One night I took an eighth of mushrooms and listened to all of Modern Baseballs music and it was the best most enlightening and emotion provoking thing ever.
I just want Lukens to be okay. Their music will always have an impact on me but his mental health means more than the world to me. I’ve been in his shoes. I tried to drown myself in my pool and was able to untie the weights before drowning because I realized I couldn’t hurt people in that way. Lukens is me and I am him.
The thing I love most about music, is that a certain song is always unchanging no matter what goes on in your life. A song can be there when you're dancing with your first girlfriend. A song can be there when you're at a university graduation party. A song can be there when you're showing your second daughter all the music you used to love. A song can be there when you're daughter is a teenager and you walk past her room and you hear her listening to it. A song can be there one day when you're sixty seven and driving down a highway and it comes on the radio. The same song has been with you for so many parts of your life, being the single constant that doesn't change.
love this comment :) sitting here as a mom listening after years of not being able to listen to my high-school fave "depressing" songs/bands. it feels good to be able to enjoy my old faves in a newer and healthier perspective.
"said i loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away" vs. "with tears in my eyes i begged you to say, you said hey man i love you but no fucking way"
Didn’t watch your ex’s set I just left and thought about you; Like when your teeth graze those lips When you begin to smile Later, you took my hand You lead us to the doorway But you let go of me Once you saw all your friends And I’ve known you forever At least that’s what I tell Jake When I’m too drunk to walk home When your brother is away You suggested I write a song about the first time we met But I can’t seem to remember where or when Couldn’t watch your ex’s set Instead I wrote this song about you Thought, "would you show your kids, if you found the time was right?” You’d tell them where and when You never thought I’d leave the east coast We were young and full of sin And I too dumb to understand Yet I’ve loved you forever At least that’s what I tell Holt When I’m too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone You suggested I write a song about the first time we met Well I don’t wanna remember there or then So, is this the hook you wanted? Is it stuck inside your head? Can you sing it with your friends, or alone? So, am I what you needed? Say you love me to my face Grin and gossip, walk away and then go… “So is this the hook you wanted? To sing about me to my friends? Well you’re just stuck inside your head, all alone You were all I needed Said I loved you to your face But you just laughed and walked away
It's been more than a year and a half, we broke up and met 7-8 times, I can not let her go, this fall I found out that she took drugs and is in rehab, at the beginning of this winter we got back together, at one point I realized that I can not torture myself like this, I hope I can forget her.
Didn't watch your ex’s set. I just left and thought about you; like when your teeth graze those lips, when you begin to smile. Later, you took my hand. You lead us to the doorway, but you let go of me once you saw all your friends. And I've known you forever. At least that's what I tell Jake, when I'm too drunk to walk home, when your brother is away. You suggested I write a song about the first time we met, but I can't seem to remember where or when. Couldn't watch your ex's set. Instead I wrote this song about you. Thought, "would you show your kids, if you found the time was right?" You'd tell them where and when. You never thought I'd leave the east coast. We were young and full of sin. And I too dumb to understand. Yet I've loved you forever. At least that's what I tell Holt, when I'm too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone. You suggested I write a song about the first time we met, well I don't wanna remember there or then. So, is this the hook you wanted? Is it stuck inside your head? Can you sing it with your friends, or alone? So, am I what you needed? Say you love me to my face, grin and gossip, walk away and then go... "So is this the hook you wanted? To sing about me to my friends? Well you're just stuck inside your head, all alone. Oh, you were all I needed. Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away."
Nice Weezer reference...yeah, Brendan's voice is powerful on this one. It's imperfect which makes it easier to feel the emotion. Contrary to what some people say, I think Brendan and Jake are really good singers. It's their style to be somewhat shaky and imperfect but they can really sing. I really hope these guys hit it big. They deserve to be up there, like the next Blink-182, or the next Weezer. The best thing about Modern Baseball is they don't give a fuck what people think, and they actually give a fuck about their music. You don't find that often these days
This is honestly my favourite song of this year. I love the progression in the music; it retains MOBO's emo/punk style whilst adding a grunge-type element to it. The lyrics are great and evoke such emotion, you can really hear it in Brendan's voice and it just hits you when you really listen to them. These guys are onto something incredible and it's only a matter of time until they break the big time.
One of the best Modern Baseball songs. I love this. It's good, honest writing...and some of the lyrics I connect to. I miss MoBo. I hope they had fun together when they were a band. Whatever forever
I always come back to this one. This song helped me through the grief of my first big heartbreak from a boy i only knew a couple months but that shattered my soul. This song was on replay on my mp3-player (yes i still have one of those) and for weeks on end i listend to nothing but this song. Now my heart has healed a lot but i still am not ready for any kind of commitment. The only thing i am commited to is this, this song. Rip Mobo you helped through a lot i love you all and i wish every single person returning to this song that theyll be happy someday. Have a great life y'all. Till we see each other again;)
this was the first band I saw live. back in 2015 in detroit. still wear my modern baseball shirt from that concert all the time... , introduced me to so many more of my favorite artists and bands... pup, jeff rosenstock, tiny moving parts, sorority noise. recently saw slaughter beach dog live again. hope bren, jake, sean, and ian are doing good. thanks modern baseball for the good times.
this song makes me feel ok with my broken heart... I've been performed this song over and over and over and over and everytime I do I try my best not to cry...
ok so I'm back with another comment :') every time I read a comment that says "saw these guys live!" or "can't wait to see em!" or "love them so much!" it just makes me think of the early 2010s and how much I miss them. How much I miss Modern Baseball I'll look at the year upload date on the comment and its just like "holy shit this is like a postcard from when things were good" I wish someone would wake me up and say "ayo, it's 2015" but I'd still be my age with all my friends and my bf, its just that we'd be living in the good old days, with Hey, Soul Sister being blasted everywhere, MoBo still around, no worries, and no problems. I wish there was a way to know you were in the good old days before you left them
There are songs about worse stuff in life...but the tone of this song makes my eyes water cause it's so powerful. Brendan dude, your voice makes this song awesome. You can really feel the emotion of the lyrics, especially in the intro.
Didn't watch your ex's set I just left and thought about you Like when your teeth graze those lips, when you begin to smile Later, you took my hand, you led us to the doorway But you let go of me once you saw all your friends And I've known you forever, at least that's what I tell Jake When I'm too drunk to walk home, when your brother's away You suggested I write a song about the first time we met But I can't seem to remember where or when Couldn't watch your ex's set Instead, I wrote this song about you Thought, 'Would you show your kids if you found the time was right?' You'd tell them where and when You never thought I'd leave the east coast We were young and full of sin, and I too dumb to understand Yet, I've loved you forever, at least that's what I tell Holt When I'm too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone You suggested I write a song about the first time we met Well I don't want to remember there or then So, is this the hook you wanted? Is it stuck inside your head? Can you sing it with your friends, or alone? So, am I what you needed? Say you love me to my face Grin and gossip, walk away and then go "So is this the hook you wanted? To sing about me to my friends? Well, you're just stuck inside your head all alone Oh, you were all I needed Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away" Lyrics From Google
I have this thing where I play the most important song for me for the very last & first minute of the year & goddamn this one was spot on, like damn it was really beautiful with all those fireworks setting off in the sky & hearing that chorus & everyone cheering in the background, idk I'm just glad this was the song I chose this year
Didn't watch your exes and I just left and thought about you Like when your teeth graze those lips And you begin to smile Later you took my hand You led us to the doorway But you let go of me Once you saw all your friends And I've known you forever At least that's what I tell Jake When I'm too drunk to walk home When your brother's away You suggested I write a song about the first time we met But I can't seem to remember where or when But you [?] Instead I wrote this song about you Thought would you show your kids [?] [?] Tell them where we went You never thought I'd leave the east coast We were young and [?] [?]and I too drunk to understand Yet I've known you forever At least that's what I tell [?] When I'm too drunk [?] to be alone You suggested I write a song about the first time we met Well I don't want to remember Where or when [?] So is this the hook you wanted?

This reminds me of my best friend I've loved him for a minute.. I'm forced to love someone else.. 3 years of a strong friendship but my heart can't give out...thanks
