| Modest Mouse – Ansel Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
This song is about the last time that Isaac Brock saw his brother Ansel before he died in an avalanche. It also seems to be about how life is uncertain and how it could end at any time. The uncertainty is both a good and a bad thing, as you both would and wouldn't want to know when your time will come. From an interview with Isacc Brock from USA Today (http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2015/03/17/modest-mouse-strangers-to-ourselves/24831695/): While Brock mulls over the big ideas, he also gets achingly personal on Ansel, which details a last trip he took with his brother, who died in an avalanche. "I kind of lost my mind, and I'd say it was pretty frustrating for the guy. I figured we'd be able to reconnect at some point and fix that," he says. "It's not a new reminder, a new concept, but you could trip and fall and die right now. It's just good to remember that." |
