Cage The Elephant

Cage The Elephant is an American rock band from Bowling Green, Kentucky that was formed in 2006. This group consists of five members: Matt Shultz, Brad Shultz, Lincoln Parish, Daniel Tichenor, and Jared Champion.  Their first ever album is called Cage the Elephant which was released in 2008.  Their genres include alternative rock, garage rock, punk blues, and indie rock. The only other two albums that they have released are Thank You, Happy Birthday (2011-2012), and Melophobia (2013-present). The only songs that i really enjoy would be Come A Little Closer, from Melophobia and Take It Or Leave It also from the same album. Here are the lyrics for those songs

"Come A Little Closer"


Time shakes, found you at the water
At first you were my father, now I love you like a brother
Earthquakes shake the dust behind you
This world at times will blind you
Still I know I'll see you there


Come a little closer, then you'll see

Come on, come on, come on

Things aren't always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you would see here
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming
Come a little closer, then you'll see



Heartbreaks, the heavy world's upon your shoulders

Will we burn or we just smolder

Somehow I know I'll find you there
Oooh, I wanna see if you can change it, change it
Still I know I'll see you there



Come a little closer, then you'll see

Come on, come on, come on

Things aren't always what they seem to be
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you would see here
Come on, come on, come on
Do you understand the things that you've been dreaming
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come a little closer, then you'll see



Ten thousand people stand alone now

And in the evening the sun sets

Tomorrow it will rise
Time flies by, they all sang along
Time flies by, they all sang along
Time flies by, they all sang along
Time flies - bye, bye



Come a little closer, then you'll see

Come on, come on, come on
Come a little closer, then you'll see  
     
Come a little closer, then you'll see
Come a little closer, then you'll see                                "Take It Or Leave It"

Baby you should know by now that I'’m right…, for you.
But every time I step to you, you change… your tune.
Sweet wheel of death keeps us holding our breathe.
I step to the right, you move to the left.
Unless no one else.
I'’d rather die to myself.

Oh why, won’'t you make up your mind?
I think I must confess.
I'’m starting to unwind.
I been trippin' over you.
So tell me something new.
Take it or leave it….

Maybe I should pack my things and move on?
Maybe I’'m foolin' myself and you’re already gone?
Watching the flames wither and fade.
Trying to make sense of the look on your face.
I'’m down, I’'m an itch.
Just playin' that I can hold on.

Oh why, won’'t you make up your mind?
I think I must confess.
I'’m learning to unwind.
I'’ve been trippin' over you.
So tell me something new.
Take it or leave it….

Baby please.
Oh baby please.
Stay with me or cut me free.
It’s all of me.
Oh why, won’t you make up your mind?
I think I must confess.
I'’m starting to unwind.
I been trippin' over you.
So tell me something new.
Take it or leave it….
Take it or leave it………

Of Monsters And Men

Of Monsters and Men is an indie-folk pop band from Iceland that formed in 2010. This band consists of five band members that consists of Nanna, Ragnar, Brynjar, Kristjan, and Arnar. They have two albums out, Into the Woods, and My Head Is An Animal(2011-present). They released this album in September, and on it is their top four songs,Little Talks, Mountain Sounds, Dirty Paws, King and Lionheart. They are also the winner of the 2013 European Border Breakers Award. Since they are a recently joined group, they dont have many albums out. My favorite song that they sing is Little Talks. This song was released on their EP album, Into The Woods, and its their top single on My Head is An Animal.


Little Talks 


Hey! Hey! Hey!
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you, my dear

It's the house telling you to close your eyes

And some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey! Hey! Hey!

There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love.


Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear

'Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Hey!
Hey!

You're gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that's left is the ghost of you.
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart,
There's nothing we can do
Just let me go we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me
Please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

Hey!
Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!
Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don't listen to a word I say
Hey!
The screams all sound the same
Hey!

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore


So this is a good kinda band and thats all i have to say.
