One of the best songs ever? Absolutely! I listened to this last night while I was about to sleep, and I literally almost cried because I felt the passion to such an extent.
Baela he played it in columbus on his transit anniversary tour, i bawled my eyes out such a strong song, and he got so drunk after the show that night, ive never seen him drink so much, it messes with him to even play it
I have loved Andrew's music since I was fourteen and was given a burned copy of Konstantine by an older friend. Ten years later, I'm still in awe of the man and the beauty of what he makes. This is the most intimate and powerful song I know. Thank you, Andrew McMahon.
Dear Jesus. The way he sings the word 'rebirth', the way that last note catches at the end of the second syllable. Pretty sure that's what raw, unfettered emotion sounds like. Can I like, bottle it and keep it to listen to whenever I want, or something, because it's fucking beautiful.
This is such as inspirations and emotionfelt song. It sends chills down my spine to learn about what Andrew had to go through. What a strong man to be singing about this. He's amazing.
I saw him in concert in Orlando a few months back. Best concert I've ever seen. At one point he was so into the song he was playing the piano with his fist (effing wailing on it). He then proceeded to jump up on the piano and finish the song. This is my favorite song.
I get goosebumps just from the first notes, then he sings and I melt. Jack's Mannequin is magic and Andrew Mcmahon is an inspiration and a saviour for many. We love you.
I know this isn't one of his most popular songs, but I seriously would call this song one of my favorites. It is easily the most powerful, most emotional song, hands down. I really hope I get to see him perform this live someday.
I feel the exact same way.. I first heard Jack's Mannequin when I was 13 and I'm 19 now... I immediately fell in love Andrew McMahon had a huge impact on me
The first line of "Caves" is: I'm caught somewhere in between alive and living in a dream. He had been sleeping or falling asleep when he heard this in his head and jumped out of bed to play it out on the piano. I think DJPLAYFUL1's right; it was around 3 or 4 AM.
omigoose, close your eyes and just listen... it sounds like he's singing to you in you ear!!! (or maybe im just really tired) but this is such a good song and andrew is soooo talented
I'm caught Somewhere in between Alive And living a dream. No peace Just clicking machines In the quiet of compazine. The walls caved in on me. And she sings My bird dressed in white. And she stings My arm in the night. I lay still Still I'm ready to fight. Have my lungs But you can't take my sight. The walls caved in Tonight. And out here I watch the sun circle the earth The marrows collide in rebirth In God's glory praise The spirit calls out from the caves. The walls fell and there I lay Saved.
i dont even agree with you (im a very causal mcmahon listener) but i completely understand how you feel about it. great things often only grow greater with time. especially with so much emotion like this music.
i feel like ever since thumbs up and down for comments came out, everyone tries to get a thumbs up so they say something they think is intelligent. lol
I've uploaded the full song on my channel, go have a look if you're interested. It's called "Caves - Jack's Mannequin (Full Studio Version)" you could just search it up if you're interested.
