Lyrics:
And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong
And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
#ModestMouse #KingRat #OfficialHDVideo #Remastered
Apparently the band members met Heath Ledger through mutual friends in his hometown of Perth when they were touring Australia .. the story as told by Brock (probably, I can't remember where I read the interview) goes that they got to talking on a boat cruise about this song and concept which Heath then volunteered to make the video for, then many months later when they presumed the famous young movie star had completely forgotten about or ignored the project they received the full synopsis from him in the mail out of the blue. This is one reason why they made it exactly as he had envisioned it in his honour after his tragic and untimely death. Heath was a great, great actor (everyone knows that) but he was also a great creative artist and budding director with the world at his feet. He made his own video for Black Eyed Dog by Nick Drake but that has never been released publicly, and I've been looking for about 10 years now, and wanted to bring a biopic to the screen starring himself as Nick of course. Apart from everything he had going on including a new wife and young child, he was a man of his word as proven by this tale. We'll never know what else he might have achieved but the world is definitely the poorer without him :/ Rest in peace Heath, you made your mark.
Interesting..
Thanks for sharing this, I learned a lot. Blessings ♥️
Why so serious?
@@thelegendkillersshittyduff1335 im sorry your life sucks and thst youve made yourself an unlovable human but some people genuinely love each other and want to make something beautiful
@@vasaus I'm actually getting better thanks hope your day is going well
If he just said "WELL" the whole time, I'd be fine with that.
"WHALE! WHALE! WHALE!"
SAMEEEEE
ahh bee ahbla gaa ga ga Well well whale WHALE dee gaa
thats what i heard
Frosty @3
Wail well whale. Me too tbh
Heath Ledger: I have this half-finished animation about how whaling is bad. Do you have any songs that would fit?
Isaac Brock: We got this one about a criminal constantly returning to his life of crime. It mentions fish and water metaphorically a couple of times.
Heath Ledger: Perfect.
Quartz fr tho 😂
Also Heath Ledger: dead
You can't deny how well it worked though.
@@glaucovillasboas8212 um that's not funny
@@syntheseyez3577 The joke is bad but if you are refering to him being dead isnt funny then you don't get humor.
wow this video is a real eye opener. really shows you how many whales terrorize innocent humans each year.
Doug Dimmadome, Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, Father of Dale Dimmadome Heir to Dimmadome Fortune Your username is amazing.
That avatar though, is that a megaten game?
Doug Dimmadome, Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, Father of Dale Dimmadome Heir to Dimmadome Fortune I would say the same thing
I'm a bit late since I didn't get the notif, but yea, my old avatar was from a megaten game, acapella
Doug Dimmadome, Owner of the Dimmsdale Dimmadome, Father of Dale Dimmadome Heir to Dimmadome Fortune wow your name
I'm in love with this song for the pure sinisterness in Isaac's singing - as in he doesn't even need lyrics to sound like a psycho, his voice does it all! And I desperately wish there are more singers like him.
I've been trying for years. I still can't get my voice to pull this song off. It's addictive
The animated video which was "fully conceived down to the last detail but unfinished" when Ledger died in January 2008, it was completed by members of Los Angeles art collective/production company The Masses, namely Daniel Auber (co-director and illustrator), Norris Houk (lead animator), Jade Taglioli (animator) and Sara Cline (producer). Ledger who had also been part of The Masses, received a director's credit.
I just realized what the title means. King Rat is in reference to rat kings, where multiple rats get their tails stuck together and are bound to one another.
In most cases the rat king dies because none of the rats work together to move or untangle themselves. They all run in a different direction and never get anywhere.
Much like our society right now.
Yeah man we should just let you decide what we all do. Or were you gonna cooperate with the strongest so that youre doing your part for us to all go in the same direction? Don't preach on problems that don't have answers to.
@zack49 i mean it's better than sitting around doing nothing 😂
That is exactly how my mind and sees it too. I love this song and video. I show it to people when they ask about my music taste. Never goes well. They are usually very confused about what they heard and basically hate it. Poor mofos can't appreciate real art in music. That's how I realize there is no future in me and that person agreeing on much of anything. Oh well it weeds them all out so I can still be that bureaucratic Criminal in a world that is just broken in so many ways. Just like me.
@@RaguDumas It's totally valid to dislike a song, that doesn't mean someone doesn't appreciate/understand its artistic merit or that you two won't agree on anything- art is extremely subjective and that's part of the beauty of it. That being said, it's very fair to be irked when someone dismisses your music after asking what you like to listen to.
i thought king rat was just the polar opposite of modest mouse
I feel like I'm 10 years too late to the Modest Mouse party, damn these guys are good.
Never late. I love this band
Better late than never. This is a band that everybody should have the chance to experience in their lives. Even if it isn't everybody's taste, they should at least have the opportunity. They can be pretty life changing.
Never late. But please Check out modest mouse's early stuff. Seriously best rock band of the 90's
I’m 13 years too late i guess.
then im 14~15 years late
Song lyrics can have more than one meaning, and the people who insist this video is about humanity's woes and not about whale slaughter, are incorrect... I mean, the video's message is perfectly clear.
Google: “King Rat” Modest Mouse Video Directed by Heath Ledger Supports Sea Shepherd
In this video, Ledger was opposing the illegal commercial whale hunts by the Japanese and others. To raise awareness of the problems, the video depicts whales poaching humans to make pet food. Proceeds from iTunes purchases of the song were donated to the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, with full approval of the band. Respect to Modest Mouse.
cool I didn't know that. now I miss heath ledger.
Sky Chase Yep, thanks...people who love & respect life are worthy of being called human beings. Imagine what vile monsters we'd consider beings who did to us what we do to animals.
Don't forget the attention to the fish meal problem.
Videos and lyrics can have different meanings dude.
Something I love about modest mouse is that they put so much care into the instrumental portion of their songs. So much rock is built off of a frankly boring base of guitar and drums. It gets to the point that many songs are indistinguishable if you take away the voice.
Totally agreed. The majority of rock bands seem to think that rock is about powering through songs, but very few bands exhibit the same level of control over the sound and pace of a song as these guys
Built "on"
@@GamblerRuinedmodest mouse was an uprising band in the late 80s early 90s in the Seattle area around the same time Kurt cobain died he was from the same scene they were
its sad you have to compliment musicians for actually being musicians today
heath ledger directed this. absolute genius. 💕
wait are you serious?
Aty Pical I am!
l2ic3 I'm serious! 😊
That's Right
Miss
I love the facial expressions of the sun in this
That sun is just like "Nope"
Fr
This shows a clear message, one that we need to stop denying. It sickens me to think that we can be so ignorant about something so relevant and immoral.
Please, stop the senseless killing of Humans.
i cant tell if i should be laughing or recognizing it was a really stupid joke
Wouldn't you have to do both?
Ronan RiemanJohns You. I like you.
Thank you!
Ronan RiemanJohns No problem you got a good laugh out of me!
Saw them perform this gem in person...my life is complete
"We laughed about paying rent, cause the county jails they're free"
Can relate so hard
anyone else discover modest mouse as a child, and still listen as an adult?
I'm 16, not quite an adult yet but if it counts I discovered them when I was around 8 haha
started listening to mm when I was about 10 or 11, 17 now.
Oh yes
I discovered them when I was 11 and I'm 14 now but I know I will definitely be listening when I'm adult. it's rare when music can impact me no matter my age, especially in different ways each time.
I was 8
All of modest mouses old stuff is permanintly imprinted in my brain my mother playd nothing but modest mouse when i was a kid and im completly fine with it
you got a really cool mom
Here Here!
would not consider this old modest mouse :/ guess im just a sad sappy sucker in this lonesome crowded west
How old are you? I guess you could be in high school and born in the late 90s or early 2000s for your mom to have been playing you Modest Mouse. And while they're one of my top 3 favorite bands, they have some pretty depressing music and lyrics, so hope you're alright haha.
Yea I'm turning 15 in December the third so high school and as for me mom she's just cool she was on like 3 different bands before i was born doing drugs and shot calling but we'd always be playing this type of music and such
anyways thats my story
Damn the new season of flapjack looks dark.
I mean, flapJack is already messed up as it is.
Sorta 😖
@@grassymatts5596 Isaac did the theme song for flapjack once! Look it up, it's great
Isaac did the theme song for flapjack once! Look it up, it's great
It's one am and I'm drunk. I've clearly found the greatest band of all time 😂
Welcome to the forgotten good people’s club. Happy u found us❤️
It's one am I'm drunk, over 10 years ago was the last time I heard this, I'm still drunk at 1am nothing else is the same
I didnt know Heath had so many talents.
I mean he didn't animate it, but it's still a pretty good dark bit of commentary
Of course he does, he’s fucking Heath ledger
Ashamed Republican he didn’t animate it but he came up with the entire concept of the video, down to the last detail.
It is too bad Heath couldn't handle his drugs.
That's why mental health is so important, and drugs should be like swimming... you don't do it alone.
Love this art style
+Callum McCartney That's because it was directed by Heath Ledger. His mind was creepily fantastic.
Leah NeedsToStudy Yeah it was. Never knew they worked on owt before the credits to this song actually
20 Years I have loved Modest Mouse. Thank you for excellence. 👌👏🏼👌
This is the greatest song I've ever heard. Ive been listening to it for so long but it never gets dull.
I know what this video means and everything, but one huge question is just on my mind and wont leave me alone.
Does the fact that the sun has the face of a human, mean that in our world, if our sun had a face, it'd be the face of a WHALE?
These a re the real questions people. I need the answer.
ive got 2 wordstelletubbies or is that one i dunno (baby sun)
Nato Genocide Shoo, that wasn't at all what this comment thread is about, go find someone else who is complaining and wallow in your bitchy-ness and uselessness with others of your kind.
Yes
human face, why you ask? well certainly because jesus was the morning star, the sun rises in the morning. modest mouse is follow the path jesus went and am trying to tell people to stop being blind and repeated the world. soon enough there will be a big flood and everybody who has forgot the meaning of life wlll be left in the water and remain on earth.. satan is the light bearer which is why earth (hell) bears the sunlight and is filled with evil....
andrew cooper the morning star isn't Jesus bro it's Lucifer...
ladies and gentlemen, there is an objective limit number of times you are allowed to say "well" in a song - if you exceed that in the intro, well ...
Oh whale.
Kinda like Ozzy and R Zombie with "Yeah"
Are you sure he's not saying whale? ;)
I sea what you did here :v
Megumi the Blackcat Nice profile pic
My friend died and this was his favorite modest mouse song. Thank you for this.
My condolences 😢😢😢
[Intro]
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, I love this shit)
Well, well, well, well
[Verse 1]
We spun like birds on fire
Right down towards the residence
And I, I took all that I desired
Even crooks have to pay the rent
We swam like rats on fire
Right, right down the reservoir
We took all that we could carry
But we tried to carry more
[Chorus]
And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong
And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
[Verse 2]
We choked on street tap water
Well, I'm going to have to try the real thing
I took your laugh by the collar
And it knew not to swing
Any time I tried an honest job
Well, the till had a hole in it
We laughed about paying rent
Cause the county jails they're free
[Chorus]
And you know, you know, you know it all went wrong
And you know, you know, you know it was all wrong
[Verse 3]
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child
Well, deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child
Oh, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
I said it looks it's time to use my feet again
Well, I just spent my last one hundred dollars
God, I'll pay my bill again
Oh, I don't care
Oh, I just don't care
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a rag doll shaken and shy
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I went down like a burned out rag of a child
Well, King Rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again
I found out it's all loud open like an organ and it
Talk, talk, talk, talk again
He promised me that when I cheated him
But I could open my eye, well
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
Deep water, deep water, senseless denial
I got fed like a fish full of open smiles
Blue water, deep water, senseless denial
I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles
Well, well
What do you have to say for yourself?
I said well, well, well
I said well, well, well, well, well
Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again
I hardly knew I should use my feet again
What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?
Thank you!
Quite sure many of these lyrics are incorrect. Only a couple of minor problems in V1 and V2, but V3 gets a lot wrong.
As disturbing as that was, it had a striking and thought-provoking message.
It's interesting to see this being Directed by Heath Ledger, it makes me want to look more into his directorial information -if any exists.
His final performance in the movie: The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, is a rather bizarre foreshadowing of sorts- considering how dark his creative mind had been leading up to his unfortunate passing.
Seriously one of the best music videos I've seen. Disturbing, but I keep finding myself coming back to watch it.
same here
Its supposed to be, makes you realize how disturbing the flipside is
My heart is warm to see youngins in the comments appreciating the glory of Modest Mouse
It's like if Modest Mouse wrote a Tom Waits song. Great stuff.
why did I just find out that Heath Ledger directed this
Because you just happened to come across that information..?
That's awesome!
i saw this like 5 years ago and just realised this also
4hotpink10 IKR
Yep, that explains it now.
whales know how to party
I can get down with this.
Don't forget, you are always invited.
"Bring out the Human skin!"
For 13 years, this song has brought me back from a pit of self pity when I really need it most. MM understands my fucked up head like nobody's business.
The trumpets are the best part musically by far aaaahhhh!!!!😮
Oh my gosh yes, it's great to see some love for the trumpets on this one- they tie the whole song together!
Is this the new episode of spongebob?
+Olivia Perez this made my day
oh my god
+Olivia Perez Yes.
collect your prize good sir
*thunderous applause*
That sun is just Jeremy Clarkson from Top Gear
is it really?
Like telletubbies on crack
Well, that took a sharp fucking turn to the left.
WELL
I love how half of modest mouse's music is basically just an anthem for the near collapse of human civilization.
Directed by Heath Ledger, right before his death. I could see how singing this song into a mirror would be great preparation for his role as The Joker.
"Whale, whale, whale whale whale!"
Limoxide *well
old man whale*
yeah, because, "Whale, what do you have to say for yourself?" makes more sense than, "Well, what you you have to say for yourself?"
The song actually has nothing to do about whales, or whaling (at least not directly). The video is just a story that's being used to demonstrate the same thing the song is saying, a similar idea that King Rat (the book) is putting forth.
Also, look at the lyrics.
The official lyrics say "Well"
Dustin Snodgress it's a joke...
This song on acid literally sounds like he’s singing underwater. So cool and they’re so amazingly talented and unique. I love modest mouse!
The lyrics and visuals tell two very different stories but merge at the end.
I love this. When you look at it as human being slughtered you finally realize just how horrid the whole thing is... Amazing and eyeopening. I loe this song I keep listening to this song, I can't help it.
0:07 ha ha ha ha I love this shit
3:28
what
+Synthmalicious The lyrics
"I don't care"
Why don't you care?
I discovered them from a great friend when I was 17, I don't speak to him anymore but I'm 28 now and have listened to them for 11 years. They generate the lovely memories of our time together ❤🤼♂️
Those human cookies look good tho.
theyre human fish sticks
@@foreverpainful they still looks good as hell
The structure to this song is different to normal songs , I love it
The Sun is like Shrek
+Arpi Alemán Like the Grinch xD
+Arpi Alemán look just like Sherk
like Benedict the Sherlock
Reminded me of Trump, actually...
it looks like michael bay's tmnt, tbh
I didn't know this was directed by Heath Ledger..
i love modest mouse, they have sort of an optimistic depression sound. and its good. good news for people who love bad news was a good album, i love black cadilacs and bury me with it. and the last track on the album is really nice.
Ocean Breathes Salty and The World at Large...my two favorite tracks from Good News for People Who Love Bad News
As a kid I kind of hated on them as they were "emo" at least the couple of popular songs I heard. I had no idea back then how good they are
Modest mouse shows me how there is beauty in sadness, thank you MM forever listening!
My daughter saw this on her recommended and thought it was just a nice cartoon. Boy, was she taken for a surprise.
Doctor: "You have six minutes and four seconds left to live"
Kream Kong yep
This is one of the strangest music videos I've seen in awhile...
Didn't you mean "in awhAle"? :^)
DerStruppie ಠ_ಠ
heath ledger directed it that's why
you should see satellite skin by modest mouse
Strange but impactful and meaningful
Didn't know Heath Ledger directed this until seeing his episode on "Too Young to Die". Always loved this song though but this video is incredible.
Unfortunately I only knew a few songs by them growing up and am still randomly discovering new ones but this one? Insane. I’m in love.
Directed By: Heath Ledger
... Ooooh....
Why did he have to die? Why not Ben Affleck or Will Smith?
Just found this band... So beautiful. I love the violin so much, it's amazing
cello
R.I.P. Heath Ledger…..
As if there wasn’t enough reasons to adore him….
He directed this….. was a huge MM fan himself…
It made its debut on MySpace…💜
Most of it was all done ; but before the final details could be finished… he died..
Issac pushed for Heaths company to go ahead & lay the final touches since They were the ones aware of what Heath had in mind, & could finally bring to it to life according to Heaths vision.
🥺💔
Heath was such an undeniable genius. Much love 💕
He gave physical scars in the Dark Knight, He gave mental scars in this music video, Ladies and Gentleman HEATH LEDGER!!!
sounds like a Disney villain song
Animelover161001 no fucking
STFU weeaboo
rhask what the fuck did he or she do wrong
It doessss
lmfao
This song can sneak up on your if your not paying attention to what's playing. It starts without you even noticing and then by the second bridge your screaming along with the lyrics and the neighbors are banging on your door without you even realizing what your doing
Everybody is talking about the video, but won't we praise THOSE SUPERB VOCALS?
Great video by Heath Ledger and great song too
man modest mouse is amazing. their isn't a word that cant describe their brilliance and epic-ness their lyrics aren't empty meanings to make money. they have meaning and its just. gonna see em live soon.
Are they good live?
yes they are bettter live
Oh, definitely the same here. Only I have one little question first though... Is he saying, "WHALE!?!?," or "WELL!?!?" LoL.
Its well, but it sounds like whale so.......
i love the suns facial expressions. HEATH LEDGER RULES AND SO DOES MODEST MOUSE! Happy tears lol
I feel like this was directed after Heath Ledger locked himself in a hotel room for a month. If this was before that, I'm afraid to see what's in his journal.
1:34 SOYJAK
Not sure why after 13 years did CZcams decide to recommend this to me now but I am not complaining
It’s a good song, no matter how old!
When I heard about the Titan, submarine imploding, this song popped into my head specially the deep water part
Rest in peace Heath Ledger.
0:18 Fisherman Fizz?
I have years watching this video and till now I realize that Heath Ledder directed it he was an excellent artist
I love how everybody is just criticising the video and not giving a shit about the song's lyrics.
This is truly a piece of art
That vegan teacher is going to do a cover of this I bet
02:33
No one talkin about that dawyne impression? Lmao
Hey you might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Modest Mouse
@@SarahSmoothieface maybe, I mainly like teeth like gods shoeshine from them, I typically listen to death/sreamo metal but I'll check em out
I was not prepared for that name in the end credits. Lifelong MM fan and I found out this week. Incredible
1:45
heh sunjack
Rest in peace Heath Ledger. 2019
That feeling when you've finally found the song you've been searching for.
This was on rage 10 years or more ago thanks CZcams for finding it again
I believe this video is about hunting whales. Many of Modest Mouse's songs are ocean themed, and the music video is pretty straight forward. It depicts us as monsters (whales) and the whales as people with having families and being brutalized.
This video gave me nightmares as a kid 😭😭
Well King rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again...
I'm late as fuck to the party. What did I just listen to? This is the "Float On" band from high school? For real though, I had no idea Modest Mouse was this original. I love it. Any album/song suggestions for a new Modest Mouse fan? RIP Jeremiah.
If you like this you'd probably like Whale Song, Cowboy Dan, and most songs off of The Lonesome Crowded West, another good album is Good News For People Who Love Bad News, that's the album Float On is featured in, although the rest of the songs are very very different from Float On.
Thanks for the recommendations. I'll definitely check them out.
My guy, listen to sad sappy sucker. Tons of old recordings from Isaac on that one. It’s rough around the edges but some of the songs absolutely bang!
Cowboy Dan. Dramamine. 3rd planet
Can’t say we don’t deserve this
It's kill or be killed, look what they are doing to us in a parallel universe
this is a different universe from our’s. in this world, humans are whales, and whales are humans. so these people didn’t deserve it
Smell that air, can’t you just drink it like booze?
Come on VEVO know your shit. This was directed by Heath Ledger for Christ's sake. You know the awesome joker who died what seems not that long ago (RIP :( Your fans miss you).
Getting high to modest mouse in highschool was something else
Did you know ?! Rat shares with human kind, the ability to laugh. May you believe, or not, scientists has been giggling some rats and these are producing ultra sounds believed to be LOL !
Heath Ledger had a great mind. when he made this he knew exactly what he was doing. RIP Heath
This song was ok to me the first time i listened to it.. It's now one of my favourite songs ever. The lyrics are so deep, and the video is so cool
Song came to my head randomly for first time in a decade and im glad it did ❤
You have not lived until you've screamed "WELLLLLL" along with Isaac at a live show.
My dad introduced me to king rat
And I love this song
I really love how they usually add an environmental twist to their music on top of the true meaning. 💙
