched for.

I wish the beginning piano that was in the music video part was included in the real song. I really love this song though. Made me cry at times

I've listened to this an unhealthy amount of times

I don't know why , but this song make me think about the perks of being a wallflower

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.

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

This is one of those songs about 20 years from now that'll give goosebumps of nostalgia

I love this song and I swear it made me want to cry when it played in Spider-Man 2. ❤😢

my brother died June 15th 2015 this was one his of his favorite songs. He was a wonderful young man and this was on of his favorite songs

There’s just something about being 17. Something devastating, and something detaching that this song brings to light.

Insomniac choosed the perfect song.

I miss the old days 😢😢😫😫

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.

please stop. this song is too beautiful fuck

Played this at my school dance and the crowd went wild and sang every lyric

This song hits deep after all these years. A masterpiece.

Everyone’s got all these deep stories and I’m just here because it was in my recommendations

Did you stand there all alone? Oh I cannot explain what's going down I can see you standing 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 Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer Funny how it seems like yesterday As I recall you were looking 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 So sweet with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees Do do do do do do You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain 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 Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we can find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you can find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain

I miss you Raymond. I wish you were here.... it's been almost 3 yrs my brother passed away... I'd give anything to have him here. If God said it would cost my life, I would do it in a heart beat just to see him one last time. This season is always hard... sorry for the rant. I really miss my big brother.

We making it out of Queens with this one!

“Cigarette daydream You were only seventeen So sweet with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees”

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 lost a friend who was 17 in a car accident. This music allows me to never forget it, thank you

This song gave my hurt heart & my broken mind so much peace. It feels like i have a different, silent, happy life with no pain. I'm so thankful for this band. Saved my life more than once ❤

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.

listening to this again with 15 minutes till i turn 18, it’s been one hell of a ride.

If anyone listening to it at oct-2023 ....pls like here so that I can notify it n come back listen to it again n again

For the last few weeks Iv been having a real rough time dealing with the problems in my life . Questioning my thoughts, decisions and life , but then this sing came on as I'm standing in the shower and after the first chorus all the fog and negatively fadded away . I could see through all the bad thoughts and problems iv been struggling to deal with . Iv never cried so happily before.

Songs like this: riptide, sedona, ophelia... I'm looking for more

I fell in love with a girl and seeing her slowly fall out of love is the most painful feeling in the world. Edit: she fell out of love with me and refuses to talk me and now my life feels void less I have lost the love of my life and best friend in one. Edit:This might be the lamest thing I have ever said I can’t believe I felt this way at some point

Dayum guys were not getting any younger :l cherish the moments and memories cause thats all we really have here!

I come again. And I miss my passed away parents and my passed away brother. I miss my old life that not so complicated. I miss my childhood that not so hard to breath like now. I miss my old little me. I don't know why, but today I listen this song again. After these two days, just play only this one song. 😷

growing up with these guys was so weird. like..they were nobody and now their stuff has more upvotes than the entire population of the city we grew up in. it's crazy

I've had rainy nights where I drive around just thinking about my life. It's a thing.

Thank you Spider-Man 2 for introducing me to 3 spectacular songs!!

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.

This song reminds me of the memories I don’t have

Some of the nicest comments I've ever seen good night guys

Anyone 2024?

Listening to this after Hurricane Ian my town was destroyed and many are left homeless I’m 17 and my life will never be the same, my beach is gone, everything everywhere I made memories is is lost I will never get that Monday back where everything was normal, now it’s Thursday and my life is changed forever pray for Florida and the lives that were lost and the piece of my childhood Ian took with it 10/1/22

0:00 start :)

Now this is even more sad because Matt and his wife divorced

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.

Was this the song for the bike ride

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.

reminder to listen to this on your 17 birthday

Sometimes the video means more than the song

Can’t listen to this in the car cause I end up staring at nothing and thinking about my life instead of driving

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.

cage the elephant definitive proof not all new music is shit.

I was 15 when I discovered this song And i fell in love with it instantly… Last month I turned 17 I’ve never been more scared to be 17 Something about being “17” is magical yet scary at the same time It’s the end of teenage hood which is the hardest part of life You got to experience many things and enjoy without caring , doing stupid shit with your group of friends and smoking And trying to find the answers for “who you really are” In teenage hood , you want nothing more than proving yourself and knowing more about yourself Being 17 is like the bridge between the adults life and the teenage life You’ll be afraid to make the first step on that bridge thinking you still don’t know how to be grown up But you’ll manage to succeed.. Because that’s life.. Im 17 and i always feel lost.. Idk what to do but i know I’ll get through it 17 is magical and can be scary too But you’ll never forget those memories that you made as a 17 years old..

This song is odd. It makes you look at your past differently. It’s strange, and that’s what makes it such a masterpiece.

i think that this video was about a woman, killing her old self, which was represented by the girl in the trunk. She had a past of maybe sexual harassment, hard childhood memories. She set all of that ablaze when she burned her car. She was finally relieved from all the weight on her shoulders. She felt free. So she was able to dance again. And stop running.

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.

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.

The fact that they divorced makes it so much sadder

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...

I had the opportunity to meet one of the band members and he’s a really cool down to earth guy and when I was talking to him I asked the name of his band I looked it up and excepted some heavy metal music but once I heard this song I instantly became a fan. Definitely an under rated band in America!!

The new Spider-Man 2 game brought me back here when you bike with Harry back to your old highschool in the beginning the instrumental is playing. Such a cool moment

I hope no KZfaqr comes around and ruins this song. Let this song just be for us

how are Caged Elephants so unpopular!!! its like the best music ever

This was me and my first Love’s song. There is nothing that compares to the love and anguish we both experienced, our love grew stronger when her parents ended our relationship. About a half a year has gone by and it still seems i’ll never get over her. Every single day i battle with the thought that maybe we just weren’t meant to be, or maybe I just love her too much to ever let her go. Maybe time will tell. Maybe i’ll die before we ever see each other again, maybe we’ll end up together and tell our kids about the hardships we faced. I’ve thought about you nonstop even in my toughest times. I just don’t get it. how does one go on with life knowing this kind of love is out there for me. How do i supply someone with the love that you deserve, yet sadly got stripped away from. i just don’t get it

THEY PUT THIS SONG IN SPIDERMAN 2 (PS5) I'M SO HAPPY WOWOWOW

Cant stop listening to this song

Who else is taking this bop with them into the new decade?:)

Hearing this song in Spider-Man 2 made really got to me. I have such a love hate relation with this lol
