| Jack's Mannequin – Into the Airwaves Lyrics | 10 years ago |
| @[finallyfree:3654] It's almost a scary preminition, because Everything in Transit had been put together and almost ready for release when he got his diagnosis, so this was before that happened. In the Dear Jack doco he talks a lot about how he mentions doctors and sickness throughout Everything in Transit and what a strange coincidence it ended up being. | |

| @[ghsdisciple:3653] I'm not sure if he ever did a studio recording but it's in his doco Dear Jack if you want to hear it from that. Beautiful movie. | |

| @[popbaby1:3652] Nah, he wrote this after he had started performing under Jack's, but I don't think it was technically released as a Jack's Mannequin song. Just happened to be the band her was performing as at that time. | |

| @[socolove:3651] It's not a soco song, he wrote it at the time he had started work on Everything in Transit, after he was diagnosed, as a thank-you to his sister for her life-saving marrow transplant. I guess it would technically just be an Andrew Mcmahon song, but Jack's Mannequin was the name/band he was performing under at the time so that probably why it is classified that way. | |
| Motion City Soundtrack – Even If It Kills Me Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
This song DEFINITELY came out to me as a battle against depression or another sort of mental illness. The lyrics really come across as someone being so unmotivated and sad and stuck, some of the hardest parts of clinical depression. I've suffered for a really long time, but in the past year, I fell in love with someone who made me feel worth a lot more than I used to tell myself I was. He inspired and motivated me to get better, and work hard at making myself happy, and so now, this has almost become my theme song. I'm doing anything I can to make myself happier, everyday. Even just little things. That's not to say I still don't struggle at times. I still have my nights where I hole up in my room at night and cry, or avoid my friends because I literally find it a chore and a difficulty to get out of bed everyday, but on the whole, I am improving SO much. "I'll never get over it, but I'm gunna try." Even though clinical depression is something that will follow me through life, and maybe come back every once in a while, I'm going to do my damn best to be happy. I'm going to try. |
