what if it wasnt empty...and a guy taking a crap was like "What the fuck?"

[@seantaylor2683]

it would be the best crap ever :P

[@RussFaraci]

***** lol its because an empty bathroom has the most reverb. Bathrooms are known for great reverb bc of the ceramic and hard surfaces. The more bodies, furniture etc. the more sound is absorbed and less reflection effect occurs. That is what they are getting at...

Bathrooms have better acoustics than some recording studios

[@brendanhilgeman1395]

Oh yeah, but that's usually by design A studio will want to have the sound neutral and then add the effects after recording. But sometimes people still go to cool locations and record there

[@Filmwithpurpose]

100%

[@drearydeary563]

It got that natural reverb

[@YouTubeAIbot]

@@brendanhilgeman1395 yeah like how Supertramp recorded most of “give a little bit” in a glass elevator

[@annemcnally5]

yeah but you wouldn’t want everything to echo which is why recording studios are the exact opposite and if they’re really fancy they’ll have a room dedicated to reverb

[@themillenniumenforcer3727]

Acoustics are surprisingly good in there, then again, he could be playing in a dumpster and it would still sound fantastic.

[@exzaviorw]

amithinks "We caught Cage the Elephant's Matt Shultz warming up for a performance. Watch this impromptu acoustic version of 'Cigarette Daydreams,' sung in the bathroom of his dressing room" Rolling Stones comment when they shared their own video.

This song is so emotionally painful for me to listen to and I have no clue why. For some reason it just stings very sharply and I think that it’s a beautiful but strange occurrence

[@jerekuva2300]

I can relate. For me this song hurts because it makes me think about the "good times", or at least the times when I used to know who I was. It makes me think about long lost relationships, love, people I'm no longer friends with. It's like this song verifies the thought I've had for a long time; My journey to find purpose in life is all in vain, all I can do is move forward. I can try to look for the answers in a pouring rain, but the fact is that there just isn't one. Pain is a part of being human. The past is never coming back and that makes me feel lost, like I took a wrong turn years ago.. And can't find my way back home.

[@reirude5338]

Did you stand there all alone? Oh, I cannot explain what's going down I can see you standing next to me In and out somewhere else right now You sigh look away I can see it clear as day Close your eyes so afraid Hide behind that baby face You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer Funny how it seems like yesterday As I recall you were looking out of place Gathered up your things and slipped away No time at all I followed you into the hall Cigarette Daydream You were only seventeen Soft speak with a mean streak Nearly brought me to my knees You can drive all night Looking for the answers in the pouring rain You wanna find peace of mind Looking for the answer If we could find a reason, a reason to change Looking for the answer If you could find a reason, a reason to stay Standing in the pouring rain

[@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458]

Willie... Willie willie willie... Please explain your opinion

[@SteamPunkWillie64]

Matthew Sudiyono Matt Shultz has a better singing range, and I like his music a lot better. Nirvana songs always seemed really lazily written to me and frankly Kurt can't really sing, which is about what most people should expect from a heroin addict. That being said, I did like the song 'About a Girl', but overall I've never understood what people see in Cobain.

[@matt.pma.kresnaputra5458]

well you're not wrong about the singing range. but the thing with cobain is his impact on the world. He was revolutionary in grunge music and the perspective of the world. and the fact that you like his musci better is of course opinion i respect that. but cobain is legendary as an artist.

He really doesn't have that great of a voice, but it works for his style of music. So much passion.

[@logantheiss5993]

Yeah that's the funny thing about a lot of music, especially most commonly rock, you don't have to have an exceptional voice, it's mostly about finding a style for what you've got. Not saying everyone can sing, but you don't have to sound like Freddy Mercury to be a singer. That's what I think anyways

[@marlonrando9272]

Logan Theiss nailed it.

[@alekrockel1773]

A.C. Harrison he did lol

[@thatonedude2263]

It's all a matter of making it work for your music. Matt makes it work for Cage the Elepehant, like Jack White Made it work for The White Stripes e.t.c it's more about finding your common ground, just a little practice

Learned how to play this song on the guitar... something I didn’t even think I’d ever pick up but I have to say it almost brings a tear to my eye to play when I get into it. I know that for life one of the best memories I’ll have is sitting out front of my house with my Gretsch and a girl I love or maybe in the future just loved, but I played, she sang, I sang too but she stole the show. So many late nights and so many mental red lights are associated with this song that it’s like taking an emotional pill every time I really take a minute to listen. Heartbreaking but so beautiful- some people say that music is just music but music like this is something’s changed my life.
