  • Interstate 8
    Modest Mouse
    Spent 18 hours waiting stoned for space
    I spent the same 18 hours in the same damn place
    I'm on a road shaped like a figure 8
    I'm going nowhere but i'm guaranteed to be late
    You go out like a riptide
    You know a ball has no sides
    You're an angel with an amber halo
    Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
    Wind-up anger with the endless view of
    The ground's colorful patchwork
    How have you been?
    How have you been?
    How have you?
    How have you?
    I drove around for hours, I drove around for days
    i drove around for months and years and never went no place
    The overpass, the underpass
    I stopped for gas, but where could place be (?)*
    To pay for gas to drive around
    Around the Interstate 8
    You go out like a riptide
    You know a ball has no sides
    You're an angel with an amber halo
    Black hair and the devil's pitchfork
    Wind-up anger with the endless view of
    The ground's colorful patchwork
    How have you been?
    How have you been?
    How have you?
    How have you?
    *This line makes no sense to me, but it's the consensus of the online community.

    You make a legitimate case for lyrics videos as an art form in and of itself. Nothing is better than the Modest Mouser notification!

    I'll be honest, I really really dig and miss the sound of the lady doing back-up vocals on some of these older songs. I believe it was Eric Judy's wife at the time? She just fit so well and provided a very dreamy quality to whichever track she was on. I think Isaac's vocals do well when paired with a much more conventional 'pretty' voice. It's a juxtaposition that's constructive, imo.

    It's amazing how you have the ability to take stock footage and assemble it into something that fits the mood of the song so well; it's truly beautiful. Your videos are a masterpiece.

    This was the final song I ever was fortunate enough to witness Jeremiah Green play live. Just over a month ago in Vancouver on the LCW 25th anniversary tour. RIP Jeremiah =(

    This song.. well really this whole album. Will always a hold very special place in my heart. It will always remind me of taking a ferry and driving to the Washington coast by myself to go camping. The drums and guitar on this track remind me of the crashing waves, the rolling tires, the open highway. Hope it doesn't sound too cheesy but it's just how I feel.

    "Overpass, underpass, I stopped for gas at where's the place? To pay for gas to drive around, around the interstate 8." I always thought it was a sentence interrupted by a thought - a guy thinking about where he's going, trying to drive and retrace his steps while figuring out the path to his destination "There's the overpass, the underpass. I stopped for gas at... wait where was that place?" That sort of thing.
