Modest Mouse and 764-HERO Whenever You See Fit (part 1)

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPxu0i0lcgw

Please rate and comment especially if you have some thoughts on the lyrics. :)

A few notes:

Great song imo but apparently not many people bought the cd or heard of it?

Can't put into words how much I love this song.

764-HERO is no longer together but they have some great albums as well and I humbly suggest you check them out.

Lyrics:
You and me
Whenever we go wrong
Wake up early and you'll live to regret (Nothing is clear)
And you'll tell it to the telephone (tell the truth)
Look whenever you're talking all alone (Whenever you see fit)
And everything you ever said
Wake up early and you'll live to regret it

Spend some time, whenever you go wrong
Wake up early and you'll live to regret it
And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (tell the truth)
And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (whenever you see fit)
Well, talking on the telephone
Looking at yourself like you're all alone (Everything's wrong)
And everything you ever said
Wake up early and you'll live to regret it

Everything's wrong
Talking on the telephone

Talking like a talking bell
You'll go to bed early and you'll talk to your pillow
You'll go to bed early and you'll talk to your pillow
You'll go to bed early and you'll talk to your pillow
You'll go to bed early and you'll talk to your pillow
You and me, whenever we see fit
Talking on the telephone (Nothing is clear)
Looking at ourselves like we're all alone
And, everything you ever said
Wake up early and you'll live to regret
Wake up early and you'll live to regret it all

You and me
Talking on the telephone
Looking like we're all alike, we're all alone (whenever you see fit)
And, everything you ever said
Everything's clear (And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret)
Tell the truth (And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret)
Every once in a while (And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret)
And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret
And you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret (Nothing's the same)
And you'll wake up early again
Talking on the phone like your own best friend
And, everything you ever said
Every thought I ever meant I'll ever do

Wake up early
And you'll live to regret

Talking on the telephone
Looking at ourselves like we're all alone
Yeah, we're talkin' on the phone again
Acting like we are our own best friend
And, everything you ever said
Every thought I ever meant or ever did
You'll wake up early and you'll live to regret
Well, you'll wake up early and you'll live to regret
Yeah

You and me
Whenever you see fit
Talkin' on the telephone again
Lookin' at yourself like your own best friend (Nothing is clear)
And, everything you ever did (Tell the truth)
Wake up early and you'll live to regret (Whenever you go wrong)
And wake up early and you'll live to regret it all and all again
And all

Now and then
Whenever you see fit
Nothing is clear
Tell the truth
Whenever you go wrong
Everything's fine

when i first listened to this i didnt like it that much but i read the lyrics and i think i get it now. its like isaac's conscience is talking to him or vice versa. isaac brock should be given a nobel epic prize. thanx for uploading this

[anon2999]

@DIGFOOL I always thought of it as saying things you can't take back. For instance with someone you know so well your mind just kind of flows freely when you're speaking with them and eventually you say something they can't ignore and you can't take back.

But that's probably just a habit of mine projecting itself onto this song. :P

Thanks for your take on the song, I love how art like this can mean any number of different things to any number of people!

[modestspill]

isn't there any version of this song that isn't split up into 2 parts? i know its a long song, but it is really necessary?

[anon2999]

so far as I know non educational youtube videos have a cut off of 10 minutes.

[Apollofar]

You are a GOD!

Just spent the last hour and a half listening through (and repeating) many of the unreleased MM songs that you've uploaded. Love it all. As soon as I scrape some money together, I'm going to order this. DAMN GOOD STUFF!

[anon2999]

Really glad you enjoyed the uploads and it's always nice to see people from outside The States posting! :)

[melstew221]

well i dont buy music online (i suppose you'd need a credit card) so i guess i'd be referring to in-store. although i do download music occasionally. so shoot me. i'm a musician and i don't give two shits about getting paid, that's not why i do it. but thanks for the guilt trip i will now gtfo

[DeezyDoesIt420]

What's some good 764 hero stuff? Albums, songs? Love the dudes voice..

[DirectingSven]

this song got me through junior year of highschool



[CLOUDGIRL40]

Wow.. First time hearing thise. All I can say is.. Amazing. Wow.

[JakePhillipsVideos]

@anon2999 it's now 15 minutes. if you have time could you post it as one video? that would be amazing

[spicetwo]

I bought the vinyl for this at a Modest Mouse and 764 -Hero show. Plus they played this song live too .It was back in 1999 awesome!!!!!!!!!

[nelsonbrito83]

I have this on Vinyl with 3 different versions of this song. One of my all time favorite songs.

thanks for youtubing it.

[JDC1316]

@anon2999 I got this song off of the Zune marketplace a few years ago if that helps.

[DIGFOOL]

@anon2999 cant really say the true meaning of any MM song. for example, night on the song has been interpreted as being about drugs. it has also been enterpreted as a love song. it leaves som much open so u can relate to all the songs and apreciate the meaning even if he wrote for something else.

[jovanna242]

i saw 764-hero back when this came out..i have yet to see modest mouse.
