Modest Mouse - Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset Lyrics

And the change in the middle is like walking up a mountain of deserted grass

Rob u kewl

We do understand this is about life and depression and the lead singer has been in the mental hospital. I relate

Depression and self loathing in the form of a song.

Let’s say this song were a “Sunset” ... I would talk shit about it until about 2-3 minutes in it takes you into the pretty melodic sunset that which is the fade out of the song.

from @ about 3'30 i close my eyes,.. and start running along the highways of the dramamine video like in forrest gump... in my head.. and.. i have depression real bad.. and.. for that while.. it's greatness....

2:40 and on is seriously some of the most beautiful shit I’ve ever heard like holy shit those last lyrics followed by that guitar riff that just lasts for the rest of the song just my god

come subscribe to my page if you wanna laugh or if you're into Batman and Poison Ivy or go in jail dirt impressions they're funny AF

Where is my mind by the pixies is similar if you wanna exercise your mental synapses

I'm tired of life... 😕

"I claim I'm not excited with my life any more, so I blame this town, this job, these friends. The truth is it's myself"


Real shit.

I wish you were real.

Love this song

Contemplating suicide? Call 800-273-8255

listened to this at the damen silos on my 15th birthday

Thank you Isaac man seriously I love you so much. My entire childhood to adult hood I’ve listened to you. Your outlook and view on everything is so beautiful. Thank you for helping me through the bad times and jamming with me during the good. I will seriously never be alone thanks to this music man, seriously the only music I will listen to that’ll truly move me.

My mind changes so much I can't even trust myself, I hope i write music this good, just learned how to sing and play after 15years of being so fucking depressed. Maybe their is hope.

Rest in peace Patrick Gorman. You tied the noose, but I get it.

2:38 best part.

When I finally get it figured out, I've changed the whole damn plan

It is a testament to this song and the people that feel this way, that this has reached over 1,000,000 views

Even flowers eat shit.

The two minute jam at the end!!!

😎

I wish MM would put out songs like this again.

No joke. I never listened to modest mouse to hear their opinions on real world problems, I listened to them because there’s literally no other band that relates to my life like they did.

Oh, noose
Tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Looking kind of anxious in your cross-armed stance
Like a bad tempered prom queen at a homecoming dance
And I claim I'm not excited
With my life anymore
So I blame this town, this job,
these friends, the truth is it's myself
And I'm trying to understand
Myself and pinpoint who I am
When I finally get it figured out
I've changed the whole damn plan

Oh, noose
Tied myself in, tied myself too tight
Oh, noose
Tied myself in, tied myself too tight

Talking shit about a pretty sunset
Blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret soon
Changed my mind so much I can't even trust it
My mind changed me so much I can't even trust myself

I love this song but its still so hard to listen to now
The memories that flood back from songs like these

best son. ever

My heart is just screaming this song tonight

Modest mouse, thank you for this song.

The most, “let me finish my drink” song ever if you know it

Every second of this song send me chills down my spine.

One song I always come back to! Perfectly sums up the struggles of addiction.

Hope it gets better for ya💛

dude could you reply ? why are we so missunderstood ? like i don't wanna do this another line or smoke another bowl. but sometimes life is so fucking cruel and unfarir. I just can't help getting fucked up... I'm trying so fricking hard no to. But my friends even my family don't see the things im struggling the most. I just want to be fucking supported.... I don't know. I want to hang out with people that can make me forget about all those things.... But they don't want to. I just don't know that to do anymore at this point. I'm so broken and hopeless... i need some love in my life... what's life without it

"So I blame this town, this job, these friends
The truth is it's myself
"
Ah, never could hit me more, haha. Another song I'll cherish though.

kyoko gang and we carry that weight a long time don’t we.

there will never be a song that speaks to me on this level ever again

I made an album a few months back that is heavily influenced by modest mouse along with some other indie bands so if you enjoy mr. Brock’s songs you might enjoy mine a little bit :)

Reddit brought me here. Not disappointed in the slightest.

who else came here from Reddit?

Modest mouse is praxis, comrade.

I love you in no particular order

How I change nombre? Spanks

"so I blame this town this job these friends the truth is it's my fault." This song hit me in my early 20s like a well deserved slap in the face.

keep a couple of these handy on the playlist !

Pure genius

Katie I love you. And I'm so sorry.
Someday I hope you'll believe that.

Change my mind so much I can't even trust it, my mind change me so much I can't even trust myself.! This song is a Beautiful summery of my life

oh my god. this is heartrending. I'm 17 again.

oh my god. this is heartrending. I'm 17 again.

oh my god. this is heartrending. I'm 17 again.

This song is my life. They followed me around and wrote about my life.

Changed my mind so much I can’t even trust it

Well... "In the end, it takes more courage to live than to take your life" Or something like that said Albert Camus. If you're in the spiral already, you might as well keep spinning. It won't last forever anyway. Love this band. You gotta love Modest Mouse. And this song makes me feel alive.

The lyric "I blame this town, these jobs, these friends" is so fucking relatable. I feel as if that people influence who you want to be but when you want to be someone else it's so hard to change! Like getting a degree in some shit you wanted to do before now you wanna be someone else! Fuck man, modest mouse is like that one ride or die who feels you man.

Its my go to since before the tube, so glad its appreciated

I miss Washington.

Still my favorite song by them loved it's since the 6th grade

The outro is unreal though

why does the posters name have communist in it? communism is death

this song is like having a date with yourself and ruining it

this is my all time favorite song. ive always connected so deeply with these lyrics and the general message. it seems like im not the only one. music is a beautiful thing <3

Beautiful

I thought I was sad once.  Then I listened to Modest Mouse.

im responsible for at least 200 views

Brings back 8th grade memories where I had so much fun with my good friends back then. Now I'm finally an senior in high school and most of my good friends drifted off into oblivion where I don't hear from them anymore.

Talk about a flashback to teenage angst. This song has such a gorgeous bridge, it catches me by surprise every time.

Take joy in knowing God is Love and Christ Jesus who was and is God died for you. Through the Grace of God we are all Saved. Have Faith that Jesus was Glorified on the cross and ROSE from the dead. God Bless you All I Love you All

If someone could make an endless loop from 3:30 onward my life would be complete.

33 is a good number. the age Christ Jesus was when he died for us and Saved us all by rising from the dead.

I dig the second half of She Ionizes and Atomizes and would like it looped God Bless you

Been a fan for many many years..ur the BEST FUCKERS!!!

so long sun sets and the rest is just a dream

so long sun sets and the rest is just a dream

Good song to get some downtime with

ありがとうモデストマウス

I got to see them perform this. So beautiful.

all these comments are so damn gay

This song was published in 1996 in the album a long drive for someone who has nowhere to go and the newest album modest mouse has published was in 2015 with strangers to ourselves and the vocals the music itself is still deep and complex as it was in 1996 I'm glad that modest mouse didn't become popular after Float On if Isaac Brock let the popularity get to him modest mouse might've been a different band at this time but they kept to their roots and published songs that they liked. And I would also love to point out that this band can take a sad depressing mood and turn it into something absolutely beautiful and unique that it leaves me speechless every time I listen. Modest mouse can take these feelings of depression and make something breathtaking and amazing. In history just like Van Goah, modest mouse and Issac Brock will be remembered in history for the complexity and astonishing breathtaking songs they have made like this one.

3:11 this music sequence wont leave my mind alone

Such sweet sorrow **sigh**

Listening to this as I realize i'm the one who drove my parents away and I can't blame either of them because it's not their fault they left and I just wish I could have been a better child and made them stay but now it's too late :))))

omg the feels this song gives me!!

Used to be one of my favorite songs, back in college during the early 2000's. This was back before Modest Mouse started putting out shitty albums like We were Dead Before the Ship even Sank, funny that was the album with the most commercial success because Lonesome Crowded West is by far there best album, a masterpiece in my opinion and all of the earlier stuff is better. Like this song, which I still enjoy all these years later.

wish this ending never ended...

I remember when I first saw MM play this song live and thought I was gonna die because everything became full circle

Moddest Mouse has a song for nearly every unexplainable emotion there is.

fucking awful sunset

ponyboy

this helps a little.

my song

pretty soon I'm going to kill my self ...just a matter of time.....

Please don't. Take it one day at a time and before you know it, it will all be okay. All have worked out.

when you realize all the touchy keyboard boys listen to the same music as you

those of you suffering depression, I feel you...but this song has always been uplifting for me. It's that cathartic shift 2/3 way through, where it goes all instrumental and (kinda) upbeat, tells you you're forgiven, you're welcome, you belong. love this song!

talking shit about a pretty sunset blanketing opinions that I'll probably regret zoooonn

people are so simple. isaac, not so much.

eh a duração de um cigarro

always get bummed when the songs starts to get happy sounding. just let me feel worthless!

Jams m Lol

one of my all times favorites to cover, just because like everyone on this comment thread I can relate so deeply and therefore sing it so passionately

I was just thinking about dusting off the guitar and matching up some chords to this but then again I just don't have the motivation I used to have when I still gave a damn.

E, E, B, A works just fine for the chorus, verse, chorus

best modest mouse song of all time. last part of this song is a transcendental bliss

Thank you

i have a tremendous love for everyone in the comments section of songs like these. u all are my people. u all understand.

I got nothing more to add to this, I just wanted to be a part of it :). Isaac knows the secret of life. Those that know will never have to ask, those who question will never understand enough to ask in the first place.

Fuck you

Ooooh noose...solidarity

was listening to this on spotify and decided to come back here for the same reason lmfao

fishing for fools

Why does this song gut me?
