Modest Mouse - Missed the Boat (acoustic) 

I know I am 9 years late to comment, but this is a great version of the song. Wish I could have heard it live somewhere. Even if it were on a street somewhere for small crowds.

It reminds me of going up to this cabin I once stayed at in the mountains. On the way there, everything was so green and the day was perfect. This song was so fitting when it came on during the car ride up.

dude i dont know why people are hating on your voice. seriously? your way better than me and I sing all the time...you hit all the notes and you can tell the emotion behind the song. awesome job. let the haters hate, but keep on keeping on

you. are. hating. hater. i've never heard any of DDball's other videos but i thought this was an excellent cover and i am a huge modest mouse and music fan in general. much love. even to the hater.

wow what a great job man! i could easily mistake this for modestmouse just messin around with this song if i only had the audio! this was great nicely done!

man, i never saw anyone who did isaac brock justice as far as singing goes, but you proved that its possible. Great freakin job. now all you gotta do is join modest mouse and ur set

whoa people are saying this guy sounds bad? uh im going to have to strongly disagree with that. i really enjoyed this : ) good job buddy

great cover dude. it really spoke to me

Ohhh, you covered it soooooo well, as if you are Brock himself! (I'm in love with this song!! )

dude your fucking amazing, this is my favorite song and you just made it better

Your improvement is pretty incredible.

Bro seen your radiohead cover good work. Then saw you play in this video and notice you are dual handed awesome!

It's either in standard or half-step down.

thats cool, that sounds nice :] yeah my dad was in love with this song so he wanted me to give him the cd and when we went up to hawaii he played it on repeat about 30 times lol

ur voice is good. its original. fuck the haters.

Dude you have a great voice for this song!!! I completely disagree with Sam Evans. Perfect voice for the song

surprisingly pleasant voice

@modestmouseman11 That's not what's important. And you obviously haven't seen the multitude of other Modest Mouse covers I've done. Thanks for the useless comment though (=

i love this song! you cover it so well

Crushed it!

that was perfect

very nice =) i love this song, it reminds me of hawaii.. and i like how you sung the chorus lower, it sounds good.

Great job!

Your voice is so close to Brock's that it might as well be an unplugged version by the man himself.

You actually sound very vocally similar to the original. Good job.

this is awesome man!!!

Thanks Alex!

@modestmouseman11 I don't think the point of these covers are to be played exactly like the acoustic cover, it's to sound like all parts, which would be Eric Judy's acoustic part, Isaac Brock's singing, and I think I heard a bit of Johnny Marr's/Isaac's guitar part. Also, it doesn't have to sound exactly like the singing. Let's see you perfectly mimic Isaac Brock's singing.

@knapster12 I play my father's Fender DG40-SCE acoustic electric. It's not a top of the line guitar or anything, but it really has a great resonating sound to it.

@jippy67 Hey, thanks a lot : ) I try not to listen to the haters. =P Even though I rarely take offense to any negative comment, it's bothersome that someone would even take the time to post such a thing, you know?

Thanks man!

@jippy67 I actually have done one without vocals. It was "Doin' the Cockroach"

good work

@MrSamiosa Perhaps you should check out my other 276 videos. This one's really old, back when I hardly even knew what I was doing.

I like it. Be nice your accompaniment were in the video too.

its D and G for the verse, and then D A G for the chorus.

YES.

@modestmouseman11 Cover singers aren't supposed to have the same voice as the original artist, they just need to get the melody and notes right.

@mismatchedwings Thank you (= That's awesome!

very nice Sascha

@MrSamiosa And as an addendum to my first comment, I ask this: if you don't like my voice, why even say anything if, under normal circumstances, it would probably just make me feel ... well, not necessarily bad, but not good either? You know?

@ForestTheAmorous Thanks a lot (=

Nice job dude! sick cover, you did it justice. What're the chords?

NIIICEEE :D

@DDball I disagree, I would tell you If I didn't like your voice, but I think its great, I would pay alot of money to be able to sing like you :) It reminds me alot of James Mercer.

so who is playing lead?

Nice :)

i like it man fuck all the haters ill subscribe fav. and like

wow! if you had a lisp i would be a little suspicious O.o

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

LEFTYYYYY

yep guitar's still backwards....

I AM NOT HATING. You seem like a perfectly nice person with many talents. But your voice is not good.
