Too bad when I was young. 17 years ago. A half a lifetime ago I was. So carefree, I miss my friends. Thank goodness I made it. Still dealing with depression and grief but I’m still here. Music, family, love and of course God helped ❤ 🙏🏽 🎶

Sadness is there for a reason of happiness being there too

Tgis was when modest mouse was good, created and Broke alot of relationships. Lost a sweatshirt at a concert in Reno back in 2002 and i remeber all of it. Why is the name Roz on the hotel slip?

You know there has to be a certain amount of pride that comes to you when you make a song that is so emotionally devastating that the people that listen to it come back and edit their comments SEVERAL years between. My biggest compliment is that I avoid this song like the plague, it rips my heart out of my chest and forces me to watch. It's so beautiful but it really destroys me. But I return to listen against my better judgement probably once or twice a year. When I'm in the mood to break down this song has the ticket! I wish I had never heard it, but it's a pain that apparently I love to feel when necessary.

I'm from Reno. I've lost so much in that town. This song definitely has always made me feel a sense of sadness but in a way that makes complete sense. The last night I got to spend with my best friend we walked right down that street past that motel. We both loved modest mouse and this tune. The next morning he was dead from accidentally ingesting fentanyl and I couldn't get him help quick enough. Rest in paradise Kyle. Love you brother. I'm sorry man.

I miss these types of music videos. I remember in high school seeing and hearing Modest Mouse for the first time in the local pizza shop with my friend. The tv used to always be set to the music channel. Didn't realize how great those days were at the time. For modest mouse vibes you should check out Lonely Gimmick - Stay at home to sleep in, it gives me Modest mouse vibes and its my friend from high schools music project. I'm seriously impressed.

My mom used to play this album when it came out. I turned eleven that summer. First kiss, housing crises, a long summer, Midwest highway road-trips. Memories drawn from my heart; things I had forgotten from the callous of time.

I have been watching this for about 16 years now...

This is literally the saddiest video in existence. I have never not watched it and cried and now as a mom to a 3 year old it feels like someone rips my heart out and stomps on it when i watch it.

I’m sorry Arip Ty for the song

This is the best song

As a 35 year old guy that suppresses his emotions and has trouble opening up, I come to this song occasionally and the tears just flow. Thank you Modest Mouse

This music video is somehow more sad than pixars up

This song makes me fall apart

This one is for you noble

🗣️THATS😭WHAT😔WE’RE🤔WAITING FOR

This video has really strange magnetism to it. As if it attracts those, whose souls are broken almost beyond repair, and somehow shelters them

That’s the saddest music video I’ve ever seen. Wow. Fucking brutal heartbreaker.

This is the only song that really makes me emotional and its 99% bc of the music video, brutal.

Every single time ugly crying, months apart, days apart, minutes apart. Eventhough I've never experienced this heartbreak I relive it every time.

being with her is so draining, there’s problems every goddamn day, but i’m saving a life and i love her so much

Genuinely don’t know how people can say We Were Dead was when they stopped trying when songs like this exist. Might be their most emotional song ever and that’s saying something after some songs on M&A and Good News.

She checks into Lucky motel while living a very unlucky life. It's tragic. I guess the luck was to have known her son.

This is and always will be my favorite band ❤ Modest Mouse stirs the depths of my soul ❤

Wow 16 years ago. I remember stealing my brothers modest mouse cds and listening to them walking through the woods with a portable cd player w headphones. Time flies

I've loved this song for years but ngl, after I had my son back in 2020, this video makes me cry every time I see it. Him being in the NICU after he was born was so hard....getting released after my C-section and not being able to being him home with me was nothing short of devastating. It was the middle of COVID, july 2020, and Ronald McDonald house was closed to most people because of it byt luckily, they had a little room they'd let people stay in right by the NICU that opened up 4 days after I was released so I was able to stay there with him but it was still so hard since I was all alone. No one else was allowed in due to covid restrictions. We made it through it together though, him and I. The day I got to bring him home finally was one of the best of my life.

Ive listened to so much music over the years, and I have to say this is hands down the saddest song Ive ever heard. The song along with the video just tears my heart in two everytime I hear it but its one of my absolute favorite songs.

Last year, this exact day, I lost my baby, this song, has heal me so many time. Thank you.

Holy Shit.

Best video ever made

Im asked to do some strange things. Truth is it's holiday season and this always happens. Moving forward, if it's frowned upon, please tell us kindly so we can change within reason. Everyone has family and loved ones and it's just a lot of pressure to keep up. Whether it's a safe hotel close to elderly parents, upgraded cars with proper safety features, a Childs playground with two swings and not just one. This stuff matters.

Makes me cry when it hits that part everytime. So much conveyed through the sound, remembering a dream you cant hold forever.

Who made this video?? As a father of a 7 yo this is the most heart wrenching thing I've ever seen. My throat is still hurting from crying. I've heard this song many times but I never listened to it as a final lullaby. Thank you for this piece of horrible and beautiful art.

RIP Jeremiah, best member in my opinion. Love you.

I love this song, I've loved it for about 4 years now, but the video absolutely wrecks me. I start crying at the beggening because of how I know it how it ends

This song destroys me. Im not gonna go into details or write a sad post. Im not looking for nor fishing. But that song,..

This is magical.

This song makes me very sad.

I can't tell you how many times I wanted to do this when my son was sick.

Ouch my everything....

RIP

This song is so well-constructed.

This song is for Katie. I miss you!

ID phucn perish to send my words a cross

since i'm still a teenager, i never thought i'd ever "relate" to this song, but one of my family's cats, her name was Tequila, was diagnosed with diabetes recently. she was in a horrible state, drinking probably too much water and was just very low energy in general. my parents decided to put her down yesterday. i know she could've gotten better, since we got the supplies for it from the vet and everything, but it's too late now. and the vets apparently said they didn't know if she'd make it. rest in piece Tequila. you were a great cat.

I dont get the video. Her son does and she steals him from the hospital? I originally thought it had something to do with the dad leaving and it metaphorically killing the kid
