Modest Mouse - Trailer Trash

Modest Mouse - Trailer Trash album version from their 1997 release The Lonesome Crowded West en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modest_M...

[@johndanek987]

Grew up in a single parent household in poverty. I stole this album from a buddy of mine and laid on the floor of my family’s living room playing it on repeat praying it will all be okay someday. Thank you Isaac, Eric and Jeremiah. Three lost kids making jams for lost kids just like themselves

Same here I grew up in a single mother home in a broken down trailer shits unreal how far we’ve gone since that but we always remember those times

[@austindeese4044]

KZbin comments on music like this are so special. They give you little glimpses into lives you've never lived, loves you've never felt, memories you never made but somehow you feel that connection and nostalgia. It's a weird feeling when you randomly read about the guy who once loved a girl who showed him this song and now 20 years later he cant hear this song without thinking about that time in his room she showed him this

[@MatthewJoseph677]

That's why I read them. Good summary.

I think many can relate to this song because it's about the heartache of youth and growing up. Once a person reaches a certain age they can look back and see many regrets and missed opportunities , as well as mistakes not in their control. Maybe the song is apologizing to itself so that it can move on toward a more mellow chapter.

Of all the songs by Modest Mouse, this is the best 'acceptance' song by them to just play and listen when you know your life's been signed and sealed forever.

Jason McHenry I know that feeling man, I grew up moving in and outta but spending most of my life in a town that as a whole could best be summed up as trailer trash, and this song touches base with so many experiences I've had and seen others have, it brings about a beautiful sadness in me. Especially since I have difficulty remembering many of those experiences due to heavy drug abuse during those years, I want to remember but at the same time don't, it's a crazy feeling, may not be quite the same as yours but it's amazing how music can touch base with different people like that.

[@97szig]

It was a more commercial and popular song

[@orangedalmatian]

***** It's upbeat. Catchy. And makes you feel good. Basically it appeals to the mainstream that just want songs that make them feel happy, as the majority of casual listeners use music as a form of escapism from the dreary and mundane. Don't get me wrong, Float On is a fantastic song, but it is barely on par with such masterpieces as Third Planet, King Rat, Cowboy Dan and Dramamine (and of course, Trailer Trash.) You get what I'm meaning, and this comment is pretentious enough as it is, I don't mean to sound like I think my opinion is better than the majority of music lovers, because that would just be stupid. But hey, float on, right?

[@knifeforkandaspoon]

***** Because Float On received radio airplay while this did not. Float On's notoriety was also due to the sampling of the main riff in a hip hop song. Float On was also "cleaner" while this song has a rawer edge that isn't friendly to the ears of a mainstream audience.

[@theethos5181]

+knifeforkandaspoon by "rawer edge" I think you're referring to the low fidelity. Hahaha the best part!

The more time passes, the more sure I am that Modest Mouse was the absolute peak of rock as an artform. Now that we’ve culturally moved past rock bands & indie labels (for the most part) in favor of rappers and internet collectives, i can confidently say that MM was the GOAT rock band. They’re the ultimate expression of a trend that began all the way back with blues musicians and artists like Elvis, and 50 years later, we ended up with this; the perfect band, the perfect balance of everything that made guitar music worthwhile. Equal parts raw and refined, explosive spontaneity and meticulous virtuosity, quiet introspection and angry catharsis. They managed to elevate an intentionally dumb & mindless form of music to the level of high art, without compromising any of the primal energy that made it special in the first place. Their records from Crowded West to Good News and everything in between are some of the best ever made, and will likely never be topped. This is as good as it gets, folks. Let’s not take these masterpieces for granted

[@canadiansoviet]

1 thing I'd add to your statement is that they got got better with every album. A little bit for accomplished with every album. You can't compare Lonesome to Good news but I think Lonesome shared lots with A long Drive that people don't take notice of.

The very first Modest Mouse Album I ever heard was the moon and antarctica, introduced to me by a friend and I instantly fell in love with this band. Every single song on that album is incredible. Soon after that I went out and bought every single modest mouse album I could find. I love all of there music. They incorporate so many different instruments and Isaac's lyrics and voice are so unique and incredible. Fucking love this band. I told myself this is one band that I have to see play live before I die. And on August 28th 2009 that dream was fulfilled at outside lands music festival in Sanfrancisco California. I got to see Modest Mouse and Built to Spill, Who are from Boise Idaho, I am from Idaho Falls Idaho. Pearl Jam, Cage the Elephant, Q tip, Tenacious D Atmosphere so many great performances and great bands. Best experience of my life. But anyways got to check that off my bucket list.

For everyone, there is a song they consider lyrically perfect. You have those who'll choose a Bob Dylan song or a Soundgarden song or whatever. For me, it's this. Yes, the lyrics are crude at times. Yes, they repeat, a trope I usually cannot stand. But once you look past that, what do you get? Total sadness. Brock paints this excellent picture of a guy who has grown up, gotten married, had kids, and now works at a dead-end job. When he realizes what his life has become, he reflects on every important choice that he's made up to then. He finds that his marriage was pointless, what with both spouses falling out of love, leading up to a emotionally numbing divorce. After this, he begins to understand that his children don't really mean anything to him anymore, they're just a result of the life he has sadly chosen. And now, after all this time, he is stuck, living as the titular trailer trash. High school means nothing, indeed.

I talked mad shit about this band, then I herd this song and I was sold.

seeing them live is what it took for me.

did they talk shit about you not being able to spell

[@HidastaaAmCz]

Eating snow flakes with plastic forks And a paper plate of course, you think of everything Short love with a long divorce And a couple of kids of course They don't mean anything Live in trailers with no class goddamn I hope I can pass high school means nothing Taking heartache with hard work Goddamn I am such a jerk, I can't do anything And I shout that you're all fakes And you should have seen the look on your face And I guess that's what it takes When comparing your bellyaches And it's been a long time Which agrees with this watch of mine And I guess that I miss you, and I'm sorry if I dissed you

[@Based_Blue96]

“I know that I missed you” don’t worry it was a minor mistake

[@jm-xb1kv]

Goddamn I thought it was "we should grease up this watch of mine" for way too long

[@bbseal6174]

@@jm-xb1kv lol, i thought it said "they don't need anything"

i haven’t listened to any of my old music like this and i just wanna feel again so here i am

[@calebagann]

I'm a full time RVer now with my family. Thanks Modest Mouse

[@growspace8739]

...somehow represents that feeling of inevitably discovering that your own special brand of weird sadness is just common despair that any human could potentially feel.

[@zoewillis1709]

my ex boyfriend Parker showed me this and one of our few good memories was showing each other our favorite songs and this was his i don't love you anymore

[@Hans-yo2cq]

he's got a good taste in music.

[@shanepalen9151]

One of my go to songs when I’m feeling worthless and used. Shit hits me right in the face every time

[@SabrinaUmstead]

I couldn't resist the urge to click on this song having grown up in a trailer park all my life and still living in one. Beautiful song from a powerful band I'm glad I found

[@epidemikband4974]

I fell in love with trailer trash the second that gentle strokes of the guitar hit me with fury. I swore that modest mouse created soft rock

[@julycess]

Great song never gets old

[@hunterwhitner6998]

"And I shout that you're all fake".- how true "And I know that I missed you. And im sorry if I dissed you."- true but too late. Another lost individual with deep regrets; almost 30, and skating & MM is still what gets me through after it all.

[@chefturbo4117]

One of my favorite modest mouse songs lyrically. The Iron Horse Version is so so good.

[@daniiebecker]

one of the best of MM! so classic!

[@littlebaron5573]

for real. it's my favorite

[@alexisc6136]

Gut-wrenching perfection. I cry every time. And I guess that I miss you And I'm sorry if I dissed you

[@jordansoccorsi7579]

god DAMN! Thats it!

[@cajunmandick2985]

Is it strange that im 70 yrs old, retired and sitting on my back porch smoking some of my harvest and listening to MM?. The guitar on this song is fucking awesome, I can't imagine how empty I would be without listening to this song.

[@threesmallpeopleinabigtren5056]

Reminds me of eating pebbles as a dumb kid, loving and hateing people I've met (myself included). But it's that bloody guitar bit at the end, it feels like letting go. I love these guys

[@kjsciacca]

3:32 Always get chills at this part

+Guercinator you are my favorite uploader man thank you for loving good music and taking the time to post I appreciate you

+Kyle Sciacca The Chorus gives me the most chills. Just so simple and interesting yet it pulls at your heart

[@tracilewis1448]

funny . was at 3:32 when i reD THAT

[@shmackatrotsky5394]

When that inimitable Eric Judy bassline kicks in at 3:32... wow, what a rush of emotions.

[@Air_Gare]

This band has been saving my life daily for about 10 years now. I’d honestly be dead without this shit

[@nicholas3125]

I hope I can pass high school

[@johnychrist5475]

NKLSNK that line used to fill me with anxiety, because I could relate to it So hard, but now it just fills me with nostalgia. if I can do it, you can too

[@quintincastro7430]

Johny Reyes just did super bad on all of my finals test ^_^ I'm fucking dying of fear but don't worry were all going to float on all right

Did you?

[@yelnickmcwawa5858]

Almost makes me cry

THIS is the song which got me into them, not Float On. I love it.

[@david-hf3xb]

Not many songs can really hit you but this one.... this one is a kick to the gut

I heard Trailer Trash for the first time a couple months ago. Cant get out of my head.

RIP to the greatest to ever do it, jeremiah green

[@poesiadedonovanlopez7442]

Great band i listen from México

[@Freddyfred541]

This song reminds me of a time when my brothers were alive. We grew up in a trailer park and life was a fucking disaster. Mom worked her ass off for what seems to still be nothing that amounts to the work she put into life. Fuck sometimes i wish i could just eat a bullet and be with my 3 brothers again. I'm all that's left for my mother.

[@vomitsick]

I dunno where you are now, but I know how you feel, I'm going through something similar right now, but you're comment let me know I wasn't alone

[@Annicosia]

dam modest mouse fans be going thru the most

[@martinrose6357]

One time some guy said under a Modest Mouse song: "don't feel bad for the fact many people don't know/listen to Modest Mouse, be happy that at least they didn't have to go through something that terrible that would make them listen to Modest Mouse". Makes sense.

[@pobregringo88]

hated float on when i first hear it in my early teens. Banished this band from my existence until some rough times after high school. When Florida and Spitting Venom came across my pandora in college one night my life changed. MM has been a part of helping me overcome every tough time ive faced since. these men are a testament to the power of music.

[@calebw3353]

"Taking heartache with hard work" is my existence in a sentence
