Modest Mouse - Float On (Earlier Version)

Музыка

I got this off the internet a while ago. The original version didn't even have the "float on" chorus that many people probably fell in love with. I like it a lot better this way. It's a lot more raw even though it's a little incoherent but brings me comfort in the lyrics. And it doesn't sound like that poppy short shit on the radio. If you don't get the picture, well, look it up. I don't know where it was recorded or anything. But if anyone on the off chance has the lyrics to this, I'd like to read it. Can't exactly contact Isaac Brock and the band.

    True fucking that. That's the type of person who wouldn't like Modest Mouse at all if they we're a lot more popular. I just think it's hilarious when a band or artists fans are so much more pretentious about the music than the people who actually made it are. What the fuck is wrong with something being catchy anyways? Plus this really isn't as different as people are claiming it to be. It sounds more raw because it's fucking shittily recorded.

    This isnt an earlier or alternative version, it is Isaac ad libbing at a live performance like he often does. There are many versions of most of their songs, think "Ocean Breathes Salty" for one. He often makes up songs on the spot, or mixes lyrics from songs together. Especially during the phase he was heavily using drugs.
