  • this song pierces my soul. period. :)

  • 3:25 to 3:55 soo great!

  • i like how they have meaning in their songs beyond things like love and breakup and backingit up with terrible music doesent help either

  • Love the song, and the music video was really nice.

  • i love it! and i also love how that guy wears the bunny outfit!

  • love it

  • i lol'd, but inappropriate.

  • lolololol

  • its been a week so i decided to post and keep the ocean breathing salty...

  • great !!!!

  • I love this song it is awsome

  • awesome song!

  • this song is beautiful!

    yeah!!!

  • like this song :)

    didnt know this one was a popular they made :P only popular one i knew of was float on and dashboard but man ive listened to just about all of modest mouses shit been listening to them since they basically converted from ugly casanova to modest mouse :D

  • I wish people would like there other music besides the "float on" and this song but there still gooood songs

  • i agree with you

  • :( makes me sad..

    love this band..

  • love this music video... its awesome. and its to the best modest mopuse song too!

  • Comment removed

  • What a downer, but one of my favorite Modest Mouse songs.

  • theres a squirrel a rabbit a crow and what is the green thing?

  • I can play this song both guitar...but not at same time lol

  • This is by far the best Modest Mouse song I've ever heard. I haven't heard it in ages and I heard it yesterday and had to find it. But I forgot it was a Modest Mouse song and it frustrated me.lol

  • you crazy. the older albums are so much better. (imho) lol

  • Even though,this song gets me. It's about a boy without a father figure who tries to replace it with everything he can.

    It's also the whole joy from being a child which just gets to me and makes me happy.

  • hell yeah. It's still a great song, it's even a great album. I was just joking cause you said "the best" instead of "my favorite".

    The verse gets on my nerves with that keyboard riff but it's a great song.

    My fave from the album was The View

  • I said it's the best Modest Mouse song I've ever heard. I haven't heard everything from them. Even still,I'd probably still love this one most.

    I like the whole song. The keyboard riff is catchy and just beautiful to me.

    The View,that's good. I think Float On is good,but it's overplayed.

  • nahh to me good news for people who loves bad news was there best album to me

    there older stuffs good

    i just didnt really like the way it sounded

    but for me modest mouse isnt about the sound its about the meaning of the song

  • if it's more about the meaning for you I think you should really get into the older stuff, like the fruit that ate itself, which is a masterpiece.

  • yea i like the fruit that ate itself

    and everywhere & his nasty parlour tricks was a really meaningfull album

  • Well! Well! WELLLLL!

  • The proper thing to do is listen to the entire album in a closed room. It is put together in a way that is so different, but great. Man there are a lot of replies.

  • haha id rather not lock myself in a room haha

    but i know what you mean

    to understand it completly you have to actually listen to it

  • This song and the video made me really sad..

    it was really really good but =/

  • i like this song. its really chill and the lyrics are really deep. very good song from modest mouse.

  • that is one giant fucking bird, that kid must be HELLA STRONG.

  • i wish yous would all shut the fuck up

  • hey lets all fight on facebook!

  • down below...seems as though there is a little too much aggression going on in here. enjoy the music.

  • well all I said was whoever says this song is sad, didnt get the point of it, and for some reason people who cant read (or write) went off on a rant...

  • peaople who like to say what they think got pissed at you and now your acting like an asshole dont suck that dick too hard or youll rip it off and their are worse writers than me asshole

  • yeah coz they didnt graduate like you dickweed and now theyll spend the rest of their lives working in a fucking warehouse making in one year what I make in a month lol, and all I said you dipshit was that whoever thought this song was sad is a dumbfuck and obviously you are..

  • who said you had to graduated to learn how to write or read ass people are entitled to their own opinion or are you not a blind faith-full christan? I just said people have that right and they should not care what you say

  • by god man youre a daft bastard... faithfull christian? lol ahh Ill just not say anything after this, theres so many contradictions in you I actually feel bad for calling you names I do believe you might be slightly retarded...

  • note I said "Blid faithful not I am a blind fainthful because christan people are evil but dont realise it they say their so good and forgiving but take god for example he sent an angle to tern a whole toen into pillars of sult for being "bad" but compare that to any other mythologey and you will see just how obsesed people are with their own voice to see this

  • kiss my ass lol

  • music, like any form of art, is always open to interpretation.

    and yes, it seems as though this place has become an asylum for the ranting.

    live and let live.

  • dont getme wrong I love this song first modest mouse song I heard but this guy has no requierment to act like an ass just cous peaple are saying what they think

  • whoa whoah whoa whoa relax. come alil smart first, and then say your piece. otherwise stop talking.

  • then dies

  • hey hey hey right then dies, but i dont want you to die and that is important for me so you relax killer take it easy and take care bro.

  • is that a thret????

  • yes asshole its a threat... -_-

  • your the one acting like an asshole and I quote "all you little fags saying this song is depressing totally missed the point of it... and yes you are fags, and probably emos too"

  • yes and I stand by that dipshit, if you think its a sad song you didnt understand it and you are probably an emo because you look for sadness in everything without understanding that there must be an equal balance of it in all things in life like ying and yang dumb motherfucking cocksucker... and yes emos are fags.. goddamn youre a dense bastard.

  • no I hate emos because none are even "emotinaley challenged" like they so love to say I never said this song was sad just that people have their opinion and your acting like yours is the onley one that counts

  • that is.... turn away the mess you make.... please stop talking.

  • Such a beautiful video:)

  • all you little fags saying this song is depressing totally missed the point of it... and yes you are fags, and probably emos too.

  • you think some one cares what you say? espesualley emos? unless their poser but your a dumbass anyway

  • you should learn how to spell, especially since youre probably a cock sucker anyway.

  • like you would know me you little fucking disease going online just to call people fags or emo you mack yourself sound like a coch suck monkey-ass looking donkey-show-star

  • lol

  • loveee this song!

  • This music video actually brings a few tears to my eyes.

  • i love this song but it kind of makes me want to kill myself

  • wow..

  • A video that compliments the musicmanship completely

  • I love this music video so much.

    That little kid is so adorable and I always felt bad for him. :(

  • verrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy depressing.... *sits in room for two days*

  • holy crap i used to listen to this song non stop when it came out. i totally forgot about it until i started randomly listening to all their stuff. love modest mouse

  • ur depressing, jk, but seriously i love brukowski too!

  • I COMPLETELY AGREE i love there song brukowsiki (i hope i spelt it right lol)

  • Comment removed

  • also one more thing

    when you die, you're supposed to die.

    thats repped by the guy/crow/thing with the broken arm

    he got hurt, but he still lived

    because he wasnt supposed to die.

    but he was living his life.

    /still just my interpretation

  • We waste so much time in our lives worrying about what's after all this, wasting so much time trying to make sure everything is all right, and everything goes perfect.

    This isnt how we should live, we should live freely.

    let not worry about death.

    do what yu want, even if it is risky,

    if it makes you happy it doesnt matter.

    when you die you wont know it, so just live

    and accept death as part of your life

    /what this song means to me

  • wut r they sopose to be at 3:23 a raven a bunny a squirrel and wut?

  • i think its a rat

  • "sopose"

    what are you.. five?

  • wow amazing theres more after float on i love this song it makes you think and be happy and makes you accept death and you dide and you onlyknow what happens when you are dead

  • damn havent thought about this song in a while...I always liked the line "you wasted life why wouldnt you waste the afterlife" you could say that about many people...love the song one of my fav mm songs

  • ROBOTMAN AND MONICA!!!!!!!!!! washington highschool!!

  • by the way im prettty sure the song is about how everyone wastes their whole life with religon and beliefs that arent even real. so if you waste your life with all of these things that might not even be real you might as well do it when you are dead

    " good luck for your sake i hope heaven and hell are really tehre but i wouldnt hold my breath you wasted life why wouldnt you wate the after life"

  • I think that there are a few ways that you could interperate this song. kick ass song regardless.

  • i 100% agree

  • lol why are people afraid to die? When you die, you cease to exist, so you wont know you are dead! DUH!!!

  • thats the way you see it.

  • no, thats a scientific FACT

  • 8=D is also a scientific FACT :D

  • wow is that actual size? and is it disconnected at the tip? douchefag

  • Could also be interpreted as being materialistic and shallow like western culture is wasting your life. Either way great song.

  • such a good fucking song

  • wow shut the fuck up people, you kids are such god damn losers. Id like to kick every one of your stupid asses you faggots. *shakes fist furiously*

  • u cant beat me im made of water 70% so stfu

  • i get it.

  • but i could be wrong*

  • no i think your pretty stupid for saying that snight. if i'm not mistaken its about one of his best friends commiting suicide. but i couldb

  • what the song about

  • real funny douche bag

  • that reminds me of the kooks and red hot chili peppers. beautiful! :)

  • great song, the video is wonderfull

  • I like this video a lot

  • lol, he's wearing a bunny hat :P

  • You missed when Time and Life shook hands and said goodbye.

  • I feel like crying, the song, the video. Its so beautiful and sad, but true

  • I remember this song from when it came out. ive thought about it forever and tired everything to remember who sang it.

  • saw them live it was amazing

  • tingles. :)

  • man, this band is amazing.

    i was supposed to get tickets to go to their show in Austin coming up.. but they sold out fucking fast, if anyone has an extra ticket please pm me!

  • no... their songs are awesome. and compared to your ball sucking videos, they are the songs that are gods gift to earth.

  • they are gods gift to earth anyways

  • hhaahaha i know

  • their songs are a god gifts to earth i will see you in hell(i laughed at Stephan Lynche's special olympics) these is the music god gave us(god and i am an atheist

  • dudes this is saying this band rocks and admiting im going to hell

  • The ocean Breaths "salty"

    In your head in your mouth in your soul...

    Life always turns back on a whiplash.

    The video Shows us the true nature of the song.

    Just... Sad.......

  • i think modest mouse and the beatles are similar in that they both challenge the musical standards for their time. but as far as direct comparisons, not so much

  • this is a great song i love modest mouse...... and

    thatkidvitya right it sounds a little like the beatles

  • beatles sound in there? anyone hearing it?

  • what is this song talking about? the lyrics are beautiful but I don't understand them. I never do :/

    modest mouse needs to be given more credit for their work. they're outstanding.

  • I listen/watch this every night before I go to sleep. Super amazing song/video.

  • i just listen to this song over and over. i love it :)

  • Yay modest mouse! wher is this vid shot? i think its france?

  • both, the song and the video are overwhelmingly beautiful..

    and, of course, modest mouse are one of a kind !

  • thats issacs son and that my little cousin

  • How can I do to stop loving this song?!!

    I can't stop Loving it!!!

  • Ahh, I love modest mouse...I miss when this video was on tv, it always made me feel so good when it came on. I absolutely love the song, and the video is so CUTE!! The bird man...the boy...the whole video has wonderfully deep imagery.

    The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind.

    <3

  • beautifully strange, and strangely beautiful, I love modest mouse:D

  • My best friend and I used to play our tapes of music videos after school and we had to stop playing this one because it would always, always make me cry. It's amazing.

  • This song reminds me of a mushroom trip somehow. It's fantastically beautiful.

  • great song

  • Awesome song :)

  • This is gotta be one of the best songs ever. Its like heroin for your ears.

  • gadzooks; i love these guys like bobby brown on has browns.

    sorry, im a little, uh...'happy' at the moment.

  • ((: i love modest mouse ((:

  • He does have a lisp.

  • i think issac brock has a lisp...

    i love modest mouse...and i still do just as much...just pointing it out.

    listen to the last couple of seconds of this vid and watch the way his mouth moves...u'll see it too!

  • yeah, he does. Check out the live video on Kraig Kilborne, it's very apparent.

  • Listen to some of their older stuff it's very apparent

  • true that spike

  • this song was the shit live

  • why does everyone try to explain what the video means? It has a different meaning for everyone

  • you all have good ideas. this song is about isaac brocks friend dying. and the video is prolly different things like the boy is alone and all hes lookin for is a friend and everything he loves leaves him in the end. or his dad left and hes lookin for a father figure but just like the animals and the father figures leave also. could be manythings.

  • or maybe everything good only last a short time :/

  • its kinda sad caus what if the boys dad died and that bird was like a dad to him

  • WOW you are stupid rumpket. Good News For People Who Love Bad News is album. Nice try to sound smart though.

  • Wow, you are stupid. Good News is the album. Nice try to sound smart though.

  • Great video... But poster, this is NOT from Good News from Bad People... Unless thats Modest Mouses new name.

  • err Good News For People Who Love Bad News

  • thats the album name silly

    and its good news for people who love bad news

  • Beautiful vid.

    AWESOME song. :'(

  • The kid wants a friend he could have forever...so finds himself little pets along the way...and at the end all his dead pets come back to say goodbye once more...the video is a metaphore for trying to find the one to love and stay with forever...you know...like a girlfriend one that you'll eventually marry...and die with...

  • Plus it is taken from the wall by pink floyd. the overbearing mother and the bird which dies is the same as the rat which dies that way in the wall.

  • Ha...you saw that movie too? good flick...and yes your absolutley right...

  • that was the scariest movie I have seen in my life, good tunes though...

  • ...I dont reeally get the story can someone explain it to me? idk y i feel sad after watching this video.

  • :'( great song but depressing.:'(

  • 'Will you tell me what you saw and ill tell you what you missed"

    Thats a very good line i think...

  • ive never seen isaac brock so happy. It's kinda strange.

  • I have a feeling this kid is what Forest Gump would have been like if he hadn't found Jenny.

  • that movie is awesome it makes me cry even tho im a guy

  • me 2

  • hmmm mayb!sad!

  • This song is amazing, and the video is so sad. What's with them and sad videos...

  • I'm not positive but I doubt the people in the band have a lot of say when Sony decides they need to make a new video. It seems like a hoop they have to jump through more than them creating something, but that's just me, they might think making videos is great.

  • Love this song. The little kid in this video is so cute. It's so sad when he's deaming and then he wakes up and he's all lonely. =(

  • Modest Mouse is awesome! This video is kinda weird but cool.

  • wow... the drummer's bunny suit just made this video so much better. lol modest mouse gets eternal <3!

  • i love this song and video so much.

  • love this fucking band.

    kick ass song.
