modest mouse-invisible

[LanguageOfTheMind]

I get stoned and play hacky sack in a circle

This guy takes his clothes off and plays with him self

... somethings not right

[meigsy1]

Thats how Im going to kick 7 people in the taint!

[meigsy1]

Thats how Im going to kick 7 people in the taint!

[kamilean]

True!

[kamilean]

Hey Lon! You just owned that video! Nice Work to Modest Mouse, and Big Respects to you for the inspiration!

Peace to all the Tru Freestylers at Heart!

Kamilean.

[thegameturtle]

this guy is on my soccer team!!!!

[ShockwaveLenro]

I love their music and I enjoy their music videos.

I just don't quite understand what they're about most of the time.

[ICgoateee]

How does the asian not know how to work the tv remote?? XD

[thevividdream]

0:18 LESTER! OMG

[ZohnnyCage]

The first chorus just cools my blood. So merciful.

[superdracoid]

That guys balls have magical powers

[Dionemesis]

Lon's shred is sick and he's awesome in this video. Check out more footbag videos on youtube!

[ihavevideoatoo]

Fun Fact: Hes only dancing all that stuff with the hackey sack was by accident

[jmebeer]

@ihavevideoatoo

youre just jealous of my boyfriend

[josh02231]

"footbagger" sounds dirty

[poeticvariance]

Modest Mouse can do know wrong, in my humble opinion.

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@poeticvariance they could stop blessing the world with their works of magic and wonderment

[poeticvariance]

@m3iscoolerthanyou And then I would cry. For a very long long time. But they would never do such a thing, unless for a very VERY valid reason. Such as death. maybe.

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@poeticvariance i dont find that a good enough excuse. ;(

[poeticvariance]

@m3iscoolerthanyou Hence the maybe. They will live forever and produce music forever, one way or another.

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@poeticvariance or at least untill 2012, lol

[poeticvariance]

@m3iscoolerthanyou At least it would take us all, (Although I laugh in the face of 2012 mostly because they said it was the year the calendar was to end, not the end of the world) And then Modest Mouse could play music for us in "heaven". There is ALWAYS a way.

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@m3iscoolerthanyou good thing for MM is that if there is heaven and hell and isaac goes to hell 4 being atheist then he would be moved to heaven because it wouldnt be hell anymore

[SUPERyoshi95]

lol how is Chuck Norris related to this Modest Mouse Song. I think this song is WAY better than Chuck Norris x)

[lord0nihilus]

i would get outta my car and go hack with him man.

[trogdortheenchidna]

the songs shortened in this vid. gayy

[Thejbirdy]

the Talking Heads have nothing on these guys....LOL.

[SchlockingFilms98]

@Thejbirdy agreed. I quite like Talking Heads, but Modest Mouse are far greater IMO

[Thejbirdy]

@SchlockingFilms98 Hell yeah! Talking heads had their day but my buddy from Va. Tom Peloso's band M.M. KICKS ASS~!! LOVE THESE GUYS.

[JERZEY555]

haha i dont know why this video made me laugh

[mattkudzu]

this guy is just Riverdancing. The bag was added with cgi later.

[irurwurst]

@mattkudzu

I doubt they'd get a proffessional soccer player to come in if they didn't want him to actually juggle the ball.

[jmebeer]

@mattkudzu you wish

[baldingmoose]

wtf this video is whack. 

[myspacecomrogiie]

lmfao @ pro footbagger that was funny thanks for the laugh, i enjoy blazing and footbagging is good times

[SillyGilly777]

Pro footbagger? buddy must be the T-bag champ!

[madbomber82]

i love this song and the power hacking is pretty cool

[arashirq]

One of the best bands of our time! Great song.

[hoffiehoff]

Dude, I've traded magic cards with that guy, I feel so cool now.

[WhoAreI11]

Man, a lot of people think that this isn't an actual music video.

This video was made and shot by Modest Mouse for the song Invisible, including the edit of the song. This isn't an edit by Wudpushr, it's made for the video. Lon Smith was hired solely for the purpose of shooting this music video.

[Yarrrgh]

I love this song

but modest mouse have really got to get themselves some better videos

I half thought this was an advertisement at first

good skills from that guy though

[buckleyxx]

easily the best song on we were dead, this song really deserved its own video. This is an ok cut and paste job but the song is 3:59 long on the album.

[looshkin66]

i wish they would of done vid for this song instead of we've got everything or fire it up.

[Hastaj00]

The whole album was so fantastic, I really don't think it's the best on it... a great closer though.

[jmebeer]

@buckleyxx your a good cut and paste job

[thescarydancer]

freakin awesome hackyscaker

[ratmon18]

the vid's about how people never noticed this guy, even knowing he was like annoyin them.... lol.. i love this band, and the song's okay.. lol but th vid is like so simple xD but i love it

[gaphary]

I think there's some other meaning but it's to vague to know.

[scaroni39]

i like this song.. im more into there older stuff but hell its modest mouse so all their stuff is great.. the beginning guitar reminds me of dashboard

[Hellsing130]

thi song is sweet

[BMXorHOMICIDE]

of course this song is sweet it tells all those idiots theres no such thing as a "soul"

well your nawt invisiballllllllllllllllllllll­llllleeeee!!!..."i knew that"

[captainmurphy52]

it can be neither proved or disproved with physical science. and that is how it should be.

[Markau102]

Well, let's do some algebra, captainmurphy, 15x+8=158. If we do the equation, we can figure out that x = 10 indefinitely. The same method can be applied to whether there is a soul, and the scientific community does. When you have the whole equation, a variable can only be one thing.

[looshkin66]

i have those exact rod lavers....

[dudesons441]

Awesome song. Fucked up video.

[Ajjs87]

that guy is trying to jerk lol

[levitarbell]

omfg if i could hacksack like that i would rule the world thats freaking bomb!

[wingate2497]

the guitar in the beginning, i thought, sounded like U2!!! haha

[WatsonMeyer3]

lon, you're a beast keep on truckin tow boy

[eddiehellohaha]

song and video, awesome

[fsk8r3]

great song, even better video

[popatire23]

how the fuck did people get on the subject of led zepplin on a modest mouse vid?!

and btw, the vid was fuckin awesome!

[captainmurphy52]

meh, zeppelin is kind of kosher discussion on any music video because they inspired everything virtually. directly or indirectly.

[popatire23]

aah

this is true

[morelgungo]

i think the point of the video / song is saying a lot of talent goes unnoticed.

[nickconfidental]

my friend has a dirt bag. that's a pretty good sack. my other friend has a sleaze bag. also a good sack. I have a rather nice one.

also modest mouse is the best band since forever.

[DelbertDUHH]

not the best, the best band past the 90's easily though.

led zeppelin holds the best band ever put together :]

[nickconfidental]

ehhhh.... no. i diagree. Zeppelin is a great band however they weren't THEBEST band ever put together. there can never be just one.

[Capitalocracy]

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE

*holds up sword, gets struck by lightning, eye pops out*

[Epixxx951]

Define "best band". Rofl. Impossible in my opinion

[pap3rplat3]

haha i hate led zepplin. IMO, Modest Mouse = the best ever.

[DelbertDUHH]

What led zeppelin did while they were together was produce some of the GREATEST music ever. Every single song they ever made is superior than most music today, the talent that was needed to make the stuff they did was incredible. Im not saying all bands now days suck, cause they dont, but Led Zeppelin.

[Bubbly203]

zepplin sux asshole

[dagreat1s]

If we're speaking in terms of dirt and sleaze, well, then my sack has been diagnosed with elephantitis.

[nickconfidental]

do you have a nit sack? I own a hemp sack that is really quiet in play. i named her whisper.

[bubbalonious1]

Just looked up the meaning of this song. It has to do with basically death and how technology is bad etc.

[jayme1992]

What did you use wikipedia?

[bubbalonious1]

Don't get the video, but it definitely fits. 5 stars. =)

[VincyEnMindy]

i'm not saying this is what it stands for but this is how i interprit the clip:

no matter what you do, no matter how impressif, people don't pay attention to you unless you sit in your car, because then they need to watch out for you

around 2:50 he realizes this

[madbomber82]

i thougt the video went great with the song but i like anything that modes mouse dose #1 fan

[nirvana1869]

Chuck Norris Approves.

[cobaltchurch13]

Ok Chuck Norris got his ass handed to him by Bruce Lee. I think its time people recognize that. Chuck Norris may be able to do a bunch of shit, but he's Bruce Lee's bitch.

[morelgungo]

HAY, Chuck Norris got owned by Bruce Lee, but when Chuck gets killed in a movie he doesn't die for real.

[cobaltchurch13]

That was his son that died in a movie. Bruce Lee died from breaking a bunch of cinderblocks at once.

[HaydeeJimenez15]

that's not cool lol XD

[rougestr]

Chuck norris is not real, just like dinosaurs

[HaydeeJimenez15]

but there's fossils EVERYWHERE lol :)

[rougestr]

fossils are made in factories by the goverment this is what they do in area 51

[HaydeeJimenez15]

you sound like my brother XD lol

but seriously?? then how can they be scattered world wide? :T

[rougestr]

they have the help of the alieans because obama and the martians are tight we ship the bones to the martians during space launches and they spread them around the world

[HaydeeJimenez15]

lmao!!! you gotta be fucking kidding me haha XD

[rougestr]

hehe =D

[mildred7]

@rougestr hahahaha

[sk8enjoi000]

area-51 aint real dude, if there was an area-51, or any other completely top secret govt place thingy base thing, NONE of us civilians would know

[rougestr]

every single bit of what i said in previous comments is sarcasm i'd have to be pretty far out to beilieve in any of that

[sk8enjoi000]

OMG.... i am so fuckin stupid i cant beleive i didnt know that was sarcasm.... i FAIL

[rougestr]

your pretty good at it yourself, and if you did know it was sarcasm then why did you go on to tell me area 51 isn't real blah blah blah

[sk8enjoi000]

lol know really i didnt know it was sarcasm dude, im not kidding i FAIL haha

seriously, no joke

[rougestr]

no worries

[havoktheonly]

@cobaltchurch13 here's where you're wrong... bruce lee won the battle... chuck norris won the war! last i checked bruce lee is dead!!! SNAP CRACKLE POP!!

[rangerstubbs76]

@havoktheonly Chuck Norris wound up making commercials for an excersize machine. That's not winning a war, that just makes him as dead as Bruce is in the end. Oh, and Chuck's fantabulous "Delta Force" movies. 65 year old Lee Marvin did as much kicking ass as Chuck did. Next you'll probably say that Steven Segal and Wesley Snipes are better than Jet Li and Jackie Chan...

[yamaha85number17]

@havoktheonly this isn't a fucking rice crispy commercial.

[rangerstubbs76]

@cobaltchurch13 I'd agree that Chuck is kinda like The Karate Kid compared to Mr. Miagi when you compare him to Ol' Bruce.

[ferret12]

@cobaltchurch13 But Bruce Lee's dead, Norris isn't.

[shadow54656]

@cobaltchurch13 he's alive... bruce lee isn't... chuck norris wins now shut the fuck off you bruce lee fanboy. I bet you don't even know his history. Later

[LanceFromWoW]

@cobaltchurch13 Bruce lee is dead ergo chuck noris beat him at life

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@LanceFromWoW chuck norris can speak brail, but Modest Mouse can play it live.

[tntgod]

@cobaltchurch13 ummm sorry to tell you but that was not chuck that was a guy dressed up like him so chuck send bruce lee to kill himn case chuck norris was beating the crap out of god over a donut

[titoman0650]

@cobaltchurch13 chuck norris let bruce lee kill him so he could kick his ass at death. the true winner is still chuck norris. and chuck norris basically told me this himself. (my grandfather is his accountent).

[masterp2214]

@titoman0650 thats not how u spell accountant

[titoman0650]

@masterp2214 haha your right.

[titoman0650]

@masterp2214 *you are*

[Whiteanger2]

@titoman0650 are you nuts!?bruce lee is way better than chuck norris!better trained,better disciplined,better skilled and stronger,faster and more talented than chuck norris!chuck norris jsut stared in bruce lee's movies and then his own...after he stared in his own look at him now!HE SELLING FUCKING TOTAL GYMS!!

[titoman0650]

@Whiteanger2 im not gonna lie i love them both. bruce lee was an amazing martial artist, he was crazy though & thats y i respect him so much. did u know he had this crazy machine that he would shove his fingers into? each hole had a different electrical charge that would shock him. the final hole would shock him so bad it would knock his ass out. he did this regularly in the thoughts that it would make him a faster better stronger fighter..

but truely idk who i like more.

p.s. TOTAL GYMS ROCK

[NeptuneMS385]

@cobaltchurch13 Wait WHAT? Where did you get either of those people from this?

[ohmydaysification]

@cobaltchurch13 there's a reason they call them movies ;P

[345jackass345]

pro footbaging rocks

[gaphary]

"Well be crushed by the ocean but it will not get us wet" is such an awesome line and ending !!!

[ProFunTampa]

Woot i see them march 9th!

[Orlishka]

props lon smith :)

[Ayeetbolz]

modest mouse is the shit in all, but this video sucks ass

[sample45]

rockin those rod lavers... too bad they dont come in black.

[theimpax]

I have a black pair

[LaXtotheMaX16]

i have the hacky sackers shoes!

great song i agree, does have some aspects of dashboard.

[nathan42285]

love the song i just wish i could do that

[samuraijackson09]

it reminds of their song dashboard

[mileses]

yeah me too

[mabryzealand]

Great song, but I am not the biggest fan of the video.

[lumberjackconnor]

same, i just got the album, and this is by the far the best song on it

[dmrick]

I love how wrong the lyrics are on the internet for this song. I have the deluxe We Were Dead album which includes a booklet with all of the lyrics on the album. The lyrics are completely different...

[Rittto4]

you're right. i've seen for missed the boat, "Carried it off so well" and "Carried it all so well" and idk which is right

[dmrick]

carried it all so well is right.

[Rittto4]

neither make sense, which is good

[kneerak]

oh man he fucked up the hack and he was doing so  well.

[reckCRO]

i love the part at 'bout 2 minutes when the song is slow and just goes faster and faster,it sends shivers down my spine

modest mouse rule!

[yusufband]

i shuld do that

[pspman627]

this song can be described by one word... intense

[rsssssx]

that intro is the shit

[pistolpete342]

great vid

modest mouse is awesome

[gummy52]

The message is simple, you can't hide in your car. What you're hiding from and what the car symbolizes is up to the viewer.

[physiksproblem]

this video is shorter than the real song by like 35sec, they must have left out a verse.

Great song.

[puredemo]

Powerful and inspiring.

[ModestZealot]

powerful

[shawnsgotbomb]

you may not know this but lon smith also makes wonderful peanutbutter and jelly and banana sandwichs

[theimpax]

and he kicks ass at skipping rocks...I think ill call him up for a skipping session right now

[burton5995]

haha thats a sick soccer player

[WillDigges]

He's not a soccer player at all, he is a footbag player.

[gbunnylsd]

Invisible inside your car means that we don't see ourselves doing any harm in our cars, but the effects our invisible. Basically, we're going to make the saline dream, or salty dream like ocean come up and fall on our earth. It's going to meet the sky, etc. Most of their songs our about global warming.

[samdewfoo]

this song is about global warming

[Shoresee]

Explain please.

[LimitPushing]

hahahahahaha wait wait wait...its about global warming? hahahahahaha

[yeahismokeweed]

......you must be a very simple person

[Magetalion2000]

Yes, explain please. Isaac Brock is probably one of the most apathetic people on this planet, so I have a hard time believing he would write anything political or otherwise.

[yeahismokeweed]

false

[marisel76]

ever notice how people always act like nobody can see them when they're inside a car? first time I've heard this song but I've noticed that.

why doesn't he have pants?

[crazygrant418]

because footbag and pants don't mix

[modestmouse2112]

Modest Mouse is playing at the Tweater Center, MA on June 13

[PancakeFlaunter]

its about how nobody pays any mind to anybody, and it's spreading the concept of freestyle footbag!

[xraistlininblackx]

weird but very cool video.... i love MM and might see them with my cousin in a couple years when i am old enough that my mom will let me lol

[BYoung0088]

OH man, i feel so bad for you. I just saw them last November and it was amazing. Im seeing them again in May... or was it June. But anyway, the wait will be worth it. You'll see them many times. One isn't enough.

[modestmouse2112]

Moset Mouse is playing at the Tweater Center, MA on June 13

[janayana]

It looks like he's dancing. I love this song. Great video.

[RadarMusicVideos]

bizarre but interesting skill

[zach4th]

really cray skillz!!

[urdeepdarksecret]

this is as awsome as it can get ^_^

[MarekGFC]

Oldschool!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

lon rules. i feel important for knowing him. lol he showed me how he does that with keys one time. it was neat.

[elementalftball]

They just go along pretending not to notice and they are invisible to the problem, like it won't affect them. Thus the footballer is the problem (metaphorically, that shit was crazy) and everyone pretends not to notice, but they aren't invisible inside their car.

[elementalftball]

actually i think the video works really well with the song, Brock's lyrics are so dynamic and great, that you can pull multiple meanings from them, but i got that this song is about how people go about their daily lives with out doing anything to help anything.

[zxy0178]

yea i reli love the song but the video is a little off

[thedrumking94]

like the skills but the video doesn't really fit the song

[BalinorNZ]

Awesome exposure, good job Lon :)

[rickyricardo123]

pretty good

[Lupus6]

that guy is my hero

[Ndeschamps0]

Its bothering me how some people are saying they don't like the video, it takes so long to master footbag, some players have been playing for 10 years and are still looking to hit bigger tricks

[rubbishville]

What idiotic people [in the video]...

I'm probably one of them, aren't I?

[Joshywuff]

Under the rights granted to me by the First Amendment, thus stating I am entitled to an opinion and freedom of speech, I say this video and song are ****in' kick ass.

Disagree? Well, that's your God-given right to free will and individuality.
