One of my favourite songs of all time, it truly is a gem. Isaac Brock you touch me so~

@Audrey Kelly Just an opinion. It's not even that far out there, really. Strangers to Ourselves has gotten a lot of mixed reviews. According to Jeremiah Green we're getting a new one soon, so there's something to look forward to for all of us.

[@daisywrabbit]

[@aees9832]

I use to play this album on repeat and this was one of my favorite songs on it. It's redicilas how hearing it again can bring back such vivid memories from over 15 years ago....i remember the moments leading up to reviving this album, and how I couldn't put it down so it went every where with me....through the ok, the bad and the even worse....cant believe it's been 15 years!

[@davehead4real]

this is one of the best songs ever.

[@reg_inw8511]

The first listen didn't get me, but second time did. Isaac, you are one impressive spirit.

-Lyrics Smells like autumn, smells like leaves You don't know that you'll rust and not belong so much And then get, left alone Suck it up, take a ride and take a walk And don't you know that old folks' homes smell so much, like my own The hotcha girls at the palisades Dime store keets, pretty birds, pretty mouths Mama's little truck stop rose, her dancy feet her happy laugh We were dropping dimes on the ponies in the cul-de-sac, Casting shadows throwing sparks. (The mail came from miles away The postal man is always late, and we wait) We left our teeth marks on the barrel of the gun The clipper ship across your chest (Glass eyes and wooden teeth, the engine rusted in deep, deep sleep It waits, to awake) Turns out the pony only had one trick, a wink for the truck stop boys (Tight lipped with a big ol' mouth, The government workers all headed south while it rained) They learned it all from the Polaroids (Outside with the wooden teeth, the engine rusted in disbelief, away) Smells like autumn, smells like leaves You don't know that you'll rust and not belong so much And then get, left alone Suck it up, take a ride and take a walk And don't you know that old folks' homes smell so much, like my own Time bends light Paint's all peeling Wait outside Take four rights The hotcha girls in the palisades Dime store keets, pretty birds, pretty mouths Glass eyes and the wooden teeth, The engine's rusted in deep, deep sleep, it waits The mail came from miles away, the postal man was always late, And we wait Tight lipped with a big ol' mouth, The government workers all headed south while it rained Glassy eyes and wooden teeth, The engine's rusted in deep, deep sleep It waits, it waits, it waits, to awake

[@jakesauce9473]

please upvote lyrics, first time vistors should be able to sing along....

[@WalterSobchak-gq8ps]

Every once in a while I come back and remember

[@gatorsdog1613]

The song appears to capture a sense of nostalgia, decay, and the passage of time. The lyrics seem to evoke a feeling of autumn and its associated imagery. The repeated line "Smells like autumn, smells like leaves" could symbolize the changing seasons and the fleeting nature of moments. The theme of rust and not belonging suggests a sense of deterioration and the inevitable decay of things, including relationships and experiences. The notion of being left alone and having to "suck it up" implies a resignation to the realities of life. References to old folks' homes, truck stops, and government workers heading south could hint at the passage of time and the way places and people change over the years. The repeated imagery of "glass eyes and wooden teeth" and the engine rusting in sleep could metaphorically represent the aging process and the slowing down of life's momentum. The mention of the "ponies in the cul-de-sac" and learning from Polaroids implies a sense of innocence and memory, as if looking back on simpler times. The repeated lines about the postal man being late and waiting could symbolize anticipation, longing, and the slow pace of life. The song seems to blend moments of reflection, regret, and observation of life's cyclical nature. It touches on themes of longing, decay, and the passage of time, ultimately creating a sense of wistful introspection. The repetition of certain phrases throughout the song adds to its meditative quality, inviting listeners to consider the deeper meanings within the lyrics.

[@orionstarr5313]

Wow this is almost as deep as the song. Thanks for sharing friend

[@michaelg2502]

Isaac Brock can REALLY sing

[@saadmaan3313]

His voice is so interesting and I'd love to see them live, he really puts emotion into his sound

[@tarrasque419]

It's not Isaac, Ugly Casanova featured Isaac and also the lead vocalist from Holopaw. So like in this song, for example, the crooning voice is the dude from Holopaw. Isaac's vocals on this one sound pretty much like his default affect from Modest Mouse.

either that, or we'd all be just as clueless and vulnerable as Isaac in these songs.

[@tommyjoe97]

large_cat oh yeah like mainstream music isnt clueless vulnerability at it's finest at least there is a message behind everyone of Brock's lyrics and in this song's case the fact that he is even singing is at least provinig he isn't an egotistical arrogent asshole like most dime-a-dozen singers in today's time.

[@harperna3938]

i've always been a big fan of modest mouse and ugly casanova alike, but i think isaac's songwriting really peaked with this album. his earlier work up through "moon and antarctica" was compelling and provacative, but a lot of the lyrics bordered a bit too much on word association and a striking chorus rather than a cohesive lyrical whole (look no further than the six or so tracks on "lonesome crowded west" that just have isaac repeating the same phrases over and over again). his work from "good news" on lost its edge, in part because he was in a much stabler, more comfortable place. don't get me wrong, i still love his post-casanova anthology, but it doesn't hit quite the same. ugly casanova was kind of his last chance to really experiment, it feels like.

[@ascendingcosmicsoul1682]

I used to try and drink myself to death. Id lay there with a single emotuonless tear running down my cheeck and go to sleep hopeing id never wake up. Id always wake up 12 hours later shit faced to hear this song on repeat and repeat the process. Never worked out but I still love this song more then anything...
