“When I’m too drunk to lie and too drugged to be alone” one of the best lyrics created

[@xAudiolith]

Some of their stuff is seriously sophisticated. I mean I love the whole discography but this song in particular has so much to teach regarding writing, phrasing, arrangement, etc. As a musician it's fun as hell to pick these songs apart. There really is a reason why MoBo is such a classic!

Fuck, Lukens, I hope you found peace man. You saved so many people from feeling alone in their emotions, captured such a powerful feeling of community among so many lost souls, and probably pulled some people back from the brink of giving up entirely. Yes, every member of MOBO is special, they're extremely talented and wonderful individuals. But all of us, and this seems to be bizarrely true across most fans, see something special in Lukens. He isn't one of us, he's all of us, and I hope he knows how it feels to have somebody speak to a part of your soul that you didn't know existed. I fucking love this man, and I hope with every fiber of my being that he is on the path to recovery. Good luck man ❤️

They like stuff occasionally on twitter, and Bren goes by they/them pronouns now, Jake mentioned it on a podcast not too long ago.

I hope Bren comes back soon tho cause they’re easily my favorite musical artist of all time

yeah, its currently 4:18 AM and just maybe you're also staying up late listening to all the acoustic sessions of MOBO. It's hard to explain to people how much this band means to me, and maybe its just me but ever since they split, every song just hits harder and harder. There is no other band that has ever impacted me the way these guys did. They will forever be my all time favorite band. Something that hits me even harder is that the last line from Holy Ghost, their last album, is "even if you cant see it now, we're proud of what's to come, and you" We miss you MOBO

It’s 5am on a Thursday morning and I haven’t slept. I’m struggling again. I hope anyone who reads this finds peace and finds hope. Modern baseball has always been that hope for me. They’re tattooed on my left thigh and will forever be a reminder to think deeper than what is on the surface. To remember life is bigger than what’s on the surface. I will watch this video for the thousandth time knowing I can find peace with myself.

[@TylerJosephSmith]

[@catpupilsinpublic]

I’ve had many of those nights myself. I hope you’ve had a few less since leaving this comment. A lot can change in half a year. How are you now? You’re right. There’s more this life offers than these sleepless nights. This struggle. Maybe it’s about finding our way through. I’ve spent the better part of my life struggling. When you know nothing otherwise - it’s easy to lose yourself. I’m glad you have hope. I’m glad you’re still here. Don’t stop thinking there’s a better day out there somewhere.

So much emotion in this song, Bren genuinely looks and sounds like he’s about to cry in this song. One of the best songs ever written.

[@ThisIsDownstate]

i randomly found this song last night. i already spent all night listening to their live recordings. what a band. the singer is so captivating and full of emotion. The lyrics of this one, just damn. Many of us wish we could enjoy the memories of lost loves but we can't and that sucks. What a great band, I'm gonna enjoy listening to their whole discography.

[@AngelGonzalez-qn1pr]

Didn't watch your ex’s set. I just left and thought about you; like when your teeth graze those lips, when you begin to smile. Later, you took my hand. You lead us to the doorway, but you let go of me once you saw all your friends. And I've known you forever. At least that's what I tell Jake, when I'm too drunk to walk home, when your brother's away. You suggested I write a song about the first time we met, but I can't seem to remember where or when. Couldn't watch your ex's set. Instead I wrote this song about you. Thought, "would you show your kids, if you found the time was right?" You'd tell them where and when. You never thought I'd leave the east coast. We were young and full of sin. And I too dumb to understand. Yet I've loved you forever. At least that's what I tell Holt, when I'm too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone. You suggested I write a song about the first time we met, well I don't wanna remember there or then. So, is this the hook you wanted? Is it stuck inside your head? Can you sing it with your friends, or alone? So, am I what you needed? Say you love me to my face, grin and gossip, walk away and then go... "So is this the hook you wanted? To sing about me to my friends? Well you're just stuck inside your head, all alone. Oh, you were all I needed. Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away."

This is the most underrated MoBo song and that oven range is really nice. Overall great kitchen set up. Classic 2004 era blender to the left of bren. Food processor on top of the cabinets above Jake. I do wonder if that hood is an actual vent or just decorative.

[@Shrek2boogaloo]

Mobo is the band that truely saved my life and will always have such a special place in my heart. Whenever im really depressed i come to these acoustic vids for comfort. And yes. I cry EVERYTIME i watch this one

[@catpupilsinpublic]

I’m the same. When there’s no one around I come to videos like these. It’s something else. There’s a lot of these acoustic performances for you to discover out there. Though I hope for many less low nights. I can recommend you a few I go to when I’m feeling down, or just need a friend. Gregory and the hawk - oats we sow (acoustic) Frightened Rabbit - my backwards walk (acoustic) Frightened Rabbit ft Manchester Orchestra - architect (acoustic) Frightened Rabbit - good arms vs bad arms (acoustic) I’m alone often - so I’ve stumbled across a little too much of these performances. But I can’t complain. There’s magic out there and I hope you find more and more. There’s even live shows that you can watch from particular artists that give this feeling of intimacy and comfort. One I thoroughly enjoyed was Alex G: secret basement show. It’s about 28 mins and it’s all acoustic , and it’s all gonna make you feel. I hope you stumble across gold soon enough - music does wonders for us. I feel you. It’s hard for me too. ❤️

I learned this song on the guitar to surprise my guitar/singer friend. I went to his house, tuned his electric, gave him the lyrics and told him to try to sing along. That was such a killer night in my life, and this song caused it. We jammed out so hard so unexpectedly but I for once felt alright being in someone's world like that for a second.

[@joshs5135]

As someone who loves hardcore and punk. I love MoBo, they are a constant reminder that punk/hardcore isn’t a sound. It’s an energy. They have that punk feel to me. They recorded in random kitchens and played other people’s stupid songs they just liked. and they built everything they ever made themselves just cuz they wanted to.

I’m sad they aren’t touring or making music anymore but this song? It has hit me harder than probably any other song.

[@CSk401]

This is the fist song I decided to learn to sing and play on. It's extremely easy, and it has the utmost meaning to me over all MoBo songs. To me, this song represents the only person who has ever convinced me to have a child with her. I gave her my life, and as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she left me for ex boyfriend. She is now doing her absolute best to keep my son from me, and telling people its her current boyfriend(who is infertile as a rock, I might add.) so I'll have to take her to court, because I am NOT loosing my son. So yeah. I don't know THEIR meaning in the song, but I sure as fuck know what it means to me. Edit: This song goes hand in hand with the Revenge of the Nameless Ranger live acoustic from the same session. But always after. Always

[@bunkbeds3001]
