Modest Mouse- The Good Times Are Killing Me (with Lyrics)

[LucasHartwell]

16 people have never had a good time.

[ItsParallelParker]

Been listening to this ever since I started smoking like 4 years ago or so...was on the first CD I listened to with songs I've never heard before at the time, some other songs I remember that were on it were Modest Mouse - Dramamine and Ocean Breathes Salty, MGMT - Weekend Wars, 4th Dimensional Transition, and The Youth....to this day my favorite CD I've ever made.

[GroWgrooveNmovinG]

oh man they smoke, so COOL.

[aag8617]

awesome song, i love when isaac does this song with BSS.

[wantsomecake328]

Might be my favorite Modest Mouse song

[Medivh02]

You can build another Rome in a long time, you can destroy yourself in a short (but good) time. Free for thaught..

[Medivh02]

@Medivh02 Great song btw

[ronster369]

I'm sorta old....but this goes on my list of best songs you never heard to my old friends. I brought them Amy, then Adele. Now Modest Mouse. It should be a proud moment for you mates!

[hurstUNT]

Mmmmmm the good times

[Phil89T]

A friend of mine once said "We're here for a good time, not a long time".

[butuco23]

i listen to this song when i smoke a bowl with friends. The good times are killing me.

[RidesGravity]

@butuco23 smoking a bowl isn't killing you. start doing heroin or meth or become an alcoholic and then you can say that the good times are killing you. even then, they won't be good times for long.

[paranoidandroid3232]

I'd rather be a millionaire with super models as my sex slaves

[snow1778]

ive been literally listening to this and bukowski for the past three days..just cant get enough!

[jondavis11]

I'd rather life a long life with good times. Who says the two are mutually exclusive?

[iiiparadoxiiiify]

Hmm sucks I really like this band but its starting to bother me that every band in this category of music sound way to similar blah!

[pmons1337]

"have one, have 20 one mores'" LOL

[mymorningzion]

i am coming out of a crazy lsd and molly streek and this song just makes everything okay i hope music like this never stops being made

[afterlifeatonethirty]

good times.....2012.....killing me

[xpornogratherapyx]

Songs just too true, Modest Mouse i love you entirely and unconditionally <3 (:

[saltthewound27]

If drugs make you happy and don't affect others around you fucking enjoy yourself. Now if ur hurting your friends and family? Sober up asshole

[drtran227]

So...they can smoke in there?

[hughilene]

speaks to the soul of man

[hughilene]

baked we are

[jerh7806]

LSD will change your world. It only takes once

[uospirg]

Not having good times is killing me

[TitaniousGrubbs]

@uospirg sucks worse when your best times are still your worst times

[therealfasteddie]

"Can we smoke in here?"

[V0LC0M661]

The Good Times Are Killing Me ='(

[dvt1393]

Definitely one of the best hangover songs ever. This is my soundtrack on a Sunday morning after way too many good times....

[PILAKOVIC]

@dvt1393 this song is about his past drug abuse and how he tries to fight it day by day.

[dvt1393]

@PILAKOVIC I know. I was just saying what this song meant to me personally, and how it fits into my life. I think that the best part about Isaac's lyrics are how they can mean something different to everybody, while also being about a specific subject.

[johncelyne414]

this is s fucking amazing.

modest mouse is the best band ever.

[thegamemonkey1555]

Life is too short not to be happy. drugs wont make you happy. the people who your with will make you happy, family, friends, find people in this world whom you love.

[AntiquatedPoet]

Groovy song. But ... who even has good times during this bad economy anymore?

[300cygnus]

ALRIGHT i got chcuk norris with me NOW WHO ARE THE 12 FAGGETS THT DISLIKED THIS

[flyawayhome3]

@300cygnus different people, different tastes. just enjoy this incredible song.

[cKunke2]

I don't get the MM fans that blast the music on these "new" albums. I love the early Modest Mouse albums to death, and especially all those EP's from the 90s and early 00's, but songs like this are just amazing. I don't get how people are so finicky with their bands.

[WisdomBW]

Modest Mouse. Nuff said.

[modest420mouse]

they are such a chill ass band

[Sethistic]

Well I just found this song after my dad told me how he drank whiskey on LSD and I approve of this song so much.

[Chikagba]

damn would you just listen to that funky bassline!!! That is how I usually spot a MM song!

[Foundlost63]

Isaac's redemption.

Yet is resonates with so many of us, in so many different ways.

[MrColbyJackCheese]

My favorite song by Modest Mouse and that's saying a lot.

[stopandrealize]

I would love to just sit and watch these guys play all night long. Just me.

[noobshox]

weed alcohol cigs and drugs yuuuuuup indeed the good time are killing me xD but fuck if thats the case then i wanna die

[BritishRulez]

@noobshox lool u phrased it perfectly.. totally agree :)

[celestexcore94]

This song makes me want to cry...for some reason I can't properly explain. <3 I guess I've just associated so many "good times" with it... Oh, sweet nostalgia..

[skatefdp]

this is my weed

[hybirdew123]

rape the replay button!!!!(Its only a click away)

[Interspatial78]

yeah eric said there's pockets

[dekkeravesque]

@Interspatial78 I always wondered what that was saying...

[brokenseatbelt]

" Enough hair of the dog to make myself an en-tire ruuuug ". Ohh god, this song reminds me of doing drugs sooo much. This whole album, in fact.

[towlie999]

easily my favorite song

[JCGuz93]

What are they saying at the beginning?

[euyq]

This song makes me thing about her....

[cKunke2]

what is it with people hating on this album? Honestly? I'm one of the biggest fans of these guys music (mainly the albums before this one) but this is still an EXCELLENT album. I just don't understand the critisism. What goes through your guys heads when you hear a song like this that turns you off?

[retardrepellent]

@cKunke2 All those people that you know, all those people that you know, all those people that you know, floating in the river are logs.

[Elmtreeee12]

I'd ralther live a short life with good times than a long one with shitty times.

[itsmykylew]

@Elmtreeee12 here for a good time not a long time

[Medivh02]

@Elmtreeee12 So i believe you will be dead before the age of 13?

[jack5540]

@Elmtreeee12 then sell your soul to the devil hahahahahaha

[0blivi0u5kid]

I play this on those mornings where I am hungover.. like now

[hickey1366]

I LOVE THIS SONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[Indigochild92]

is there an ashtray in here?

[AwayinSpace]

@Indigochild92 Eric's got his pockets...



[ZambianMoshPit]

I can't hear anything, anybody else have this problem?

[keithacdc7]

@ZambianMoshPit Thats a negative zir

[ZambianMoshPit]

@keithacdc7 Oh, the video was muted, sorry.

[Haaayez]

@ZambianMoshPit damn..

[kwbdwino78]

The good times ain't killed me yet. So you know what that means, more good times! Yup I'll do the living that my dead friends can't do, and to think I was supposed to be the first to go.

[obsessivechickx]

The good times are killing me but I don't mind, I don't mind, how the hell could I mind? :)

[Flit31]

@CasiusJr Some grouchy little boy needs to go to bed and when he wakes up make a point to broaden his vocabulary.

[CasiusJr]

Fucking shitty song you mother fucking crack heads. When you die I will shit on your cold dead bodies. And steal your mother fucking crack head jewelery and fucking sell it to feed the poor. You worthless mother fuckers taking up all the good oxygen, die in fire.

[mavlb48]

@CasiusJr sounds like somebody has a case of the mondays.

[bkeane3]

@CasiusJr -I remember the first time my parents let me use the internet...

[mtp234]

@CasiusJr

But fire uses up oxygen, wouldn't you want us to drown or something so we use up the least oxygen? :P

(What the heck is good oxygen anyway? I don't do drugs either and I like this song...)

[Thedevllink]

@CasiusJr Well im not gonna be buried so.. Good luck.

[theestrookees]

@CasiusJr

it sounds like you have no friends.

[AnalogSC]

@CasiusJr

ahhhh we love you too buddy :D

[Mr1002brady]

SO TRUE...BUT HEY ITS FRIDAY ALL OVER AGAIN>>>GOOD TIMES !!!!

[DropDeadProjekt]

this song is amazing, listen to the ratatat mash up of this. its so sick

[ChubbyCheeks182]

the goood times ..

[Quietassassin16]

I have been listening to Modest Mouse for many many years is this is one of my Top songs, not because the lyrics but because i have many great memories to this song.

All of the Modest Mouse fans out there like myself, if you have not heard of them look up Iron Horse It is a great tribute to many great bands like mm.

[klimbohan]

this song is about meth.

[reymoondog]

The good times are killing us all.

[CodyRyanBrumley]

5 people were killed by the good times.

[MarkWF5485]

Man I love this song!

I always think of this song ironically when my life seems to turn to shit; at least it always makes me smile through the pain...

[darpa322]

@MarkWF5485 Oorah

[Wanako09]

This song, speaks to me. For I too have had twenty "one mores." Thumps Up if you feel/felt the same way.

[darpa322]

thinking about all the good old times just kills me too ;(

[darpa322]

thinking about the good old times just kills me too ;(

[retardrepellent]

This song... there's something about it. Do you feel it? Please don't call me crazy. There's SOMETHING about this SONG. It's the same thing as 'Sweet talk, Sweet talk' by the New Pornographers. It's... I don't have the words... some sort of image I get at the line 'Got dirt, got air, got water and I know you could carry on...' Damnit, I need medication...

[ringosis]

@retardrepellent

You're not crazy...you're very, very normal...boring in fact.

[retardrepellent]

@ringosis Thanks?

[CaptainCrunchOwns]

@retardrepellent The nature of music is to place false memories into our minds. Music imbibes us with whispers of emotions and feelings that we feel we can connect with. Those whispers compel us to feel as though we are on the brink of something profound. Almost like a drug.

I know what you mean. Some songs can really manipulate our feelings. I definitely feel it.

You seem the introspective type given the fact that you really gave this a lot of thought. I'm the same way.

[retardrepellent]

@CaptainCrunchOwns While I really appreciate the answer and the fact that my introspection was not met with criticism on youtube, I must say that I laughed at your awesome user name, compared with what you said.

[CaptainCrunchOwns]

@retardrepellent

I wouldn't know what to call it. Listless yearning? (Purposeful contradiction of terms.)

So what made you laugh exactly? The fact that my name implies that I don't take life too seriously, and then I tried to get deep with my comment? I should say the same about your earlier comment!

[retardrepellent]

@CaptainCrunchOwns No, no! Please do not misunderstand, I don't mean that your name is stupid or that you're a hypocrite, I just meant that my impression of you from your name was that yes, you don't take life overly seriously, but I never meant that you failed at being 'deep', or intellectual and capable (God bless you xD) of speaking in decent grammar and without the annoying spelling dyslexia of most others on youtube. And I agree, listless yearning is a good way to put it.

[CaptainCrunchOwns]

@retardrepellent

Haha, I didn't take your comment offensively at all. Just wanted clarification.

Take care, and keep repelling the tards.

[CaptainCrunchOwns]

@retardrepellent Just don't get too caught up in those feelings. They can be paralyzing... like nostalgia or melancholy.

[retardrepellent]

@CaptainCrunchOwns Don't worry, mate, I've already passed the backside of that zone. What is the word to describe this feeling?

[thebreeze1323]

@retardrepellent no you dont. thats what he's saying. you got dirt, got air, got water. you can carry on without any prescriptions man. this song helped me get clean, helped issac get clean. you can too if thats what your going through.

[retardrepellent]

@thebreeze1323 Oi, what do you know about Isaac? Or do you mean someone in the band? And FYI, I've been clean for a while, this is something spiritual. Thanks for the response, though!

[kieran514]

@retardrepellent a certain je ne sais quoi

[retardrepellent]

@kieran514 Hahah! Props for being the only person on the internet who can spell enough french to say "je ne sais quoi". Hats off to Kieran!

[ratmon18]

isnt this song about isaac's past drug life? cuz i did a report on them for music, cuz it was a project about ur favorite band, so i did this 1, and it said that this song revealed his past drug life

[noelrocks4eva]

@ratmon18 Thats exactly what its about

And its true THE SONG IS SO RIGHT

All those times you were fucked up it was a good time

But in the end it was killing you

Ruining relationships and everything.

[Cuervo4992]

turn up the volume. ^_^

[streetkleena]

This song is lyrical genius.

[1969420]

this cd is fucking awesome on acid.

[brncosdood41]

@1969420 your fucking awesome on acid

[katiefloatson]

[arcticjungle6]

i absolutely love this song.

[sergiofarche]

[cclola123]

god, i fucking love modest mouse.

[HeyItsTalae]

this is my theme song =)

[jaimeSeSeS1]

la hermosa verdad!!!!

[SMWssaamm]

do you know where I could get the alternate mix of this?

[Karkenou]

Yes! Who needs the good times?

[o0debs]

i love this song but thers no music!

[wwefantakerkennedy]

@o0debs How so?  :S

[999ReaperIII]

@wwefantakerkennedy they probably had the mute button on, or the volume down, by "accidental occurrence".

[R3D3F1N3R3AL1TY]

@wwefantakerkennedy hes on lsd

[emails2kyle]

@o0debs turn your speakers on xD

[spence9302]

@o0debs turn up the volume!

[TEAMROCKETSAM]

@o0debs turn the volume on bro. lol

[o0debs]

@TEAMROCKETSAM im deaf but thanks. hah jk i can hear it now :D

[sasustefan]

@o0debs turn on your speakers

[sweetnessmartin]

makes you think of the danielson famile

[graham1995]

@o0debs 4 chord songs are not music, i agree

[kpgpwi64]

@graham1995 why? there are some great songs that are only based around 4 chords..

[graham1995]

@kpgpwi64 be that as it may, its not music to me. it lacks charisma. and to me thats key in music

[kpgpwi64]

@graham1995 Yeah I feel you... some songs can be boring with just four chords. but sometimes, depending on what the chords are and the way that they are played, it can be beautiful.. look up This Will Destroy You - "Burial on the Presidio Banks" its only based around 5 "main" chords the middle to end is only 4 chords but the way they are put together makes the song..

[graham1995]

@kpgpwi64 ou its too nice. thanks!

[AceRockollaFan]

love the bass in this song

[ninjalazer23]

@AceRockollaFan love the bass in all mm songs

[bobsnowboardsprod]

This song makes dying from drugs/alcohol not seem so bad LOL

[noelrocks4eva]

@bobsnowboardsprod it isnt man live fast die young!~24e2154r25235r235r32532­5

[bobsnowboardsprod]

@noelrocks4eva

[noble381297]

[woodn88]

[jakers64]

I LOVEEE THISS SONG SOO MUCH !!

[trevinoj007]

this song has a pink floyd feel to it starting @ 1:55 ending @about 2:35

[lawtonaaj]

you know thats how i want to die

[VanzKantDanz]

My friends and I blast this song every time we get blown out on acid. Smoke a bowel, light a cigarette, down your fifth and take some more acid, the good times are killing us all........

[TheSlackerdude]

@VanzKantDanz thats the way to do it man we live similar lives man lol

[Sebastian0093]

=))))))

[dezzman]

I guess the good times (they were all), just killing me!

[wordthatscool]

happy 420

[almiester1234]

"can we smoke in here?"

"yeah eric says its pockets?"

WTF IS HE SAYING THERE

[DessertMix]

@almiester1234

He says "Yeah, Eric has those pockets", which I guess means they're gonna dump their ash in his jeans. Lol

[ZachHuZerdaty]

OK! listen up. In the lyrics in the description you got something wrong bud.

Fed up with all that LSD.

Need more sleep than coke or methamphetamines.

Late nights with warm, warm whiskey.

I guess the good times [they were all], just killing me.

not "ain't wrong".

thanks.

[DIEGOSUNNIE1]

Bad Ass

[1whowants2beadeejay]

This is a kick ass song!

[1whowants2beadeejay]

This is a kick ass song

[DL551]

tune

[joejonaslover67]

my friend showed me this song yesterday and I loved it!:)<333

[mellowinsanfran]

but you are a piece of shit regardless of what you like because you like disney bullshit like the faggot jonas brothers. So fuck off you poser!

[joejonaslover67]

Ok, you are so stupid! WTF, so I say something nice about another kind of music, I would usually never listen to, and you get mad at me, what the fuck is your problem you dick head! And don't tell me to "fuck off," when the one who needs to do it is you!

[mellowinsanfran]

i'm just saying your opinion is worth horseshit. because you obviously don't know what good music is. btw taking a fucking hike and get off the comp fattie

[duvaldallas]

LOLOLOL

[mellowinsanfran]

thank duvaldallas for the LOLOLOL your opinion matters

[duvaldallas]

but dude, it's funny because you were on a computer telling somebody to get off their computer and "take a hike".

do you not see the irony here?

[syym93]

i agree to duv here on that one it highly ironic and if you dont like the music then don't listin to it people come on here to listin and watch stuff they like theres no reason to even come on here and attack something or someone cuz they like a song or band

[Nukkacy]

LOLOLOL i think duv's opinion matters more than yours
