  • Issac aint dead you dumb cunts

  • What's with all this 'R.I.P. Isaac Brock' shit? Did he actually die or are ignorant douchequaffs just metaphorically saying that his new music is shitty?

  • RIP account user foxhoundunit360 thnks for all your uploads GODDAMN SOPA AND ACCOUNTS BEING BAN ARGGGG

  • Rest in queefs.

  • RIP 2012

  • RIP

    

  • RIP Isaac Brock, your message will live on in these songs.

  • I came for good news. I stayed for the west.

  • I thought NOFAYN was great :(

  • I'm a devout metalhead and I love this.

  • God... I have been feeling like Cowboy Dan lately...

  • @AsphodelsAce Jus' saying... but if they done find something to analyze, it doesn't mean /anything/ is flawed. Subjectivity is that which is existing in the mind; belonging to the thinking subject rather than to the object of thought, meaning that if they're not thinking, then there's nothing to be thought (on their part). Rather inwardly destructive argument for you to make, is all I'm trying to say.

  • Fuck the smart and clever top comments, this is a song and has some straight ass lyrics. All other comments are erelevent. Everytime you think you're walking youre just movin the ground,.. everytime you think your talkin you're just movin you're mouth' evrytime you think youre lookin youre just lookin down.

  • Cowboy Dan doesn't need AA. He needs AA AND anger management.

  • You know we need oxygen to breath , oxygen to breath

  • Isaac Brock is Cowboy Dan

  • 2:07 - 4:03 is a bunch of shit. The rest is great, but I wish they'd have spent more time on the middle before including it in the song.

  • @rmvavrina4 The fuck you talking about? That's the best part of the song!

  • @MEYERS3000 I should rephrase -- The lyrics are a bunch of shit between 2:07 and 4:03. He's trying to create dream-like feel with the lyrics, but they're so goddamn generic that they're boring. 3:23 is really really lame, and he only get's away with it because he's Isaac Brock.

  • @rmvavrina4 your an asshole

  • @TopDownProducitons "It's understanding that makes it possible for people like us to tolerate a person like yourself." ~ Ferris Bueller

  • @rmvavrina4 how can you enjoy the song if you hate an ENTIRE FUCKING SECTION. shut up

  • See, you're neglecting to realize that the lyrics are shit. He didn't even try to make them intelligent, which is something I've come to expect out of Modest Mouse. I legitimately like them, and I think its a shame they didn't try harder on those specific lyrics. They're shit, and they barely touch the subject that's trying to get revealed. If you want to, I suggest you regard music as an art form, and you might understand my point. I'm sure you're smart enough to grasp it.

  • @rmvavrina4 thats not enjoying it. why do you have to critique something that came from the heart. if isaac wanted those lyrics there than obviously he had a purpose.

  • @rmvavrina4 kinda like Bob Marley.

  • "I've got mine but I want more." - Cowboy Dan

  • I learned the main riff on bass guitar, on the highest end of the Guitar so the tone matches his guitar. it's hard to hold that first note, but it sounds cool still.

  • The Moon and Antartica

    The Lonesome Crowded West

    This is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About

  • @Svitlo37 Lonesome Crowded West > Moon and Antarctica. LCW is undoubtedly MM's masterpiece. M&A is still awesome though, and its my 2nd favorite album by them.

  • @MEYERS3000 its pretty even in my opinion. theyre both to great to choose between xD

  • @MEYERS3000 Agree 100% this is my order of MM albums best to least including eps 1. Lonesome Crowded West 2. Moon & Antarctica 3. TIALDFSWNTTA 4. Building Nothing Out of Something 5. Good News 6. Fruit 7. We Were Dead 8. Sad Sappy Sucker 9. No One's First(the only thing that is sub par by Isaac)
  • @yeltrahmas707 I wouldn't call NOFAYN sub-par. Some songs weren't traditional Modest Mouse, but songs like Whale Song and Satelite Skin were some of their best works, even compared to their immortal age-old stuff. And King Rat, goddamn King Rat...

  • i'm trying to write a song but i keep coming back to lonesome crowded west, realizing it's already been done before. and perfectly. modest mouse forever.

  • @unfocusedfears

    Been there done that, man. Everything I write ends up sounding like a Modest Mouse or Ween song. Probably isn't totally a bad thing.

  • Best album of all time.

  • Music trolls suck.

  • I only just saw this song, My name is Daniel and my nickname since high school has been Cowboy... Is this song about me?

  • Comment removed

  • @c0wmartyr

    same here! My friend likes Modest Mouse, so I made her a mixtape with this on it, and now she always calls me Cowboy Dan!

  • I like my cowboys drunk and my mice modest.

  • this song is fun to play on guitar :)

  • He goes to the desert, fires his rifle in the sky

    And says, "God if I have to die you will have to die"

  • I feel bad for those Indians first we steal there land and kill them off in droves then they get a drunken cowboy coming in the middle of the night to harass them can they ever catch a break?!

  • I got mine but I want more.

  • standing in the tall grass, thinkin nothin. you know, we need oxygen to breathe, oxygen to breathe.

  • i would like to have a drink with this cow boy!

  • This song is a perfect example of Modest Mouses work. If you want someone to hear Modest Mouse for the first time, I'd say let em hear this song. I fucking love it!

  • @Sethmyrrh agreed. Whenever i hear people say they don't like them i ask what they have heard, usually its "that Float On song". I tell them to listen to this song and or album. 98% of the time they are won over.

  • @wookieproductions never! they're too good for proper-ness!

  • @wookieproductions I hope one day you will learn that not all music has to sound proper. be gone from this video, music troll

  • @wookieproductions modest mouse got to where they are because of the way they play their instruments, and the way isaac sings. nobody will sound like brock, nobody. and thats why they got big

  • @wookieproductions what the fuck does that mean?

  • This song gives me fucken chills.

  • God disliked this.

  • @theoriginal72 didnt cowboy dan kill god? lol j/k

  • fucking boss

  • people just shut the hell up and listen to this amazing song by the most fucking awesome band ever. Isaac deserves better

  • GOD IF I HAVE TO DIE, YOU WILL HAVE TO DIE

  • Why are people debating religion? This song isn't about religion.

  • everytime you think you're walking you're just moving the ground

    everytime you think you're talking you're just moving your mouth

    everytime you think you're looking you're just looking down

    fuckinghellilovemodestmouse

  • I would love to meet this Cowboy Dan fellow.

  • @gowdy11 

  • @gowdy11 I don't think he'd very much like to meet you...

  • @gowdy11 hello

  • Big Brother would hate Isaac with a passion.

  • @CyberLunchbox did i just here a 1984 reference on a MM video? never thought id hear that. lol

  • You guys have been throught alot with each other now,lets all get along and be friends.

  • where is all this drama comin from? its just a song.. and people's interpretation of it while trippin.. big friggen deal... lol. can we all agree that the song rules? geez..

  • AND I WANT OUT DESPERATELY.

  • you guys are all fucking stupid. why can't you just listen to a song and enjoy, haha. stupid fucking people

  • jesse = cowboy dan :]

  • your all faggots cuz i had to read that whole thing to figure out what you were talking about except guess what? i wasted half the fucking song and still didnt care

  • @hilikus63129 haha well i seem to have bothered you quite a bit. i wonder if PizzahutGm is your other account. I can't see why just any random person reading what i said would be so offended as to lurk on my profile unless it was the same person the comment was directed to in the first place. or maybe you're just a freak.

  • @MelissaMees

    well said

  • thanks :]

  • Anyway, this song rules.

  • that one guys a dick.

  • @PizzahutGm you think you're being soulfully intelligent, but you're not. you sound quite stupid from my perspective.

  • @MelissaMees, from my perspective I think you're a cunt from Copenhagen

  • i took 2 hits of acid. put this song on repeat for about an hour. The middle break that starts at 2:10 or so seemed very dreamy. It fits beautifully with the song as the main character enters an altered state of mind and tries figure out his problems.

  • you're a fucking idiot man lol...no offense, i like tripping out just as much as you do...and i like modest mouse as much too i'm sure...but not everything needs to have a profound meaning when you're tripping balls man.

  • im an idiot cus i explained what this song feels like on a couple hits of acid. Im sorry i guess taking lsd is a real bore and chore for you. Dont spew hate your comment was completely unecessary

  • yeah, that is exactly why you're an idiot. that is exactly why.

  • @PizzahutGm whoa, people just hated all over you.. What a bummer.

  • One cannot create something out of nothing; energy can only come from matter, and matter can only come from energy; and there must be some central point from which everything originated.

    Point one paired with point three contradict point two, whereas point two paired with point three contradict point one, whereas point one paired with point two contradict point three. Physics, at least man's understanding of it, is fundamentally flawed.

  • what if i told u isaac brock is just a puppet i created..

  • I personally think that....

    ...This song's pretty good.

  • Comment removed

  • haha @ the religious debate

  • haha.. one always breaks out, it never fails.

  • coming from a non religious person, you guys are extremly close minded. you claim that god doesnt exist because of science which you unquestionably think of as fact. things that were thought to be true in science are being disproved everyday. the truth is you dont know if there is any more fact behind science then there is behind religion. and your the one on youtube calling other people blind

  • you can go back and test things in science. if that proves to be wrong, it is no longer science. If I prove that the world was not made in 6 days, will you accept that? Will you accept evolution over creation?

  • @Joseph: I don't get people like you. If life is so pointless, if everything is so shitty, why don't you just kill yourself? Complaining about life doesn't make it any better. As long as you're still alive, as long as you have people to love, life is NOT pointless.

  • The notion of "pointless" is very subjective. Some people may question the role of love, and come to the conclusion that, like life, it is "pointless."

    However, I think we can all agree being "pointless" is not the same as being worthless.

  • isaac brock would not approve of these arguements. And would tell you all to stfu

  • @isolationeitheror How the fuck do you know.

  • Sounds awesome starting from 2:05 and on. Epic Modest Mouse sound. Isaac Brock is a fucking GENIUS!!!!!

  • great fucking song thanks uploader

  • I'm not sure, you piece of shit.

  • But on the serious note... cmon everyone stop being ignorant and realize that there is no fucking god. This doesnt mean you shouldn't live your life happily. NOW WAKE THE FUCK UP AND EMBRACE REALITY.

  • That's ironic.

  • you shouldn't be such a bigot

  • you shouldn't be so blind.

  • who the fuck are you to pass judgement on other's religion? your just another loudmouth kid who's afraid he'll be like everyone else just cause he believes in something

  • Just to throw some perspective into the religion discussion, I'd like to remind you that religion isn't a matter of logic or science, but of faith. Truly believing that there is something greater than this. You don't need to speak to it, because you're content just knowing (or believing) it's there.

    Btw, I'm Agnostic. I'm not one of those crazy religious guys.

  • Blind faith thats what religion requires

    There are no facts, no experiments or research

    It requires you to blindly have faith in what you are told or read but has none of the sound foundations of science

  • matter cannot create more matter it can combine to make different looking matter but matter cannot create more matter or make matter go away so how did all of the matter get here it would take a not materialistic being that u couldnt so theres your foundation of science.

  • you can actually create matter from energy. that is what E=mc^2 means. the m is the amount of mass based on the amount of energy and the speed of light.

  • oh so there was just energy.

    that was just... there.

    my bad

  • yup, although some super-string theorists believe there are other universes that might have knocked into ours to kick start things. As opposed to a psychic zombie that gives you immortality by eating his bread and drinking his wine, seems kind of simple ;]

  • Jew zombie!

  • hahaha why did i get a thumbs down for quoting a 300 level college physics course?

  • yeah i see what you're saying, but i also dont give a fuck about what a book says. nothing cannot create something, its that simple. even the other universes would have to have been created at one point, to then "kick start" another universe.

    and btw, im not a christian so that jest was funny but doesnt bother me, as i see the inherent problems with religion at well.

  • Would you say that light outside warms you up? Where is this heat coming from, there are no "particles."

    Pair production isn't theoretical, it has been recorded.

  • cause u wron gbroyyyt

  • because most people are idiots and dont like you youre the best thing to ever hit the interwebz

  • There is the Christian foundation of science

  • This is why God cannot be proven or disproved (faith)... but by common sense people should know there's probably no god. Religion is divisive... controls societies by presenting a hell and fear of being tortured there for eternity so you follow the rules in this first life.

    Well, I believe you get one life. This doesn't mean you shouldn't be civil and have morals.

  • Cant do it not even if sober cant get that engine turned over.

  • God if I will have to die, you will have to die!!!!

  • I always find humor when people say "If you were a real fan" or "real fans," I mean, perhaps you feel a certain way, but I don't believe there is a club somewhere that debates authenticity of fan quality.

    I have artists that I enjoy the work of greatly, but enjoy some of their pieces of art more than other pieces.

    Without the necessity of saying it, this song is great.

    Peace be with you all.

  • I think I know Cowboy Dan...

  • ya the fruit that ate itself was very good ....got love karmas payment

  • cause shade98 u get high everyday and ur so cool but i do agree good song and great album but whichj one isnt great

  • people say wow this is my favorite album if ur a real modest mouse fan u dont have a favorite album just saying thts the way i look at it

  • a real fan.

    a fan is a fan.

    i appreciate all the albums but

    i do prefer one over the rest.

    the same with the smiths.

    same with daniel johnston.

    why are people so into finding ways to tare people down.

    shut up and listen to the music.

  • exactly so why dont u do the same

  • because i am a compulsive hypocrit.

  • Can't do it, not even if sober

    Can't get that engine turned over

  • Well, cowboy dans a major player in the cowboy scene

  • i don't even give a fuck what you are responding to with this post, it is clearly the best thing said in this whole fucking video's comment section, and is the best thing that WILL be posted at all.

  • is this song about george bush lol

  • haha, sadly this album was released in 1997

  • hmmm well clinton was a douche too lol... but definatly one of my favorite american presidents... just cause hes a PLAYERRRRR lol

  • Monica Lewinsy... hot as FUCK!

  • on opposite day, you retard.

  • i was making fun of her, carlos mencia

  • this is called irony, kids.

    1. the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning.

    .....your original joke was about as clever as a typical carlos mencia joke.

  • ENGLISH MAJOR, OH SH-

    everyone knows what irony is, giving the definition doesn't make you look smart

  • dude i love modest mouse!

    every song on the lonesome crowded west cd have amazing meanings

    you just gotta really listen to the words

    it helps if your high :p haha

  • i want to have a drink with cowbot dan ^_^

  • gotta love the lyrics O_O

  • You know we need oxygen to breathe. =DDDDDDD

  • i think this is the song that makes people fall in love with modest mouse...it did for me at least

  • yeah i would agree, but i fell in love with them when they released "The fruit that ate itself" god i love that album

  • This is definitely one of the songs that would make a person fall in love with them. It was close. The first song I had heard by them was their whole Float On radio hit, and I enjoyed it, but the song that made me fall in love with them was probably Trucker's Atlas. Or Edit the Sad Parts.

    But yeah. This song is one of those sorts of songs!

  • third planet is what did it for me...

  • Yeah, I find myself always going to this song first when I put this album on...I musta' listened to this fucking album at least a couple of hundred times on repeat...I read this cool Pontius Pilate biography to this album, it fit really well with the songs...

  • strangely so did a few movie scenes o.O but sadly i cant remember which ones lol

  • Yeah, it just seemed that a lot of the songs referenced Jesus and God, and it was really a cool time in my life...the album made the book like a hundred times more enjoyable than if I had just read the book without the background music...

  • I am atheist, by the way...just thought I'd point that out, in case you gathered from all the jesus talk that I was some sort of bible thumber...If you are religious, no offence meant, sincerely...

  • i am atheist as well, so none taken =P but yeah regardless even though the album referenced god as much as it did it was still a really enjoyable album to listen to.

  • Thing is, and I'm not quite sure on this, I think that Isaac Brock is also Atheist, and if not atheist, at least agnostic...but, hey, I'm Atheist, and I still find the parables of the Bible to be incredible and interesting to say the least...I just don't actually believe in God...

  • i do agree that somethings from the bible are interesting and im pretty sure that Isaac is either of the two, but the thing is when people shove religion down your throat for years and years, saying repent and pretty much scaring you into religion...thats not how it should be, religion is really a man and an entity or even a damn toaster, its what a man wants to believe in, and everyone who wants to say no you have to believe in this is wrong, thats just not how religion was intended to be.

  • Oh, man, you don't have to convince me...I've actually had to take a step back and take a breather, I was despising religion and religious people so much...I still don't have much time for them, my only problem is, I'm falling in love with a super catholic...Now I'm all mixed up...she's very very intelligent, yet still believes in God and all that mess...I never thought someone that intelligent COULD believe that...guess I was wrong...

  • eh sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and tell her straight out, im atheist and your catholic and thats how things are going to be =P

    thats how it is with me right now x.x so thats why religion shouldnt be brought up into conversations lol it just makes things all complicated and gets people offended =/ but then again if you tell her how things are, and that you dont believe in "god" but you still want to be with her, and if she rejects you then obviously she wasnt worth it ya know?

  • I read in a an interview that he doesn't believe in god. so that's cool. it was on the subject of bukowski.

  • o.o can i see the link to that? lol

  • easily believable... most of his "religious" lyrics are just sort of poking holes in it. Esp. Styrofoam boots. The whole idea of baking mana and gas I always thought was a poke at hardcore fundamentalists who think god planted dinosaur bones to test our faith. It had to come from somewhere, so Isaac's saying they bake it in heaven to ship to earth basically. lol. Plus most of Moon&Antarctica seems kinda on the philosophical side favoring logic over religion.
