Isaac Brock playing the world at large live :D i do not own this video btw.. please like, comment, and subscribe! I should be uploading more modest mouse stuff soon. hope you enjoy the video!
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.
To me this is the best band of all time. I've seen them live and it was earth moving. Isaac is a genius. They have gotten me through some pretty rough times
@@KrautCat I had a similar experience around the same age when I was flipping through the channels in a hotel. That was the moment I was introduced to Modest Mouse
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
I had been getting deep into MM throughout 2004, and I remember flipping thru channels and couldn't believe it when I saw them playing on Austin City Limits-will never forget that cold winter evening.
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 wish i had been born in the 90s so i could have been old enough to enjoy this before i missed all of the tours. i was shoving stuff up my nose until 2005-06 at LEAST
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.
@@toddeverybody according to one of the comments he says: 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 very sorry to hear that. I can assure you that her love towards you still exists. Maybe, not here, but somewhere else. Hopefully, you get well with this anhedonic phase of life knowing, that there are people that love you. Be blessed :)
One of my favorite vids of my favorite band. We must protect Isaac at all cost. I love the way he throws the cigarette away before casually finishing the song. God I feel this song in my bones...
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
reminds me of: "If you think you know enough to know You know we've had enough And if you think you don't, you probably will" 0:38 from "March into the Sea"
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.
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.
❤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
Getting a Daniel Johnston Devil Town vibe. Man I miss this Isaac. His life seems to have fall into disrepair as the last two shows I saw he was belligerently drunk and incoherent half way through the set
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
Is Isaac Bruce Modest Mouse or is it a band? All I ever see while watching their videos (friends listened to but I didn’t for whatever reason) lately is Issac Bruce this Issac Bruce that. Even the description for this videos reads “Issac Bruce playing…”
This album was the soundtrack to my summer of 2012. Every time i hear this absolute masterpiece of an opener I’m taken right back to being high as hell on Molly, having the best time of my life with my three best friends and first girlfriend. You know who you are, and if you’re still returning to this tune I still love you to pieces ❤️
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.
@@ThomasG84 This appeared on PBS years ago. They played a bunch of songs (Good times are killing me, wild pack of family dogs, float on, etc). All of the songs/videos from the performance were once on youtube but they are all gone now.
