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 🎉
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.
@@requiem8958it’s from their album Showroom of Compassion which has a blueish album cover with a yellow graphic in the middle and red text on both the top and bottom, hope this helps!
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...
I can't believe Cake has so many songs I've been hearing for years.. Yet I had to hear the best song they ever made for the first time in 2016 on a TV show! What a freaking hidden Gem! Probably their best song.
Surely one the most underrated indie bands of the last 25 years ... listen to their albums; melodic, quirky and beautifully played by ensemble masters.
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. 😭💗
@@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!
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..
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.
I didn't know this was a classic. I haven't listened to cake since the 90s....those are the classics. Listen to their take on Black Sabbath War Pigs... Damn this is great tho. Love Cake
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.
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. :)
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.
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
Was he a douche because he hated the fact his daughter was fucking half of southside chicago? Get real. Most fathers would feel the same way about their daughter.
Thanks to Shameless I'm now obsessed with this song. And obvioulsy I'm obsessed with that serie too... Sooo damn good! Everytime I watch an episode, I turn Shazam ON! Great bands for the soundtrack...
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.
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.
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.

It's been a long time... Since we've heard a new CAKE album
This song played whilst vacationing with my wife in Saint Croix and will forever remind me of the amazing time that we had there.

Love the trumpets in this one..........hell, I love the whole tune. LOVE CAKE! Saw them live at MassMOCA 2 years ago. Awesome concert!
this music video makes me feel the way waking up from an uncomfortable nap makes me feel
Hadn't listened to cake in years. Started watching shameless and here I am and I couldn't be happier.
somehow...cake's music has become the soundtrack of my life.... Thanks Cake.
Everybody loves cake, apparently
I remember my uncle introducing me to this song and band, I am truly happy that I found it 💛
this video has a gorrilaz feel to it
true true
What genre is it? I can't seem to define it. Awesome music, if you could list some of the bands that play the similar stuff I would be soo happy.
Stefan Marjanovic Alternative rock
Nick Fravel Thanks Nick
yeah sort of
This is someone's favorite music video.
Damn, without this one and "Guitar Man" my Cake playlist cannot ever be complete. Make it available!

Shameless too, this is some james and thr giant peach vibes cool lookin visuals
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.
Ever since I've heard this song on Shameless I've been obsessed with it!!!! It's so good!!
I love this song!
Remember this song from high school shameless brought me back to it 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
That solo got so much music power it could kick down a tree
Da hora esse som!!!
It's been a long time

It's been a long time
Since I've seen a sunny day
It's been a long time

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

He's been my fav for awhile so I guess that's kind of appropriate.
I’ve been listening to cake since 19 about 6 years and it never gets old
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
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. :)
Cake is one of the best yet most underrated bands and that's my villain origin story
Cake is the only band that i can honestly say i like all of there music.Every song seems fresh I love cake
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.

i'm here for SHAMELESS !! this song is amazing... style GORILLAZ... respect CAKE from italy!!
I thought the same of Gorillaz!!
Non sono l'unico italiano che ascolta questa canzone, yhe! Grazie Shameless
except this one looks a little more terrifying
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
Cake is older than Gorillaz....
great music!! always make me shaking my head!!
