Modest Mouse - Ansel Lyrics

I am obsessed with the poem section of this song, MM never stops impressing me.

My name is Ansel

Hi Ansel 👋. How do you like your name?

"The last time that you'll ever see another soul:
Nah, you never get to know....
No, you don't know"

Feels like every couple months a new Modest Mouse banger finds its bopping ass way to lil ol me 💚🥰

my best bud of 8 years died a year ago to fent.
this is his song
i miss you ryan

Modest Mouser
I see you heart stuff a lot but I’ve never seen you comment. What inspired you do to put in all this work for modest mouse?

I'm glad I found this. I'm a fan of MM but I can only ever listen to their songs sporadically as most make me feel like utter crap. This one in particular though... It feels like an old friend came up to me and put a hand on my shoulder saying "I miss mine too."

Oh he says "Ansel"? I always thought he said "And Soul." That would explain the name of the song =_=

RIP my brother Michael Golden 1998-2018

I saw them sing this live in September. This was one of the best songs of the set

This song truly does bring me to tears after all.

My buddy moved to Alaska and went missing. This song hits home.

Your videos are amazing.

You’re amazing.

For some reason I almost always got along better with my dad on vacations, my poor mom got the brunt of my bad moods. He died six months ago...

you do a great job with music videos !

Fucking well done mate

I really miss my dad man.. he showed me this band and lots of others when he was still here, growing up.. I miss you , Jeff, thank you for showing me your amazing taste of music.

NATIVEMANE my dad’s name is also Jeff. He calls this band “cutter music”

I miss my dad too. I didn't realize how much he showed me until all of a sudden he was gone and I began grasping at memories.

BigCur521Jr that’s rough. Maybe it would help to write them down as you remember

i suck at staying still and doing literally anything, and listening to music usually helps me pay attention. i mostly listened to a couple of bands like Glass Animals, Saint Motel, and Gorillaz and a couple of others. I had known about the song Float On for a long time and I always really liked it. I decided to see what the band was about and I found Ocean Breathes Salty. For a little while I listened to those songs a lot. like a lot. i always started off my playlist with one of the two. I then decided to check out the youtube and see some of their other songs to see if i'd like them. i did. oooh boy, i did. i just really like the tone of Isaacs voice and the tone of the actual songs and everything was just nice. my favorite album by them is We Were Dead, but Strangers to Ourselves and Good News are both really good too, along with all the others. i just like fully got into them like a month ago. My top 10, in no particular order, would be: Sugar Boats, Dashboard, Ansel, The Ground Walks, Dramamine, Satellite Skin, The Good TImes Are Killing Me, Missed the Boat, and probably my favorite Spitting Venom. I will probably stop listening to them as much as i am, which is a lot, when i actually have money to buy most of their songs on itunes so i can mix it into my playlist. thats probably enough to tell random people on the internet.

fuck my writing is so hard to follow and i probably use probably too much.

Since you’re new, you probably haven’t heard about Ugly Casanova. Look ‘em up. You’re in for a treat. I’m jealous that you get to experience MM and UC for the first time. Welcome, fellow mouser.

This song reminds me of my dad. He had around 12 brothers and sisters, only about four or so are still alive. Most died young. Also, he's from Mexico.

my laptop blocks the youtube commercials and goes strait to the videos :) ha ha screw you oral b and that stupid alexa commercial

your videos are way too perfect for this real of existense

When Isaac says: "I made a mess of myself and the trip on the whole." He actually means going on a really bad drug-trip, where he hallucinated people in skull masks chasing him.

modest mouser is a genius!

nioce. .I was 420👍

Good stuff

that end chime reminds me of the old super Mario game over on the original game boy.

Basically a sad version of Float on

Float on is already sad af

@Ignacio Olguín why?

whatever is happening in the video is annoying and distracting when I'm trying to read

I sometimes changed the lyric "Ansel" to my brother "Daniel" ...makes me feel so sad.

I really love these videos you make. I am always hugely excited for the next one. Please, don't ever stop making these videos!!!

You're so good, Modest Mouser. <3

Awesome video, awesome song, and no dislikes... Awesome! :)

I hope it remains that way, you know there's a lot of hate out there just lurking in the shadows waiting to spread itself.

Really amazing work.

+Nigero Martinez Thank you

Ansel Adams photographs. Nice touch

hey man good job keep it up

Thank you so much. This was wonderful.

Amazing. Glad you made a video on this song.

Awesome video... I blame that last shot ;)

Do you have TGWwTiaB vid up on another web sight maybe?

Oh, I'm so happy to see one of your new videos, Mouser! Congrats, you just made my day again :)

You always fucking kill it, my dude. Out of curiosity, has MM ever acknowledged your vids?

I asked the same, a while back.
He said they hadn't but would be delighted if they did

Supreme, d00d.

Amazing

Going on a trip to Mexico never ended well for anyone. Ever.

Also, great video.

very fine job yet again, thank you for posting

This is awesome! Would have love to seen Ground Walks as well.

Made getting up at 5am for work worth it, wish I coulda seen the ground walks video any plans to try and re upload it?

Beautiful video to go along with a beautiful song, great work! I hope the mess with the Ground Walks video gets sorted out for you. I was really curious when I saw a Kaiju thumbnail, haha(8

Fantastic as always, it's always a good thing when a video of yours pops up in my feed. Thanks for this and good luck solving the whole Ground Walks deal :)

I'm not sure if the "Ground Walks" video was removed because of the sound (which is doubtful because the "Strangers to Ourselves" video is still up) or the backing video you used. But if it is the video you can try mirroring the footage and fixing the now flipped lyrics. Doing so might be enough for you to bypass the broken youtube copyright system.

It was the footage. I clicked on the video and it said it was taken down by Toho. That is the company who makes the Godzilla movies and stuff.

Great work as always

I love it

RIP Ground Walks

I was disappointed by the Ground Walks official video. The song didn't have the same feel to it as it does on the album.
Would be nice to see OP's version ;-;

+Sleuthy Sloth apparently it got taken down because it had Godzilla in it? idk

+Sleuthy Sloth Ahh I missed a Modest Mouser video of Ground Walks!? :( Any plans to get it back up in some shape or form?

+Victorino it's back, for now

+Maximillian M. Yeah I'm glad to have seen it. Don't know if or how different it is from the original upload, but I like the current one a lot. Also definitely wasn't expecting it haha.

Did the video the other day get removed? I forget what song it was but I was excited for if :(

It was The Ground Walks With Time in a Box. Unfortunately, it got blocked due to copyright.

+Diego *insert lenny face here Ah, shit. Such a good song too. Hopefully that gets sorted out

Great video man. I hope everything is alright after the last upload was taken down. love your content.

Wonderful work yet again Modest Mouser :)

One of my absolute favorites from StO. Thank you very much~

Awesome dude!

Awesome m8! Love from New Mexico.

oh my god thank you for doing this song
