    Lyrics:
    He's going the distance
    He's going for speed
    She's all alone (All alone)
    All alone in her time of need
    Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    He's going the distance

      It's not just great composition and performance (the rhythm section is especially good) but the arrangement provides a ridiculous amount of hooks. Who thought to that burst of mariachi trumpet in the chorus? In addition it's an awesome recording too as the mixing is absolutely perfect. I long thought it's one of the greatest records anyone has ever made. I'm glad to come here and see other people are as enthusiastic about it as I am.

      I'm re-recording this song right now. The depth of this song really surprised me when I listened through a musician's ear. After singing this song for like 30 years in my car, I never realized for example, that the backing vocals "he's going for speed" are sung at a different time and pace than the lead vocal, you end up with this sort of delayed call/response. Really really cool. And what about the subtle guitar bends?? Never realized they even existed.

    Profound.
    "The Distance" is a song by American alternative rock band Cake. Released in August 1996, "The Distance" was the first single from the band's second album, Fashion Nugget, and is considered one of their most popular songs.[4] It was written by the band's guitarist at the time, Greg Brown.
    "It is a song about success and failure, and failure of success, really," said McCrea in 2019. "It's a sad song, because there is no success. You can explode into the world with great magnificence, and still feel like the guy underneath the Mickey Mouse head, with the fan batteries that have stopped working properly, and it's dark under there, and everybody wants your autograph."[5]
    IMHO it's dark because you still haven't found your purpose and still on the hamster wheel running as fast as you possibly can but getting no where.

      @rawman44 ปีที่แล้ว +91

      I don't think that's what the song is about. I believe "going the distance" here is not a good thing. What it looks and sounds like, to me, is that "going the distance" is working so hard at a job that won't ever reward your efforts and neglecting your own physical/mental health and relationships in the process.
      "She's all alone, all alone in her time of need" - he isn't there for her, because he's going the distance.
      "Long ago somebody left with the cup" and "No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine" - again, he goes unrewarded for his intense efforts yet continues to go the distance.
      "She's hoping in time that her memories will fade" - they are no longer together, either because he wasn't there, or just isn't alive, so she's hoping to forget him.
      Then we see at the end of the video he's going into the ocean, I interpret that as his death. He's worked himself into his grave.
      But, that's just one guy's opinion

We called ourselves ska punk, somewhere between Operation Ivy and Bad Religion. Right in that early 2000s edgy sound. I was a drummer, and I could play NoFX beats with a single bass drum pedal by basically making my right foot have a mini spasm once a second. We also loved the Chili Peppers and Primus.

      This is the most important truth in existence. To understand this you need to personally read at least three books of the Bible, genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. As you do you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. Start with forgiveness. Parents are easiest. Look inside for the grievances we all build up their and practice forgiveness inside your heart. It teaches your soul something important, heals parts that have become clouded.
      Please trust me.
      If you genuinely open up your heart you discover the truth within.

    Rewatching this I realise they did absolutely everything perfect. The song has all the right elements and the right sounds at the right times and the video matches it too. The group in the elevator get a line but there’s one last shot of the them with the old guys arm raised with the ‘hey’. Small things but they had to a goosebump inducing whole.

    Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
    Engines pumping and thumping in time
    The green light flashes, the flags go up
    Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
    They deftly maneuver and muscle for rank
    Fuel burning fast on an empty tank
    Reckless and wild, they pour through the turns
    Their prowess is potent and secretly stern
    As they speed through the finish, the flags go down
    The fans get up and they get out of town
    The arena is empty except for one man
    Still driving and striving as fast as he can
    The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
    And long ago somebody left with the cup
    But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
    And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
    He's going the distance
    He's going for speed
    She's all alone (all alone)
    All alone in her time of need
    Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    He's going the distance
    No trophy, no flowers, no flashbulbs, no wine
    He's haunted by something he cannot define
    Bowel-shaking earthquakes of doubt and remorse
    Assail him, impale him with monster-truck force
    In his mind, he's still driving, still making the grade
    She's hoping in time that her memories will fade
    'Cause he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
    And long ago somebody left with the cup
    But he's striving and driving and hugging the turns
    And thinking of someone for whom he still burns
    'Cause he's going the distance
    He's going for speed
    She's all alone (all alone)
    All alone in her time of need
    Because he's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    He's racing and pacing and plotting the course
    He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse
    He's going the distance
    He's going for speed
    He's going the distance
    Ah no, so sad, alright
    Oh no, oh no, no, no

      what i dont get is:
      is he driving a car? like it suggests at the start with engines pumping and thumping, green lights and flags, he's striving and driving and hugging the turns.
      or is he on a horse? He's fighting and biting and riding on his horse, tophies flowers flashbulbs and wine suggests a different scene to engines flags and greenlights which are certainly not in horse racing

      Jesus Christ is the way truth and life.
      This is the most important truth in existence. To understand this you need to personally read at least three books of the Bible, genesis, Mathew, and one you chose yourself. As you do you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. Start with forgiveness. Parents are easiest. Look inside for the grievances we all build up their and practice forgiveness inside your heart. It teaches your soul something important, heals parts that have become clouded.
      Please trust me.
      If you genuinely open up your heart you discover the truth within.
      Jesus Christ is lord.

    Cake is a very unique band with a "sound" and in particular rythym and lead guitar and bass sound that is all their own. Has an incredible particular funk to it. Nothing else out there like them, that sounds even close. Even their cover of War Pigs by Black Sabbath, is very unique in style. I like the "rawness" of their sound when recorded for albums. A very tight sounding band.
