Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture bradley Wanna Be	#1 by bradley goodman at Sep 28, 2007 at 2:45 PM EST
	this is probably one of my favorite motion city soundtrack songs. my favorite part is the "i'll swim backwards" part.

No Picture That One Guy Musical Genius	#2 by That One Guy at Sep 30, 2007 at 9:01 AM EST
	again with the coping with alcohol lyrics..is there history with justin having an alcohol problem or something am i the only one to notice all the references to drinking?

No Picture bethan Average	#3 by bethan jones at Oct 2, 2007 at 9:17 AM EST
	I think 'Matt makes his murderous demand, foeign films, i take a stand and it's all up hill from here - at least i hope so' is a reference to porn... the foreign films being porn films, and the 'uphill' part being too crude for me to spell out on here without someone reporting it as abuse =P

No Picture Sal Average	#4 by Sal With The Lights Out at Oct 2, 2007 at 8:06 PM EST
	this & everything is alright are my two favorites of theirs. this song makes me think of frustration when i hear it.

No Picture SLIPKNOT FUCING Rhythm Player	#5 by SLIPKNOT FUCING RULES!!!! v at Oct 3, 2007 at 4:01 AM EST
	mSC FUCKING ROCKS MY SOCKS OFF

No Picture jimmy Lead Player	#6 by jimmy matthews at Oct 3, 2007 at 8:30 AM EST
	Frank fails to see the humor in my sad attempts at breakdancing in every bar along Lyndale Avenue favorite line, for sure. i think this song is a good compination of old Motion City Soundtrack and New. Same goofiness, New mature sound.

No Picture tom Average	#7 by tom jenkins at Oct 3, 2007 at 10:09 AM EST
	OH! wow I never noticed how it sounds like all downhill from here until now. it really does! And I like "I'll swim backwards" it's one of my favorite lines ever...

No Picture Obtuse Professional	#8 by Obtuse at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:48 PM EST
	does anyone know who kate and liz are?

No Picture dann Average	#9 by dann at Oct 6, 2007 at 8:40 AM EST
	its "I cannot let you inside MY CELL. for fear i'll sink the ship and drag us both down"

No Picture jamie Lead Player	#10 by jamie soad at Oct 6, 2007 at 6:36 PM EST
	You can download this song off www.epitaph.com and look under motion city soundtrack x) And this song is soo good =]

No Picture Brian Average	#11 by Brian Dempsey at Oct 7, 2007 at 8:23 PM EST
	a fun fact i just noticed when i was lookin to make sure "all downhill from here" and "all uphill from here" were indeed the same melody, which they are... but what i noticed was that the first them new found glory says all downhill from here was 46 into the song, and the first time MCS says all uphill from here was, you guessed it, 46 seconds into the song.. probably a coencidence but who knows.

No Picture phil Wanna Be	#12 by phil taylor at Oct 9, 2007 at 11:05 AM EST
	"Frank fails to see the humor in my sad attempts at breakdancing in every bar along Lyndale Avenue" LOVE IT. this song makes me happy.

No Picture Berenice Average	#13 by Berenice Issaris at Oct 11, 2007 at 4:31 AM EST
	and wow i keep thinking about all uphill from here cuz wow!!! it sdound like it too. except when new found glory did it, the melody went down, and when mcs did it, his melody went up!!!

No Picture Sam Average	#14 by Sam Ordway at Oct 11, 2007 at 10:09 AM EST
	Does anyone know where I can get/download this song?! I can't find it anywhere!

No Picture ScumFucBondage Average	#15 by ScumFucBondage bumsex at Oct 11, 2007 at 2:04 PM EST
	I've always felt the "and it's all uphill from here, at least I hope so" is a reference to New Found Glory's "All Downhill From Here" as he says it with the same melody and cadence as the song. Seems like they make lots of little references in their songs that not everyone is supposed to get.

No Picture niles Wanna Be	#16 by niles lewis at Oct 11, 2007 at 5:37 PM EST
	This song is so amazing. Motion City Soundtrack is amazing. period. dot. end of sentance. "You better open the door before I take a hammer to the walls around it..." That's just amazing.

No Picture dalton Average	#17 by dalton hoffman at Oct 12, 2007 at 1:05 AM EST
	I love this song. It always makes me think that maybe something horribly wrong has happened to you... and you want to drown in your sorrow alone... but your friends are determined to intervene. You both love and hate them for it.

No Picture Zach Wanna Be	#18 by Zach Honeycutt at Oct 12, 2007 at 8:46 PM EST
	I love all the Minneapolis references in this song, CC Club, Triple Rock, Lyndale Avenue...amazing.

No Picture Mike Average	#19 by Mike heidkamp at Oct 13, 2007 at 1:37 PM EST
	"Liz likes to liquor up my thoughts from the C.C. Club to the Triple rock" Both The C.C. club& The Triple Rock are both in Minneapolis, which is where Motion City Soundtrack is from.

No Picture Lamb Of God Wor Average	#20 by Lamb Of God Worshiper at Oct 15, 2007 at 4:15 AM EST
	try checking bearshare, its where i got the songs from

No Picture Tim Rhythm Player	#21 by Tim Hanson at Oct 17, 2007 at 9:24 PM EST
