What is going on my mates
Today we will be discussing a band from Philadelphia, PA called Modern Baseball. More specifically we will be talking about MoBo's sophomore album, You're Gonna Miss It All. I titled this video How Modern Baseball Wrote A Pop Punk Masterpiece because I think this is their most pop punk-sounding album in their catalog. I don't really consider them a pop punk band overall, but this album leaned that direction.
You're Gonna Miss It All was released on February 11th, 2014 via Run For Cover Records and it took the alternative music world by storm. I don't think anyone was expecting it to blow up as big as it did..
Songs to check out from You're Gonna Miss It All :
- Fine, Great
- Broken Cash Machine
- Rock Bottom
- Apartment
- The Old Gospel Choir
- Notes
- Charlie Black
- Timmy Bowers
- Going To Bed Now
- Your Graduation
- Two Good Things
- Pothole
Oh wait.. that's all of them. Go check out all of the songs on this album
Best,
Nate
And now.. it's time for the feature presentation you've been waiting for: How Modern Baseball Wrote A Pop Punk Masterpiece

The fossils of my footsteps will be unearthed at a far off date unknown
Impressed in concrete from walking home alone after walking you home
And the mops of greasy hair
i wouldn’t call it pop punk as much ass post emo revival
@@miguelwelanetz4967 those aren't the lyrics dumbass
Jack Long he's ruining the lines
ITS BEEN THREE WHOLE YEARS OF ME THINKING ABOUT YOU EVERY DAY
SOMETIMES FOR HOURS SOMETIMES IN PASSING...
SAW YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE, STOOD OUT FOR HOURS AS YOU COMPLAINED-
ABOUT HOW YOU HADN'T SEEN YOUR FRIENDS YET
THAT YOUR TOO DRUNK STAND AND YOU NOT KNOWING IF YOU COULD LOVE HIM FOREVER
BULLSHIT! YOU FUCKING MISSED ME!
THERE I SAID IT, GUESS ILL TALK TO YOU IN A FEE MONTHS.
Modern Baseball is my favourite band of all time. No band has ever influenced or affected me in the same way that Brendan, Jake, Ian and Sean did. Brendan's unflinching honesty within his lyrics helped me come to terms with my own flaws and vulnerabilities. Jake's complex and deep lyrics are so inspiring as a writer, and the personalities of both Ian and Sean make this band absolutely perfect.
I can't believe that someone is doing video essays on my favorite albums and bands. This is a good day. Also your narration style is amazing i like how you slip into your script a bit from your real life experience, it makes it more authentic. KEEP IT UP -a fan and a fellow creator
It's 11 04 in my time zone right now and I should be pulling an all nighter but to hell with class I'm skipping
Brady Rowland how pop punk of you
Just order food and sleep in
Whatever, Forever, my dudes
I kinda wish I knew you in real life. It's really tough to find friends I can talk about music with like this, let alone go into an in-depth discussion on Modern Baseball. These two videos so far have hit me like no other music album review videoes has done to me. You present a discussion about Modern Baseball that makes me feel happy in the inside, knowing there is someone who cares about bands like Modern Baseball as much as I do. Although that may sound kinda selfish (probably is, idk I word things weird sometimes), but I am just glad there are people who care about bands in this way as much as I do. In this case though, you clearly show more dedication than I ever could. I wish I can like the video more than once.
That’s how I feel when I go onto pretty much any music related channel lmao (channels like Alfo Media, Pad Chennington and Nate himself)
Same
Could you talk about some other rare singles, like "how do I tell a girl I want to kiss her"
I completely forgot about that single! But probably because my mind wanted to push out how sad that song makes me, oof
That song was literally my entire time with my crush in middle school. She was always with some scumbag, was suicidal, and she never gave herself a break. In the end, I took my shot, and failed. Haven't seen her since I graduated.
@@michaelgallup5596 holy shit man, same story here.
@@CBDem0n Christ, I never thought I'd find another one.
IM COMING BACK TO THIS BC RN I CANT WATCH IT BUT I NEED TO SEE THIS AND I LITERALLY FOUND YOUR CHANNEL TODAY WITH ANOTHER MODERN BASEBALL VIDEO AND IM SO HAPPY I DID
BIG BIG FAN OF THIS VIDEO. i can’t wait to see more, maybe tfb?
A run through of one of their albums would be amazing
Literally yes
YES
HELL YEAH
Whats the general opinion on TFB? I haven't followed them for a few years, but I checked in a few months ago and it seems like their discography is a steady decline from genre defining folk-pop-punk to generic pop rock.
Dude PLEASE do The Perfect Cast.. That EP is honestly probably my favorite release of theirs!
imo the thrash particle is the best song theyve put out
You should definitely talk about the Perfect Cast EP. Some of the songs there would have made Holy Ghost an even better record.
Great video as always, my dude.
I still prefer Holy Ghost (one of my favorite albums of all time) but Waterboy, Alpha Kappa, and Thrash Particle are some of my favorite tracks from them.
I’ve been in a really tough place, having just moved into college and feeling like everything has been going wrong. But these videos have been helping me, thank you for expressing the feelings I’ve been having about everything recently even when I can’t right now.
Make a video about all their music. Even the EPs and rare tracks. MoBo is like a diary to me and I’m sure for many others as well. I listen to them and I can’t help but think about my senior year ... the nostalgia hits real with this one . Keep em coming
So many memories with this album. My best friend and I had managed to get tickets to the Greatest Generation Tour, one of the shows in March, and YGMiA came out just a month before, and I remember blasting this album on the way to the show. I remember singing Rock Bottom in the pit, and everyone screaming “whatever forever” as loud as they possibly could.
I think one of the greatest strengths about the album is how a lot of the songs are both catchy and simple. Fine Great, Rock Bottom, Apartment, Your Graduation... all of them were fairly simple chord songs, but they were so catchy and fun to play. I have a ton of memories of my old band just sitting around when someone would pick up a guitar, play a few chords, and we’d all be singing the song together after a couple seconds. You’re Gonna Miss It All is one of my favorite records of all time, thanks for making an incredible video about it. Lots of love for this channel
I missed this one! At least I’m not too late. Love this guy. Keep making videos forever and you’re the only person I’ve seen that shares my love for Modern Baseball.
I'm way behind man, but thank you for introducing me to Modern Baseball.
I watched all your videos and really enjoyed seeing your love for them, so I checked them out about a year ago.
I've only just bought their second and third albums and I love them both.
Keep up the good work man!
Completely forgot this band existed. Found them a few years ago when I was traveling and they just got lost to me along the way.
God Bless you Nate. You're my mate. Yes you are.
Same. Found them super later to the game traveling a few years ago, and was like "where was I in 2014?" Growing up with a lot of early Midwest emo etc I was looking for exactly this to come from the last 20 years. Brilliant freaking masterpiece of an album.
If anything, this video helped me realise how much I didn't pay attention to their music deepness )x
I mainly liked your graduation because it sounds so catchy but now I'm going to check their whole discography, thanks for that and keep the good work.
been waiting for this, amazing vid. One of my fav albums by them, I listen to it ALL THE TIME.
Hey, just found this band maybe six months ago, and I'm a sophomore in college and these videos are bringing to light a whole new view of their music thank you so much
omg yes, please make a video on their rarer stuff!! so many people only listen to the LPs it's a total tragedy! i'd love to see something on their stuff from Couple's Therapy, Techniques, and The Perfect Cast, but especially The Nameless Ranger!!! Home is my favourite song in the whole world, and that EP, along with Sports, completely changed my perspective and feelings on music as a whole
Holy Ghost is and will always be my favorite album. So much more mature than the other two, and much stronger emotionally. The paired documentary really shows a lot too. It's honestly criminally underrated how little that album gets compared to the other two. But it's a lot easier to understand not enjoying it as much when you can't relate to the lyrical content as much. But if you can relate to holy ghost, then it's a whole different experience and I'm sorry you're going through that.
when i first got into mobo i wasn’t huge on them but they had some songs i really liked which led me to periodically find all of the songs on this album at different points in my life cause i never listened to it all at once which makes every song mean something different to me and takes me back to a different point in my life and it just makes this one of my favorite albums ever and gives me a really warm feeling about the memories i’ve made growing up.
Yes to the perfect cast the thrash particle is legendary.
talk about all of it. Every song every ep, every single
11:14 lol thats me in the black sweatshirt in the middle. that show was SO COOL
I don't know how I am just seeing this video. this album brought so many emotions to me that I'll always cherish for my entire life. Your graduation and Rock Bottom summed up the college semester before i dropped out and joined the army. this video is amazing and sums up the sheer glory that is Modern Baseball.
Can't Wait for Holy Ghost video :) Love the content!
I was watching this and playing all the songs on my acoustic guitar while you were discussing them. It felt like a nice little interaction in a way.
This series could really use some background music, if you want me to play the Holy Ghost songs over the video let me know and I'd love to be a part of it.
Jack Marsho this would be so good :))
I would love to see this guy analyze Joyce manor some day
I actually began listening to MoBo for real a couple months ago (yes I'm late for the party I know) and I feel like they are the band that I have needed since my adolescence and didn't know about. I live very far away from the USA (Brasil) and so it's music that we have to actively search the internet to find, it's not really a part of our reality. And god, I wish I had found them sooner. They talk about everything that I sometimes feel, and do so in such a honest, true and simple way, it makes life feel easier. Shoutout to everyone who still keeps them in their hearts!!
This album is just absolute perfection thank you for making this video
Yo PLEASE make a video talking about their EPs and other singles, I absolutely love this series and I’m gonna get sad when it’s over :(
Also, can you do a deep analysis on “I think you were in my profile picture once”... I feel like that song says SO much in the short time that it’s in
Thank you for rekindling my love for this band
This made my day better mate
Thank you Nate you are awesome!!
Awesome video essay man! And I was pumped there was another Walter song in the opening.
This video has me so emotional. Like
Another amazing video :))
This is top notch. Surprised this came out on the day when the person who got me into this band noticed me.
Hey Nate! I just discovered your channel, and you're MoBo content is amazing!
But, you actually forgot one notable thing about Rock Bottom...
The line: "I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO DO, but its okay 'cause whatever, forever"
is a direct callback to this line from Coals: "You wanna join me for dinner? Man I'VE GOT SO MUCH TO DO!"
Great video, but you missed the most iconic line of The Old Gospel Choir:
“And now I’m dead to me.”
I heard you mention the fest and it seemed familiar and then i noticed that the fest happens in my hometown and i somehow missed it. Won’t make that same mistake next year.
I saw them by accident, not knowing they were a fill in band touring with the wonder years, I left with a new favourite band. Still love their music today.
DUUUUDE if you did the perfect cast that would be so cooool! Love that ep so much
The Perfect Cast is my favourite Modern Baseball anything. Definitely talk about it.
i first listened to modern baseball when i was in 7th grade and they inmediately meant so much to me, that was a really bad year for me (lose all of my then friends, anxiety started acting up i felt like shit all the time; a mess) and just to hear these people sing and describe what i was feeling made me feel a lot better and normal
My life goal is to make music so good Nate makes a video about it, these videos are so genuinely interesting and inspiring
You’ll get there if you believe you can
@@NateTheMateForever I'll prove you right, watch me
Fine great came up in my daily Spotify playlist about a year ago, and I haven’t stopped listening to this album.
Oh ya! Most deff do a vid on the EP they dropped between 2nd and 3rd album that absolutely crushed!
Man, these videos have made me go back and listen to these albums. It's gives the best kind of nostalgia. Also why does no one talk about the sappiest cutest love song "how do I tell a girl I want to kiss her" ? I used to listen to that song on repeat my Jr year of highschool.
as much as i love these essay videos for how well put together they are, i can't help but wonder what happened to nate's car D:
zan man hahah I love you. Don’t worry the car is still good :)
Perhaps no album represents my college years better then this one. Being a few years out of school, I indeed “miss it all.”
Than*
Loved them!
Would you do a similar analysis about Tiny Moving Parts? I feel they have some beautiful music and lyrics as well.
tmp doesnt get much love in the pop punk scene, but they're kings in the math rock scene.
it’s been 3 whole years of me thinking about you every day 😭😭
it's cool that we can all interpret songs in our own ways
depending on our experiences
no matter how seemingly specific the lyrics sounds
I’d like you to give your thoughts on Jake’s EP he did before MoBo, with tracks like How do I tell a girl I want to kiss her? And the demo version of I think you were my profile picture once.
Modern Baseball just have this wonderfully depressing but uplifting sound.
Fun Fact, broke my elbow at a MB concert in cologne a few years back, funnily enough they where the "softest" group i've ever seen live ....
You were a sophomore or junior in high school 2012 2013 Jesus I'm old. This band still rocks.
Don’t worry, I’ll feel as old as you one day haha. Have a good one man
I loved the old gospel choir... can we act like we never broke each other's hearts... you're definitely not meant to pick a side and it was so relatable at the time
Do you listen to Sorority Noise? I’m a relatively new subscriber & haven’t heard you mention them yet. I saw them as an opening act with The Menzingers & Bayside. I absolutely LOVE The Menzingers, but they sounded so dull & lackluster because Sorority Noise played the best opening set I’ve ever experienced.
I had never heard of Sorority Noise before, but I became obsessed. I’ve never once seen an opening act that gave me goosebumps & made my heart burst. They have songs about the normal things - depression, anxiety, & relationships, but the thing that got my attention immediately was the lead singer’s candidness about his struggles with drug use & addiction. I am a recovering heroin addict (just celebrated 11 years!), and I haven’t really come across this. People allude to using drugs, but Sorority Noise has a song that begins with “I started using again...”
It was exactly what I needed at that moment in time. I was struggling with the news of an ex recently relapsing - a guy that I had loved very much, but we weren’t close anymore.
After the show I got on Facebook to message Scott (my ex). We hadn’t spoken in almost 2 years at that point, and I saw that I had missed the last message he sent me - and it was a link to Sorority Noise’s song Black Heart, Black Lungs. Apparently he had seen them open up for the Hotelier, and the song made him think of me. I reached out to him, but I was in another relationship. My boyfriend wasn’t that fond of Scott (for valid reasons), and Scott didn’t want to talk to me because I had chosen to be with my boyfriend and not him.
He ended up overdosing last October, and it has crushed me. I still think of him daily, and music has been impossibly hard to listen to. Fast forward to this past July, I lost my best friend to an overdose. Now I can’t listen to anything without losing my shit.
I never imagined living a life without music, but I can’t listen to music without crying. Literally any music. Sometimes it’s cathartic to cry, but it’s not cool showing up to work or the grocery store with swollen, bloodshot eyes & black streaks running down my cheeks.
Sorry for the word vomit. But I love your channel. Thanks for making me think about music again. I’ve been making lists of bands you mention that I haven’t heard before. Scott & Brent were my music buddies. We had similar tastes & really connected with music. I haven’t been brave enough to listen to anything yet - my brain associates music with pain. It doesn’t really matter what the lyrics are, who sings it, or what genre it is. Hopefully I work through it one day.
Oh my god this affected me so much. Hey stay strong and im sorry for your losses :( music can help u cope with stuff in your life too however. Stay strong 💜🏹
@@strawberrywigz1658 I still can't listen to music without getting sucker punched in the feels. I only listen to music if I want to release some of my sadness because I will cry. It can be Sorority Noise, Bayside, Kesha....I cried when I heard Lil Wayne's Carter V.
Music has been such a big part of my life. I never expected to live a life without music. I thought I would be taking my son to shows as he grew up. I went to see The Spill Canvas a month after Brent died without him and I ugly cried the entire time. I'm even fucking crying now just replying. Grief is heavy & grief is hard. Thank you for the kind words. 🖤
@@meganeff omg look, I'm at loss of words. U seem like a beuraiful human, u really seem to be! But let me just tell u one thing; we are in this together. I'm a trans girl and everytime I hear hotelier I can't help but cry. But that's fine, right! Crying is human and crying is healthy and letting out emotions is definitely healthy! So don't feel so bad. It'll take time. Don't worry and rip sorority noise 💜
@@strawberrywigz1658 ahhh the hotelier. that shit hits hard too - because they are amazing & they talk about grief intimately. Scott introduced me to them. Thank you for taking the time to respond. People don't always like to bring up people after they die because they think it will hurt the person grieving., but I love getting to tell their story. I think it hurts more when people dance around the subject or pretend like it never happened because I can't just carry on like normal.I also really don't want them to be forgotten.
@@meganeff I understand! Hey do u have like a discord or something u seem like a really good person and I would love to talk in a place more convenient than yt comments
this is magnificently.
you gotta talk about "Perfect Cast ep" it's not a full record but I think it's important to the MOBO mythos
You should definitely do a video on The Perfect Cast
The Perfect Cast is probably my favorite release of theirs! Its worth talking about!
Ive never heard broken cash machine but reading those lyrics on screen hit harder than most lyrics ive heard damn
I've only started listening to midwest emo music recently. I'm 16 and this is my music. I love it. they literally get it man and they're sound is amazing aswell as their simple yet deep lyricism
Look at us... all secretly listening to these amazing bands
Loving this series dad
Thank you!!
life was so much better when these guys were still together
ive been waiting for this
I think having a video about the perfect cast and all of their non album singles would be a good idea.
How am I always early for the MoBo videos haha, I’m lovin’ this content Nate
You should totally do a fourth video about the EP'S
Exactly what i needed after a shitty school dag
hits differently during a covid :(
To any looking for one more song sung by Kevin, there's a song called "The Quark" off a mashup album called "Asian Man Music for Asian Man People Vol 2"
Not really related to the video, but where do you buy your hats? Been looking for one for a long time and can't find any good looking ones.
I was supposed to see them back in 2016 when they toured with Brand New but I was late and missed them and The Front Bottoms 😭
I'd love to hear opinions on The Nameless Ranger; as someone who loves everything they ever put out, TNR is my favorite Mobo release and it isn't even close.
They are basically if Superbad was a band
Subscribed as soon as I heard Caterpillars by Walter Etc.
How Modern Baseball Wrote A Pop Punk Masterpiece :
By being masterpieces as well
didnt know i could maintain goosebumps for 18 minutes
Can you do ever do an sorority noise type of video like this
Nate I'm super curious about the context of Mass Redone. I've heard it's about Bren's relationship with Jake. I would love a shorter video on that and the other track from the polyvinyl release, intersection. Great stuff so far. Long live Mobo
Please make one of the EP its my personal favorite
mobo changed my fucking life
Watching this on YGMIA’s 10th anniversary
Yes
i miss them.
12:20 is it weird that I’m the exact opposite of that picture? 😂
I found this band so long ago while I was drunk alone in my friends basement after my ex broke up w me. Needless to say I was jamming.
I love this album. I always listen to it in bedtime esp to 'Two Good Things' but I don't think this album is pop punk. It is more like folk rock. Nice content btw.
I wish they were still together, I would have loved to see them in concert
I thought they're just on a hiatus
Harira Sekar they said they were but it’s been years so I doubt they’ll come back
Man I remember the greatest generation tour. We were the first stop on the tour and it happened almost exactly a year from the wonder years last show near me in 2013. The difference in who I was between the 2013 show and the 2014 show was sort of something I didn't deal with well because my life had gotten really dark in that time frame, and I was already sad to begin with.
I say all this because for that one night I had a room full of friends. Grabbing random strangers while we all yelled sad songs and hugged and put our arms around eachother. That generation of "sadboy" pop punk really was the last time I felt whole and even though alot of these bands still exist from the scene it's not the same any more. Everyone is so divided nowadays and every band needs to make some type of political statement or needs to drive home the fact that they're a bigger band now and put on some massive theatrical bullshit that us as sad mid-20s whatevers cant relate to anymore. Shows still feel alright, but theyll never be how they were in the 2012 to 2014 era and that makes me sad.
I used to hate this band for their immature sound but after going through a hard break up, I can relate to all of their lyrics weirdly well. They have been the best form of therapy for me and I'm really thankful for that.
Thats the best part imo, the immature sound resonates with a deep part of you that you may rather look past and ignore but will always be part of you; that sad lost kid trying to mkae it in a cruel and scary world
Nate You NEED to listen to a band called gold route, crimanlly underatted
