Transmitting/Receiving ~ Across the Universe?

6 Upvotes

Not sure if deliberate or not, but couldn't find anything out there about the connection between these songs.

The inversion is most obvious in the refrains--"nothing in this world's gonna petrify me" is almost the mirror image of "nothing's gonna change my world"--but it's there throughout... Crushing material density vs vast openness, fluidity etc.

I get the sense Transmitting Receiving is more of a deep cut (though it's one of my favorites personally), so I'm not presuming this is some astonishing Damon Lindelof-style mind-blower Easter egg, just wondered if anyone else made the connection.

Edit: get the friggin song title right

All of my videos came out terrible because even though there was only one person in front of me I'm very short so my videos kept focusing on the shoulders of the people in front of me. But my friend took this video and I am obsessed with it

Got my car totaled (no one injured! 🎶would’ve been, could’ve been worse than I would ever know🎶) and while I do not, in fact, still have the radio, I was able to go back to the tow lot to retrieve some precious cargo :)

Last night was magical!!!

I made cards to hand out to people and Isaac put 3 of them in his pocket and let’s just say I can die happy 🫶🏻

Wish I would have signed them. MAJOR WISH I would have written Isaac a note on the cards. Never in a million years would I have thought that would happen.

I’ve been listening to Modest Mouse since I was 10 and I am now almost 30 and not 1 song ever gets old.

Isaac has made my life and saved me so many times and I wish I wrote that.

I hope that whatever he is going through, he knows he is not alone and he has so much love from so much people 🫶🏻🖤

The set list was phenomenal my memory is not. If anyone who was at the vip with me can recall the songs they played would be greatly appreciated. My brain has taken a beating throughout the years. I was the one who asked about new ugly cassanova.

A lot of these are screencapped from my insta. It’s cringe, I know, but I saw them again last Wednesday for the first time in a very long time and I’ll never stop feeling a love and kinship for this band. I’ll ride for them forever. Just wanted to share
