A Story by James Stockstill One evening at Denver’s Bluebird Theater, where Modest Mouse was playing on a bill with fellow Northwesterners Built to Spill, Graham broke a second-floor window and stole into the backstage area. As Modest Mouse came off stage, he was excitedly waiting for them, blood streaming from cuts on his arms and face that he’d received from stray shards of glass. Chanting “This’ll do it” under his breath, Graham introduced himself to the source of his enlightenment. Here again the facts become obscured. While each band member remembers Graham saying “This’ll do it” repeatedly, they disagree on how he referred to him-self. According to Brock, he introduced himself as “Ugly Casanova.” Green remembers Graham saying “I’m Isaac,” and Judy remembers “I’m Ed.” More...

This is the one song on that album that I like as much, if not more, then some of their old stuff. I can't explain it but the way he wails on the guitar is just beautiful. What ever makes you happy | Reviewer: Tiffany ------ About the song Float On performed by Modest Mouse I think everyone should be able to just listen to the song and get what they want out if. Music has always been something I go to to just release I suppose and being able to think what I want about a song always make it better for me. Phenomenal | Reviewer: Kaelan ------ About the song Teeth Like God's Shoeshine performed by Modest Mouse One can't really understand how emotional this song is until you see them perform it live. It's mind blowing just how much performance quality is put into just this song. MM, truly a stroke or seizure of brilliance. to Jason | Reviewer: jakob ------ About the song Ocean Breathes Salty performed by Modest Mouse The name of the version you are thinking of is named "The ocean breeze is sally" I don't know what record it's on, but you can find it, I found it on Limewire, although I hate using it because if you ask me Modest Mouse deserves alot more than the $0.99 that you pay for a song. play on repeat | Reviewer: cranonymous ------ About the song I've Got It All (Most) performed by Modest Mouse i like to think its about yourself and another person. possibly in a relationship but it could just be someone close to you... i guess thats just how i feel the song. i listen to this song almost everyday. modest mouse speaks to me, i could even say isaac brock verbalizes my feelings. I FUCKING LOOOOOVVVVEEE MODEST MOUSE!!!!!!!! top 5 | Reviewer: justlikeheaven ------ About the song So Much Beauty in Dirt performed by Modest Mouse definitely my top 5 mouse song, everytime I listen to it, it turns into 1 minute and 24 seconds of musical bliss, if only the song was longer. But, i think having it so short is part of what makes the song so magical. The depth of this song is amazing that it does not to be a 3 minute long song. The words and meaning behind this tune is incredible. Thank you Issac Brock for being such a fucking musical genius. So simple, yet so beautiful. My view. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Custom Concern performed by Modest Mouse Well, firstly, I think the slow and laborious, yet melodious tone of the music is representative of a journey through the dull and often repetitive routines of the average suburban life. The lyrics? They are excellent. The buildings and monuments wear out our eyes. We get up in the morning and have to force ourselves out of bed and drag ourselves across the concrete, the paving, and do our job, even when the said job is not our passion. MM makes us aware that there might be something better for us, and makes us aware that the life described in the song is a life unfulfilled. The suburban dweller experiences life as a burden, and eventually it becomes heavier and heavier, it feels to him as if it will never end, as if it will never stop, but he pushes on nevertheless. MM thinks that going about life this way is wrong. If we continue going on in this way, we will end up building a desert - a place where life and passion are rare things indeed. We might even build ourselves a literal desert if we don't change the way we live. Global warming is getting pretty serious. nga f'real | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dramamine performed by Modest Mouse i just wanted to let you know, ''you think you've figured out everything, well i think i know my geography pretty damn well'' is my favorite line. If you're into deep, abstract, beautiful, meaningless lyrics, check out the defunct band Bear vs. Shark. CHARLES | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bukowski performed by Modest Mouse i can't believe nobody has picked up on the fact this song is about the american alcoholic writer/poet Charles Bukowski. Read Ham on Rye and it will make sense that this song really isn't THAT directly about religion. and yes, great banjo part! life's a river | Reviewer: Joel ------ About the song Float On performed by Modest Mouse Sometimes, we all really do need to just float on, and i think this song does a great job of reminding us all. As for the whole slaughterhouse thing, I think it's a metaphor that basically says "Yeah, we'll all be going the same way eventually, but until then, just live your life peacefully and happily." And so, with that, I leave you to interpret it on your own. Mitch = D-bag | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bukowski performed by Modest Mouse Do you go around to lyrics just to preach your religion? Well not ALL religious people are "Morons" but you sure are. Haha, and I'm sure if earth was "Under the domain of Satan", things would be shittier. The fact of the matter is, whatever religion you may be, is solely based off of where and when you were born. As Dawkings said "If you were born in India, you'd be a Hindu. If you were brought up in Denmark in the time of the Vikings, you would be believing in Wotan and Thor. If you were born in classical Greece, you'd be believing in Zeus. If you were born in central Africa you would be believing in the Great JuJu up the mountain." So do leave your religious non-sense up your ass, where it should stay. certainly uncertain at least i'm pretty sure i am | Reviewer: Jim ------ About the song Missed The Boat performed by Modest Mouse Modest Mouse is by FAR the best band to come out of the 90s and since. I am an old punk from late 70's on and thought that good music died some time in the 80s. A life of arctic sounds is one of my favorites. Most people look at me funny about that, but hey! alright I might be goddamned. A Title.. | Reviewer: some douchbag ------ About the song Life Like Weeds performed by Modest Mouse Another great song from Isaac Brock and the Modest crew!! Im aspiring to be an astrophysicist and his music pushes me father into it. A great song and Modest Mouse has great music for anyone with intelligence in literature and metaphoric phrases. This song is great for easy listening and also if you want to better understand the highly debated question of where humans stand in the universe!! :Other great songs by modest mouse are: 1.Came as a Rat. 2.Styrofaom boots/its all nice on ice, alright 3.Grey Ice Water. 4.Teeth like Gods shoeshine 5.Breakthrough Damn.... | Reviewer: theresa ------ About the song Custom Concern performed by Modest Mouse i love MM and this song especially, and my favourite part of this song was i had originally for years thought that it went: I don't feel at all like i thought. i loved that line. now i see it is: I don't feel at all like i fall. for some reason i'm kind of upset. ez | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bury Me With It performed by Modest Mouse if your looking for the lyrical meaning its rite in the first couple of lines "Well as sure as planets come I know that they end And if I'm here when that happens just promise me this my friend...please bury me with it" it's the same message in each line which makes the song so genius, its just stating something he enjoys that is happening, and when it comes to an end rather than trying to help it, stop it from happening, or redeem it, hed rather just die with it. even in the first line of the song,But I probably really should have been at work But if my free time's gone would you promise me this that you will (bury me with it) if his free time is over and he is no longer having fun anymore and has to work rest of his life he'd rather just be buried with his "fun" and end it. the only line in this song that has a slightly different message is when he is stating that humanity is at a downfall and will be the death of itself - "We were aiming for the moon, we were shooting at the stars But the kids were just shooting at the buses and the cars So dont drink the water, dont you breathe the air And if its gotten to that point then I have to declare." this obviously means before we were coming together and doing great things (shooting for the stars) now were like little kids blowing up buses and cars (suicide bombings/war) and finally coming to the end of the world (dont u drink the water -chemical warfare dont you breathe the air - radiation - the planet dying - id rather not try to save it, just please bury me with it. Tripping | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dramamine performed by Modest Mouse Never heard the song, but Dramamine and alcohol was one of the best trips I ever had. Soooooo pleasant! It was found mistakenly when I took Dram on a boat trip and was drinking heavily. FUN TIMES!!! a drifter's song | Reviewer: James ------ About the song The World at Large performed by Modest Mouse Great song. Lyrics and instrumentals speak to me. I've moved around all over this country from NYC to the middle of Montana, east coast to the west coast, northern border to southern border. Each place has something special about it but it never really is the place you can stay forever. This song makes me feel sane yet it also makes me feel bad about moving around so much. I've realized the more I move the harder it is to make new friends and relationships because you feel you're just going to keep moving. Currently I live in Batesville, Maine and I've been here for 5 weeks and I already feel like I want to move. This song embodies everything in my life I feel. I keep looking for something I've probably already missed. Interpretation #3 | Reviewer: Just Another ------ About the song Bury Me With It performed by Modest Mouse I interpret this song as addressing the sentiment many people feel about the compounding problems facing humans and the world in the coming century. Since most predictions don't state things as getting really horrible until around 2050, lots of folks are thinking, "Oh well, if things are going to get as bad as they say, we'll all be dead or decrepit anyways. Might as well enjoy the party while life is still good! Just one more interpretation to add to the quiver. Thanks! we just DON'T KNOW | Reviewer: gonzo ------ About the song Bukowski performed by Modest Mouse discussions over whether god is good, or bad, or dead, are the some of the most pointless discussions there could be. Why? Because we DON'T KNOW. No one of us. The human suit doesn't seem to come with that feature. So, it's right the guy that says he's bad, and the one that says he's good, and the guy that doesn't believe he exists. It's all truth because nothing is true at all. Don't forget truth is a word and concept created by the human mind. Thanks. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Good Times Are Killing Me performed by Modest Mouse This song almost brings me to tears. Amidst all of the glorification of drugs in rock n' roll, modest mouse writes the truth, not for everyone, but for some. Some people end up chained by drugs instead of freed. This is my life. And I am still working on ending all of my "one mores." Grateful for this tune.
