CAKE - I Will Survive (Live)

CAKE performs 'I Will Survive' live at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, September 8th, 2004.

[@joelashadali]

Arguably one of the best covers of all time

[@dp6436]

agree. absolutely brilliant

[@nathaliam.471]

2023 and still completely mesmerized by this song and their interpretation of it.

[@heitorpaduam]

I met this version a couple of weeks ago and their whole first album, and I'm also mesmerized since then. Before that all I knew about Cake was "Short Skirt/Long Jacket", "Never There", and that a lot of people said they where an incredible and unique band. Now I understand why. Ps.: Também sou brasileiro, tô respondendo em inglês só de treino mesmo, espero que a gramática esteja boa kkkkkkkkk

These sort of comments are one of the worst things about KZbin these days. You can find them on almost every post. They are not only unoriginal, but offer nothing outside of increased statistics.

[@user-hg4ok2jw2m]

I'm so grateful to by ex wife for turning me on to this incredible band! I'm especially grateful to her for taking me to their concerts in LA and Seattle! The funk is so alive with them! Now I'm saving all that lovin'for someone who loves me! I will survive!!! Love the bass player especially! And you've got to love the horns in Cake too!

[@cleo1396]

My God, the guitar solo!

[@nathanwahl9224]

Hahaha, good one!!!

[@Starman111065]

These guys are so solid instrumentally. That's easy to forget what with their usual clever and often comical lyrics. Here it comes out in this old standard. Lead guitar and bass are off the chain.

[@zaccopeland1916]

Yes

[@zaccopeland1916]

Could you?

[@miguelfernandez9839]

Thar guitar solo is unbelievable. The taste!

[@steveflinn6]

All of this is true. And yet there is no Cake without that lead voice.

[@sophiafranco9657]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back From outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive, hey, hey It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry But now I hold my head up high and you see me Somebody new I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive Oh Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? You think I'd crumble? You think I'd lay down and die?

[@DenSantos]

This rendition is absolutely perfect. All the musicians are marvelous. The drums, the bass line, the guitar are at their peak. When the trumpet enters "into the room" is magic and always makes me cry. But nothing is better than the voice and the acoustic guitar of the vocalist. His interpretation is like a actor in a theater play. He btings a whole new dimension to the kyrics that I admit never realized, although I've always known this music, with the gerat Gloria Gaynor. Thanks a lot for posting this video.

Cake is probably my most favorite band. I've memorized almost all the lyrics of their entire discography. Cake is truly one of those timeless bands that will never fit into any era.

[@randr10]

You're right about the timelessness. This band could have easily hit the scene in 1969 and they would certainly not have sounded out of place then. I'm reminded of War a lot with the eclectic blend of everything from mariachi to old school country, rockabilly, soul, funk and obviously given their era, alternative rock. Their music still sounds fresh today. Great band. Got to see them once in Del Mar years ago. Was not disappointed.
