What really gets me is that everything after "I found a letter that said" is supposed to be someone else addressing the singer/listener, not from the singer/listener themselves.
Like seeing a very good friend you havent seen since a long time ago on a day that feels where your not wanted anywhere or when you feel your presence annoys people
i know not many people may have the same question as i used to, but this place was filmed in california, mammoth mountain and if you're reading this, you got good taste, you gotta try the weakends or even if it kills me. ♥
"You're the echoes of my everything, You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night. You're the laziness of afternoon, You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom. You're the leaky sink of sentiment, You're the failed attempts I never could forget. You're the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love.. How will I break the news to you?" ... One word... GENIUS!!! I ♥MCS lol :D
This song is a masterpiece. This is great music. It's out of time. Everytime I listen to it, I have goosebumps everywhere on my skin. This is by far the best MCS song (but Last Night is my favorite). I'm so glad to had the chance to see them play this song one last time. I will never forget that. Ever. Thank you guys for everything.
it's interesting how compelling it is to tell the stories we relate to music as if a sense of solace is born not from the art, but the catharsis of sharing our collective pain to a world we expect will never see. it's been over 10 years. from blooming high school chemestry to the failure of proposals and all the love and lust in the between. sharing beds, swapping saliva and stories, finding connections, losing touch and money and home. i still cry.
I remember breaking up with my girlfriend in high school and just sitting behind some gas station somewhere for like 5 hours and listening to this in the freezing gray weather. I know it's not what the songs about but after not hearing this for like 5 years, the murk shifts and stirs and memories bubble to the surface, cant be helped.
“You’re the echoes of my everything. You’re the emptiness the whole world sings at night. You’re the laziness of afternoon. You’re the reason why I burst and why I bloom.” Every single time these are the lyrics that get me. ❤ If you feel this way, Don’t go.
Forget what that other guy said. I know exactly what you're talking about, I can relate as well. I used to think I connected with people, but lately I see that everything has been largely superficial in my life. That feeling of wishing you had someone to share your mental orchestra with is crippling, and I have it too. I know it's only a youtube comment and it might not mean much, but you're not alone in feeling this way.
This song is timeless and beautiful It's precious and I associate it with a time in my life with someone I loved very much It's beautiful, it can hurt But it's perfect the way it is
Just turned 32. 14 year old me cried and screamed into my pillow to this song when the girl I lost my virginity to dumped me. The song details this long, complicated relationship you have with maybe someone you have a kid with. I haven't talked to her in well over a decade. It's funny how at that age we imagine we'll always mean so much to each other. Maybe we do. Maybe she still thinks about me. But it won't ever be said in public. In reality there's no news to break to anyone. There never was. We just like to make much ado about nothing in our adolescent minds...
Silverstein- Smile in your sleep The Audition- You've made us conscious Hawthorne Heights- This is who we are Action Action - Druglike Bayside- Devotion and Desire June- Patrick Just some stuff i think you'll like.
Agreed. I just looked up the lyrics, and just, wow. I'm honestly blown away with how good they are. I've liked MCS for years, and specifically this song too, but I never dug into the lyrics. Freaking amazing, really.
a million moons ago my ex and I were passing love songs to each other and he passed me this song. I listened to it, expecting a song about the proclamation of love rather than that "i love you, however," that the song is. from then on it became an inside joke between us, and we would joke about how we hold each other down. looking back on it more than a year later, i probably was the one holding him down.
Motion City Soundtrack is one of those bands that I won't listen to for a while, because I just don't think about it. Then I hear them again, and wonder how I could have possibly NOT listened to them. They're so amazing.
Wow I’m back here in 2022!!! I remember when I was like middle school age and first saw their music video “tell me that you’re alright” a Claire’s type of store in the mall and was so fascinated with them hehe
It took me what feels like a million years to be able to listen to these guys again...my ex used to sing their songs to me. He took my v card and peaced out a week later, broke my heart. I've come so far since then. All wounds heal!
these guys are playing their farewell tour in Austin tonight and I'm missing it. thanks for all the great songs and beautiful memories guys, we will miss you but good luck in all your future endeavors!! You broke the news but we still love you! :,)
Seeing you guys live in Cincy the other night was so amazing. I cried so much. Your music has held some beautiful and some painful memories for me through the years. Hands down one of my top 5 favorite bands.
This song came out the year I hit my 3rd year of Uni and my highschool sweetheart was going to her first year of College. My heart breaks every time I hear it.. but I'm sucker for nostalgia. Yes to all the comments.
I can't believe this came out 17 years ago. When I hear that things are that old, I think of Hootie And the Blowfish or Spin Doctors. The music of my childhood/teenage years.
Huh. Did not expect this video to get remastered, knowing Epitaph. Hope they can remaster more music videos from a ton of other artists currently and formerly under their belt.
I want to just point out MCS's songs are about hidden meanings. This song seems to be about a girl telling him he's 'not good enough' and he's dumped. As in she loves him still, but he's just ruining her career. REALLY the hidden meaning is about how fragile his heart was, and how she crushed it so bad it kept loving her.
This was the song they played when I met my girl at the warped tours. I was playing right after motion city soundtrack. I saw her in the crowd crying and told her to join me on stage. The fact that you said you cried straight out like that reminded me of her.:'[
This fucking song kills. You're the echoes of my everything You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night You're the laziness of afternoon You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom You're the leaky sink of sentiment You're the failed attempts I never could forget You're all the metaphors I can't create To comprehend this curse that I call love….
Its 2018 and im 26 years old. It's been about a decade since I've listened to this song. I stumbled back upon this as I'm going through a dark period. It hurts and I understand the words now more than I ever did before
These guys are great... I don't understand why they can't be on the radio instead of the crap that I hear half the time? Why don't these guys get the recognition they deserve? Just boggles my mind...
Been listening to this song for a decade plus, and am just now realizing the whole song is a letter to Justin Pierre, and about his failures in a relationship. Amazing songwriting from an amazing band.
I think the beauty of this song is that you can make your own meaning, sure when Justin wrote it he had his own experiences in mind, but it's so versatile that you can take it and apply it to your own life.
i havent heard this song in like a year and the other day i was randomly thinking about it, so i looked it up and its even better than i remember. great song, great band
I heard this song for the first time today....it tore my heart out. Beautiful, bittersweet. I broke up with the woman that I thought I was going to spend the rest of my life with exactly one month ago today, and still feel like I'm dying inside. This hit home...HARD
Spent a late night in a warehouse by myself trying to get everything ready for Monday which is not my thing. Started humming, then singing then realizing how much I missed this song and this band. They got me through my shit. I'll never forget them.
The video sorta reminds me of the cures pictures of you video. Brings me back to the beginning of my high school days Great band and yes very underated goodbye MCs youl be missed.
Back when I was in high school I had a tiny tv with a vcr built in. I’d do nothing but watch fuse/mtv/etc and record all these indie/emo music videos on vhs. I had like 12 tapes but I have no idea where they are today

i cant believe its 16 years old...god we got old ha
Back when this and other good bands used to be the mainstream... What happened..... 😑
We did 😂
we did and now music sucks my dad was right there music was the greatest as well as our indie rock nothing is like
"You're the metaphors I can't create to comprehend this curse that I call love."
Ugh.. kills me every time.
Me 2 man...i was jus tellin someone the same thing
five years later this line is still my favourite
"You're the failed attempts I never could forget" that line leading right into the part you posted- THAT always gets me.
Lmoa everyone watch it after March 22, 2022 pizza gate edited the video lmao hella babies not the original video
his metaphor game is amazing too! just makes the line better!
What really gets me is that everything after "I found a letter that said" is supposed to be someone else addressing the singer/listener, not from the singer/listener themselves.
When you realize he's reading the letter it becomes even more heartbreaking
Funny how you forget about a song for 11 years but still know all the words....also I'm literally crying right now.
K K omg same 😭
Wow your on point
lmfao I thought the same thing like "How do I remember all of these words?" Motion City was special
It scares me how many songs I have forgotten about like this one that I used to love.
Like seeing a very good friend you havent seen since a long time ago on a day that feels where your not wanted anywhere or when you feel your presence annoys people
This song literally brings me to tears every time I hear it alone
"I love you...however" kills me every time
Some of the most well written lyrics ever
Still holds up to this day!!
the first is LGFUAD
Justin is one hell of a writer
Forever
i know not many people may have the same question as i used to, but this place was filmed in california, mammoth mountain
and if you're reading this, you got good taste, you gotta try the weakends or even if it kills me. ♥
I’m here as an adult to thank this band for getting me through my troubled teen years 😇
God, same.
Why is this so old....god where did the time go.
I'm younger than this RUclips video and the kids that are in it. I'm getting some real vicarious nostalgia from this.
A 17 year old song and it feels like it hasn't aged a day...how time goes by... I'll always love MCS 🤘
100% agree!
agree
Damn straight
Dude, so true
Its older than that
Tony’s drumming is always so tasteful.
Its cool how they managed to get their hands on a 1440p camera to film this on back in 2006!
High resolution TV and movie cameras have existed for a long time
@@benfennell6842 I knew that but most people didn't even have 720p screens back in 2006 to watch this on, muchtheless 1080 or 1440 lol

At 37 breaking up with the punk girl from my youth still rings true. We're both old, married, and happy. But this song still rips.
Lyrics
I found a letter that said, "I'm sorry that"
"You were asleep when I wrote these words down"
"You'd think I'd ought to be used to that by now"
Stay for a few of those late night episodes
Missed opportunities, and "I don't care's"
There's not a lot that I feel obliged to share
Or talk about
I'll have my brother stop by this Saturday to
Pick up my things, just make sure you're not there
This may sound bad, and don't take it the wrong way
I love you, however
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?
Cancel our dinner with Max and Coraline
Feed Jacky's gerbil and try to stay clean
We'll talk it over after I've had some time
Alone to sort it out
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You hold me down
You're the echoes of my everything
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night
You're the laziness of afternoon
You're the reason why I burst and why I bloom
You're the leaky sink of sentiment
You're the failed attempts I never could forget
You're the metaphors I can't create
To comprehend this curse that I call love
How will I break the news to you?
How will I break the news to you?

This is the most real comment I have ever read.
Of course the most eloquent and beautifully written comment is by a person with a Twin Peaks pfp

This band transcended the emo genre. They were pioneers. They are still, to this day, my favorite band on the planet.
what in the world…

17 years ago.. that's so crazy to me..

is there a way to make it stop ?
Your music helped me when I was suicidal, thank you MCS
Still one of my top 5 albums ever. Perfect album all the way through.
I don't think I can every forget this song. Such real emotion. Takes me back
I found this song with my bf and he hadn't heard it in over 15 years. He cried. He was so happy.
Motion City Soundtrack is one of those bands that I won't listen to for a while, because I just don't think about it. Then I hear them again, and wonder how I could have possibly NOT listened to them. They're so amazing.

Why is this so HD, how am I supposed to feel old when the video looks like it just came out?
goddamn this song just crushed me ten years later. hindsight man..
This song came out the year I hit my 3rd year of Uni and my highschool sweetheart was going to her first year of College.
My heart breaks every time I hear it.. but I'm sucker for nostalgia.
Yes to all the comments.
"I love you, however.."
This song has been more relevant now than it ever was when i was 14.
Quite possibly the saddest song to hear when you've just been dumped, yet the lyrics and the vocals sound so sweet.
This is one of my favorite songs of all time.
Back years later to say I've only grown more fond of this song over the years 🖤
I can't believe this came out 17 years ago. When I hear that things are that old, I think of Hootie And the Blowfish or Spin Doctors. The music of my childhood/teenage years.
This band meant and still means so much to me
Minnesota's finest...... unappreciated and underrated nerd rock!
