Modest Mouse - Florida

[ryanskywatkins]

I got one thing to say: fuuuck florduh!!

[naotacoon]

Lol Florida sucks

[donnyinlakai561]

James Mercer <3

[dweebcentric]

i was born and bred in florida and left for school. i'm nearly 10 years older than when i left, and there's little things i miss. especially now that i live in the hustle and bustle of goddamned washington, dc.

[peteskeeno]

i coulndt remember if i took my heart-cooked brain out of gas and through it so directly at the goal

[drumslayer27]

live in florida and love it lol, but still cool song

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

when this song came out i had just moved to florida after high school and had no fing idea what i was doing with my life and lived with my nazi dragon lady bitch of a cousin. eventually i made a plan to get the fuck out there. listened to this album the whole way down interstate 95 as i got the fuck out of the florida.

[obsessivechickx]

I fucking love modest mouse!

[MrMusashiden]

my ex called me a hipster for liking modest mouse

[LFiggins13]

@MrMusashiden kill her

[RatherCrunchyMuffin]

@MrMusashiden that mightve been true seven or eight years ago

[homandavidj]

people that live in florida shouldnt feel special. he's talking about tryin to get away from florida lol. Far away from florida wasnt far enough for him to forget

[momakesgoodmeatloaf]

Whoot for all of us in FLORIDA

[bloodvein3]

i should slap the 4 bitch ass people that disliked this.

[uRnotGOODLikeME]

i could have my mind erased and still know exactly what band rocks my man socks

[brazilianwonder101]

it took so much effort not to make an effort

[jackfn1234]

i accidentally my scrotum



[xBillyTheKidx]

this thing reminds me of a talking heads song.

[logaritmusnaturalis]

Sorry for the "aren't doesn't" part

[logaritmusnaturalis]

@logaritmusnaturalis Another faktor might also be that the older songs aren't doesn't have music videos.

[gibsta269]

@logaritmusnaturalis are you referring to this song when you say that?

[logaritmusnaturalis]

@gibsta269 Yes, i consider this song as one of the best made by MM.

[gibsta269]

@logaritmusnaturalis well i agree with you on that part, but you are very wrong in your other post... this is from their newest LP in 2007. Their most popular songs are definitely from Good News for People who love Bad News (i.e Float On) which came out in 03.

[logaritmusnaturalis]

@gibsta269 I should have read more about this instead of making the assumption of the song being older because it didn't have a music-video, thank you for correcting me. I don't really understand your last statement, could you explain further. Couldn't it be because the old songs doesn't have music videos?

The songs that do have a music video seem to be much more popular on youtube.

[vanhouten64]

I am only listening to this song because I saw on facebook that this girl I used to like likes this band. I have not heard of them previously.

[oTsJamesy]

@vanhouten64 cool story bro

[hybirdew123]

modest mouse should be named as the best damn band of the mother efing world i cant belieive people dont listen to the normally im the one thats hig but dude youve never heard of mm are you high?

[provotrout1]

gotta love the minky. If there's a band out there that deserves the $ and recognition it's them. hats off to these gents.. good work :)

[pawpawnorth]

1:11 is that an 808?

[woojam13]

I'm from Florida.. and it's AWESOME!

[LiquidNeonMusic]

I came to Florida as a Rat to get my Education.

[GreyAlaska]

@LiquidNeonMusic I see what you did there.

[swashbucklery]

@miss9starr7 no U2 sounds like shit. this doesn't.

sorry for the hate but please don't be so ignorant.

yay for this song, boo for u2

[leneontigre]

*sarcastica*

[TheDarklord45]

@miss9starr7 not even close

[miss9starr7]

[Vininn126]

@miss9starr7 *facepalm*

[KibasLilAngel]

@NoNipples99 You're my hero, bro. **Brofist.**

[Lobodomy69]

To me this song is like weed: always awesome, but incredibly beautiful and it blows your mind the first time :P

[MrShenaniganss]

My god. How could music be this good?

[TheHowl77]

@MrShenaniganss Because it's Modest Mouse, duh.

[electric090]

I live in Texas so I named my house Florida so that I can blast this song everytime I leave my house!

[Imogley1234]

Thumbs Up if you live in Florida

[Korndude4561]

Sounds like Zoo Station by U2 at the chorus

[FerretxMagic]

xD great song

Greetings from a MM fan in FL ^^

[crayZtaco7]

@icemunster

hahaha i will recieve them with great pride. haha

[BeastyPanther]

I listened to this song,.......even as i left floridaaaaaa.......

[onceuponameago]

This is the best song ever. I'm blasting this through my speakers next time I leave Florida. Can't wait! :D

[TOEJAMxDRK]

Fukn ay

[bojoTCS]

if anyone can suggest a better song ill give them a hug

[crayZtaco7]

@bojoTCS

life like weeds by modust mouse

[blackmanpancakes]

@bojoTCS i came as a rat... i can haz hugz too??

[TravenV]

Strange enough I heard this song right after I was living in Florida for awhile XD, I know the song means more than that, but it was odd for me.

[CerealDefender]

This song is the bestest! Simply cause I am the biggest Modest Mouse fan in Florida! :D

[Bluewhale88888888888]

even as i left florida YEEE HAAA!!!

[remywood81]

Best song on that album, and the whole album is classic.

[TheHatersRevolution]

This song is a bit overproduced, but hey it happens. I still dig it.

[andyjohn35]

if your a huge MM fan like i am you might like emily wells a very good music artist undiscovered look her up on youtube you potheads haha!

[conkedup]

I'd have to say... this album probably rates up there along with my favorite MM albums.

[brettrobinson101]

@conkedup this is their best album for sure.....followed by the moon and antarctica

[M3iscool]

Modest mouse plays "my music" not their music, all of it matches me perfectly, the sound, the words, everything.

[iamhollywood545]

@M3iscool You and me both. A fantastic soundtrack to my life.

[tfld55]

Woot! 100th Like!

[NmHman127Nugget]

I think sometimes.... I want to kill myself....but then I hear artistic people play songs that I have trouble ignoring because I want to join them to discuss German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Life is always worth it. and I'm glad modest mouse exists so that I don't have to do their job.

[highflyer7337]

damn them boys went hard on this one ha XD love it

[allwedoistake]

i live in florida.. so chill. MLIB

[robalsager]

:) i love

[DIGFOOL]

oops same comment twice

[lukep424]

1:50 to 2:12 is just positively orgasmic

[gongo09]

@lukep424 Yea it is, fucking amazing. When I first heard this, I was like "oh hey another good mm son...WTF was that!? That was amazing"

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

johnny marr tears it up in this.

[DIGFOOL]

@equallyeasilyfuqyou it was only eargasmic for me T.T

[YanniseGee]

i fucking love this.

[chrismoss420]

why does everyone argue on this? You are all clearly mm fans and if your not get the fuck

[EZnewby]

Does anyone else think that Modest Mouse can sometimes sound like Cage the Elephant? or Vis-versa?

[niggernoize]

modest mouse you my only friend, thankyou

[sozseatstaken]

love your name, clearly a huge mm fan ahah

[cashewsarewhack]

@niggernoize

AMEN.

[nosoypendeja]

@niggernoize hahahahaha lol oh and lmao

[Wisdamatic]

@niggernoize ABAZABA

[TheRtunnell]

@niggernoize Dat B sad.

[railsk8ter]

anyone know where i can get the ringtone for this

[yeilyn32]

XDD lolz it sounded like he was dying still like modest house though XDD

[youcantmakestars]

such a pretty song. so glad i can be addicted to this instead of things like weed and be just as happy *replays song*

[horsex5]

@youcantmakestars Yeah but your only completely happy with a belly full O spunk :-p

[DRNEGOLICIS]

lmao i like how he sings and the bass is bad ass on this one had the walls shakeing here

[jhardhouse]

florida is full of disfunctional fucks...

[352hardcor]

@jhardhouse im in florida and im a dysfunctional fuck... so yea ur right

[yanceyslade]

i used to have sex with my girlfriend to this CD all the time when it came out, good times, good album, great band.

[DirkMcgee]

Modest Mouse did alternative music right.

[yanceyslade]

there is no defining great bands by genre, great bands make their own genre, thus we have bands like modest mouse, who there is no band to compare too @DirkMcgee

[mellowtonen]

@sozseatstaken Man I hate arguing on here but Lonesome Crowded West defines true indie rock, in now way did it suck, if you like the new stuff over the old than you must not appreciate raw unpolished artistic music. The new stuff is really over produced and polished, though it's still decent.

[x96123]

i looooooooooooove! 1:50 - 2:12 ..its amazing! and the hard bass in it, gosh, words cant even explain the amazingness of it!

[dozer2143]

favorite modest mouse song

[Genericjinxx526]

gotta love James Mercers backing vocals :D

[Zetax22]

im back... gotta love them modest mouses

[RantzOn]

The bassline in this is driving me crazy.

Freaking love modest mouse

[tecwolfen]

I agree from the first day I heard this song XD

[Jazzman256]

Wow arguing on the internet is like running in the special Olympics, even if you win you are still retarded. Thanks OP for posting the song, perfect quality.

[Paan987654321]

If we are gonna comment from now on can we make it about MODEST MOUSE and the fucking!!!! Song

[solelylost]

B&R'd. M town

[Zetax22]

moreeeeee like.... lonley bastards who love to bicker and whine...

:3

[Zetax22]

i think that you just joined the fag wagon by caring enough to post, welcome aboard!

[utwatkanye]

wow your all gay, the song is awesome, but your all gay

[dos1943]

ZETAX IS FAIL

AND THERE FIRST GIG WAS NOT IN FLORIDA

IT WAS in issaquah washington near where there from seattle

[Zetax22]

hey fucker! i said first gig IN florida

go learn to read

[daftpunx234]

I love this song, especially seeing I moved to my current place of residence, from Florida. Kind of takes me back, I guess.

[Zetax22]

this is dissing florida man, if you listen to the lyrics, its hard to interpret his words but its poetry man poetry :D

i just wish people would stop being posers and only like float on and those songs when modest mouse has at least 40-60 songs XD

[daftpunx234]

Um, how do you figure it's dissing Florida? I'm not saying you're wrong, but there's nothing to make it look like you're right either.

[Zetax22]

oh just listen to the lyrics,

and if you read the band bio it says how when they had their first gig in florida, those assholes cut them off stage becuase they weren't BIG at the time...

[SmoothHourglass]

@Zetax22 they have over 100 at least

[lemxume]

Haa, the first minute of it feels like an opening theme to some anime. I love it <3

[swimrunt314]

Great song!

[Idontknow60]

This song has been stuck in my head all day. It was the first time I didn't mind having a song stuck in my head. I accidentally started singing the section from 1:50 - 2:12 on my way to work, but then realized the pitchy mess that came out of my mouth is best hidden from the world. Anyway, to sum it up, awesome song by a brilliant band.

[badforbrain]

i spent 3 days singing that part over and over

[tobiusfunke]

Probably my favorite song on the album.

[yorylein]

me to !

[Elastikid]

I wonder what this song is about?

[ArmyOf3]

chorus best thing written ever

[Musik1017]

in before fail....oops, too late

[rootsrooney]

This song always make me very happy, bloody brilliant!! love everything they have ever made!!!

[musicshag]

The most underrated song on the album, it beats Dashboard(I do like that song as well) by far

[menliketwilightto]

i agree

[daftpunx234]

This song always reminds me of when I lived in Florida.

[allbymysmelf]

I wonder why!

[sdrawkcabtonmi]

this song is amazing

[chloethechloe]

god they are so awesome!

[jbertclassic]

As a huge modest mouse fan, these comments make me sick. This is nothing more than a mediocre song on their worst album. All of MM's brilliancy was in their early years, captured in albums like Lonesome Crowded West, and The Moon & Antarctica.

This album is an inconsistent, mainstream, letdown to MM fans everywhere.

[matthias417]

ill never understand why "mainstream" has become such an insult

i really like how you skipped a line to get youre point across

good work

[jbertclassic]

Mainstream wasn't always an insult. In the 90s, amazingly the most popular music was the best at that time.

Now, mainstream represents the listening preference of a generation who adores NickelBack, Hinder, and other god-awful bands.

Point is, most people who love this album wouldn't even give M&A or Lonesome Crowded West a chance. So clearly MM has changed and accomodated different fans. That's fine, just a bad accomodation in my opinion.

There's only 2 good songs on this whole CD.

[SocialDeviant77]

I find there is only one track on this CD that I don't care for. To each his own.

[Zetax22]

i know what you mean... i hate it when people are posers :D

but anyway yeah i love modest mouse because they aren't trying to go all pop and please the crowd, and plus brock's lyrics are very well thought out and make sense :3

[Zetax22]

lol you can't argue if your a dumb ass, you can't even spell shoved, so i don't think i'll bother to explain myself, i never even attacked you, and you shouldn't have taken this as an attack on you man so just chill...

and learn to spell

[Rayn0rrr]

hahahahahaha EPIC FAIL TO ZETAX22!!!!! "If your a dumbass" So I'm assuming it's HIS dumbass? hahahaha

I just love youtube and making friends in the comment box :)

[Rayn0rrr]

hahahaha thats a good one

[Rayn0rrr]

bigger mouths make for bigger falls, you can insult me but after all these posts you made, redemption is going to be hard buddy :)

Oh and that insult was really good though, kudos!

[Zetax22]

its the fucking interweb, you don't take anything seriously on here... I have better things to do then have a duel of words with someone i don't know or give a fuck about...

lols on redemption... are we in fucking seminary school now?

lets just stop... just stop

[Zetax22]

holy fuck i just realized that they EVEN have SPELL CHECK on here!!!!

dumbass

[dos1943]

ur browser makes spell check dumbASS

[doom876]

First, you are a moron. Mainstream isn't bad, bad bands being mainstream is. MM is a good band, and this is an amazing CD, and Florida is one of the best songs on it.

I wish you were really here so I could tell you to shove that opinion up your ass to your face.

[DRNEGOLICIS]

@doom876 ive never seen the CD only the LP vynil lol im thinking of buying it

[TomTheSkateboarder]

I love Modest Mouse sooo much, there so epically good.

[tropicalia115]

Part of my current soundtrack.

[Jangles524]

This band is sooooo underrated. a lot of people hear this voice and check out, but its really original, and the lyrics and sound is fucking awesome. Modest Mouse rocks, second favorite band in the world next to Tool xD

[Fischbeck1]

love this song. and, favorite album cover ever!

[melovesyou26]

favorite modest mouse song ever.

[ItallstartswithH]

Sometimes I think Modest Mouse follows me around and makes songs about my life.

[sozseatstaken]

they probably do.

[peaceouter101]

Thats pretty deep.

But I would have to say that Modest Mouse really does capture the essence of many peoples struggles in life.

They rock.

[ItallstartswithH]

This album came out just as I left Florida.

It took alot of effort not to make an effort.

[sage0fsixpaths1]

@ItallstartswithH

^this

[CHErevolucion1]

badass

[TheTriggy]

perfect

[ALMOSThadthat]

this song is awesome!

[hellogoodbye0853]
