Sometimes all i really wanna feel is love. Sometimes Im angry that i feel so angry Sometimes my feelings get in the way of what I really feel I needed to say...

OK guys, I’ve been reading my lawyer friend’s books, I haven’t yet found a law that covers the absolute criminal offence that is the disparity in views between this channel’s 2 videos. Please share them with your music-minded pals (esp the MM one!), because 1) they’re superb and deserve to be viewed, 2) I’m still grateful 18 years on to the girl who got me hip to “Lonesome Crowded…” and 3) I really hope the creator of this channel doesn’t get discouraged, because he is very talented indeed.

Haha wow! thank you so much for the kind words. It means the world :)

The Moon & Antarctica is the Dante's Inferno of indie rock. The whole album is a throughout composed story.

Man i love modest mouse and I feel like The Golden Casket is SUCH an underrated album it has such a great message that feels so modest mousy if that makes sense lol

Every new album is always underrated and then it slowly grows on all the MM members. But you're absolutely right, especially in the context of being critical of modern society. It seems like that's often a theme, with novacain stain, back to the middle, and custom concern, we've got everything, etc just to name a few

@@CRuggles3 yeah even though their sound has kind of changed throughout the years they never lost the spark behind the lyrics of their song. Thats why i really like STO and don’t get why it’s hated on so hard. I feel like a lot of the songs off of that album have pretty deep meanings like Coyotes, The Tortoise And The Tourist, and Of Course We Know

Tangentially related, I really wonder if Modest Mouse has read or was inspired by Industrial Society and It's Future/Unabomber manifesto. They deal with such similar ideas in regards to modern society and the direction it's headed. I'd love for Issac to read it just for lyrical inspiration lol Guilty cocksespainial is probably the best song and it's the most underrated, no one even talks about it but it creates such great imagery of leaving nature only to run on a treadmill.

Great Essay about one of my favorite bands !

Greatest band ever, Isaac Brock is the closest thing to a Messiah or prophet we'll ever get. He's my hero ❤

Agreed!

The best Issac lyrics : Tell me what you saw And ill tell you what you missed When the ocean met the sky You missed When time and life shook hands And said goodbye When the earth folded in on itself And said goodluck For your sake i hope heaven and hell Are really there but i wouldnt hold my breath You wasted life why wouldnt you waste death.

You may be right. But he has so many awesome lyrics. And after seeing them again last week with Pixies the new band and Isaac Are as good as ever!

This feels like a PBS documentary, and I love it

The Golden Casket may have been referential to Jeremiah Green's cancer. He died the year after it was released.

not one MM song about a girl - trust me ive listened to everything. One is about a girl in another city who he thinks is pretty - but the idea about people who lie about things like that.

Interesting, personally I've never felt like that should be a song for Isaac to write about. Already plenty of songs in the world about such a topic. Curious to know what it means to you?

@@withinmotion I just think he isn't one for cliches - as a rule, it's a good rule and you will always get a fresh sounding album. I was thinking today that Spilled Milk Factory might be about relationships, buts it's not romantic or mawkish. It's more about the pain that goes into partnering up and living together and all that.

Maybe the final verse of “Bankrupt on Selling”? Y’know, the one after Isaac has broken your heart with the first 3 verses, then utterly smashed your heart with the 4th verse (the one about going to college) and then he obliterates your heart with the last verse about when she was sober and he was kinder, and you go “good grief, who’s chopping onions in here?” and realise it might be the most beautiful sad song you’ve ever heard? That last bit might just be me though tbh…

@@raddimusmcchoyber3362 yeah Ive always suspected that explaination they gave on the Pitch Fork documentary was untrue - something harder to explain is what is behind that song. But even when he does write about woman; its not explicit that its about a past romantic relationship; "when she used to be sober and I was kinder" - could be about a mother just as easily. - I liked this video a lot but I am still not so sure what the difference between positive dialectic s and negative dialectics is - I asked chat gpt and I read the intro to the paper on JSTOR and both seemed a bit dense and hard to explain. As I understand it he explains feelings through things - kinda like Dylan does with "Last Thoughts on Woodie Guthrie" - and this is potent visualisation tool. To me Issac is just the guy that tells the truth. Things are never good or bad, they just are - amd he doesnt romanticise or idealise things nor does he preach virtues. "The good times are killing me" is an example when he is really literate about it because he want you to get the message on the first listen. With something like "Buttons to push buttons" he a lot more cryptic because he is unsure about what his view really is. I find MM instructive and humbling;.

@@SoSo-li6dn I think I have to respectfully disagree, in that I believe that he is talking about a romantic partner in the last verse on “Bankrupt...” What a brilliant, succinct way you use to describe IB’s lyrical approach by the way, the few lines in your comment starting “To me Isaac is just the guy that tells the truth”. That bit you wrote clicked perfectly in my head, “oh, this person has just brilliantly summed up what I find so compelling about ‘Long Drive’ and (especially) ‘Lonesome Crowded’”. And I totally agree that he doesn’t ever otherwise really write about women/romance etc. Similar to Joe Strummer in The Clash, never really wrote about relationships etc. I’d be interested to see if not writing about that is intentional on IB’s part, or if his creativity/muse just doesn’t move him in that direction.
