MCS

Today I'm going to write a little off-topic (because it's not related with the topic of this blog), but it's a case very important for me.
My favourite band ever forever is breaking up :<
What is worse, I haven't had an occasion to be on their's concert. They were in the Europe only once (in London). Unfortunately, it was when I was doing my matura exams :/ I seriously considered passing it the following year :P

Motion City Soundtrack is a band from Minnesota, formed in 1997. It's hard to establish what kind of music they play, because they mix genres. Generally they play indie rock, but it depends on the song. They play also music which is punk, rock, positive, fast, sad, melancholic, pessisistic, romantic...

In my opinion, the strongest part of their music is lyrics. Very often they base on wordplay i.e. "I fell in love without you" or "Get inside out". Also when they sing about love, it isn't in the ordinary way - of happy or unfortunate one, but rather they touch on this problem from different way, for example in the emotional verse "I spent two years alone with you".
Frankly speaking, it's hard to put it into words - love in theirs songs is so original. It reminds me a little lyrics of Polish band Happysad.

Now Motion City Soundtrack is in a farewell tour in the USA. It's what they wrote in the official website:

The most popular song of MSC is "Always Running Out of Time", because it was used in the movie "Alice in Wonderland" in 2010.

Some optimistic and crazy songs: ;)

You never get used to it -
You just have to live with it.

You better open the door before I take a hammer to the walls around it!

Someday you'll understand that everything is A-OK! :)

A very romantic one:

You're the echoes of my everything, 
You're the emptiness the whole world sings at night...

"Everyone Will Die". Short and positive, but at the same time an outspoken song. I find it very thought-provoking.

Every single smile and every single tear
Reminders of the moments we shared in the instant we were here
If everyone will die and everyone will lose
Then who you gonna love in the meantime before it catches you?
