One night I took an eighth of mushrooms and listened to all of Modern Baseballs music and it was the best most enlightening and emotion provoking thing ever.

The thing I love most about music, is that a certain song is always unchanging no matter what goes on in your life.
A song can be there when you're dancing with your first girlfriend. A song can be there when you're at a university graduation party. A song can be there when you're showing your second daughter all the music you used to love.
A song can be there when you're daughter is a teenager and you walk past her room and you hear her listening to it.
A song can be there one day when you're sixty seven and driving down a highway and it comes on the radio.


The same song has been with you for so many parts of your life, being the single constant that doesn't change.

Their last upload may have been in 2015 but I'm still listening today

0:58 when that crunch of guitars hits it's like pure perfection.

There are 3 steps you MUST take when listening to Modern Baseball

1.) Lay down
2.) Try not to cry
3.) Cry a lot

"Too drunk to lie, , too drugged to be alone."

Holy shit the feels. Constant repeat. 🤘❤

[daleleith]

After watching the documentary this song hits home even more

[damirhere]

It's been more than a year and a half, we broke up and met 7-8 times, I can not let her go, this fall I found out that she took drugs and is in rehab, at the beginning of this winter we got back together, at one point I realized that I can not torture myself like this, I hope I can forget her.

Didn’t watch your ex’s set
I just left and thought about you;
Like when your teeth graze those lips
When you begin to smile

Later, you took my hand
You lead us to the doorway
But you let go of me
Once you saw all your friends

And I’ve known you forever
At least that’s what I tell Jake
When I’m too drunk to walk home
When your brother is away

You suggested I write a song about the first time we met
But I can’t seem to remember where or when

Couldn’t watch your ex’s set
Instead I wrote this song about you
Thought, "would you show your kids, if you found the time was right?”

You’d tell them where and when
You never thought I’d leave the east coast
We were young and full of sin
And I too dumb to understand

Yet I’ve loved you forever
At least that’s what I tell Holt
When I’m too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone

You suggested I write a song about the first time we met
Well I don’t wanna remember there or then

So, is this the hook you wanted?
Is it stuck inside your head?
Can you sing it with your friends, or alone?

So, am I what you needed?
Say you love me to my face
Grin and gossip, walk away and then go…

“So is this the hook you wanted?
To sing about me to my friends?
Well you’re just stuck inside your head, all alone

You were all I needed
Said I loved you to your face
But you just laughed and walked away

[Mortoton]

This song sounds so heavy. I think Mobo gonna do a Pinkerton with their next album.

Damn, depression is hitting Bren hard.

[Prometheonlol]

The guitar at 1:29 is one of my favorite parts of the song. sounds so nice

[davidmitchell-baker]

This is honestly my favourite song of this year.
I love the progression in the music; it retains MOBO's emo/punk style whilst adding a grunge-type element to it.
The lyrics are great and evoke such emotion, you can really hear it in Brendan's voice and it just hits you when you really listen to them.
These guys are onto something incredible and it's only a matter of time until they break the big time.

"said i loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away" vs. "with tears in my eyes i begged you to say, you said hey man i love you but no fucking way"

[crackheadadventures]

One of the best Modern Baseball songs. I love this. It's good, honest writing...and some of the lyrics I connect to. I miss MoBo. I hope they had fun together when they were a band.


Whatever forever

[agucciverse]

this was the first band I saw live. back in 2015 in detroit. still wear my modern baseball shirt from that concert all the time..., introduced me to so many more of my favorite artists and bands... pup, jeff rosenstock, tiny moving parts, sorority noise. recently saw slaughter beach dog live again. hope bren, jake, sean, and ian are doing good.

thanks modern baseball for the good times.

I always come back to this one. This song helped me through the grief of my first big heartbreak from a boy i only knew a couple months but that shattered my soul. This song was on replay on my mp3-player (yes i still have one of those) and for weeks on end i listend to nothing but this song. Now my heart has healed a lot but i still am not ready for any kind of commitment. The only thing i am commited to is this, this song. Rip Mobo you helped through a lot i love you all and i wish every single person returning to this song that theyll be happy someday. Have a great life y'all. Till we see each other again;)

"Oh you were all I needed
Said I loved you to your face
But you just laughed and walked away" Gets me every time.

[kevinguccione]

this song makes me feel ok with my broken heart... I've been performed this song over and over and over and over and everytime I do I try my best not to cry...

[danielvelez]

This song is getting me through my worst breakup ever ❤️ needed this it’s therapy

[annabellajankowski]
