Modest Mouse-Little Motel

[hankstrixie]

this is badass!



[YummyCupcake66]

@opitfay she didn't it was in rewind (perhaps to leave you guessing why a young woman was in a motel with her child in the late hours of night?) and she took him out

[GreenfireAppleseed]

This song and video are so sad.. I used to listen to this when my ex broke up with me and I'd literally be on the floor crying at the end of the song. Modest Mouse completely blows my fucking mind. I love you Modest Mouse...

[sallyilylura12]

Rest in peace dad.

[KenLopezYokohama]

OH GOD THIS VIDEO JUST MADE MODEST MOUSE THE BEST BAND IN THE WORLD

[bilbob1997]

@Staffordsara11 I guess not. There very encryptive..

[wakeboardhero12]

she tried to make death as beautiful as she could. and thats....well... beautiful...

[daisygirl1217]

ouch....

[Staffordsara11]

that is so sad I cried when i saw this music video

[bilbob1997]

I'm guessing this is about teenage pregnancy.. Never thought about the song like that before..

[Staffordsara11]

@bilbob1997 does it look like shes a teenager

[IVIathemagician]

@bilbob1997 WHAT!!?!!?

[IVIathemagician]

this song makes me cry hard. i fucking love you modest mouse.

[JamesastanWAW]

life is so depressing

[imawesome4422]

this song always makes me cry

[AdamS1564]

I teared up a bit at the end

[iBrutalWaffle]

We are all waiting for death. Sad, I know.

[LloveLlamaLlauren]

@iBrutalWaffle My friend always tells me life is just a distraction to keep you from thinking about death. I think that's depressing lolololol.

[iBrutalWaffle]

@LloveLlamaLlauren It is but thats life.

[FriendlyFour20]

i love you mom....

[IVIathemagician]

@FriendlyFour20 dude i was driving back up to college today with my mom and was listening to this. she needs to have tumors removed from behind her eye because they might have leaked cancer into her brain. they need to take her eye out to do it, meaning she might lose her vision. i kept acting like i was yawning to wipe away the tears from my eyes.

[wakeboardhero12]

@IVIathemagician im sorry bro. hope she makes it alright.

[IVIathemagician]

@wakeboardhero12 thanks

[EasilyHax]

@IVIathemagician I hope your mother makes it through the procedure well and that the cancer hasn't metastasized to other parts of the body. When I learned that my little brother's brain tumor was malignent I was shocked at first and didn't react... I can say that about five minutes later though, I broke down. My venture through cancer ended with loss, I will hope and pray your experience ends much better.

[IVIathemagician]

@EasilyHax thanks a lot man. sorry about your brother. i always wanted a brother. cant imagine the pain of losing one. stay strong

[JEROME17770]

magnifique chanson ...

[vBEoN]

Soo... Why is everybody crying? Lol, I don't get it.

[jaykgrey]

That's what I'm waiting for...

[Grayhawk1337]

Oh my god... The things I said at the begining were instantly regretted at the end...

[HornedWarMachine]

The point of the video is that the mother didn't want her kid to stay in/die in that state in the hospital. Knowing the kid would die either way she took him outside one more time and let him die in a cozy bed instead of a grimy hospital. Fuckin a people.

[lukapaka]

So freaking sad ;'(

[AstralSilent]

You know why i respect Isac... he knows who he is and who the fuck he's going to be and i respect the fuck out of him.

[qiqimaster]

@AstralSilent You must not listen to that much MM because Issac has written multiple songs about not knowing who he is or who he wants to be.

[AstralSilent]

@qiqimaster Listen to modest mouse all the time haha and yea thats what i meant

[opitfay]

i dont get it.. :/ why did she take her kid back?

[DURTAe]

Its easy to take life for granted and forget to cherish every day.

[nge1301]

So, the mother steals her kid from the hospital?

[fluffstyle]

I don't think people should comment unless they have a kid.

[catboy9653]

could some one tell me what happens in the video i really dont under stand it

[RockyMTNgraff]

@catboy9653 Your not supposed to understand Modest Mouse. Thats the beauty of them.

[jphallig]

@catboy9653 well pretty much the kid is on life support and the mother (if she is the mother) doesnt feel happy with it anymore so she ends up taking the kid (which i think killed him/her?) and she fled from the hospital, she goes to a restaurant to probably order the childs favorite meal, and then went to a parking garage where she thought about what to do next and she ends up going to the motel and watches the child.

[SpookMouse]

There should be a drinking game to this. The last person that cries has to take 10 shots. Haha. Just kidding. Really beautiful video. Could make the burliest biker cry.

[Legion7991]

@SpookMouse Would never work as everyone would burst into tears at the same time. Thus, either everyone takes ten or no one takes ten.

[SpookMouse]

@Legion7991 Haha. This is true.

[powertokanon]

fck anyone who dislikes this video or song.

[unloved5600]

Welcome to humanity....

[skyeandkerry]

Wow.

[WilliamValentino]

Btw this was Beth not William

[WilliamValentino]

Sad video its all I think about when the song comes on my ipod

[MarilynDiPasquale]

speech fucking less , u have done it again modest mous u have blown my mind!

[eyeH8uTUBE1]

This song can and will bring me to tears. Every time.

God damn the great band of Modest Mouse.

[zombiwmuthafkr]

that part when the mom and son were running and playing made me drop tears down face,i miss those times. 

[maddielovestoshop]

wow, this video..

[EmilyEerie]

awwww

[fl0b0ts]

From tripping to dramamine to listening to the world at large with friends i love to zoning out with float on to crying to bukowski... i love modest mouse.

[jesushatesme666]

Who steals their dead son from the hospital? lol

[BVisionProductions]

THIS VIDEO IS TOO FUCKING SAD WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH MODEST MOUSE

[63nbell]

@BVisionProductions Modest Mouse didn't make this video. Just saying.

[63nbell]

@BVisionProductions They adopted it from a fan.

[63nbell]

@BVisionProductions Or that's what I heard, sorry if I'm wrong. I'm not trying to be a know-it-all.

[Kartdriver29]

she shouldn't have a kid that young in the front seat

[BrendonStoopid]

@Kartdriver29 He's already dead. It no longer matters if he's in the front seat or not.

[irishpanda2000]

those smiley faced pancakes felt so sad...

[Thelizzardandtheroze]

I just close my eyes and the music sinks in...

[theFloatingShip]

No music video has ever made me cry like this one has. It's so beautiful and yet very depressing. Modest Mouse has done a beautiful job, and so has the crew who put this together.

[magemage621]

@MrAustin1813 haha yes. And aww:(

[300cygnus]

114 people dnt have moms

[insomniac838]

great song and depressingly amazing video to go along... i love modest mouse

[prumpa42]

wow this video is depressing

[cesarol911]

Dang... and I thought Anberlin's Paperthin Hymn was depressing...

[MexicanNigga610]

Man this song made me cry :'(

[Mrcooper1318]

That's such a sad video

[MrAustin1813]

Great now im depressed. Well its off to listen to some wierd al.

[meatkingsparty]

vocals sound like Pete Yorn?

/watch?v=LlQe4gEZbCY

[777mackey777]

she should be ashamed of herself for letting that kid ride in the front seat like that..

[mxcrulezman]

In all honesty, this song makes me cry, im suprised Modest Mouse could do that. one of my favorite bands, never ceasing to catch me in new ways

[JtheMexican821]

idk whats more painfull, a mother loosing her child or a child loosing his mom,,, this song just reminds me of my mom ='( but its just a kool song

[Allymunky1985]

@JtheMexican821 All children eventually lose their parents eventually according to the way life is "suposed to be" A parent should never out-live their child. You lose a piece of you when your child dies, when you lose a parent you were already born whole, never giving a piece of you to new life. But really, it's all about the impact on the individual and how they guage pain and loss. It's not for you or I to judge, not even a psychiatrist can tell you how to grieve or hurt.

[JtheMexican821]

@Allymunky1985 true but it would have been nice to still have her just a lil bit longer. She die when I was 15. For some reason its the guitar part that really makes me think about her idk why.

[Funnyvidsx]

113 people dont have a soul!

[polokt]

How the fuck could you dislike this?

[MrTwitchtheklown]

Absolutly Amazing second best song next to missed the boat...

[itsmilesdavis]

Not their best effort/song. However, Modest Mouse is nasty--long careers, great music and utter domination of my brain.

So many great songs. Control and awareness of ridiculous consciousness and subconsciousness!

[Kingshmoo]

:O

[GimmeAllYourMoney925]

Goddamn it Modest Mouse. You really know how to yank the tears out

[gtrob1]

Powerful sad

[sKullzoo9]

that's sad...but creepy

[oddlysplendidaudrey]

I think this song actually hurts me when I listen to this.

[Dymamyd]

3:18 Smoking seems so more unhealthy when you wind it back.

[juicyfruit1139]

i cry every time i see or hear this

[hornsr1]

He didn't actually die. When you play it backwards she takes the sensors off of him, then it shows no heartbeat. She just wanted to spend time with him. Still pretty deep stuff.

[joeseatat]

Oh my gosh. How sad! He died and she just couldn't take it and wanted some time with him again. I think I might be crying!

[MOUNTthenFOX]

2:41 - 3:38 makes me feel something I can't quite explain.

[AER1994]

my girlfriend of 2 years left me for another guy.. we were so happy together and ive never loved anyone more, how could she do this to me..

[Glosoli4]

Could the beginning be any more perfect?

[cristiancortesz]

Eres genial Modest mouse, muchos aquí en México sabemos apreciar tu música =)

[THEalfalfa1]

looked at this because it was in my recommendations..... great song

[718mattmatt]

i love this song

[JenniferPHendrix]

All love ends in sadness...

[THEalfalfa1]

@JenniferPHendrix nahh. youre not done yet.

[wildboy789789]

@JenniferPHendrix not true... sometimes you fall in love, then die, in which case your never really sad... quit being so negative... just say "oh well, im just an evolved monkey and ill find another filthy human animal around somewhere to love me"... maybe aliens will come down and love us all as pets MWAHAHAHAhahahahahah

[mimosagnosis]

@wildboy789789 damn, neva thought of that.

[cyberescapee]

Wtf? No seat belt?



[Joshster991]

@cyberescapee yea no seat belt because she has nothing to live for

[cyberescapee]

@Joshster991 What 'bout the kid? That's what I was talking about.

[tehpoornub]

@cyberescapee the kid was dead, this whole things in reverse

[HomicidalAlleyKat6]

If life was that simple, then no one would care to believe In God. He is real. yes all that happens, But what about all the good that happens..

GREAT SONG

[THEalfalfa1]

@HomicidalAlleyKat6 smart one you are

[DecoyCruz]

I just don't get why life is so cruel. I believe in God, but sometimes idk why i do... i mean god performs miracles right? Well why do children die everyday from disease and why is there even such thing as disease, and men that rape women.. there's just so much hate idk how there can be a God... but yet I still think hope and believe there is a God..you know? :-/

[Racin382]

@DecoyCruz its to test us to see who we turn to in a time of need god or the devil?

[wildboy789789]

@Racin382 hail satan

[Nudedude555]

@wildboy789789 HAAAAAAIIIIIL SATAN!!! my dark lord and master

[Racin382]

@wildboy789789 have fun with that

[wildboy789789]

@Racin382 lets have gay sex

[Racin382]

@wildboy789789 are you talkin to me or the devil?

[MrKaleb777]

@DecoyCruz death of all kinds is a part of life.

[Smackin11ify]

this is awful why would anyone enjoy this song

[TaTuSpartan]

@Smackin11ify We have good taste.

[horseluck3344]

@Smackin11ify becuase were  awsome unlike u

[Zcasey1932]

Heavy Shit Man

[batdabyard]

was anyone creeped out that she took her dead kid to a diner

[yourmom6988]

this song is intense.

[RyanO1227]

This is eerily depressing me and cheering me up at the same time, I'm listening to this while I am videochatting with the perfect girl. I met her at a concert far away from where I live, and we are completely perfect for eachother, and I don't know if I should tell her how I really feel, because than we'll just have the pain of knowing we're so far away that we can't see eachother more than once in a long while, maybe I should just enjoy what we have right now, but than again, she mayfeelthesame

[VIPonSWOL]

@RyanO1227 If that's true, you should tell her. You'll regret it forever if you don't and it becomes too late.

[iameverundieing]

@VIPonSWOL welcome to my life

[eyeproceed]

@RyanO1227 Dude, from my experience, I met a girl a really long time ago and just now we started talking again over the internet. She lives 3 hours away, and i'm moving in 10 days to 4 hrs away from her. I told her how I really fealt and she didn't give two shits about the distance. It's just a damn map, you want to see the love of your life? FUCKING FOLD IT. Distance has nothing to do with how close two people can be, NOTHING. do it to it. seriously, you wont regret it.

[RyanO1227]

@eyeproceed I told her...we're dating, she's going to move closer to me, hopefully going to be living together soon. thank you so much.

[eyeproceed]

@RyanO1227 no problem man, sometimes you just gotta do things your brain tells you not too, because its the right thing to do.

[ElBooGieBabii]

@eyeproceed Your comment is amazing ♥

Distance shouldn't be a reason to not love someone ...

[MrHincheriffic]

maybe if i didnt have a young son i wouldnt ball every time.

[beanerboa]

gas is 3.90 now

[onyachamp]

@beanerboa $5.10 (usd) for a gallon in oz.i took into account that we pay by the litre here and the dollar exchange rate. it's worse in britain

[onyachamp]

@onyachamp woops i forgot to mention the government taxes the living shit out of petrol. around 50cents out of the $1.40 ausd a litre we pay goes to the taxman. unjustly we pay 10% gst which means we get slugged a tax upon a tax. cheers howard

[FreadohCool]

This video is so cute it made me cry :) I dont ever cry its so sweet it scared me when it all flashes up the the emergency room again and the kids all getting put in the hospital bed dying.

[ZerotheShadowDragon]

The 111 people who disliked this video have no souls.

[katayani108]

I dont know what was going on but I'm crying.

[TheWOLFLORE]

She couldn't accept him dead :(

I love you mom... 

[Kazenokakera]

Ever watched the Elephant Man? I think everyone wants to sleep lying down.

[TheVirtualBox]

My grandmother died a little more than a week ago. Recently, I learned that, once she died, my mother had tried to do the same thing with her body as the mother in this video. She didn't want her to die in some hospital. The nurses stopped her before she could leave the room, however. She stayed there for hours. Alone. She didn't want her to die. She didn't want to let go. No one does.

[nemoisafishyx]

you know that one band that no matter what you do, you can't listen to them without thinking of someone? Yeah, that's what Modest Mouse does to me. It's not a bad thing, but it's just there.

[Isometimeseatsalt]

she is good at driving in reverse although i must say thats pretty dangerous to do when there is a kid in the car.

[catsaretheshit]

This song reminds me to much of you.

[DiazA91]

The little boy never actually died. She just wanted to be with her son and not in some hospital. One of the saddest music videos i've watched.

[securedbymac]

I've listened to this song at least 50 times and I've never watched the video until just now... It's so friggin' sad.

[OilofPuppies969]

@OilofPuppies969This is the first time I realized that musicians don't play songs about themselves and their own personally crafted tunes.

[TheBeatnikPsyD]

Psh, this song is waaaaay too emo. SUCKS! right of the bat people listen to this faggoty song and they start BAWWWing like some emofag. i condemn this song to eternal damnation. I HAVE SPOKEN!! GET OVER YOURSELFS!

[Ailensinvadethe970]

@TheBeatnikPsyD your a stupid fuck, go listen to hannah montana !!!!!!!!!!! your a disgrace to modest mouse and to this page so dont comment if you dont like it,, duh! haha. loser.

[baseballjwd]

@TheBeatnikPsyD First off learn to spell. Secondly i'm pretty sure that it is pretty god damn sad when a mother watches her child die before her eyes so why don't you get over yourself and not watch the video rather then say terrible things about it.

[DeNi3Lv2]

@TheBeatnikPsyD - y u mad tho?

[TheBeatnikPsyD]

@TheBeatnikPsyD I have to tell the truth now

I love Modest Mouse, this song, and the people who listen.

The reason why i said what i said was to be an Antagonist on

purpose so that people who really love the song abd band would find

themselfs defending it with pride and feel good about it as well.

My words, my gifts, a contribution to my friends. May we all float on okay.

[mikeandersonwa]

this is such a fucking beautiful song... and the video is incredible too... best Mouse song ever.

[101LakesNetwork]

My husband watched our son battle a fatal disease for over 2 months and each day we were told would be his last… During this time we so wished for the days when he played, and laughed and cuddled, and to see a shell of his former self was quite disturbing to say the least. I totally get this Mother, taking him to his favorite restaurant, and tucking him into bed… just SOME normalcy in a life that is off its axis because of grief. Loved the song and cry EVERY time I see/hear it!

[ItmsI]

@101LakesNetwork CRY MORE.

[Killinemdead1]

@101LakesNetwork that's irrelevant

[RAISINSEVERYWHERE]

every. damn. time.

[TheDethdeth]

CASEY ANTHONY

[PKTrekGirl]

This video is so sad....

[CookerSlurpy]

maybe she just want to say goodnight to him for one last time, not a goodbye

[birum18]

saddest video ever.

[cynoodles]

This video kind of reminded me of coldplays the scientist

[adrymg1]

yo amo modest mouse me gusta desde hace mucho tiempo pero jamas había visto los vídeos gracias por publicarlos :D me haces feliz

[cherrycatnip750]

man, and I thought he was just a heavy sleeper...

[ThePowerWithinn]

This is the saddest thing I have ever seen... :C

[EmilyAnnIsToxic]

I've fallen asleep and or listened to this song right before I fell asleep almost every night for about a year to two years. Thing is, it never gets old and some how manages to put so much peace into me. <3

[Hopersz]

entirely different than the quarreling couple from the lyrics. Yay Modest Mouse!

[Hopersz]

Modest Mouse always impresses me, but this video in particular has been my favorite by them for years. It astounds me how well it goes with the lyrics. The whole point of the lyrics is that the one thing we're waiting for in life is for somebody to miss us when we're gone. We go through all of the hardships and the great things in life with hopes of making a profound, lasting impression on those around us. This video captures this scenario beautifully, while creating a situation that's

[syfenx]

3:27 til the end

[noblisss]

Every god damn fucking time I try to add a modest fucking mouse song to my fucking favorites it says it can't fucking play!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! some bull shit about the god damn sms code??? who else has this fucking problem???
