Cage the Elephant! Hurry it's escaping...You let it get away -sigh-

Listen to this awesome song. Its good, no better than good, no no it's the best... Well at least in my opinion.

This song had the beats of alternative music, but i feel that it explains a deeper feeling. This feeling is of how the world is changing. It starts off with an older tune, which led me to think the song wouldn't fit my tastes. Later in the song it gets a faster tempo and a good storyline. the story line is how a prostitute approached him and he asks why she would do such a thing. She replies basically by saying that the world is getting worse and shes just doing her part. Later he wanders into the "wrong neighborhood" and he gets mugged. At this point he's like "woooooowwwwww" whats up with this world first a prostitute, and now i'm getting mugged. As along with the first person he asks why he is doing this, and the mugger replies that this world is messed up and he knows no better way. That he has kids to feed and there is nothing else he can do.

Finally at the end of this song he gets home and guess what! He turns on the TV and bam another bad/corrupted thing happens.

Okay, the true review starts here.------> The lead singer is Matt Shultz.
When I heard this song i thought of how corrupt the world is. When you listen to this song you can imagine you are the person and all these things are happening to you. When you listen to this song, expect to be amazed from the slower beginning then speeding up, then slowing down again.

  1. I think the song is best summed up by these lyrics:
    "There aint no rest for the wicked
    Money dont grow on trees
    I got bills to pay
    I got mouths to feed
    There aint nothing in this world for free"

    This song can really get you thinking on what the worlds turning into.
