MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

This song was going the distance
on alternative radio
February 26th, 1997.

Cake.

“The Distance.”

(Music Cut #2)

The driver in this song is obsessed with winning.

So obsessed…
he doesn’t even realize
the race ended a long time ago
and everyone else has gone home.

(Music Cut #3)

It’s not really about racing.

It’s about chasing something
long after it’s already passed you by.

In other words —
the race isn’t the race.

It’s a mid-life crisis.

(Music Cut #4)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“The arena is empty, except for one man
Still driving and striving as fast as he can.” — Cake
