styrofoam boots

[gobacktosleep678]

Good stuff

[CurleysPizzeria]

This is great for ohh so many reasons.

1) Modest Mouse is one of my all time favorite bands when im depressed aka always.

2) this sounds so much happier then the original... it makes my insides kinda warm, that or the whiskey?

3) Ive been hand drawing a music video for the song

4) your name is wwwwwwwwwwwalter and walter is a character in the cartoon of the story of my life...

[modestmouse015]

your too beautiful!!! u touched my heart today.. maybe we could get to know eachother :)

[tomjayrodnoble]

wow there are some kreppers on here lol good jerb!

[paintballmoreyo]

Wanna smoke some pot and beat up a hobo with me sometime?

[atonedsparrow]

You are so fuckin good! where can i get an mp3

[ikilledcomedy]

Wanna get some ice cream sometime?

[wwwwwalter]

@ikilledcomedy that'd be cool.

[coinbird1]

I really fucking liked it!

[wwwwwalter]

@coinbird1 mucho gacias!

[getlipped]

cute kitten, and nice job on the lyrics.

[mikematij2]

i disliked this before you even started playing and then cut it off like 20 seconds after you started.... i wish i could hit the dislike button twice but i cant

[wwwwwalter]

@mikematij2 no reason for nastiness.

[Thegreen007]

You are such a boner factory

[wwwwwalter]

@Thegreen007 boner feast.

[syst3mofad0wnn]

Lol the cat XD Relaxing cover

[8bitvelociraptor]

This gave me chills with it's awesomeness. xD

Great job! :D

[wwwwwalter]

@8bitvelociraptor thank you!

[nobreath181818]

pretty good

[bowzerscastle]

whats that instrument called?

[wwwwwalter]

it's an autoharp.

[suppage99]

You have short hair.

You like modest mouse.

You have a cat.

I love you.

[puma721]

you have such a calm sweet voice.

kudos.

[secretsocietyof]

this made me happy

[RyanMurphy]

You're a great singer, nice job

[omanderso]

When you play it on the autoharp like that it almost sounds like an arcade fire tune.

btw needs more screaming

[keauxgeigh]

"He said looking at something else but directing everything at me

Anytime anyone gets on their knees and prays it makes my telephone ring

Well, I'll be damned"

Haha, I love this song (love that album). Really good job!

[wwwwwalter]

haha me too. thanks :)

[mcnaial]

that was awesome.

really - there are so many covers of mm's songs and they aren't great. people try to mimick issac brock's voice and don't do too well.

you haven't tried to mimick his voice and it's made the song much more softer, while still retaining the meaning of it.

thank you again!

is it possible you could send me the audio / visual of this clip?

it really is amazing.

[wwwwwalter]

thank you! i tried to make a tribute, and less of a cover. i appreciate that.

if you give me your email, i could send you a slightly different version.

[mcnaial]

yeah sure that would be great. :)

i'll e-mail you my address.

[JimmyBshaw]

you have a differant version to this?

i would like to hear it.

mind if i give you my Email through a message, rather than a reply?

[BMXorHOMICIDE]

i love this cover..just cuz your like a cute chick doing a song thats totally making fun of religiosity its great!!!..you should put this vid in a video editor cuz the sounds a little deluted in my speakers which makes it hard to hear your lyrics which came out better thn isaac ..you cant really understand him..but yeah great job <33

[coheedark]

i usually hate covers but this is amazing

[wwwwwalter]

thank you!

[wwwwwalter]

give me your email, i'll send it to you.

[bassfreak18]

This cover is amazing. You have such a beautiful voice! I listened to this like four times in a row. can't get enough of it. Keep up the good work ;-)

[wwjoeyd]

is that a type of harp?

haha "wad up"

[jonesdanko3]

great cover!

[wwwwwalter]

thank you!

[WhoaParrot]

Your happiness with this song is contagious, and I love how somehow turned a cynical song into a lullaby. And I love how your cat came rambling through too.

I know it's not meant to be some work of artistic genius, and it's effortless to enjoy it for what it is: sweet. Thank you for this.

[wwwwwalter]

that was an incredibly flattering comment, thank you.

[sporff]

one of my favorite songs ever and I approve of your cover. I likey.

[wwwwwalter]

thank you very much!

[milkmit]

kitty!

(oh yeah, and good original cover)

[wwwwwalter]

lol thanks

[HadesWTF]

Oh my god. A beautiful girl playing my favorite song of all time (and good at that).

My mind has been blown. I think I'm in love.

[kurt2552]

i think almost all modest mouse covers where the people sing suck. this one too.

[skylineturnstile]

sing it better then i can.

[WeezerFan666]

If there was a way to get a higher quality MP3 of this ... well, let's just say it would make my week.

Love it to bits, has the depth of the original but sounds playful instead of angry.

[wwwwwalter]

so i just met a producer that would like to work with me and as soon as i get a proper recording, i'll send you a link.

i'm glad you enjoy.

[WeezerFan666]

HAPPY DAYS!

Look forward to hearing that, and any other covers/originals you hsave to offer.

Also, I must now blame you for making me want an autoharp. I just do not have enough disposable income to get all these crazy instuments.

[wensingaw29]

Sometimes I listen to this vid when I'm super hung over. Super nonabrasive. Not a  bad thing to get the day started to. Your voice is the perfect accompaniment to the harp.

[wwwwwalter]

you just made my day! thank you.

[jesta182]

That was mind-blowingly beautiful.

[wwwwwalter]

wow. thank you very much.

[joannajean]

this is so cute. beautiful voice and fresh take on this song.

[wwwwwalter]

thank you very much :)

[iamthepassanger]

I like the cat creepin in the background.

Other than that, I think this cover was absolutely wonderful :)

[wwwwwalter]

i appreciate that, thank you.

[therussfactor]

I like this, though, I don't think the pre-music speech was necessary. 5 stars

[ctrainabc]

this is a rad cover

[meowmixqueen]

uhm wow. speechless. best cover ive seen in a while

[LandProductions22]

something about this song being played on a harp fits, I don't know why. Let's party, bring your harp!

[freakshowv]

your smile is infectious.lol Nice cover.ITS ALL NICE ON ICE ALLRIGHT

[Konner]

Sounds interesting on the autoharp, good video

[zachsis]

will you marry me

[revolutionary47]

The cat should have had a bigger role.

[970550182]

Dang. That was nice. Made me happy. Cheers.

[SaintDemure]

Wow this is quite stellar! Good song choice ;)

[jakeythekakey]

you have a pretty voice

[Vatokk]

I love absolutly everything about this, please keep it up. :)

[blakbobspacepirate13]

[jasonraaen]

[Hinge57]

i'm not sure if it is bad or not, but you make this song sound very hippy like.

[karlgetsalong]

well i'll be damned...you're talented.

[James1803]

You have a beautiful voice.

[Whothehellgivesacrap]

[mattteebee]

[trceb]

and listens to the modest dizzle

amazing

[toolhedtim]

absolutely great! Loved every minute of it! Keep it up

[doraller]

i thought this would be bad but it was awesome!!!! if you like the mouse i made a music video of sorts (using the original track) to Fire It Up. Modest Mouse owns!

[VinceVeilleux]

I was thinking about getting an autoharp...should probably just work on guitar more tho. Real good cover though.

[ModestMousekateer]

holy shit that was amazing! Exquisite! You have a beautiful voice, and you can play the HARP!! that's supposedly one of the hardest instruments to play. That sounded incredible. and you made me happy, you made me smile, for the first time in a long time. So thanks, and keep doing your thing (please :) )

[mgilb19]

rofl its not a harp, cant remember what its called though... have one in the attic ¬¬... looks like a harp though. love this song... wish MM made a video of it... would work so well with the lyrics.

[ModestMousekateer]

autoharp* (supposedly). my bad.

[ephixius]

I expected a massacre when I saw the harp, pleseant surprise.

[sumkindamonstr92]

wow, i was just looking around for guitar covers, but now that i heard this i became completely distracted. excellent job, really amazing.

[blu3shock]

WOW what a wonderfull version of this already awesome song. Your version was very impressive. keep up the good work.=]

[Bunnylavoie]

wow.

you are really amazing

your voice is beautiful :]

[godisghey]

So, I was expecting to hate this but it was actually wonderful. Quite refreshing take on my favorite MM song.

[wwwwwalter]

i'm glad to have impressed you.

[interpoltotbl]

excellent...from the choice of instrument to the vocals...all good..by the way your hot...

[TheMouseIsModest]

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

[rustycumbone]

This is really good.

[rgldr1190]

This ruled, your instrument choice was great, and your voice matches the song perfectly. God takes care of himself, you of you. One of my favorite MM songs. Keep it up! Good work.

[stonedacoustic]

yee haw, that was great

[fusionofmetal]

Came back to see/hear this again. Liked it just as much as the first time.

[Bluethunder1]

Beautiful. You improvised where you knew you couldn't pretend to be Issac. Great!

[headcase225]

that was fantastic... i'd like to hear more. Bankrupt on Selling mayhaps?

[dcfkaf]

Most modest mouse covers I see on Utube are really shitty. This one wasn't too bad. What is that instrument you are playing?

[wwwwwalter]

an autoharp

[SkipDivided]

That sounded awesome, i loved it!

[wwwwwalter]

thank you

[NickSerpa]

awesome.

[fusionofmetal]

Perfect.

[wwwwwalter]

ohh you're too kind, my dear.

[fusionofmetal]

Oh, not at all. I'm nit-picky and wasn't expecting to like it one-tenth as much as I did.  And your instrument choice, also perfect. Who woulda thunk it?

[SRChrono]

do teeth like god's shoe shine!! dooo it!! put a whammy bar on that thing, put the cat on bass, and i'll beat box improv. epic?

[wwwwwalter]

hahaha nice.

[bizzzay]

[SaunterCast]

Yeah, I am pretty sure you are my favourite person in the world now.

[hamhampopo]

As one of my personal favorite songs to play, I think you did quite a nice, original job. I like it a lot. I can make Styrofoam Boots song last for 20 minutes, it's all nice on ice, alright :)

[josephmalekzadeh]

Very Well Done. not a lot of people know this song, few of which appreciate how awesome it is. You certainly did it justice. Your head is screwed on right. God Bless.

[drwningupsdedwn]

what instrument is that?

[wwwwwalter]

it is an autoharp.

[soniclightningbolt]

oh my god, that was the hottest thing i've ever seen.

[wwwwwalter]

whoa! thanks, man.

[Kelci15]

I really really like this. A good cover defanitly I love this song also so thats another reason i love it!

[alfredshotterthanyou]

wow...i can honestly say this is the first modest mouse cover i actually like...alot! very awesome, and in case you havent heard, a copy of 'we were dead before the ship even sank' was leaked onto teh interwebs not too long ago =D

[wwwwwalter]

oh awesome, thank you!

i'll have to check that out. thanks for the heads up.

[endlessjoe]

Well, that was a damn fine rendition right there. Damn fine. I feel no shame in saying, in this very public of forums, that I swooned.

[wwwwwalter]

swooned! i'm glad you liked it.

[TheMorphineTango]

dude, i miss you and your autoharp.

[never3st]

that was really well done..

[wwwwwalter]

thank you.

[sadisticmonkey]
