Wooden Soldiers Lyrics

Cover art for Wooden Soldiers lyrics by Modest Mouse

I don’t care, I always felt I had a special, weird, poetic, and beautifully strange connection with this mans music. He is my fav for a reason, not just because he writes great song after great song after great song but because it’s like he’s reflecting every long lost deep feeling and or pain I have. And Wooden Soldiers is definitely a take on modern culture and how selfish narcissistic and utterly stupid we collectively are but then it’s becomes this breathtaking ode to his children (who to be honest I don’t think he’s trying to hide or veil) and it just comes together with the mantra at the end and touches a part in my soul that is absolute lyrical poetry. It may help that I just had my first child at 41 yrs old and I relate to this song on such a deeper level even as simple as this mantra is, but sometimes the most simplest thing when it’s presented in such a brilliant poetic way is soul shaking. I love this band. I fkn love this band and his music just gets better and better.
