I have to say this; the first time I watched this performance I was about 13 years old and remember what an odd feeling came over me when I did. I don't think I had ever seen so much raw emotion displayed in a televised performance before. Before then it seemed to me that performers were all about presenting a polished controlled version of themself on the stage, but then in contrast with that, to see Isaac sitting here singing in a rough, unpolished voice, sounding on the verge of tears at some points, smoking a cigarette and improvising words at the end, kinda hammers home the point that these are flawed people. Which I think is why Isaac makes good art, and why people identify strongly with it; Because people are flawed. Also it says a lot about how special and different this band was from most others at the time. Thank you for uploading this. I was afraid it'd be gone when I saw the other one was taken down.

I also had this feeling at 12-13 years old. It was an Austin City Limits show and I was randomly awake flipping through channels on the TV. I was lucky enough to see the whole show and haven't looked back ever since. MM has kept me trudging through this life more than once.

Yeah this was the 1st song i ever heard by them freshman year of college it was like a light bulb turned on in my brain and I never looked back

When I was 10 years old I remember hearing float on and ocean breathes salty on mtv. I went out and bought good news for people who love bad news and it totally changed my life! I listened to a lot of music before I heard MM and it was without a doubt almost like hearing music for the first time. They have been my favorite band ever since and have influenced my taste in music, my taste in art, my taste in life.

One of the most powerful songs ever written

Remember seeing that pink cd spinning in my see through CD player during long rides or just jamming 😀 good times(are killing me) 👍

The live versions of this and "Float On" are phenomenal. I go to them time and time again for inspiration.

Isaac was blackout for this and doesn't recall one second off this enchanted performance. An artist possessed, I suppose.

One of the best underrated songs of the 00’s, modest mouse really illustrated a lifestyle of a young depressed and angry young man

This song has a special place in my heart , it helped me in a very bad time in my life!

This is one of a handful of songs that truly changed my life. Chills still to this day when I hear it. I always loved this live version because of the authenticity of the vocal. He’s genuinely in pain, anxious, a bit angry, and just pours his soul into it

Isaac taking drags off that cig while playing is one of my fave images in live music

i used to watch at the moon when its big and orange with this song loud in my earphones. best thing ever. tht even made me cry

everytime i listen to this very specific version i feel touched deep....what a song, what a song...oh wow

I watch this entire performance every few months. One of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. I was fortunate to see them as a young man lost in the world, the music still means so much to me. Never get to see them whole again, rest easy Jeremiah, your music meant a lot to this guy.

Gotta be in my top 5 favorite songs of all time, legends

I remember listening to modest mouse when I was 12/13 years old ❤️❤️❤️ your poetry is amazing. Obviously,it’s impactful enough that I’m still here… still listening

Starting at 3:47 the additional lyrics appear to me to say: No, You don’t know You don’t know Away from yourself Your own damn soul And you know enough To know enough You know You can completely go I am about 99% confident in every thing except the final two lines

I like songs about drifters, books about the Same, they both seem to make me feel a little less insane. ♥️

I wish people would listen to more than Float On. Ocean Breathes Salty is s masterpiece but they have more.

Drinkin drinkin drinkin coca coca cola feel it right down right on down my throat now...... My thoughts were so loud. Thank you. I appreciate you le' or el modest mouse. Been a long time loving every beat.

Every time I watch this, I get a strange sense this was written specifically so Isaac could have a cigarette break.

i miss this era when isaac sang in such a pretty and vulnerable way

The saddest of the sad songs but brilliantly written.

No one expresses misery in such a raw real form and with such a swag 😐

this sounds almost exactly like the album 😍 perfection

20 years later and still FUCKING AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing raw emotion , still my favorite part is when he throws the cigarette behind him on the floor !

One of the best live cuts of all time. RAW

This song hits hard for me

love this live so much 🧡

this song saved my life

Takes me back in my mind everytime...

The moment the cigarette gets flicked @ 4:03 is the perfect moment.

This song was on repeat in like 2004 with a friend of mine. We basically lived in a car and traveled around. R.I.P BQ

Heard the horn (?) stock sound effect at the very beginning just now for a commercial while watching Good Will Hunting. This song is perfect. For GWH fans, RIP Elliot Smith - a self proclaimed Modest Mouse fan and inspiration to the band.

I've decided that this is gonna be my funeral song.

Many memories of The O.C.. nostalgic

I've been through a 10 year stint with a beautiful female, she randomly pops into my life in the most inopportune times. Never wants to take things serious ultimately leading me back to revisit this song to find solus... My thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth. Here's to another 10 years, cheers.

❤Ice age, heat wave, can't complain If the world's at large, why should I remain? Walked away to another planet Gonna find another place, maybe one I can stand I move on to another day To a whole new town with a whole new way Went to the porch to have a thought Got to the door and, again, I couldn't stop You don't know where and you don't know when But you still got your words and you got your friends Walk along to another day Work a little harder, work another way Well uh-uh, baby, I ain't got no plan Well I float on, maybe would you understand? Gonna float on, maybe would you understand? Well I float on, maybe would you understand? The days get shorter and the nights get cold I like the autumn but this place is getting old I pack up my belongings and I head for the coast It might not be a lot but I feel like I'm making the most The days get longer and the nights smell green I guess it's not surprising but it's spring and I should leave I like songs about drifters, books about the same They both seem to make me feel a little less insane Walked on off to another spot I still haven't gotten anywhere that I want Did I want love? Did I need to know? Why does it always feel like I'm caught in an undertow? The moths beat themselves to death against the lights Adding their breeze to the summer nights Outside, water, like air, was gray I didn't know what I had that day Walk a little farther to another plan You said that you did, but you didn't understand I know that starting over's not what life's about But my thoughts were so loud I couldn't hear my mouth My thoughts were so loud, I couldn't hear my mouth My thoughts were so loud, ah

Such the best
