[@annaocampo8044]

ME TOOOO

[@annaocampo8044]

I went to a bar one night and someone played this on the juke box and felt so sad I couldn’t find who was playing the song 💔

[@agdrummer2610]

Hard to find each other in real life.

[@mastakush4272]

I am, I saw them the last 3 times they played in MI, their incredible live.

[@PBunyanOx]

This album is even better 15 years later.

[@msbookdragon]

I watch this video every time I get sad. It's impossible to be in a bad mood afterwards (especially at 1:17)

[@asee7186]

Forever & Always

[@mastakush4272]

Saw them the last 3 times they played in MI!😢

[@AmandaLaggan]

Surreal to know I have lived in that town and have seen all those scenes so long ago. What crazy, beautiful nightmare it was.

[@hoobaguy]

Was basketball themed interpretive dance big there, or something?

[@ryanwells8032]

Thanks for all of your music over the last 17 years or so.

[@lizetteg7972]

Im still listening to them, till this day!

[@D14EVA]

Just saw them last night. They are AMAZING live! One of the best songs I have been to.

[@nicholassmith8027]

Lol, I was only 15 when this comment was posted and I loved this music. Wish I got to see them live :(

[@crys1884]

It's 2022 and this still slaps 🥲

[@missvincent7017]

This song is so good I shared it once and then clicked to share it again 45 seconds later until I realized 😂. ❤️ many thanks to the old friend who showed me this band.

[@gabrielpimentel139]

2019 and this is still my shiiiit!!!😁🖖

[@Matt-ov9gp]

Love this band. My best friend in high school showed them to me years ago. Thanks Corey, love ya brother -Matthew John

[@TheLandshark42]

Throwin' Shapes is an especially meaningful song to me. It reminds of me of a particular time of my life which includes a particular girl. It's just one of those things. While nothing significant ever developed and she's forever part of my past, I'll never really forget her.

[@MassAmorphous]

I just found this song (and have been listening to it on repeat); I have no idea how this isn't a much bigger hit but I'm glad it exists nonetheless.

[@mastakush4272]

I saw them the last 3 times they played in MI, their incredible live.

[@pennystowers6491]

One of the best things I've ever seen

[@hoobaguy]

How have I never seen this? This is in my top 5 favorite MTB songs! Wth?!

[@thecalvatron1955]

I can't stop listening to this song.

[@SlaughterhouseJTV]

the talent these guys have still amazes me. Hearing their music never fails to put me in a good mood no matter how bad i feel. Much love and respect to you Minus the Bear and all other fans good job on recognizing good music!

[@sweetheart4u2harris54]

Still my favorite...the video is everything

[@demaszstyo9644]

Something mysterious with this song. It sounds pretty up-beat, yet so bittersweet and depressing.

[@MrMysterioGrim]

This video has so much artistic value.

[@CroCop77100]

I just love this song soooooo much lol i keep listening to it over and .........over

[@fpcguitarist320]

this is the best music video i've ever seen

[@ohdasme_lilj]

Damn, I miss you guys. Been listening to all your records lately. Insane to think this was 16 years ago. WTF?! I've been there since '01. We all grew old together. Your shows were always my favorite. Hope you all are doing well and are happy.

[@sonarmass1]

This song makes me run through a bunch of emotions :)

[@s3ntimental]

[@jasonwelch6177]

Love, love, love this video!

[@deerinheadlights9784]

Was one of my first concerts that i remember going to

[@antigravity000]

I love how the drum beat in the beginning fits rhythmically with the guy's air dribbling.

[@clarkeeclark]

great videos, greatest band

[@PapaSquattt]

God, I love this music video. Such a beautiful love story 😭

[@gwiz83]

this song, cranked up is just infectious! I can't stop singing it and the video is Great! MTB all the way

[@DogInTheFray6037]

Minus the Bear is Great at Capturing the essence of some of the best relationships in our lives, with subtle progressive tones and breakdowns giving that excitement (the up) and the chaos (the downs) that our found in unforgettable relationships.

[@fizzldizz]

god i love the sound of this song and the feeling it gives me when i here it very up beat nice.

[@didgist]

This song and video make me cry, and i'm not the cryin' type! Very cute.

[@supasta3]

they never cease to amaze me :)

[@annesoubi]

not even itunes could count how many times ive played this in my head @_@

[@GreenTeaAT8]

This is my new favorite band... i dunno why.. its not the usual stuff i listen too.. i guess its because the music is well written... something most bands don't know how to do anymore

[@kennethwebb4937]

Minus the bear is evergreen. ♥️

[@onenative]

Luv this song!!!

[@nosillx]

I Love This Band So Freakin' Much. & This Video Makes Me Smile xD.

[@PrimevalArt]

Favorite Song by them!

[@afaceinacloud]

I love this song so much, but you guys freakin' NAILED it on the music video... the concept is so ridiculously fun and stupid, and yet the amazingly romantic videography really takes it away from being Napoleon Dynamiteesqe and turns into something so different from what we expect.

[@bigtallguy97]

This is such a fantastic song, paired with a great video.

[@stadiumarcadiumfan1]

Lol, thank you. I was wondering why it was blurred. Btw. this video is just... amazing. Heh Gotta love Minus the Bear :)

[@patriciajohnson8204]

I've never seen the video for this before, it's hilarious!

[@Aro2220]

this is my favourite song right now i'm glad i searched out this video....it was hilarious.

[@frodonator]

I think it's a great video, It's hilarious but at the same time has a great message behind it.

[@Benjigga]

This video is awesome. Can't wait to see you guys on NYE!!

[@skullywully666]

i would have never thought of that idea for the video lol but i thinks its SUPER unique, and i love this song and the vid.

[@daedley]

Dave Knudson should do more solos because he's really good . He's one of my top guitar influences. Some of his solos should be free form using every different effect he has. It would be crazy epic like the psychedelic stuff of the 60s and 70s.

[@InvaderChrissy]

This video is awesome haha & Minus The Bear is by far one of the best bands I've heard in long while

[@mysensazn]

HAHAHAHA LOL I love this video! The music is pretty cool :D I'm so glad I stumbled upon this.

[@linoacuna7230]

I love this song and vid

[@FabulousKilljoy]

Nice pfp

[@semifixtion]

I love all the views of downtown Seattle in this

[@parcheeezi]

hahaha that amazing lady in the video was my senior year u.s. history teacher! go hawes! :D minus the bear rocks!

[@recordedsleep21]

This video reminds me of the show spaced,which is a very good thing.Its also a serious,mature album and this is the lightest fun sounding song on there. It deserve a great hilarious video to go with it.

[@MrXclus1v3]

This video is hilarious...Good song makes me smile

[@zehanib7858]

[@Roysito]

Guys you're the best math rock band of all history!!!

[@puciato7540]

The fact that this song was written about a storm rolling in over a bay is incredible.

[@pennystowers6491]

I was having a bad day but this video always cheers me up :) so awesome

[@numbered_sounds]

great song, good album

[@paulpoints]

This song is so good. I also love Dave Knudson's work in botch too haha.

[@spankythedog56]

i know i have better things to do, but i just want to sit here and listen to this song over and over and over and over and over and over and over.....and then do it all over again.

[@stinecg]

They are so vicious!

[@jeffsimione1707]

I cant stop playing throwing shapes by minus the bear hahaha

[@daedley]

Minus the Bear forever

[@cakredi4132]

Their best tune. *Fight me.*

[@matthewcobrien]

The first part is on California Avenue, West Seattle. The rooftop is in Belltown, Seattle.

[@wolfsatyr]

Jesus, I've personally been to absolutely everywhere this was filmed. Even the roof of the building at the end, it's on 2nd and Cherry. I've lived in Seattle for too long.

[@TomPMelanson]

@mythunderthighs awesome! That makes me soo happy.

[@TomPMelanson]

@mythunderthighs OMg! Awesome. You may have to come to Texas though...

[@estilkind]

Never heard of this phrase or song until Sky Sports used it this morning. Video is hilarious!
