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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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"
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
this song pierces my soul. period. :)

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".

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.

also one more thing

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
