  • FUCKING ADS YOUTUBE FUCK YOUR MOM!

  • well happy fuckin congratulations

  • Am I the only one who thinks of Beatle-Quality music when he hears Modest Mouse? Just listen for a minute...hear that? No annoying autotune, no stupid techno beat, REAL INSTRUMENTS...God, today's music sucks. It's a good thing guys like Isaac and the gang show us what music is meant to be like...

  • @Bowserboy21 Agreed. There are tons of good bands, thousands actually but all the attention is taken away by commercial jokes like Ke$ha and he who must not be named (we all know who he is though).There are so many people that deserve that success more....

  • @Hypact1v3 VOLDEMORT? 

  • this song makes me feel nostalgia over all the things i wish i could show my loved ones if communication wasn't only limited to the sound of one's voice

  • If God aint either matter nor energy, then, by definition, He literally does NOT exist. So, everything created itself, so God is a synonyme of THE WHOLE universe. Or simply there is not. Either works.

    Result: Modest Mouse, along with Between The Buried and Me, is the best band out there ;P

  • its nourishment this isnt new stuff at all they just put it on an album

  • this songs awesomeness makes me cry sometimes

  • oh damn anyone know if this is off any of their albums or is it just a single?

  • the actual video is awsome!

  • hellz yeah try neutral milk hotel

  • Comment removed

  • although mm's older stuff will always be my favorite and in my opinion their best music, i'm lovin their new stuff too! they fuckin rule, i am just in love with everything they have to offer to my ears, they are so awesome i could go on and on :)

  • Me 2! i listen 2 them all the time!! once i get an ipod thats practically all that'll be on there! I completely agree with u.

  • i have an ipod shuffle, that's pretty much all i've got on it.

  • Comment removed

  • I like their newer stuff better, but they are just one of those bands that has nothing bad to offer at all. You don't get those very much!

  • @itsnourishment you said it right there. Completely agree. God bless you

  • @michael102387 god sucks ass and he hates you ;p

  • My favorite song of theirs right here, love it

  • I heard them play this when they were in Chicago and they were sooo amazing. :)

  • its a fucking flea end of subject.

  • Ohhh druggie is the big know-it-all, huh? remember... just cuz u can see the light don't mean yer' making any, jerk.

    i'll bet you're the one who can't distinguish ANYTHING....

  • whats up with modest mouse and whats up with the cover you obviously have nevr tripped and cant even distigushe your own reallity

  • I've done a lot of drugs and i can say not a single one of them has made me know any more than anyone else.

    I've tripped or whatever on many halucinagins and none of those experiences have anything to do with trying to interpret what the cover means...

  • Whats with modest mouse and spider-moth hibrids??

  • what is the cover supposed to be?

  • a flea with birdlike wings with an eye on, on fire, flying. I don't really know but i think it looks awesome and suits the song if you know what i mean.

  • Oh, yeah? Well I think it looks like a jellyfish, a butterfly and a cat were stuck in a blender.

  • I enjoy all their stuff. from their old, to their new. Its all good to me.

  • @Willro91 it's exactly the same for me. I am sad as hell i couldn't go to see them in Brooklyn on the 23rd :( They are my favorite

  • Thanks to Modest Mouse for always having good stuff, over all the years they keep getting better. Hope you come back to San Diego soon.

  • this song is the kind of music i breathe

  • I thought it was Whatever happens, Fucking congrsatulations

  • no, i was congratulating him for loving the song.

  • you can say what you want your forgiven

    well happy freakin congratulations! hahaaaa i love these guys

  • well happy fuckin congratulations!

  • they just started their journey...glad they are indie!!!!!!!!!.....staying true to themselves and their pace...;)

  • yeah, Epic records... REALLY indie. i suppose the Beatles and the Rolling Stones are indie too

  • dude ur soo behind on the times, really get ur ass out of 1997

  • @dirtbag1713 yeah but that was before it was well tested

  • The album cover is so cool

  • This song is as good as a warm hoody right out of the dryer.

  • ive never heard that one before,but true

  • @BlueChadillac agreed!

  • @BlueChadillac

    chad wardens hoody?

  • @BlueChadillac Feels good man -_-

  • i love how it is a lot different than the other albums

  • you did yourselves yet another cd to add to the whole fucking collection!!!

    8D

    fucking love you guys

  • I am so happy that this is something new, because I was beginning to think I didn't like them anymore.

  • Well happy fuckin' congratulations

  • Ooooo this sounds nice.

  • totally

  • me too

  • Been listening to MM since This Is A Long Road ... and I can say that they have always had a unique style that never ceases to amaze me. I love this band.

  • love this song... just got the ep, its awesome, alot more like their older stuff. but at the same time different and new, i love how they continue to reinvent themselves.

  • i like the background vocals. "had a cuase" its been around in lcw "fell on a landmine, fell on wrong side" its all soo good. this songs really nice.

    "happy fucking congradulations" made me laugh. Power fingers is left over remains of a person after they die. satellite skin is what youve done and do.

  • I Have all there cds and they hav quit a few good songs.Autem beds for starters.Until i get this new cd i cant really argue i've only heard a few.They're just lookin for a new sound and they have managed to do it again.

  • check out ugly casanova, its the singer from modest mouse

  • Been a fan for long years, have you even listen to the other songs? I think not.

  • bout 8 songs, can listen to the rest cause it come out today

  • We were all dead for millions of years then we were born.

    I didn't complain for those millions of years... I don't think I will the second time.

  • I'm happy that they can still make music diferent or not. Life is change and if their music is going to remain sincere it needs to change as they do. We cant live in the past and we especialy cant expect the musicians that inspire us to themselves.

  • Exactly. I can enjoy all of MM's sounds. They've been a band for a very long time and when you consider that Isaac was early 20s when the first CD was released, and he's early 30s now.. you can't expect an artist to stay the same for so long anyway. It wouldn't be very interesting or experimental for themselves, and I think that should definitely be respected. It is their art, and like you said, if it's going to remain sincere, there should be change.

  • Thanks, i hate NEW vs OLD arguements over such an incredible band. lets just sit back, support and enjoy. :)

  • well said

  • Who else is collecting the color 7" singles? Get them at your local independent record stores! I've gotten both Satellite Skin and Autumn Beds, I'm psyched for the remaining two.

  • i only think there'll be 1 more because two of the songs are king rat and i've got it all (most), which have already been released, but you could be right.

  • Oops, you're right! I've read numerous places that there'll be four, but I guess that just shows you can't believe everything you read. I can't wait til the EP is released!

  • I love all of these "old MM fans," saying that Long Drive, or Building Nothing, or LCW is better and that they've 'lost their spark.'

    It's total bullshit. This song is a LOT like their older stuff. Just more refined. Its just failed indie kids trying to get some cred by dissing on the newer releases.

    We should be HAPPY they've made a living out of their music. It means they get to KEEP MAKING IT.

  • tell it like it is, admiral!

  • word.

  • lcw is better and they have lost their spark...this is nothing like the old shit...call me what you want facts are facts...no band makes the same music for 15+ years...change is inevitable and i don't have to like it

  • Seriously if you're gonna complain about the latest few albums and you don't like it, why are you still watching their videos?

  • i looked it up to listen to it since i hadn't heard it yet...thats why

  • this is only one song, some other songs from their new album sounds more like them

  • I second this. I find their new stuff to be okay, but I do feel like they are missing that special something that made them one of my favorite bands. I do like their older stuff better, and I doubt that they will ever make something as amazing as LCW ever again. I'm not just saying all this because I hate every band's new music. It's because I feel this way.

  • here, here. LCW is still the shit.

  • it's true.

  • i think its about how some people try to lead a double standard and how you cant make everyone happy? i dunno

  • I know they have messages and I translate the words to mean something for me and sometimes they do mean something different when I listen to them each time. I was just wondering what the guy meant when he said that this song explained his life.

  • "happy fucking congratulations" wat

  • I'm glad to see Modest mouse just do what they feel like, nothings ever the same... and that's how it should be.

  • listen to blame it on the tetons and trailer trash. pretty similar musically

  • what are you talking about? kingsfield2 is right. every album has a different feeling and it's great to see them grow as musicians.

  • Did you actually listen to the songs or did you just immediately disregard what i said? MM is one of my favorite bands, but they use the same chord progression for these three songs. Personally i dont care bc i really enjoy all three. I was talking specifics not separate albums. SPECIFICALLY those songs... sure, the songs are different in other ways, im just arguing this isn't as different as kingsfield2 thought haha

  • oh no, you are completely right about that. i'm just saying the feel of the songs is different. sorry if i sounded like a dick

  • everything you know is a lie.

  • I love MM and I also love this song but what is Issac.B trying to say in the song?

  • dude what is he saying in any song?

  • Something deep probably, you just have to look into the lyrics just a little bit harder...

  • Dude, every Modest Mouse song has some sort of message in it. I love the fact that it isn't immediately obvious, and that you can listen to every song hundreds of times and come out with some new meaning from the lyrics.

  • the good times are killing me is pretty straight forward... lol.

  • i just love this song so much... if i had a soundtrack to my life this would be on it, as well as 3rd planet.

  • "You can say what you want, you're forgiven!

    Well, happy-fuckin-congratulations!"

    Awesome...

  • the cover of the single reminds me of the cover for the first bravery album

  • i was 101st rating :D lol but great song

  • eh, i dunno. the song starts out promising but never goes anywhere... it's certainly not their best.

  • i came

  • modest mouse needs to get back to their old ways. bring back lonesome!

  • this is one SICK song. i love the new 2 song album thingy!!!

  • It's a single. And I can't stop listening to this song.

  • i just realized its been way to long since i listened to modest mouse, yay for new stuff!

  • Would Modest Mouse hurry up and make a playlist. I wish I could just not stop listening to them.

  • well happy fuckin congradulations modest mouse...surprisin us all with a solid single like this. im impressed...they obviously still got it.

  • They have always had it. The single is pff of the new EP coming out which is just unused songs from Good News and We Were Dead.

  • are they making a full length anytime soon?

  • An EP is due in August.

  • hey look at my videos i need to put some modest mouse on ther but i dont know how too

  • Everyone start masturbating furiously. Because this is Awesome! Go Modest Mouse!

  • too late

  • Nice :)

  • I am so happy that they are still making such awesome music! Woo!

  • sweet finally

  • yeeeaaahhh! modest mouse!!!

  • I love this. I've been waiting impatiently for them to come out with something new. I'm glad it was this.

  • Rusty forks couldn't go through bone... heck, a normal fork would have trouble. You're a bad ghost. You'd just stab people a lot and maybe get them tetanus.

  • Agreed :P

  • I accidentally the whole rusty fork

  • I like to sing along to Modest Mouse while driving in my beater truck. I'm a stone mason and I have to drive from job site to job site, however; I'm the biggest tool in my bucket while I'm driving and bobbing my head singing like a fool. You've all seen me... Yeah I'm that guy.

  • its alright, but i was disappointed in their last cd, and sure as shit ill be dissapointed in this one too. still gonna buy it and listen to it all the time. modest mouse rocks

  • yah, but are you going by videos you've seen in the 90's from youtube?? isaac went to shows wasted and there were alot of people saying they wasted their money seeing him that wasted, even isaac said he doesnt play shows wasted anymore because instead of fans wasting money to see him wasted, they can go out and drink with their friends instead adn have a better time

  • weigh these opinions more like air than lead. opinions are like kittens always givin them away. every winning opinion, i wish i had one. all this talkin all the time and the air fills up, up, up, until there's nothing left to breathe.

  • Just singing random Modest Mouse lyrics? Haha.

  • anyone got any info on the new album?

  • I have to say I like this better than the vagina backs video.

  • lol thats the only weird part...

  • LOL!

  • hahah i had to see the music video to know what u were talking bout!

  • This and Guilty Cocker Spaniels are amazing! From the four songs I've heard from the new EP, it is going to be awesome!!!

  • new music, meeehhhhh....

  • Uh. What?

  • What the hell does this mean?

  • I didn't smile until I read this post.

  • this music is like when your about to fall asleep and you have that calm sort of "nothing really matters" attitude, and even though you could fall asleep you'd rather watch the sun set.

  • Comment removed

  • ummm. don't compare mm to some 2nd rate indie rock band. i hate all you fuckers. maybe silversun pickups has a mm sound. and there is no hint of punk rock in this song. at all. kill yourself.

  • nope

  • I love this.

  • I also like when they performed it live at david letterman. You guys should check that one out too I prefer the live one a bit better but this one is good too

  • Yeah, Modest Mouse always performs better live.

  • I saw Modest Mouse at the Diamond Ball room in OKC and I have to agree, they are way better live. I loved it.

  • Too bad you didn't go to the OKC one where Blame Yourself was played :P Though, at least you've gotten to see them, I haven't.

  • unless they are at red rocks. playing to a bunch of college douchbags. modest mouse was better live in the mid 90's. when they played 30 minute sets wasted. modest mouse deserves their success. but i saw them at an ice skating rink in pittsburgh 6 or 7 years ago and 13 year olds were being dropped off by their parents. fucking cool.

  • Yeah, Modest Mouse was much better in the 90's but their new music isn't bad, much better than all of the other mainstream music out. Wish they'd have more songs like their old stuff though.

  • i saw em at red rocks last year. best show ive ever been to

  • I've watched the letterman performance so many times that it's weird listening to the recorded version haha

  • I know! I was so confussed e_e

    lol

  • where are there references? ..either way, i was sketch on WWDBTSES ..couldn't get into it for a while,its good and all but their earlier stuff has more depth, and sounds better ..but this here is a mighty fuckin good track.

  • Can someone point out the reference to Long Drive?

  • People are just making that up. The closest thing to long drive i can find is the similar chord progression E B A ("talking shit about a pretty sunset": E F# B A)

  • Read the comments... the references we're talking about are song names, like Taktwo2's comment "I don't he can get out of Interstate 8 when Exit Does Not Exist. Who knows, he may make it to Ohio though. "

    At least that's what I think they mean.

    Though I'd love it if they did references to that album in their new songs, haha. Love Novocain Stain..

  • modest mouse music is the most appealing to my ears for over a decade and this song is no exception, however, this channel seems way to corporate. Isaac never returns my private messages.

    ~peace yall

  • Haha, Isaac himself doesn't run it of course..

  • Isaac doesnt even know about it count on that

  • eargasm!

  • Sextastic!

  • omg i love the references to This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About... i will order this vinyl the moment i can! so happy now! im in a state of vertigo like nostalgia now!

  • I didn't see those references!

  • any news of an actual cd soon?

  • The EP? Yeah, it should be released in August.

  • i got this album from my brother

  • I adore this song.

  • As soon as I get the cd, I will place it on my Dashboard and

    Float On down to Florida like a Fly Trapped in a Jar.

    More Mouse More Better

  • ahahaha

  • Hahaha, that was a bit cheesy but it made me smile. So, you'll take your Baby Blue Sedan down the Interstate 8, to a Different City until you're Out of Gas?

  • Haha, needs more This Is A Long Drive For Someone With Nothing To Think About references :P
