Motion City Soundtrack - Even If It Kills Me (Live at AOL Interface Session)

[@samuelverzino9914]

This band is fucking CRIMINALLY underrated

[@willowtree2793]

So I'm only 20, my band teacher in highschool introduced me to MCS cause he thought it'd help me out (I was a troubled kid, always in rehab, had an ankle monitor hospital's, suspensions etc). I deadass cried so hard when I was able to see them live, they've helped me so much. Best part is I'm from MN :)

[@legends_of_the_void]

2023 and still doing whatever it takes!

[@sebastienleroux4872]

2019 and still here. MCS was, is, and will ways be in the top 3 of my favorite bands. I love this song so much.

[@keep7smiling]

I feel you bro

[@karmenh8844]

Yup. 1. Eyeshine 2. Motion City Soundtrack 3. The Rifles

[@marconileo]

Same here. I saw them live in 2009. I really need to see them live again

[@whoviantales]

This band has helped me get through so much over the past 10 years, it's not even funny.

[@brandonshaver9179]

That makes two of us

[@ranelrimas6523]

Awesome :)

[@seanyslamsbets8638]

Four of us

[@keep7smiling]

Make that 15 years

[@Jaymz87]

i will never forget when i heard I Am The Movie album for the first time back in 04, so many memories linked to those tracks.

[@Stumanji77]

"For the first time in a long time, I can I say that I wanna try. I feel helpless for the most part but I'm learning my eyes. And the sad truth of the matter is I'll never get over it, but I'm gonna try to get better and overcome each moment my own way." This little chunk of lyrics pop into my head whenever any moment is weighing down on me. I may never get over it, but I gotta try to get over those moments as they come along. Thanks for helping me out, guys.

[@therealslimsaiyan]

It's so nice to hear the moog so clearly and I love how well Justin sings in this one

[@ledbacking97]

crazy how unbelievable they are live

[@nonoyshokoy]

soundtrack of my life. "I so wan't to get back on track, and i'll do whatever it takes, even if it kills me." ok, bye.

[@lumia_dayZ]

hi

[@aaroneow]

This song gives me so much hope when I'm down. I honestly would have given up a long time ago without Motion City Soundtrack.

[@QuadraticNightmare]

I think this is the best he's sung that song live. He doesn't always hit his notes but he nailed it here.

[@JeremyGalloway]

I saw him live a few years ago and he absolutely hit every note.

[@bombaklava2802]

I've seen him twice this summer alone, definitely hit the damn notes

[@keep7smiling]

This is actually better than the album version lol

[@agreen182]

There’s auto tune in this performance lol. He’s great live. But AOL wants things “perfect”. I’m not a fan, I prefer the imperfections of reality.

[@Roboturnerlol]

@@agreen182 if they want it perfect, they should consider turning the damn drums up :P

[@kurtzeller6480]

Wow,.... how have I missed this group for as long as I have? They are brilliant.

[@2012cuteangel]

i think his voice is beautiful when he sings this song :)

[@stanmarsh22291]

This song is one of the most under appreciated songs by this band. I don't know many people who liked this CD, let alone listened to this song. Personal favorite.

[@muzedbymusic666]

I can’t believe this album came out in 2007. I remember being a teen, staring out the car window with my earphones in listening to the beautiful songs on this album and getting in my feelings. These lyrics still speak so true to me and I will always love this band so much ❤️

[@ozzgonzalez7165]

I always felt that this album in particular describes me a lot in so many ways. But these last lines of the song, and the album overall, just break me down every single time "I so want to get back on track and I'll do whatever it takes, even if it kills me." I've struggled with my life for the past 3 years straight and I just found out what Justin meant by getting back on track and do whatever it takes...even if it kills him.

[@gtyellojacket]

A powerful song full of celebration and energy. It's interesting that he was inspired to write this after watching "The Devil and Daniel Johnston," which is a great movie, but not at all what I think of when I hear this song.

[@xalk311x]

I love this band so much! Because of Justin Pierre I want a Left handed Tele Deluxe '72 I could watch them play all day every day. they are so good live!

[@gregclarkreasons]

Even though I was bumping MCS all along, I almost feel like I still missed out because I never felt the real impact of some of this music until this very moment. Thank you guys so much.

[@lucasshaffer3324]

worked a show on their last tour and justin is a pretty cool guy. Great show and so happy I got to see it.

[@FellDestroyedMusic]

Genius.

[@thatdudekyle5690]

This is one of the cleanest live performances I’ve ever seen & heard! Sounds just like the album!

[@lghjsdtugfkgfjgtru]

I remember Even If It Kills Me back in 2008. It's nice to listen to them again. What a voice omg

[@MM-vk7uz]

Powerful and profound. This is a very deep, emotional song, but I'd say beautifully positive and empowering. Love it!

[@RobertoReyesChHC]

Wow even with the tuning Justin’s voice sounds incredible. The mix overall is incredible. I’ve know about them for over a decade and this is the first song that has peaked my interest.

[@noctemaeternam8376]

Omg mcs has been and will forever be one of my top 5- they have got me thru SO MUCH PAIN

[@augustburnsorange1748]

my favorite song from them

[@LNClubsTheaters]

Great live footage from MCS! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheJerryattric]

sums up the last 4 months of my life. i thank this band so much for this song

[@TheRocketAnse]

@buddytyree "Hold Me Down" is a masterpiece :) and i think you're right, "Even If It Kills Me" is a wonderful album, both lyrically and musically...is like Justin can write what i've always wanted to say but never did, in a unique way.

[@LorensFrans]

always cant get enough of all MCS' freshest songs..they still have that certain 'something' that makes you listen to it over and over again..and of course, smart lines and funny way of telling a story thru a song..

[@frixpxpx]

every element in this song is very solid and supporting each other, that's why when i listen to this song (i don't know the lyric at that time) really gives me a "motivation message" to move on and face every problem :) i can say that this is the best song from motion city soundtrack, great job guys, i'm serious :')

[@TheLegoLover]

I forgot how much I loved this live version of the song.

[@sixouttaten8679]

didn’t miss a fucking note. chills in the last chorus.

[@CrumbBuster]

It's all about that last chorus

[@alddo.]

I love the way they finished that album, you know, saying "...even if it kills me". Really awesome!

[@markshwack1]

I fuckin love this song

[@michaelfranzeran6200]

OCTOBER 3! Sums up my life right now

[@prinzidrums]

The Best song on their best album...pure genius. The last line of the album is also it's name....They are simply too good.

[@gabriellalove7]

INCREDIBLE!!!!!

[@patrickmack7]

agree. also love hello helicopter and It had to be you on that one. Don't forget about the last song on the new EP, Pictures of Success- great song.

[@fpoon36]

Just saw them live on Saturday and they played the whole album prefectly. Awesome night.

[@babyjoearnold]

This is so properly and wonderfully fuckin’ played

[@valgorlin]

problaby the best live preformers i have ever seen

[@TheBooCrew64]

Take me back in time please!

[@hughschultz9089]

Can't. Stop. Listening.

[@spazzz75]

this song is so deep and has a strong meaning to it i respect this band so much i just can whet to see them in Nov ^.^

[@christophersmith8486]

life in a song

[@viniguitarrj]

PC on, cs.16, school, friends, living without problems... i miss this

[@SamuelAdrianM]

They are brilliant

[@unrl]

That synth riff.. So simple. So damn awesome.

[@sarahspohn3322]

damn, tony was a good drummer.

[@KunisakeRM]

gave me chills the day it came out getting to the end of the album :)

[@RedPillPotential17]

Commit this to memory is the best MCS album I am the Movie and Even If It kills Me are tied for second and My Dinosaur life is a close third.(doesn't mean it's terrible, It's just not better than the other three) MCS for life!

[@AnxiousSeeker]

Love this band ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@nintendiehard]

Outstanding performance. I'm going to be seeing them in October and if they're this good, it'll be a hell of a show. Can't wait already.

[@birddogjohnson]

Solid performance. Amazing song.

[@someguy2113]

wow that was an incredible performance. amazing band. amazing song.

[@obnu]

Just what I needed to hear

[@samlevi16]

Getting the titled and a picture tattooed on me for my 19th next month. This song makes me feel teary every time. Such a good band, and my favourite ever song

[@thesoftersideofsears]

chills through the whole thing.

[@katlynmcquesten1897]

Fav band!! Yes!!!!

[@harryplaysdrums]

love this performance.

[@UrineJimmyLittle]

beautiful

[@DavidCelisBits]

I love that song along with Last Night, the Conversation and Calling all cops on EIIKM best songs on that record, i love pretty much MCS has put out, Now Severance and Major Leagues... damn! i love this band!

[@LunchboxDrummer]

I don't see how anyone can hate on any MCS if they like any. It seems like such a foreign thought. I love this song, this album, and every other song and album they have. The whole band is just great. I guess I'm just a more blanketed fan.

[@hh4hooch]

That was epic! Chills at the end!

[@loufreak]

LAMBDA, LAMBDA, LAMBDA. Go Nerds!!

[@TheRocketAnse]

@rayMacy i couldn't agree more with you...i just can't understand how a MCS fan couldn't like the album "Even If It Kills Me". Btw this song's one of my fav ever, and i can totally relate to the lyrics as well...it's just perfect :) MCS rule my world!

[@ColorTheLifeline]

@buddytyree I totally agree with you. I don't understand all the hate on this album either. It's their most successful album, and there's clearly a reason for it! I can listen to this album day in and day out, and never get bored of it. Each track flows seamlessly into the next. "The Future Freaks Me Out" is the first MCS song I ever heard, but "Even If It Kills Me" is the album that made me a fan!

[@LegerityTheory]

@TheRocketAnse Even If It Kills Me is my favorite album [: I love every song on that record. This song is also one of my all time favorites!

[@XxMcRmOnStErxX]

My Favorite Song Is Resolution♥

[@OMFGandalf]

goosebumps

[@Brian12327]

This helped me get through rehab.

[@lilnaughty1]

@Brian12327 Congrats on that man. I read an interview or something somewhere that said this song was about him getting sober too.

[@theFez013]

@rockstarsenty i agree. this is my favorite album of theirs too

[@TheSemesterReview]

this record... is so amazing... Its the modern-day "Something To Write Home About" By the Get Up Kids :)

[@yourviolence]

essa banda me empolgaa \o/

[@KaLikeAWheel]

1 person stands alone.

[@joemaz]

Amazing. My favorite song from this record for sure.

[@scheidtmaster]

tony's shirt is from spinal tap!

[@kreasiunik4793]

Band keren nih, tapi jarang ada yg tau

[@Kaseythehusky]

@buddytyree Hold me down is indeed their best song. I don't think the word EPIC is epic enough to describe just how epic it actually is..

[@Astroman9569]

Yea :)

[@maurilioduarte27]

🤘

[@dudewuttheheck]

@TheRocketAnse hey i love this album too! I honestly don't know which is my favorite, but there are some amazing songs on the album. This and Broken Heart are unbelievabley good.

[@2012singularity2012]

@TheRocketAnse Even if it kills me is awesome!

[@alwaysforget911]

@TheRocketAnse couldnt agree more

[@scheidtmaster]

@Kharmaireth vintage fender p-bass

[@alwaysforget911]

does justin blend the ac30 and marshall stack? or is the ac30 only for clean?

[@2012singularity2012]

Swweeet!!!

[@klonzeppelin]

motion city soundtrack en mexico :D

[@AimlessMoto]

Why are they playing the album version over a live performance?

[@songoku8123]

for.the.first.time.in.a.long.time

[@yardensegal7667]

did the AOL sessions get taken down? I swear I used to watch the whole performance on iTunes

[@buddytyree]

This song, and the album it's the title track of, are both fucking amazing. I might get some hating here, but I like Even If It Kills me better than any of their other albums. Songs like this and "Last Night" are some of the better work Justin's done lyrically, falling inferior only to "Hold Me Down" IMO.

[@KeefeBieggar]

@stanmarsh22291 I most definatly agree. The album wasn't half bad, it was just waay too studio-ized. Dino life is more back to how they used to be.

[@shinigamixheartless]

i saw them perform last night XDD

[@scotteful]

the beard thumbs up if you have one :D

[@scheidtmaster]

@sk8rsammycx vintage fender p-bass
