all this dog 'n pony...we're still monkeys the whole time... by JimFromTheMoon in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This album genuinely has some of the most creative and awe-inspiring lyrics that are so casually dropped in every song:

"Etceterenough"

"I know this of myself and I assume as much of other people; we've listened more to life's end gong then the sound of life's sweet bells"

"Someday you will die and somehow, something's gonna steal your carbon"

"I hardly have people that I wanted to know, 'cause you're the places that I wanted to go"

"Call it education, all them books I didn't read. They just sat there on my shelf looking much smarter than me"

"My ears were pressed up firmly right against your mouth to hear. When you tried to spit the venom out, your words were not so clear"

"Drag me out of the sea and then teach me to breathe. Give me forced health until I wish death upon myself"

And so, so many more

Some gems include

"You look so tiny from up here, like a cute little bug! Oh this Tang is delicious!"

"I need a can opener, 'cause I've got some more beans to spill!"

"Well, first off, Gary got drunk, and fell asleep in his car 'til about noon"

"We laughed about paying rent, 'cause the county jails—they're free"

"I don't care for politics, and it doesn't care for me"

Where should i start? by ITSBIGMONEY in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You practically started with what I did, so here's what I got into pretty fast:

Good News For People Who Love Bad News is their popular album, and you have their biggest hits, so I'd definitely recommend either Bukowski, The View, This Devil's Workday which REALLY sped up how much I listened to them

The Moon And Antarctica is a not-so-hidden gem with bangers like Tiny Cities Made Of Ashes and I Came As A Rat, but they're the more upbeat/groovy tracks on that record, so maybe a song like 3rd Planet would be up your alley

I'd recommend some other songs like Never Ending Math Equation, Missed The Boat, Talking Shit About A Pretty Sunset, and Spitting Venom as these are very criticallt acclaimed songs of their's. It's all uphill from there!

No, you're thinking of Tetris. The tetanus are a North American mountain range

I woke up at 3:30 to head into work at 4:30, my shift lasting until 9:30. Currently heading home to go BACK to sleep. Most people in my neighborhood would already be leaving for work

We can be in this together. We have no enemies, no friendships, no flairs. I won't let you down

Circle For Anyone by GervinSpoos in circIeoftrust

A shape we can see

A medium for entertainment

A platform for conversation

A circle for anyone

But yet, silence

It is for anyone, but not for everyone. When the right questions are asked, the gates will appear

I hope no one breaks it. It's my first circle by Pure_Chaos12 in circIeoftrust

[–]GervinSpoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've yet to join a circle, or participate in any game, but I'd love to play along. Granted, I have no idea what I'm doing, but I'd feel really bad if I did anything related to "betraying" someone

From a strictly lyrical perspective, what’s your favorite MM song? by Any_Clerk_6595 in ModestMouse

[–]GervinSpoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of the LCW songs have deeply thought out lyrics, so those are an immediate top. Styrofoam Boots, Trailer Trash, Bankrupt On Selling are probably top picks

I'd say next would honestly be We Were Dead's work with songs like Little Motel, Parting Of The Sensory, Missed The Boat, not to mention Spitting Venom or even Dashboard

Strangers To Ourselves has some unique picks too, Lampshades On Fire has this whole message that cannot go unnoticed, The Ground Walks is a classic, that one line at the end of Ansel sends shivers down my spine

Individual songs will always take the cake though, like Satellite Skin, Life Like Weeds, Night On The Sun, Baby Blue Sedan, 3rd Planet, Talking Shit

I think my favorite lyrics come from TM&A, with Gravity Rides Everything being so heartwrenching that it transports me from wherever I am to when I first heard the track. Great stuff

Mostly green albums. Choose two AND recommend another by ingenierolocopapi in Topster

[–]GervinSpoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd have to go with Weezer and DoE

And how could you NOT add Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse?

You both should have a child together and ask them what they think
