  • never thought such a depressing song could sound so good. 

  • I get that people are trying to be funny saying I raped the repeat button, but rape is nothing to joke about. I used to think it was funny, then someone very close to me was actually raped, my whole outlook changed very quickly

  • @TheErikDane Well I think rape jokes are funny and I'm entitled to think that.

  • @TheErikDane good for you

  • I can't stop raping the repeat button

  • Drank away the rest of the day now... can I drink away this DWI??

  • best add ever

  • a lot of MM's contemporaries compromise the meaning of their lyrics in the name of letting the delivery make an impact. MM is able to say what they mean to say and say it in a way that is very powerful.

  • Iron Horse does a killer rendition of this most wonderful Modest Mouse classic

  • @mlynch11 Don't get me wrong, I'm an almost obsessed MM fan. But in this case, I'm really not sure if I prefer Iron Horse's or MM's. Iron Horse did that good of a job.

  • Music isn't a competition... but if it was, Modest Mouse would win.

  • fav

  • How can anyone not like this tune? Not the best Modest Mouse tune. But maybe the most likable. Especially after you've drank away part of the day. Wish I could drink away part of every day.

  • when ppl ask me how I'm doing, I like to respond "you know, drinking away the part of the day I cannot sleep away, you know how it goes" and just let the chips fall where they may..

  • little hobby of mine.

  • I'm Tryin, I'm Tryin to figure out how could anyone possible dislike this.

  • "I'm trying, im trying to drink away the part of the day

    That I cannot sleep away" - me too

  • This song is so spectacularly awesome.

  • All you guys are wrong. All music sucks compared to the spice girls. Fuck all of you

  • @CK3890 agreed!

  • Comment removed

  • @logaritmusnaturalis I was making satire of all these people comparing bands.....

  • @knfraw idiotic enough? you just said you aren't even aware of weezer's other albums.. all the while modest mouse is putting out great music to this very day. please tell me how THAT is a fair analysis

  • @dumbwcracker i agree. but, not to mention that rivers cuomo views the pinkerton album as some of his worst work due to the criticism it received.. yet, all these modest mouse fans on this video say it was by far their best. i think that right there says a lot about weezer and their ideology on music as a whole

  • listening to this high is the greatest

  • weezer cannot compare to such beauty.

  • This shit goes hard

  • @seksisbad sho nuff!

  • It amazes me how often a debate of X vs Z ends up on these videos. Perhaps people should start appreciating the music for what it is and not downplaying it because of such and such else. Or perhaps people just have way too much time on their hands...

  • @Alleykat0087 Dude X has been doin' it since before Z was even a letter. X is superior in every way bro, just look at his early stuff...

  • I love drugs

  • @Trainwreck1415 i love you.. Trainwreck, XJ-13 and Green Crack. 

  • @mrspic that's pretty much the only point i was trying to make with that comparison. nice try or something..

  • @jameswheelz before saying non sense, maybe scroll through pages of comments and check out the conversation that the ten month old comment you replied to started. oh, and i dont think it ended up being a stupid argument.

  • 6 people didn't manage to drink away the part of the day that they couldn't sleep away

  • To be fair, Weezer's Pinkerton and Blue album (I'm not familiar with their other stuff) are fucking brilliant. I love Modest Mouse too, probably more, but I'd never be idiotic enough to say that Weezer aren't on MM's level.

  • @KnfRaw

    Drop dead lol

  • @Svitlo37 Grow up. If you've got nothing constructive to contribute, just shut up. You clearly know nothing. Unless you can give me a valid reason as to why Weezer are bad, be quiet. Child.

  • @KnfRaw Pinkerton was the fucking bomb, I love it, perhaps even more than The Lonesome Crowded West. But they're both excellent albums. :)

  • @IDontUsePicks Agreed! They are both fantastic albums!

  • modest mouse is that band i listen to when im having a shitty day and somehow they cheer me up. ive been getting more into them recently though

  • MODEST MOUSE IS AWESOME

    was that good enough for a thumbs up?

    no? failed again

  • @Snake4213 Thumbs up. Just felt like making someone happy. lol

  • if you are a modest mouse or beck fan, check out my band Hurry, a Solar Bear. we look at these two artists as our biggest inspirations, and mutual fans will appreciate us. we now have a facebook and a demo up :D

  • Music isn't a competition... it's about expression.

  • @monkeychickenbeasty you know what, you are 100% correct on that.

  • @monkeychickenbeasty if it was modest mouse would win

  • @T34MUnKn0wn System of a down is a brilliant band...

    as is modest mouse. idk what that guy said, but you shouldn't put down any band with such talent, fucking hypocrite.

  • @woodmountain68 its called comedy bud, deal with it. and also if you think that opinion doesn't shape personality, then your in trouble.

  • My favorite. Depressing song but makes me feel better about things.

  • I'm trying to drink away the part of the day that I cannot sleep away...sad when true...love this modest mouse song, they're all good but this one really does it for me

  • @knowledgefarmer

    Just because it's not the same as yours? Wow.

    This is an amazing song though. (: Weezer AND Modest Mouse and great.

  • @OmgAZ0mbie Okay... you say don't bash other bands... and then you tell people not to be open to NIRVANA?! What sad universe do you live in? Ain't it a shame!

  • @PanoplyCabaret I thought it was a little funny. I am actually a Nirvana fan. Just tabbed All Apologies about a week ago. Not up on the internet, so you just have to take my word on it. I do live in a sad universe thanks for noticing. Also not trolling just agreeing ;)

  • @OmgAZ0mbie Your humour confuses. 

  • @PanoplyCabaret As it should

  • anybody knows anything about physics and math? Notice the lyrics and names of the songs...

  • Somehow i always knew good music would save the world. Please learn about the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project.................. well of course first TURN IT UP!

  • why must people compare art?

  • @Playdohisedible its sad right?

  • @pinkpopjenny534 that it is

  • Soad=modest mouse, soad>weezer, Modestmouse>weezer, Weezer> most other shit.

  • @T34MUnKn0wn Believe it or not, SOAD and Modest Mouse are my two equally favorite bands of all time.

  • Stop arguing about which band is better, you know neither is better. It just depends on what mood you are in and what your musical tastes are. So much negativity around, just chill and enjoy the music.

  • Have you guys heard, Charlie Sheen wants to change this song from polar opposites to "winning" opposites

  • @B1ushMoe Fuck Charlie Sheen.

  • @B1ushMoe have you heard, you just won the worst joke of the year award!

  • Weezer isn't bad. They have done great things for music. But when matters of comparison arise, especially between them and mm, i don't think their aptitudes even skim the surface of the ocean that is modest mouse.

  • Lalalalalalala

  • Why is the comparison even being made between Weezer and Modest Mouse?? I don't get it. Who cares?

  • Weezer is good, but they're a cheesy ass cover band compared to MM.

  • @SeldomSeenSmith77 Hey! Today, yes, weezer is horrendous, but with the blue album, they created a masterpiece.

  • I'm trying to shoot away the part of the day I can't think away

  • I like Weezer

  • Modest mouse , Radiohead, and blur best bands ever dick ya mouth so its fuck what you say

  • @myspacecomrogiie

    You can't use Lil Wayne Lyrics on a modest mouse video!! DAMN YOU!!!

  • Weezer gets a slight edge in my mind though

  • Weezer and Modest Mouse are both amazing in their own ways..

  • i eargasm at.... well prettymuch the whole song...

    this is just a musical jizzfest :D

  • @pk1444 best modern band ever

  • this is a good song man. those who see the indifferences in the world and the oh-so common dumb ass people do another stupid thing, should do something. try making your world better before wrecking someone elses

  • song rocks..

  • dude this has been stuck in my head.

  • when i'm alone this music seems like i'm whole

  • 5 people didn't drink away, the part of the day, that they cannot sleep away.

  • MODEST MOUSE! REAL MUSIC , music is dying as we speak, without this true real music there is no music. WIthout music like this we would have more and more hatred.Peace LOVE AND happyness. spread the word we all need to come together all of us!!!!

  • @jerms6334 you spell happiness with an i. but dude. so true. i wish their were more poeple like that.

  • i agree. modest mouse is REAL music , it touches your heart if u can relate. They help me through my rough days and good, without them id prob.be 6 feet under. I LOVE THEM

  • @typierce19 who the FUCK is Isaac Brown?

  • This song has been stuck in my head for like 3 days. It's taking a lot to play out.

  • I honestly don't think there's a better band out there!!!!!!!

  • okay, for one if you think Isaac Brock is such a fag then why are you looking up these videos anyways? Quit spamming dude go listen to to your mainstream bitch ass tired of videos and leave my man Isaac outa it:) Your just jealous because unlike the mainstream shit you prolly listen to that an idiot could write, modest mouse is actually sensible enough to write some deep deep shiz

  • @Tunezz89 why the fuck are you looking up a modest mouse video? especially one that's not really heard of. did isaac brock do anything to you? go take your anger out somewhere else dude.

  • @Tunezz89 Did Isaac Brock call you out infront of all your friends at one of their shows???

  • @imjohnandyouare no but he did catch me completely off guard when i noticed he was mingling with us fans prior to the show...

  • i want new modest mouse that used 2 b my favorite band i hope they make new shit soon

  • By far one of the most catchiest, if not the catchiest, Modest Mouse songs! I really overlooked this song way back in the day, but now I really appreciate it. Just too many good songs in Modest Mouse's repertoire.

  • This song is so frikking addicting! GO MODEST MOUSE! 

  • i wish i never knew what these guys looked like

  • @mistergutwagon hahaah wtf???

  • if you think weezer beats modest mouse.. then you have the musical taste of a dead turtle

  • @knowledgefarmer To say the least Weezer is better than most of today's music, but Modest Mouse is 40 times better than them and my favorite band ever!

  • Comment removed

  • @knowledgefarmer Weezer and Modest Mouse are two of my favourite american bands. Have you even heard Pinkerton? Of course they've changed since then, but their first two albums are absolutely classic IMO

  • @knowledgefarmer

    Pinkerton Weezer comes pretty close

  • @knowledgefarmer excuse me...I LIKE TURTLEs!

  • @knowledgefarmer

    I think they were a little closer to MM quality on blue album & Pinkerton. Alas, they moved on from that. :(

  • @spearshake i agree. had they gone a different direction. they would be on par with modest mouse. at least imo

  • or a rubber chicken

  • @knowledgefarmer YESS!!!! weezer can suck a fat cock.

  • @knowledgefarmer raaah weezer are fucking banging. MM and weezer are two of my favourite bands.

  • @knowledgefarmer So if we don't conform to your opinion we're less valid than you? Opinions are unique to each person, in my opinion I like both Modest Mouse and Weezer equally, don't try to enforce your opinion. That's how stupid arguments starts.

  • @knowledgefarmer dead turtles cant taste music

  • @knowledgefarmer Weezer was good, but the fell off hard.

  • You dare to put "weeeeenerzer" in the same sentence with Modest Mouse? For SHAME.

  • has got to be the modest mouse song i can relate to most.

  • @pk1444 close. But im pretty sure Weezers got 'em beat. But Modest Mouse still kicks ass

  • Man I can never escape this song.

  • @prammaven then nobody would have hands.

  • This song reminds me of a friend of mine. It's pretty sad since they have actually quoted the chorus. "I'm trying, I'm trying to drink away the part of the day that I cannot sleep away"

  • @ moztecka did they try to drink away the part of the day that they could not sleep away? RIP

  • I LOVE SKILLET IT IS DELICIOUS

  • please not that it should be "El End" not "La End" because end is fin and we say El Fin not La Fin yay! MM<3

  • Seems like I have to listen to this every once in awhile. Usually when I've been drinking.

  • @prammaven I really hope you're kidding when you say that thieves should be killed for stealing.

  • typical day for me :)

  • Oh and buy the way there is no way to protect your music as people will put the tracks off of CDs on the Internet.

  • First of all don't use a YouTube comment page for your arguments, and seconed,@ primaven, you need to stuff it. I download music all the time of the Internet and it "feels" no different from buying it off of iTunes. No matter were I get it from it is the same good thing. So lighten up man.

  • @prammaven Well that great and all but your not the mass-industry monster and feeds us so little creditable acts. My stand point, if you have a single out and its popular or what not make it free , you'll make up more than enough on a tour. But the industry that pays them will want more and more. To evolve from this we need to first realize that this kind of music does not generate nearly the revenue as a hook filled continuous loop that makes us dumber. If I had A point I lost it... YAY

  • @prammaven Wonder if we could just call a mulligan on this system...I see its all just getting worse. Many people are pissed about paying money for the things they enjoy.

    problem we have is a shit economy, bills that stack and an internet filled with "freebies". Making us all the slightest of criminals.

  • my friend showed me this and i love it!

  • @ Chatroulette-dude: I'm the mustage girl. And I know that you use to listen to this song... So I hope you se my comment!

  • Chew until your food is a reasonable consistency, then swallow.

  • Lastly, music is an art, which means it has aesthetic value-thats it. Any value we try to place(-monitarily) on it misconstrues art in general. As an animation aritist you should know this. If you try to make financial gain from art-you aren't making real and will never be succesful at it. You must do it for it's own sake.

  • @kikases Jesus Christ, you're a pretentious little prick aren't you? So I guess you're not a true artist unless you're a homeless bum babbling to yourself, but that's okay because insane people are supposed to be artistic geniuses right? There's this thing in life called a "niche", if you find something you're good at and you enjoy doing it you should find some way to make a living from it. Sure it's nice if your art affects people but sometimes not starving is a good motivator to create more.

  • The song is about realizing this your lack of freedom, being fed up with the system and "drinking away the part of the day you cannot sleep away" Furthermore, if youown go and listen to it and quite trolling youtube-trying to make people buy into your fake being.

  • haha you waited 3 mintues to reply.. You didn't think.

    Music is something we enjoy in our leisure, leisure is not freetime but nonwork time. That is we are given leisure so we are more productive at work. When we consume in our leisure and buy things with our "hard-earned" dollars, lke music-we are buying our freedom or buying things that represent our freedom-not real freedom.

  • Dont inadvertently hint like you want to kill me just because I have a different opinion than you. You dont even know anything about me?! So dont hastily generalize and put people to death, thats what the Nazis did. Your mentality just shows how controlled you really are. BTW how much did you pay to listen to this song on youtube? Furthermore, you are really missing the point of modest mouse music. Think about the music first and then get back to me. ...No! Stop, think about it. THINK.

  • Where do you draw the line? Stand up for yourself, don't be a pawn of Capitalism. No need to be primer grey, dont buy your freedom. Me, ...I feel pretty blissfully.

  • I love this song :-)

  • check out my video response! i sampled the song... i hope i dind't kill it! haha comment!

  • theres nothing like seeing this band live.

  • This was played at my friends funeral service.

  • this is an amazing song to be laid to rest to

    r.i.p!

  • wow heartbreaking, makes me cry just thinkin about it

  • I think that's amazing.

  • @moztecka nice

  • @moztecka that's amazing

  • @moztecka joy divison-decades will be played at mine check that band out amazing

  • @moztecka then i would have cried without even knowing him,

  • @syst3mofad0wnn Says the kid with the system of a down youtube name...

  • @T34MUnKn0wn i like how his comment was removed do to too many negative votes XD

  • @T34MUnKn0wn says the kid that uses 1337speak in his name. Suck ittttttttttt

  • @T34MUnKn0wn lol. this song..system....system rocks.....sure you did not mean other wise. respect to system. respect to modest.

    

  • @T34MUnKn0wn system is great and so is modest mouse so shut up

  • @moztecka it sucks when you lose a friend man i know tht feeling but on a positive note good song

  • @moztecka I'm sorry for your loss I know how it feels I personally lost 8 family members in the past years

  • @Mrhappytrigers dont get me wrong i am very sorry for your losses and for what im about to say. but i think that was unneccessary. no need to brag. we didnt all need to hear that. if it must be said do it in a personal message. once again very sorry

  • @moztecka did he die of alcohol poisoning?

  • picture at 2:37 is great ( ;

  • This song really can get a guy through some hard times
