Love the old stuff. Love the new stuff. Cool to see growth in an artist with such talent and not afraid to mix things up.

Easily my favorite album of the year, and one on my favorite songs on the album. I love that you can see he isn't taking himself too seriously in the video and is having fun with it. The album has an amazing dreamy ethereal feel to it which he really plays into at live shows. Not being afraid to experiment, and still making great music shows how truly talented he is as an artist.

I feel like Shakey is one of those artists who makes art for the art and not for an audience and I respect that so hard. You can like some of his material more than others if you so choose but you can’t tell this man he’s wrong for the art he chose to create. Keep doing you, Shakey. That’s how artists stay real.

I will listen to whatever Shakey puts out. The man is ridiculously talented. New, old, simple or fully produced. Keep up the awesome work

Lyrics: (by azlyrics) I'm too young to die Gonna live forever I just wanna talk tough, look mean Life is good at 17 One thing that I know is that You don't know a thing About me You were the young, dumb, chosen one Now you shake your head and say Kids these days Mirror, mirror, on the wall What's the meaning of it all? Wasted all the time Nothing lasts forever Maybe I should give up the good fight Change my image overnight One thing that I know is that You don't know a thing About me I am the young, dumb, chosen one Losing in the loveliest way Kids these days Mirror, mirror, on the wall What's the meaning of it all? Adolescent intuition Murder on the rise Make an easy million Blow it in a night Tell that I'm pretty Tell me that I'm nice I know you can see it in my eyes You can see it in my eyes You can see it in my eyes See it in my eyes Everybody tries Tries to be somebody To be somebody's wet dream, prom king Golden boy, new toy Mirror, mirror, on the wall What's the meaning of it all? Life is a honeymoon phase Kids these days Kids these days Kids these days

Still love my Shakey tattoo, his music is forever engraved in my heart.

Someone doesn't have to adhere to what is expected of them, experimenting is good! This new album is amazing if you let go of the your expectations for more traditional folky vibes (which I love too). I like new shakey, I like old shakey!

Ugh I love this so much

... damn - my son has to listen this - what an awesome take on the journey of those teenage years and that vulnerable invincibility

i just love loveee playing this cassette super loud and taking back roads, nothing else will give me chills as much as shakey’s music- new and old

Such a good song

I don't get how people always feel compelled to say what's right or wrong about artistic choices. You can't tell an artist what to do. You either appreciate it or go away. By the way I dig it! Beautiful work! I'm definitely gonna buy the album!

6 years ago he said he'd be changing up and had a lot in store to offer. I love him no matter what because he's a raw, honest to goodness artist.

I love Shakey. Screw those people who try to put him in a box.

To see where his sound started, to this is absolutely awesome.

Amazing. This whole album is great

I love this song. I heard it for the first time at my job in PUMA, i love when this song plays while I’m working 🤙

As a musician, it is difficult to stay in the "bubble" of a certain era of writing. I look back on stuff I wrote 2 years ago and see how things have changed since that time. I don't blame Shakey for doing different material, I hate the feeling of being musically stagnant.

I love it-

Love the hair Shakey!! :)

He's always amazing

hes a beast on his own without a doubt. but shakey shines no matter what. his great songwriting shines when more musicians are involved.

i love it!

I love both the old and new music. I love the message of this song, and it still has Shakey's fun, lively, authentic spirit that you see in interviews with him.

TLDR: LOVE IT, MOAR NOW! Listening to SG for 5 years, it's turned into an adventure hearing him evolve. The entire album is great, love to hear more new and experimental songs and see more music videos as and even more artistically expressive!

Shakey tu é foda com e sem sua banda! Continue com o belo trabalho

this is the best song i have heard in a while honestly

I don’t understand how this doesn’t have that much views

Shakey, you are brilliant dude, for sure it it's, what a song!!!!!

not sure why this song or album isn’t getting love? this is the first song i’ve heard of his and i love the sound, listened to the entire album recently and now i’m hooked

Great song!!!!

Wish we could have Shakey back in the studio, but will take seeing him live tomorrow as a consolation!

This song is freaking awesome.

Yesssss Shakey yesssss ♥️♥️♥️

i love him and this video

I loved shakey graves for his portrayal of folk and blues. This, less then expected.

Shakey is the coolest dude alive

Cant wake up is one of the best albums I have ever listened to, i love his style right now. Cant wait for more music. Great music video too

I have to comment on this thread...This is genius. Alejandro is a story teller. This song and video makes you think. (I wont try and write a study guide here..). If you listen to the lyrics and think about the message in the video this guy is not taking himself too seriously and having a blast whilst not doing so! That said, he would be perfectly entitled to perform in this way, wear that wig and take himself seriously. How many untalented fake icons are there being adored right now for doing exactly that? I have seen the band live in Europe many times- they are so talented and genuine yet humble. So far the set has always included an acoustic part as well as the whole band. Listen to his albums, of course his acoustic set differs to them, he is an authentic performer, you wont find him reproducing carbon copies of album tracks. Do not miss a chance to see this man sing based on a knee jerk reaction to this video. Alejandro is being true to himself. This is the beginning.........

love this song, love the album, love the video.

Highland park vibes Home town 🤍

Yes yes YES

this video is brilliant

Met him at a whole in the wall thai food place in Seattle. Super nice dude. Loved his music for a few years now. Was so weird just running into him like that!

My 2020 song. Thats it had a lot of tracks but this is just the perfect vibe

I have non stopped playing this since the day it uploaded an I cannot get enough of it!! I love you as an artist not as a genre you make music I will love it whatever direction you want to go I will happily follow keep it up shakey

Love Shakey anyway! The song has a message, most of you aren't getting it. Old stuff new stuff this soul has talent. ❤️

Holy moley. I love every music video that Shakey has put out. This man is a true talent.

No esperaba esto....y sin embargo me encanta esta canción. Me.encanta Shakey, siempre¡

I dig it.

Has a Shins vibe to it. Great album!

never thought i'd see soundcloud shakey graves

I'm late. My new fav song rn!

He didn't "well" once. What's happening to him

Boy precious ^_^

all of the negative comments saying they hate the change in sound clearly haven't listened to the whole album or watched any interviews.... the artist is mixing things up a bit, and he has a right to artistic freedom. I think he has done a wonderful job at keeping spirits high in his music. Music shouldn't be about what others want, but the expression of the artists and having good times. Wonderful job! (i love all of the metaphors in the music video, great stuff)

Lol, when you learn Shakey was in spy kids and your like... whaaaat but also like I don't care I'm in love with him.....

One of my favorite songs on the new album. Sure it's very much a different sound than classic Shakey Graves, but as an artist and a human being he's going to experiment and evolve. I love his earlier style, but this concept album is very good in it's own right. Tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 are particularly excellent imo. As for the video him and the band are just having fun, i can appreciate it as i grew up in the late 70's and 80's.

God! I love this man so much!!!!!

Thank you for coming to Tucson! You guys put on an amazing show. Great music. Great audience interaction. Great props. Loved the red suits and the nostalgic, Western, vintage vibe. I'd love to see a video in that same style. Cheers, -Jared

Man i love shakey but i gotta be honest when i say that he's so great when he's by himself. When its overly produced and he's in a band it drowns out all the nuances-quirkiness-subtle-finger picking skills he has. Bare bones shakey, with a suitcase drum kit and a guitar is when he shines brightest the most. When he involves a band his songs convert to just regular run of the mill music.

Shakey Graves is the best kept secret in songwriting of this generation. Chad Vangaalen is too

I love how Shakey does not take himself so seriously!!! You can tell the band has a great relationship. Love it!

As an artist he is doing his job! MAKING PEOPLE THINK and react...........!

bro that crescendo around 2:08 is orgasmic

Sh#t did shakey just go pop

That perm is hawt

Shakey's still Shakey man. This is great

Its always important to make a song that your fans might not like because then it weeds out the losers and lets you keep the real supporters

I'm proud of how far he's come! I first saw him live at a little dive bar (it was fairly empty) back in 2011 and paid $5 for my ticket. I've been to nearly 10 of his shows since then. It's been fun watching him evolve. But nothing will beat seeing him perform solo with his yellow kick drum at that little bar for the first time. I'd take that any day over his now huge, sold out, shows. I must say, I don't love this. It's not that unique sound I love from him. It won't be on repeat for me. But, I sure am happy for Ale's success!

Hair metal Shakey is the best parody I think ive ever seen xD

GULLLDANG... nothing better! Shakey Graves ... almost 2 years of listening... has to be other people out there..making this most best band ever... step up ya'll.... im moving to Texas fuhk it ;) with band ..without band and one man owning it .. I do NOT CARE lol... #shakeyssouls for life 🐢

I love his style, the acoustic accompanied by only a foot pedal drum and tambourine, and obviously this is different, but this is the kinda sound that will get him on the radio :) as much as we all love his indie style, and us fucking hipsters don't want his sound to change and go all mainstream, we can all admit we love this guy and want him to succeed. We love you Shakey :)

that H A I R L I N E

This is everything. And just in time for summer :))

Then, suddenly at 3:12, Jack Nicholson.

Friggin amazballs

I love how weird Shakey gets. Those early Bandcamp albums would get so strange

this is truth

1:57 is my favorite part

love Shakey and he is much, much better than 80% of mainstream $hit)

This made me laugh, looked like a blast to film

Awesome video! I can't wait to see Shakey in Pittsburgh this September!

Loved this

It's not just pop rock, it's a deconstruction, it also gives my ears blue balls.

I love this, he has a way more versatile sound now

Proud of you Shakey!

Shakey wants to change it up... that's fine. I guess I will just listen to Roll the Bones 50 more times.

Congrats- New album is stellar!

Lil bit of a milky chance vibe? Love it shakey

Get an Mgmt/ empire of the sun vibe, love it!!

Which model of danelectro guitar is he playing in this?

Well that was the coolest music video I've ever seen!

So are they arcade fire now?

ol shakey got himself one of those funny vids. well deserved!

Went to high school with Ali aka shakey. He tried out for our pop punk band and we told him no he was too bluesy for us lol crazy he’s huge now. Good to see him doin it. Gary Clark Jr also went to school with us

This video is hilarious, cool new sound. I can't wait to see you in Boston!! P.S. please play dearly departed hehe :)

Pretty good song. His style is evolving.

That herkie was hella impressive. How many times did it take you to catch that mic tho? Lulz
