Styrofoam Boots/It's All Nice on Ice, Alright - Modest Mouse

[SlaikeProductions]

fucking amazing



[josiahsixkiller]

This record reminds me of my best days in Seattle, in the rain, alone listening to this at Kapow Coffee, before the gentrification and yuppies, lonesome crowded west indeed...

[QuieterBeMeWatch]

I'm actually a fairly religious guy, but I'm also a huge Modest Mouse fan, and I appreciate the lyrics here quite a bit. Seriously, Isaac Brock knows what he's talking about. I'm not ashamed to play a cover of this at a coffeehouse for my church, just because the music is so good.

[angiec]

I think they'll forever be my favorite band.

It's not even that I love a few of their songs, or like certain ones more than others. I go through phases with each song. I'll listen to one nonstop for a week straight and then rediscover another and go through the same thing. I love all their songs. They're perfect.

[F00LSG0LD215]

Enough of listening to Mouse Modest on Youtube. Time to go out buy the whole collection on vinyl. As I do that I'm going to dust off the ole CD player from high school and start my collection from the first CD I bought to the last (only missing blue cadet, interstate 8 and sad sappy sucker "tear") Ahh well now off to find some double A batteries :)

[PolishSz]

Play this at my funeral, for fuck's sake.

[AnonymousTheMusician]

modest mouse changed my life

[billsnation83]

Someone play this to the religious romantics. Please.

[JaiiStereo]

God Takes Care Of Himself, And You Of You.

[dprotz]

my whole body was shaking by the end

[Krikonn]

best part about this song is i can't figure out what emotion to tack on to it - even the vague ones no one talks about. it's ambiguous. and even though i can't assign a specific emotion to it, it has a hold on me and i get the shivers. paradoxical, i know.

[flagbomb44]

Drums= Amazing!

[Skibsie]

some reason i like this song more than any other modest mouse song. Love the way he sings the start bit

[simsurplus1]

lol 13 dislikes

[Destructerator]

best band to listen to when you're ever thinking about god, life, death, and the universe

[sgtgreenthumb]

@Destructerator or just breathing

[rakuencallisto]

@Destructerator Or on LSD. Which is basically the same thing.

[Katie1Lynn3]

I want to be buried with this cd on repeat.My only request.

[imjohnandyouare]

@Katie1Lynn3 Can we get married and die with Lonesome Crowded West on full blast?

[rakuencallisto]

@Katie1Lynn3 I think I completely agree with you.

[D3viluti0n]

the drums at the end are awesome. speeding up... NOW!

[falkin42]

I'm almost positive it's supposed to be "breath" but i like to think of it as "brother" sometimes too. I find myself doing that a lot with this album, actually.

[MEYERS3000]

Perfect way to end a perfect album.

[rakuencallisto]

He said that, "God that's take of himself, God takes care of himself, you and you."

Think on that.

[Oriente7]

@rakuencallisto I thought it was god takes care of himself, and you of you? Either way its thought inspiring

[Caligulardicus]

Those drums startle the shit out of me every time.

[seamusk]

@Caligulardicus I always expect them earlier

[ANeonTiger]

@Caligulardicus Haha I know what you mean. In a good way though. Love this song.

[RGLMotorsports]

This was the song that got me hooked on Modest Mouse

[RGLMotorsports]

He looks just like Crisco Disco, Brother 100% Listerine

[nofatchickscky2k]

@RGLMotorsports *Breath 100% Listerine

[faithlikesuicide]

@nofatchickscky2k Its brother 100% listerine, sorry man/woman dont pay any mind to lyrics pages

[nofatchickscky2k]

@faithlikesuicide I'm pretty sure... almost certain that he says "breath," but hey, it's an awesome song however you hear it.

[faithlikesuicide]

@nofatchickscky2k true true

[Spr4ynPr4y]

@faithlikesuicide

it's "breath one hundred percent listerine, it says so in the cd's booklet.

I mean, if you actually owned the album, you would know this, right?

[ThePigBlimp]

Isn't there?

[Oriente7]

Thumbs up if your playing this song over and over.

[Oriente7]

GOD TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF, GOD TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF, AND YOU OF YOU! I want to go to a concert just for this song.

[iEatBoneDust]

@Oriente7 I saw them live in 2000 I think, they played this, it was great.

[sstyblo]

This song happened to be playing in the background when I was the highest I've ever been on philosophy..great memory: sleep deprived, coffee ridden dawn, last paper of a degree emailed in the knick of time..best philo high yet

[cycleman88]

0:00 , i actually posted this for myself, so i can listen to it over and over and over and over and over again

[harrison19283746]

11 people dont own styrofoam boots that are nice on ice, alright?

[mranonam]

@harrison19283746 I mean, I don't have any either...but I still liked this.

[seth11247]

easily my favorite song on my favorite album by my favorite band

[fender11bender11]

man how do people let themselves be distracted from the pure sweet holy awesomeness of this song by petty arguments....both of you are dumb as hell there i settled it hold your applause

[TheGrantGregory]

@sockpuppetmartinez l2reply please.

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@sockpuppetmartinez Oops I guess I should have been more considerate to your obvious learning disabilities, I should've known trying to get you to read more than 6 words would make your head explode. You poor retarded thing.

And for those of you stopping by to read this take a look at my first response to this guy. He's honestly telling me that was too much to read. Yea, he's THAT pathetic.

[ThePigBlimp]

@irvingcsaltzburg this made me lol thanks

[Diamob]

@irvingcsaltzburg mmmm duuuurrr youtube argument durrrrrrr

[irvingcsaltzburg]

@sockpuppetmartinez You're a rapist. There, now no one can give you their money or personal admiration ever again. By your logic you can't even give yourself money or admiration either so you might as well kill yourself. Considering how unbelievably stupid you are the world would be better off if you did. Fucking idiot.

[Darky15M]

well I'll be damned

[stickman225]

ITS ALL NICE

ON ICE

ALL RIGHT

[Oriente7]

@stickman225 He said you were right on no ones running this whole thing, he had a theory too, he said GOD TAKES CARE OF HIMSELF, YOU of YOU!!!

[PunksWithGuns]

Who needs ice when you have modest mouse?

[tomjayrodnoble]

@sockpuppetmartinez thats a good one.....

[Gtampa21]

i love how when this song kicks off around 2:40 it makes anything your doing epic!

[Etpwnhome]

People give both money and personal admiration to the Pope and he personally endorses child rapists.

[tomjayrodnoble]

@Etpwnhome yeah and they believe in god

[musiclover01ization]

@tomjayrodnoble Will you not bring a religious debate on here?

[ThePigBlimp]

@musiclover01ization i dont see any thing religious in what he said?

[MrAverePaura]

@ThePigBlimp Well there are obvious religious references in his lyrics. But it just takes an open mind to look past it and enjoy the lyrics, right? :P

[iEatBoneDust]

@ThePigBlimp There is nothing religious in what he said.

[tomjayrodnoble]

@sockpuppetmartinez I admire Isaac

[imjohnandyouare]

@sockpuppetmartinez He was never found guilty, he was just accused. I accuse you of raping a cow. by your logic you are now guilty of raping a cow. Goddamned cow rapist

[HipHipForChe]

I want to see a movie that is like a modest mouse song, if you know what I mean.

[itsezmmkay]

@HipHipForChe you are welcome! watch?v=6_pnlYYHO1g

[freakshowv]

ITS ALL NICE ON ICE ALRIGHT!!! I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG ALRIGHT!!!

[TravenV]

I think ice may have two meanings one the thin ice we skate everyday...

[38robtime]

@TravenV I think you're silly, drink some liquor

[TravenV]

@38robtime

Well all's not well

but i'm told that it'll all be quite nice

you'll be drowned in boots like Mafia

but your feet will still float like Christ's

Well i'll be damned

they were right

i'm drowning upside down

my feet afloat like Christ's

[smokeak47]

gowdy is on point.

[ccamps28]

There's not a song on this album that I don't like!

[JailBiggum]

what's ice?

[scooterrobowns]

@JailBiggum The stuff you use to cools stuff off. Now get off of this video, child.

[Dawgtha]

@JailBiggum Crystal meth.

[Turdfergazin]

@JailBiggum Meth

[awesome132423]

when the drums kick in. i feel like i could be shot and just lift away the pain and keep living as if nothing happened.

[shafer0292]

@awesome132423 i listen to this song everyday

[sillybunnns]

2 people dislike this song! Did 2 hamsters vote, then?

[ysgaisyih]

i dont wanna start a thing, i love modest mouse, but i heard isaac is a cocky prick irl.

[MrBuzzardb8]

@ysgaisyih

no sir...he's good people

[ysgaisyih]

@MrBuzzardb8 ill take ur word, i was buddies with a guy who used to play a lot of shows in Lawrence kansas durring a time when ryan adams was through there a lot and he said he ran into isaac a few times and was very put off, funny thing is he is a big fan too.

[tomjayrodnoble]

@ysgaisyih well he has the right to be

[ysgaisyih]

@tomjayrodnoble true dat. :) i've worn this album out twice.

[yorty007]

great track of many

[jakewhoskate]

It's all nice on ice alright!!

[bmxcanada26]

When I listen to this song I just want to run as fast as I can, for no apparent reason, with no real desination, for as long I as I can. Then run more.

[youfaggots]

I want to make sex to this song

[natojacobs5]

Crisco Disco!

[BaBaBaBaBirdman]

@natojacobs5 what does Crisco Disco mean to you?

[lopizmine]

its like being at a dance club where the floor is covered in animal shortening

[bholsten22]

christ !!!!!!!!!!!!

[nostarwars]

and i'll be damned!

[GravityRides]

One, Two, Three.......Four

[lunabobrawr1]

this songs the shit

[DIGFOOL]

...the 2 people who dislike this song XD

[mygerman07]

2:42....wasn't ready for that, a nice suprise

[saltyshoelace]

@mygerman07 Makes me flinch every time I listen to it with headphones on, people in school look at me like I'm a freak.

[mygerman07]

2:42....wasn't ready for that, a nice suprise

[fs07]

I would kill to write lyrics like isaac brock

[dylanfran2009]

@fs07 yeah kinda went downhill with "we've got everything" tho...lost depth there

[DIGFOOL]

@fs07 i already have. O.O

[antiher074]

well, ill be damned.

[MikeWyeth]

what is this song about anyways i have a few ideas but not quite sure.

[corncornrocks]

@darthsarth

it can be argued that the taste of tuscan whole milk is equal, perhaps even greater than, these Italian soft drinks you speak of. go on amazon.com and search for the tuscan whole milk...see the true power.

[dylanfran2009]

@corncornrocks there is no way tuscan whole milk is better than chocolate soldiers, yohoos, or coca-cola frosties. no way.

[corncornrocks]

@darthsarth

that's right. tuscan whole milk. the greatest beverage known to modern man.

[ilikecheese1011]

I got chills the first time I heard this song when the drums came in.  I was just thinking to myself, "this is...a perfect song"

[MassHero]

It's just so hard....I mean this band and song.....it's just perfection. Almost so much so that I might have to kill myself from not being able to listen to them 24 hours a day. What? I don't know, I'm high.

[corncornrocks]

this is definitely up there with their best shit.

[gowdy11]

Who ever dislikes this song, deserves to be shot.

[yamaha85number17]

@gowdy11 2 people reported dead...both shot in the head.

[ferret12]

@gowdy11 Why?

[MrJasonRichards]

@gowdy11 no no, they need to be slowly disassembled with a toe nail clipper!

[WooSuckyMyBalls]

@gowdy11 In the Mooth with a 30-30

[toxickatie]

@gowdy11

2 people deserve to be shot =(

[stephengerondakis]

@gowdy11 Too easy....THEY NEED TO BE TORTURED!

[shafer0292]

if only i can like times 1000 :[

[butterflyzombies45]

@gowdy11 that's a little intense. maybe not shot but run over with a 1920's style bicycle.

[Oriente7]

@gowdy11 "dislikED" hhehehehe

[mrcapnd]

@gowdy11 Then shoot me.

[prealmonte]

@mrcapnd

why are you listening?

[rapeskippy]

dude modest mouse brings me back to my freshmen year

[MatthewI365]

this is one of my favorite modest mouse songs

[corncornrocks]

i listen to this while drinking tuscan whole milk

[wakaheenie]

It's all nice on ice alright! Songs about doin drugs listen closer you fool

[skicam16]

My absolute favorite Modest Mouse song :)

[CyberLunchbox]

This song reminds me of the sad part of a movie were all the friends are splitting up and regretting everything they've done.

[kitrenee59]

this song is why i have a modest mouse tattoo

[dannyboy11490]

@kitrenee59 badass

[brbtokillyou]

He says looking at something else But directing everything to me "Every time anyone gets on their knees to pray Well, it makes my telephone ring And I'll be damned" He said, "You were right No one's running this whole thing" He had a theory, too He said that God takes care of himself God takes care of himself And you of you

[vealshanker]

mayo by the spoonful may induce vomit.

[LowlifeIII]

I love 5:33 - 6:53

[delamuka]

they are my favourites!

[superdildo4yourface]

IZ brock for life.

[xTripps]

IZ forever.

[masreeb]

isaac is undeniabley right about everything

[braenard1]

Not his new album.

[punchNathan]

Too beautiful

[nottommy333]

Some of the most interesting lyrics in any song ever. "God takes care of himself. God takes care of himself and you of you".

[LaSexorcisto3]

LCW is deffinately my favorite mouse album

[CommanderVolframm]

It's got the 'weird' vibe down to a T, certainly. This is pretty much my favourite song on the ablum, possibly fav by the band as a whole.

[muthahoho]

Deez doodz iz totally kickin' "it." Heck yes, my friends, dey most definitely be "kickin' it." Gay sex is the best! Long live gay love, my friends..."

[TreeKicker97]

i just heard this song for the first time....holy fuck, it made me love modest mouse even more

[skgreen443]

i wonder what this songs means... or what what made him want to write it

[SSJkiller]

Why does life have to be so nice on ice....

[jimbeamerziggy]

anybody know where to find the other version of this song where isaac takes the part at the end "god takes care of himself and you of you" and goes nuts with it, i like that version better but can only find the one from the cd on the tube.

[si1verflare]

I love how so many of MM's songs tie into each other. The line 'anytime anyone gets on their knees to pray well it makes my telephone ring and I'll be damned!' adds a layer of meaning to the first song on the album, Teeth Like God's Shoeshine, where the music breaks down completely: 'And the telephone goes off. . . Pick the receiver up, try to meet ends and find out the beginning, the end and the best of it.' That kind of stuff happens all over their albums.

[nottommy333]

It is awesome how they do that.

[vealshanker]

riding my bike on a Summer night, no hands, all the way back. Gentle Makers buzz. a cigarette. And this song...

[JBrrou]

me too, but no cigarettes, more lik a stinky cheeseburger taste in my mouth

[porlet271]

@vealshanker anything better?

[MrJasonRichards]

@vealshanker ive totally been in that exact situation! wow

[shotdavisROTA]

@vealshanker I couldn't imagine a better way to listen to this song, awesome

[imkarmaboosted]

run your OWN world, everything will still be fine.

[MrGrizzban]

Dylan esque

[corncornrocks]

yeah until the end i thought this was very dylan.
