Lyrics:
Modesto isn’t boring like you thought it would be
Modesto it’s not bologna like you thought it would be
Modesto isn’t lonely like you thought it would be
At first I got a vacuum cleaner salesman job
For men I later recognized in Glengarry Glen Ross
I only sold one
She couldn’t afford it
She wrote out the check
And burst out sobbing
After work I hung out with my new church friends and traded stories
We decided I should quit and then we laughed and carried on til morning
Next day I got a part-time job at the local guitar store
Modesto isn’t boring like you thought it would be
Modesto it’s not bologna like you thought it would be
Modesto isn’t lonely like you thought it would be
I heard the perfect song at work today
Having asked if there were bands to see and spots to play
Jim said hell yeah then he handed me a tape
What I heard in my walkman headphones
Pacing by the speakers and PAs
Was a beautiful hilarious tragic mess
That sent tears streaming down my face
Grabbed me by the lapels, stood me up, and put a 4-track in my hand and told me son
Make all the messes you can manage to make
And move back to Seattle
Be the drummer in a band
There’s a girl from there that fridays on my lunch break
I write letters to
And I think she likes me too
And I'm gonna find out
I'm gonna go to bible college on my cousin’s dime
In my volvo wagon
Speeding up I-5

this was so cool to see. been listening to Modesto nonstop since it dropped, can’t wait for the rest of the album. you’re one of the best to ever do it, thank you for all the music 🙌
Lightening my day watching this. Thanks, Dave!
It's so dope you did this.
Loved the breakdown, beautiful tune. Thanks David.
Bro I could watch a million of these.
I love this, sounds fantastic. Imagine just having a PTL song on your laptop. I'd love to see videos like this for the entire discography tbh.
I like hearing Dave sing along to himself
Here's at least one guy who really enjoyed/appreciated this - would love to see more.
I really enjoy the format of this content. Most definitely increased my appreciation and affinity for the tune. Well done!
I dig the guitar tones on this album! I’d love to hear more about what pedals are used.
Great to see! More plz.
It’s gorgeous. Andy’s engineering and production is top notch here. Everything is so clean!
production is great , who is this andy ou speak of ?
Interesting to see how the song comes together from the different tracks. So much work obviously goes into the music, and I think it's natural for the listener to sometimes forget how the sausage is made. Thanks for posting this, I really enjoy your music. Hope all is well.
This is tidy as . Many thanks for sharing this.
3:41 This gives me goosebumps. So good
Love it! Thanks for sharing
I need more videos like this, such a cool idea
Love this, Thanks Dave. Any plans to share the stems? 👀
plus 1 on this one
Amazing!
Love this!
Love this so much
This was cool thanks Dave
Love this. You have one of my favorite voices. The instrument production sounds insanely good!
this is rad! what kanye was trying to do with his stems product but failed... you are bringing to life here.
Amazing! Preordered the new album last week, so keen!
Thanks for sharing
Very cool
Incredible
Hell yeah, thanks man! Crazy to think my band’s home studio has an extremely similar setup as one of my all time favorites! Very gratifying
Loved this, thanks David!
This is so cool amazing song
It was certainly interesting. Thanks ❤🔥
Love it come back to Tampa
This was fantastic! Thank you for this. What is that delay? It looks fun.
❤
nice, the model 24! love seeing that's what you used. i just got the model 12 for myself recently. do you feel like you actually needed all 24 tracks? love the new track, I truly think its one of the best songs you ever wrote.
Hi dave!
I enjoy the "swoop"
When's the next Headphones album coming out?
😮😮
"I did it!"
Wasnt even the right chord!! Hahaha, love it.
So what the heck is the "Bike" ?!?
It's an instrument built and played by Sean Lane, who was the drummer of Pedro for a while in the early days of Dave resurrecting that band name (2018-2020ish maybe?)

This might be too much Bazan lore for my little brain to handle, but Jim can't possibly be Jim Fairchild, right? It's already a lot to take in that Grandaddy is partially responsible for your music, but if the guitarist of that band physically made it happen that would just be too much.
Been thinking this since the song dropped.
Anyone know what kind of Prophet that is!
Does this song in any way relate to Grandaddy?
Yes, it's about the first time BAZAN heard a Grandaddy song ("Taster," which Pedro is covering on their current tour and then going right into "Modesto")
