"Dashboard" is a song by American indie rock band Modest Mouse and is the second track on their 2007 album We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank.
This song was #87 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.
This song was written the first day Modest Mouse began collaborating with Johnny Marr. The guitarist later recalled to Uncut magazine: "On the first night we (Marr and Isaac Brock)
just set up two amps opposite each other and just got louder and louder
and improvised. I just started playing 'Dashboard,' which I'd been
playing a few weeks before and forgotten about. And he instantly started
improvising the lyrics, which knocked me out. To see someone produce
those lyrics just off the top of his head is amazing: I've never seen it
done in such a way."
