Modest Mouse - Blame It On The Tetons

Not my personal favorite by Modest Mouse but still, it's a song by Modest Mouse, and therefore I must upload it. Cool piano though, I do like that part.

Blame it on the Tetons. Yeah, I need a scapegoat now.
No my dog won't bite you, though it had the right to.
You oughta give her credit cuz she knows I would've let it happen.

Blame it on the weekends. God I need a cola now.
Oh we mumble loudly, wear our shame so proudly.
Wore our blank expressions, trying to look interesting.
Blame it all on me cuz God I need a cold one now.

All them eager actors gladly taking credit
for the lines created by the people tucked away from sight
is just a window from the room we're bound to.
If you find a way out, oh would you just let me know how?
Would you just let me know how?

Blame it on the web but the spider's your problem now.
Language is the liquid that we're all dissolved in.
Great for solving problems, after it creates a problem.
Blame it on the Tetons. God, I need a scapegoat now.

Everyone's a building burning
with no one to put the fire out.
Standing at the window looking out,
waiting for time to burn us down.
Everyone's an ocean drowning
with no one really to show how.
They might get a little better air
if they turned themselves into a cloud.


(And stick around till' the end)

Can they do wrong? I mean, it says loads about a band when a song this good is one of the "bad" ones.

[Guercinator]

@Moonfoote I never said this song is bad, it's just not my favorite.... But I know what you mean...

[buffalohouston]

KInd of sounds like early beatles

[Guercinator]

@buffalohouston yeah kinda

[masterp2214]

this song is good. just soft. i am more of a march into the sea or white lies yellow teeth guy but its all so good

[Guercinator]

@masterp2214 white lies, yellow teeth is a good one. It's an old outtake from lonesome crowded west

@ Everyone what makes modest mouse, is the music comes from the heart, these songs all have something we can all relate too, these songs are BEAUTIFUL, these songs have meaning, i haven't found a modest mouse song i haven't LOVED, i loved modest mouse they have helped me through so many hard times, made me realize that i'm not the only one who feels so fucked up in the world, These songs have heart, and it makes them amazing.

@buffalohouston Except actually good.

[boomblind12]

@masterp2214 part of what makes modest mouse so good is exactly that ... the spectrum between the march into the sea or cowboy dan guy to the sleepwalking blame it on the tetons, bankrupt on selling kinda person is so vast and the ground covered imbetween is perhaps what makes them so impressive

This album is fucking amazing..the song before it somehow flows together with this one so well.

[mrconejoman]

IM GOING TO MAKE MUSIC LIKE THIS ONE DAY

WONT BE EASY TO COMPREHEND

[1Tyrano1]

This is one of Modest Mouse's most impressive songs. It's a complete shift of style and it still is amazing.

[SnakebitXI]

This book reminds me of the last Hunger Games book. Very depressing.
