soooo is the hook you wanted? is it stuck inside your head? can you sing it with your friends, or alone? is one of the best chorus/bridge/whatever you want to call it in this type of song that ive ever heard
Some of their stuff is seriously sophisticated. I mean I love the whole discography but this song in particular has so much to teach regarding writing, phrasing, arrangement, etc. As a musician it's fun as hell to pick these songs apart. There really is a reason why MoBo is such a classic!
Fuck, Lukens, I hope you found peace man. You saved so many people from feeling alone in their emotions, captured such a powerful feeling of community among so many lost souls, and probably pulled some people back from the brink of giving up entirely. Yes, every member of MOBO is special, they're extremely talented and wonderful individuals. But all of us, and this seems to be bizarrely true across most fans, see something special in Lukens. He isn't one of us, he's all of us, and I hope he knows how it feels to have somebody speak to a part of your soul that you didn't know existed. I fucking love this man, and I hope with every fiber of my being that he is on the path to recovery. Good luck man ❤️
yeah, its currently 4:18 AM and just maybe you're also staying up late listening to all the acoustic sessions of MOBO. It's hard to explain to people how much this band means to me, and maybe its just me but ever since they split, every song just hits harder and harder. There is no other band that has ever impacted me the way these guys did. They will forever be my all time favorite band. Something that hits me even harder is that the last line from Holy Ghost, their last album, is "even if you cant see it now, we're proud of what's to come, and you" We miss you MOBO
i was singing this song when i met my best friend on a game called dayz. he said he didn't shoot me specifically because i was singing my heart out in game chat. we started a group that accumulated 15-20 people. those were some of the best days of my life. thanks mobo
It’s 5am on a Thursday morning and I haven’t slept. I’m struggling again. I hope anyone who reads this finds peace and finds hope. Modern baseball has always been that hope for me. They’re tattooed on my left thigh and will forever be a reminder to think deeper than what is on the surface. To remember life is bigger than what’s on the surface. I will watch this video for the thousandth time knowing I can find peace with myself.
I’ve had many of those nights myself. I hope you’ve had a few less since leaving this comment. A lot can change in half a year. How are you now? You’re right. There’s more this life offers than these sleepless nights. This struggle. Maybe it’s about finding our way through. I’ve spent the better part of my life struggling. When you know nothing otherwise - it’s easy to lose yourself. I’m glad you have hope. I’m glad you’re still here. Don’t stop thinking there’s a better day out there somewhere. You can find that peace you seek John! ❤️
As someone who is engaged to be wed to a wonderful woman, who can no longer access the pain of unrequited love organically, this song always brings me back to it any time I want to feel that hurt. I love music for this reason. I’m a very happy person these days and sad Midwest emo music helps me to feel a part of the spectrum of human emotion I don’t access frequently in life.
It's from the show Sunday Night Salad! I understand people calling it weird because it's fucking strange but I love it hah; if you like Modern Baseball check out Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra, them and their friends are part of a label/collective thing called Making New Enemies and they make the show and loads of cool music and other stuff
i randomly found this song last night. i already spent all night listening to their live recordings. what a band. the singer is so captivating and full of emotion. The lyrics of this one, just damn. Many of us wish we could enjoy the memories of lost loves but we can't and that sucks. What a great band, I'm gonna enjoy listening to their whole discography.
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's 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. Oh, you were all I needed. Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away."
It sounds like in this version he says “teeth graze those spliffs” lol idk if he actually does but it sounds like he might have intentionally switched it up in this one
As someone who had a traumatic breakup and rebounded into what turned into an unfulfilling marriage with kids, “Instead, I wrote this song about you Thought, 'Would you show your kids if you found the time was right?'” stings every time. I really have loved him forever…
They like stuff occasionally on twitter, and Bren goes by they/them pronouns now, Jake mentioned it on a podcast not too long ago. Their last Instagram posts from like 2 years ago mentioned being in an out of the hospital a lot and I think their life is just too busy and filled rn for social media. I hope Bren comes back soon tho cause they’re easily my favorite musical artist of all time
As someone who loves hardcore and punk. I love MoBo, they are a constant reminder that punk/hardcore isn’t a sound. It’s an energy. They have that punk feel to me. They recorded in random kitchens and played other people’s stupid songs they just liked. and they built everything they ever made themselves just cuz they wanted to.
Nah dude. Punk and hardcore are definitely sounds. This aint it. This is whatever genre that sounds like synchronized menstrual cycles amongst men from the Midwest who can’t get/keep girlfriends.
@@Σατανας666 dude what’s your issue, man was sharing an opinion on the DIY attitude of the band and you proceeded to insult the band for no reason other than “Haha virgin nerds are just girls!” Get outta high school and grow the fuck up.
I learned this song on the guitar to surprise my guitar/singer friend. I went to his house, tuned his electric, gave him the lyrics and told him to try to sing along. That was such a killer night in my life, and this song caused it. We jammed out so hard so unexpectedly but I for once felt alright being in someone's world like that for a second.
Mobo is the band that truely saved my life and will always have such a special place in my heart. Whenever im really depressed i come to these acoustic vids for comfort. And yes. I cry EVERYTIME i watch this one
I’m the same. When there’s no one around I come to videos like these. It’s something else. There’s a lot of these acoustic performances for you to discover out there. Though I hope for many less low nights. I can recommend you a few I go to when I’m feeling down, or just need a friend. Gregory and the hawk - oats we sow (acoustic) Frightened Rabbit - my backwards walk (acoustic) Frightened Rabbit ft Manchester Orchestra - architect (acoustic) Frightened Rabbit - good arms vs bad arms (acoustic) I’m alone often - so I’ve stumbled across a little too much of these performances. But I can’t complain. There’s magic out there and I hope you find more and more. There’s even live shows that you can watch from particular artists that give this feeling of intimacy and comfort. One I thoroughly enjoyed was Alex G: secret basement show. It’s about 28 mins and it’s all acoustic , and it’s all gonna make you feel. I hope you stumble across gold soon enough - music does wonders for us. I feel you. It’s hard for me too. ❤️
2021. Beer in my hand. Cigarette in my hand. Sitting in a driveway at night with the sounds of summer crickets. Hurt on my mind. And this music. Thanks.
After many years of listening to Mobo, I think this might be my favourite song. Something about it that just encapsulates the bands essence (or what I feel the band is).
You've helped so many people in ways you don't even know. I met you guys at the McDonald's across the street from the bottom lounge in Chicago. You guys all wanted Mc Ribs! That was one of the best nights of my life. I think about it every day. My friends do too, and we're all over the country now, but you guys keep us going when we're down. Brendan I hope you're doing better man. So many of us hurt and Im sorry you do too
My boyfriend showed me this song cause his favorite band is Modern Baseball, and I listen to them too. He played this acoustic version and I haven’t cried so hard to a song since last February. I’m sad they aren’t touring or making music anymore but this song? It has hit me harder than probably any other song.
its 2 am on a wednesday and its the first time i stumble upon this song. this has inspired such emotion in me; hope for what's to come, but at the same time, regrets and feelings for what have passed and won't come anymore. this is honestly incredible, I will definitely look this band up tomorrow
I love modern baseball so much. I didn’t get into them until about 2 years ago and there easily my favorite band rn. I already have a mobo tattoo. I’m 28. So far out of high school that I’m married with children and a full time job. For some reason this band resonates heavily with me. I will say this hands down modern baseball is the best emo band of all time.
26 years old, feeling lost as hell with everyone around me getting married, having kids, and I just became single after 2 years with a girl I thought I'd marry. Resonate hard with me too. Funny how they were able to hit so many different situations and walks of life. Absolute artists.
This is the most underrated MoBo song and that oven range is really nice. Overall great kitchen set up. Classic 2004 era blender to the left of bren. Food processor on top of the cabinets above Jake. I do wonder if that hood is an actual vent or just decorative.
I love the composition of this performance. Just like friends being there to support one another in hard times, the back-up vocals, guitar, and keyboard reinforce the lead performer while doing little more than quietly being present.
I've been listening to this version of The Thrash Particle for years and feeling the same heartbreaking feelings. I can always relate, how fucked up and how magical.
I just found out about this ep. I’ve been listening to it non stop and have been back to this video a couple times a day this past week. I wish I saw MoBo just one time

Sing about me to my friends, while you're just stuck inside your head, All alone Oh, you were all I needed Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away
I remember being in a garage band and my buddy showed me The Weekend by Mobo and we covered it my freshman year (2012) and that kick started my Modern Baseball addiction. They're my second favorite band only bested by the Beatles.
This is so beautiful. Just perfect, so much better than the EP version. I think this song has so much energy and passion and, just as much as I adore the EP version, this stripped back version is incredible. Thank you for everything, Modern Baseball. Whatever Forever
This is the fist song I decided to learn to sing and play on. It's extremely easy, and it has the utmost meaning to me over all MoBo songs. To me, this song represents the only person who has ever convinced me to have a child with her. I gave her my life, and as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she left me for ex boyfriend. She is now doing her absolute best to keep my son from me, and telling people its her current boyfriend(who is infertile as a rock, I might add.) so I'll have to take her to court, because I am NOT loosing my son. So yeah. I don't know THEIR meaning in the song, but I sure as fuck know what it means to me. Edit: This song goes hand in hand with the Revenge of the Nameless Ranger live acoustic from the same session. But always after. Always
CSk401 thank you for sharing, people can be shitty but ya can't let it get to you. Do you still have the chords lying around? I've been trying to learn this song but the tabs on UG don't sound *quite* right
CSk401 hey yeah that sounds really shitty. It might not apply but I think you might like “I hope I don’t come off intense” by wil Wagner of the smith street band (its only on UA-cam tho). Especially the song “it” might really resonate with you. Hope you got at least partial custody of the kid and you found someone who actually cares about you!
It's been 2 years ago, I wish you luck in whatever lies ahead, I hope you got to see your son, dont worry man, you dropped this, but it's time you got it back 👑
This is what every breakup song ever written wanted to sound like
soooo is the hook you wanted? is it stuck inside your head? can you sing it with your friends, or alone?
is one of the best chorus/bridge/whatever you want to call it in this type of song that ive ever heard

Yeah, been there so many times...
This guy remembers why he wrote the song every time he sings one
I think this is one of the best songs if not the best that they have ever recorded.
aMEN
The electric version is just brutal. When it hits at 1:00 it's just punishing. Probably the best mobo song imho
Agreed
this whole ep is my favorite release from them. absolutely astonishing.
I strongly agree,i think ppl here your graduation and don’t really listen to the other older songs
Fuck, Lukens, I hope you found peace man. You saved so many people from feeling alone in their emotions, captured such a powerful feeling of community among so many lost souls, and probably pulled some people back from the brink of giving up entirely.

I cry at the nostalgia I feel when listening to Modern Baseball.
how the hell y'all gonna give me nostalgia for something that never happened to me

Pain.
ik any acoustic song gives me massachusetts vibes i lived there for a year and i miss it so much it makes me miss it even more

Elle brave bird
it most certainly is..
2024 (almost 2025!) hoping you guys are well and coming back!
It’s 5am on a Thursday morning and I haven’t slept. I’m struggling again. I hope anyone who reads this finds peace and finds hope. Modern baseball has always been that hope for me. They’re tattooed on my left thigh and will forever be a reminder to think deeper than what is on the surface. To remember life is bigger than what’s on the surface.

Am I the only one wondering who was lucky enough to have MoBo sing in their kitchen?
Oaksoh
Thought the same!
Its from a really weird interview, I saw it a while a go but cant seem to find it now
It's from the show Sunday Night Salad! I understand people calling it weird because it's fucking strange but I love it hah; if you like Modern Baseball check out Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra, them and their friends are part of a label/collective thing called Making New Enemies and they make the show and loads of cool music and other stuff
Jack Higgins thank you!
@@cinemarxism This is so so spectacularly late, but Making New Enemies is excellent!
So much emotion in this song, Bren genuinely looks and sounds like he’s about to cry in this song. One of the best songs ever written.

“too drunk to be alone” fucks me up every single time
Sorry to be THAT guy, but it’s actually “too drunk to lie, too drugged to be alone”.
@ same premise 🤷♂️
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.

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 I 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, to drugged to be alone
You suggested I write a song about the first time we met
But I don't want to 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?
Said you loved me to my face, grin and gossip, walk away,
And then go:
'So, is this the hook you wanted?'
Sing about me to my friends, while you're just stuck inside your head,
All alone
Oh, you were all I needed
Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away
Ian with an X Files t-shirt in the piano. This is all i need in my life.
easily my favorite video on this website
Well done. Found this in 2024 and we’ll never forget 🫡
my favorite video I’ve ever watched
Still going back to watch and listen MOBO 😢♥️I miss them so bad
Still watching years later rip mobo
Ypu make me feel less lonely thank you modern baseball
I miss them. Please come back and tour at least once 🥺
7 years later, still obsessed with this song
I love the studio version but fuck man this one hits so much different
Oh yeah, this one is better imo. I am a sucker for acoustic versions though.
Doesn't matter where or when... It always hits.
You're not alone and I love you 💙
Man this song got me thew so much I really can't thank them enough. It's beautiful
Said I loved you to your face, but you just laughed and walked away
i am convinced that this is the most beautiful song in existence
I remember being in a garage band and my buddy showed me The Weekend by Mobo and we covered it my freshman year (2012) and that kick started my Modern Baseball addiction. They're my second favorite band only bested by the Beatles.
This is so beautiful. Just perfect, so much better than the EP version. I think this song has so much energy and passion and, just as much as I adore the EP version, this stripped back version is incredible. Thank you for everything, Modern Baseball. Whatever Forever
“BUT YOU LET GO OF ME, ONCE YOU SAW ALL YOUR FRIENDS” fuck me up, Brennnnnn
Mobo we need u more than ever
I miss this band and the way their music brought my friends and I together
this vid hits every one of them feels
this was one of the most important moments in human history
This is the fist song I decided to learn to sing and play on. It's extremely easy, and it has the utmost meaning to me over all MoBo songs.
To me, this song represents the only person who has ever convinced me to have a child with her. I gave her my life, and as soon as she found out she was pregnant, she left me for ex boyfriend. She is now doing her absolute best to keep my son from me, and telling people its her current boyfriend(who is infertile as a rock, I might add.) so I'll have to take her to court, because I am NOT loosing my son. So yeah. I don't know THEIR meaning in the song, but I sure as fuck know what it means to me.
Edit: This song goes hand in hand with the Revenge of the Nameless Ranger live acoustic from the same session. But always after. Always
CSk401 thank you for sharing, people can be shitty but ya can't let it get to you. Do you still have the chords lying around? I've been trying to learn this song but the tabs on UG don't sound *quite* right
CSk401 hey yeah that sounds really shitty. It might not apply but I think you might like “I hope I don’t come off intense” by wil Wagner of the smith street band (its only on UA-cam tho). Especially the song “it” might really resonate with you. Hope you got at least partial custody of the kid and you found someone who actually cares about you!
Fuck that bitch! You rock man
It's been 2 years ago, I wish you luck in whatever lies ahead, I hope you got to see your son, dont worry man, you dropped this, but it's time you got it back 👑
@@jamesmoralo1391 I was gonna say the same. I hope it going okay.
i hope that one day i can create something that will make you feel such intense emotions, this song is so beautiful ill never stop listening to it
I still miss these guys
They are so incredible live
yoooooooooooooooo
every once and a while we all come back here.
So glad I got to see them at least once before they split. Even if Bren wasn't there for the show I'm still super grateful and happy.
Damn Bren is so talented . Beautifully written and well sung.
Wish I could be their friend.
New year and I’m listening to this. Wish you all well
thank you Brendan.
You can tell this song is based off a true story, just look at the pain in his face
When I'm too druuuuuuunk to lie, too druuuuuuuuuuuuuugged to be alone
hello to everyone else who still watches this specific video way too fricken often lol. love u guys
Esta canción llega a los mas profundo de mi solitario corazón.
I’m still here missing you guys
Any rendition of a modern baseball song acoustic just sounds like an American football song
This song is amazing
Love how the guy on the synth stands there looking sad because he has nothing to do yet 😭
