Modest Mouse-Tiny Cities Made of Ashes

[DorZep22]

idk what it is about this song.... but i fuckin love it...

[jayejayeee]

very interesting thanks

[staranjela]

good work here

[shellybirdy]

great video thanks

[bribribri56]

some really good stuff here

[danshwan]

especially if they ran three miles before hand

[danshwan]

i love the smell of titties

[Woodlandsarms]

it reminds me of neutral milk hotel-song against sex

[chilldude30]

@Woodlandsarms wat

[MrFreezway]

Does this remind any of you of "Come Together" by the Beatles? In a good way.

[JacksenPierce]

I don't see how anything in this video has anything to do with the song.

To abstract.

[Gazelle54321]

Holy hell that bass line!

[crobarus]

Best group since the Beatles. People today are too fucked up to pay attention.

[Selesniac]

molasses =3

[RiptheGreen]

this song is sick never heard it and im high as fuck

[aquamongoose13]

@ProductionWarehouse

No, actually you do have a right to your opinion, and nobody should kill you or anything like that. What I will say is that your opinion is wrong. Obviously you are looking for a fight, because you came to a Modest Mouse video and called it "crap" and "atrocious shit". If you like the music, comment, if not, feel free to leave and not be a complete dick. Also, stop commenting and wasting yours and everyone else's time. Thanks.

[Jewcymidget]

is the ending acoustic part a diffrent song if yes please someone tell me the name

[crashZ33]

@Jewcymidget : It's not part of another song. It's the ending of this song track on the album, "The Moon and Antarctica". The whole album is fantastic. Pinky swear.

[Destructerator]

Ahhhh this album kills. If you love it, feel good, it's fantastic music.

[efciaq]

kind of trashy

[ProductionWarehouse]

Those who say I have no knowledge of music? I do indeed have a great knowledge of music and hazard to say I know a lot more than most of you. We just obviously have differing opinions on good music. I greatly preferred SKM's version of the song, while others may think their version was a piece of shit. I have the right to say what i want without discrimination here, obviously I cannot compete with the 50 or so people who rather hate my guts.

[ProductionWarehouse]

I just received an email notifying one of my lovely fans had commented on this video "Wow, you just got owned bitch" to me. After sifting through the approximately 19 tags to from people wishing i rotted in hell and people wanting to kill me in many different ways and another 50 of those (while not tagged) were directed at me, I only found one decent person here, who wasn't myself. Con0R115. I couldn't even find my own comment. I still hate the song, but i have to admit, what i said was harsh.

[jill9700]

I'm pretty sure if Modest Mouse could disable the commercial they would.

[assdan27]

this song is so awesome. Am I the only person who thinks some of this song's lyrics are hilarious. "I just got a message that says yeah hell has frozen over, got a phone from the lord sayin hey boy get a sweater." Laughed my ass off the first time I heard that line.

[mitchellminami]

Wow this is awful.

[HungSolo360]

66 people got punched in the glasses

[myxxnamexxis13]

2:06 -That made me love your video.

[hauffenschweiler]

Lol this video is too literal.

[katesophiab]

@hauffenschweiler It's hilarious. Hahaha.

[MachineMalfunction]

This bass was made for pelvic thrusting.

[Oldshirt]

Provided your ears are limber enough... It's very possible to love both the Modest Mouse and Sun Kil Moon version of this track. The whole collection of covers is outstanding as well. No better or worse than the originals... Just different.

Anybody else get to catch MM at Edgefield on Saturday?

[dchilson2]

@Oldshirt - I agree - they are 2 different takes on the same song and both good.

[KibaIsMINE]

<3

[viperdiamondback]

Sun Kil Moon's version of this song is AWESOME.

[Happymealify]

is the ending, yes I think it is, could it be the ending to Dark center of the universe backwards? Just a thought.

[TheSmoothOperation]

people with opinions about which song is better, are just close minded and not open to both versions. Music = Art

[regiusmerlin]

if you are a fan of modest mouse or beck, please check out my band Hurry, a Solar Bear. we look at these two artists as our biggest inspirations, and we hope mutual fans will appreciate our music. we are from phoenix, arizona and we now have a facebook page up with a five song demo available for free download :D please support us by downloading our demo!

[anpl94]

@ducksauce71 Yeah, I believe this song is about coke.

[ducksauce71]

so we're drinking drinking drinking coca coca cola i can feeling it rolling right on down oh right on down my throat

anyone eles think this verse is about doing coke?

[XoHopscotchXo]

geez man. could this band kick any more ass?

[srfuead]

@XoHopscotchXo No.....

[XoHopscotchXo]

@srfuead tru dat lol

[SniperCinema]

I got a phone call from the lord saying "hey boy, get a sweater, right now"

[Mybright1]

sorry but...this video sucks

[Happymealify]

@Mybright1 I didnt make this video, but before saying that, consider actually making video for this song.

[sniedleworts]

What a beat

[PennyroyalTeaBagger]

...3 replays later and I'm suddenly craving coca cola...lol

[ShakeNBakeShawn]

Dudes, this is definately one of their best songs!

[Achmann]

Awesome song! Love it so addictive! Also I the comments here are annoying me. Music is like wine. Everyone likes different things. What one person loves another may hate with greatest disdain! So really now your opinion is not going to convince others that you are right. Everyone likes different things and there is no logic to it. So to people who dislike this song that is fine just don't attack what you don't understand! Live and let live!

[Denomoses]

Could everyone just chill out about the whole sun kil moon thing? It was 6 years ago i mean seriously your still going on about it in 2011? Just get over it.

[HallCustomSheaths]

That was to Production Warehouse, the fuckers.

[pastpresentsfuture]

59 people are deaf..

[concreteXwater]

Dat bass...

[DispleasedHorse]

This sounds like Flight Of The Conchords

[Denomoses]

wow does it honestly matter to anyone which version is better? if you don't like the sun kil moon version then don't talk about and if you don't like the original MM version then why are you watching this?

[MoralNihilism]

I like the Sun Kil Moon version, but this is better.

[enexar04]

Sun Kill Moons version is a lot better here it here watch?v=eLvbb8RYRds&feature=re­lated

[omichron420]

@enexar04 version? that's just him stealing lyrics. it's a bullshit emo song that makes people want to slit their wrist. DIAF.

[IAmSmokingDank]

@BecauseIgothigh143 dont compare modest mouse to that dumb teeny bopper shit. dont compare modest mouse to any other band either. and smoke a fatty and chill out dude no need to get mad over youtube comments

[IAmSmokingDank]

@BecauseIgothigh143 fuck u and your ignorant thinking asshole

[ChristopherTitus27]

yeah that cum sweat and blood sounds like a real good idea, add tears, there is something to that. Im guessing your not much a fan of Girl talk ?

[froschein]

This song reminds me of the Talking Heads.

[TheBkat13]

I now have a choice to either kill myself by listening to the sun kil moon version once

OR

by listening to this song OVER 9000 times and dying of starvation because I can't tear myself away from the beautiful sound to go and eat lunch

[omichron420]

@TheBkat13 the sun kil moon version makes me bleed from my anus.

[jarshuar]

@omichron420 music of no kind should make your anus bleed. see a doctor, this sounds serious.

[KyleandTad]

@jarshuar except Friday or Justin Beaver.

[TheBkat13]

58 people are giants that are allergic to ashes

[RL4th]

"I just got a message that says yea hell has frozoen over. I got a phone call from the lord saying hey boy get a sweater...right now"

This line makes the song for me. Well that, and the beautiful acoustic arrangement at 3:14. It tells me everything's gonna be alright.

[rrbp45]

Why are you arguing about whats better? It's all opinion.

[nickconfidental]

@rrbp45 and my opinion has been proven to be 99.9% fact about 99.9% of the time... always margin for error.

[slevinpolicy]

@nickconfidental opinions are like kittens people love giving them away.

[adrianmallory1]

@nickconfidental your opinion is fact? c'mon man listen to what ur saying.

[rrbp45]

@nickconfidental Fair enough.

[GutHoister]

@rrbp45 Not necessarily. What anyone 'likes' is absolutely opinion and can't be challenged or criticised by anyone. But as for what constitutes 'better' or 'worse' music, well, it's not set in stone but there are definitely ways to measure it to some extent, even if they are debatable. So while I 'like' both version of the song, I've gotta say that I think the MM original is infinitely better constructed and delivered, with far more originality and awesome resonance between music and lyrics.

[stuart101]

@rrbp45 think you answered your own question there vaginaface

[cyress6]

@rrbp45 cause everyones opinions right and no one else's matters. lol!

[ProductionWarehouse]

in my opinion Sun Kil Moon greatly improved this crap. How is this music? Sun Kil Moon and Mark Kozelek are true musicians who have written great originals as well as completely improved upon this atrocious shit.

[nickconfidental]

@ProductionWarehouse HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH­AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

You tell good jokes... that was a joke... right? if not then you are quite obviously the dumbest, most musically ignorant person on earth

[HallCustomSheaths]

GODDAMN youre mainstream listening self. I hope you suffer the greatest hell kown to man. If you call this atrocious, your gods have denied you life and coated you in disgust with true art. Fool. Your shame brings embarasment to my face. You have accomplished nothing in your pathetic existence. You are lower than the dirt you're new assigned GOD, Isaac Brock's shit recycles to. Forever burn in your ignorance. I officially damn you to be a commoner. Modest Mouse is the greatest band ever. Suk it

[twitcher64]

@nickconfidental Hm. You're a bit of a douche.

[Dunukros]

@nickconfidental

so true, i cant imagine how people like Sun Kil Moons cover version of this song, it just sounds like shit

[grungerobotnow]

@nickconfidental dumbest aint a word doofus.

[ilovebmx27]

@grungerobotnow aint aint a word :p

[grungerobotnow]

@ilovebmx27 ya neither is doofus you retard.

[benpavao215]

@nickconfidental i agree. this is NOT one of the times a song has been improved. almost as bad as lets call it off by drake or the show goes on by lupe fiasco

[TheYzkidpimp12]

@ProductionWarehouse wow congragulations you are as stupid as the dump i just took>

[CoN0R115]

@ProductionWarehouse If this was the first and only MM song you've heard, I wouldn't blame you. I mean this song's a bit of an aquired taste (I'm not allowed to say I don't like it, because I'd be verbally raped by hardcore fans), and yes Sun Kil Moon are pretty cool. Although, Modest Mouse are musical geniuses. Listen to 'Gravity Rides Everything', 'Florida', 'Dashboard', 'Missed the Boat', 'Float On' or 'Dramamine', but to name a few, and see what you think.

[dirtySwingset]

@ProductionWarehouse If your serious, i hope you burn in hell

[Discokid715]

@ProductionWarehouse wow. no words. no words...

[zomBkilla]

@ProductionWarehouse ... end up being more reactionary than "improving." A good example of this dynamic is demonstrated by phenomenal pianist Larry Goldings doing a parody on youtube called "Hans Groiner: The Music of Thelonious Monk."

[CK3890]

@ProductionWarehouse If it was actually atrocious shit, do you think they'd have covered it? There's really no such thing as bad music. If you were a musician, you'd understand.

[DemonPazuzu666]

@CK3890

So...Justin Bieber ISN"T bad?

[CK3890]

@DemonPazuzu666 No, justin beiber isn't music. What I said only applies to music that counts.

[DemonPazuzu666]

@CK3890

Oh, of course.

[HiddenWoodsMedia]

@ProductionWarehouse I wanna hit you in the face, I wanna punch you in your glasses.

[BottleofScrumpy]

@ProductionWarehouse You are to music what a three year old with down's syndrome is to advanced physics. I.E. you don't know shit.

[nihilistichotmagic]

@ProductionWarehouse "i'm gonna hit you on the face i'm gonna punch you in your glasses"

[princessdaleeee]

@ProductionWarehouse You've got to be joking. I know this comment is from six months ago, but I have to inform you that while Sun Kil Moon is a fantastic artist, his cover album of Modest Mouse songs were TERRIBLE!

[Guercinator]

@ProductionWarehouse oh shut up you! Everyone else enjoy the song :D

[kitelicker100]

@ProductionWarehouse You just don't get it.

[12345678765432130]

@ProductionWarehouse you got owned, bitch!

[NoodThenoob]

Meh i like sun kil moons cover more but then again its the first version ive heard so its the first version that grew on me

[JakePhillipsVideos]

the end of this song is orgasmic

[dieselrepublic]

@rollerbladequeen-Ha ha! That's ALL you can say?! How old are you? Eight?? At least say something worthwhile, if you're gonna comment. It's ok. Your taste in music still sucks. Later, Queen.

[WeAreAllBleach]

@nickconfidential I concur! Sun Kil Moon's version of this song was a total fuck up! Why in the fuck is he in business? Someone needs to stomp his ass down into the bowels of hell itself.

[CTRLALTDELETE6]

The ending of this song is so much different from the beginning... I love it like that :)

[unfocusedfears]

this is the best song ever

[lholde333]

your video is making me laugh so much XD

[bellohighrep]

Nearly fell off my fucking chair when i heard that shaker in my right headphone for the first time.

I blame Modest Mouse for the panic attack!

[DeathByKittn]

Don't normally comment on videos but Sun Kil Moon's cover is beautiful. Modest Mouse's original is awesome. Stop arguing about apples v. oranges. Original rocks, cover is great but extremely different.

[rrbp45]

@DeathByKittn

Thank you. Thank you very much :D

[TheBeatnikPsyD]

2:47 Damn, this mic is good XD

[Csledd420]

Were goin down the road... towards tiny cities made of ashes... I'm gonna hit you on the face, I'm gonna punch you in the glasses OH NO

[TheLitzman]

i remember playing metroid prime for gamecube to this song....that was when a buddy gave me a mix cd of them...ahh the memories...

[canucks16]

does anyone know any other songs that are anything like this? me likey.

[trogdortheenchidna]

sun kil moon sucks. end of story.

[iluvhighfives]

this sounds like that song from adam and the ants, "catch a falling star". you peeps should look it up :)

[badge1332]

lol sun kils version duz suck dick

[colourfulpensss]

I could listen to this song on a loop forever, Love IT!

[freakshowv]

does anybody know a way that a body can get away does anybody know a way

[AimersSB]

Love this song.

[jpourkav]

[deadlovin966]

great song love it saw em in santa fe awesome show.... too many haters on you tube.

[LapisGarter]

Terrible song, amazing bass.

[PeaceBabe88]

I Just Gotta Say I Love This Song!!

[OnlyVoicesAndSugar]

way different then their other stuff....kinda sucks...but catchy..

[canucks16]

are there any other songs in the world that sound like this? i need more.

[NeverShoutDru]

Drop the drama, this is a great song (:

[8sk8r]

Tiny cities full of Asses!!!

[DIGFOOL]

@8sk8r no.

[supasta3]

this bassline pulses through me...makes me feel alive.

[DieLan2012]

addicting bassline is addicting

[Smalls]

im probably gonna get thumbed down for this BUT, at first this song reminded me of Paparazzi by Lady Gaga or should I say that from now on Paparazzi will remind me of MM. Just the tone of their voices in the beginning of the song.

[Osiris3657]

love the bass line

[spiderk132]

0:39 that's not your throat, it's your esophagus. 

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

This reminds me of going on the drive to my hometown every holiday to see my family.

[ixuzixi]

Real Music

[OllieMctwist]

@ixuzixi your a bitch stop putting up shitty music

[RANAE30]

I"m wearing myself a tee shirt that says the world is my ash tray.

[royalnash]

one of the few good songs off that album

[fob199]

@royalnash 3rd Planet is the shiz

[SmokinMo11]

a really awful version of the talking heads if they didnt make ant sense.

[kyin45]

kk ITS A GOOD SONG JUST LISTNE AND CUT THE BULL SHIT and its catchy

[Ig0tlif3]

I love this song. LOUD. ON REPEAT.

[brgmarine]

wik3d

[hieldjiv]

awesome song woop woop

[dieselrepublic]

Granted, I do like Modest but not this sorry-ass track. If you do use scissors for your foot, may I recommend grade-school scissors?

[dieselrepublic]

@dickconfidental Wow. You obviously don't know anything about music. If you did, you would know SKM's album, "Tiny Cities", is a cover album. Kozelek taking songs that aren't his and making them worse? What a fuckin' joke.....like your taste in music.

[dieselrepublic]

The version of this song seriously blows. How can the "original" suck compared to it's cover? I think Sun Kil Moon's rendention is way better. Not as upbeat, but more mellow and tranquil.

[nickconfidental]

You, sir or madame, are a fucking retard. Sun Kil Moon is the worst thing that has ever happened to Modest Mouse. That fool takes amazing music that isn't his and makes it over 9,000 times worse. It would be like painting a beautiful painting and then having some ass hole com along and paint the same painting in cum, sweat and blood. You just don't do that shit. Sun Kill Moon makes me want to cut my foot off with a pair of scissors. He takes others music because he make music himself. Ass hat.

[allyourexperiments]

@nickconfidental

so true

[chunkemonkey]

@nickconfidental I disagree with you about Sun Kil Moon. Their original songs are pretty damn great. And what's wrong with covers? You made it sound like Sun Kil Moon only does covers. Aerosmith covered "Train Kept A Rollin'", and now it's one of their most famous songs. And Spiderbait did "Black Betty", I happen to think it's better than the original, but I also know people who disagree. Why the hate on Sun Kil Moon? A simple "I don't care for them" would be fine, instead of raging about it.

[TheeMarkBurkhart]

@nickconfidental Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's not any good! No such thing as bad music just music I don't like.

[321midnight]

@nickconfidental

LATFH

[moosemanthemighty]

@nickconfidental can't you just see that both are good. i love both bands and i love all the songs they do, even if its a cover of each other. they have such differnet styles that its like a new song from both bands. so you my good sir should grow a pair and stop being a retard troll who flips on everyone for nothing.

[MrBetander]

@nickconfidental TRUE DAT! Just listened to that SKM crap the first time! NO GO!!

[thewoodlandfox]

@nickconfidental ...depends what you're into... and what you get into first.

[ATHEISTCAVEMAN]

@nickconfidental Lol, Mearly your opinion, to be honest if someone came along and painted a beautiful painting in sweat, cum and blood i'd have to make my hat off to them. By the way Kurt Cobain painted a few pictures using his cum and blood and their actually quite good.

[ReilyT]

@nickconfidental ITS OVER 9000!!!!!

[giannidawop]

@nickconfidental panting withe blood, sweat, and cum sounds pretty awesome, but you should do it on a fresh canvas. mouse is the shit and i love this video

[allyourexperiments]

@dieselrepublic

its suppose to be upbeat. try seeing this song live. i have seen it 3 times and its probably the best song they have played live. the bass line is just so groovy

[RenaIvelisse]

@dieselrepublic When I read this comment I looked up Sun kil moon's version and I wanted to shoot myself. No way is it better than the original. I honestly think no cover is better than the original. Unless, of course its by Placebo. Then its better xD

[Ahead818]

@dieselrepublic Modes Mouse did this song first wtf?

[dirtySwingset]

@dieselrepublic Your Fucking suck, guy

[rollerbladerking]

@dieselrepublic hey fuck u guy

[ProductionWarehouse]

@dieselrepublic i agree, in my opinion Sun Kil Moon greatly improved this crap. How is this music? Sun Kil Moon and Mark Kozelek are true musicians who have written great originals as well as completely improved upon this atrocious shit.

[mechazeep]

@ProductionWarehouse

Pfft. No it doesn't. I watched a couple of their covers, the singer doesn't shed any emotion. He just has the montone voice through out the whole fucking song. It is too boring to listen too.

[nickconfidental]

@ProductionWarehouse HOW in ANY WAY is Sun Kil Moon good? HE SPELLS KILL WRONG for one. Who wrote the fucking music that he is singing. Without Modest Mouse, Sun KILL Moon would not exist and if they did it would be worse than goats fucking each other next to dying cats. You sir, are an idiot.

[MrStevenLogan]

my made a shirt that says the world is my ash tray

[jojoluvtool]

oh the memories of living in Longview Washington this song brings back

[ironhenge7]

wtf is this, i know its not music....
