Music is one of those things that when you learn to be patient with it, practice, then it is something that helps through dark times, encourages happy times, and calms nerves. It stays, truly.
TheMillenniumEnforcer thinking about this musically, a dumpsters small, enclosed but reflective upon waves, it would probobly sound amazing in a dumpster
***** lol its because an empty bathroom has the most reverb. Bathrooms are known for great reverb bc of the ceramic and hard surfaces. The more bodies, furniture etc. the more sound is absorbed and less reflection effect occurs. That is what they are getting at...
Oh yeah, but that's usually by design A studio will want to have the sound neutral and then add the effects after recording. But sometimes people still go to cool locations and record there
yeah but you wouldn’t want everything to echo which is why recording studios are the exact opposite and if they’re really fancy they’ll have a room dedicated to reverb
At first I thought it was another one of those (like “this and this song playing in an empty bathroom at a party”)randomly specific edits But turns out it’s just a cool video
One day in college, I was studying in the library with one of my classmates. I passed him my headphones and played this song. That was the moment that our relationship became a little personal... we just got married in June!
We caught Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz warming up for a performance. Watch this impromptu acoustic version of "Cigarette Daydreams," sung in the bathroom of his dressing room.
***** The fact he is up against the bathroom wall and bobbing his neck up and down while strumming his pelvis... as the camera peeks around tile corners and above bathroom stalls points to...
Dude in stall next to Matt: "Can you pass some tp, i'm all out here?" Matt: "ok, no problem, wait second while I get my guitar" Dude: "wait what, no bro, I just need-" Matt: "Did you stand there all alone? Oh I cannot explain whats going down...." Dude: "oh buddy, you don't wanna know what's going down."
This song is so emotionally painful for me to listen to and I have no clue why. For some reason it just stings very sharply and I think that it’s a beautiful but strange occurrence
I can relate. For me this song hurts because it makes me think about the "good times", or at least the times when I used to know who I was. It makes me think about long lost relationships, love, people I'm no longer friends with. It's like this song verifies the thought I've had for a long time; My journey to find purpose in life is all in vain, all I can do is move forward. I can try to look for the answers in a pouring rain, but the fact is that there just isn't one. Pain is a part of being human. The past is never coming back and that makes me feel lost, like I took a wrong turn years ago.. And can't find my way back home.
like yess but the thing is that I've never lost a love or something but I just feel the song and have no idea why it happens all CTE"s songs hit like that

Also, impromptu means being done without being planned.
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 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 Soft speak with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees 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 could find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you could find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain
I remember leaving the main fest area of bonnaroo in 2018, bummed I left early, taking a sad shit in a portapotty, to hear Matt himself performing this song right outside of the portapotty area. Thank god I was the first person to see if before the crowd drew in, was a very beautiful and surreal experience.
Not too many artists sound this good these days with a shit ton of effects and a studio behind them. This is talent at its purest and raw form. He sounds amazing
Yeah that's the funny thing about a lot of music, especially most commonly rock, you don't have to have an exceptional voice, it's mostly about finding a style for what you've got. Not saying everyone can sing, but you don't have to sound like Freddy Mercury to be a singer. That's what I think anyways
It's all a matter of making it work for your music. Matt makes it work for Cage the Elepehant, like Jack White Made it work for The White Stripes e.t.c it's more about finding your common ground, just a little practice
2 years ago I was in Bowling Green Kentucky leaving the bar Hilligan's and there was no one in site and out of NOWHERE... This mother F'er comes walking at me all alone in nothing but a pair of blue overalls wearing an old timey train conductors hat.. blew my mind. Guy was so chill and gives ZERO fucks. I've met him twice before that, but that one stuck with me lol. Fricken legend.
Learned how to play this song on the guitar... something I didn’t even think I’d ever pick up but I have to say it almost brings a tear to my eye to play when I get into it. I know that for life one of the best memories I’ll have is sitting out front of my house with my Gretsch and a girl I love or maybe in the future just loved, but I played, she sang, I sang too but she stole the show. So many late nights and so many mental red lights are associated with this song that it’s like taking an emotional pill every time I really take a minute to listen. Heartbreaking but so beautiful- some people say that music is just music but music like this is something’s changed my life.
Matthew Sudiyono Matt Shultz has a better singing range, and I like his music a lot better. Nirvana songs always seemed really lazily written to me and frankly Kurt can't really sing, which is about what most people should expect from a heroin addict. That being said, I did like the song 'About a Girl', but overall I've never understood what people see in Cobain.
well you're not wrong about the singing range. but the thing with cobain is his impact on the world. He was revolutionary in grunge music and the perspective of the world. and the fact that you like his musci better is of course opinion i respect that. but cobain is legendary as an artist.
From a proffessional singer, the three best places ever to sing are: The school bathroom The stairwell The shower Bonus: a literal opera house bc that place was BUILT for people not to have microphones (you never have mics in opera)
This song is such a big highlight of 2014 for me... I can’t explain it. Every time I hear this song and Telescope it always takes me back to that time. Feels magical.
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
Every one of the top like 15 comments is some cheesy joke. Yet I'm just in awe watching this based off the sheer emotion in this performance. He turns progressively more red as the song goes on. An incredible amount of passion went into writing this song.
The guy on the toilet is like " Doodoodoodoodoodoo"
lol
Literally...
Fucking dead gave me a completely different experience
Lol😂
HAHAHAHAHA
I hate when I'm taking a shit and Matt Shultz sings cigarette daydreams
Of course
+Alondra Luna "Fucking DAMMIT, Matt! STFU! I cant go with you singing!" LOL
MusicFish217 lol yes
+Alondra Luna The end of the video should have just been a voice coming from the stall "I'm out of toilet paper..."
me too
five years later and this song is just as good as it was when it came out
Yup, I seen the 2014 tag. Time flies
Melophobia is just a great album. Perfect for long drives at night.
Is this guy on drugs ? He looks like it
Well duh, you thought that this song's lyrics or cords would change after some years...
Gaoddamit Mei some songs age worse over time, but this one, after 5 years is a masterpiece
When you tryna take a dump peacefully and some guy starts screaming about cigarettes
Gosh i hate when that happens
LMAOOO
🤣🤣🤣🤣
this comment is god tier shit
Lol
is no one going to address the elephant in the bathroom?
+Segonax i try i try :)
Someone needs to get it back in its CAGE.
LOOL
007 *clap clap clap*
007 BUAHAHAHA
Imagine trying to take a shit and u just hear Matt performing a mini concert
I’d be on the shitter for hours
i would just keel ordering door dash so i wouldnt have to leave.
That’d be the best shit of all the shits
Best day ever however im a female so a little weirded out
Me walking out of the stall amazed by wtf just happened LMAO
"No time at all, I followed you into the stall."
Lol
Haha no time because poop and stall because also poop
It’s hall not stall
Fernando R That’s the point.
Good play on words haha
*nice wholesome video
everyone in the comments: imAGINe sHITiNG IN tHE stALL ANd ThereS A MINI coNERt happEning
Lmao Ikr?!!
Dude yes! I never checked the comments every time I returned to this video and everyone is like "imagine if the bathroom wasn't empty".
Truly amazing how passionate he is about his music.
@Tennesseebushcraft tell that to Dr. Disrespect 🤣🤣
Music is one of those things that when you learn to be patient with it, practice, then it is something that helps through dark times, encourages happy times, and calms nerves. It stays, truly.
yeah and 17 year olds lmao
All he has
@@evelynmockridge3337 wait what??
Acoustics are surprisingly good in there, then again, he could be playing in a dumpster and it would still sound fantastic.
TheMillenniumEnforcer thinking about this musically, a dumpsters small, enclosed but reflective upon waves, it would probobly sound amazing in a dumpster
TheMillenniumEnforcer it’s the acoustics of the toilets
I could make shit forever with that sound in the background.
Marcelo RS Retweet
This is the funniest comment I have ever read
I was the 3 thousandth person to like this and now I feel special
You will regret this
what if it wasnt empty...and a guy taking a crap was like "What the fuck?"
it would be the best crap ever :P
***** lol its because an empty bathroom has the most reverb. Bathrooms are known for great reverb bc of the ceramic and hard surfaces. The more bodies, furniture etc. the more sound is absorbed and less reflection effect occurs. That is what they are getting at...
***** lmfao
***** that would be one amazing doodoo
If it were I'd probably just sit there and listen while fangirling
this is how the song was meant to be played
Maggie Bell in a bathroom?
Thomas Homa alone
b with a camera man
Thomas Homa yes 😂
This comments section is killing me omg
Walks in bathroom
“DID YOU STAND THERE ALL ALONE”
Me in the stall: wtfff is going on
😂
@@inu7561 now 532
Okay okay
Bathrooms have better acoustics than some recording studios
Oh yeah, but that's usually by design
A studio will want to have the sound neutral and then add the effects after recording. But sometimes people still go to cool locations and record there
100%
It got that natural reverb
@@brendanhilgeman1395 yeah like how Supertramp recorded most of “give a little bit” in a glass elevator
yeah but you wouldn’t want everything to echo which is why recording studios are the exact opposite and if they’re really fancy they’ll have a room dedicated to reverb
The acoustics in the bathroom and matts voice is so heavenly
cigarette daydreams but it's *actually* played in a bathroom at a party
This video is so oddly specific and I love it
Cage The Elephant Sings "Cigarette Daydreams" in an Occupied Bathroom
420th like let's fucking go
his posture is giving me scoliosis
He has to stand like that because for some reason he has no guitar strap
It's because he is holding his guitar as it doesn't have a strap.
Damn my back is suddenly in pain just watching him hunch over
At first I thought it was another one of those (like “this and this song playing in an empty bathroom at a party”)randomly specific edits
But turns out it’s just a cool video
they're catching on to what the public wants

One day in college, I was studying in the library with one of my classmates. I passed him my headphones and played this song. That was the moment that our relationship became a little personal... we just got married in June!
wow
No one:
Not a soul:
Not even me:
TH-cam recommendations: ur gonna cry today.

Something to ease the diarrhea
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO
i keep coming back to this video. something about it, the echo, the raw push of his voice, the lyrics, it all just hits somewhere deeper here.
yes
Exactly this
We caught Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz warming up for a performance. Watch this impromptu acoustic version of "Cigarette Daydreams," sung in the bathroom of his dressing room.
Judith Abada ca va ?
Troy Baker That was beautiful man. Gross, but beautiful
***** The fact he is up against the bathroom wall and bobbing his neck up and down while strumming his pelvis... as the camera peeks around tile corners and above bathroom stalls points to...
How did you not see it coming, that everyone was gonna make toilet jokes?
BLESS YOU
he isn't wearing a guitar strap and it's causing me anxiety
thats probably why hes chillen like that
oh my god now you’ve cursed this video for me
So this is the elephant in the room people keep talking about...
beth keen that’s gotta be hella uncomfortable
beth keen he’s good like that
this is so beautiful. I don't care what anyone thinks about this
Gabriel Lutz Same
who said there was something wrong with it
We all love it dont get it wrong but the poop jokes are too hard to reassess
Normally the bathroom is where I let the Elephant out of its cage! Heeeyyyooo
win.
KB123ization Beautiful
d e a d a s s
GG man... GG
You just made me smile and laugh out loud
I would love to walk into this bathroom.
He doesn't live there
For the first couple times it would be hella cool but after a while it would just be weird and annoying
This will forever be the song that breaks me into a million pieces and puts me back together at the same time.
He looks like one of the American Horror Story guys. The one who owns the hotel in Hotel.
Yeah, me to, really a lot. He reminded me of somebody but I couldn't put my finger on who so thanks for solving that for me :D it's Evan Peters
Taylor Torres mr.march? He looks nothing like mr.march
Trinity Alley looks more like Tate, the only character I know from any AHS
Tate was Mr. March in Hotel.
Evan Peters. And I agree.
I love how much they stressed that the bathroom was empty in the title.
This is definitely one of the best songs of the decade.
top 10 for sure
I listened to this song when I was 17 with a mean streak... I’m now 22. Crazy how time goes.
Dude in stall next to Matt: "Can you pass some tp, i'm all out here?"
Matt: "ok, no problem, wait second while I get my guitar"
Dude: "wait what, no bro, I just need-"
Matt: "Did you stand there all alone? Oh I cannot explain whats going down...."
Dude: "oh buddy, you don't wanna know what's going down."
lol
I fucking love this comment.
Juvens Jean-Noel jeeesus
Jay Jeannoel BEST THING IVE EVER FUCKING SEEN
I'm rollin on the floor laughing at all this "shit"
I love the raw energy in this. So much passion, I felt every word. Amazing performance if you ask me.
“Random guy walks outta the stall and washes his hands and leaves”

Love this comment ☝️
✌💚
like yess but the thing is that I've never lost a love or something but I just feel the song and have no idea why it happens
all CTE"s songs hit like that
Just a hard hitting song in general.
This is amazing. So much emotion and passion in his performance. That's what it's all about.
Still listening to this 7 years later
I can't say it's not good. But "caught him warming up in his dressing room bathroom." Please, because all these camera angles were not already set up.
They aren't claiming to have just caught him warming up. It's openly set up.

Damn, you put me in my place. Touché.
Lol, no I didn't. You just didn't see all the facts. In today's world it's easy to be mislead.
Clark Tisdale They have like two or three people with cameras.. it's not like a big production setup.
If y’all haven’t tried, singing in a bathroom like that is actually amazing
I am so in love with this.
He'll sing anywhere and everywhere because he's a legend and is in love with music and the sharing of musical experience. What a man
TH-cam just recommended this to me and now I’ve gotten punched in the face with nostalgia
I love how absolutely raw and beautiful this is. There is so much emotion screaming out if him. Its amazing.
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
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
Soft speak with a mean streak
Nearly brought me to my knees
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 could find a reason, a reason to change
Looking for the answer
If you could find a reason, a reason to stay

although I know this song, people who put the lyrics in the comments are a godsend. thank you kind citizen
You forgot the do do dos
I can't believe this song is 10 years old and I never heard it till this year
This just further shows how amazing he sounds no matter where it is. One of the few bands that sounds better live.
I remember leaving the main fest area of bonnaroo in 2018, bummed I left early, taking a sad shit in a portapotty, to hear Matt himself performing this song right outside of the portapotty area. Thank god I was the first person to see if before the crowd drew in, was a very beautiful and surreal experience.
Thank you so much TH-cam for recommending me this like a year ago, had an addiction ever since
He’s angelic... he’s so engrossed in his music.. so lost in it.. I get lost in this song so often..
When Matt's all chilled out like this, his voice really reminds me of Scott McMicken of Dr. Dog..
Not too many artists sound this good these days with a shit ton of effects and a studio behind them. This is talent at its purest and raw form. He sounds amazing
Guy taking a crap in toilet: "Dude what the heck? Whats this guy singing about?!"
Personally i think this is one of the greatest chord progressions and songs ever
The way it was meant to be heard
So much passion. Raw emotion and talent, I love this version.
He really doesn't have that great of a voice, but it works for his style of music. So much passion.
Yeah that's the funny thing about a lot of music, especially most commonly rock, you don't have to have an exceptional voice, it's mostly about finding a style for what you've got.

So glad to see the origin of all those "(sad song) slowed and playing at the party while you're crying in the restroom" memes
Sounds even better than the album his voice is honestly heavenly
I keep stopping by every year or so, kinda like a momento
pleeeease do this "sing in an empty bathroom" with other bands, pretty please!
Paloma it was an impromptu moment while he was warming up for a show. I’d still love to see that tho
Ugh. So much emotion + passionate. Instantly attracted to him.
It would be funny if someone walked by and dropped some coins on front of him.
I was just trying to take a dump, now i'm out here questioning my life.
One voice and one guitar is all you need...the magic is there undoubtedly!!!...🎼🎶🤟🎤🎸
Learned how to play this song on the guitar... something I didn’t even think I’d ever pick up but I have to say it almost brings a tear to my eye to play when I get into it.

I love when bands cover themselves.
this just got recommended even though it was uploaded years ago but I already loved this song and I’m living for this too
Matt: "Oh I cannot explain what's going down"
Guy on the Toilet: "Me neither bro"
this is so beautiful im crying .....
From a proffessional singer, the three best places ever to sing are:
The school bathroom
The stairwell
The shower
Bonus: a literal opera house bc that place was BUILT for people not to have microphones (you never have mics in opera)
so pure 🥺
I thought the studio version was perfect but this just hits different
This song is such a big highlight of 2014 for me... I can’t explain it. Every time I hear this song and Telescope it always takes me back to that time. Feels magical.
One of my all-time favourite videos on TH-cam. I love it so much!
his posture screams scoliosis but not as much as the guy letting the elephant out of the cage in the stall was screaming
I LITERALLY LOVE THIS MUSIC
Still one of my favorite songs something so nostalgic now as well, funny how it seems only like yesterday..
can't love this enough
This is so poetically beautiful, I'm in awe. So roughly genuine. Made me shiver.
Imagine just trying to take a shit and then some guy comes in with a guitar starts playing.
This is my favourite version of this song
why am I just now discovering this? this is the video I didn't know I needed, what a pleasant surprise
beautiful as always, matt.
The purest form of art you can find
I dont know how to explain it but this is exactly how this song feels
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
