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
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]
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
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
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!
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.)
i wish i could personally thank modest mouse for this song. for the message this song gives. everytime i hear it i feel strange but good. such a good song to listen to when ur goin to bed to.
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.
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!
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.
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.
*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'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.
