My brother got to hear these guys out in Seattle in a park. The drummer's house was across the street and they suddenly came on the PA. He was on a 3 month moped journey across America and he says it was one on the best days of the trip. He called me when it happened and I screamed like a girl out of jealousy, having loved these guys since 14 and getting him into most of their music. This is the band people will remember when we look back before music killed by shitty fads.

aw man this song was the best when i was 17. great band. on an older song like this, they maintain a certain rustic recording qualiy that i think suits the band well. by the time the album with two hands shaking on it came out, that recording sound was gone. anyway, great band. are they still this good? i guess i could go listen and find out. however, it's not the same as being 17 and suddenly discovering modest mouse. i can never get that back. isaac brock: virtuouso lyricist.
@TheSarahFishers If you're referring to The Moon & Antarctica you should really listen to it. It's my favourite Modest Mouse album. The lo-fi sound does suite MM quite well but their later stuff is still phenomenal, even though their latest album is my least favourite. Seriously, just listen to 3rd Planet, guarantee you'll be hooked. That song is incredible, just like this band. I honestly consider these the best band of the past 15 years.
this song i think is about a miserable prom date, and how miserable it is when everybody gets there. buncha nerdy guys standing awkwardly on the sidelines. i think. maybe im wrong.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@godmaybefunky It makes it okay to hate your life since you've just listened to garbo like this.. and yes LOLSYDNEYY i do get goosebumps everytime i listen to this, i also shudder in disgust.
@MrFongsong Whoa kid calm down, just because you suck at life and nobody likes you for being a shallow tool doesn't mean you have to rage about it. Just accept yourself for the useless moron you are and stop trying to have opinions about stuff and maybe your own mother will finally start answering your calls again.
See usually I would be mad at such an idiotic comment but this song is so beautiful and profound it calms me down enough to want to help out this pathetic loser instead.
A nice heart and a white suit and a baby blue sedan, and I am doing the best that I can. All the eunichs they were standing in rows singing "Please stud us out just as fast as you possibly can." Sad song last dance and no one knows who the band was, and Henry, you dance like a wooden Indian. She said this one mattered and I felt it had a spirit, and I shot the story 'cause I didn't hear it that way. And it's hard to be a human being, and it's harder as anything else....
........and im lonesome when you're around and im never lonesome when im by myself....and i miss you when you're around, and i miss you when you're around, and i miss you when you're around.......
a good song for all of you with mental disorders...depression...lack of interest in life...lack of social energy....lack of the power to commit suicide and the philosophy to just live out your days happy or not. in pain or not. to forget about the meanings of those kind of words and not label your current condition with those positive/negative terms. to forget about social development....and to die as an animal...as it was ment.
lol, you got ALL that from the lyrics of this song, huh? Perhaps you are looking a little too deeply here. Seems to me to be a song of melancoly and of lost relationships, but what do I know, I love the melody.
This song perfectly describes whats going on in my life right now. Just broke up with my girlfriend, she just "lost interest in me". I dont feel bad when I'm by myself but when I see her I feel like complete shit. And its true nothing is harder than being a human being :(
Fuck you. If you thought any song from modest mouse would be good for juno you deserve to be shot.That movie ruined a david bowie track and the moldy peaches. You should becontent with that. i hope your moped gets a flat tire while you are going 40 miles per hour.
this song is so amazing.
such beautiful lyrics that i could relate to.

Isaac Brock has to be one of the greatest lyricists alive right now.
MM's whole catalog is amazing, and all the instruments complement his voice and the moods of the songs.
Also, there's always beautiful vocal harmonies
