"Long Distance Drunk"
Modest Mouse
The Lonesome Crowded West

Nmber of listens: ||
Stars (out of 5): 3

Someone gave me this CD. I took it because back then (circa 2001), Modest Mouse was the cool band to be into. I never really liked and still don't. Sure, I find some of their stuff catchy and different in an okay, inventive way but I have yet to ever think, "Gee, I really want to hear some Modest Mouse right now!"

This song is all about the constant beat in the background and the repeating lyrics at almost equal volume with everything else. The beat is very soothing so I have this song a 3 out of 5 rating. It kind of captures that depressed feeling that comes sometimes after drinking. The song soothes and drones at the same time.


Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
(Hang it up now or never)
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
Hang it up now or never
Hang it up again
Doesn't seem like anything you're saying or doing or doing
Is making any sense
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Long distance drunk
Oh yeah oh yeah
(8 AM and someone calls you on the telephone)
Long distance drunk
(You want to be by yourself and all alone)
Long distance drunk
