Oh! It would've been, could've been
Worse than it had even gone
Well, the car was on blocks
But I was already where I want
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
#ModestMouse #Dashboard #OfficialHDVideo #Remastered - Hudba
these mid-00s music videos are a lost art. massive, surreal, effects-heavy (but it works) short films in their own right
Well spoken just a general wild time for both music and music videos such a wide creative movement that mostly makes no sense but that just makes it that much more amazing
well, you can thank Michael Jackson for that because it was Thriller raised the bar for music videos & everybody had to step up
Pretty much every MM video is surreal
I miss this being the new looking format.
What if they really are down there?
Rip Jeremiah. I've always loved the way the drums hit in modest mouse. Truly epic.
I didn't know modest mouse was no more
@@MilehighClub-yr6hiit is still a band.. the drummer died and everyone's upset
Bogus.. that kill a7x
@@adaminwonderland7149 man yeah. also i was at sonnys last show at warped tour when his throat got f*ed
I had no idea. Now I’m sad. These guys were one of my favorite bands in high school
I find the lead singer's ability to constantly change his tone in unexpected ways throughout the song super interesting. If you try to sing along yourself with the lyrics right in front of you it's quite difficult. Also, I love how Modest Mouse changes the "main chorus" which makes the entire song lyrically unique and unexpected on first listens.

@@toddburmester2489 yeah sure buddy
End hell war I just will you're about to lose trillions of fallen angels. Put your pinky guns up at My Kingdom - So long as you don't attack. Keep talking *w*t
This is so true! This guy's music is entirely idiosyncratic in how much it sucks balls...
"You told me about nowhere, it sounds like some place I'd like to go." To me, like many other of their songs, this is lyrical gold.
and 'we were talking 'bout nothing which was more than I wanted you to know'
It seems like I only really heard him say this tonight, despite having been listening to this album since its release. Obviously I agree. Lyrical gold
Like a rickshaw getting pulled around by another rickshaw, you wasted life why wouldn't you waste death, we both got fired on exactly the same day but we were going to quit anyway, in that same vein of ore. The lonesome crowded west... good news for people who love bad news... what are some of your favorites?
"Should've been could've been worse than what you would ever know"
This song NEVER gets old.
It's to unique to get old.
Still hasn’t..my musical taste changes with the seasons, and this is always my banger for the fall.
It came out in 2007 when I was 6 and hasn't left my head since, absolute banger8
confirmo
Never.
so many commenting on how their friends and family don’t like Isaac’s voice. I love his voice. He conveys so much. I wouldn’t change a thing about this band!
that is fine. Not everyone can have good taste
He is quite weak vocalist, too much screaming
@redyossarian5820, Maybe that’s your personal preference to have less screaming in a song, and if this song is too much scream, then wow… but either way, screaming doesn’t imply anything about a singer being a weak vocalist, in fact I’d argue the opposite. Being able to control your voice and repeatedly recreate powerful screams for the duration of a song requires good control of your vocal chords to not absolutely shred them and destroy your voice from exhaustion.
He's not the strongest vocalist ....but who cares. What makes him great is NOBODY else sounds like him. He's unique.
And their videos are awesome.. 😆.
"What do you want to do for the music video, Isaac?"
"Call me Ishmael"
This song is an absolute masterpiece.
Yesssssss
Thanks to Johnny Marr! ; )
My favorite song by them. I have a play list of this an Ulysses by Franz Ferdinand, idk I feel like these two songs just go together. Play them all the time.
"Well the windshield was broken but I love the fresh air you know"
LOL this is exactly why I love modest mouse.
" Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want"
abridged to literally 'shengo'
nice flop of the tounge there kek
Morgan freeman.
Brandon Taylor Hahahaha
Brandon Taylor like you needed a reason 😂
Say what you will, but this is still one of my favorite Modest Mouse songs
Tis a damn fine song, and a fantastic metaphor for what is occurring to our species.
One of the best music videos of all time.
Completely agree
So good..

I love the message behind this one. Telling a story of great personal importance thats so outrageous that he is shrugged off and laughed at. then at the end, theirs another with the same experience to validate his story.
Yes i know, but, what story is behind his guitar-leg? 😄
It was less about validation and more emphasizing that it could have been worse.
@@RovizationArrr the bloody beast took his leg i tell ye!
R.I.P to the drummer. This is my favorite song still for years now.
The more I listen to this the more I'm like
"What even is this song"
So glad I grew up with it
So true, Brock's lyrics always sound like nonsense and it probably is. lol.
If you’re watching this in 2022 I think you’re a legend for keeping this music alive
always for the mouse
What can I say
Modern music has lost its passion,
Nowadays its either political beliefs being shoved in your face in a not so suttle way or
female rappers rapping about their private parts
Modest Mouse has a kind of passion today's music cannot seem to recapture, listening to 'we were dead' start to finish is like going on a magical adventure on a sailboat
All I can say is where did that all go?
Modest mouse is timeless
@@mattyfox_ stfu music back then was political (Johnny Cash, woody guthrie, literally the entire punk, & goth genre, rap to ragae and everywhere in between) hell even modest mouse is political it literally has songs about how we allow the world to burn for profit and mass corporations are corrupt with governments, how this system is inherently abusive and we bask on the reliability to find some next place or hope from someone else just so we can repeat the cycle. (Lampshades on fire, time walks in a box, we know, literally tons of their songs) and some female rappers might rap about their vaginas, just like male rappers talk about their dicks & fucking women, but there's also female rappers that talk about the beauty of life, that talk about their struggle, their passion, their love, just like there's that for male rappers. Today's music isn't dead or unable to recapture, you just haven't come out of your shell enough to find something you like. Learn not to judge books by its cover or to generalize an entire section of time.
2023, homie. This music keeps my best friend alive to me. He passed away in 2016.
Lyrics
Well, it would've been, could've been
Worse than you would ever know
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio
Oh, it should've been, could've been
Worse than you would ever know
Well, you told me about nowhere
Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go
Oh, it could've been, should've been
Worse than you would ever know
Well, the windshield was broken, but I love the fresh air y'know
(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)
Oh, it would've been, could've been
Worse than you would ever know, oh
(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)
Oh, we talked about nothing which was more than
I wanted you to know-oh-oh-oh-oh
Now here we go
Oh, It would've been, could've been
Worse than it had even gone
Well, the car was on blocks, but I was already where I want
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Why should we ever even, ever really even get to know
(It was impossible, we ran it good, we ran it good)
Oh, if the world don't like us
It'll shake us just like we were a co-oh-oh-oh-old
Now here we go
Well we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon
Every dawn you're surprising
And the evening was consoling saying
"See it wasn't quite as, bad as"
Well, it would've been, could've been
Worse than you would ever know
I was patiently erasing and recording the wrong episodes
After you had proved my point wrong
It wasn't like I'd let it go, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
I just wanted to catch the last laugh of this show
Yeah, it would've been, could've been
Worse than you would ever know.
Oh, the dashboard melted, but we still have the radio.
(The dashboard melted, but we ran it good, we ran it good)
Hard-wired to conceive so much we'd have to stow it
Even needs have needs, tiny giants made of tinier giants
Don't wear eyelids so
I don't miss the last laugh of this show
(The dashboard melted, but we still have the radio)
Oh, we could've been, should've been
Worse than you would ever know.
(The dashboard melted but we still have the radio)
Well, you told me about nowhere
Well, it sounds like someplace I'd like to go-oh-oh-oh-oh
Now here we go
Well we scheme, and we scheme, but we always blow it
We've yet to crash, but we still might as well enjoy it
Standing at a light switch to each east and west horizon
Every dawn you're surprising
And the evening was consoling saying
"See it wasn't quite as, bad as"
Oh, it would've been, could've been
Worse than you would ever know
Thank you kind soul
sick dude

"we've yet to crash, but we still might as well tow it"*
I introduced my 6 year old daughter to this epic song today. She watched it on loop for over 20 minutes during our drive to school. I’ve listened to this song on loop too... it’s nice to see my daughter has similar tastes in cool music! 😎👍
Yesssss my 5 year old knows it word for word. As I did as a child. Im 28😌
@@aleahamarr9996 Haha that’s awesome, Im 30 currently trying to have kids with the missus...
I hope my future children are as awesome as you guy’s kids are!
Could've played it on the stereo so she wasn't staring at a screen 🤷♀️
There's a certain feeling when someone binges a song you've loved.
I’m totally showing this to my 5 year old now. Thanks for the comment
just started listening to these guys and I am absolutely loving them
***** KROQ is awsome, Huntington beach is life

Your like 9 years late buddy.

Elnejo86 But better late than never.
"On the first night we (Marr and Isaac Brock) just set up two amps opposite each other and just got louder and louder and improvised. I just started playing 'Dashboard,' which I'd been playing a few weeks before and forgotten about. And he instantly started improvising the lyrics, which knocked me out. To see someone produce those lyrics just off the top of his head is amazing: I've never seen it done in such a way."
The horn section/underlying melodies in this song are so amazing. As time goes on you notice a different part playing.
This video looks like a Lovecraft tale and I completely love it.
This music video needs a feature length movie adaptation.
Featuring the Modest Mouse members as the actors. I would watch the movie in a heartbeat. 👌
Nakkid Frodo hell yeah lol. Crazier movies have happened.
Moby Dick meets Scott Pilgrim meets Tron?
Landon T That would be a bad movie name. How about... "Radio Silent"
Series of unfortunate events
This band writes songs that tell a story. Brilliantly done.
Didn't know Johnny Marr was the guitar player, no wonder it sounds so good.
I came here to hear Marr's guitar work
@@kenc.9067 same.
Marr's story about joining Modest Mouse and writing this song on the first night in town: czcams.com/video/QMLvtre39Zs/video.html
The best ❤️
I have listened to this band since I was 17 and in high school. Modest Mouse would carry me on into my day and night runs. It was so satisfying for my soul to finally see them live at a Lollapalooza after show at the age of 31.🥲🤍
Hear hear man. Same age, same event. Think we lucked out having modest mouse there for us growing up and all it's doing is aging like fine wine
As a Prosthetic Technician, i love this music video more than you would ever know
this gave me a good lol, nice one
i absolutely love this video
It's amazing😜😝😋😊😂😁😃😄😆😉
Bjons
your icon picture is creepy.
That is a weird picture my friend...
HotSauceBurritos a
A decade now, and this still is everything.
excuse me, a WHAT
Hey it is not from my decade. A girl I dated liked
Even older than that this song is from 2007
Well, I mean,
We've got everything.
One of the coolest guitar rifts and musicals to date.
He sounds like he's getting increasingly drunk as the song goes on... I love it
I just realized that too. Wow!
in that sense it's just like a modest mouse show
Spandan Banerjee ive been telling ppl that for as long as ive listened to them, good ear
i dont hear that... but the intensity of the song grows.... that's called progression....
Well I mean he is a sailor, In a bar. So I mean it makes sense
The ending where the captain just looks back at the guys and picks up his map. like "Told you sons of bitches."
lmao this comment is 4 years old but I love your name and pfp
RIP Jeremiah, your memory will live on for years to come.
*i have become fatally captivated by this guy. he looks like a mouse. i like the way he plays guitar. he drops some serious lines. he effects my heart and eyes. what are you? what sort of creature are you? isaac? well, whoever he is. i'm going to get even somehow.*
*xDDDD*
i cant tell if you're in love with isaac or want to murder him but good luck either way
This reminds me of that scene from Series of Unfortunate Events when count Olaf was disguised as a captain
Yeah.. that leech stuff.
Oh wow I was literally just thinking that exact same thing! How eerie
it suddenly makes sense why A Series of Unfortunate Events fans are also Modest Mouse fans.
same here
I knew I recognized something...
i swear he is a genius! the lyrics are magnificent. i admire this band so much. my all time favorite...for sure! the analogies are mind-boggling.
Checking in from 2021, yup the song is still good.
" music video with the singer on a ship at sea lost his hand "
That is how I found this music.
Lmfao
Lol genius
Literary professor?
I've tried sharing Modest Mouse with others and they say they don't like it because of the singer's voice but it just now dawned on me; the reason I like Modest Mouse so much is because his voice is being used as both a lyrical conveyor as well as an instrument rather than just the first. He chose a sound to fit the music and chose well.
At least that's the very opinionated philosophy I've developed on the subject.
I know I'm replying to a 2 year old comment, but I definitely agree with that, and it's one of the many reasons Modest Mouse is probably my favorite band.
It gives the music a totally different feeling that I have found nowhere else. Modest mouse is unique and awesome
Thumbs Up To Yeah Reply #GoingStrong
That's what drew me to them first, I liked his voice, and their style.
I know I'm replying to an old comment but that's one of the reasons I love modest mouse. If you break it down to just the lyrics they're not that fantastic or to the music itself is not great either but the combination is amazing.
man, i have REALLY started to love this band....
My roommate got me hooked on these guys. He's been talking about them for years and I finally have them a chance. Glad i did
This band reminds me of this road trip I had in 1999 or the year 2000 to Texas with my parents, 4 brothers, and 3 of my sisters, stopping at KOA camps, and exploring as many States as we could, all of us pulled into a 1996 white mini van because we lost our home, but we had $2,000 just to spend until we found somewhere new in Southern New Jersey. It was the greatest time in my life. Besides the 100's of times we had to pull over while driving up mountains because the van had too many people in it, and we kept on overheating. But if I could go back in time, I'd want to go on this trip with my family, meetings all kinds of people, seeing American Indians for the first time, and traveling down this one street that seemed to go on forever with no speed limit, with amazing green hills, that to this day the beauty I never forgot.
There's a song in there somewhere 🥰
i like how starting at 2:27 his missing hand switches from left to right.:D
Really, it switches from right to left, back to right. The fish originally bites off his right hand.
Fish bites right, switches to left at 'After you had proved my point wrong
It wasn't like I'd let it go' then back to right. Very intentional, in my opinion.
... but how did he hold the mops
"The Unreliable Narrator"
My favourite trope
That half wink gets me every time. Easily one of the best songs ever recorded and a video that makes me want to scream: "I'm old Gregg!" and reach for the Baileys.
I'm glad this song popped into my head when I woke up this morning.
I really don't know why this song popped into my head
Smoked some good weed with them, wanna score some train wreck
I remember listening to this alot in 2009 and 2010 when I was in 5th/6th grade. Now I'm 22 and still listening to it. Dashboard is a timeless song!
these dudes are so indie rock, they go against all indie mainstream and put a lil edm beat in there.... well played fellas, well played indeed
Bee Kaye Johnny Marrs the lead guitar player of course there amazing
@@ewan327 HOLY SHIT i never knew johnny marr was the guitarrist of modest mouse!
no wonder they rock so hard, the man is an absolute legend
@@basteagui just this album but I think he did pretty fucking good job tbh
454 people are missing their limbs.
_(But we still have the radio)_

This track still rocks hard in 2024!
If you love this band but can't get any of your friends to listen to it put your handa UUUp
my hand is up
Those aren't friends smh
My friends like em. ...not sure if that's okay cause it's not love
Meh...everyone will stand up for "Float On" but that's about it lol. Dramamine...Dashboard...nothing!!
Lol ur profile pic tho pmsl ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🐴
This was the beginning of modest mouse's venture from alternative rock to indie pop.
Finally seeing this guys this summer with Brand New. CAN'T WAIT!
+Molly M yay a twenty one pilots fan!!
Im FFS YESSSS :)
+Molly M AHAHAHAHAH
YOU WERE AT THAT CONCERT TOO?!
i had tickets but didnt get to go
This is still the greatest album in the history of music, IMO. Listening with a decent pair of headphones, giving your 100% attention to the music, instrumentals, and this guys PHENOMENAL ability to sing, no outside noise.... theres no better music-listening experience than this album right here. It makes me want to cry sometimes, from the pure joy it brings. These guys were so underrated its actually disgusting. Had the fortune of seeing them twice, and the '09 show may as well have been the single greatest night of my 29 years thus far...
Agree! I don't know if the GOAT, but its for sure one of my fav albums of all time, its a GREAT EXPERIENCE from begenning to end, to anyone reading this, give it a chance!
It’s not even modest mouse best album
Moon and Antarctica fits me better, personally. But it's not a bad album for sure.
Modest Mouse as a whole is amazing. I highly suggest checking out all of their stuff and not just their hits.
I'm pretty jaded about music videos, but this is amazing. only just heard about Modest Mouse through Johnny Marrs biography, looking forward to discovering more tracks by them.
RighteousBrother Marr's guitar is so damn great on this track
It reminds me a bit of "Easy Money", by the way
I think that's Johnny right there playing guitar.
The story in this Music Video is sooo interesting that I actually kinda want to find out more about it .
Mark Reyes MobyDick friend, just change the style of music to a "realist" set :3
It's pretty simple. The song is about perspective. The event that he lived through the video did not actually happen but instead are the one the people at the people imagine because of the way he is talking about it. In this video, Isaac actually lost his arm in a pretty boring way, but decides to make up a story to cover the real story which he might be "ashamed of". The more is goes on, the weirder it becomes for the people around the table until it becomes completly non-sense. At that point, they start to insult him and mock him but the barman (which has lost a limb to casual event too) comes around and agree with the story of Isaac because his perspective is the same as Isaac. Suddendly, everyone at the table doubt but in reality, Isaac treasure map is nothing but lies. But he chooses to believe it because it's not boring and it gives him a goal.
Mark Reyes same
Try reading Dagon by HP Lovecraft. Seriously.
Very good insight. Thank you for that. I love the song and the vid, that just puts everything in a different light.
I have loved this song for awhile, but after seeing the music video for the first time, I'm in love with the song.
The world keeps losing its wonderful drummers. RIP Jeremiah, 45 years old is WAY too early to have left us. 💔
Johnny Marr rocking it once again!
MY DASHBOARD MELTED WHEN MODEST MOUSE CAME ON THE RADIO!!!!!
cause this song is fire
But you still have the Radio...
sometimes that voice sounds so perfect to me that i cant envision what the singer could possibly look like and when i see him it doesnt make sense because my brain for some reason find it hard to connect such voices to mundane faces as though its a thing that actually exists beyond itself
Just goes to show you that looks shouldn't even matter when it comes to writing good music.
I got to see them live at edge fest 2015 and they played this. I cry-sang my heart out. This band means more than anyone could ever tell me otherwise
This band needs a lot of more subscribers Modest Mouse is amazing
I remember when this song first released and I saw the video on MuchMusic. My marriage was still whole, I still had all of my hair. Time, you utter wretch, what have you done to me?
but at least you still have the radio
smile on
On the flip side, this is the first day I've seen this, and I'm homeless but my life is looking up... Transitioning carma?
So many of their songs find that unmapped place in my soul, rare.
Decades later, still one of the best songs
So glad I decided to listen to this song again. Forgot how awesome the video and song were. This place needs to exist cause it looks awesome.
I would love to see it in a game or movie
Had no idea that they'd been around for 17 years before this song!
Well, they're they're modest!
I saw them in 98 when they had crappy gear and they blew my mind away. Do the cockroach dance is a good one of their earlier stuff on lonesome crowded west album.
Really is an amazing band. It's remarkable how relevant they manage to stay while still keeping out of the mainstream. They reinvented their sound on Good News and yet still somehow manage to stick to their signature sound (I suspect Isaac Brock's singing has a large part to do with this). Even their very poorly produced first album (I forget if Sad Sappy Sucker or Fruit that Ate Itself came first but they're both good and poorly produced) has great music on it.
I want this played at my funeral.
What I take from these lyrics and have learned in time is that perspective is the most important sense to try and keep hold of. Never mind sight or hearing, lose perspective and you'll lose everything, quickly...
So this is what George R. R. Martin does when he should be finishing the winds of winter
4 years and still relevant leave port GRRM
:,(
I know what it rhymes with and thank you for writing it for me.
Oh my god he’s drunk on shade of the evening and now I can’t unsee it.
that comment stays true 5 years later :(
I've always liked this video, it makes me think of The Mighty Boosh
Always a pleasure to listen to this song
the only acceptable live-action adaptation of Flapjack
Watching this before class to recharge myself with happiness to cope with two hours of dull class. Modest Mouse are the best!!
2020 and this song still never fails to give me goosebumps.
This is my happy song. Soundtrack to some of the best nights of my life, 8th grade, skating rink, with the love of my life.
RIP babe miss you and these days so much ❤
Johnny Marr's cool
บีรล
He's been cool longer than I've been alive and I'm almost 35
I saw these guys live in Missoula last month--AWESOME!!!! Can't wait to see them live again.
“The dashboard melted but we still have the radio ...”. LOL!!!
YES!! i originally saw this video YEARS ago on tv and i just recently thought about it, ive spent the last 3 days trying to find it!
The best part of this song is at 1:07.
This and Float On are Timeless classics
I used to listen to this doing chinese delivery. I was working full time in IT. Studying electrical engineering full time aswell.
We were going through the 2nd big crash that affected me at the time. The state had pulled a 3500$ bursery in consequence to the telecom crash.
As someone who lives in Nowhere, I can attest it is indeed somewhere you want to go.
This song makes me feel alive still heart this song for many year's, it's now one my guy favorite song.
Rip ron joseph. He's my dad. The silver haired man at the round table. 😢
I can't explain why, but l just had to listen to this song. Such an awesome group
Bar tender pulls up trousers....bloody genius
7 years later still a good song
Another 7 years and still a good song
In 2020, this continues to be one of my favorite music videos.
What an absolute crime that this only has 20m views. All 8b should watch this
The ending of this video gets me every time 😂
They have a really specific style which makes their songs IMPOSSIBLE to get bored with
3:17 I like the silly part when Isaac takes the mops, and the guy just looks at him, while The other one Just winks like
' just go with it'
I can’t really explain it, but now that the dust has settled many years later, this song isn’t what I originally thought it was. The meaning, the style, everything. It’s much more mature or something. Or maybe it’s just that I am 😔
I did this song at karaoke 🎤 last night. Too obscure to be a crowd pleaser, but it pleased me !!! 😺
Thats what’s up. 🤘
anyone else nostalgic for this song?
I saw this playing on a TV at a Tilly's once, like in 2011 or something. I thought I had hallucinated this video, and have been searching for it every so often ever since. I'm not disappointed. Great song.
Best music video ever.
This Indie Song has the BEST DRUMS in their music world ! 🥁😎
I remember being nineteen, hanging with friends, drinking together... Very nostalgic song for me.... The good ol'days...
