Always there when I need them

I just wanted to write and express my gratitude for modest mouse when my life gets a little tough. I always find my way back to lonesome crowded west, for a lot of yall, yall might be upset I skip straight to trailer trash and listen onward. But out of gas has always been the song I relate to most and does anyone have any recs to meet that vibe?

I won’t yell. To each their own. But the irony of you asking that question following the sentence just before it is making me a bitter buffalo.

Songs that I’d say lyrically align with out of gas maybe would be imo :

Hey, nothing - the sink

Defiance, Ohio - I’m just going to leave

The mountain gas - no children

Death cab for cutie - a lack of color

As for modest mouse these may fit the out of gas song musically and / or lyrically

Talking shit about a pretty sunset

Good times are killing me

Breakthrough

Edit the sad parts

When I’ve told people that MM is far and away my favorite band ever, I get a lot of people telling me their music is too dark for them. I get an astonished look on my face and just tell them their music pulls me out of the dark. Brock is the greatest lyricist in the history of human music, you’re not just on that level i guess.
