This song is like that first sign of happiness after depression
the guitarist is my 2nd cousin and he loves singing this song for us
@@teedoggie tell him the world loves him for us wont you hun???
;((()))))))))))))) yes yes yes
Truth
it will beee OK!!!!!!!!!!
I love how the inspiration for this song was just that the lead singer was tired of writing depressing songs and wanted to write a happy one for a change of pace.
Ironically, this song also became their most well known and their biggest hit.
Are you sure about that? I always thought the person saying “dont worry its all gonna be alright” in front of the sheep lining up for the slaughter was supposed to be kinda tongue in cheek?
@@LedZeppeli Yeah, pretty damn sure, considering the lead singer said so in an interview.
Me too rorshach me too
@@LedZeppeli the lead singer wrote this after his two best friends passed away. The sheep being taken to the slaughterhouse is an allusion to that. He wrote this song because he was super depressed and dealing with substance abuse too and in his words he "wanted to just feel good for a day"
That guitar riff will never get old
So 💯 agreed. That's what first hooked me on this song
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Honestly! Everytime I hear it.. core memories unlocked
Never!!!!
Fucking classic 🎸🤘🏾
the guitar line to this song is iconic. it's like one of those beats that feel like its always been in your head and just unlocked when you listened to the song in an "ah ha" type moment
Same
I agree!
You're right
Wang chung- dance hall days
This is literally the first time I’ve ever heard some use “ah ha” moment other then me 😂
This song was my brother's ring tone for years. He passed from Covid 3 weeks ago. I miss him so much. This song brings me so much happiness. When listening to it, I feel like he is here with me
Rip, it's a long road of grief when you lose a brother, You'll get through. Stay strong for him, you got this!
@@GreyerSkiez thank you
COVID is a bit sus ngl (I’m sorry)
Im so sorry for your lose
🙏
A few years back i was stuck in my home town in GA, ended up losing where I was staying, the girl I was seeing and my job in the span of two days. Ended up getting a pack on craigslist and went off to hitchhike to CO. Had a friend drop me off on the side of the road out in the boonies and I started my long walk. After the first bend this song came on my head phones and I remember just crying my eyes out, feeling the weight of those past years slide off of me and all the potential of a new adventure in front of me. This song always hits me hard.
You doing alright now man?
@@fordalels yup, bout 3 years busting ass later I've got a decent job, a place to stay, my own car and I'm surrounded by my closest friends.
It all floats on~
I hope your new adventure is one you can look back on and smile
Hey Paul "coincidentally", 2 weeks ago I began my own adventure. I guess we'll be floating together!!! The fun thing about adventures is you never know what surprises will come! I hope you are doing better today, and may the winds blow you in the right direction: )))
@@cindydownard trust in your gut always as you move around and you'll be fine. Good luck on your adventures!
💜2024 And this gem continues to shine 💖💎🔥
That guitar riff is something else 😭
Marcou minha vida essa música, ela é para sempre para mim
Absolutely!🎉❤
💪
Why are you everywhere lol
Don’t you wish TH-cam was around when all these bands were huge. Kids in the future won’t realize how big this song really was.
For fucking real. I listen to songs that have been on TH-cam almost as long as it's been around. Enter Shikari has a music video that is 18 years old, I was 10 when they released it
They will never experience TRL live, fresh off the school bus!
Yall gotta listen to riptide dude it’s amazing 🤩
In all honesty, the song didn't even make a top 50 showing on the hot 100 charts.
@@johnwhite1321 that's because the "Hot 100" and "Top 50" are based on mostly hip hop and pop. Not punk rock, pop punk, rock, or metal. Your opinion is invalid because unless you're already famous or part of the agenda, you'll never make a list like that in America. Wheatus was SUPER famous in other countries because Americans couldn't get over the fact they mentioned a "gun in school", but 'Pumped Up Kicks' literally talks about shooting other kids and that made it on the Top 100. Stop glorifying people if you can't even figure out the past
“Don’t worry even if things end up a bit to heavy, we’ll all float on alright” I take this saying with me everywhere I go
Beautiful
Tatt?
Tiis beautiful lyrics indeed
Every child needs to hear this song for that lyric alone, that and Jimmy Eat World The middle.
Too*
Rest in peace, Jeremiah. These guys made my whole childhood along with so many others, though I believe they stood out with few. Missing him already. ❤️
Well said 🙏🏼
Float on my friend. Float on!! 😞
I'm glad that I got to see the live show .. awesome performance
We all foat on ..
@@azfpv3769 cuando good news on the way
This song will always be one of my favorites. Being disabled (mentally and physically) I feel like I can never do things right. But when I feel like things are going to hell, I listen to this song and it makes me feel better.
God bless you and yours friend.
Awesome!

I understand ❤
U are Right!😊
I was a cashier at Zupan's on Belmont in 2013-14 and always loved when Isaac Brock came through my grocery line despite me losing the ability to speak out of sheer star struckness in the presence of his majestic artist self. I wish I woulda tried to be his friend as I saw him and had the chance to speak to him often, the most that came out was that I loved his music. I always thought he was the hottest creature on earth and his music has saved me many a times out of the depths of darkness. Thank you Isaac and Modest Mouse, you rules the roast forever.
This song makes me feel like everything is going to be alright
That’s becuse your Batman
I always feel like there’s something ominous about it lmao. This is definitely not a happy song for me hahaha
@@enshk79 Yea same can't quite figure out the true meaning of the song but the video makes me think it's sarcastic
I always think of shits I take that float.
@@ge2623 😀
This song is beautiful.
XXXEGGACION lmao I did not expect to see you here but nice

U right

It's all good. The sheep were grazing the poppies
This band… this song…. Really saved my life... Definitely helped me get through a hard time.
Going through it rn broth
This song is criminally underrated.
This song has 118 million views.
It's only criminally good.
@@SmashedTomatoes 1000 miliion its fair
There is no finer feeling than the feeling of relief: when you've been in pain, or have been feeling shitty, and suddenly, it improves. Even if only a little.
You are the BEST ❤️💕💛📣🦋
Absolutely true.
I always feel really good, like almost blissful, right before entering a depressive state for months
I know you certainly can appreciate it more that's for sure float on
Or being in North Carolina in the morning
RIP Jeremiah Green, one of the all time greats. You will be missed brother
take the vax, pay the toll
🕯️🙏❤️
@@JackBaker-kp1rk bullshit
He passed away , no way I haven't listened to this in months I just got nostalgic feeling and came here to jam and now I'm sad
@@michealr734 🕯️🙏
2004 was such a good year, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Wilco, The Killers.
My wife and I were lucky enough to attend the Wilco Sky Blue Sky Festival in Mexico in late early December , it was beyond words. For some reason theyre skipping it this year 🥲
I heard this song for the first time 19 years ago, i saw you all perform it live for the first time tonight. This song has dragged me out of so many dark moments. It brought a tear to my eyes singing it along with you.. thank you.
Fjb
IT'S BEEN NINETEEN YEARS 😱
I only know about this song because I had a gay friend in NY who sent me a bunch of CDs once and this album (which is fantastic by the way) was one of them. He had a crush on me, but unfortunately I'm not attracted to guys. I don't know what he's up to these days, but I hope he's happy cause he deserves to be.
I don't blame the guy for having a crush on you, Tim. :)
Your exactly right he does, and hope he is..
Aww that’s the cutest😂
i need a guy friend then
gay*
There’s an underlying sadness to this song and I can’t quite understand it, but i know it’s there
The singer/songwriter wrote this not long after two close friends of his passed away. This song is more of a hopefully reassurance as opposed to a genuine sense of contentment.
This song is about when life gets you down it will get better eventually
To me it meant to be optimistic in life. I listen to it a lot when I'm feeling depressed and rather out of hope.
lizylu it is about death, a very metaphorical song.
The beginning is a stage, symbolic for life being one large play. The sheep are symbolic for not only what is happening consistently in the world (hu-men killing animals) but also represents us as humanity. We are the sheep being fed to the wolves. Although there is nothing wrong with the sheep, that is just the scenario they have been placed under or over (to overstand what is going on rather than understand) They are singing or mouthing we'll all float on signifying their reassurance, then the man takes the sheep and kills them. However we will all float on and everything will be ok. In a way the sheep do not have free will to decide when they die or what happens to them, they are being decided on by the man however it's ironic because the man also does not choose and is part of the system which will eventually do the same to him. It's only sad or bad if you look at it as that way. You could also see it as a beautiful thing because being alive only means you have time to experience. When you die everything comes full circle and there is no time to be had or wasted. Everyone is the way they always were. And that's why we will all float on alright. We will all make it to the end of the tunnel and it's a beautiful thing if you allow yourself to experience it in that way.
I hated this song at 16 but at 36 it's my favorite song. It's amazing what 20 years of life can teach you.
Someone please like this so I can come back to this greatness. Thanks
May the drummer of this band rest in peace. This song caught my attention a long time ago and I still jam it.
Same here one of my favorite songs indeed I just found out I am definitely shocked and saddened by the passing of Jeremiah Green Pisces gang gang
😢😢😢😢
Gang gang
I agree with the sad stuff
Whoa, I'm sorry. Im a bit 2000&late. How did he pass?
“Don’t worry even if things end up a bit heavy, we all float on alright.”
Such a beautiful saying!
In loving memory of Jeremiah ❤️
Truly missed, but never forgotten.
What happened to him (jeremiah)
@@kpopsongmm6723He died
@@kpopsongmm6723 he died of cancer at the end of 2022
very hippie of them
I remember hearing this song for the first time when my female purebred siberian husky was still alive- Keeva- strength and gentleness. You visit two hospitals and gave joy to the dying for 2 years. I miss you so much baby bear. It's lonely here without you. I love you. Always and forever, Papa ❤
I wept like a baby when I saw you perform this in Santa Fe last night...I was with my son, and it was the first big tune he mastered on the drums. I listened to him practice for months! Wonderful show. Thank you for the music & the message.
The comments on this video are pretty ironic, people remembering their past, how they originally found this song. About better times, but this song is actually about moving on after bad things and how we all just move on after all bad things. "Floating on."
We all have our troubles, but we will all float on okay, don't you worry. Even if things end up a bit heavy, we will all float on.
At least that's how I interpret it.
Music Chanimal I take it sarcastically now. I used to interpret it as not having a worry. Now I interpret it as a warning to those pursuing pleasure and escapism. The animal farm and Orwellian theme of the video give me this vibe. The fact that the animals are being led to slaughter while happily matching has this forbidding undertone.
I’m not in any way negating your interpretation. I actually came down here to bounce this theory off someone else and you seemed like an open mind to do that with.
Granted, I could easily be biased because of my past and my own mess-ups in life. I just wanted to share that idea though.
Thanks for reading. :)
@@DaughtersofOrion That sounds like a pretty good interpretation as well! I didn't expect any actually well-thought out comments to respond to anything I said, let alone a popular song.
I haven't been around very much but I understand where you come from, the fact the song is about moving on while the animals slaughtered have nowhere to move onto makes sense in my mind as well. I didn't think about it that way until you brought it up, thanks!
It's rare getting a reply that isn't just a blind agreement or disagreement, so thanks!
@@LBFMUSICA Thank you as well! I thought I had it all figured out but your comment got me thinking that I might be biased from my own life experiences. It's always good exchanging ideas!
:) thank you!
I hope you have a good one!
Wake up and flow through the water of the holy ghost within us all to return to your rightful spot on Rose world set and stop believing in Earth fake reality that you are trapped in by the program of Satan. Earth has been dead for 50000 years now
I see it as we'll all die and "float on" in the end, so take things easy and don't make it worse than it has to be.
Rest easy, Jeremiah. You've provided millions upon millions of people happiness.
Ironically, this is the only album he didn’t drum on due to mental health crisis. R.I.P. Jeremiah Martin Green (March 4, 1977 - December 31, 2022).
@@cremetangerine82 lol yeah, I mean I get why people would think so but it's kinda ironic seeing a bunch of people reference/comment on float on and Jeremiah's passing
Early 2000s had some trippy music videos and I miss it 😢 use to love watch music videos before school.
Honestly same, I loved the songs from 2000s -2010s. They felt the most real because they didn’t really use autotune.
Thank you for this. It helped me through my PTSD. Y’all, we will all float on! ❤
Fun fact: this almost became the theme song for the Office!
ultimate2018 why did it not?
Because the one we ended up with is amazing
Dalton Miller They figured it would be too moody for a “happy” show
@@ultimate2018 I think it's great as well but I'm kinda torn as I think this would be really good as well
I'm glad they stuck with the theme song they have. Love this and a classic, but the one they chose was correct 🤘
One minute you’re an angsty teen next minute you’re reminiscing as an adult 😭
Right!
I know right : ( I was in High School when this song came out
Crazy how that works isn’t it?
Yup
Ouch, I did discover this song over a decade ago xD
The most overplayed song that does not get old. We all need to float on sometimes. If you watched this depressed, something in the sheep waiting for slaughter makes you feel warm inside. It can be worse, but you cannot control some outcomes so why fret. Focus on what you can control and enjoy the ride while you can, and let love grow as you do it.
This song has saved me so many times over my life. I always reference it in my worst times. Just a kid when I first heard it and would watch the video on MTV music videos. Didn't know at the time how powerful this song would be in my life. I try to live my life by this song in so many ways. Truly one of the best of all time, thank you!
Every once in a while you accidentally find a band You never heard of who blows your mind.
you were just too young or weren't cool enough when it came out originally
Att 54 too young is out and with over 50,000 bands in the world it is hard not to miss some.
I love this band
I love that feeling
Whitechapel m8
Listening to this song 2 years later, it feels like I heard it 15 years ago on an old MP3 player, but at the same time, it feels like it just came out last week. At 33, I realize that these artists have been a significant part of my life for more than half of it already. Time seems to be passing quickly lately
I remember watching Fuse TV when they played this for the first time ever. It somehow became a core memory
There is almost nothing greater than finally finding a song you've been trying to find for a year.
why did it take you so long??
have you considered modest mouth?
tftm that’s not nothing . I remember being a kid when this came out and I loved watching mtv early in the morning just to watch this video. This is my first time listening to this since then
Especially when Shazam doesn't know it... still waiting to find one of those songs. Someday it'll roll around
tftm ikr
Fun fact: This aesthetic is based in the XX century art movement known as Italian Futurism, or just Futurism; another famous music video that uses this style is Franz Ferdinand's Take Me Out.
That must be why I get those two songs confused all the time. It's not because I'm a dolt.
Guitar riff also sounds somewhat similar...
I love it!
Funfact i listened to that right before i listened to this
I loved both music videos as a kid! I think this fascinating art style definitely explains it.
after the world ends, i want this song to be the end credits
Still hits good in 2024. 💯
Botched my own suicide, found myself surrounded by family that loves me. Everything still hurts, I still have those thoughts sometimes but I'm trying to change. This song definitely helps.
Good luck, you got a future ahead
U aight.
You got this brother
Don’t go down that dark hole, always going to be things trying to drag you down, enjoy the little things in life, tough times produce tough people 😉
I really hope you’re doing better:
My mom past away in January and this was her favorite song, we played it together moments before she passed😞 love you mom!
May your mom rest in power! Hope shes finding herself in some crazy adventures on the other side over there! I lost my father almost a year ago, I wish u nun but positive healing and abundant energy 💯💞 bless
As well, your mom must've been a real special woman if this was her favourite song, idk u, nor your mother or where you live, what u look like,
hell i dont even know what your names are. But everytime I hear this song from here on out I assure you'll I'll always think of you two💯💯💯

I'm so sorry, bless her, bless your mom.
😢😢heartbroken over your loss!!!!!
It’s ok we’ll all float on ?
This song has been with me since my teen years I’m 31 now 😭 love it lol.
Played this song as I left rehab last year. Today I'm 18 months and 5 days clean off IV Methamphetamine! #recoveryispossible #wedorecover #recoveroutloud
Proud of you!
Remember driving around for hours and hours in the indiana countryside with my first love to this song. I remember how in love we were and how beautiful that was. Being 16 and having no where to be and nothing to be worried about. The endless sea of grass. I'd just have my hand on her thigh while we drove forever. Those are some of the moments I cherish most in this life. We dated for 2 years and she found someone else. Spent a lot of time hating her for that. I'm 21 now and I'm just starting to feel a little better about it. I couldn't listen to this song for so long, and now I'm going through some serious issues with my current partner. This song really reminds me of the impermanence of life. Those fleeting, beautiful moments that sometimes get overshadowed by the inevitable periods of pain and suffering. It's taken me a long time to come to realize my life is not just one long, cruel joke. Those moments have value. Even if they don't always last. I miss being 16 in that endless sea of grass. It'll be okay though, anyway.
The therapist I always need advice from 🙏
Just keep floating on my man, it will get better
damn man, this hit me hard. dont worry, we'll all float on
I feel you bro, but we all float on
Grew up in Indiana so I can relate to the endless sea of grass , float on my brother
I’ve been struggling with emotional pain for the past couple months and doing things to myself that nobody should do. Yesterday my girlfriend called me and told me that one of my best friends died. He killed himself. This was one of our favorite songs, and he introduced it to me. I wish he had listened to the message but it feels good to hear it again and I think that what he did made me realize that I need help. If you read this, which probably nobody will, thanks for your time, have a great day, if you feel that feeling please tell someone, and God bless you.
God bless you brother, hang in there and keep floatin on.
Keep fighting comrade! Live your life for your friend.
⚛️🌈🎼
My best friend killed himself too. I know the pain firsthand. You'll learn to cope with this dude, it doesn't get easier, but you'll come to terms with it and realize that life is still beautiful. And that we will all float on no matter what happens.

A good song to remember for the bad times. Thanks guys.
1:40 The line, "Well, we'll float on, good news is on the way" actually saved my life, as silly as that sounds.

JAJA
Things have definitely gotten shittier for everyone. The former soviets and the west.
You called it exactly the vibe I got from the video very psychedelic
Can't debunk that. Too true for too many.
First time I ever saw this was when I was 14, woke up at like 5 am, randomly turned on the TV and it was on VHS, this was playing on their morning line up and I've loved it ever since. 12 years later, here we are again.
thats a run on sentence if i've ever seen one.
Can you fuck off mate?
+RockyMt.Man can you mate?
Same here. I believe I was also 14 first saw/heard this on VH1. Loved it ever since.
+Pharaoh Bhang nah bruh they recorded this in my basement...
This was a song my sister and I played while we struggled a lot in our 20’s just trying to make it on our own. She passed 7months ago 😢 only 31, a baby 😭🥺 I miss my sissy badly 💔❤️🩹❤️💞
This band is on a specific level that allot of artists strive attempt to be.
"Even if things get heavy" was incredibly reassuring for some reason
Yeah but why is that part of the lyrics NOT on the description!!
@@Yueh-et2iv yeah, what's up with that
@@DenpaKei just love that part of the lyrics and thought it shouldn't been left out :"(
Same dude lol I'm in a lockdown do to the Coronavirus and here I am
Same for me actually this song helped me through a dark place
This is all of us during this terrible time, it will get better
My best friend and I always say to each other now "we'll float on" whenever either of us are going through a rough moment now during this crisis.
this song brings back Memories when i needed personally to float on and things will change its funny how certain songs relate to something in our lives rather sad happy etc etc
@toilet paper only thing cringy is your comment
Wizz Da Burrito Boy wait... Did you just roast him(her)?
Damn straight. We’re all gonna float on okay!
This song was my anthem almost 20 years ago ❤ still in my playlist.
WE BACKIN OUR CARS INTO COP CARS WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥
Everybody’s got such a sad and sweet story of why they love this song.
But I just found it while playing rock band 2.
rock band unplugged here :)
Same
Whatever, at least ya found it.
I don't
i heard it played at work and had to find out what song it was because it sounded familiar but also i just love the way he sings
I'll never forget watching this on MTV getting ready for school.
Same here! I miss mtv morning videos as I got ready for school!
Me too :)
Omg me too! Miss those days😭
Yass! Back in like 04/05
I Know right.
Still rocking hard in 2024
Such a shame that U2’s Vertigo got the grammy instead of this one. This song is just a masterpiece.
Never knew much about this band growing up. Just remember an ad for the CD on tv with the tagline “Good news for people who like bad news.” Just recently thought to give them a listen. It has such an early 2000s feel that’s nostalgic
This song has been helping me a couple of days this week. Burnout sucks.
My dad is battling stage 4 liver cancer. Been listening to this on repeat.
God bless I’ll be praying for ya chief
Its worked for me for a decade. This song has aged well.
good thoughts your way. music helps everything. especially good music. like this. stay strong, stranger.
don't worry he'll float on alright! god bless you and your family
F
This song feels like someone is tapping you on the back and saying it will be okay.
More like yes it's going to be okay but it's still gonna suck and still gonna hurt but you're going to float right on despite all that.
@@jdbarr769 exactly
It will yo! 🤗🙂
💕💕💕💎🙌🏼✨
This song came out when I was 14 and helped me through some hard shit. Now at 29 they were definitely right. Shit is gonna be hard, but we always float on ❤️
Omg….this song put the biggest smile on my face. Brings me so many memories singing it in traffic in socal lmao
Same. I think this could solve road rage lol
This song changes my life, every time i listen to this masterpiece i get 3 minutes and 34 seconds closer to paradise
This is one of those songs that was a big part of my childhood and I didn't notice?
yes
Foobar
yeup
same here
Hahahahahahha yea ikr
“Don’t worry, even if things end up a bit to heavy, we’ll all float alright.”
The entire song is beautiful but this quote in particular is something I come back to a lot. You can only fuck up so many times before things eventually get better.
Something about the coments here just makes me want to give all you a hug and tell you that you are family and I love you.
My mom used to play this all the time when I was growing up, now I’m able to understand and appreciate the lyrics
One of my favorite songs. I just woke up and had to hear it today. One of the best bands!!!
right? absolutely >3
That opening guitar riff is one of the most iconic in music history.
Sounds a lot like U2 riff
@@whitebathroomguy It does have some U2 vibes there. I'm wondering if U2 was an influence on Modest Mouse.
@@whitebathroomguy I dunno, seems like modest mouse likeD their riffs less "cleaner"
Yes indeed. It reminds me a bit of U2's guitar intro in "Sunday Bloody Sunday".

Mhm.
Nice...

This is my favorite song I discovered this year (2023). My younger self wouldn't expect me to be where I am right now, but after everything, I survived, and if you're seeing this, you did too. Life can bring you down in so many unexpected ways, but that also means it can be more beautiful than you ever imagined. I never had a memory to look back on for a reason to live. Mine was for a reason yet to be discovered. Maybe life is painful right now and the most you can do is ride it out, but rest assured, it is leading you to somewhere beautiful. There are already so many beautiful things happening as we speak, whether you realize it or not. You'll see the light one day...a friend told me there never really is an end to the tunnel and things can only get a bit better...she is wrong. Never let anyone make you believe you can't have it all, because you can. Don't ever let people bring you down.. even if it means outgrowing them or leaving them behind. Everything you've lost is just making room for better. You'll see how much life is worth living as long as you float on.
20years from now, some kid is going to listen and love this song like I have
I'm not sure anyone will ever read this or understand. But my late sister, whom I miss dearly, listened to modest mouse long before they became popular. I remember when this song came out, I thought, man my sister has good taste in music. I miss her so much but I know she's floating on alright :)
Im so sorry to hear :'(
Read it and cared. R.I.P
Whatever, you should feel proud for being a brother to a hipster.
rest in pepperoni
RIP bro, positive vibes from here
I remember my beloved son Jaron who past away in 2005 at age 26 playing this song quite a bit. So Float On is very special for me. Plus it's great catchy tune. So thanks Modest Mouse!
This song is special to so many people. Theres just something about it that makes people happy and sad at the same time.
I’m sorry I lost my dad 7 months ago when I was 16 it hurts so much
Lost my almost-son-in-law at 25 yo. It was 11 yrs ago and I still come back and listen to this song he loved. Something very special about it to many.
😥
Godspeed for Jaron...Peace and prayers for you and yours.
This song makes me feel so many things at once. Nostalgia, Happy, Sad... It's just one of those perfect songs.
This song got me through a bad year of PTSD.
Pennywise: we float down here
Modest mouse: alright

LOL !!!
Best comment ever dude! 😄

Modest mouse gives me nostalgia. I had some of the best times of my life while listening to them. Even if things get heavy, we’ll all float on.
This song feels like the polar opposite of karma police
I always tear up with this song. It's one of the best songs for a bad day.
yes
Lmao
I wonder if they know how therapeutic this song has been for so many people.
It helped me a lot
It helps me💜
Same rest well Jeremiah green 💔🙏😪😢😍
This song still helps
This has definitely been there for me. Through the really bad stuff like my wife dying, and through the really good stuff, like finding another good woman years later.
This song takes me back. Detroit,Michigan how the hell you holding up? God has blessed me traveling to 36 states and its fucking crazy how you hear a song and it triggers memories from far long gone days. Reminds me that I'm getting older and wiser. Everyone please take your time and stop for a minute and make a real effort to look,listen and be amazed at what you see and hear when you pay attention to shit instead of hurry hurry.. Be blessed and thank you God.
A true classic even now in 2023
Yes ❤
I love how this song isn't just some happy song, and the video even shows that off with the unnerving energy. This song isn't a reassurance that things will get better; it's a desperate plea for things to get better, almost to the point of delusion, and I love it. It's not about knowing things will get better; it's about hoping things get better, and that regardless of what happens everyone will make it to the end. It's almost so morbid that it's comforting, and it's why I absolutely adore this song.
Truth
one of the main delusions in life is that it will never end, all the popular western religions are built around shoring up the delusion that you're somehow going to not stop existing when you die. i think the ego always wants to drift into this fantasy, but you can break through into beautiful moments of pure joy meditating on the fact that in time we will all lose everything we love, get sick, and die. there is no point being upset when these moments are all we ever have
It can also mean that bad stuff will happen and things won't necessarily get better but we'll still be okay despite it a.k.a. it's not the end of the world
Not necessarily a delusion. When you are depressed you always assume that things will never ever get better, even though you know for a fact that tragedies don’t last for ever and one manages to either accept or just forget and keep moving on, so it’s a nice reminder to have modest mouse telling us life does get better.
I would say it’s a fact that people usually assume tragedies will last longer than what they actually end up lasting. So it’s good to remind yourself that after some time you’ll float on alright, even though we know we might fall again
It is also beneficial to delude yourself and pretend that life always will get better after a tragedies since it gives you strength to fight and move on.
It’s all us humans can do . Help each other
My son just recently died in a car accident this was on his card with his picture for celebration of life because he used to tell people if life gets too heavy don’t worry because we all float on man if I only knew (mom)
Sending prayers to you and family
I am working on front row tickets for Modest Mouse in Orlando October 14 hope this works out It’ll be for my son Milton in his memory that we are there for him

I just bought a new car. 20 minutes ago I tried out the stereo and the alt station played this. Great song. 💘 Love it.
I miss playing this song in Guitar Hero World Tour with my family and complete instrument peripherals. Sometimes you don’t know how valuable a moment is until it’s over.
❤
Yesss!!!
I played it on that as well as Rock Band 2
Heart felt for real
My heart! Bless you! ❤
If someone notices this, I’m still alive and fighting depression
Keep fighting dude you got this
Even if things get heavy we'll all float on alright!
Keep fighting! Focus on everything good, avoid the news (but do not become ignorant of what is happening, just dont dive deep into any of it). Think of the oceans, the forests, the mountains. Think of spring flowers and their colors and smell! Think of the red and yellow leaves in the fall.
Take walks, fall in love with a pet and devote your heart to them.
You are an important part of this world!
Hang in here, you are loved you are needed you matter!!! 💞💚💞💚💞
Float on :)
Hey there, I’m right there with ya. Not to much to be happy about lately but this song along with a few others put a small smile on my face because they remind me of a better time. I hope and feel things can and maybe will get better sometime.
People who think life ain't worth it , trust the process
The guitar rifts in this cure depression, they sound so fuckin triumphant, I feel like I won something
Thank you so much for the lyrics.I'm a new learner of English so that it is really useful for me to make the meaning from that song.
that guitar riff is so fucking good
I know man, so iconic.
I love it so much
hell ya.
That's what really makes the song for me
+Abdul Razak Harun Same, it's just so good!
