What is going on my mates
Today we will be discussing Modern Baseball's swan song also known as Holy Ghost. Released on May 13th, 2016 via Run For Cover Records, Holy Ghost unknowingly marked the end of Modern Baseball's career.
Holy Ghost is a lot darker than their previous material, but it feels like a very natural progression; as you grow older and life starts to happen, as sad as it may sound, things do begin to get darker. Family members pass away, your mental health may deteriorate, and you're left to figure all that out yourself.
Jake Ewald, Brendan Lukens, Ian Farmer, and Sean Huber created one heck of a band that will be loved and cherished for years to come.
Thank you for supporting this series, I had way too much fun making it.
Songs to check out from Holy Ghost :
- Holy Ghost
- Wedding Singer
- Note To Self
- Mass
- Everyday
- Hiding
- Coding These To Lukens
- Breathing In Stereo
- Apple Cider, I Don't Mind
- What If...
- Just Another Face
Wait.. I think that's all of them actually. Just go listen to the whole album
Best,
Nate
And now.. it's time for the feature presentation you've been waiting for: Modern Baseball's Swan Song

top 3 songs off Holy Ghost?
Wedding Singer, Everyday, Just Another Face
Just Another Face, Coding These To Lukens, and Everyday
@@JC-hv4rh wedding singer, note to self, and holy ghost
@@JC-hv4rh good picks
@@JosephSampson props on everyday. feel like that one is so overlooked
I think it's beautiful how one of their earliest songs has a chorus that says "she's not just another face" and the last song they ever released on an album has a chorus that says "I'm not just another face." It seems like over the years he grew to find his own worth. I fucking love modern baseball.
It is insane that this band wrote the songs they did so young.
absolutely! blows my mind to this day
I hope modern baseball watches this series one day so badly because it's just so good
Mobo tried to rid the scene of sadness as an aesthetic.
Real Friends... well, you know.
I didn't wanna.. u know.. name any names. But I love Kyle, Dan, Brian, Eric, and Dave; great people.
I looooove real friends but i do get what you mean i dont think theyre trying to make sadness an aesthetic but more like mainstream people found their music when rap was making sad an aesthetic and the mainstream people where like “woah this is so cool this is what actual sad people listen to” and then kinda just used real friends to look cool. Its kinda the same thing that happened to Pink Floyd, people think theyre cool for listening to music like ours so they buy shirts and listen to the most popular songs they have. Yes most of real friends songs are sad and stuff but i feel like its more to help people who are going through things. To give people someone to relate to, to have someone express their thoughts when we cant, and to teach us how to cope. Tho most of their songs are sad they do also sing ab forgetting, moving on, accepting you for you.
some people cope irresponsibly, what are we to do ;p
become #cancelculture
(jking btw lul)
Modern baseball got me through a really dark place in my life. I started listening to them in 2013 after my grandfather passed away from cancer. I would just feel like I had no one who understood what I was going through and that I was alone even though I had people who cared for me. I was suicidal but hid it well. I feel like my dad knew something was up bc he’d hear me listening to my emo music and ask me if I was ok and then always tell me he wouldn’t know what would happen if he lost me. Those moments and the lyrics of Jake and Brendan helped me get through it. I still have bad days, weeks and months, but I put on some pop punk and emo indie and remember I’m not alone.
this was awesome to read. thank you for posting this Joshua, little stories like this make me so happy. Have an outstanding night
Nate The Mate thank you for making this series. It means a lot.
bro, I'm glad you made it out of that dark time. I went through exactly the same as you in in 2017. I remember getting the news and driving to the hospital playing 'Everyday' out loud with tears streaming down my face. Mobo and Holy Ghost saved me and I'll never forget it
DM Punk everyday is a great one to get you through dark times. Reminds you that you’re not the only one
just another face is definitely my favorite and go to song on this album
I felt so alone and depress when this album come out and I remember hearing the singles and I knew this album was gonna be different from their past two albums in a great way
then listening to the whole album I couldn't stop crying after the first song
then at the end, Just Another Face hits hard and I felt so connected to the song
Same
I don't even know how many times this song has broken me
Wedding Singer is so underrated in modern baseball's catalogue
Arguably best mobo song
I can't wait for the slaughter beach, dog video, they've easily been my favorite band, at least that isn't split up, for the past few months now
i LOVE THEM
@@NateTheMateForever same, dawg and real annie definitely need to be released, also are you gonna do a video on their whole discography like you're doing for mobo or just safe and also no fear?
These videos have been awesome. I love Mobo and listening to your analysis of each album just made me love the songs even more; getting an insight into each song, hearing its backstory and other things I never knew. Keep up the great work
Thank you so much for making these videos, they help people like me understand even more of my favourite band.
When the singles and album came out, id just listen to them on repeat for days. I watched the documentary two times in a row from the second it came out.
I'm really glad you made this trilogy and I'm glad to have learned so much more about the band and their music. Thank you.
Looking forward to The Perfect Cast EP! Great video, by the way
Thank you so much for making this series. I’ve cried so much watching it because I just love this band so incredibly much and I’m so happy to find someone on my favorite platform to make content paying homage to their legacy. Please don’t ever stop. ❤️
this album dropped at a really important time of my life: I was a senior in high school and recovering from a really scary depressive episode and growing up. the lyrics and songwriting really hit me hard. I never really paid attention to how the album art had mormons, I grew up mormon lol. this album saved my life, not even kidding.
Thank you so much for this, Nate. Holy Ghost is that album that’s been with me when no one else has. It’s something I can listen to whenever and it always helps. This video meant a lot and I’m excited to see what’s to come.
I saw mobo in 2016 when they were opening for brand new. I feel so lucky that I could see them perform some songs from holy ghost
Yo man, thank you for making these. Can't explain how much it means to me to watch these, but I think this platform you've created brings together a community of people who feel the same way. Cheers homie.
Beautiful stuff man, gone but not forgotten. Whatever, forever...
I think this is my favorite album of all time.
Thank you for this trilogy, Nate!
5794 S Redwood Rd, Taylorsville, UT 84123 was where the album art was taken!! also, nice video!!
I remember the day it dropped, my friend and I were out disc golfing, and we played the album like 5 times in a row.
Iv been waiting for this all week ☺☺
One of my favorite albums of all time. I love this video ❤️
thank YOU
Man, I've been watching your videos from time to time, and I didn't know you were bracelegs collective. Loved your pins and patches.
You should do a video of their B-sides records :) , love the video Nate!
The first tour they did for this album was amazing! Modern Baseball and Joyce Manor with Thin Lips. One of the best shows and best tours I have ever gone to!
You did MOBO well with this. Keep it up man ❤
I think their first two albums are great, but I think Holy Ghost represents their first start-to-finish masterpiece. The maturity and brevity shown on the album make it one of my favourites
You're my favorite youtube channel now. Fucking amazing videos dude, thank you
Freakin' amazing video! Maybe a video on The Nameless Ranger or Couples Therapy next? 🤔
These were great Modern baseball video, It was a good reminder why I valued this band so much.
thank you!
@@NateTheMateForever no need to thank me dude. Thank yourself, can tell the love for this band and t ghe time spent making these videos
Honestly The Perfect cast is my favorite stuff by them and probably some of their most emotional stuff
Thanks Nate great video!
i miss this band so much. they are the sound of my college days
its crazy that this album is now fueling my, a freshman in college's, days. its really timeless
Looking forward to the Slaughter Beach Dog stuff! I would love a whole video on Birdie
So nate when u visiting the uk, another great vid cant wait for more
Loved these videos :))
It's been a while since I've seen you in my feed Nate, but amazing video my man.
thank you wyatt! i missed seeing your comments. have a great sunday
@@NateTheMateForever congrats on the growth my dude you hella deserve it. I also really like that you're branching out, if you ever feel like branching out even more you should totally do it all it can do is open you up to a wider audience, also I feel like a non-music related Nate video would also be pretty interesting.
I remember being at that show from the first clip, it was at the Vintage Vinyl record store in NJ, and little did I know that was the last time I would ever be able to see them play
jersey represent
that's incredible. i'm sure it was a great show?
This album has always giving me similar feelings to in the Aeroplane over the sea and I love it
I now want a modern baseball philly sadboys shirt. Thanks Nate
i'd love a vid on Hotelier Home Like Noplace is There, that could be really good
Just gotten into punk recently and modern baseball gotta be my favorite
gimme the slaughter beach dog 👁👄👁
also i love these mobo videos, thank you for making them. :)
Hiding has always been my favorite off the album but they all are great
I didn’t know MoBo had broken up and stopped touring. I’ve seen them live twice and by far my live band. Their sound is very unique
aren't they just the greatest? very well-rounded dudes
surprised that you didnt talk about how Just Another Face is a deliberate reference to their first song "How Do I Tell A Girl I Want To Kiss Her"
"how do I tell a girl..." isn't their first song, it's not even a modern baseball song. It's from brendon's solo project.
@@seth7501 iirc it is Brendans first song, so the theory still works
I know where that place is in Utah. It’s right next to a Guitar Center and a JoAnn’s. It’s in a place called Taylorsville. Unfortunately that seagull book and the shopko next to it shut down..
Man, I know one of the things that helped them write this album. Listened to a bit of The Weakerthans. If you're going to draw influence from a band, that's a good one to draw from. This is a great album. Can't believe it took me this long to find it. I guess that's what happens when you get old lol.
Cool that ur so passionate about bands like this, but if you could make videos not solely focused on a band or one of their albums. I enjoy those videos a bit, but I would like to see a creative venture, maybe something out of your comfort zone
first off, thank you so much. and could you expand on what you mean a bit? totally open to that, and always looking to push myself out of my comfort zone. looking forward to hearing back
Applecider I dont mind into what if... is one of my favorite modern baseball moments. I saw them for the last time on my 21st birthday, they played apple cider but not right into what if and I was pretty salty tbh
Every time I write lyrics, I imagine your voice reading them word by word so I can decide if they’re good enough lol.
I miss this band so much, I wish Brendon would go off and do his own thing the same way Jake has :(
Great series, thank you for making it. I have a question for you, Nate! The text on Best Buds is slightly fuzzy and out of focus, which is something I didn't realize until I bought it on vinyl. I think it was intentional and reflects the nature of the album. Do you agree, or do you think it was just a messed up design resolution choice?
This is my favourite album of all time
Hey, this is kinda related to Mobo but can you do a similar series on Sorority Noise? Cam and Brenden were/are friends and Brenden was even featured on their sophomore album “Joy Departed”
Thanks Man. Love the content!!
Glen Nevling I actually plan on it! I love SN so much man, very few bands accurately portray what it feels like to be depressed/anxious.
I believe Bren is featured on “Corrigan” and Jake is featured on “Art School Wannabe”
The part where he says “here’s the thing, I’m doin fine” that’s Jake haha
I really wish they would get back together just for a short tour ;-; i wanna see them live :(
I think Modern Baseball will come back someday down the road. Not any time the next few years, but their reunion will be like any other band that took a significant hiatus.
That brockhampton reference at the beginning lmao that's great
Can you talk about Face Down by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for your next video?
that's a good idea, i'll have to do a vid on that soon
YOOO that song is a classic!
for some reason i randomly started crying a small bit after i read the part about Brendan going onto a rooftop
@NateTheMateForever Ik I’m late, but would you somehow know what camcorder they are using in the album? Thank you for making this video. It gave me more insight on this album.
Thank you Nate
Thank you mate 😌
love u owen the mate
Thanks Nate!
no, thank u Jinzo!
Best video series for an under rated band. Loved it! Stay awesome!
I live right behind that Seagull Book and drive past it every day when I go to the gym so I literally can't go a day without thinking of MoBo lol
Still miss them
Jake's voice in the Holy Ghost opener really sounds like Brian from TFB, or maybe I've just listed to TFB way too much
Loved the video Nate
I love note to self so much ;-;
id like to here you’re take on this, but I believe that he wrote Hiding after Brendan. the lines “my straight line shooter” and “amass the coins to displace debt to you” make me think this way. Brendan was in a place that jake absolutely didn’t understand, stealing funds from the band to fuel his addiction, really really low. Listening to the drop, it sounds like a conversation between him and Brendan more than anything, calling about his future, wanting to repair everything. “With floral sutures”
are you hiding or have I abandoned you?
let me LEARN HERE, I AM IN PURSUIT
OF ALL I CAN UNDO.
idk man, i think its really about him. I really want to hear you’re take on this!!!let me know what you think please!!!!!
I love the 199X Brockhampton and Mobo pic
What about a video on Techniques?!
What you serious they not doin more music.... one of my fave bands right now.
..and I’m crying again
Modern baseball and sorority noise radiate the same energy but are pretty different
Do a video on basement plssss
you should do a vid on the perfect cast ep
just finished the video i feel like an idiot now
i love you
Nate The Mate love u more
14:15 The thing is is they didn’t HAVE to tour 😭
Wait, you’re trying to tell me Bart to the future Part 2 The Musical I S N T their ultimate swan song??????
Please do more comprehensive videos like these
for sure. any recommendations?
@@NateTheMateForever You already mentioned Slaughter Beach, Dog at the end of the vid but maybe like Pinegrove, or Oso Oso or Mom Jean's or something
I'm still surprised theirs a Needle Drop review of Remo Drive
And The Wonder Years, but he really does not like Soupy
@@Dylan-fv4ve ikr Who could ever hate Soupy??
The ABacross the guys in Remo paid him, it will come out soon
This is not their last album, they're coming back they have to come back, please tell me they're coming back
However if this IS their last album I'm happy with it, this album, specially Brendan's part hits me so fuckin hard, it helped me so much during hard times, I love this album more than my own life
Thoughts on the front bottoms?
Ethan Johnson he should definitely do a video on them, i love TFB.
Been listening to them a long ass time.
Do tigers jaw
ah the album that got me into MoBo, thanks to anthony fantano. what an album.
EDIT: I ugly cried to Just Another Face a few times. song is actually just the best.
shout out fantano!!!
Thoughts on Seahaven ?
DaCowrs McDolan Amazing
I hope so bad he does a video on them, I miss them so much
So you could say they are our holy ghost
I feel like they must have listened to the album “Left and Leaving” by the Weakerthans a lot.
Well... seems like the influence is there for the first half of the album.
Yeah, Jake is REALLY into the Weakerthans haha
Pleeeeeease make a video on the perfect cast
Nice office space reference
thank you! love that movie
Fantasgasm.
YES DAD I LOVE YOU
Reunion tour 2022?
my ex girlfriend and i's song was hiding. every single part of the song makes me think of her, still. i cant think there will be another song that gives me the guttural, visceral reaction that hiding does
Goddamn i feel terrible
do a video on hockey dad or slowly slowly
missed opportunity to title the video " how modern baseball wrote the holy 'holy ghost' "
Now do the eps
