[lilyhasbrighteyes]

All the comments are so chill on Minus The Bear videos. No shit about Justin Bieber. Just nice people appreciating music. Ah :)))!

[Teeelop]

@lilyhasbrighteyes You just did what you were glad wasn't happening.

Dumb ass.

[93ctheo]

I have been gettting into old school hip hop lately but idk I always come back to this song. Its intoxicating how relaxing it is.

[pbhustler4]

Agreed. The park bench quote was cool

[Stonedassassin92]

Let's get a bong, and smoke alone tonight. Lol i just wish those were the lyrics. But i love the mentality of these guys. "Sitting on a park bench that's older than my country". So down to earth, and so lovely. This song is enlightenment.

[hahntheorc666]

@Stonedassassin92 HAHAHAHAHA i completely agree with you!

[TheBrianDunham]

Everyone has their own opinion, but to me, this is one of the greatest songs ever written... And I like all kinds of music: rock, hip hop, oldies, classical, jazz - not just indie or math rock.

[thewood91]

[leightonguitar]

@sniperer90 haha good music..? GREAT music haha

[coolkazza888]

@leightonguitar i love how if this were any other band, or video, this would have been a massive bitch fight haha but since its mtb, its all chilled and everyones friends :)

[leightonguitar]

@coolkazza888 honestly dude, like its mtb, how could you NOT be chill while listening? its impossible to be mad while hearing any mtb song...

[pikachusevilmuffin]

@leightonguitar and get some culture!!!

[theMuranosBand]

If you like this you might like my band called "the Muranos". (specifically the songs "the Burgandy Seven" and "Laozi"). We are influenced by minus the bear and all the beautiful things in life. Please subscribe if you like what you hear.

[coolkazza888]

sucks that i can't get a hold of any of their albums in australia :/ only one i could find was omni. its a gr8 album, i just wanna get some of their earlier stuff

[nlo13]

this song means so much to me. so many memories

[AlexKleinRules]

this is my favorite song by them, brings back such incredible memories.

[mynamesnotdana]

omg yes.

[enneyehc13]

[TheSh3lbitch]

[SugarFreeTargets]

@TheSh3lbitch No good bro. Get out and get someone to drink with!

[gnunn84]

GREAT SONG!

[TheSasquatchAssassin]

@tamkukushka I never knew that "spanish comedy" is appropriate for only a certain decade.....

[realityisinward]

SO FUCKING AWESOME LIVE :)

[TheSasquatchAssassin]

@tamkukushka .......I can't tell if this is sarcasm. Or you are indeed a schizophrenic...

Either way......

Que?

[TheSasquatchAssassin]

@tamkukushka No Hablo Ingles?

Shut the fuck up and go listen to what YOU want to. Stop deliberately finding bands you hate and just posting a useless comment that the great fans will forget. Minus the bear sure as hell is not boring to me. or any of these other people on this page. so i guess maybe you might be wrong. but seriously. stop doing useless things.

[canadiankopite]

best song to bed a girl to

[clevelandtyler2]

best song when u are drunk!

[angesoie]

paris me manque

[MrsPritchtonO]

This is my favourite song ever !!!!!!!

[ligaboyy]

This song is amazing live <3

[thebackup20]

This song is like the opposite of LeBron James... actually capable of making fans happy.

...Too soon?

[rassiisonia]

we've got to plan our day...rodin and d'orsay?

you know someone's a catch when he/she listens to mtb

[durtmouth111]

The name "Minus the Bear" comes from an in-joke among the band members, referring to the 70's television program, B. J. and the Bear. "A friend of the band had gone on a date,” explains singer-guitarist Jake Snider, "and one of us asked him afterwards how the date went. Our friend said, 'You know that TV show from the '70s B.J. and The Bear? It was like that... minus the bear.'

aand thats why i love this band

[everymeandeveryou]

Seen them last night and man it was fucking amazing , everything i hope for , a dream come true .. <3

[musakme357]

minus the bear makes me wet.

[chuckooo1]

I used to rape robots to this song.

[stefanGDS]

I used this song for the music on my final presentation for Microsoft Offfice 2007 at the University of Toledo and got an A. Thank you Minus The Bear! :)

[sickdawg123]

this sing reminds me of getting sauced up all day everyday last summer. great effin band. lets hope the radio doesnt ruin it for us.

[rwgoble]

I remember talking shit to these guys at their show in houston years ago. They talked shit back. I kept screaming about not enough people dancing, and how this was "college music for college kids." The singer informed me in a very snotty tone that he, in fact, went to college. I was very, very drunk and most of all, it was very, very fun.

[kamuimau]

Aaaw, a girl that was my first true love used to love this song. Great Song

[ryanfoss]

[scoopztb]

[WakeAndBakeBeats]

@joydivisionthecure excellent retort

[joydivisionthecure]

@WakeAndBakeBeats hahahahha thanks its funny to me the little things people bother to bother themselves with....i know u get it

[DrCleetus]

@ryanfoss who the fuck wants to write all of that when its not even necassary?

[nlo13]

where the stars don't mean anything... chills, man.

[krisirie]

mtb reached philippines yo

[sipasabayag]

@krisirie hell yeah! I stand out among my batchmates in school as one of the handful of people who listen to Minus the Bear.

[sipasabayag]

man, their old stuff beats the living crap of their newer material with a stick and kicks the carcass into the ocean. it's so much more musical, plus they still have that quirky Minus the Bear feel to their songs. that's not to say Omni isn't good, but at the very least it's a testament to Minus's ability to change up their style any day of the week and blow you away with the results. every. single. time.

[MikeC26GH]

@sipasabayag

Planet of Ice is definitely their best record put on tape, don't you think?

[sipasabayag]

@MikeC26GH Musically, yes. There's a lot of arrangement going on, and half the time I'm not even aware that it's actually Dave playing (synth-y part in "Burying Luck", which actually turns out to be Dave using an Electro-Harmonix HOG). But I prefer bits and pieces of Highly Refined Pirates and Menos el Oso, myself. Several songs on both albums are fantastic.

[CaliBee6]

TWO STAR HOTEL HOTEL!!!!!!

[joydivisionthecure]

@CaliBee6 where the stars dont mean anything........(beautiful)

[theMuranosBand]

@joydivisionthecure SOO beautiful



[binky69]

@CaliBee6 the second time its MOTEL... not hotel... TWO STAR HOTEL MOTEL

[Pickachu553]

Well, at least they're starting to bud. GH for iPhone includes them, so, Rockband and Guitar Hero might start throwing some songs of theirs into their games. Glad to see Minus the Bear get SOME recognition.

[Anophis]

Love this band. Heard this song a long time ago and had it saved, just found it again while searching through files and fell for the band again. =) I'm surprised not many people have heard of them.

[freetzzzzz]

wich one of you mother fuckers disliked this song.

now 93,815 and climbing quickly

[joydivisionthecure]

@freetzzzzz dickheads that listen to the radio probably is my guess hehe

[hiejosh1]

@joydivisionthecure i listen to the radio?

[ownworstenimy]

@hiejosh1 you must if dont like this song... or maybe your a tasteless douche :)

[turbotoolman]

@joydivisionthecure - yeah, because the world will only be a good place after every single person likes exactly the same thing.

[joydivisionthecure]

@joydivisionthecure ok il correct u...ur the dickhead....feel better?

[Saltyslippers]

my absolute favorite song.

[JamieMadrox195]

this is my favorite song by them

[notyoursavior78]

Absolutely amazing. One of those otherwordly songs.

[Penguinanimal]

Dangerman8008, only thinks this because he gave me a blow job at the last minus the bear show and my dick taste like shit.

Absinthe pong is a difficult game.

[CoryFost]

[StrOcc]

[MrBobo5151]

this is my favorite song by them. my senior quote was "hey lets cross the sea and get some culture."

[krs5147]

[IntenseGamer74]

[colinruud9000]

[monkwithpants]

[foolsgoldsoma]

these guys should tour with modest mouse or something. simply amazing music.

[prime311]

This is a band that sounds better live then on record, and thats no knock on their recorded material.

[hodges4886]

FALL TOUR ANNOUNCED

[Gerberjuice719]

defiantly an under rated band in my opinion

[AkaiRyuu13]

I agree w/ you.

[theguyi26]

@Gerberjuice719 lern to speak engrish

[TheSevenDinosaurs]

@Gerberjuice719 yes defiantly

[alanaraexo]

this band has the ability to really get into your head.. not once have i listened to a song and not been taken back to some beautiful memory

[deesmateen]

rimdog379 you are so very right, they are such an amazing band, just sit back and take it all in

[Tangweizzeful]

Song makes my days enjoyable. Aswell as the rest of their songs and albums.

[NaughtyKitty23]

this song always reminds me of my drive from SLC to provo and back... i don't remember why i drove down there, i was stoned as fuck. but it was a beautiful day in march, the sky was blue and there was a ton of snow on the mountains. driving 95 down the freeway blazed as shit.... just a good time i guess.

[x4everendeavorx]

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of my stay in Venice with my fiance. All we did was eat, drink, and....well, yeah. It rained during the trip so there were no tourists. We ended going to Plaza San Marco at night (when it stopped raining) where it was completely empty. We ended up dancing while intoxicated under the moonlight with colored reflections on the ground from the stain glass windows from above. Somehow I always connect that trip with this song.

[FightingForSanity]

That's a great story to have! Sounds wonderful :)

[Venatrix99]

@x4everendeavorx

cool story bro

[WaterBendingMaster07]

@Venatrix99 indeed it almost made me cry

[indalcecio]

@x4everendeavorx No tourists....except you, right?

[PL4Y3RPL4Y3R]

@x4everendeavorx i was with my girl in miami by one of the canals that lead to the bay and as we layed underneath the stars listening to this song i asked her to marry me.

then i promised her i would give her ALMOST THE EXACT scenerio that you actually got to live out.

i just wanted to tell you that i am SO FUCKING JEALOUS!

[PrimoVids]

@x4everendeavorx Absolutely beautiful. Another thumbs up for you.

[bikero5]

@x4everendeavorx ur fucking retarded

[kaylafreakinrox]

@x4everendeavorx brag much?

[CoryFost]

@x4everendeavorx That sounds amazing :)

[PewpCola]

Look Mexico.

[seanmurray90]

there only 1 word for this song- beautiful

idk if its just me but it has like a open county kinda feel 2 it.ahah like siting on the tallest moutians watchin the sun go down.. thats how i describe this song . it make me want 2 leave the city and live in the beautiful country.

do u guys know any other artist like this.. like my description?

its such a amazing song and band ..i cant find anythig else like these guys besides death cab and the decemberists.. u guys know any one else like them?

[edmayle]

you would probably like stapleton, they have a similar feel to them, and pele, there's also a band called collosal or collosus, im not sure sure who are great.

also ghosts and vodka

x

[Pantera411]

if you like these guys . i can only suggest one band to check out.. This Town Needs Guns...

toutube them .. check out baboon

[dgkskater5757]

they make me want to sit on the beach and do acid and theres no other band that can compare but death cab is as close as it gets

[supercooljones]

I couldn't help but notice you say there is only one word to describe this song and then go on to make a long vague description of it. Not criticizing really it's just funny.

As for music recommendations I would say you you should try post rock. I have said the same general thing about Explosions in the sky before.

[iLikeMusic23]

Circa Survive. they aren't alot alike, but they have like a sound that's just unique and they are amazinfg.

[NaughtyKitty23]

i disagree, MTB brings me up, but Circa Survive always drags me down. don't get me wrong, i love CS, but it has a slower, sadder feel.

[7hrice]

@NaughtyKitty23 Check out Juturna, not slow at all really, or just check out their song 'The most dangerous commercials'

[lithium225]

check out sunny day real estate

[Dude4Less]

this song sounds like hummingbirds eat by Pele

[ereviking]

proly my favorite song by minus the bear

[andriante]

Great song. Cheers Hunter. ;)

[GrantSmith12345]

This song is so awesome it reminds me of my last years in high school. Just hanging out, longboarding, trying to get with girls. God those were the days. Rock on MTB
