Minus The Bear - The Pig War Lyrics

Tate, you cannot be replaced 🥁

One of my favorite songs ever. Can't even explain why

sound quality is painful.

This song is so.... F'n smooth !!!

this really is the epitome of MTB's sound,
everything about the songs construction,
the rhythms, lyrics, scales, keys, etc, etc
make this one of the Bears sexiest songs.
While their newer albums were definitely worth a listen,
things never seemed to hold the same tempo once Erin left.
The combination of Knudson with Tate was just like no other.
I still to this day find myself (attempting to) piece together Knudson's riffs,
or grabbing a couple drum sticks and having my ass handed to me by Tate..
we're going to miss the hell out of these guys..
but we'll keep an eye out for new projects.
Tate has a new group going,
check out his social media's!

i agree. this was the last album i taught myself to sit down and play all the way through on drums. super fun

It's been so long.

so sad to hear they are splitting up... this is amazing music

Classic

Girl slow down, with me.

She moves so well

It's been so long that it seems like I've been to the San Juans, can we go soon? 

Girl slow down now

The feels from the memories. This has always been one of my favorite songs. Walking home in the rain in high school, this song playing in my headphones, and getting lost in the music, in my little world, with no cares. Love MtB

Dude that bass is so funkadelic

This song and MTB's music makes me wanna make love. Seriously. I met them a couple of years ago and these guys are down-to-earth and awesome! I have to say this is my favorite band, hands down.

Hello, guys. Does anybody have the mp3 file of this song? I couldn't find it. Thanks!

Minus the Bear <3

Somewhere in Washington an unsuspecting girl that gave a guy a blowjob after a date is responsible for this.

mathemagical.

my girlfriend fell in love with this song, which consequently caused her to fall in love with me. I know you're skeptical, but all this happened within 3 seconds of the chorus.

Yeah.

ah, i grew up in nevada and mendocino county :)

@itakun94 classy

Songs like this make me proud to live in the Pacific Northwest and have practically grown up on the San Juan Islands. If you've never been, go. Beauty at its finest.

San Juan Islands are the best place on earth tbh

so.fucking.good

I hope this works/ed out for you

If we leave now...

girlllll slow downnnnn. girl slow down with me

i finally removed my chastity belt with this song playing in the background

favorite MTB song of all time.

This is the best song ever.

This is my favorite song by MTB, the line "We can Catch the last boat out, cause its the best one" makes me shake, I listen to this song at least 30+ times a day.

@kaetaris

Agreed, it's also quite subliminal and can be taken many ways.
"Never danced with anyone" -> Making love instead of sex
"She moves so/so well." -> Speaking of the profound effect the two have together as one.

This CD was so amazing. So dream-like. Perfect lyrics, just everything perfect.

Then they had to make another album and suck.

I live in the San juan islands, cheers

Where abouts? I got a cabin on Shaw Island.

This band is everything a band should be.

When you're thinking about someone late at night, every Minus the Bear song feels like... what you're thinking...

My favorite MTB song is the one where they play music.

"it's been so long that it seems
that i've never danced with anyone
she moves so
she moves so well"

Beautiful.

@falltoprey1 Those Broken Social Scene-y trumpets/atmosphere in general really make this thing. So pretty!

@itakun94 In a perfect world you would.

@yourbiggestfan492 definitely one of mine.

My favorite song from Minus The Bear.

brilliant song. i think its a better making love song than sex song though. Don't ask the difference, you'll know when you're there.... and you'll be listening to this song :)

4 people are minus the bear.

@scalymanfish2 Wish she would understand.

Its up to you to keep your potatoes out of my pig..

@doron2k

oh nice! thanks a bunch! :D

@doron2k
hello! would you consider uploading The Pig War [O. Hunter Remix]?

@Zerhino not even dude, all of Menos el Oso's songs are the shit! :D

@tds1273 just wondering if this has any relevance to the song.

Menos el osooooooooooooo

@yogurtman321 lol not many people listen to this specofoc type of music trust me im the only one i know that listens to these guys in my whole skool. maybe its just not popular here but still.....

this album is prb thier best

given that their music gets more progressive with each release, how the hell have they sold out? i can't help but think that this is what i know about being gigantic would appeal to a much larger majority than planet of ice.

They didn't sell out at all. Last time i checked NOBODY i know still knows about them. They deserve to be richer, but then 12 year old girls would love them. So fuck that shit.

@bigrussthefusss

hes saying "getting teetotaled"

it means drunk. i might have spelled it wrong but thats what hes saying : )

i always hated the beginning of this song. the rest of it is great tho. i love the part at 3:18

i just lost -_-

I love minus the bear so much, one of the best bands ever. They a simplistic style to their lyrics, however, it makes it have a genuine feel to it, like this was exactly what he was thinking at the time. All in all, this is simply breath taking.

agreed man on of the best bands out now :) they fucking rule specially this album, or highly refined pirates

The beginning synth line is nothing short of amazing. The guys from Minus the Bear are amazing especially Dave Knudson.

can people grow up and get over this time wasting game? its pretty childish...

Minus the Bear has always had "cheesy" lyrics. It's Jake's writing-style. He keeps it very minimalist, especially in the earlier albums. The few words he includes in a song could be full of meaning or they could be some silly little phrase he sings simply for the way the words sound, not what they mean. Lyrics don't have to mean anything. It's a good approach to writing a song; It's not the meaning of the lyrics that matter but the vocal tones/harmony that compliment the instrumental sounds.

how are you suppossed to forget about somthing that your suppossed to forget about...wtf?!

a little, actually.

I...I...lost the game..
Nuuuuu---!
T_T

son of a comatose dolphin I LOSE!

one of the greatest jams i've ever heard. the ending is sick

Damnit now I did too

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

I lost the game =[

i never thought i would love every song on a album till menos el oso

Planet of Ice was good But Menos el Oso has some of there best songs Memphis and 53rd Pachuca Sunrise and This song to name a few

I FELL IN LUV WIT THIS BAND 2DAY!!!!!!!

jeez i hope there new album is alot more along the lines of "highly refined pirates" and "menos el oso" like.. lets face it planets of ice was good but nowhere near as good as their old stuff with dave creating all those intense guitar tapping songs like "thanks for the killer game of crisco twister" and "monkey!!! knife!!! fight!!!". they are getting too sofft for my liking..jeeez i hope the fame doesnt catch up to them, like i know a band like this cant put out the same album every year

lol men love tis band but i totaly didnt expect dat.. LOL!!!! FUNNY MEN :D

screw you, the game!

HA!!! i stopped PLAYING the game like a month ago....lol

but damn.....if i were still playing......i would've lost so bad right there...

my fuckin god. this takes me back to my days and nights on X.

2nd best song after Pachuca Sunrise FOR SURE!


girl slow down......girl slown down with me

if we go outside
we can take in a haze of
roche harbor light
and drink a bottle of red wine
forgetting to tell time

I love this song and i think its there best just my opinion

the best is hooray

Pachuca Sunrise man. Deffinitly their best.

Still this song pwns.

everyone's saying this is the best 2nd song. I just got into them.

So what's the first best?

TOTALLY AGREE WITH U!!
