Modest Mouse Backing Tracks

Modest Mouse Backing Tracks : Coyotes

Modest Mouse is an American rock band formed in 1992 in Issaquah, Washington. The founding members are lead singer/guitarist Isaac Brock, drummer Jeremiah Green, and bassist Eric Judy.

Since their 1996 debut album,  the band’s lineup has mostly centred on Brock and Green with multiple changes of other members.

The group released its debut album, This Is a Long Drive for Someone With Nothing to Think About, in 1996 on an independent label.. This was followed in 1997 with The Lonesome Crowded West which earned the attention of major labels, and the band signed with Sony/Epic, releasing The Moon & Antarctica in 2000. 

The core membership remained generally consistent, although Green briefly left the band in 2003 and 2004. Over time the group brought in additional musicians, including former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr for several years.

Coyotes

Lyrics

Coyotes tiptoe in the snow after dark
At home with the ghosts in the national parks
Mankind’s behavin’ like some serial killers
Giant ol’ monsters afraid of the sharks

And we’re in love with all of it
And we say, what can we say?

Walking with ghosts in the national parks
Coyotes tiptoe in the snow after dark

And we’re in love with all of it
And we say, what can we say?

Another branch on the tinder-bound tree
Birds flying low, looking downwards to feed
Mankind’s behavin’ like some serial killers
Giant ol’ monsters afraid of the sharks

And we’re in love with all of it
And we say, what can we say? …
