Modest Mouse-Bury Me With It

[zwartepiet412]

was there a better album than this one during the first decade of the new millennium? i dont think so.

[namesarehardtomakeo]

Why is everyone saying it's infuenced by the pixies? Modest Mouse has been making music since the 90's.

[MyNameIsKwame]

PLEASE, BURY ME WITH IT!

[mineMissHellsing]

I always manage to draw so interesting things while listening Modest Mouse xD

[cloudig]

i just jizzed a bit

[guanaco772]

0:24 Usually I don't have a problem with "special people", but when they try to make "music", it gets on my nerves.

[cometogether21]

@guanaco772 What?

[MrTgold92]

14 people can suck lady gaga's dick.

[AlbinoJedi]

coolest bass line

[Woodlandsarms]

14 people prefer dubstep

[momakesgoodmeatloaf]

he blurts it all word vomittttttttttt

[pearljammer13]

PLEEEASE!!!

[Spr4ynPr4y]

This sounds heavily influenced by the pixies.

[commradedave]

@Spr4ynPr4y a lot of it is, them and built to spill, and a bit of tom waits

[SmoothHourglass]

@Spr4ynPr4y Name a good band post-pixies who wasn't heavily influenced by them. Exactly.

[Spr4ynPr4y]

@SmoothHourglass

That was sassy.

[valpalGO]

i love that monkey.....

[12Mbare]

@CdubTheSadist i love taylor swift she can get it



[firaga226]

I cant listen to this song loud enough.

[SirJohnBonham]

I've been listening to Modest Mouse on and off forever, I bought their latest album when I was in middle school, but holy fuck... after hearing this song, I think I'm obsessed... They were always a bit too quirky for my liking, but now that I've gotten into everything from dubstep to hardcore, I can't wait to hop on my drum kit and jam to this shit. Unique and powerful drumming, and just powerful music in general. Wish they would come up to Detroit ffs!

[Duck1188]

REAL music is in the ears of those who listen. Rock to hip hop, country to rap, electro to death metal. As long as it moves you nothing anyone else says matters.

[alvids333]

it seems that controversy is thhe best seller. No one wants to hear about dying and no one wants to hear there's no God (debatable), and no one wants to hear about drug addictions, but that's the best music.

[Limjucas8396]

Modest mouse is one of my favorite bands. I think Isaac and brak from space ghost sound similar at times. Hahahahah

[eyetranceend]

but GOD, I LOVE that ROCK 'N' ROLL!

[MoonDragon90]

life handed us a paycheck, we said we worked harder than this

[MyStevo19]

thumbs up if u say modest mouse in concert more then 5 times

[Demipimp]

Cause of Modest Mouse its hard to find good music damn assholes rising the bar :(

[AlissaCollett]

my free time is gone, but I'm still looking up Modest Mouse on YouTube :P

[Katieandthedimonds]

his voice is sooooo sexy! He can burry me with it...

[pi5220]

I probably really should be at work...

[sweetlysweet100]

these people and mumford and sons are my favorite band and my favorite part of he song is when they said "life handed us a paycheck we said we worked harder than this" that is the best part

[ihpu22]

@sweetlysweet100 thats ironic cause mumford and son's lyrics are pretty religious (not blatanly but still) while Modest Mouse is the exact opposite haha

[sweetlysweet100]

@ihpu22 yeah haha idk to me they sound kind of similar not alot but some of them sound the same and i just like this kind of music in general so yeah haha

[maalbe987]

@sweetlysweet100 I always thought that Marcus Mumford looks kinda like Isaac Brock (circa 2004).

[sweetlysweet100]

@maalbe987 to me the tune of them are kind of the same so thats kind of why i think haha

[maalbe987]

@sweetlysweet100 If they toured together I'd go.

[sweetlysweet100]

@maalbe987 i sooo would too haha :-)

[sweetlysweet100]

@maalbe987 sorry lol i mean yeah they do

[towlie999]

reminds me of cage the elephant at the begining

[melaniebaeza11]

I've been listening to Modest Mouse alot lately. It's been probably the greatest part of my summer haha

[danielmarc08]

This captures most senses of remorse, regret, and individuality most people express/feel.

[McDopplin]

if life were a paycheck we'd say we worked harder than this? lol nice

[orlkmo]

Modest Mouse: completely underrated.

[stuvo1977]

Justin Bieber disliked this song nine times.

[MrLatheb]

i like his lisp

[IxHitxdrums]

you know the drummer is freaking amazing... do you know how hard it is to get a rim shot exactly when you want it consistantly like he is?

[TheSmashinPumpkins]

reminds me of the pixies

[knuknei]

this is my fucking jam

[welovewii4]

AND GOD I LOVE THAT ROCK N' ROLL! Love that line :)

[godmaybefunky]

"dont drink tha water and dont breathe tha air and if gotten to that point than i gotta declare...." that is just.....WOW!

[sharding2586]

boob

[IJustSawUPickUrNose]

@sharding2586 vaginaboob (: (:

[chaosspawn420]

please bury me with it

[PerryNae]

Life handed us a paycheck we yelled we worked harder then this!

[daionte2022]

charles hamilton sampled this well 

[Fendertastic]

I don't know why I always thought this was frank black.

[Mineav]

@Fendertastic Their vocals do sound pretty similar. I never noticed that before.

[MEYERS3000]

@Fendertastic They sound extremely similar, i don't blame you. Pixies and Modest Mouse are two of my favorite bands

[DietKong]

melts our faces gggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[MrLiquidhaze]

like a higher more modern version of jim morisons voice no?

[xDeathXAngelx711]

@MrLiquidhaze Noooo.

[IAmTheSwordmaster]

This song just randomly popped in my head out of nowhere. Glad to hear it again after a while.

[crazi4chocolate]

@TheCouchGuy420 that's nasty

[txmomoftwo1]

In the words of The Sex Pistols, Punk's not fucking dead!'

[SashimiSayu]

I've forgotten about this song, but I'm so glad I got to listen to it again. :']

[lifelover753]

oh my god.

they just can't do wrong.

[Brykken]

ten people can suck my dick.

[jason38653]

@Brykken no, 12 people can suck a ignorant rat's dick

[Tf2Antichief]

@Brykken

Thats a really strange offer, and why only 10 people?

[commradedave]

@Tf2Antichief there's only so much to go around, what do you think he is? He-man?

[Dragonthorn29]

@Tf2Antichief look at the date of the comment.. a year ago

[5BadNinjas]

Man I love Metal but u need to listen to classic songs/bands thank the gods for bands like ModestMouse

[ctkinstley]

this song annoys me

[pimpguitar1]

Why wouldn't they edit dig your grave into this song....?

[hyperandomz2468]

I'm only 14 an all mi friends think this sort of music sucks there into all rap and r&b but this is way better anyway mm rule : )

[MikeyfromNY]

@hyperandomz2468

Good for you,

you'll soon realize that "real music" is almost never on the pop charts, it's only commercial recycled crap made by marketers that ruins peoples ears. The less popular bands and musicians are usually much more talented.

[00000000000775]

@hyperandomz2468

if your in that to that shit then Why the FUCK are you commenting on this

[hyperandomz2468]

@00000000000775 im not i was just sayin how all my friends like it cuz they have no taste in music

[5sagen5]

@hyperandomz2468 haha good aditude as a young person :)

[ihateskateboardin]

yeah this was definitely my childhood defining album

[pimpguitar1]

@ihateskateboardin This is GOING to be my childhood defining album! xD

[Bribestateofficials]

This was my childhood album, 10 people need to die of aids.

[Korndude4561]

@Bribestateofficials same here man

[ToxicDevil93]

@Bribestateofficials Same.

[Kafkalist]

definitely brocks best impression of frank black with that screaming

[ichbineintoober]

"mad max bullshit" sez the creepy little jew-lacky

[dotdotdotdotcom]

i probably really should of been at work

[kelseybc4ever]

why argue?.. seriously, i'm just trying to put awesome comments about the most amazing band ever and all i see is fuck you and junk. Hears a solution.... SHUT THE FUCK UP EVERYONE AND JUST LISTEN TO SO MODEST MOUSEEEEE!! ;l

[PeachykeenLNG]

@kelseybc4ever Indeed.

It seems preposterous to me that a person could dislike Mouse but I guess.... eh. Fuck 'em. They shouldn't be on these pages. The real fans (us) should probably just avoid the comment sections lol

[kelseybc4ever]

@PeachykeenLNG haha wow yes:) lol

[beckybbzxxx]

amazing cd lovin it amazing band so different and unique :) his voice is soooo crazy but lovin it xx

[itstheMAC]

This song was the anthem to my summer

[AgujaAzulMD]

Knock knock.

Who's there?

Modest Mouse.

Modest Mouse who?

It doesn't matter, old Modest Mouse, new Modest Mouse, it's all a thousand times better than any other current bands out there.

[afaigen]

@AgujaAzulMD pinback's pretty fing good.. modest mouse is fing awesome too...

[11193dom]

Charles Hamilton - Fans are Cool

[DIGFOOL]

Modest mouse used to be (positive adjective). (hate words) all you "MM fans" who just heard of them are (negative adjective) the new stuff is (VERY negative adjective) why dont you go listen to (we were dead or good news song) and ger of the (positive adjective) MM songs.

all the comments like this are like fucking mad libs. all of there stuff is all deep and beautiful so shut up. all of it is fucking a and you dont need to hate on other fans of your favorite band just because u found them 1st

[edhs21]

@DIGFOOL you forgot about float on

[DIGFOOL]

@edhs21 i didnt mention any particular songs. -_-. i referenced albums. i like that song a lot though. not my fav though. i cant pick but its somewhere between "edit the sad parts", "nothing new" (unreleased) "the world at large" "black caddilacs" "one chance" "so much beauty in dirt" "night on the sun".... crap ill run out of characters if i continue

[ZACfromSCB]

@DIGFOOL You're a bit of a tool, arn't you?

[DIGFOOL]

@ZACfromSCB what do u mean a tool?

[llxBRADxll]

@DIGFOOL he was trying to insult you. Your comment was very witty though.

[smowlboker]

@ZACfromSCB fuck you

[ZACfromSCB]

@smowlboker TOOL

[DemonPazuzu666]

@ZACfromSCB

Sure like that word, don't ya?

[Mycological]

@ZACfromSCB another great band

[poeticvariance]

Unrelated to the song: I love watching everyone argue on here, it's pretty funny! I wonder what the band would think if they say everyone arguing about the meaning of their song and how good they are and whether they have changed. Modest Mouse is Modest Mouse and change can be good. But no matter what they will always be the best.

Cheerio!

[ZUBISTOOL]

favorite song from this album

[07emorgan]

i love this song  :D

[07emorgan]

i love this song XD

[razzlefrazzle123]

Favorite album.

[orcadorkviola]

I just don't need none of that mad max BULL SHIT!!!!

EPIC!!!:D

[xRuezga2x]

This was 1 of the songs I really noticed from the album. Some songs are more appealing than others but it's all still good music.

[TheCount510beat]

He's not even singing, and yet the lyrics are good?? I like this song.

[OrionVWilson]

This is my favorite song by modest mouse, right by bukowski. Modest mouse is fuckin amazing.

[booobbobo]

Why do people 'thumbs up' people writing out lyrics in the comments? Such creativity... The Mouse would be proud.

[SimplyDoomed]

Fucking love Modest Mouse. They were pretty good live. (:

[thirdstorytoker]

Every song on this CD is good. It's fucking amazing.

[bandit690]

Saw em at summer fest last Saturday! They played this...awesome..

[SuperCosbySweater]

@bandit690 i saw em at summerfest too OMG they were AMAZING best concert everr(:

[bandit690]

@SuperCosbySweater Yeah it was good, would have been better if i could actually get close enough...i was stuck by the concession stand.......

[isolatedincodent]

"well fads they come and fads they go" oh modest mouse you are a lyrical word smith!

[trista7]

absolutely, one of the best cds ever, in its entirety. It shows that something beautiful can come from emotions you go through from experiencing death.

[brettrobinson10]

@burninator59 they have been the best since the beginning of time

[LazySundayLazySunday]

Favorite album.

[anotherspeciesfeces]

play this at my funeral

[jakke007]

i will.

mine too

[CheyenneOneLove]

Is uihtt just meh or dus this song bring back memories?? Luv ihtt.

[pablogeebee1]

Hmmmm,ahaha,not bad! I prefer the band ''Into the Void'' though,from who''s video I was directed here. Watch em if ya wanna hear a good new US band.

[nightwing321]

Does anyone know what hes saying in the backround at the end, starting at around 3:14 ish? Ive listened to in about 500 times and looked up everywhere for the lyrics and i cant find it anywhere

[pslipy]

@nightwing321 imal samal samaie smala i said

[somehominid]

2:49 Well the point the point fast, but it was too blunt to miss. Life handed us a paycheck and we said "We worked harder then this!"

[Borealer]

As someone who goes to the firearms range sometimes in the middle of the week, while collecting unemployemen, the phrase "We were shooting at a mountain of dirt.... but we probably should have been at work" has always held a special meaning to me.

[ShadowIceDragon]

@Borealer :) cause its your song!!

[LiterOfCola17]

i like the first verse the best

[guitarplayer91293]

well the point was fast but it was too blunt too miss. Life handed us a paycheck, we said, "we worked harder than this

[Threeishjews]

@guitarplayer91293

if i could like ur comment 100 times i would. u could say i would like it over 9000 times...

[dizzy5star]

I just dont need none of that madmax bullshit!!! I love that part

[echoingvoices]

i think music is a personal journey, so maybe we're all accurate, as long as we believe we are. :P

[colormebluenumber2]

@echoingvoices as corny as that sounds your right

[Cousi7]

i dont think that any of you are even close to the meaning of this song.... stop thinking so much, its dangerous for you.

[agamiceps]

songs mean different things to different people so stfu

[Cousi7]

LISTEN HERE, DICKSMOKER! In these ignorant United States we are entilted to say what ever the fuck we want. i just disagreed. Have a nice day. :D :D :D

[perilvamp09]

the shit the nonsense all the wrongs we though we saw in the world and recreate

a new me along with it...only if we are willing to move like humming birds

to drink the nectar of today and move our wings of lightning ambition SO BURY ME WITH IT

the old imagine i was...

Thats my interpretation of the sick awesome blossom song,:p

[QCW]

you all should listen to fans are cool by charles hamilton if you like this song

[MrBigwong]

"I just don't need none of that Mad Max bullshit. "

Seems to me the larger meaning of the song is: We are screwing up this planet and our society so badly that pretty soon it's not going to be worth-living here -- so bury me with it.

Sadly, we had all we needed, but as the song says "Life handed me a paycheck and I said I worked harder than this."

Silly humans, shit for brains.

[redscribbler]

is that king rat round 3:20

[uisforukuleleee]

i love the whole part that starts at 1:36.

good news for people who...love bad news

[raquelleejanoskii]

this cd was fuckin fabulous...

[MemphsTgr]

@raquelleejanoskii whats this "was" u speak of?

[mr39313]

@raquelleejanoskii still is

[anrutoenix1]

@raquelleejanoskii how many Modest Mouse album's are there?

[bballa42]

@raquelleejanoskii is*

[xerius555]

@raquelleejanoskii "This cd was fuckin fabulous..."

So friggin true =]

[DIGFOOL]

@raquelleejanoskii using fabulous on a MM video made that word straight.

[XxeroxXed]

If u just read the lyrics and take them for face value like how i view the song to be about a guy whos just fed up with his life like and feels like he needs a change and he is unapprichated. " life handed us a pay check we said we worked then this" pretty sums up my life

[ArmorForBedTime]

@XxeroxXed

'Life handed us a pay check and we said we worked harder than this!' is my motto... sadly enough.

But as far as this song being a drug reference, I personally never saw it that way... but songs like this are always up for translation. I'm the kind of person who puts too much emotion into my things and memories, so I could see wanting everyone to throw everything I own into my coffin with me when I die. That's what the song means to me.

[ratmon18]

like all of modest mouse's songs have a meaning... i hate how ppl call them shit, when their songs are moral stories, or atleast most of em

[ThatGasMaskGuy]

couldn't agree more, its hard to find people who don't listen to little wayne and lady gaga crap

[ratmon18]

@ThatGasMaskGuy Yah man m.m ftw

[misslexii1]

i haven't listened to MM forever, I almost forgot how good they are

[AquaBabeful]

Same. I had a CD and I lost it and forgot about them, I had no idea what to listen to so I was going through my favorites and this appeared!

[876489]

I just don't need none of that mad max bull shit!

[OriginOfAsymmetry]

This song makes screaming lyrics sound great

[senorF1]

everyone should just cailm down , light up , and listen to the music ( any music ) . remember opinions are like assholes everyone has one .

[kevinburn07]

you fucking cock suckers. Please tell me whats wrong with modest mouse new music?? Come on the whale song is easily one of there best songs. If you have a problem with it then don't listen to it. Go kill yourself and listen to old post mm and pretend that your cool to all your pathetic 16 year old friends.

[sstyblo]

what does he want to burried with?

[gongo09]

@sstyblo He wants buried with the things he's talking about.(Free time, tattered suit.)
