Cake - Never There

“Never There” was the first single off of Cake’s third album Prolonging the Magic in 1998. It spent 3 weeks at the top spot on the Modern Rock Tracks, making it a pretty big single.
What I like about “Never There”, and I guess most Cake songs, is that the music is just a tad upbeat, while the lyrics are pretty much depressing, but always manage to speak the truth. Their a clever band.
Check out the video, if you forgot the song.
Oh yeah, the video is pretty entertaining as well.

2 opinions for Cake - Never There

When this song first came out I didn’t like it that much. Although I LOVE Cake. Now I sort of do like it. I guess I was surprised it was such a successful single, when they have better songs IMO. I’d never seen the video though - what the heck - cowboy truckers! That would not have helped me like the song back then.

For some reason, that always happens when you’re a fan. I don’t know, maybe when you’re a fan sometimes you expect more.
I think the cowboy trucker look makes this video, maybe that’s why it was so big.
Oh yeah, FNM’s version of “Easy” is awesome.
