Modest Mouse- One Chance (with Lyrics)

[Zimexerz]

Modest mouse is one of the best bands.. like ever.

[earwax8toecheese]

shallow music for shallow people mm for the rest of us . .

[shadowthunder3]

sawt a ekoj

[TheTomado]

I love music. C:

[redstripe19]

joke twas

[Deltoro19]

Have song stuck in my head all day for no reason. Had not listened to it in months. Frustrated that I couldn't remember. Bout to go to bed. Lie down. BOOM REMEMBER SONG. Life is good.

[stevieray345]

i love playin this guitar riff sooo much but sometimes i go into blame it on the tetons O.o it's practically the same riff

[LindcShell]

The Bieber and Gaga comment is ridiculous. WHY IS IT IN THE TOP COMMENTS!? Never defend shitty music and bring it up unnecessarily. Poo poo on you.

[Npowell01]

@LindcShell

*exasperatedly cranks neck around in a circle and sighs*

But, dude.

Aren't you bringing up shitty music unnecessarily by making yet ANOTHER comment that brings attention to the original comment you had personal gripe with for getting attention?

(This is the part where you tell me I'm doing the same thing, I tell you you're merely trying to one-up me, and then we either continue infinitely, or we have an absurd race to be the first to say "arguing is silly.")

[dakotaneo]

an open box in a cage

[ilymetallica1]

why is this song soo amazing :DD

[nkershaw]

i like all types of music. but i really love songs that have a true life perspective on them.

[tay0mason]

My friends, my habits, my family..

[CHUEZZZZZZZY]

love this song

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

i'm justa boxinacage

haha i love when isaac busts that out

[loveandmathematics99]

if i have to hear one more person bicth about justin bieber or lady gaga being famous i might jump out the fucking window. WHO GIVES A FUCK THAT THEYRE FAMOUS. if you dont like them, dont listen to them, and stop being such a cry baby about it. i like bieber and mm depending on my mood, see the world didnt cave in on itself. OH WAIT youre the same hipster douches that abandon ship once they're famous bc theyre not "cool" anymore to you hipster turds. kings of leon anyone? they still rock. suckit

[DuBsTePsMyGaMe]

@loveandmathematics99 bro you can't complain about someone else complaining... that makes you a hypocrite. some peoples kids man...

[loveandmathematics99]

@DuBsTePsMyGaMe i was just sayin, bro.

[LurkerDanny]

I've been listenign to MM since I was 9...

[jackvaughn1]

i enjoy Modest Mouse more when running. love it. feel like i can run forever just listening to them.

[HeroinTree]

I listened to this as I watched crab boats set out from Grays Harbor. Truly awe inspiring. Just a plain ol' dope song from our local brothers. KING COUNTY FOREVER.

[Cantifixonline]

People like Gaga and Bieber shouldn't be knocked .... they have their fans .. and their fans love their music ... thats a GREAT thing.

Not everyone can enjoy the same sound .... Modest Mouse don't have a massive appeal cos some people thinkg that Isaac can't sing and their delivery is messed up ... but thats why i LOVE THEM!!! Different ... off centre but 100% genuine

[MyRobocock]

@Cantifixonline totally agree :)

horns up to modest mouse ;)

[superwiicrazy]

@Cantifixonline why would you mention gaga? shes's actually somewhat talented compared to all the other shit pop artists

[idonttouchkids]

@Cantifixonline Modest Mouse are real musicians. Lady Gaga and Justin aren't musicians. They are products of a company that change to the demographic of supply and demand.I don't hate them but i hate the idea that music should be an item that changes for what people want because then the musicians don't act like play about what they think.

[idonttouchkids]

@Cantifixonline i messed up a bit of what i wanted to say but i hope you got the gist.

[NTVdude]

@Cantifixonline yes, but theres a difference. No matter how anyone feels about Modest Mouse, Gaga and Bieber suck. Their music is paving the way for a crappy generation of music, and it sickens me. But then again, what happens in the world today and how the wrong thing is always supported sickens me anyway. So, I guess I have no point. Im just pointing out that the world's getting worse every day, and Gaga and Bieber arent helping it with their music.

[RealLifeSkate]

love

[TheErikDane]

I wished I could have seen these guys when they came to my city, damn

[trishalimon]

I love the lyrics! Been a fan for the past 6 years and I look forward to hearing more stories:)

[gnrldoodoo]

Awww no likes :) yet...

[MusicUpInYa]

"I am just a box in a cage!"

[NewWaveOldSchool]

I saw them play years ago, by far one of the best shows Ive seen in my life, and Ive been to a TON of shows, when will they be touring again??

[xxxExvxaxnxxx]

Today's music just tells us that every night, you should get stoned, fuck girls and do drugs. Life isn't ALL about partying non-stop and going crazy. Not that having a party isn't fun but sometimes you have to connect with your inner self and you need these songs to do so. I applaud these bands for not letting the invasion of auto-tune to get in their way.

[deathcubek46n2]

i was the 199th like. 0 dislikes. i think my faith in humanity may be on the rise. Where is our 200th thumbs up?

[MrDeepBurn]

@deathcubek46n2 I just became 200 hundred ^.^

[MrDeepBurn]

Am i the only person who sins along?

I MEAN SINGS >.<

[pimpguitar1]

Today this video received 831 views, Way to go MM Listeners. <33

[birum18]

@GlassnWeed nope its showing 71,000 on mine. works fine

[welovewii4]

Man most of the modern songs today are either about partying, dancing, drugs, drinking, love, break ups, or sex. Theres like nothing with a deeper meaning. Its bullshit. Sure some love songs may have some meaning but still. Bukowski has a really deep meaning. I love the shit putta that song

[tre6263]

@GlassnWeed lol. i didnt get it at first

[MrPizzaplan3t]

I think Modest Mouse is so good because there so under the radar, there not being expected to make this amazing album every time, they just do it. Which makes them so magical guys I think they just don't give a damn like bukowski.

[tomperrone420]

isaac brock for pResideNt

fuck it he already rules the world

[WhiteKnight4171988]

I wouldn't be too worried if Modest Mouse doesn't get as much attention as Gaga or that kid. Let them be cash cows. It's ok. We know who Modest Mouse is. A band doesn't need a grammy to be remembered. Stories and albums will be passed on throughout the generations. Everything will be ok.

[haileyyyx33]

@WhiteKnight4171988 And we'll all float on okay ;)

[superdracoid]

I find it funny

Lady Gaga 7 weeks

Justin beiber 7 months and 7 days

Modest Mouse 7 years

See people do understand good music. Its just lady gaga and justin beiber are the "in" music. The music the majority of "followers"listen to becuase everyone else seems to like it. And when a new "in" band or vocalist comes the other one goes just stay the same Modest Mouse and we will stand by you.

[xXxFaLLeNxShaDoWxXx]

@superdracoid i want to have sex with you.

[superdracoid]

@xXxFaLLeNxShaDoWxXx Well you could just like it but ill keep the offer in mind

[Cptheadstomp420]

@thetrueStaub they've been around for 17 years now how much longer do you think they can go?

[pimpguitar1]

@Cptheadstomp420 Till Death I Hope...

[Cptheadstomp420]

@pimpguitar1 if not i plan to kidnap them and make them play for the rest of their lifes in my basement, tickets at 3$ each

[pimpguitar1]

@Cptheadstomp420 Ok.. Season Tickets Discount?

[Cptheadstomp420]

@pimpguitar1 word

[pimpguitar1]

@Cptheadstomp420 So.... Kidnapped em yet?

[jubs52]

0 dislikes. That's fucking awesome

[pimpguitar1]

@jubs52 Fuckin Rights!

[HippieShred]

@jubs52 your the reason some smartass disliked it, thanks

[Npowell01]

@HippieShred

Oh no, the perfect record is tarnished by some smartass. This like/dislike bar looks like a lit cigarette now. WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

[HippieShred]

@Npowell01 twas a joke

[Npowell01]

@HippieShred

twas a joke

[FrigginBigtime]

My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me. I just don't think that it's right.

[SIiptrick]

love the drums in the beggining. sounds like garage band drums. puts me in the zone.

[Vegetapowa]

What's the name of the album?

[IAmNotASquirrel29]

@Vegetapowa Good News For People Who Love Bad News

[illTangent]

theres something about the emotion and the chords in this song that just speak to me. im pretty sure i almost cried once listening to this.

[Mycological]

@illTangent pretty sure when i listend to this, i came

and not as a rat either

[xoxgodofgodsgodxx]

IMO this song would have been better off as a spoken word, keeping the music in the background

[Korndude4561]

there best song they ever wrote in my opinion, i remember when i was like 9, and buying this CD, in 2004, o those days.. long gone :(

[xXxFaLLeNxShaDoWxXx]

@Korndude4561 world at large or parting of the sensory... changed my life

[DramaQueenAllDay36]

like this if their songs bring you to another world<3

[stevieray345]

i like the live version better :D

[AgujaAzulMD]

Box in a cage. There's just something about that line that's so funny to me. It must be some box that it has to be caged up.

[IAmNotASquirrel29]

I'm actually emotionally attached to this song.

[therealdrag0]

I mostly just love the beginning 2 paragraphs.

[alejandroisma]

LA MEJOR BANDA Xp me encanta ese cd me duro solo 1 año xP

[stepcool8]

Modest mouse came to mainstream fame in 2004 and they started their band in 1992. so they'll be celebrating 20 years in 2012. they're going steady for sure!

[Guercinator]

this is one of the only songs where i wish it were 8 minutes long

[calidin500]

the only thing wrong with this song is that it ends

[RinLockhart]

I've known this bad for 5 years and I'm very happy for that.

[cowboy4life1986]

I thnk this is one of the more under rated bands now a days, i mean how can garbage like beiber and gaga get grammys and bands who words make sense like this get ignored, oh well keep doing what you're doing guys and hopefully you guys are around for a while

[wwefantakerkennedy]

@cowboy4life1986 Agreed.

[pimpguitar1]

@wwefantakerkennedy Agreed as well, but for real.. Stop letting beiber into all of the Good Music..

[matt7210]

@cowboy4life1986 how did bieber even get a contract his faget ass cant sing

[anrutoenix1]

@cowboy4life1986 ya fuck bieber! nd you have to notice that 95% of the population in america are stupid! if you live in another country then thats a different story!

[000colourful000]

@anrutoenix1 have you ever actually lived in America? Some of the best minds of our generation are American. You can't believe everything you see and hear. I don't live there and I never have, and I'm smart enough to realise this means I have no right to go about flinging unjustified racist comments like yours.

[anrutoenix1]

@000colourful000 lol ha your funny! freedom of speech asshole! well in that case at least i can talk shit about obama and not get shot to death like whatever country u live in! :P

[000colourful000]

@anrutoenix1 At least i'm literate buddy.

[BottledWaterr]

@anrutoenix1 The weird part is none of that has anything to do with this video. That being said, I'm pretty sure you can, "talk shit," about Obama anywhere and not even get in trouble, save for maybe South Korea where you disappear for knowing about him. Assuming the user does not live in North Korea, he will most likely not be shot to death for, "talking shit," about Obama.

[BottledWaterr]

@anrutoenix1 Oh and by the way the majority of America does not like Justin Bieber or Obama, and We may not have the most intelligible inhabitants, but hey there's good and bad, (Also I'm pretty sure you pulled that statistic and the rest of your broken English comment out of your ass after you shot a bottle rocket up it).

Finally, I congratulate Modest Mouse on this incredible song and hope their fans are not represented by the former!

[dasgemuse]

@cowboy4life1986 i always thought modest mouse was famous. huh. they're on a record label right? their music is played on the radio and TV right? i'm sure their live performances cost $30 per ticket and sell out arena shows. right? i think they're overrated.

[mjss776]

@dasgemuse dude there known but not that known

[Mattystew17]

@cowboy4life1986 ive seen the same comment you just made for almost all of their videos hahaha, i agree lad

[er0k09]

@cowboy4life1986 That is exactly what I was thinking... I mean Beiber... ya... who said he isn't just using Autotune? Anyone can sing wonderfully with Autotune!

[smowlboker]

@cowboy4life1986 this is a fucked up nation man. true beauty is never appreciated

[lilshockley19]

@cowboy4life1986 i agree 1 hundred % man fuck gaga and that lil rich ass bastered beiber

[Cptheadstomp420]

@cowboy4life1986 people would rather fit in than be themselves, its just a simple fear of rejection.

[Ducttaper]

@cowboy4life1986 fuck ya this world is a crazy fucking place that doesnt make sense! thank god modest mouse's lyrics do!!!!

[apviera]

@cowboy4life1986 seconedededed fine agreed



[ghostmachin3]

@cowboy4life1986 As with everything else wrong with the world, "it's all in the politics".

[tylerlcis]

@cowboy4life1986 because entertainment is like a controlled substance. The government uses it to breed ignorant and completely oblivious people. So they won't actually think about anything besides getting shitty and acting promiscuous at the club.

[Oriente7]

@cowboy4life1986 I have no FUCKING clue...it blows my mind to think about it. Its their image and the young people who get trapped in it and never know real music.

[LIGHTSxv]

@cowboy4life1986 lady gaga is in the news all the time for her outrageousness which makes her an instant hit in the public eye while justin bieber is marketed to the young girl crowd. It works.

[trollersgonnatroll94]

@cowboy4life1986 does that mean we're hipsters?

[trista7]

@trollersgonnatroll94  lol..

[okie2339]

@cowboy4life1986 i agree but i kinda like it like that cuz it just shows who the real ppl are out there u know

[hybirdew123]

@cowboy4life1986 i agree so many people just want to listen to people being ignorant so theyre ignorant.

[yazy2210]

@cowboy4life1986 definitely one of the most underrated bands of all time. they're genius. little motel might be one of the greatest songs ever written.

[Demisnumber1fans]

@cowboy4life1986 So, SO true... Although Lady GaGa just stands for something that is very big right now. I think that's why she is more famous.

[HipHipForChe]

a video without a hundred comments about whos gay? is this really youtube?!

[painomind]

@HipHipForChe Ahahahaha!! So true!!

[thirdstorytoker]

This band is amazing. :)

[smokeanridn1]

I love all there music . I listen 2 this song after i broke up with my girl friend awhile back. basicly it shows that i made a big mistake

[Facehead090]

love this song, oh so much

[Flea817]

I love the songs Isaac writes about his fear of death. They all turn out to be my favorites, mostly because I've had the same fear since I was a little kid and started to grasp the concept.

[thineleachbath]

@Flea817 i think its more of him excepting death as a part of life, and singin about it.

[Flea817]

@thineleachbath He says many times "I just don't think that it's right." and he clearly states his fear of death several times on the album and how he wants to live forever.

[thineleachbath]

@Flea817 point made brother or sister!!! modest mouse is comin here in july!!, and im gonna see em!

[thirdstorytoker]

@Flea817 -- I love your post so much. :)

[MrDeadintheend]

this song just cheers me up. modest mouse is an amazing band and has got me out of so much uneeded emotional drama and pain. i love it.

[Putterjew023]

Some of Modest Mouses songs remind me of Third eye blind songs..but about 10 times better.. Seems Modest Mouse is what Third Eye Blind was striving to become back in the 90's.. well at least some of their songs.

[GLaDoSable]

Modest Mouse is a very good band. I love them!

[MATTHEWisBEASTLY]

I've seen so many ships sail in,

just to head back out again and go off sinking.

[ekelsey4]

@MATTHEWisBEASTLY strikes home because my pops is a fisherman...been my favorite line in this song since I first heard it.

[MATTHEWisBEASTLY]

@ekelsey4 yeah, its a great song and a great line

[000colourful000]

love it

[tootsieloo]

barnacles is an ugly cassanova song which is strictly isaac so oyu cant group them b/c modest mouse is a group project as much as isaac's voice shines through in all the songs the differentiation is substantial

[evilfuzz86]

Now this next to barnacles is my Fav MM song!

[greensmileyfaces]

@oldgreeeeeeeeg lol tard
