Well, it's about someone who got into the wrong crowd and died in the snow. Still an awesome song, maybe even better because it's not just about snow being pretty.
when I'm at work, I listen to my modest mouse discography on shuffle, and I continue to find treasures like this song while I'm mopping floors. they make my day tremendously :)
Dashboard is a song by modest mouse that is popular, and any time a band becomes popular it starts sucking according to the majority of people commenting on this video
yeah, any indie band. but i can understand where there coming from because with a larger fan base bands tend to become poppier and normally anger or unhappiness subsides with mt everest piles of cash... which can be the source of truly good music.
This just goes on and on. Someday a bunch of people on the MindConnection will telepath to each other "Holy Cyber, why is Modest Mouse so popular? Why isn't Stupid Future Band, already? It's so much better. It's real music!"
The one problem with Modest Mouse becoming mainstream-like famous is just that. Remember what happened with Dashboard? Imagine that tenfold. There'll be morons running around saying, "Whoooo! Modest Mouse! Aw, man, We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Set Sail and This Is A Long Trip For Someone With Nothing To Do are my favorite albums!!!!"
So? At least good music will be played constantly. And trust me. Modest Mouse is far from being popular. The only song that any of the 4 to 8 peoploe in my house can listen to is "Fire It Up" I'm the only one who can listen to all of their stuff.
It think Modest Mouse is one of least appreciated music groups in America and I think that that is bullshit. I think Modest Mouse should be more popular than any of the other mainstream music groups. Modest Mouse's songs make you think and paint a picture in your head. I never get that when I listen to any other mainstream band.
what do you mean by that exactly? Because I agree with you there are a lot of bands that shouldn't be popular *cough, Fallout Boy, cough* and some that should be.
My bad I meant to say mainstream bands and mianstream rap. I was thinking about those shitty bands like nickleback and souja boy, or however he mis-spells his name. There are only few exceptions.
I wonder why "just listen" videos like this don't get many comments. I love them. Whenever I feel like showing somebody a song but don't have the patience to send them the file, I always go on Youtube to try and find videos like this.
This is one of my favorite Modest Mouse songs as well. I particularly like some of those later lines, like "By then it was too late and we wound up on an island of shells and bones that bodies had left." Cudos.
I was following the pack,
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go.
And, Michael, you would fall,
And turn the white snow
Red as strawberries in the summertime.
Well, it's about someone who got into the wrong crowd and died in the snow. Still an awesome song, maybe even better because it's not just about snow being pretty.

This song ends with a screamed "alright." Lonesome Crowded West also ends with an "alright" but it's barely audible (All Nice on Ice). Boosh!

Actually, I have to ask what happened to Dashboard? (Never heard of them, sorry.)
If all you're afraid of is 'new fans' , then, what the heck? Were you never a new fan?
As long as the music stays awesome, I welcome having more people to enjoy it with.
