I haven't heard this song for almost 20 years... I just went like I haven't wept before. This song feels like it's a cleansing of the old while giving it it's due. Thank You Issac ❤️
Lost my husband 6/13/15, he was 35. He left behind daughters, parents, siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, etc. This song. That's all I can say is this song. My heart stopped pumping but my blood is still alive. Crazy how impacting music is. ✌❤
Be thankful that you got to experience it, a lot of us are just drawing cat faces in the trees alone forever. Our hearts stopped pumping a long time ago but for some sad reason the blood keeps flowing.
This is my favorite Ugly Casanova song, I've listened to it hundreds of times, but one day riding a bus, I was like holy fucking shit the guitar sounds like cats meowing. This song is genius!!!!
Human mortality and impermanence as a metaphor for deforestation, or vice-versa. Ultimately, both humans and nature (the trees) are connected via the same cycle of creation and death. The beauty of impermanence and our stoic acceptance of it.
Something about the split vocals in this really speak to me. Like two halves of a mind that are on the same track, but never quite seem to sync up right... until they get to the point of giving up, just lying down.
My heart's stopped pumping But my blood is still alive The rain hits the ground (Swallows drop in) And the trees they dry it up (And dice the sky) My eyes wake up (Tracing lines of cursive) But my brain is sleeping fine (Form the horizon) One more thing for you and I to do (Cutting cat faces) Before we shut our eyes (In the pines) And you'll blame me (Cutting cat faces) And I'll blame you (In the pines) And we're both right Cutting cat faces in the pines (Cutting cat faces in the pines) They say his teeth are wood (Mark the path back) And they want my pictures of him (To the point of departure) The rain hits the ground (Two by two and four by four) And the trees they dry it up (The pines, they lay down) We're wood screws (We're wood screws) All of our lives (All of our lives) And we're wood screws (We're wood screws) All of our lives (All of our lives) And the rain hits the ground (I lay down) And the trees they dry it up (With the southern range) My chain hits the wood (Swallows drop in) And the wood it turns to dust (And dice the sky) I picture you (Tracing lines of cursive) As if you were a pine (On the horizon) My heart stopped pumping (My heart stopped pumping) But my blood is still alive (But my blood is still alive) We're wood screws (Cutting cat faces in the pines) All of our lives And we're wood screws (Mark the path back to the point of departure) All of our lives Well my heart's stopped pumping (Two by two and four by four) But my blood is still alive (The pines, they lay down) And I lay down with the southern range I lay down with the southern range I lay down with the southern range I lay down with the southern range I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range) I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range) I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range) I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range) I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range) I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
melloyellogsxr its pines bro, two by two four by four, turning beautiful pines in nature in to planks of wood, issac has always had deep views on society, insustry, ands its greed
I have no idea but I feel like this song is about a tree being cut down. Cat face is a term loggers use to describe a feature of a tree Like where a branch broke off and there is scar left. When you cut a tree with a cat face in it that's the week side so that's where you put your face cut. When he says my chain hit the wood and the wood turns to dust that sound like a chain saw cutting a tree. And when he says I lay down with the southern range that makes me think of a geographical feature to describe where one is logging. Like all the trees in the southern range have been cut. I'm probably wrong and my mind is probably to shallow to get the real meaning. But that what It sounds like to me. Any thoughts?
As someone with really bad ADHD and who grew up as a boy scout this song is fascinating. Trying not to get lost the woods, life and death...cursive on the horizon? Mind blown
Was Eric Judy a part on this side project? All the k record lines up modest mouse ala blue cadet do you connect are such literal renaissance beings.....they fought for the revolution then gave us the renaissance and that we don't see often. I love them,my only band tattoo
Played something that sounded like this on the guitar the other day and spent like a week trying to remember what Modest Mouse track it was. Anyway, after listening to Sharpen Your Teeth today it all came back to me.
if I awoke to everyone acting frantic around me then found out I was dieing such as terminal cancer my life will be to meet this man. have a few laughs doses and beers.and relax I completed my lifes goal and then I'd die Blissfully.
Whenever I hear this I think of end credits after some kind of soul crushing ending in a show/movie. It has those same vibes, like the screen just cut to black and it shows a bleak environment with the credits scrolling with this in the background.
This song hits me hard right now.. Met my ex in rehab, i was homeless, jobless, carless, i had nothing. She saw something in me though, she was obsessed with cats lol. Only thing that gave her any happiness anymore after years of drug abuse and trauma, but we made each other happy for a little while. "One more thing to do before we shut our eyes, and thats blame me, and ill blame you, and we're both right" That line hits especially hard given our situation
If someone would ask me, what song I would recommend her/him , that she/he definitely doesn´t know, I would say this one. Obviously, it´s a shame that this song doesn´t have millions of views, but I actually like this feeling, that I know where the trasure is, and they don´t.

This song makes me feel a way I cannot describe. I love it beyond words. It is directly tied to my youth and will love it for all time.
Same
I feel same way man. This song makes me feel like nothing else ever has
Absolutely. Fuck Yeah!!
same
You know how it is, we're wooden screws...

Losing loved ones is terrible. Sorry for your loss.
Swallows drop in and dash the sky
I lay down...
I just recently met my one love and soulmate at 30- he is 36. I cannot imagine your pain. I'm so sorry.
Love like that is once in a lifetime.

Holy shit
Wait till you find out the cat faces and logging

I feel that way exactly. Almost all of the time. You said it well.
My heart's stopped pumping
But my blood is still alive
The rain hits the ground (Swallows drop in)
And the trees they dry it up (And dice the sky)
My eyes wake up (Tracing lines of cursive)
But my brain is sleeping fine (Form the horizon)
One more thing for you and I to do (Cutting cat faces)
Before we shut our eyes (In the pines)
And you'll blame me (Cutting cat faces)
And I'll blame you (In the pines)
And we're both right
Cutting cat faces in the pines (Cutting cat faces in the pines)
They say his teeth are wood (Mark the path back)
And they want my pictures of him (To the point of departure)
The rain hits the ground (Two by two and four by four)
And the trees they dry it up (The pines, they lay down)
We're wood screws (We're wood screws)
All of our lives (All of our lives)
And we're wood screws (We're wood screws)
All of our lives (All of our lives)
And the rain hits the ground (I lay down)
And the trees they dry it up (With the southern range)
My chain hits the wood (Swallows drop in)
And the wood it turns to dust (And dice the sky)
I picture you (Tracing lines of cursive)
As if you were a pine (On the horizon)
My heart stopped pumping (My heart stopped pumping)
But my blood is still alive (But my blood is still alive)
We're wood screws (Cutting cat faces in the pines)
All of our lives
And we're wood screws (Mark the path back to the point of departure)
All of our lives
Well my heart's stopped pumping (Two by two and four by four)
But my blood is still alive (The pines, they lay down)
And I lay down with the southern range
I lay down with the southern range
I lay down with the southern range
I lay down with the southern range
I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
I lay down with the southern range (with the southern range)
Is it pines or pie?
melloyellogsxr its pines bro, two by two four by four, turning beautiful pines in nature in to planks of wood, issac has always had deep views on society, insustry, ands its greed
Excellent work on the lyrics
@@melloyellogsxr pines
Thanks guys :) I've been singing it wrong for years.. "I always thought he said cutting cat faces in the pies" a little more than embarrassed :/

Yeah, deforestation, death, cycle of life.
Perhaps we're the tree being cut down

Yes the song,has the lyrics,tune, brilliant!
Untouchable
No doubt Isaac is great, but why doesn't Holopaw get any love in these comments? He is just as much of this collab as Isaac is.
Love Holopaw!
He can damn sure string some words together beautifully..
Who???!

such a small amount of views for such a great song.
agreed
Still even. Crazy. Kind of glad though it’s just for us ❤

Good music
My fav song by isaac. It reminds me of all the stuff i went through before my 30's
Thank you.
I was there. It was amazing. Issac Brock was amazing. Modest Mouse touring. Def already have tickets. 20 years running
This song hits me hard right now..
Met my ex in rehab, i was homeless, jobless, carless, i had nothing. She saw something in me though, she was obsessed with cats lol. Only thing that gave her any happiness anymore after years of drug abuse and trauma, but we made each other happy for a little while.
"One more thing to do before we shut our eyes, and thats blame me, and ill blame you, and we're both right"
That line hits especially hard given our situation
I would not wish the perfect song upon anyone
this bop lives rent free in my mind
Isaac kicks nuts

My TOP 10 in 2023
One more thing for you and I to do, before we shut our eyes 💔
Randomly searched "cat faces" when I was younger.
Gold

"They say his teeth are wood and they want my pictures of him, We're wood screws.."
Read that how you will.
Did a bunch of mushrooms and jammed this song around a campfire when I was younger. A lot. I wish they would revive but their blood is still alive.
This album is tattooed on my arm

How the fuck do over 10 percent of people dislike this song? Blasphemy!
Breaks my heart for those out there who can't hear the absolute beauty of this song.

my oriental girlfriend agrees.
Cat faeces are disgusting.
Are you sure you're not looking in a mirror?
when i was a lame embarrassing kid i had a playlist of "good songs to die to" and this was on there.
