Cloud Cult - Take Your Medicine Lyrics

This is my absolute favorite Cloud Cult song

Jenna Alt me too 😃

This song carried me through being trans and in the closet, for like 10+ years. let me give out some words from one gal to the next. There's nothing wrong with you, and you don't owe the world an explanation. None of them ever really had one for themselves anyways. If you're not ready I get it, but those feelings don't end up going away, believe me I tried EVERYTHING. The world didn't end when I came out, it got a lot harder, but now, now it's worth the work.

SUCK UP AND TAKE UR MEDICINE

this is medicine

as an addict and human being this speaks to me so deeply. i cry almost every time i hear it,

So many years later and I'm still listening! :D

So grateful for the effort Craig and Cloud Cult put into their music in order to bring more positivity into this world. I can't imagine the number of lives they've improved with even a single song like this. Thank you Thank you!!

we found / beautiful babies / sleeping in our ribs / get them in the light. <3

Probably one of the most influential songs to hit my life. Been listening to them for 4 years, on and off.

I can always depend on Cloud Cult.

music is my medicine

This song just says « it's a good day to face the hard things » right. It's helped. It will again, I just know it. Thank you Cloud Cult !

all hail the glow cloud

I love Cloud Cult! They are so good.... My parents grew up in school with them. Also my dad's friend played one concert with them!

I didn't kill myself when i was a teenager cuz of this song...

+trance jones Hugs to you...

+trance jones about the same but cuz of this band

these are things i keep hidden in my body.

So inspiring & helpful is an honest life reckoning like what I felt in this free deeper experience I had today @ www.NewMessage.org/the-rays-of-initiation "You prepare by recognizing the truth About your life In a moment of great clarity and sobriety. You take stock of where you are. You recognize That you are lost in the world Following the prescriptions of your culture And of those people Who influence you so strongly."

one of my favourites. have loved this band for years.

I am most definitely a cloud

Everybody here is a cloud.

+John Smith (The Doctor)
I'm a rainbow! ^-^

Gives me chills to the bone

those chills are my reason to stay on my feet. 

Holy shit this is beautiful I found a new band.for my favorite hand listen!

welcome to the cult!

When the Meaning of 8 came out, my local radio station played this song (I was new to listening to the station as well), I immediately went on-line, looked up the song and bought the album, little did I know it would change my life.

Check out why Craig makes his music, he tries to be positive, and some times you can see the darkness in his songs. He lost his child, and devoted his life to music and is keeping his child alive through that.

Some times?

Same here, great stuff...highly inspiring.

This has to be may favorite Cloud Cult song...

13 people didn't want to take their medicine.

almost all of cloud cults music is inspiring

Why the hell has that comment got negative votes!? Seriously, there's nothign wrong with what you said, why's it been blocked by hate?

@MrSandman9151 - Thanks to you I have a new song to obsess over for a while (:

@NotStuckJustResting Uh...there's been proof of that around since y'know...the late 90's. I don't even live in Minnesota and I know it has one of the best music scenes in the country... which is why I'm moving there.

if you just found this group check out the song "lucky today", it is good as well. cloud cult is one of my favorite bands :D that is my other favorite song

great song, also just wondering where can i get the image thats in the backround i really like it

addicted to this song

@Sunnasala13 i know...

@MaRkIpArK Tom admitted to borrowing the tune for indigo on his VYou. He says its not stealing!

this is so reminiscent of indigo by tom milsom :)

This is proof that there is more than corn fields in Minnesota. YAY!

ever since my mom borrowed a cd from a friend ive been in love with the band...

@cuki03 I concur, as it is in fact possible that gay people can make awesome music like this.

If they could come to Tokyo then I wouldn't feel like I'm here for no reason.

10 people didnt take there medicine ;D

I DO listen to cloud cult all day.

I could listen to Cloud Cult all day

Hi I'm from Asia and this band rocks!

nice. u come to the Netherlands anytime soon ?

I just saw them yesterday for a free show! and it was awesome, they just casually walked in the front door and we got to meet them!!! They are so nice, GO MINNESOTA

@Tessamphicyon They'll be on East Coast tour end of May

@spectacularrx52 @itsaturtleknockout Oh haha! XD

Indigo by Tom milsom? Just sound like that to me. Though this was probably made before that.

10 people couldn't take the medicine. >_<

how have I not known of this band's existance until yesterday? They're straight massive, how have I let my life be so incomplete these past few years?

great song!! If you like this check out the song "In every mirror" by danish act Inouwee.

duluthhh

I agree! One of the best newer bands! I love them live!

they sound similar to early modest mouse just less aggressive and more organized sounding

They are better live and I mean it. It just sounds amazing and so real compared to others who perform live. I saw them last week!

@momo4peaches they are great...

I listen to this song whenever life feels too much to handle, whenever the world seems a dark and senseless place. This song is gives me strength. It is medicine for my soul.

This song does not fit into any genre I listen to, but I pulls tears to my eyes everytime I hear it.

just found out about a lil bit ago 2!

What album is this? I've seen this for Kid Cudi

hidden in my belly.

@stitchedplate41 The MAN doing lead vocals is Craig Minowa.

Saw them live last night for the second time. This song is amazing live, and the band really is amazing in concert

I love the end of this song.Such a perfect end and song all together

HA! I was there too. :-) (Just for them, not the convention.) The venue sucked, but they still rocked it.

Badass song.

cool cloud cult .

Well, rough outlines should definitely be possible. For example, take a good book, or series. Err... A series of unfortunate events, by Lemony Snicket. The plot is quite simple, if you cut out the writing style, character complications, etc.. You'll end up with about this:

Three siblings lose home and parents, evil madman is after the money the parents left and does anything to get it.

I don't know, but even you could think that up in less than five minutes, likely with more detail than that.

this is nothing like what im used to listening to and i listen to everything , it's a weirdly amazingly beautiful song

@pinkfloydpatrick I do character designs on the spur of the moment when inspired, while just the name can take me days if I'm not feeling good. It's not that hard if you're creative. :3

He-he, you have that talent too? Sign of an artist. I love it.

i want to dance to this song..

This song causes energy to radiate through me :))))

i love this song!!!!!!!!!! one of my best friends can play it almost perfect without sheet music for piano!!!! luv you haley :D!!!!!!!!!!!!

these guys actually suck. no offensive to any of the fans, but their melodies with vocals just dont go together.

its too mediocurrrrr

Love you guys so much: just the best.

Wow, never heard of this band until today, but man, good song. =) Love it.

Not a fan of Cloud Cult as a whole, but I'm addicted to this song now~~~

great song

I was at that show most amazing concert i have been to

i saw them with ice palace and margot and the nuclear so&so's last night. it was amazinggg<333

this song was amazing they were even better when i saw them march 29!!! 09

me too, cloud cult rocks!!!

This song is sick.

ya this is really good, was it in any ski/snowboard vids? I know i've heard it somewhere.

he's name was Kaidin...

you are dumb. He was two.

I heard that they never found out why the son died. He just went to sleep one night and didn't wale up.

Wow i see that the esurance commercial got them some fans. :)

yeah, agreed :D

No, he was two, look it up.

actually Vactom his son was 8 when he died hence the album the meaning of 8

The whole "i broke up with my girl friend then i fell threw some ice" story, is because Cloud Cult was formed after Craig - the songwriter's son died. He wrote over a hundred songs showing his pain. His son was only two :(

Great song and band but whats with all the " i broke up with my girl friend then i fell threw some ice" story??

i agree

might be my favorite song.

gotta love this song! when life gives you lemons, suck on em! itll give u candy if u do!

shit man, this song makes sense. freekin, the lyrics are so that I can relate directly to them. Man, my mother is so insane, she tried to make me take pills and shit, and years back, I always said I'll be better next time, over and over again, and stuff. Dude, they are brilliant!

It's all about the music!
