"Skin and Bones" just hit #1 on Billboard's Alternative chart. It's the 4th consecutive #1 song on a Billboard chart from "Social Cues". What an album! The Grammy was well-deserved.
This song started playing after getting into my car, after seeing my father dying..it was the last time I saw him alive. . I cried so hard I bruised my ribs, sorry for being a downer, but this song has gotten me through the toughest times..thank you guys for such a beautiful song.
This album might be the best thing to ever happen. I love the sound these guys have. I think back to 2008 when I first heard No Rest For The Wicked on a Borderlands trailer. Been listening ever since.
Im not amazed i knew they were one of a kind from the very first time i heard NRFTW im just sad that Lincoln Parish left he really brought an energetic life to the songs that you dont exactly find on the albums without him. First two albums will forever be my favorite but im so glad theyre still amazing after Parish left even if it is different.
[Verse 1] Close my eyes and drift into the silence Barely see the ultraviolet Slipped and fell into the deep end Oh, the sidewalk shimmer just like diamonds All the empty words were flying Well, the heart was low, but I never was alone I never was alone [Chorus] I've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes, fight to carry on Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? If I fall, I'll tuck and roll Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home Let the love-light guide me home [Verse 2] One step fades and falls into another I'm not getting any further Left you feeling like an alien All the shining sidewalks, they were lying Lost myself while I was hiding And the heart was low, but I never was alone I never was alone [Chorus] I've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes, fight to carry on Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? If I fall, I'll tuck and roll Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home Let the love-light guide me home [Bridge] Hearts are empty almost all the time Blind devising ways to lead the blind And it seems as if there's no end in sight I don't wanna be there when it all goes down But if I gotta be there, don't let me hit the ground Can I hit the ground? [Chorus] I've been running for so long All that's left is skin and bones Close my eyes, fight to carry on Sometimes it makes no sense at all If I stumble, will I fall? If I fall, I'll tuck and roll Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home Let the love-light guide me home Let the love-light guide me home
As I was pulling out of the driveway last night this song came on the radio right as I turned the car on. I was singing along letting the car warm up just finished "let the love-light guide me home" when my step mother called to tell me my father had passed. The lyrics hit a lot harder now, I love you Dad and I'll miss you!
Nbs I haven’t listened to this song in awhile but I glad I got to listen to it again especially today prayers to my father’s health for as long as possible
I've heard Cage the Elephant's music for a really long time on the radio, but I haven't truly listened to it until recently, and I'm such a fan, it's like they can do nothing wrong.
All those Cigarette Daydreams Around [his] Head made that Broken Boy run from all the Social Cues those Indy Kidz were giving him; they had his Back Against the Wall. He got a Spiderhead from all that Trouble and decided he was Ready to Let Go. Matt doesn't Mess Around, it's time he said Goodbye. After all, he's no one's Punching Bag. (Can I get praise for this please, I just used 12 song references)
@@DP-pv6jf Yeah you know what they say though, Ain't No Rest for the Wicked. Even after Black Madonna his Sabertooth Tiger and his Japanese Buffalo from his House of Glass in 2024, he always looked up to the stars through his Telescope. Back Stabbin' Betty even control the Drones in the Valley and the Tiny Little Robots to steal his Lotus he still always helped out Judas and Aberdeen. Not even the Hypocrite, Black Widow could take away his Halo, and he'll never be a Cry Baby about life.
TY to Brookdale CC Radio 90.5 The Night! Cruising Asbury Park this sunny Saturday morning after a great walk on the beach w/ my 2 best canines - what a song!
I really like how I've been low key listening to this band for a long time now. Like, I've never been a super fan but always liked them and man they've just gotten better with age. Keep rockin!
The love for myself has to come first. I can no longer love for someone else that cant love for me. My love light will guide me home....this is hitting so hard right now in my life...thank u CTE.
RIGHT! This and House of Glass are sooo good really excellent blend of new Cage and classic Cage sounds, no trademark Aurbach sound diluting the Cage magic either.
Pain makes good music. CTE has made good use of their creative talents to route that pain......for our pleasure. It goes full circle like that crazy baboon goes on about. Its in the lion king man,I swear. Just watch it.
Listened to this like a 1000 times and can't decide what is better... the kick ass instrumentals from the band or the beautiful lyrics Matt is singing. Both just make me feel some kind of way.💙
I swear this band doesn't make a bad song! I was so close to seeing them with Beck but the tickets were sold out at the closet show to me. Hopefully I get to see them some day though.
Best concert ive ever been to. They are my favorite band ever so im a lil biased. But the energy and the way Matt works the stage makes the whole building alive.they're amazing live
After walking in on my father passed away in the bathroom floor Cage elephant 🐘 has really helped me through the years helping me cope with it ... For anyone seeing this no matter the odds of how sad life can bring us dwn You are not alone things will get better keep your head up
I've never heard any CTE on the radio. I'm almost 51 and I literally discovered them about a month ago. Heard them on Lucifer but never knew who it was. Just heard them last night on Legacies. But my song list it totally dominated by CTE songs and I have a huge variety of songs from almost all genres all the way from 1960's country to current (2021) rock, techno/EDM, country, classical, metal, pop. Etc. Have to say I love them and wish I'd found them sooner. I think I was strictly into house EDM and raves when they arrived so that's most likely why I never heard about them back then. Making up for it now though. Lol
Well I mean their older styles were nowhere near as soft and I was slightly disappointed to see them play it safe. But there are some good one in here.
This song was playing on the radio when I first started driving after my G1, and I can't explain how nice it felt to hear this as I was doing a steady, smooth 80km around a bend! It felt like I was in a movie; driving away before the credits popped up
Amo el trabajo de esta banda, me encanta su musica, sus letras, siempre logran enamorarme de sus cancioneees, hace 3 años conoci su musica y sin duda es la mejor, gracias por estos buenos ritmos y poemas cage the elephant, son una banda a la que adiro muchisimo:(
I found this song during my pottery class, my teacher would always play it and it would always happen to turn on why I started to doubt myself, for some reason this song always helped me regain my confidence. Whenever this song plays I know that everything is going to be okay :)
I can imagine scenes of a man running on sidewalks that keep getting narrower, and ultimately floating into space. This could be the third chart topper from the album if released as a single.

I hope you are doing better today

[Verse 1]
Close my eyes and drift into the silence
Barely see the ultraviolet
Slipped and fell into the deep end
Oh, the sidewalk shimmer just like diamonds
All the empty words were flying
Well, the heart was low, but I never was alone
I never was alone
[Chorus]
I've been running for so long
All that's left is skin and bones
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
If I stumble, will I fall?
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home
[Verse 2]
One step fades and falls into another
I'm not getting any further
Left you feeling like an alien
All the shining sidewalks, they were lying
Lost myself while I was hiding
And the heart was low, but I never was alone
I never was alone
[Chorus]
I've been running for so long
All that's left is skin and bones
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
If I stumble, will I fall?
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home
[Bridge]
Hearts are empty almost all the time
Blind devising ways to lead the blind
And it seems as if there's no end in sight
I don't wanna be there when it all goes down
But if I gotta be there, don't let me hit the ground
Can I hit the ground?
[Chorus]
I've been running for so long
All that's left is skin and bones
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
Sometimes it makes no sense at all
If I stumble, will I fall?
If I fall, I'll tuck and roll
Close my eyes and let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home
Let the love-light guide me home
HDSoil god bless u
Thank you!!!
You're a fucking trooper
YOU MESSED UP BRO ITS NOT OH THE SIDE WALK SHIMMER JUST LIKE DIAMONDS,ITS ALL THE SIDEWALKS SHIMMER OIKE DIAMONDS

I’ve never been this emotional over an album release..
This album is amazing
@Damien Williams dude stfu leave the peace alone
Damien Williams agreed
@Damien Williams woah there my dude, I mean you state your claim if you can see enough worth in your lie but i don't see what its got to do with much.
This song is such a vibe. Cage the elephant does NOT disappoint.

You know why CTE is the best group out?..... 5 seconds in the song and it's already good.
Arctic Monkeys and Tame Impala vibes ... Absolutely love it !
i know right
Except CTE is 1,000x better then them.
“let the love-light get me home” always gets me emotional
Listen to trouble and then this song, it’s insane how much they compliment eachother
This is one of those songs that helps to drive you through the hard times. ^^
If u like this tune check out faceless humming by The Impures. :) is a pretty good song imo

TY to Brookdale CC Radio 90.5 The Night! Cruising Asbury Park this sunny Saturday morning after a great walk on the beach w/ my 2 best canines - what a song!
only discovered this bad a couple months ago and they’re already one of my favorite artists/groups. I love how unique their sound is
Really impressed with the lyrics of this song, as well as Matt's voice.
I really like how I've been low key listening to this band for a long time now. Like, I've never been a super fan but always liked them and man they've just gotten better with age. Keep rockin!
One of the best songs by one of the very best bands.. imho
One of those songs you can listen to over and over again!
The love for myself has to come first. I can no longer love for someone else that cant love for me. My love light will guide me home....this is hitting so hard right now in my life...thank u CTE.
I get a lot of early morning AM vibes from this album... like I can picture myself waking up at 5am with this album playing in the background.
I agree I got that feeling too, like waking up to see the dawn with a coffee while there's a cool breeze
@@daigoelcrack3536 yeah it definitely has that vibe to it.
csmall1221 I like to listen to this album when I drive to work in the early morning
That’s how I wake up 😂
underrated af!
I've waited for SO LONG to the official version!
I think it's the best song in the album!! So awesome!
RIGHT! This and House of Glass are sooo good really excellent blend of new Cage and classic Cage sounds, no trademark Aurbach sound diluting the Cage magic either.
Such a pretty, emotional melody, perfectly sung and produced. I'll never tire of hearing it. Should be a single to get the attention it deserves.
Their whole album is great.
I’ve never actually had my jaw drop at a song. CTE has done it again
This is one of my favourites ♥️
Pain makes good music. CTE has made good use of their creative talents to route that pain......for our pleasure. It goes full circle like that crazy baboon goes on about. Its in the lion king man,I swear. Just watch it.
This song is addictive.

This just makes me cry... So pure! Huge intensity

This song comes on the radio a lot and I'm into it ♡
Let the love light guide me home
Soooo many good songs I’m excited for this album #perfection 😭💖
@Bagel Yeah slightly disappointed honestly. But still some good songs.
Close my eyes, fight to carry on
I felt this
Best song on the album, in fact one of the best they have done...
Lost myself while I was hiding...
Yeah, that one hit me hard.
Me too blood
👀🤫
I was literally reading comments when this verse came up.
👀😎
They are one of the few I can listen to continually. So talented and different. Them and beck together is a dream!
I dont understand how they make these songs, they are unbelievable
I love this song. Undoubtedly one of the best of the album!
I swear this band doesn't make a bad song! I was so close to seeing them with Beck but the tickets were sold out at the closet show to me. Hopefully I get to see them some day though.
Best concert ive ever been to. They are my favorite band ever so im a lil biased. But the energy and the way Matt works the stage makes the whole building alive.they're amazing live
Seen them once at sweet water 420 was blown away.
Deserves 625.. Carry .. Carry On.. just what music needed and still does.
