  • its kinda crazy wit da sheep XD but b4 i watches da music vid i saw da lyrics and guitar hero so i ot get dis kinds new? XD

  • ARRG I hear this song all the time!!! >={ On the radio on the comp and on rock band lock-ins. THIS SONG IS GREAT IT IS JUST KINDA CRAZY IF YOU LISTEN TO IT ALL THE TIME

  • Not a bad thing!

  • DOESNT GET BETTER THAN THIS!

  • this song is da shit

  • "Well we'll float on, good news is on the way."

  • OMG I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG XD

  • well, if you lovee it so much why not marry it?

    lol jkjk

  • shit I would if I colud. I love this song too! puts me in a great mood everytime!

  • ahah very nice, im pretty sure i'd marry it as well.. oh no, do u think it would let us BOTH marry it?? i hope so, if not we might just have to duel for it X]

  • ah jeez. lo uhh I think it would let us both. but if not, I would definetly be prepared to duel! ;>

  • high

  • all modest mouse does is make music and music videos...I love it :D

    I'm gonna do that one day

  • This makes me not want to take stupid things too seriously . :)

  • Powerful message

  • awesome... how many songs i'd have never discovered without youtube and myspace. i know modest mouse for so many years, thought it was bullshit. hahahaha

  • Ummm not?

  • Very good song indeed. Not so thrilled with the sheeps going to slaughter though.

  • Me neither. =' (

    Makes me want to be a vegatarian.

  • Good, the world doesn't need any more idiots who think meat is made in the supermarket, If you can't handle the facts of how we get meat and arent ready to slaughter an animal for food then you shouldn't eat it.

  • Gosh. Don't be an ass. I really don't like watching lambs die in a music video. I like eating meat and it is needed for protien unless you want to eat beans all the time but I do feel greatful for the animals that are sacrificed for food and it does make me a little sad.

  • haha, you didn't even see lambs dieing, you just let your imagination run wild.

  • Umm I'm pretty sure they lambs were going to die since that was a slaughter house.

  • i would kill if i had to feed myself.

  • this song is strange, but good. it sorta is saying that life is too short for must of us, but that everything will still be fine. humph.

  • Isaac has always been able to write about the most universal truisms without sounding general, trite or cliche (The Moon and the Anartica is full of songs like that). The genius of this song is that on surface it seems simplistic but the feeling he gets across is far from 'don't worry, be happy'... You get a sense of world-weariness when he sings it, paroxysms of slf-reassurance brought upon by helpless acceptance of the torrent of shit from life's and eventual death. It's heartbreaking.

  • I feel a strange trepidation when I watch this video.

    I fear I may have to fight and die before I've had a chance at love.

    "When you're living your life. Well, that's the price you pay." - (positive/negative)

  • Don't give up.

  • parfait =)

  • Excellent !!!

  • this movies about living and dying, and how not to be afraid if you pass on, that we'll all that float on.

  • movie?

    <('.'<)

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

  • hey cabron

    this is a great video, modest mouse rocks

    i like so much the band and ther music

    the best song i guess is DASHBOARD

    ok cabron c u!!!

  • shutup

  • u shut up u

    u do not tell me shut up u say bad word

  • Can you imagine all that you said drowned in tremolo effects? THAT SHIT WOULD BE GOLDEN. me and you should be in a band.

  • agreed this aint nothing to a band like modest mouse did anyone see hardcore misfits fans bitch when emos started wearing there t-shirts n stuff NO!!! exactly if the fits can handle the fucking emos then yous can handle some fucking rock band wannbes jesus people think its the end of the world coz someone else likes the same band as them they should be happy it makes an increase in record sales how else are they meant to get big

  • i think the reason that people get mad at other people for liking the same band is because most people are just listening to the band because thats what the crowd is listening to basically what im saying is that its just one big bandwagon and soon this band will long be forgotten by those people when that happens it will be a sad day in music history...

  • Don't step on my buzz.

    If you don't love Modest Mouse (although this song is one of their more... 'do what the masses want' ones) then don't comment.

    I don't go to rap videos and say that anyone who listens to them is a fag, so don't do that to a Modest Mouse fan.

  • even though if you do listen to rap it is probably safe to say you are a fag

  • ROFL...ah this comment made my day..

  • plus dude its a FACT! yes i said FACT! that now day rap aint nothing compaird to old school hip-hop MODEST MOUSE 4 EVER!!!!

  • old school or new school. black music is trash.

    TOOL LIFE

  • Nyohttekotte wtf racist much?

  • Long Drive is the only album i ever really paid any kind of attention to...esp when i used to roll and get fucked up...watching chicks walk around topless...and nobody gave a fuck. if you cant just sit and listen to the music...then at least sit and just shut the fuck up so the rest of us can.

  • wow you guys are fags. if you think this song is good listen to old modest mouse. its 1000x better than this.

  • wow buddy calm down. Go take ur ridilin and chill.

  • im calm. you're an idiot.

  • How are you calm and how am i a idiot? You just came in here calling everyone a fag.

  • but you are a fag.

  • takes one to now one

  • take sone retard to know how to mis-spell know...

  • retard you misspelled too

  • hey buddy you spelled some wrong and theres no hyphen in misspelled

  • Kurt man your right, Modest Mouse was great, but now their popular. Their music lost its voice and is now a slave to coorperate records. Its raining on my picnic

  • I still their new stuff is great but nothing compared to their older music. I wish they would make more albums like The Lonesome Crowded West or Long Drive. Those are amazing albums.

    Nice reference BTW.

  • the video was really creepy but i loveee this song play it all the time on ghwt

  • This song reminds me of Really good times with friends.. i wish i could go back in time.. i wouldnt take anything for granted..live in bliss peace to all!

  • hate commenting on this video. Since, they have tons of other good songs. But what a good fucking song-writer.

  • If the guitar riff wasn't so funny and the singing so ridiculous, this would be a really meaningful song. It's really good, though.

  • believe it or not i actually listened to this song over 200 times

    (=

  • this song rocks!!!!

  • yeah but its a sad song if you gust lisgthn to it

  • dood you should use the term jeBus cRist

  • this song is really catchy i love it!

  • this is one of my fav songs, i listen to it all the time

  • i never used to like them but a couple guys have been talking about them the last couple weekends and well they're pretty alright music:)

  • ha ha ha ha ha ha this is my shit

  • I backed my car into a cop car the other day.

    Well he just drove off, sometimes life's OK.

    I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say?

    Well you just laughed it off, it was all OK.

    And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on OK.

    And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on anyway.

    Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with that scam.

    It was worth it just to learn some sleight of hand.

    Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands.

    Good news will work its way to

  • I'll never forget hearing this song for the first 4 years ago. Something about the song got to me in a way that I've never felt before. Today their my #1 inspiration with music and I have all their CDs & EPs..not to mention got me into BETTER music (Built to Spill,Pavement,Pixies,etc.)

  • The guitar riff is what makes this song so catchy

  • i'm sure why, but i have always enjoyed this song. . . it speaks to you in a way where you HAVE to have an open mind. love this!

  • i meant that i'm not sure why ....

  • at karate, when there is nothing to do after we did everything, we dance to this song and its really fun. :) :P

  • love this song <3 it vary good

  • does anyone know how to make this start automatically

  • love Modest Mouse. thanks for posting this.

    see my tribute to "They Live" using "Modest Mouse" (satin in a coffin & float on) on my profile page.

    gotta love it!

  • i used to make fun of this band.. but then the sound grew on me and i realized it doesnt matter that it isnt heavy, it's good music. I know if i can wake up and learn to appreciate something different, maybe other people can too.

  • Awsome!! More people needs to wake up! even if they still don't like this type of music it wouldn't hurt to have a open mind!! I am proud of you!

  • really enjoying this band now... they're awesome.

  • ...when i feel down.

  • love it

  • where'd u get th vid its awsome

  • i watched this vid when i was hi it was confusing

  • I can't believe Franz Ferdinand won the breakthrough video award in 2004 MTV music awards. This band is so much better.

  • you people need to learn how to spell. btw, this video and song are way better than Franz Ferdinand.

  • love this song!

  • obviously probably has something to do with franz... Great vid though

  • this song always reminded me of franz ferdinands take me out for some reason

  • not always...like ur comment lol

  • ....my comment wasnt towards the goodness of the video?...???? (which it is good)

  • not really...but i guess this one is...the other comment was just nuteral. it was a general commetn that u can write anywhere

  • Just take the bad, even if things get too much for you, don't worry, it'll be alright in the end.

    good song for when you're feelin like crap.

  • this song would be perfect of he could just sing alittle better, I like the song and backround music but you can't understand him he sounds drunk

  • alittle but still cool

  • no its about no matter how fucked up somthing can be it will all be ok in the end

    like the lyrics in the song "dont worry even if things end up a bit to heavy will all float on all right"

  • love love love love love love love love love love love love it mon

  • I absolutely love this sone...it always comes on at the right times when I play my ipod..weird

  • im not a big fan of modest mouse but this song is the best. it gives mme such a good feeling.

  • it means whatever you want it to mean, whatever gives you a positive vibe, for me it means we all should just be celebrative, and never be so negative and thrive on unhappiness. we'll all float on in the end! we keep floating!

  • your absolutly right! don't dwell on the bad. well all float on.

  • this song makes me so sad. i cry every time i see it :'( i dont know y...it seemes to me that the sheep die but when u look into the barn they r all ok. so i'm guessing they're saying that when things seem bad they turn out ok in the end. but i have no idea.

  • Im with kosukeynatsuko its makes me feel that way to =D

  • Questa canzone è fantastica nn ce che dire

  • this song makes me want to give life another try lol

  • This is one the rare "feel good" songs,float on could mean anything to different people but I like this song cause it makes me feel good. love this video too.

  • Its a band named after the austrian duke franz ferdinand

  • i just love this song

  • I like the song and the video

  • modest mouse rocks

  • " and we'll all float on, okay"

  • ya it does sound like franz

  • *cringing* nobody hit me, but this reminds me of franz ferdinand...or i should say they remind me of this...ok...now please dont bash me...b/c i do like this...A LOT...*continues cringing*

  • Not gonna bash you man, it does sound like Franz, i actually thought those guys sang this when i first heard it on the radio. But this song really speaks to me. Ill put up a poll, what is everyone opinion on what this song means?

  • i agree i thought this was franz because of the music video but this song tells me when the tough get rough u dont get going and u float on ok ^_^

  • I'm not sure. I see sheep. And a factory. Maybe these sheep die. but they just float on. Or maybe it's saying when bad thing's happen you should just float on, and go with it "I backed my car into a cop car the other day. Well he just drove off sometimes life's ok."

    and also "Well, a fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam. It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand" That just say's to me that when bad things happen it's best to go on. To Float On.
