Music, especially Modest Mouse's music, isn't meant to have one meaning. We should all take away different ideas from everyone of their songs. Thats why I LOVE how Isaac uses metaphors in nearly every one of his songs.. Honestly, I can't think of a single song, off the top of my head, where he doesn't use metaphor. :P
"get real drunk and ride our bikes" GUYS have you seen the untitled doc from 97 and when the guy is interviewing isaac in the park they talk about that
wants wrong with drugs.... well... weed at least.... why hate on somthing taken straight from nature? i mean, if it helps you relax then whats the problem?
@stfuBUDDY I have never done drugs. You're just making yourself look like an idiot by using that language and stereotyping. Go bang your head against a wall some more.
@radicalwanderer I dont think you understand the meaning of the song. Isaac is not saying that there is not beauty in our materialistic, unnatural world we get ourselves wrapped up in. He is saying that these things that we worry about, like money, do not matter. It is the natural world and the little things that we need to pay attention to, because if we do not pay attention to them life might pass us by.
This is an excellent song and video. I love the videos people make for Modest Mouse songs from old footage of stuff. I made one for Out of Gas using old films of oil wells and derricks, it's not on my channel but you can probably find it just by searching modest mouse, out of gas.
Did he just say "watching M.A.S.H."? I swear: when listening to Modest Mouse, my f-cking absurd life suddenly makes sense! (Ah, everythings' so beautifully preposterous.)
This song immediately puts you in a zone of pure relaxation and realization of the world, I love listening to it just to clear my mind of every day stresses and just think happy thoughts. Its almost like a drug. Also, how can there be 10 people on this planet that dislike this song? They must also hate their mothers and apple pie.
okay i voted twice... 3rd comment i tried to leave .... haha. this a GREAT SONG & VIDEO! : ) for the ppl that don't like this video ... Booooooooooooooooooooo! }: (
discovering this music made me the man i am today; before i was a pop driven, preppy teenager, after wards, I was a music expert...grew me the fuck up...memories/..
I wonder if Isaac purposely meant to say "I never knew nothing so there's nothing to forget" since "I never knew nothing" would mean he's always known something.
i love all their songs, they just have a certain feeling to them thats uniqe and different from allthe other feelings musci gives, ont he rare ocasions modern music has feeling put into it
This song is just so relaxing. It reminds me that you can find beauty in the most smallest, insignificant places in the world. Modest Mouse= Greatness!
When I hear this song it's so beautiful that I cry. It makes me think of the past. My heart hurts. Then it makes me have to go take a tremendous crap.
Wow amazing explosions, the power of atomic blasts are wondrous and scary at the same time. I can't believed it obliterated that house like dust.
The power generated from several pounds of atoms..... Can you imagine the power that would be released if all the atoms in the world suddenly combusted like that??
there is beauty in everything around us, even the deaths of millions has an orchastrated and morbid beauty. Bach and Beethtoven played with the instruments of genocide is still a beautiful peice of in a chaotic melody in a morbid sense that hits our very nature with the evidence that we are something else, something more violent that proclaims itself better while exterminating itself.
This reminds me of a missions trip i took to el salvador. everywhere we looked was stricken with poverty and every street we saw was littered with trash, but it was still one of the most beautiful experiences i've had.
the video is just there as his or her interpretation. I think it's about how you can find beauty in the simple things, not having money doesn't mean you can't have fun. The rich can have all they wantl, but they will always want more.
