    Default Solved: Looking for song - male singer, maybe synthesizer?

    I've had this song stuck in my mind for a while, and it's driving me nuts that I can't figure out which song it is. The part I remember is, I think, from the end of the song where the lyrics might go something like "don't worry, we all fall down/go on" (I'm not too certain that I remember them correctly). The lyrics in question are repeated several times. There's a keyboard or synthesizer or something playing the same notes over and over as the lyrics are repeated; there might be a guitar as well, though I'm not sure about that.

    I'm pretty sure it's from a band with a male singer, though it could be a male solo artist with some kind of choir. I'm not sure about the genre as, but perhaps some kind of alternative/indie song? I think it's a fairly recent, maybe a few years old.

    I'm not sure if it's any help, but I originally got the song stuck in my mind after hearing "Let's Dance To Joy Divison" by The Wombats; the end of that song is somewhat similar to the song I'm looking for.

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Sounds like "Float On" by Modest Mouse.

    I backed my car into a cop car, the other day
    Well he just drove off, sometimes life's ok
    I ran my mouth off a bit too much, oh what did I say
    Well you just laughed it off, it was all ok

    And we'll all float on, ok
    And we'll all float on, ok
    And we'll all float on, ok
    And we'll all float on any way, well

    A fake Jamaican took every last dime with a scam
    It was worth it just to learn some sleight-of-hand
    Bad news comes don't you worry even when it lands
    Good news will work its way to all them plans
    We both got fired on exactly the same day
    That we were gonna quit it anyways

    And we'll all float on, ok
    And we'll all float on, ok
    And we'll all float on, ok
    And we'll all float on, alright
    Already we'll all float on
    No, don't you worry, we'll all float on
    Alright, I'm ready, we'll all float on
    Alright, don't worry, we'll all float on

    Alright alright we'll all float on
    Alright already we'll all float on
    Alright don't worry even if things end up a bit too heavy
    We'll all float on...alright
    Already we'll all float on
    Alright already we'll all float on, ok
    Don't worry we'll all float on
    Even if things get heavy, we'll all float on

    Alright already we'll all float on
    (Alright)
    Don't you worry we'll all float on
    (Alright)
    All float on...
