My son played this song on his keyboard and sent it to me in 2008 along with the original. He was out of the country studying abroad. He passed away in 2014 from opiates, my god he loved Modest Mouse.
So true especially when he said he wrote "float on" as a response to critics saying their music was too depressing... lol it's a great song but really it's just as depressing as everything else.
Whoa!!! I once listened to this on repeat for hours in preparation to meet God on psychedelics. Guess what it worked!!! I've had your exact experience before too, they were a bit similar no joke lol
This song was shown to me by someone I love with all of my heart. I got him clean and spent every single day with him for months. He ended up dying in an accident on January 12th This is our song... Im going to visit his grave in May and I'm playing this for him on my guitar one last time I love you Ziggy -your Mitzy
This song will forever take me back to when i was 14-16, chilling with my best friend who now lives 600 miles away. When we had no cares in the world, spending the majority of our time together exploring this world. What I would give to go back to those days for just a little while.
I'd give the rest of my life for one day back when life was, i dunno, fucking awesome I guess. No money, shwag weed, big dreams, old 70's car (in mid 90's) you had to enter through the window, Not that everything was perfect, but thinking back, they were as good as it gets. the biggest thing was the friends. where did every one go? did they just get old, like me? when did it end? It's too bad all good things must come to an end, and it sucks that it's always too soon. When I go to bed I always make a wish, to go back in time in a dream. It often works. Sometimes it works so well I want to cry when I wake up, of happiness. That's the only way to go back in time I think. If I didn't have those dreams, I don't think I'd stick around. But that's just me.
Alexandre Ginnsz Reading this comment made me realize how much I need to appreciate the small things in life, instead of hoping for bigger, better things. I'm only 18 so I can't pretend I know what it's like to be old, but I know I'm not getting any younger, and from here onward life will never be the same as now. I hope someday you manage to find happiness in reality, because this comment has opened my eyes to do the same. And until that day comes for you, I wish you the best of dreams.
Its music like this that can simultaneously make you feel melancholy but relaxed, contemplative or nostalgic and also at peace. I like finding the melancholy/slightly upbeat songs in every genre. I am drawn to it.
+Nathaniel J. Capenos I also really like this sort of semi happy semi sad music, some good albums for it are Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - Flaming Lips, Doolittle / Surfer Rosa - Pixies, The Bends / Ok Computer / Kid A - Radiohead, Big Calm - Morcheeba, Pinkerton - Weezer.
+Negan When I saw them they played this, Ocean Breathes Salty, Never Ending Math Equation, The Ground Walks With Time In A Box, 3rd Planet, Grey Ice Water, and SO many other amazing favorites. So good
big boss is dead Haha this was great! Sometimes i fucking forget im fucking NEGAN. I been in this cage too long. Im going to slide my dic down ricks throat, and hes going to fucking thank me for it.
Long ago now, this song helped me through a really rough patch in my life. It's the perfect soundtrack for a drive through the night, moving away from a city that has rejected you.
Had to come see this particular video of Dramamine. So many years ago I watched this in my earlier 20s and it fascinated me and that was the start of me becoming a Modest Mouse fan. I’m 36 now and it still hits. Rest In Peace Jeremiah.
I watch this everyday, so good, the video is perfect , it goes so well together. And the cartoon is from the safe driver's education film ''Stop driving us crazy'' from 1958.
The cartoon is called "Stop Driving Us Crazy!", it came out in 1959. For those of you who are wondering. You can find it on youtube, just search for it.
I have always thought that a guitarist that can make a simple riff sound amazing is a better guitarist than one who can make a complicated riff sound alright. Isaac is the master of making simple riffs into audible gold. Dramamine is a perfect example of his ability to do this.
this song makes me think about miscommunication in a relationship, somethings wrong, its not working out, but they keep trying to get the most out of it that they can. also dph...
SAME HERE! Heard that song on Pandora one day and decided to look for more. The rest is history. They are still my favorite band for 5 years strong. Its so unique and I swear their songs never get old!
This was one of the first songs my partner showed me when we met. He said Modest Mouse was basically his favourite band. We listened to the songs together, although we were physically seperated, our minds were at the same place. I remember these days so vividly, how connected I felt. I wonder what has happened between then and now
Reminds me of summer 2016. I hung out with the same 3 or 4 friends like every day and it was beautiful. My friend asked me to learn this song on guitar because it was one of her favorites. I just remembered this one today and thought of her. I've reached out a couple times since then but no luck. Guess that's how it goes sometimes. Maybe I'll see her again one day. I really miss her. She was one of my best friends. It always stayed platonic which was the best part for me. We could just be real with each other and never had to worry about the impression we made. We got along well and I loved those times together.
I believe Modest Mouse as a group has been thru so many moments in life and their experiences overall are the lyrics that are misunderstood to many except the handful of people that get it and can relate. I have made some bad decisions in my past as far as when I was finding myself and that struggle throughout the process was me to begin with. When I was trying to understand the person starring back in the reflection in the mirror. I was looking for the answer and it was right there all along. I had been letting this confusing society/world get to me and take over who I am. In the days long before I was confused and now it is all making sense because I wanted it to. I took the steps to make it that way the best way I could. So, with that being said, Modest Mouse as a group seems like they are trying to make sense out of what they have been thru via the lyrics, the beat, the way of how I feel and think so much when I listen to a tune from them.
I remember this was the first modest mouse song I had ever heard, on this exact video, about ten years ago. It's pretty amazing in a sense that it's still up, and has become something of a digital keepsake to me.
Sometimes I get too busy and go through long stretches where I don't listen to much music. I'm listening to all of the MM albums again today for the first time in about a year and sweet baby Jesus is it amazing. It's like discovering them all over again. Sometimes I have to listen to the same track over and over again like this one and Trailer Trash. MODEST MOUSE IS THE SHIT!
Travelling swallowing Dramamine Feeling spaced breathing out Listerine I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya And that you'd killed the better part of me If you could just milk it for everything I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean But I still can't focus on anything We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves Travelling swallowing Dramamine Look at your face like you're killed in a dream And you think you've figured out everything I think I know my geography pretty damn well You say what you need so you'll get more If you could just milk it for everything I've said what I said and you know what I mean But I can't still focus on anything
One of the best songs ever created ever.. Seriously.. Absolutely fucking beautiful..amazing! I've loved this song for many years, it's one of those songs that you sing from the heart, beautifully written, sang & played, I can't say much more except how beautiful this song is & those lyrics haunt my mind :) fucking non stop goose bumps :)
Beautiful video. Combined with the song, it captures the anxiety of living in a postmodern/late capitalist culture like nothing I've ever seen before, except MAYBE the matrix. Thank you to whoever made this.
Seriously so beautiful, everything about it. The texture of this song is something else, serene but bouncy. It gives me chills. It's like walking through your mind when you're just fuckin' done with the world but you know there's brightness out there and you're dragging your feet despite knowing you just want to lay down and stop.
This song reminds me of coming down off of shrooms for the first time. Driving home after a 6 hour trip where I spent all my time in the woods, alone, marveling at the beauty I had never taken the time to see in the simplicity of the world - feeling and experiencing the true power of the human brain and the immense amount of phenomena around us we fail to perceive. Only to realize as soon as I got home, all of that would fade, and slowly I would fall back into place - words came back to the forefront of all interactions, manmade things became real again, and slowly my sensory dulled back to its base level. The serenity in realizing the beauty around us, but simultaneously coming to the realization that alone, I could probably never appreciate it for what it truly is on a consistent basis without completely ostracizing myself from all that is modern life... that feeling forever lingers with me, the way this song just patters on in repetition. It's like being lost, but found at the same time, in a cycle. Never knowing where you're going, or where you are, only that you belong somewhere else.
I used to watch this video just out of high school. Id get home from hanging with the guys and be stoned watching/listening and just get lost in the music and this video at 1 in the morning...now im 32 with 3 kids and it still hits me exactly the same...fuck time flys
i hear ya man.... i posted this video when i was 16 and now i'm about to turn 33 and have a young daughter of my own. i hope she likes this song as much as i did when she's older!
it's very clever and original what you created here, especially with the transformation of the traffic intersection cross into the Red Cross into the graveyard cross. love it!
The absolute most beautiful song put out by man. But can we really say man, since Isaac Brock appears more and more like a god? With exception to their newest track, this band has showed over and over that it digs from an indefatigable source of creativity and originality. These guys are here for you for the best and worst times, always playing a melody to haunt your mind as the days and years pass by. Compliments to the maker of this video, it fit this song better than perfect, and compliments to the band themselves; this track fucking rocks.
+crewskater06 Modest Mouse is one of my favorite, if not my favorite band of all time. Maybe it's just because I love their old stuff too much or I'm just hostile to music produced in this terrible day and age, but there was something missing for me there. They really changed as a group with the Good news for people who love bad news and with We were dead before the ship even sank, but I kinda liked it then. Of course, nothing sounds better to me than Dramamine, custom concern, styrofoam boots, polar opposites, wild pack of family dogs (I like the live version), etc, but I had enjoyed them evolving as a group. But with this new album I'm really on the fence about it. It's got some catchy sounds to it but the songwriting just can't compare to Isaac's older stuff. I just fear they're dabbling into the mainstream sound a bit, but maybe them just switching things up. Either way, I find their older tunes to be a lot more enjoyable than their newer stuff
noah kologinski I can understand where you're coming from. New music by anyone rarely sounds as good as their old stuff. Modest did lose their bassist Eric Judy right before the release of their newest album which might be the cause of their new direction/sound. I feel as if this album reaches their roots more than the last one. For example in ground walks with time in a box, you can hear the Dramamine sound at the end of the song. There's also lots of references existentialism which is usually Isaac's theme. Hopefully the album will grow on you like it did for me.
This song and Modest Mouse as a whole, saved my life. Without their music I wouldn’t be here today. I made a promise to myself that I would see them play live at least once in my life. I’m finally going to fulfill that promise this summer 2024
Love to see it. I didn't get to see them until a couple years ago, and it now I'm about to see them for the 3rd time in just as many years. Godspeed buddy
This is my go to song when I'm struggling. Crazy how something can relate to so many situations. I was a victim of rape and sexual assault. These lyrics perfectly summarize what I felt and continue to struggle with.
I remember this song from high school, my best friend and I were taking mushrooms with some other people, decided to ditch them and sneak over to his house at like 3am. Spent the night over there in his room tripping, listening to this song, and drawing some really great artwork. I miss you Zach, I'm sorry we drifted apart.
what makes you think i was just talking about the lyrics ? music itself expresses so much. the sounds, the chosen effects, the melody and of course the chords remind me of a shroom trip it just gives me that feeling you dont have to understand the lyrics to get what a good song trys to tell you^^
+lala vasquez Well, considering MDMA binds serotonin transporters and chemically alters the brain in devastating ways if not manufactured properly...he probably did quite a bit, and I'm amazed he could even string a sentence together.
Lol I wrote that coming down from DXM combined with some weed. What a crazy experience. This song filled me with so much nostalgia and I wanted to cry. Awesome video too. Definitely fits the vibe.
"Bad song on mushrooms" Ok listen ... A bad trip on shrooms is nothing compared to the paranoia and dysphoria created by dph and dipenhydramine. That's what this song is about. Taking more than the recommended dose of dramamine to get high. You get spacy and confused and hallucinate--not like psychedelic hallucination though. Like realistic hallucinations. And you enter a state of delerium. That's exactly what the song is portraying.
Jebus, this old cartoon goes so well with this song. The first few times I saw the video, I thought it was made for it. First heard the song in 2007, and I still listen to this song often. It speaks something to me!
To me this song addresses the tragedy of addiction, especially the record skipping at the end. I'm glad I can turn this shit off now...(still a fucking beautiful song)
+Mick Brenda Dude that is always how i have seen this song. Its one of my favorites from one of my favorite bands. Its a shame where modest mouse is now, but it is still great to go back to the heart of their musical genius. This song will always be their best imo
True, but dramamine was dysphoric almost every time where as LSD or other DOCs are usually euphoric. But if you love the whole tripping and exploration thing maybe it works for some. I couldn't handle it. I was like 'take me to my room, lock that shit'
Sir Cat Well to be fair, I don't actually have much experience with dramamine, but diphenhydramine, they're nearly identical though. It's definitely not for everyone, most people hate it, but I immensely enjoy watching a movie for 5 minutes until I realize I'm actually looking at a tree.. but that's just me
There's some cryptic understanding to this video that matches the extremely ambiguous way I feel and process this song intellectually and that's okay because I'm an eccentric snowflake and the world panders to my sense of entitlement if I don't get my way. I don't know if I should do Heroin, Kill Myself, Or write a novel about my Heroin addiction. -Melancholy Pseudo-Intellectual Hipster
This song gives me a feeling that I can't explain. Like a sad happiness and a sense of comforting loneliness. Like warm, yet cold and depressing nostalgia? It's hard to explain, like I said.

Sorry to hear that.
I'm so sorry
Bummer
Peace to you, Margie, love to your son's spirit.
Modest Mouse is the only band to make your depression worse, yet be kind enough to help you through the roughest patches.
Its like they are liveing its with us
This is the best comment about them. Thank you
You summed it up nicely.
Mountains Goats
So true especially when he said he wrote "float on" as a response to critics saying their music was too depressing... lol it's a great song but really it's just as depressing as everything else.
I once listened to this song while driving to urgent care with a fever of 104. I'll never forget that experience.
I'll never forget your username.
This is as it should be.
sounds magical
Whoa!!! I once listened to this on repeat for hours in preparation to meet God on psychedelics. Guess what it worked!!! I've had your exact experience before too, they were a bit similar no joke lol
I see what you did there
This song was shown to me by someone I love with all of my heart. I got him clean and spent every single day with him for months. He ended up dying in an accident on January 12th
This is our song...
Im going to visit his grave in May and I'm playing this for him on my guitar one last time
I love you Ziggy

deep thoughts bro nostalgia is good and a very sensitive spot but dont dwell on the past too much or you'll miss the present / future
Its music like this that can simultaneously make you feel melancholy but relaxed, contemplative or nostalgic and also at peace. I like finding the melancholy/slightly upbeat songs in every genre. I am drawn to it.
+Nathaniel J. Capenos this is accurate
+Nathaniel J. Capenos yeah, for me it's this band and interpol that give me these kind of feelings
+Nathaniel J. Capenos This statement is art... because art reflects life, and this statement resonates with a good year of my life.
+Nathaniel J. Capenos I also really like this sort of semi happy semi sad music, some good albums for it are Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots - Flaming Lips, Doolittle / Surfer Rosa - Pixies, The Bends / Ok Computer / Kid A - Radiohead, Big Calm - Morcheeba, Pinkerton - Weezer.
Metric is amazing, go give them a listen.
I saw modest mouse live a couple days back, and they fucking opened with this song, it was literally the most magical moment of my life
Man I got goose bumps just thinking about it! Lol you are so lucky to have seen M.M:)
Yeah they played at a small venue. Some other good ones they played. Custom concern. Good times.
+Negan When I saw them they played this, Ocean Breathes Salty, Never Ending Math Equation, The Ground Walks With Time In A Box, 3rd Planet, Grey Ice Water, and SO many other amazing favorites. So good
+Negan must have let out a lot of locked up emotions, you must have felt really caged.
big boss is dead
Haha this was great! Sometimes i fucking forget im fucking NEGAN. I been in this cage too long. Im going to slide my dic down ricks throat, and hes going to fucking thank me for it.
Long ago now, this song helped me through a really rough patch in my life. It's the perfect soundtrack for a drive through the night, moving away from a city that has rejected you.
that's fucking beautifully put.
Nice Denver is a great place but not mine never will be
I did fuck off. That's what I was describing in my comment.
+Andy Houston Well, I know one thing about that town, not a person doesn't want you underground.
True enough, Jason. I agree.
Had to come see this particular video of Dramamine. So many years ago I watched this in my earlier 20s and it fascinated me and that was the start of me becoming a Modest Mouse fan. I’m 36 now and it still hits. Rest In Peace Jeremiah.
I also discovered this specific video right around 20 and even 10 years later I sometimes seek it out. Fascinating and oddly satisfying.
What is the cartoon used in this fan music video
Damn man, this isn't the official video? Holy crap, dude. It's amazingly well done and fits the song so well. Props to you.
Ditto
Bill White Tud ditly do.....
Agreed. Well done, friend!
Agreed, it fits well enough to the point that it should be.
The video really is an interpretive masterpiece.
This is less of music and more of just philosophical artistic genius
+Will Schneider that is a great way to put it
true
words can not describe this emotion
that's EXACTLY what music is supposed to be...
minus the philosophy in most cases however.
RIP Jeremiah Green, this is one of my favorite songs. May your spirit live on through your music ✌️
It's so sad, so true tho, this how you live immortally, you leave behind a legacy everyone will remember you by. RIP
This video is the reason I will never make a Dramamine video. This is perfect.
....but yet you did anyway lol
Couldn't help myself. XD
Well that was a fuckin lie
@@ModestMouser Thou art forgiven
Both videos are great though king
I watch this everyday, so good, the video is perfect , it goes so well together.
And the cartoon is from the safe driver's education film ''Stop driving us crazy'' from 1958.
The cartoon is called "Stop Driving Us Crazy!", it came out in 1959. For those of you who are wondering. You can find it on youtube, just search for it.
Love, love, love the guitar riffs in this song!
Was JUST saying that to my GF.
wrnchhead76
w0w amazing! it must be a sign haha xD
krbzkrbzkrbz ecks DEEEEE
It was scary for 6 year old me tho
I have always thought that a guitarist that can make a simple riff sound amazing is a better guitarist than one who can make a complicated riff sound alright. Isaac is the master of making simple riffs into audible gold. Dramamine is a perfect example of his ability to do this.
All the right notes and none of the wrong ones.
this song makes me think about miscommunication in a relationship, somethings wrong, its not working out, but they keep trying to get the most out of it that they can. also dph...
there are many different kinds of relationships within the human sphere that this relates to yes.
This is hella tight, I only listen to that one Float On song they did, turns out these guys are really dope. Glad I found this
SAME HERE! Heard that song on Pandora one day and decided to look for more. The rest is history. They are still my favorite band for 5 years strong. Its so unique and I swear their songs never get old!
Same
just had to ask, do people actually use "hella tight" where you live? never heard a person use it other then off tv
Jay Koerner Yeah. Bay Area. Also, I'm older, so maybe it's a dated phrase. But me and my friends and family all say it.
TheJofrica bay area? like panama city? that's where i live, but i'm 22 so maybe their is a age gap,
this is one of my fave songs of all time
Haven't listened to this band in years, last time i listened to them was when i was 17 haha.
Mine also. I keep coming back to it.
This was one of the first songs my partner showed me when we met. He said Modest Mouse was basically his favourite band. We listened to the songs together, although we were physically seperated, our minds were at the same place. I remember these days so vividly, how connected I felt. I wonder what has happened between then and now
This was so so so good live. I'll never forget seeing them live.
This song makes me depressed but, in a good way.
wouldn't that just be melancholy
+Logan Allen I guess
lol
modest mouse in a nutshell
oxymorons
Reminds me of summer 2016. I hung out with the same 3 or 4 friends like every day and it was beautiful. My friend asked me to learn this song on guitar because it was one of her favorites.

I believe Modest Mouse as a group has been thru so many moments in life and their experiences overall are the lyrics that are misunderstood to many except the handful of people that get it and can relate.

If you live along the 2019 tour with Black Keys go to the show! Modest Mouse is on point, they sound great!
I keep coming back to this work of art. What a fitting video for such a beautiful and somber song.
This song was always a favorite of mine to play. It's simple, no difficult chords to learn. Even the breakdown is simple enough to figure.
This music is a feeling itself.
I remember this was the first modest mouse song I had ever heard, on this exact video, about ten years ago. It's pretty amazing in a sense that it's still up, and has become something of a digital keepsake to me.
Same here
same same
i always thought this was the official video. Props for making it fit the song so well.

I'm listening to all of the MM albums again today for the first time in about a year and sweet baby Jesus is it amazing. It's like discovering them all over again.

MODEST MOUSE IS THE SHIT!
And Cowboy Dan! 🤠
Toby Toots definitely 😁
I feel like I'm drifting back to the 60s every time I listen to this song. One of my favs.
Travelling swallowing Dramamine
Feeling spaced breathing out Listerine
I'd said what I'd said that I'd tell ya
And that you'd killed the better part of me
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I'd said and you know what I mean
But I still can't focus on anything
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves
Travelling swallowing Dramamine
Look at your face like you're killed in a dream
And you think you've figured out everything
I think I know my geography pretty damn well
You say what you need so you'll get more
If you could just milk it for everything
I've said what I said and you know what I mean
But I can't still focus on anything
Such a perfect song for where my life was at 20 years ago. Thank you MM.
Very relatable.
One of the best songs ever created ever.. Seriously.. Absolutely fucking beautiful..amazing! I've loved this song for many years, it's one of those songs that you sing from the heart, beautifully written, sang & played, I can't say much more except how beautiful this song is & those lyrics haunt my mind :) fucking non stop goose bumps :)
+spiralcosmosart agreed!

This comment is so great
I mean it is about the drug abuse of Dramamine back in the 90's. The song is about tripping balls so it fits pretty well.
I'm back to comment on this vid. I can't even watch it., makes me feel super sad, as does the song. Am I alone?
+Jill Ames no
It's a nostalgic sad for me
nope.
nah and i refreshed my google account to say that. brings back memories, and not great ones but nostalgic
I dunno to me its just really soothing. I guess I just have always loved melancholy music so it really doesn't give me that depressing vibe.
RHCP Scar Tissue brought me here! Love a good RUclips binge! :)
Cool! Awesome, really liked the stuff ! Music is the best thing ever isn't it? I'm very thankful to be a musician!
you probably suck and your music talents lol will amount to nothing, please shut the fuck up and keep it off the M.M. channel
TopicsOfGossip well go and fuck yourself fucking idiot.
TopicsOfGossip Sounds like some fucktard is jealous they never put the effort or time into learning how to play music beyond guitar hero.
TopicsOfGossip you are a complete idiot. are you just trying to get people to come to your channel?
TopicsOfGossip
I didn't really get why this guy had to bring up that he's a musician either. It's pretty funny.

I used to watch this video just out of high school. Id get home from hanging with the guys and be stoned watching/listening and just get lost in the music and this video at 1 in the morning...now im 32 with 3 kids and it still hits me exactly the same...fuck time flys
i hear ya man.... i posted this video when i was 16 and now i'm about to turn 33 and have a young daughter of my own. i hope she likes this song as much as i did when she's older!
This is the most beautiful song you could ever listen to when your heart's broken
Modest Mousers de todo o Brasil, uni-vos!

alegra meu coração
This video feels oddly fitting, it's awesome. It makes me think about life and other deep stuff. Congrats whoever made this you're awesome.
This is essentially the official video for this song. At least it is to me
+rfogo14 thank you for enjoying the song, that is what the video is all about
What cartoon is this? I've saw this before
I've been here since 2009, I agree.
Such a lonesome feel to the song, but it makes me so happy :)
it's very clever and original what you created here, especially with the transformation of the traffic intersection cross into the Red Cross into the graveyard cross. love it!
that guitar is perfecto
We kiss on the mouth but still cough down our sleeves!
Mind blowing video. I've watched this at least 50 times over the last 5 years. Words can't express
Back when I did drugs that sent me to far off lands, this was my go to video.
+Robert Elam thanks for watching sir
me too, me too.
same
Me too. The nostalgia hurts way too much to fully register
Me too, sometimes I think about going back to those far off lands.
I like to be alone, no messes, no need to reply, I keep the door shut and the blinds closed and I don't have to think. Dramamine...
This song rips my heart out and throws it in the ocean and I feel like it's just drowning. So happy and lost with this wonderful song
Anastasia Kuznetsova that's melancholy
You made this yourself? It looks as good as studio made ones. :> Nice!
There's something about modest mouse where it hits so much harder when it's low quality
This video is so amazing. It's an absolute masterpiece. Thank you for uploading.
The absolute most beautiful song put out by man. But can we really say man, since Isaac Brock appears more and more like a god? With exception to their newest track, this band has showed over and over that it digs from an indefatigable source of creativity and originality. These guys are here for you for the best and worst times, always playing a melody to haunt your mind as the days and years pass by. Compliments to the maker of this video, it fit this song better than perfect, and compliments to the band themselves; this track fucking rocks.
+noah kologinski What newest track are you referring to? I take it you didn't like their new album?
+crewskater06 Modest Mouse is one of my favorite, if not my favorite band of all time. Maybe it's just because I love their old stuff too much or I'm just hostile to music produced in this terrible day and age, but there was something missing for me there. They really changed as a group with the Good news for people who love bad news and with We were dead before the ship even sank, but I kinda liked it then. Of course, nothing sounds better to me than Dramamine, custom concern, styrofoam boots, polar opposites, wild pack of family dogs (I like the live version), etc, but I had enjoyed them evolving as a group. But with this new album I'm really on the fence about it. It's got some catchy sounds to it but the songwriting just can't compare to Isaac's older stuff. I just fear they're dabbling into the mainstream sound a bit, but maybe them just switching things up. Either way, I find their older tunes to be a lot more enjoyable than their newer stuff
noah kologinski I can understand where you're coming from. New music by anyone rarely sounds as good as their old stuff. Modest did lose their bassist Eric Judy right before the release of their newest album which might be the cause of their new direction/sound. I feel as if this album reaches their roots more than the last one. For example in ground walks with time in a box, you can hear the Dramamine sound at the end of the song. There's also lots of references existentialism which is usually Isaac's theme. Hopefully the album will grow on you like it did for me.
+crewskater06 I suppose I'll give it another shot and judging a book by its cover. It's true I haven't even heard the whole thing😅
+Dysturbed1 how can you have an opinion if you havent listened to it?
I'm quite under the influence right now and the last minute just blew my mind for some reason. it was scary, but it blew my mind.
It kind of is the perfect song for when one is under the influence.
+LukeLane1984 anything by modest mouse is
Judah Cook
Impressionable people will be impressed.
Fuckk your. Monitering systems sorry mr fern
Absolutely beautiful melody.
I can't sleep without dramamine
the ending of Dramamine scared Degnan
This song and Modest Mouse as a whole, saved my life. Without their music I wouldn’t be here today. I made a promise to myself that I would see them play live at least once in my life. I’m finally going to fulfill that promise this summer 2024
Love to see it. I didn't get to see them until a couple years ago, and it now I'm about to see them for the 3rd time in just as many years. Godspeed buddy
Thank you brother, from one MM fan to another, their music will always be with us
This is my go to song when I'm struggling. Crazy how something can relate to so many situations.
I was a victim of rape and sexual assault. These lyrics perfectly summarize what I felt and continue to struggle with.
redhuggermugger I think I know my geography pretty damn well.
I hope you are holding up well.
This songs more relaxing then sad
+240sx95 It sounds sad but oddly calming.
+RosarioMetsFan It sounds depressingly calming
+240sx95 Sounds like dramamine
I remember this song from high school, my best friend and I were taking mushrooms with some other people, decided to ditch them and sneak over to his house at like 3am. Spent the night over there in his room tripping, listening to this song, and drawing some really great artwork. I miss you Zach, I'm sorry we drifted apart.
I've taken dramamine.
It never worked this well.
All hail the mouse!
Reminds me of Pinback a bit.
what makes you think i was just talking about the lyrics ?
music itself expresses so much.
the sounds, the chosen effects, the melody and of course the chords remind me of a shroom trip
it just gives me that feeling
you dont have to understand the lyrics to get what a good song trys to tell you^^
A song from a terrible time in my life
wow this song...
They should make this the official video.
one of my favorite songs, and you did a great job with the video. very surreal
i always come back to them when life seems to not make sense... so that i can remember its not supposed to.
This song makes me sad
NoemiTutos same
+NoemiTutos I once did exstascy and listened to this song over and over and got so emotional and sad.
Zachary Tabor lol, doubt. You can't even spell it.
+lala vasquez lol caught him
+lala vasquez Well, considering MDMA binds serotonin transporters and chemically alters the brain in devastating ways if not manufactured properly...he probably did quite a bit, and I'm amazed he could even string a sentence together.
Man did this song help me get through some times. Thank you
why do i suddenly smell flintstones vitamins?
Word
So in every version, the lyrics are masked by the volume of the instruments. Why is that?
they aren't in the version i have, at least not as much. i feel like it adds to the song.
I think it's to emulate the feeling of being on a large amount of dramamine, been there? Then you know what I mean.
Joshua Ballard dear god that shit fucks you up. I'm 90% sure that's why it masks the lyrics.
This is a really shitty quality upload of the song. Listen to different uploads of it.
2ii 1 the wfwji86a8 oq
Lol I wrote that coming down from DXM combined with some weed. What a crazy experience. This song filled me with so much nostalgia and I wanted to cry. Awesome video too. Definitely fits the vibe.
I remember my friend showing me this mv when I was tripping balls on dxm -- mind-boggling it was. Good w/ or w/o druqs, but gotdamn...
"Bad song on mushrooms"
Ok listen ... A bad trip on shrooms is nothing compared to the paranoia and dysphoria created by dph and dipenhydramine. That's what this song is about. Taking more than the recommended dose of dramamine to get high. You get spacy and confused and hallucinate--not like psychedelic hallucination though. Like realistic hallucinations. And you enter a state of delerium. That's exactly what the song is portraying.
I also think it’s talking about a space crews way back from the moon. But that’s a longer theory.
Jebus, this old cartoon goes so well with this song. The first few times I saw the video, I thought it was made for it. First heard the song in 2007, and I still listen to this song often. It speaks something to me!
The trippiest shit ever.
The trippiest shit ever is Sun Araw.
+Nekos Should Die true
+shanepdonnelly thanks son
This song makes me want to drive.
this is easily my favorite video on youtube. thank you :)
So this is what oldschool feels like
2007. Oldschool. No, just no.
Davy Jones
Animation and videoclip.
Davy Jones Whoops, right? :)
curupa66
Just a wee bit. Just looked it up now. I have their whole discography but had no idea they were so old. My mistake ~_~
Davy Jones They haven't even released a studio album since 2007...something here sounds fishy.
I loved them more when it was just Isaac Jeremiah and Eric.. Live!!!
They are really really good live! I saw them in Burlington in 2015 in a small venue and they were so goddamn tight!!
To me this song addresses the tragedy of addiction, especially the record skipping at the end. I'm glad I can turn this shit off now...(still a fucking beautiful song)
+Mick Brenda Dude that is always how i have seen this song. Its one of my favorites from one of my favorite bands. Its a shame where modest mouse is now, but it is still great to go back to the heart of their musical genius. This song will always be their best imo
I wonder if this has anything to do with actually taking dramamine.
That shit gets you high as fuck.
I definitely wouldn't call it a high.
Wings Of Excess more like a 'wtf am I delirium'
not recommended
Yes, delirium is the name of the game.
Honestly delirium/hallucinating is really awesome with some drugs,especially psychedelics and dissociatives
True, but dramamine was dysphoric almost every time where as LSD or other DOCs are usually euphoric.
But if you love the whole tripping and exploration thing maybe it works for some. I couldn't handle it. I was like 'take me to my room, lock that shit'
Sir Cat Well to be fair, I don't actually have much experience with dramamine, but diphenhydramine, they're nearly identical though.
It's definitely not for everyone, most people hate it, but I immensely enjoy watching a movie for 5 minutes until I realize I'm actually looking at a tree.. but that's just me
i really love this video.
there is both a charm and a fasinating eeriness in the simpllicity of the drawings.
you did a great job.
What happened with the alien car?
It flew away into happyland.
It was "demotored" by some obscure 'terrorist' organization
***** Based on a true story..........
There's some cryptic understanding to this video that matches the extremely ambiguous way I feel and process this song intellectually and that's okay because I'm an eccentric snowflake and the world panders to my sense of entitlement if I don't get my way. I don't know if I should do Heroin, Kill Myself, Or write a novel about my Heroin addiction.
-Melancholy Pseudo-Intellectual Hipster
lol
Can't tell if your joking
This song gives me a feeling that I can't explain. Like a sad happiness and a sense of comforting loneliness. Like warm, yet cold and depressing nostalgia? It's hard to explain, like I said.
☆Sapphire Winters☆ I feel the same way
Man it's 420 and 543 am I'm stoned and this is just amazing
I wish I was stoned ....
HOLY LIVING FUCK THIS SONG
SO TRUE
I'm friends with brocks brother. went fishing with max here in Eugene last summer. awesome family they are.
I listen for 3:17
