  • Pushed it over the edge we'd have all been through,

    Well first off Gary got drunk fell asleep in his car til about noon

    Flat Top Tony got all messed up split his lip chasing cheap perfume

    Well look at our boat in the bay it looks like some sad ass little canoe

    What does this mean???????!!!!!!!!

  • @ajwalsh333 My only guess is that it provides humorous contrast. We are at the peak of technology with computers satellites etc, and yet we still have these stupid little personal situations etc in spit of that.

    Again, just a guess

  • James Mercer needed to be in this Period

  • from Franze Ferdinand I run into Modest Mouse! Both are exceptional bands!

  • Comment removed

  • really? two drummers?

  • great song like the guitar

  • Ahh no wonder the second voice sounded so familiar

  • Modest Mouse+James Mercer=can't miss

  • thumbs up if there was no 3:50

  • @Kazenokakera and a "douche" comment is a douche comment?

  • U2 , Modest mouse?

    piss off, modest mouse are fuckin real rock and roll, herion heads , fuck saint bono

  • in my retrospect, Isaac is simply saying how much we've relied on science, when down to the very basics of science; it's all theory. Science is literally one big theory with a bunch of theories around it, if you ask me none of it can be true this way so i'm not sure what to believe, and Isaac probably feels the same way. So, what he's saying is people's beliefs over it, how medicine "cures" people, how we travel, and everything that relates with the subject.

  • 38 people got nothing

  • They should have had James Mercer in the video

  • And they used to have such amazing lyrics...

    What happened?

  • Modest Mouse is just like U2, except for being better lyricist, musicians, having a completely different style, having a singer who isn't a d-bag, and everything else.

  • @pawpawnorth then again edge is really all pedals but johnny and Isaac actually can play some really good guitar. i think modest mouse is a bit more better than U2.

  • Comment removed

  • Pitbull wants everything, but Modest Mouse has already got everything

  • i love the drum beat

  • This is a logical point of view saying we have almost did everything possible on this planet that can help anybody needs or wants. It's just a "POV" people no need to ague or debate about meanings of certain songs. Also while I'm on the subject a person's "POV" doesn’t matter unless it stands for certain meaning in a certain period of time. For example what I am saying right now is my point of view and I don't care what people think of this. Ok now you people should have a better perspective

  • @thrswag you know im not sure what the lyrics mean but i could care less. sometimes ts fun to figure out but with songs like this its best to just enjoy it especially when the lyrics are too cryptic.

  • glad that i stumbled upon this song. Goes well with the summer

  • @bearclawnumber5 Surely "Summer" would go best with summer?

  • My friend, who is a HUGE MM fan, hates this song for being overly simplistic. BULLSH*T!!!!

  • This is truly the best band ever this band has fantastic music that's original that's not so stupid like modern music and original. I love the way all of there song's messages are metaphorically like in this it appeals to me that he's not talking about himself but mankind in general of all the things we did and figured out. "We carried it out to sea pushed it over the edge" as the ship was taking off he sang that part. We kept with exploring and we broke through mankind's boundaries.

  • ive loved this song since it came out years back..

    at first, i read other MM fan comments saying that they didnt like this song or the direction modest mouse was headed in.

    688,737 views and 1,123 'likes' later, i think people have come to appreciate this song the same way i did when it was first released :)

  • I can't get enough!

  • @olafvisser just don't comment at all then.

  • i hate all these fuckin idiots commenting about how much they love about it and crying their eyes out over it. just listen to the music dammit.

  • @Koofoopk; Then what the fuck should people comment about? About how they fucking have an opinion about something and how everyone else's opinion on the subject is shit?

  • @olafvisser i agrre with you hes a idiot

    

  • Does anybody know Isaac Brock's address?

  • @iloveKianaDexter

    thats weird...

  • @iloveKianaDexter He was born and raised and still lives in Missoula, MT. My hometown and the best ski bum town in the world. They are playing here in a week!!!!!

  • @MrBlondeEmo That's not true at all. He was born in Montana, but Helena, not Missoula. He then lived in Issaquah until the band formed and he now lives in Portland (my city).

  • @iloveKianaDexter 123 fake st.

  • 37 people don't have everything.

  • I love wearing their shirt to school, and having everyone come up to me to give high five's... only took a few months of informing my whole school about them.

    it brings a large smile to my face :'D

  • @1Notyetdone1 your entire scool must have been living under a rock to not have heard of modest mouse

  • i find them to be like the band spoon in a way . agreed?

  • @buttbounce318 What The Fuck? No.

  • Whoa they have two drummers? I was just discussing with my friend the other day if that would even be possible. Apparently it is.

  • Excellent job!

  • i happen to love this song i strongly hate everything about people making modest mouse into rap! :'(

  • @superduperman71 there not being turned into rap...there next album is being PRODUCED by a rapper. and he was in the group called outkast. and there really good actually.

  • Crimen Sollicitationis

  • 37 people missed the like button.

  • 2:10 - 2:42 wow : O

  • Their worst video but such a good song

  • Why have I not heard this before?

  • James Mercer sings backing vocals on this song. Combination of awesome artists.

  • @scarotts Im afraid most people dont know who James Mercer is o.o :P But the voice sounded really familiar to me, like it was on the tip of my tongue... And I do agree, it is an excellent combination :D

  • Mainstream or not who cares, modest mouse kicks ass. Isn't that all that matters?

  • monkeys!

  • its really funny readiing these comments arguing on whether modest mouse is mainstream or not... they have some older good songs, and some newer ones. they are what they are, so stop filling in every one of their videos with that crap. that is all.

  • @theoneuntied you missed my quotations around "mainstream"

  • for some reason i feel as if this song really puts life into perspective... even though i dont understand it at all... i love modest mouse XD

  • @variationsthereof im not sure if anyone fully understands modest mouse's lyrics, but you still now there meaningfull

  • I'm a huge Modest Mouse fan, but I'm just astonished at how ignorant most of them are.

    Modest Mouse is great, but honestly, they're not popular, which is the sad thing. Trust me. I know. Great bands like these don't even ring a bell at my school, and this is coming from a 7th grader.

  • @NeptuneMS385 Yes! Finnally some one from the young generation. Carry it out little one!

  • why cant you people just enjoy the music you like? do you need to be the only one that listens to a band so you can like it? thats just like searching music for its popularity... relax ppl :D

  • Everyone sounds like a hipster in the comments " so MAINSTREAM." XD

    I agree they`ve gained much more popularity , but I dont mind if they are mainstream. In fact , more youths these days need more beautiful lyrics and unique sound like this than the auto-tuned bullshit filling their brains.

  • I like the anchors on the balloons. Nice touch.

  • I really like this song, btw fuck justin bieber.

  • @atomisk19 whooo caressss?? We're listening to Modest Mouse. Not Justin Beiber. Really there was no need to bring him up. Nobody cares. That's stupid.

  • i HATE how its become so mainstream :(

  • @RayneChick411 hipster kitty upset?

  • Modest Mouse has some good songs this being my favorite.. but has anyone realized some of them are just plain terrible.??

  • youtube trolls be trollin'. It's like showing up in Israel to paint a swastika. If you don't like something you should try indifference.

  • Nova science now! for reals check it out on PBS, and no I'm not a PBS shill.

  • 35 people do not got everything

  • Look at our band. Tell us if we suck.

    chris jeffries and the plastic fantastic lover RETARDED COWBOYS MUSIC VIDEO

  • Music is music people. This is my favorite band of all time. But, I barely listen to indie rock and I do like a lot of mainstream shit. Listen here people, you aren't cool if you don't listen to mainstream music so STFU. God, I'm so sick of hearing/reading about your crap. Who gives a fuck if people like commercial music. ENJOY MUSIC!

  • Everyone is commercial radio and television brainwashed. Were the "home of the brave" but we all grow up taught to fear. And the only comfort people find now a days is what our government puts out, and feeds to our society, call me a radical, but im a realist. God bless <3 and throw away your tv

  • "Well, look at our boat in the bay; it looks like some sad ass little canoe."

    I love that line.

  • Backing from Pablo the fox, sweet

  • So I'm sitting here right, listening to some Modest Mouse. I decide to read the comments. If this is not the THE most pointless argument I've ever read...

  • @yourstandardtoaster Your not on about me are you im not arguing lol becuase i cant argue with someone who makes no sense and i dont think he is arguing either.to be honest.

  • Eargasm. 

  • how'd you make this? Computer program?

  • "yet we try again.." Indeed XD. Anyways the guitars riffs on this song are incredible, love it.

  • mainstream, underground, only time mainstream sucks is when you love a band or song and suddenly everyones listening to it and your stuck looking like you're just following along with everone else.

  • So upbeat and just amazing, such contrast in their music.

  • i'm usually into hip hop but i got to say, modest mouse has a new fan :)

  • thumbs up if you think modest mouse and marijuana are like peanut butter and jelly!

  • what album is this

  • @awbrown91 We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank

  • Johnny Marr is the MAN!

  • greatest. damn. band. ever.

  • great band.

    thnks.

  • James Mercer's voice makes this song.

  • 31 people got nothin. Hows it feel?

  • modest mouse are the greatest indian act since johnny cash

  • @dansin2100 indie. not indian.

  • @dansin2100 Modest mouse is indian???!!!!

  • pure crap. 

  • 31 people hate having everything

  • I love Eric's bass in this video!

  • @moldmakertoad

    YEAH, we should all go listen to Miley Cyrus and Justin bieber and all that other shitty mainstream crap on the radios nowadays! (extreme sarcasm)

  • @DemonPazuzu666 You think that you are smarter than everyone else because you listen to modest mouse. I know your type. This IS mainstream music. Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus is music for 12 yr olds. Everyone knows that. Modest Mouse is music for 20 yr olds. Music is music. I just dont like this music. I guess you are so smart that you can tell everyone in the world how they should enjoy music.

  • @drakequake100

    I know it's mainstream music and no I do not think I'm better or smarter than peaple who listen to Miley Cyrus, He said Modest mouse sucks and I said my own way of "no u".

  • @DemonPazuzu666 they arent really mainstream. ask people if they like MM and they'll say "who"? then you say the band that made float on and they say "oooh ya, that band". MM isnt mainstream just a couple songs r. and i dont think they are any worse just because they're popular.

  • @drakequake100 Oh so that's why you hear Modest Mouse playing so much at college bars. Please, 20 year olds, on large, listen to Miley and Bieber (and other pathetic crap) much, much, much more than they listen to the Mouse. Most people that age have no idea who Modest Mouse is.

  • @DemonPazuzu666

    oh i thought u were serious

  • @DemonPazuzu666 modest mouse is mainstream now

  • @manwarcow just because they are more popular than they used to be doesn't mean they are "mainstream". and surely doesn't make them able to be categorized in the likes of today's "mainstream" bands

  • @dallas2denton well i define mainstream by who listens to the music and it isnt uncommon for the average teen to love modest moust. especially float on. im not taking anything away from mm because there undoubtubley an amazing band

  • @manwarcow see, i'm not friends with any teenagers. so i don't to hear that bs ;)

  • @DemonPazuzu666 it's not shitty just because you don't like it.

  • @Feignable

    Of course not, it's shit when the person uses autotune to cover there terrible singing voice,or when they can't write their own lyrics, or when the song is the same song about partying, breaking up with a boy/girl, trying to get a boy/girlfriend (or any other boring pussy thing in the same category), or when they can't even use a real instrument. No, that's when it's shitty and last I checked MM don't use autotune, they write their own stuff, and they use instruments.

  • @DemonPazuzu666 no, it's not shitty if you don't like it, it's shitty if NO ONE likes it, to each their own. leave prejudices at the door. thanks.

  • @Feignable

    If that's the case then nothing is shitty.

  • @moldmakertoad You're ears must be broken. Sucks to be you, bro.

  • @moldmakertoad

    ...cool story bro.

  • What kinda guitar is that?

  • nice one. but it is was it is and the rest is snot.

  • damn thanks for writing me a song! woopsy

  • really? no response to my comments? i tried to enter the fight and got rejected. = (

    IGNORE ME!!!

  • @m3iscoolerthanyou Sorry,... Hey you dick, who the hell do you think you are anyway!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • @8sk8r Bit hard to find a response there now ol' chap?

    Well lets not ruin the comment section anymore, cheers all!

  • @Jazzbard to be fair, your point is valid but you did say you had nothing else to say.

  • @domnage

    You're right, my bad, I'll shush from now on then.

  • Comment removed

  • @8sk8r no matter how many times u say shit like that, it STILL isnt a good comeback.

    oh BTW: I WILL BEND YOUR MOTHER OVER MY KNEE, SHAVE HER ASS, ROLL THE HAIR INTO A BLUNT AND MAKE U SMOKE IT FOR BEING A TROLL ON MM MUSIC!

  • @8sk8r you're the reason aids was invented.

  • @domnage You should be a professional comedian!!!!!

  • @8sk8r r u a proffesional asshole or just a gifted amatuer?

  • @8sk8r DIGFOOL is a different profile i have i use them both to comment

  • Comment removed

  • @8sk8r i suppose you're so used to receiving insults you subconsciously interpret them as jokes, but yeah I'm pretty funny.

  • Comment removed

  • @8sk8r if u think MM is bad u shouldn't come on the commont page and ruin other peoples enjoymeny of the song. If u dont like it i dont care thats ur own problem. MM is the only band i have ever heard that can bring so much emotion out. if u dont like it then u just dont get it :P

  • Comment removed

  • @Jazzbard

    I sure do.

  • @8sk8r your mom is retarded and shitty

  • @GIFT1FROM1THE1GODZ :FINALLY someone intelligent on this thing !!!! Thank You for your comment!!!!!

  • @8sk8r lol

  • I'm going to Justin Bieber concert. But here's the catch, I will bring 3 friends with 4 cans of silly string each, and we will spray the stage and then take off. It will be awesome. And we are throwing another water bottle at it.

  • One of the greatest musical discoveries in years. Modest mouse is THE SHIT

  • Comment removed

  • HOW WE GOT IT ALLL!!!!

  • im glad this isnt mainstream because honestly the fact not too many people listen to them is one of the things thats makes them great.... well i think and thumbs up if you agree ^.^ d

  • @ihavevideoatoo i wish more people listened to them just so i'd have more people to talk about how great they are with

  • @raybo1984 I agree, I feel like I'm the only person in England who knows who they are. Everyone I ask just doesn't know what they're missing out on. :(

  • @ihavevideoatoo thats not true. bands like led zepplin and pink floyd were mainstream a long time ago, the fact that a band is mainstream doesnt make it bad, its just that mainstream today is terrible.

  • @Lobodomy69 your name isn't spelt right

  • @blueorchid1100 actually im also a death metal fan. i listen to a band named 'Children of Bodom' and they have a song called lobodomy (instead of lobotomy) :P

  • @Lobodomy69 zeppelin and pink floyd are still amazing and probably still sell more reccords then modest mouse though i so love modest mouse i would not say there were as talented as older bands. The Beatles stood the the test of time.. i doubt MM will

  • @cpullen1212 MM will stand against time. they're in the great category because they became successful in the age of mainstream, w/out adjusting to anyone's needs. they're unique and creative in a time where you really don't have to be. It's not always "how many records you sell in your career" I would rather be unique,creative and inspiring than be in a group like KISS or any ballet band!

  • @optimisticcosmic I wish this was true, but society does not attend to those who are unique and creative, STILL i just hope they are always around

  • @optimisticcosmic agreed mate.KISS is a disgrace to Rock n Roll

  • @optimisticcosmic im only going to download them for free anyway... now they are going mainstream.

  • @rinsindishes what does mainstream do

  • @M0A0R0k00W0Y0L0D0E illegally download

  • @optimisticcosmic I hope they do because i really like them and hope they continue to make great music.

  • @optimisticcosmic I fully agree but please never mention "KISS" ever again...the govt. should build a giant toilet and flush KISS down it and anything resembling them. Now you got me talking about them, shame on you.

  • @optimisticcosmic The sad part is that modest mouse will be remembered for this song, and Float On. It's too bad nobody bothers listening to their 97' album "This is a long drive for somebody with nothing to think about"

    Songs like Breakthrough, and Custom Concern, and Dramamine are what they should be remembered for.

  • @Lobodomy69 I agree. Any asshole who proclaims that any mainstream music is off the spot bad is a douchebag. Music is MUSIC! Get with it!

  • modest mouse is the bomb!
