  • ive played this on rock band unplugged. then it's been my favorite ever since :P

  • Comment removed

  • i so love this band...

  • rock band..!

  • i did catch a mouse

  • that sheeps are mine!

  • Thumbs Up if you knew this song before Lupe Fiasco sampled it!

  • This song reminds me a lot of things. I was in Chicago when I listened to this. Brilliant!!

  • 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!!!

  • Thumbs up, if Lupe Fiasco brought your here!

  • @82AADouble Actually The remix called Float on Easy Brought me here its pretty awesome and this song is just..............imba

  • @82AADouble I cant thumbs you up cause i knew this song by heart :))

  • wat, what's all this talk about age of earth and shit lol?

  • Thumbs up if Lupe Fiasco stole the main riff and chorus melody of this song.

  • @shanytayganz thumbs up if this guy is an idiot

  • mouse

  • And we'll all Float On okay

  • damn.... just enjoy the song

  • 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."

    —Isaac Brock, The A.V. Club

  • jesus is the shepherd of men. these sheep are going to their slaughter. i think the message is pretty clear.

  • Man, I never noticed that before. The sheep to slaughter thing, not the Jesus thing.

    This film clip and by association song seems so much darker now.

  • how you know the sheep were slaughtered maybe the farmer was gettin some

  • Comment removed

  • its such a feel good song... the meaning is pretty obvious...

    "well we'll float on, good news is in the way" =)

  • You're going to die, and shits going to happen. Might as well have some fun, and do what you want despite knowing it'll all end the same - dead.

  • 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.

  • Nop, is about the little disapointments that everybody suffers in life.

    But no matter, the great circus of life goes and goes on.

    I dreamed about be an astronaut, maybe a rock star, have i work through which become rich. Never happened, but who cares? My life goes on.

  • it's about flotation

  • lmao

  • right on

  • what its the song about?

  • 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.

  • this song has nothing to do with religion

    why are you arguing

    just shut the hell up and listen to the damn song

    ...which rocks

  • weird clip

    I like it ^^

  • FSM > god

  • everything is second to god

  • Jesus Died LOL

  • holy crap haha i LOVE this song its like the best, happy music, gotta love it

  • my dad listens to modest mouse, its my favorite

  • 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?

  • Typo note: 'Song of Man' should be 'Son of Man'.

  • 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.

  • LOL.

    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.

  • I'm gonna guess that you're American

  • No, I'm not

  • im pretty sure youre retarded

  • If I'm retarded you have shit for brains.

  • lawl

  • but one can have no masters.

  • You are either for God or agaisnt him, the Bible is very clear on that.

  • 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.

  • it's great how most atheists actually have READ the bible. unlike most christians who just do, and believe, what they're told.

  • im a christen but that is true what u said but some of us read the bible and still belive it if u read it Gods love is in there

  • good for you man, you've found god on your own terms and i'm all for that.

  • Know thine enemy XD

  • You can't prove that

  • true dat

  • You can't half-way believe, you're either in or out. Read revelations and you'll see that.

  • thats not true i dont belive in god but i still think we all have to be better people and help each other out

  • the bible was also written by man. but whatever, disregard free thinking...

  • ATHESIM!! I kno ya'll hate it, but its true. Their athesit and this is pretty much saying that theist are lambs walking to their slaughter. Enjoy!!

  • learn how to spell

    i assume you mean atheism

  • R u sayin modest mouse are an atheist band?

  • Yep. "I'm 100 percent on the whole Christianity thing being a crock of shit, pretty much." -Issac Brock

  • Woe to you

  • lol this looks like the music video from michael jacksons "leave me alone"

  • 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?

  • Have you ever heard the term leading lambs to the slaughter?

  • You know what else is demented, but epic? Your name. It should be a caterpillar's penis or something...

  • 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.

  • Intelligent youtube comments, although rare, make me have hope for humanity.

  • it's a LIFE song!! We all danced to this song at my brother's wedding :) It's true!

  • isn't 'modest mouse' redundant?

  • This song deserves way more than 2.5 mil views seriously, this song is way to good.

  • how come they ended the video before the sheep get slaughtered

  • i fucking hated this song when it came out like 5 years ago, but now that im older its badass

  • Arguing over the internet is like running in the special Olympics. Even if you when, you're still retarded.

  • "even if you 'when', you're still retarded." haha, i really hope you meant to type 'win' here.

    also, this was very offensive man. the special olympics are nothing to be made fun of..

  • im not going to bother argueing with you, except to say that i do care, because my brother competes, and you should feel terrible about yourself.

  • I feel just fuckin dandy.

  • lol well put.

  • "even if you 'when' you're still retarded. how ironic, cause that's a really retardde thing to do XD

  • lol i love it soooo much when people argue on facebook, about shit that dont matter. it always makes my day ahahahaha

  • This Music video is very weird but the song is epic 5 stars and favourited!!!

  • isaac looks like fat jesus from the hangover without the beard

  • Modest mouse is the best band

  • Can't we as people leave a comment that appreciates a good song and leave it at that.

    Moudest Mouse isn't a religion. Get over it, there a good band, or atleast they use to be.

  • 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

  • Music isn't a person or a feeling.

    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.

  • yeah MOUDEST mouse is my faaavvveeee
