Love the old stuff. Love the new stuff. Cool to see growth in an artist with such talent and not afraid to mix things up.

[beaumont]

I will listen to whatever Shakey puts out. The man is ridiculously talented. New, old, simple or fully produced. Keep up the awesome work

[Sarah-cybc]

I feel like Shakey is one of those artists who makes art for the art and not for an audience and I respect that so hard. You can like some of his material more than others if you so choose but you can’t tell this man he’s wrong for the art he chose to create. Keep doing you, Shakey. That’s how artists stay real.

[hunterjf]

Easily my favorite album of the year, and one on my favorite songs on the album. I love that you can see he isn't taking himself too seriously in the video and is having fun with it. The album has an amazing dreamy ethereal feel to it which he really plays into at live shows. Not being afraid to experiment, and still making great music shows how truly talented he is as an artist.

[marcosamartinez]

... damn - my son has to listen this - what an awesome take on the journey of those teenage years and that vulnerable invincibility

[alexyrosa]

I was listening to this song all the time when I moved to uni. I got remembrances of me just riding my bike, discovering life and simply being happy.
6 years later, i still have trouble getting over it, acceptin that i become an adult.
Nostalgia hits so hard.
Thank you Shakey for helping me to have a beautiful youth

[scepticalminds]

Someone doesn't have to adhere to what is expected of them, experimenting is good! This new album is amazing if you let go of the your expectations for more traditional folky vibes (which I love too). I like new shakey, I like old shakey!

[animemaddie]

Still love my Shakey tattoo, his music is forever engraved in my heart.

[demiperez]

6 years ago he said he'd be changing up and had a lot in store to offer. I love him no matter what because he's a raw, honest to goodness artist.

Lyrics: (by azlyrics)
I'm too young to die
Gonna live forever
I just wanna talk tough, look mean
Life is good at 17

One thing that I know is that
You don't know a thing
About me
You were the young, dumb, chosen one
Now you shake your head and say
Kids these days

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?

Wasted all the time
Nothing lasts forever
Maybe I should give up the good fight
Change my image overnight

One thing that I know is that
You don't know a thing
About me
I am the young, dumb, chosen one
Losing in the loveliest way
Kids these days

Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?

Adolescent intuition
Murder on the rise
Make an easy million
Blow it in a night
Tell that I'm pretty
Tell me that I'm nice
I know you can see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
You can see it in my eyes
See it in my eyes

Everybody tries
Tries to be somebody
To be somebody's wet dream, prom king
Golden boy, new toy
Mirror, mirror, on the wall
What's the meaning of it all?

Life is a honeymoon phase
Kids these days
Kids these days
Kids these days

I love this song. I heard it for the first time at my job in PUMA, i love when this song plays while I’m working 🤙

[fmm]

i just love loveee playing this cassette super loud and taking back roads, nothing else will give me chills as much as shakey’s music- new and old <3

[Wendy-unhl]

I love Shakey. Screw those people who try to put him in a box.

[Brandon-jlgm]

hes a beast on his own without a doubt. but shakey shines no matter what. his great songwriting shines when more musicians are involved.

[thebridge]

Wish we could have Shakey back in the studio, but will take seeing him live tomorrow as a consolation!

[joeleytrick]

As a musician, it is difficult to stay in the "bubble" of a certain era of writing. I look back on stuff I wrote 2 years ago and see how things have changed since that time. I don't blame Shakey for doing different material, I hate the feeling of being musically stagnant.

[SevenBowls]

I don't get how people always feel compelled to say what's right or wrong about artistic choices. You can't tell an artist what to do.
You either appreciate it or go away.
By the way I dig it! Beautiful work! I'm definitely gonna buy the album!

[maddy]

all of the negative comments saying they hate the change in sound clearly haven't listened to the whole album or watched any interviews.... the artist is mixing things up a bit, and he has a right to artistic freedom. I think he has done a wonderful job at keeping spirits high in his music. Music shouldn't be about what others want, but the expression of the artists and having good times. Wonderful job! (i love all of the metaphors in the music video, great stuff)

[mishymm]

Love Shakey anyway! The song has a message, most of you aren't getting it. Old stuff new stuff this soul has talent. ❤️

[roxannemcmeekan]
