I came here 'cause I've read so many "oh it's a rip off of Float on" and "he copied Modest Mouse" from Lupe Fiasco's video. I was like...I don't get it. then went to the chorus...OH YEAH!! I GET IT NOW. But I still like Lupe Fiasco. It just shows Modest Mouse is really good!!!
It was a completely conscious thing. I was just kind of fed up with how bad shit had been going, and how dark everything was, with bad news coming from everywhere. Our president is just a fucking daily dose of bad news! Then you've got the well-intentioned scientists telling us that everything is fucked. I just want to feel good for a day."
Who needs to think about Cristianity, this song is too cool for that. And whoever thought of talking us into that stuff really needs some payback. Anyways, THIS SONG IS RAD.
the song is about the way things dont allways work out but if you push on things will change and eventually work out and if you see the sheep going to slaughter youll see that its saying we also will all die but we cant let that get in the way of living life, how ever we need to get use to the idea cause eventually we all go to the great slaughter house in the sky.
I think its about pushing through bad times, knowing that no matter what happens we'll get through eventually, and that sometimes life will work for us, we just gotta stay positive.
Yeah but a forgiving God would never turn his back on his children forever, he would leave the light on and the door unlocked for the day those children finally understand.
Or does God just say, there's this certain point at death where it no longer matters what you do, you lost my little game and now you will suffer, even if you've learned your lesson and are willing to live righteously? Where is all that love and forgiveness for the people who would need it most?
Well I'm not sure how you replied to a comment I don't even remember making, but I guess since I'm already here...
I would just say that the Bible is always open to debate and interpretation. See Matthew 12:32 that says "Whoever speaks against the Song of Man will be forgiven, but he who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, in this life or the next."
Interpret however you will. Purgatory? Chance to be forgiven after death? Or just emphasis on the seriousness of blasphemy?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You only get one shot at life. There's only one judgment day. Everybody would turn from their wicked ways and follow Jesus if they knew he was real. As the Bible says: Blessed is the man who does not have to see to believe. There is no second chance. Where does the Bible, the word of God, ever mention second chances after death?
the belief that some cosmic jewish zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as you master so he can remove an evil force from you soul that is present in humanity because a rib woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree. or you can live you life the way you want to without the guilt of some pretend father figure waving his finger at you and saying no!
Type 'proof of the bible' into google and do some research. You may find huge amounts of evidence, as I did when I conducted a similar search, supporting the Bible. Jesus Christ is real and a time is coming and coming soon when you shall stand before him. The Bible does tell christians, however, to respect the beliefs of others. If you don't believe in Jesus then that's your porogative. I'm not going to try and force you to believe in Christ. All of the best Jankflip, cheers.
Type in "Scientific" or "Factual" age of the Earth, if you get any less then 10,000,000 then you are WELL Off.
Also give Evolution and Abiogenesis a shot, you may find your said hard-back full of Goat Herder myths and a very over-exagerated Jew not quite as factual as you may believe.
There's nothing wrong with religion unless you go around shoving it down everyone's throat AND if you understand it's not mean't to be entirely true.
The bible specificallys says: For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believed in him shall not perish but have eternal life. When you die then you find out he is real so its too late to believe in him. Besides, life isn't God's little game. Life, in a way, is a test. Who do you serve? God or the world? One cannot have two masters.
lol you obviously havent read the bible. re-read exodus and and john. btw im an atheist but that doesnt mean there arent agnostics that half way believe and support god and his ideals.
Does anybody understand what the meaning of this video is? I love this song, but I never got it. Why the heck are there sheep in there? Can someone explain?
The cycle of life on this planet floats on in space...it's seems so turbulent and horrifying and extreme in the moment for the individual, but you zoom out and find a world that's just there, spinning in time.
I hear wat ur saying and I respectfully disagree. To u it's just a really good song or band, but to me and other people music is the closest thing to god that exists on earth. People who don't have a religion can still have music and wen u hear a song like this, there is no greater religious feeling in the world
I admit that good music is a vehicle to archiving really good feelings, feelings that no other thing or person can make you feel. I love and devote my self to music, it just some times gets really annoying when you read comments on a video and you expect feed back and all you get is people trying to suck the videos dick. That's all. I respect your comment, we just have different views.
i like the fact that this was uploaded by someone with the username gothicchick16. i can just imagine her sitting around hottopic cutting herself listening to this really positive uplifting song.
