  • I fucking love Modest Mouse.

  • Wasn't feeling particularly great today, found myself randomly listening through the moon and Antarctica then found my way to this song. Fucking hell what have I been missing. Heard this song once then learned it on bass. This song definitely fits the mood of this meandering depressed day.

  • @Hailtheplatypus the earlier the better, the old chestnut is true...............

  • It was different just not the high n hallucinatin I was lookin for. Ill have it to save it for the next time I just want somethin different

  • Everybody either says dramamines a nightmare or its the funnest shit ever. I couldnt decide, I was just a little impressed at first, cus I didnt expect to see too much out of the ordinary got to switchin back in forth from worried to relaxed, then it got me paranoid and pissed off cus I couldnt tell wat to expect, n I knew it wouldnt be over quickly, spent most fo the next day mostly sleepin, depressed , then I had fun, felt high I thougt" Ill have to do that shit again"

  • @choas95 but I wasnt impressed when it was over. maybe Im still high just not enough to trip. What I liked about it is its different. Maybe the thrill of not knowing wat to expect. So I loved and hated it. Thought maybe this next time itd be better......any suggestions? 

  • @choas95 yeah, take acid, or magic mushrooms. dyphenhydramine is a deliriant, not much fun taken in quantity.

  • I love this song so much. This whole album got me through a lot of shit. As stupid as that may sound.

  • i looooooooooooooooveeeeeeee thisssssssssssss sooonggggggg

  • Comment removed

  • I enjoy this song very much

  • perfect song when your on your comedown

  • I recall two things that happened after 18 drama's. One: I was in a desert, and this guy pulls up in this dune buggy, and its COVERED in speakers. Two: I was in new york, trying to convince my friend its okay if we go to a rated R movie, because my dad was there. All this time of course, I'm sitting in a video chair while my friend laughs at me, wondering what the fuck I'm talking about.

  • goddammit l love this band so much.

  • Dramamine is Benadryl's lazy brother.

  • This song is so amazing. That's not a word for it, Can't explain the way it makes me feel. Love Love Love<3

  • pretencious douche bag, i know i just spelt that wrong but ure such a douche u wud notice

  • the fuck? this song is about and named dramamine? What about the shadows that become cats and dogs, fight wars, then find peace and find sleep in their origins...

    tru story

  • PS: For those of you who assume Dramamine is some kind of illicit drug, it's not. It's just an OTC medication used to - surprise - prevent car sickness.

  • @thatRUGA but it is often abused for the effects of euphoria and hallucination. Though these effects are acute, it is easy to access and therefore commonly abused.

  • i don't have to get high like everyone else to feel the way they feel, when i listen to this song.

  • The guitar solo is almost exactly what the heaviness and insane hallucinations of dramamine feel like. I spent a whole summer on a mixture of Dramamine, Weed, Hydros, and Cough Syrup...Man that was a crazy summer! I remember once, on Halloween, Trying to have a conversation with my friends after we took 12 each and 2 hydros, I kept hallucinating they were saying shit, then I'd respond and they'd look at me like I was crazy! The part that fucks with me is, What if that was a hallucination too?

  • The music is SO good...but this is the WORST singer in the history of music. I can't believe Linnea loves them so much!

    

  • @MeIcarus52 nah man, with all the shit he's been through Isaac can sing however he wants! The mans a genius

  • @MeIcarus52 lol Isaac is what makes Modest Mouse what they are. His voice is more or less just a tool to portray the raw emotion behind all his songs, and he does that pretty damn well in my opinion. I guess you could go listen to mumford and son, OR any new song by modest mouse though if ya dont like this. xD

  • this song reminds me of that time in your room, you were bored and tired and put your arms up over your head and stretched, i saw your belt buckle and part of your stomach. i sat there and stared. my crush on you like a lump in my throat, choking me up, id never ever get it out. if i ever told you i liked you, i dont remember. i dont think i ever did. but i cant help but think of you when old modest mouse cds play.

  • Just so every one knows what Dramamine is... ITS A DRUG :D I took 20 of them. Thats a whole box. I ONLY WAY 120 POUNDS. So thats alot 4 MY SIZE. I ended up in the hospital that night because i was out and about in town and the cops founds me. BEST TRIP EVER

  • @7609888 DUDE YOUR SO FUCKEN COOL! ONLY 120 POUNDS? DAMN HI FIVE. YOU MUST GOT BITCHES

  • @7609888 wow. you sound like an idiot...

  • @7609888 is this katman

  • Comment removed

  • listend to this fror a solid hour while i was out boarding

  • @MrMagicbean5 I Do that every day bro.

  • @SHman555 Everyday? damn dont u Get sick after a while?

  • @niqhtm00n Nope

  • @niqhtm00n Everytime i try them, i feel like dry mouth. but like a sick feeling..but yea its pretty funny when u try it alot.. U like addicted to drama

  • a good song to listen to when im depressed and feel like fucking shit

  • @JNJChaos2 it kind of matches ur mood and it helps you at the same time :)

  • @deimoscrrazy yup

  • This song puts me in a mood to think about life ;)

  • This is really good modest mouse song. Any modest mouse song is better than 99% of all music

  • lol im on dramamine right now

  • i'll pound your ass hole with my cock, mrphillipengland!~

  • this song always makes me sad haha

    idk why

  • @itsleahdarling same here, not in a bad way though

  • I just wanna go on a long walk; or drive. And just keep going. Thinking of all the wrongs I've ever done in my life. Thinking of why I'm not a better person. Why I'm not as good as everyone I'm surrounded by; and how I could have gotten there if I had just made a few different choices. How I hate who I am; but at the same time I would never change. How I want to leave and never come back, even though I'll always be at home where I am. How none of this will ever make sense to anyone but me.
  • @love4ferrets Go for the long walk. I do it all the time. Sometimes I'm gone from home for 12-13 hours. I feel all emotion.

  • i have seen the other side of music and i can deffiantly say im alive!!!!!!

  • I love how calming this song is, if I do well in my exams I can pin it all on this band, it helps me think. Don't think I'm ever going to get bored of this album.

  • dramamine is one of the worst trips ive ever had.

  • @kurt2552  yep me too man. =\

  • why can't life be modest mouse

  • this is great to listen to while really fucking stoned....its also great sober too

  •  It puts me in such a good mood!!! great song

  • damn this song is depressing

  • I started using Diphenhydramine which is nearly exactly the same as Dramamine but with a higher potency to potentiate opiates. When I learned of it's "recreational value" (it's like being temporarily paranoid shizophrenic), I just had to try it. Out of every drug I have ever tried, this one is definitely the most powerful. Unfortunately, none of it's effects are actually desirable. I now use 50-100mg nightly as a sleep aid. It's somewhat relaxing in low doses.

  • @derekxnl I started understanding at the part "It's somewhat relaxing in low doses."

  • For those of you who know what dramamine is without looking up... POUND THAT SHIT!!

  • @mrphillipengland Uhh no. Ew. An entire box of benedryl says that your post is the nonexistent friend of my monkey named fred. Wait where'd fred go? Shit......no wait, he was right over there.......right?

  • @mrphillipengland

    Dramamine really is awesome... but i don't like the dry feeling after

  • @CooplBarney dramamine is alomst as bad as meth... that's exactly what this song is about... Pick up sum E man...

  • @Dub3LV Dramamine isn't even close to being as bad as meth. I'm a pharmacy technician, and where ever you got that from or whoever you got that from is completely wrong. E is almost as bad as meth if anything. E = C1 (schedule 1 drug under DEA) and dramamine = C5 which is why it is an OTC product, that in itself tells you which one is safe and which one isn't. Meth = C1 and so is E. Use your brain.

  • @Grave187RIP13 While I agree with you to an extent, classification has little to do with danger. Marijuana is a C1 drug as well, while cocaine is a C2 last I checked.

    MDMA is one of the safest drugs one can take.

  • @mugofdoom Um, no. Cocaine is a C1. The reason they're C1 drugs is simple. They have the highest possibility of being abused. And it's 100% true. Even if weed was legalized and used for medicinal purposes people who are using it for recreational purposes now will still use it. It's not about how horrible for you it is, it's the potential abuse that the FDA and DEA are worried about. And while cocaine is a C1 similar drugs in the caine class are C2's like Novocain.

  • @Grave187RIP13 Cocaine is a Schedule 2 drug in the US. I just looked it up. The reason for that is because Cocaine is used as a topical anesthetic, so that gives it some medicinal use, which means it no longer falls under Schedule 1 classification, which states that there is no medicinal use. My point is you can't use the classification to measure danger, or even potential for abuse. Marijuana and MDMA have almost no potential for abuse and almost no danger in use, yet they're both schedule 1.

  • @mugofdoom Um, no potential for abuse? EVERYONE WHO IS SMOKING POT JUST TO GET HIGH IS ABUSING IT. UNLESS THEY ARE STRICTLY USING IT FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES THEN THEY ARE ABUSING IT. And I have no clue where you got that coke is a C2, but it's not. Straight pure cocaine is not a C2.  Coke is used liked I previously stated in anesthetics mainly in the dental field, as in novocain. Seriously, use your brain.

  • @Grave187RIP13 CAPS LOCK MAKES MY POINTS MORE VALID. If you would take five seconds to google "cocaine", you would know it is indeed a Schedule 2 in the US (it's Schedule 1 in the UK, which would explain your confusion if you live there, I don't know where you live though). As for abuse, it's silly to say that using it in any other way than medicinal is abusing it. Abusing it would be using it in such a way that it harms yourself. If it's not harming you, there is no reason to call it abuse.

  • @Grave187RIP13 In any case you're more or less completely jumping around my point. My point is that classification does not have anything to do with the actual chemical. However it has everything to do with the political climate of the time any laws regarding the substance are passed. You cannot use the legal classification as any indicator of danger as it has proved time and time again to be based off of botched science and has been nothing more than an inhibitor to further research.

  • @mugofdoom I agree it does not indicate the danger of the drug, or the lack of danger for the matter.  But the point isn't danger, the point is the abuse. That is the whole reason for the scheduled classification.

  • @mugofdoom But regardless, even though weed will be very abused if legalized, I still believe it should, as for MDMA, I don't know. I haven't done enough research on it to make up my mind. If cannabis our economy would be so much better, and we'd be able to grow it for hemp and use the hemp for ourselves as well as an export instead of importing it and giving our money to China or wherever else we import hemp from.

  • @Grave187RIP13 I guess it all depends on your definition of abuse. I certainly don't agree with the government's definition for abuse. But in any case, I agree, cannabis should be fully legalized. I personally believe we should go the way of Portugal and decriminalize all drugs. The "War on Drugs" has proven to be a complete failure, and there really isn't any other way for us to go.

  • @Grave187RIP13 do cocaine everyday for a month

    then smoke cannabis everyday for a month

    after that drink atleast a bottle of vodka everyday for a month

    then tell me which drug you prefer...

  • @cw71017 And anyone would enjoy coke more, and I'll tell you why. Coke is a more addictive more powerful drug. It releases more serotonin in your brain, therefore you will automatically enjoy it more.

  • @Grave187RIP13 fine, then get a medical checkup and see which one has fucked you less

  • @cw71017 Well no shit weed will be the one with the least advert side effects. I never claimed it to be a harmful drug. You're totally missing what I am saying so stay out of this, you look like an idiot.

  • @cw71017 not a good idea bro, unless it's something you've already done

    cept for the weed part xD

  • @namenr00dles hahah yeh man, the weed part is definitely something i would do

    i've done the alcohol bit, just not the cocaine hahaha

  • @mugofdoom

    @Grave187RIP13

    can't you two see that your obviously living in different countries?

    one is calling them schedule I etc

    The other is calling them Class 1 etc

  • @cw71017 Um, no we are both from USA, but nice try bud.

  • @cw71017 His profile says he lives in the US sooooooooo

  • @Grave187RIP13 It's all politics, there is very little science behind it.

  • @jess1up Where did I say it wasn't?? Retard.

  • Comment removed

  • @jess1up Um, no if you actually read what I wrote I said that it has nothing to do with how harmful it is, but everything to do with potential for abuse dipshit.

  • Comment removed

  • @Dub3LV And no, that's not what the song is about... You're an idiot.

    It's nowhere near as bad as meth.

  • @mrphillipengland everyday. shit.

  • @mrphillipengland enlighten me on dramamine

  • @mrphillipengland You're a tool.

  • @mrphillipengland Dramamine sucks its for motion sickness which is why they have it at gas stations off interstate highways

  • My friends think Modest Mouse is a bad band cuz they listen to songs with no meaning but sex and drugs. Man I hate people like that.

  • @ohCRAPitsLUNCHtime yeah, you'll never make some people understand what there missing because they aren't deep enough to understand

  • Hey, mister CommunistNihilist.

    I'm sorry, I normally don't say that to unknown people, but I LOVE YOU! You always upload entirely my favorite albuns! You got a great taste in music and I thank you for giving me the possibility to enjoy great pieces of art everyday, from great artists like Modes Mouse and Radiohead!

  • At my school we play songs on the intercom that people usually hate because they haven't heard it on their stupid pop stations. This song is one of them. I heard somebody say "this song is gay, its terrible" all that bullcrap, i wanted to beat him up so bad for saying those lies.

  • @speedybill47 Fuck those people!

    Isaac Brock is god, they know not of what they speak.

  • @speedybill47 that makes me mad because this is one of my absolute favorite songs. i wouldve started cursing them out. modest mouse is basically my therapy, and i dont think people should say somethings terible just because they dont recognize the music, pr its different than what theyre used to. people these days.

  • @ksarahhk fuck cursing him out. id beat his ass

  • @Dunawan i might have. i dont normally do things like that, but i may have..

  • @speedybill47 Well the youth today are definitely more mainstream and boring, when people slam the songs you like just because they aren't "popular", shake your head and laugh at their ignorance. You don't need to beat them up, because they're already dead on the inside.

  • @OnJamesPlanet Right on.

  • @OnJamesPlanet I love that. You don't need to beat them up because they are already dead inside...well said.

  • @OnJamesPlanet

    People who don't see the brilliance in music that isn't plastered into their ears by the radio aren't 'already dead'. They haven't been born yet, in the sense of musical realizations.

  • @Bunechunk ;^) Nice!

  • @OnJamesPlanet i love you

  • @Sethdemasi But how would you board to this

    How

  • @OnJamesPlanet I'm 13 and so glad i'm not like other kids.

  • @OnJamesPlanet

    hipsters are even worse

  • @OnJamesPlanet cunt!!

  • @OnJamesPlanet not necessarily we have internet to find music and i know a lot of teens that dont like the mainstream shit i cant type anymore my computer cant handle it

  • Dramamine is for those who are sick of remembering the past... It is our escape

  • I just love this song. (:

  • Awesome song. I have tried dramamine 3 times: none of which were pleasent experiences. The best way I can describe the trip is living a dream. You can not distinguish between reality and non-reality The most noticeable effect for me were auditory hallucinations. Voices of your dearest friends, teachers, enemies, siblings. And most of the time you have conversations with them. And I experienced what I would call a mental hangover. Thoughts of suicide and severe anxiety. Do not do dramamine.

  • @Dunawan Really? are you sure it was dramamine? i thought dramamine was for motion sickness

  • @FlyMontag nevermind, i just looked it up.

  • @FlyMontag Yes, Dramamine is over the counter, which means it is labeled, and I most certainly can read. It was dramamine.

  • @Dunawan yes dude i know exactly what u mean, but i actually promot dramamine i actually enjoyed it lol

  • @THEFALLOFDAKOTA For me, the bad feelings outweigh the good. There were some enjoyable aspects to the trip. Its extremely dangerous to take high doses of things like this. I enjoy a nice blunt, and its far safer and a more pleasant experience for me so I guess ill just stick to reefer :p

  • I saw them in 2001 in San Francisco at the Great American Music Hall. I left 1. A different person, 2. A different guitar player, 3. A shut in who listened to music locked in his room.

  • i cant believe this masterpiece was recorded by a couple of 19 year olds. Issac is a legend

  • Dramamine is some heavy shit. This is a great song :)

  • This song triggers so many memories of long drives on the weekend.

  • you all should go check out shanepdonnelly's video for this, its epic.

  • makes me think.. allot

  • Comment removed

  • what a sick tune to open your debut album. pure class. every tickle of the drums is orgasmic!

  • seen them july 24th in ct.. opened the concert with this ...so good.

  • Does Modest Mouse still play this song live? About how much of their older stuff do they play?

  • @MuIdoon they play this song usually. it's pretty much half and half with old stuff (2000 and before) and new stuff (good news and on).

  • such good

  • yeah man dramamine is pretty stupid to do..i had my fun with it, then its just scary..you hear wierd shit and see wierd things..not even fun..just really fuckin.....wierd.

  • Love this song

  • Could there be a better way to live? Modest Mouse everyday all day?

  • this song isnt about purposely overdosing yourself on the anti seasickness medication, it's about being on a boat and throwing up due to nausea, which is what makes the guitar riffs so fucking cool

  • @brokeheartbroketooth i dont think this song is about throwing up on a boat. i think its about the hypocricies of the human relationship and the point when honesty starts shining through the clouds of politically correct politeness and pleasantries.

  • @cbeyer23 honestly throwing up on a boat?

  • @brokeheartbroketooth thats what you said. i think thats a little too literal

  • @cbeyer23 no its bout drugs numbnuts a lot of the songs by them were written on meth and shit my dude

  • @RoRapp66 for one thing, im not a 'dude' nor do i have nuts. secondly, if you really think that the only interpretation of songs is drugs drugs drugs, then you are kind of ignorant.

  • @brokeheartbroketooth No, you're retarded. It's about tripping on dramamine. Isaac himself stated that in an interview.

  • @brokeheartbroketooth it's about overdosing on dramamine. trust me, isaac brocks was (still?) had/has battled(s) with drugs. I say this because he's opened up about his past and says it's still an ongoing battle and you can tell how the music itself was created. I have had battles with pain pills in my past but I'm now happy to say I've found an herb that saved me from the path towards self destruction.

  • this reminds me of another one of their songs, but i can't quite place my finger on it. it feels like night on the sun, but i have no idea...

  • modest mouse mingles my metaphysical mind..... and im entirely too intergalactly high to make sense of this ordinaryily.

  • @sarahsa88

    I can dig it.

  • It's like ectasy, without all the magic and wonder.

  • So right.

  • GOD DAMN!! if this aint the song of the century then tell me what is!!!

  • @BMXorHOMICIDE The good times are killin me

  • @BMXorHOMICIDE Wasn't "A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing to Think About" last century?

  • @BMXorHOMICIDE Bukowski. :P

  • @BMXorHOMICIDE it is a very enrapturing tune

  • Comment removed

  • The audio is common...so is the feealing of being chased.

  • YO TAKING DRAMAMINE IS

    like being in some fucked up dream that's repeatin like a broken record

    that you just wanna escape from

    and slowly... you do.

  • @deftoned516 don't forget the audio of dead friends and the feeling of being chased by zombies,

  • @moztecka

    the 2 months I had discovered dramamine as a new cheaper "psychedelic" if you want to call it that, was 2 months of the most depressing times of my life. Dramamine is terrible, and I know what you mean with the audio. I found myself talking on the phone with a friend who had died in a car accident a week before. For those who thumb downed my last comment, this song is about tripping on dramamine, "Feeling spaced breathing out Listerine."

  • Deftoned is absolutely right but the people who thumbed down have not a slight idea what you're talking about.. dramamine is horrible.. (the drug not the song [love the song])

  • @M0destCasanova I see where people are coming from it is definitely very different then any other drug but I'm not sure I would say its inherently bad I have had some fun trips. Then again I also once thought I was in a concentration camp having a conversation with a dead friend.(Thats how I leaned not to take more than 17)

  • i love this song it's my myspace song!!!

    it's pretty chill

  • I could listen to this forever

  • "Fuck all you junkies and fuck your short memory!"

  • Best fucking band ever.

  • @Kykk Tool

  • i wouldnt call anyone taking dramamine a junkie........

  • enema! woo tool and modest mousee

  • @Kykk i love that song

    this one is awesome too :D

  • nice things can come from a pack or two of this stuff

  • Until I read these comments, I wasn't aware Dramamine could be used like that. I used to take it whenever I went on boats, and I certainly would get rather spaced out when I took it, but I never realized people could really trip on it.

    Anyways! Great song--this album is awesome.

  • i mean really dude listen to the song, read the lyrics, come on...

  • Fuck this song used to describe me when I used to do Dramamine all the time, i'd take like 5 of them and go backyard wrestle and im just happy im over it now....

    Kids never do dramamine and robo it will just mindfuck you and not in a good way.
