Song #90: Motion City Soundtrack - Everything Is Alright
Very few pop songs are so infectious that they're stuck in your head subconscious but that's something i CAN attest to. I've actually had this song playing over and over again during a dream I had where I was saving the girl of my dreams from utter destruction. I don't even remember who she was, but heck
"everything is all right!"
Even during a serious bout of insomnia, I write this blog now in complete delusion but I'll try to make sense of it. You see, synth is friggin' amazing. Especially when in synthesis with fast power chords that almost drown out the vocals. But the recipe for any Motion City Soundtrack song is to have lyrics about depression or a relationship (during the good and bad times) and overload the senses with pop candy on the huge chorus. It's almost overwhelming but always satisfying. Even during a song like this about the vocalist's drug habits.
I wish I could sleep right now.
Expect a "Best Albums of 2008" blog shortly.
