Lyrics:
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile
#ModestMouse #OceanBreathesSalty #OfficialHDVideo #Remastered - Hudba
As a non-native English speaker, I heard this song first when I was at 18. And my thought was ‘hmm, A song of life and death. Too Mundane’, I understood Nothing.
And now I’m at age 30. I tried to find a job at 27, While my Ex-GF and my ex-best friend both betrayed and leave me.
I tried to begin again and every struggling of mine failed. All I was thinking is ‘My life sucks from the start and never be paid off’. and I’ve always thinking about putting an end of myself by 2 years.
All of a sudden I reminded this song and played again. And I finally relized what this song’s true meaning ‘why don’t you love your life while you still can?’. I decided to get a grip and got a counseling.
Now I found a new job abroad, Started a new hobbies, and my collegues are relying on me. Everything changed and I’m a little bit more happier man now.
Thanks Modest Mouse. And thank you for reading this boring story of mine. May you can find peace of mind by this song like myself.
I gree with you my friend, exactly this.
Chin up. Don't look back, and keep pushing on champion
you the man
that must've been very difficult for you. I'm so glad to hear you're doing better now.
you must appreciate the life you have while you still can. you're awesome.
but they betrayed you how ? this is really scary. i hope you feel better somehow
The scene where the boy wakes up to see Isaac, alive and healthy, reminds me of the last time I saw my dad. He was in the hospital, dying from a terminal illness. We drove out of state to see him. In the hospital, He told me that one day, I’ll see him again. I was too young to know what was going on, so I didn’t think much of it.
That night, I had a dream that played out just like this. My dad was standing there, healthy as can be. He held out his arms and smiled at me. We ran, we jumped, we did everything we could possibly do. I was the happiest boy in the world. Everything was perfect.
I woke up the next day and realized it was all a dream. I found out that my dad passed away in his sleep not long after I left. I still think about that dream. I love you dad. One day, I will see you again.
You should watch 'Beloved' by Mumford and Sons. ✌
Sending love.
I am so sorry.
ya it will rip your soul out
I love the lyrics, but god, the instrumentals always make you feel the raw emotion, it’s crazy that just the plucking of a guitar can carry so much meaning.
🙏🏿🙏🏿 well done like some want steak.
Art has the power to pass on emotions
Well said
This song has been out for over 15 yrs .. glad you finally found it .. enjoy
Have you listened to the instrumental version? Listen to that without lyrics. Forget the lyrics. The instrumental far surpasses the lyrics. Ima. Listen to Samuel Barber - “Adiago for strings,” if you want depressing instrumental
RIP Jeremiah Green. Always went above and beyond with his drumming.
i was searching for this coment :(
He did not play on this...
While he is in the video he did not play in the recording of this song (or the whole album)
How sad :(
🐰🥁
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye. Arguably my favorite lyric of all time
Mine is, "You wasted Life why wouldn't you waste Death..."
Daniel Austin absolutely you read my favorite verse no one has ever done that I'm in my husband's id but he never knew that
That whole verse is amazingly good.
I swore as a younger person it was "when tom and i shook hands and said goodbye" lol.
I always assumed it was "You missed when time and life shook hands and said, 'Good luck! For your sake, I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath.'" All as one phrase
I played this song one night in a tiny little bar in my hometown on their internet jukebox. I expected the older regulars to hate it. One of them came up and asked who the band was, they all seemed to really enjoy it. Never gonna hesitate to play a song I'm unsure about again.
Never hesitate throwing on some modest mouse. 👌
Good music is good music, regardless new or old.
This makes me happy.
Just gave you 100 likes!
@@vampirexion it's so satisfying.
“You wasted life. Why wouldn’t you waste death?” Those lyrics still get to me years after I first heard this song, it still brings tears to my eyes.
gg
A lyric more religious people need to take to heart.
QQ
I'm gonna put that quote on my obituary when I die. It literally describes me to a Tee
Arrrrgh, my heart. Now, I can’t unlove this😎
Not gonna lie, everyone who listened to this and commented are amazing. When I saw no negative comments and everyone supporting each other on this page I was thrilled. This band is genius and in tune with reality. Float on.
I hope you had a nice roll. If you weren't rolling, you are like a super real nice person lol Godspeed
godspeed either way
Not gonna lie. This one of my top 5 fave songs/videos ever. Makes me feel the joys of childhood all over again.
you said it bro
I wasted life. But hopefully I won’t waste dearh
How does this band make me feel so alive yet dead inside at the same time.
Love them.
They wanted it to be paradoxical. In a way, they are revealing the secret of life.
Because they bring into focus how it feels to be alive (and thus slowly dying) in a dead world that insists it isnt.
My heart goes out to the band, fans, and family who lost an amazing person today, Rest in Peace Jeremiah🤍
I just want to give them all a big hug :'(
@@marlosouthwell same I wanna hug isaac and Simon especially since they were the closest
Wasn’t even aware of this. Woah.
@@collinwatson3319 it happened really fast, the band announced he had stage 4 cancer and was receiving treatment and then like 2 or 3 days after the band’s announcement he passed away in his sleep. So unbelievably sad. I think they knew he wasn’t doing too good so they made the announcement and once they did, he passed🙁
Had no idea. I just know I have enjoyed his music since I heard it
This song and band beckons a lonely grieving soul but in the comment section you find out your not the only one. Hope anyone reading this has a wonderful life
Im so alone, love you dude ❤
I’m glad i found so many others like me !
Hi I recommend a song called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
I miss my brother 😥
Me too,Me too.I'm a grieving soul,I lost My mom 12 years and 5 months ago,and I was very close to her.I miss her,and I loved her with all My heart.John Guinto
Coming from an abusive home I never understood the connection between a child and their father so when I had my kid I was constantly spending my time with him thinking that I don't matter to him and that he'd be better off without me. One night my depression got really bad and I was going to end everything when I came across this music video and I saw the smile he gave the crow when he dreamed it was better and recognized it from when my son looks at me. The quote "you wasted life why wouldn't you waste death" hit me hard after that because that's what I was doing. I was wasting my life thinking my family would be better off without me and that my death was going to be wasted because of it. That it wouldn't accomplish anything and that my son needs me.
I can assure you, your son may not know it now, but he is very grateful you are still around.
dont waste your life easily dear brother,i dont marry yet in my 26 years of life because of this particular things you've said..at least prove me i'm wrong,keep on believing in yourself for the sake of the people around you..we are the best form of our life in "someone's" eyes,just get on with it..people need your presence,families need your presence and you yourself need your presence in life until the very death comes knocking on your life in the most respectful way..heads up big bro,i'm sure you will be better than u are today because u are better enough to stop the urge 😉
Wow that hit me right in the feels.
So glad I read this comment ☹️🥺🥺 thank you for saying and thank you for _staying_ I wish all the best for you and your son 🤍🤍
Brother keep choosing life, like this video it's all about perspective, I suffer myself so I understand its harder said than done. All the best with yourself and your family
meet a guy in rehab. we werent aloud to listen to music so we sang this over and over together. passed away a month later from an overdose.
+Kenny Brown sorry about your loss man. I hope you're doing well
+Kenny Brown I'm sorry.
How are you doing?
:(
modest mouse fans are here for you bro
This song helped me cope with the grief of the loss my brother 22 years ago. The pain doesn’t go away you just learn to live with it and somehow keep going.
U never forget what you lost, u learn to deal with it. It's been 3 years and I still hurt everyday
My brother showed me this and had passed 2 years ago. This song has always held a piece of my heart because of that
My brother died last year, he had cystic fibrosis and this song always made me worry about losing him. Now he's gone.
Grief is love without a place to put it
for them
I'm 62. These lyrics touch the soul of a certain, special kind of people. It reached back in time when I first heard it years ago, back to my own childhood black and white as it may have been. How many of us are the crow? How many are the little boy? Or are we all both? I played the whole DVD this song was from over and over again.
My best friend is the one who introduced me to Modest Mouse with this song in particular. He shot himself on December 29, 2014, resulting in his untimely death. My heart always sinks and tears always come to my eyes whenever I hear the words "You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?" R.I.P. Kyle Thomas
It took me 11 years but I think I finally figured out this reference is (very sad) reference to Vincent VanGogh, who painted a painting with a wheat field with crows over them before killing himself. Famous for painting sunflowers which also appear in the video.
The video has only been up for six years
it was nominated for a VMA for best cinematography in 2005...before youtube videos were played on TV.
Grace Thomas yea good news for people who love bad news came out in 2005
Grace Thomas dame I had to look at my cd lol
Not sure bout the video but this song is about his dad dying. Very sad
It was a helpful piece of art that helped me deal with the pain of losing my little sister. I should explain also that she and I were battling Multiple sclerosis and we both were in pain, I just could not leave and need to keep positive for my kids. Now my kids are grown, the pain in worse, but I am determined to keep the world filled with positive energy and enjoy what is left of my life.
Patricia Petersen Do yourself a huge favor and do research on CBD oil called Charlottes web. It will improve your quality of life....I realize this was 3 years ago and I hope you are well. ♥️
Oma ni peme hung hri
Giving_Teh_Beast very nice of you
she probably is by now. she hasnt liked anything in 3 years. rip
@@ClassicSternFan I hope you one day feel like the lowest piece of dirt for saying that.
My first modest mouse album was the moon & Antarctica. My little brother and I would hang out and just sit in silence playing on our gameboys listening to the album. When good news for people who love bad news came out we ran to the store and bought it and listened to it over and over like the other one lol. We especially loved this song.
When my brother had a traumatic brain injury and almost died and was in a coma for 3 weeks those two albums were the only things I could listen to that would bring me any comfort because it reminded me of the good times we had together. I would listen to them on my car CD player to and from the hospital every day when I went to visit him. Thank god he made it. I hope someday we can go see a modest mouse concert together. That would be awesome.
I saw modest mouse on 6.17.2023 and despite the changes in lineup and loss of Jeremiah, it was an amazing show. 19 song setlist including encore. They played the same venue one year prior and Jeremiah was still with us, but I missed that one. Definitely wasn't going to miss a second chance.
I've had 8 brain surgeries and don't do many concerts due to migraines and fear of having another seizure, but it was more than worthwhile. I hope your brother recovers well enough to be able to go to a show someday. They're still touring like crazy and sound incredible.
One of my favorite videoclips. I love the bitter weirdness of the kid hallucinating dying animals are his friends. Friendship be like that, sometimes.
"You wasted life why wouldn't you waste the afterlife" is probably one of my most favourite MM lyrics. It's good food for thought!
This is one of the most polite comment sections I've ever seen. Scrolled through three threads and so far have not witnessed hate.
Well, that was short-lived
Modest Mouse will do that lol
Adam Dorsheimer your very correct! I hope you have a great day😊.
Srank Finatra please take that somewhere else. He didn’t even say anything to you.
@@granthoyer7136 I think it was a joke. Pretty sure he doesn't actually think Adam is dumb.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, don't think so
[Chorus 1]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile
[Verse 2]
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
Well I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I hope so
[Chorus 1]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile
[Bridge]
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw, and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
(You missed)
When the Earth folded in on itself (You missed)
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope Heaven and Hell
(You missed, you missed)
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
[Verse 3]
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
Well, I don't mind, I don't mind
How the hell could I mind?
[Chorus 2]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
I was in elementary listening to this band it’s 2020 now I’m holding my 4 month old daughter while she sleeps appreciating all has life has given me. Hope you find happiness in yours ✊🏾
I just find it amusing that their best known song, Float On, is so optimistic; all about how even though bad things happen, but the good things happen to balance out the bad and everything will work out okay. Then the rest of their discography talks about how the world is a cold, unfeeling place that doesn't give two shits about your happiness.
And we’ll all float on alright
A kid playing catch with a scarecrow is some powerful imagery.
Modest Mouse was my friend's favorite band. He had the hot air balloon album art tattooed on his arm. He killed himself around 3 years ago. I always think of him when I listen to MM.
R.I.P Ryan, all your friends and family love and miss you everyday.
PS: Anyone reading this, tell your friends and loved ones that you love them.
Weird moment, I was just thinking of getting an MM tattoo. The balloon came up in my searches. I'm sure he was as beautiful as the album art, I'm sorry for your loss.
I plan to be here a long long time out of pure spite, but i wish i heard those words more often you know?
@@wallybonejengles5595 I'm glad you're still here, and as one human to another I have love for you. I wish you, and everyone else who needs to hear words of love, heard them more often too.
@@kevindavidson8281 Thank you for your words. Myself and a friend of mine have both had dreams of him that have, signaled that he is at peace. One dream I had about him, his arm was broken, but he told us he was moving to the mountains and that he was going to be okay. The overall mood was hopeful. Irl his ashes were sprinkled in the mountains so, at least I know he remains in a forest he loves very deeply. The balloon is a good tat for sure.
This song and their song dashboard has helped me in my times more than more can fathom, like isaac says. You wasted life why wouldn't you waste the afterlife. This song has helped me try to make an impact on life and now waste what was givin to me. I am sorry for your loss I do know how it feels personally throw friends of my own and regardless I'm sure they are not wasting away their afterlife
This takes me back to the fall of 2006. Winter break was starting at school, and my friend introduced me to this song and I would listen to it each afternoon leading into the summer of 07.
Good times...
RIP Jeremiah Green (MM Drummer). Thank you for all of the Beautiful music you gave us -- that was the perfect accompaniment to long solo road trips; random Saturday mornings in bed. You are a genius for forming one of the Greatest and most under-rated Bands of all time. - One of your biggest Fans from TX
Waste death
This song makes me think of my younger brother, passed away a few years ago at the age of 45. He loved to fish, esp. ocean fishing. Always shared his catch with me; I'm not a fisherman. So this song hits hard: The ocean breathes salty. RIP Jeff.
This is one of the only songs and videos that can make me cry when I watch it. I know what I’m about to say isn’t the what the song or video was trying to say. But the moment that he wakes up and the crow is alive and opens its arms to him, that plus the music kicking in makes me think about what it would be like if when you did die - you actually did get to be reunited with the people and animals you loved who had died in your life. But then, moments later in the video it shows him waking up and the crow is still dead. And then that has always brought me the feeling that it also might be that everybody you see go is actually gone. And we should treat each other as such.
loved your comment on this and totally think the same
Once I realized that boy lost his dad (and presumptive his only friend) and is trying to make friends with animals who keep dying...made this grown ass man cry 😢
at 2:28 when he opens the box and Isaac waves i laughed so hard but then remembered how sad this song was
Modest Mouse is to blame for my philosophical journey's beginning. let's face it, a highly artistic band.
Agreed. Love em'
absolutely the same for me. This band was mind expansive for me. A decade and a half later i'm finding they still have much to teach me.
Same :)
youve described them perfectly
God!!! I found Issac when I was uhh 14? Right after watching my dad die.. they helped me and sent me on a journey I could never really explain. Listen to all their stuff still and love the new things they come to! Forever all time favorite band ever (sorry Zep I got to live with these guys growing up and grow with them)
Modest Mouse: Always a downer in an uplifting way, somehow...
RIP Jeremiah Green. I just heard of his passing, and had to give another listen to some of my favorite songs by these guys.
Doing the same right now. The guy sure played a mean beat huh?
Damn… puts living on this fucked up rock we call Earth in perspective don’t it.
@@PJL7095 It sure does
My friend died of cervical cancer back in May. She would have been 34 as of June 17th. This song really makes me think of her.
I'm sorry 😞
This song got me through a VERY hard time in my life.
+J.R. Miller Me too, man. I've had this album since I was 10 or 12 years old. It's beautiful
I remember back in the day "float on" would get played multiple times during the day on MTV and fuse, but this one only tended to pop up really late at night. I don't think I'd like this song nearly as much without those nights of having to see this video multiple times to assure myself it wasn't a weird dream.
Modest Mouse = One of top ten most underrated rock bands of alltime!
the analogies are amazing. the lyrics are spectacular. I wish more people had talent like this. true use of a gifting here
couldn't agree more with you!
ever heard of lucid rivers? you might like them
I love modest mouse
which kind of analogies?
I miss you, Dad ❤️
Hope you're doing alright. I've been there.
hello tmrw I feel the same way. My dad loved Modest Mouse so I ended up growing up on this stuff
Also my first thought when I saw the kid playing catch with the scarecrow.
@@ericjohnson6634 why, may I ask?
,dan'
Te quiero, Papi!
Still love this song!
DEF, between this & part 2 of float on as "The World At LARGE" are both GEMS....
@@ReganMarcelis Right tho? Bigger question ask tho. Why wouldn't we be tho??? ( maybe that' s the bigger ask)
Now this song reminds me of my guinea pig, who I witnessed pass away right in front of me. It wasn't easy, and a lot of everyday life still reminds me of her. It hurts a lot, and I doubt it will get to a point where it won't hurt anymore. But there's a tiny bit of closure in listening to this song over and over.
This masterpiece only has 7.5 million views and other shit has 100M... UNDERRATED SONG BY MODEST MOUSE
gfrp enjoy your life.
Yeah I was just watching a video for a bruno mars song and it has 90 millions views so unfair
why would you want this to have hundreds of millions of views
Bruh you realize most modest mouse songs have less than like a 100,000 views some have practically. Nothing
being that modest mouse is from the 90’s, most people don’t need CZcams to listen to a band they have on a cd or vinyl.
Best band to ever grace this planet
Couldnt agree more.
You know the feeling when something speaks to your soul? I'm feeling that.
“When the earth folded in on itself and said "good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there
But I wouldn't hold my breath"
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?”
Good lord man who comes up with lyrics like that..
such a gorgeous song
Modest Mouse is a great Indie rock band. I love just about everything they have done. :)
My favorite band of all time.
My best friend Tommy introduce me to Modest Mouse. He took his life back in early 2008. I cry everytime I listen to Dramamine & The world at large bkuz those were his favorite songs. Float On Gets to me also bkuz I feel like if he could have just held on longer, he would have been able to just Float On....
Rest In Peace Tommy..
I Love You Bro..
Rest In Peace Jeremiah Green, you were taken from us too soon. ❤
nope, i cant watch it without tears
whoever doesn't bang their head and start singing "WELL THAT IS THAT AND THIS IS THIS..." with so many emotions, i don't even know
so true
Agreed
I want to like it. Nope. Sounds messy and wannabe. Nothing redeemable
my old roommate, that's who.
*YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT AND I'LL TELL YOU WHAT YOU GET*
this brings me back to completely being in the moment with this song blasting in my teenager bedroom, with the windows open and fresh air flowing in..hearing and feeling every part of the song move through my soul. i could tear up from the nostalgia, and i still get the same feeling..
Same :)
I can't stop crying after listening and watching this video
This song is fucking beautiful
I always thought the instrumentals of this song had a magical quality to it- it captures the essence of the ocean and it intoxicates
me from start to finish every time.
Strong feelings build up when i watch this
Still my favorite band after all these years.
Absolutely love these guys they were so original remember watching the float on video on MTV for the first time and just saying yes please, I was hooked & like 12
Beautiful songwriting.
These guys have become one of my favorite bands!
Josh Leone (correction) *favorite band
Says Russel from Gorillaz. Is this what you've been doing when you became a giant???
CrossingArrows I've found an affinity with rock and soul type stuff
R.I.P Jeremiah green you will be missed!
been listening to this band and especially this song and "dramamine" since I was young. they hold a special place in my heart. this band had a sound like no other.
Me and you Nick cruising to this with a fresh j and a fresh outlook on life. You passed on too soon my friend. Its been 17 years now and you still bring a tear to my eyes friend. Thanks for making the good ol days the good ol days. Until the day we meet again on the other side.
RIP Jeremy (Jeremiah) Green. my friend and i got to see them live at the filmore in NC. my buddy had bought a Modest Mouse skateboard deck off of Jermy (as isaac called him) 's brother, and hooked us up with meeting him before the show. we met him, awesome dude, very down to earth. after chatting for a while of chatting he went back to get ready for the show. talked with isaac for a good bit that night, talked to him about how we met Jermy and he asked why he didnt invite us back with him, i spoke up and said "cuz we didnt ask". isaac looked at me and with an agreeing tone said "yeah that sounds about right. all you had to do was say suomethin" and just like that we coulda had a friend. the news hurts.
Sometimes you just have to feel your way through things
Rest In Peace the amazing and inspiring Jeremiah Greene, you did not waste life, and you will not waste death. Our hearts go out to all and we love you 3:49
This song reminds of the childhood I never got to have and then makes me miss it... Like those people that are heartbroken because they've never been in a relationship m.
im those people,
I'm 24 and never been in a relationship
This song always speaks directly to my soul. I have no idea why, but I'm not arguing with it.
This song always gives my consciousness.......one great big breath of fresh air.......and life is always.....complicated....
I was introduced to modest mouse when my dad bought me a big screen t v for my birthday shortly after being let go from rehab, man,...... ocean breaths salty was a banger!!!
This music video will never not make me cry
This song holds a place in my heart that can't exactly explsin why. Kinda of feel how the little boys life plays out like much how mine did growing up. Not having a father figure an really no faith to put into anything.
This was the song that made me love Modest Mouse as a band. Float On was ok but this was what made me buy the album and then buy every single else about that they made up to this point in 2004. I'm glad they did this as a single as I probably wouldn't have given the album any time of day to listen to.
This song really helped me contextualise my feelings when my partner killed herself. GG, Modest Mouse. I owe ya one.
most beautiful song at the right moment...keep going you wonderful people.
I heard this on the radio today and wondered if there was a music video for it.
I'm glad there is. This one really tugs at the heartstrings.
I wish MTV Classic would play this one more often, but the only thing of Modest Mouse that ever plays on there is "Float On"
"time and life shook hands and said goodbye"
i love this line quite a bit.
My parents used to listen to this song all the time when I was young and I never liked it that much. The month I turned 18 my father decided to leave our family in the middle of the night. I know our family wasn't perfect, but I hate the way it fell apart. It's been almost 9 months and I still don't know how to feel about all of it. This song brings back memories of joy and youth that i'll never forget, I love you mom and dad.
This song was part of my childhood. I used to hate it. Now I love it. It takes me to a better place, sort of like a Pink Floyd song, but not quite as trippy. Still kind of trippy though.
More people need to make music like this.
Aflay Could not have said it better man
Aflay Try Real Estate's most recent LP; "Atlas". Not quite reminiscent of this but it's very crystalline like Pink Floyd.
This song is so touching and sad... the first sentences make my eyes watery :,-/
What a tragedy it is, living and knowing time passes by, we won´t get to live again, we´ll loose those who we love and they will some day loose us.
this is the most slept on song of all time
this album is litterally a gem i love it it just feel so real
you missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
i went through a period where i had this song perpetually stuck in my head
Violet Maxwell same, so much same
The empathetic effort transcends throughout the universe regardless of the result of ones actions
IMO, one of the best songs/videos ever made. That disc had many great songs!
Your body may be gone, I'm gonna carry you in
In my head, in my heart, in my soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both live again
Well, I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, don't think so
[Chorus 1]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile
[Verse 2]
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
And maybe we'll get lucky and we'll both grow old
Well I don't know, I don't know
I don't know, I hope so
[Chorus 1]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Collected my belongings and I left the jail
Well, thanks for the time, I needed to think a spell
I had to think awhile, I had to think awhile
[Bridge]
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw, and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
You missed when time and life shook hands and said goodbye
(You missed)
When the Earth folded in on itself (You missed)
And said "Good luck, for your sake I hope Heaven and Hell
(You missed, you missed)
Are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath"
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
(You missed, you missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste death?
[Verse 3]
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in?
In your head, in your mouth, in your soul
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind
Well, I don't mind, I don't mind
How the hell could I mind?
[Chorus 2]
Well, that is that and this is this
You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get
You get away from me, you get away from me
Well, that is that and this is this
Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed
When the ocean met the sky (You missed)
You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
Thank you!!
Thanks
that little boy is so adorable!
reminds me when I was a kid: (
The more we move ahead, the more we're stuck in rewind...
I think that lyric means that the further in life we get, the more we reminisce, romanticize and miss the past... whether it be a simpler time in life, being a kid again, a time before we lost a loved one...I think a lot of our present moment is wasted on thinking about the past and then before you know it, you're old and gray, wondering where all the time went and why you didn't spend your younger years living in the present moment...
I like to think the boy is now in school for veterinary medicine. He'd be about the right age for it now.
I've always loved Modest Mouse' (songs & ) lyrics -- they are exactly what I think, and feel. Thanks MM. x
I saw them last night - they were AMAZING!!!! I can't wait to see them live again - I had no idea they rocked so hard! They didn't play any popular songs - but I loved them all. Now, listening to this - crying so much - such a beautiful song
I was jamming out to this in 6th grade along with franz ferdinand. Now what band do you think I stuck with.
I don't know, I'm still stuck with both. Can't really compare them.
Neither, you chose “the bravery”

I've never been so alienated in my entire 43 years on this planet Earh
hearing of Jeremiah's passing just feels so unreal

This video always gets me years after MTV, FUSE, and VH1 replays.
one of the many songs that can evoke specific kinds of emotions from each different song from different bands and different genres..this song is one of it 🙂
