Why does Float On by Modest Mouse make me cry?
do you exclusively listen to it while your boyfriend is buttslamming you or something?

Because you're a pleb

Ew no, just when I'm sucking his cock

because a fat heroin addict with a lisp is telling you to keep your head up, even though you're going through some emotionally challenging times right now. You feel like you needed someone to tell you it's okay

Because, as seemingly positive and bittersweet the song is, it isn't about assurance that things will be alright. It is about longing for things to be alright, even though things are shit and the struggle itself is futile.
Because being blessed with the capacity to contemplate this futility means having to construct a concept that eases our emotional turmoil, despite the odds: this thing called "hope" or "faith." Be it religious or not, these things allow us to temporarily ignore our reason which only sees the world as it really is.
Although the semblance of inner harmony and peace is fleeting, and in some cases a falsehood, it is worth pursuing because we need a reason to get out of bed in the morning. And try again.
