Lachlan Hargis ie: that line is pretty much a direct quote from "Something Happened" - by Joseph Heller, a masterpiece of unreognized proportions...check it out, if a reader...prob an accident, I dont see Issac & crew plagiarizing.
+SomeCallMeMrGrandview I remember a very similar line in the song Pink Bullets by The Shins. In their re-wording, it's, "The years have been short, but the days were long." Whether these "similarities" are accidental or on purpose, doesn't ultimately matter. Art is really just an ongoing conversation of humanity-at-large. Similar ideas inevitably crop up over time naturally, or get recycled: called back, re-worded, re-purposed, even "stolen." Like Picasso said, "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." Great art is great art. And great art can do what it damn well pleases lol.
+Modest Mouser I wish these were the music videos on tv back when MTV music videos was popular, and I wish I knew modest mouse back when. your videos make me very 'I wishy' but it's alright. the dramamine video made me think of Ohio, if you haven't already made a video for ohio you should, I'd love to see what you come up with. these two videos if watched connected me to the song more than I remembered I could... op had a very solid point, ears seeing... that next level shit. but you did it, you put people on the next level of seeing/hearing/feeling music. great video and great post OP
you're a goddamn genius pal, that shot of the buffalo running, with the rewind in time with the vinyl scratch, at 2:12 completely captures the aesthetic of this song, big respect keep it up.
This song is awesome. The guitar reminds me of racing nagging thought, the bass line slugs along like depression, and the drums sound janky, yet fitting to the mood of the song. Modest Mouse, my favorite band without a doubt.
They're really good @ capturing emoting, feelings, moods & intuition in their instrumental. Love em, one of the cleanest sounding grunge sounding bands I know
I love the loose rhythm section with that "nagging" riff (great word to describe it) cutting through. But my favorite part of this song is the masterful lyrics.
@@rockyevans1584 you’re actually wrong. When you google the phrase, modest mouse is the only thing in the results. Plus I’ve never heard it til I heard this song.
@williamdavid9272 try getting some social interaction, common phrases aren't exclusive online. My grandparents on both sides said this to me when I was under 10, I'm 36
@williamdavid9272 when it comes to vernacular, anecdotal evidence reigns supreme. I'll just assume you think modest mouse informed my grandparents and everyone else I've heard say this phrase. Appreciate the laughs broski
practically moves me to tears... It's not just the fact that the song has the word buffalo in it, this video just seems to fit every aspect of the song as if the video was made for the music in the first place or vice-versa.
Dude I feel the same way when I watch the edit the sad parts video. All of these videos fit sp perfect and capture the whole spirit of whatever song its about
Worst song to hear when you're ~19yo driving through the countryside at 4am, feeling somewhat suicidal...... But the tune is so good you decide to stay on the road....
The days go by so slow without you by my side anymore yet the months go by so fast. Seems like 8 months ago was yesterday and you were right next to me now it's more like strangers you and I. I don't know if you would ever see this out taste in music never matched up all the time but I love you Ashante. Still do.
After being introduced to them 13 years ago, I swear I still rock this song like it came out yesterday. Saw their show last month and nearly cried when it ended. Don't ever stop rocking, Modest Mouse!!!
Me and my partner had our relationship ending argument while this was playing. Modest Mouse has always been there for me in a funny way. Funny how the years go fast and the days go so slow!
I think (but probably don't) finally understand the lyrics. Issac is describing a kind of tug-of-war I guess between the brain and the heart. The heart causing (emotional?) misery to the brain out of spite and bitterness for something the brain caused I guess. It's heavy.
Dunk Danny in scripture and otherwise the heart has been long regarded as the emotional center of a person. Brain = logical/factual center ; Heart = emotional center. And whether you're aware of it or not the two are in constant competition.
Justin Sullivan Yeah. Its being used metaphorically used here. “The days go slow but the years go fast” kind of emphasizes this phenomenon where emotion (the heart) can distort reality (cook the brain).
Oliver Black Not the song? Lol... Though the video certainly complements it. In fact, all the fan made Modest Mouse videos I've seen are fucking fantastic. You'd think they were professional/official.
I always forget about this song and then I randomly come across it in a time in my life when I absolutely need to hear it. A beautiful song that most can't comprehend.
modest mouse is about 30 years my senior and they have gotten me through every stage of life, how are we all not connected, every single beautiful soul that sees this,we all feel it in our own way and thats why we all stopped here, right on!
I hate that my channel got deleted for making awesome lyric videos like this one. In other news, I saw modest mouse play this entire album live in Chicago last week. It was incredible. So thankful!
You seem to have done all the awesome Modest Mouse songs that people only ever get to listen to on their own. It would have saved me a lot of time finding gems like these if these were all up on here when I was 12.
We were doing a project for cultural groups like Colonists, native Americans, Africans and Japanese Was doing a PowerPoint Convinced my teacher to have this play at my presentation The class liked it
I broke through the first time shrooming to this song . Great times in montebello on Howard hill . Now I’m on a bigger hill hesperia ! Hope this song bring you and your kids joy if one day we can show this song , if we remember and don’t get dementia
"We tore one down and erected another there. The match of the century; absence versus thin air." Damn that one hits me deep. It's so damn true. Everything these days is so damn hollow. A shame really
preservation of history is under attack by land development. preservation of architecture in the future will be near impossible for sights that's are not already protected with historical significance today.
@@gohawkeyes529 just looked it up, seems its absence vs. thin air. Which makes it deeper imo... Because what he's saying is that the match of the century is nothing vs. nothing. What we fight for on either side is meaningless, and the idols who wage ideological wars stand for nothing to keep us fighting. Prior to this he says "I try to get my head clear..." Which shows he knows these forces have a place in his head even though he knows they mean nothing, which is the root of the problem. Because his heart cooks his brain. His emotions cook his ability to think and his ability to escape the mental circumstances and feeling of emptiness and purposelessness he feels. Which them affects his ability to do anything about the problem his brain is conscious of. It's a loop. Like "the seagulls and the ravens" pushing each other "inwards and outwards". He knows that even if he could overcome this, to win would mean "we tore one down and erected another there..." to begin the cycle all over again. He tries to "push things out through his mouth" but he gets refilled through his ears. It goes on and on... "The years go fast but the days go so slow..."
@@bryancloutier5665 lol who cares about architecture. I think you miss the point of this song and video if that's what you're concerned with preserving.
Man, what a great video! Thank you for putting this and all the others together. I think they are each a perfect video for the song. I love how each one has the lyrics front and center - one of the most important and easily lost part of any Modest Mouse song. Fed to you one word at a time is even better... The mood, content, all spot-on. If you are taking requests, I would kill to see "Trailer Trash" or "Doin' the cockroach".
Just saw Zombie Land Double Tap & they did this to kill a bunch of zombies, was amazing because I have watched this video like 100 times. Very good movie, highly recommend.
I hate that some people won't give Modest Mouse a chance cause they say they don't like Isaac's voice. His voice is like the best part of the band??
it takes getting used to, once I fell for it I realized its the best voice out there, true visionary. I love the double layered vocals, like 2 different people out of 1 voice
I know right
!! not ?? Their energy is refined. They seem to channel The Beatles sweetly!
in more recent songs a lot of them sound the same due to his voice, imo, so i can see where ppl are coming from, but this songs great
Taylor Peck agreed you don't need an angel's voice to rock same with White Stripes imo they just have that something
years go fast and the days go so slow
Lachlan Hargis ie: that line is pretty much a direct quote from "Something Happened" - by Joseph Heller, a masterpiece of unreognized proportions...check it out, if a reader...prob an accident, I dont see Issac & crew plagiarizing.

This is from a TV show can't remember the name but its really great
I love natives

Check out the God is an Indian and You're an Asshole song. The aesthetic is great and it's probably my favorite song name ever.
Well said
Rest in peace Jeremiah Green ✌🏻😭
when it's 1am and you can't go to sleep so you listen to modest mouse
when you find your comment from two months ago that you don't even remember posting but you like it because it's still true

Same. Cried when it ended a week ago.

djhero0071 wrong. The heart has no emotion. It is all in the brain.
Dunk Danny in scripture and otherwise the heart has been long regarded as the emotional center of a person. Brain = logical/factual center ; Heart = emotional center. And whether you're aware of it or not the two are in constant competition.
Justin Sullivan Yeah. Its being used metaphorically used here. “The days go slow but the years go fast” kind of emphasizes this phenomenon where emotion (the heart) can distort reality (cook the brain).
Yea man. You got it.
The passion of the heart overrides the rationallity of his mind, generally in a negative way, is another way to look at/put it.
Logic vs emotion I think. Logical to not smoke a cigar, but many like the feeling.
This band means so much to me. This song and album in particular. I feel like I relate to it so much. It's almost eerie.
Tears dude.
man its crazy the minds to create things like this exist.
That rewinding buffulo shot is the sole reason I liked this video, too cool.
Oliver Black Not the song? Lol... Though the video certainly complements it. In fact, all the fan made Modest Mouse videos I've seen are fucking fantastic. You'd think they were professional/official.

whats up, 2020- one of my favourite fan vids, for one of my favourite songs, thanks for the video man
Dude this is awesome, keep it up :)

What an amazing song. Modest Mouse is truly one of the most brilliant bands in the history of music.
this totally looks like an official video
I have been into modest for awhile and they never seem to get old...and to the person making these videos please keep it up...your talent is immense
modest mouse is about 30 years my senior and they have gotten me through every stage of life, how are we all not connected, every single beautiful soul that sees this,we all feel it in our own way and thats why we all stopped here, right on!

Scarlette M Thank you for the kind words.
+Modest Mouser yes, they're amazing
Modest Mouser very emotional :)
Ive listened to this song on repeat about 12 times so far.
This video is absolutely beautiful.
This song is helping me through my break up.
can't skip this song on auto play, no matter how many times you heard it
Best videoclip ever made... thanks mate
Lyrics are absolutely beautiful
Modest Mouse don't have nearly as much recognition as they deserve.
Not even close
This video is so well made, I just now realized that it’s not an official video. Well done
YES. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO MORE.
only found this song a few months back and obsessed with the band now!
This video, this lyrics means life.
Most people usually say Trailer Trash or Cowboy Dan is the best song on Lonesome Crowded West, but this has always been my personal favorite.
the first track tho
I hate that my channel got deleted for making awesome lyric videos like this one. In other news, I saw modest mouse play this entire album live in Chicago last week. It was incredible. So thankful!
This is my #1 modest mouse song. I cry every time
I was deep focused watching video. Like I was in a trance for a second . Great video and one of best song seems simple but meaning full
YES! I've been waiting so long for this, thank you for another great video! Looking forward to more.
Definitely.
All these years and I still can't take this song off repeat. Thanks for the killer video!

Probably my favorite Modest Mouse song still...such an underrated band and song! This vid is so fitting too!! Beautifully done
Man, your lyrics videos are the best. I am so glad I discovered it randomly. Thanks for introducing me to a new band! :)
Best unoffical video I've ever seen, irrelivant of the excellent song.
Favorite of mine - my brains the cliff, and my hearts the bitter buffalo

Modest Mouser, you are easily the best thing about listening to Modest Mouse besides the music itself.
Keep it uuuuuuuuuuuuuuup
Blew my mind when i heard record scratching on this song
so perfect, captures the essence of my fav mouse song. this is what perfect lyrics look like people!!
This is what anxiety sounds like
Oh, man. Too true.
This has been my favorite song for years
Why am I in tears? Who did this? Why am I here why am I having an existential crisis.
You look like you’re about 17, my guy. Judging by your other music tastes, I’m guessing your suffering from a bad case of teenage angst.
This song was a bonding between myself and my now lover
Really brilliant video, thank you!
This video is awesome. Really well done. Love this song too
Awesome lyrics.
Acid and this song go well together
Men, your videos are great, Modest Mouse its a fantastic band, and your videos make it so much cool! Keep working!
