I remember waking up every morning and hearing this song on MTV right before I went to school and never knew the name of the song or band. No one knows how long I’ve be searching for this song and finally found it 🎉
It's amazing. Most of us came here today because we watched Shameless and felt the energy of that one scene, it was so evolving that we had to find the music and here it is. Beautiful.
That bridge is so. Very. Tight. The tension of the excellent bassline and that building, soaring trumpet solo. And how many bands can make themselves have their (admittedly superb) guitarist step down for a song? The guitar here is basically just counterpoint and rhythm. And it's excellent. This song also wins in that Cake is willing to not load every second with a wall of sound. There is empty space in there. And it is good. Note that the last two minutes is, but for one chorus, almost just pure instrumental of the highest quality.
imyourotherhalf Wow, I'm literally flattered. It was only recently that I realized that Cake is not just some band that makes kinda catchy songs. For 20 years I've been listening to them, and never put together the fact that they have a mix of talent that is very unusual, not least because of the consistency of their excellence. Sure, we all notice the trumpet (and we for damn sure should), and that near-spoken sardonic delivery of the lyrics, but what about the mixtures of (typically) three melodies and counter-melodies, and a consistently very high-end bassline? The drummer does some change-ups that I'm not educated enough to really dissect, but there's no flies on any of them, and you can go back and either geek out musically, or just. Rock. Out. Enough. I come across as a fanboi, and I'm just a guy who likes his music. Hey, you got lucky this time, but you know better than to read the comments. NEVER read the comments! :)
Guys what about the fact the band are encouraging satanic worship and their stuff being used through mainstream media also controlled by guys that are involved in satanic worship.... just saying......
+David Adams They're not. They question popular culture, and the religion of branding in capitalism, and they talk about relationships. There is sarcasm. There's not a word about Satan, nor a bit of celebration of Satanism. You also have not provided any examples. But, to be honest, if they did have a little Satanism in their music, it would bother me no more than listening to some Christian influence in my rock and roll.
this was my go-to song when i was feeling depressed after dropping out of high school in early 2013, i remember just binging Shameless and this song came at the end of the episode and it stuck to me ever since, i found myself just randomly linstening to it at 2am just doing nothing on computer staying late, this song will always remindme of that, of those pointless nights now im starting the new job tomorrow and im staying up late for no reason, anxious and depressed and listening to this again, 5,6 years later...
Surely one the most underrated indie bands of the last 25 years ... listen to their albums; melodic, quirky and beautifully played by ensemble masters.
@@luftypufty7053 OK. all hyperbole aside, Showroom of Compassion wasn’t their best offering but Mustache Man and Sick of You are both good songs too IMO albeit not as good as this one
@@michaelcrawford4940 Seriously agree with you on the first one- I felt like Moustache Man was a classic cake composition (trumpets, great bassline, excellent lyrics and timing) but the rest of the album just lacked their signature feel, and Sick of You (IMO) felt like it lacked bite, compared to something like "Take it All away" from their previous album Pressure Chief. Even this one kinda feels like it rides the line sometimes- in short, not enough Cake in their new albums.
R.I.P Eddie Jackson 😬 I will never be able to hear the intro of this song without visualising Eddie holding that cement block, stepping off the ice into the frosty depths below... No pun intended, but, how chilling. 🤷😬 Shameless is amazing, and so is this song!
WTF I watched this video when I was like 8 and i have been trying to find it for 10 years!! Then I heard it on shameless and had flashbacks to my childhood. 😭💗
Another great song, another great album all together. The band is making their own music out of their own studio now. With their style (an alternative band with a trumpet!) they continue to have originality and creativity.
You want so baddly for them to both escape. You see yourself in the man, and want him to make it out. I cried hard on this one. Amazing video to go with an amazing song.
Same😂😂😂 and yet they never even play hem of your garment live. Saw them at Bristol swx. Seriously watch them live if you get the chance. Nothing quite like it you'll ever see. And the talent is just raw.
for two days i've been trying to remember this song and i have just rememebred, i can't describe you level of joy i felt when i somehow remembered the melody and lyrics..
This song is awesome for so many reasons. There are nice flowy changes, great melody, tragic yet positive, great vocals, great instrumentals, and nice mix of unique sounds, great drums, and amazing lyrics. That's what I think. :)
So no one's going to comment on Xan's middle name? It's French for "goddess" (or god gives/given, if you separate the words). He's been my fav for awhile so I guess that's kind of appropriate.
I’m just finding out this is in shameless n that’s cool , I’ve nvr seen the show imma check it out but I’ve loved this song since I was young n saw it playing on mtv chilling wit my pops
Cake is older than Gorillaz...so shouldn't it be Style of cake? and not really maybe one or two songs but Cake is a mostly unique in their really laid back style
I don't watch Shameless, but I love Cake. I was huge into them in the mid 2000's and somehow never heard this song. I can't believe i've been missing this.
I heard this song before shameless. So when I was watching the show and that song came in, I was like That DiCaprio Meme that he is pointing to the television. This song was probably the first one that I heard from cake.

Surely one the most underrated indie bands of the last 25 years ... listen to their albums; melodic, quirky and beautifully played by ensemble masters.
And they deliver live! First class band.
Them and Spoon. Spoon and Cake. Yum
My only issue with Cake is when I play it to clean house to, I never get it cleaned because I'm too busy dancing 🎉
first heard it on SHAMELESS. instantly fell in love with it. :)
sujata pokharel ME TOO
Same ❤
Please spotify 🤌🏼
World’s greatest love story, + a wonderful song from CAKE 10/10
Hadn't listened to cake in years. Started watching shameless and here I am and I couldn't be happier.
RIP Eddie Jackson. Whatever you feel about him, he was still Sheila’s husband!
Эдди Джексон куда лучше других героев сериала. Его искренне жаль. Обидно, что с дочерью так случилось😢
This song played whilst vacationing with my wife in Saint Croix and will forever remind me of the amazing time that we had there.
It's been a long time... Since we've heard a new CAKE album
It's been a long time since I was last blessed by CAKE's awesome music.
underrated as fuck
TRUE STORY
This song should be played on the radio more than their other songs.
Shameless too, this is some james and thr giant peach vibes cool lookin visuals
Shameless the best soundtracks i ever heard in any tv series.And its promoting some great bands that i've never heard of before:D
BRUH- I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOREVER. My dad randomly said “it’s been a long time” and then BAM
I remember my uncle introducing me to this song and band, I am truly happy that I found it 💛
That solo got so much music power it could kick down a tree
Damn, without this one and "Guitar Man" my Cake playlist cannot ever be complete. Make it available!
this music video makes me feel the way waking up from an uncomfortable nap makes me feel
Ever since I've heard this song on Shameless I've been obsessed with it!!!! It's so good!!
thanks to the comments I started to watch Shameless and it's the best thing lol
Started 2020, a week ago and this is how I found the song. Take care

I started listening to cake when fashion nugget came out and they have been one of my favorite bands since

Recuerdos de esta canción en Radio Doble9... Saludos desde Perú
Perfect depression song. I cant believe I never heard it before
I thought this music video was a fever dream. I'd been looking for it for ages and Shameless randomly played it and brought back so much memories.

Da hora esse som!!!
for two days i've been trying to remember this song and i have just rememebred, i can't describe you level of joy i felt when i somehow remembered the melody and lyrics..
This video always made my stomach feel funny and after years I’m finally watching it again and nothing has changed.
Damn, I tought I was the onlyone felling like this
Best season and best finale of the series
There is something about this song that I just can't get enough of and I can't quite pinpoint it, awesome song tho!
This song is awesome for so many reasons. There are nice flowy changes, great melody, tragic yet positive, great vocals, great instrumentals, and nice mix of unique sounds, great drums, and amazing lyrics. That's what I think. :)
RIP Eddie. Didn't deserve the ending he got.
great music ....horn reminds me of Chicago.....lyrics are dark but that's what they are going for
sometimes wight boys can bring the funk...this is one of those times
It's been a long time
Since I've seen your smiling face
It's been a long time
Since I've seen a sunny day
It's been a long time
Since you wore your pillbox hat
It's been a long time
Since we drove your Pontiac
It's been a long time
Since you gave me butterflies
It's been a long time
Since I seen it burning in your eyes
But I don't mind (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
When I've got you next to me
It's been a long time
Since we tripped into this ditch
It's been a long time
Since we drank the a-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-arsenic
It's been a long time
Since we've been inside of this tomb
It's been a long time
Since you wore your expensive French perfume
But I don't mind (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
No I don't (I don't mind)
When I've got you next to me
It's been a long time
Since I've seen your smiling face
It's been a long time
Since I've seen a sunny day

There are a lot of things I love about this song and yes, I did come here from Shameless, but did they ever learn how to write a bridge?
this video has a gorrilaz feel to it
