@eggbeaters he was actually getting his stem cell transplant on the day the Everything In Transit album dropped. So, this album was written and recorded previous to his cancer battle.
I met him this summer too. Most moving moment of my life. While waiting, I didn't speak a word. The second I turned away from him I literally burst into tears and started shaking. My friend has "just keep your head above" from Swim tattooed to her wrist and he touched it. To anyone who truly loves Andrew, you understand how much that really meant to her. It was a great night.
I have to say that his musical maturity between this and something corporate is like comparing a 1 year old to a 95 yr old man. I think his brush with cancer and sensing his own mortality really brought into perspective his view on life and what inspires him.
@ruidarkage he didn't "modify" it per say, i think this was one of his first performances after his operation and chemo and whatnot, so he hadn't sang in a long time.
You hate spam, as do I. However, I would just like to mention that I have a bunch of originals/covers on my channel and would appreciate feedback, whether positive or negative. That's it, no more spam! =)
amazing andrew mcmahon is a genuis him howie day and adam lazzara are my fav song writers................ever there something so touchin 2 me in the lyrics tha writetha capture the mood of the song and the time so perfect
I'm 18 and i have been listening to this song nonstop for a whole day now and will probably continue to.
But, this version (in my honest opinion) takes away from it's structure. The song is designed to sound like a mixtape. And with acoustic renditions, you don't get the symphonic sounds, the hard rock distortion, or any of the jazz/blues feel. Nonetheless, an amazing acoustic version.
Just played last night at Creighton University, he has his entire falsetto range back and sounded better than the soundtrack. Best show/concert I've been too, he knows how to entertain.
he played at my school about a year ago and i felt the same way - absolute BEST show i"ve ever been to! He's such a committed, entertaining performer it was amazing
but he is having a difficult time singing those notes, and you can see it in his eyes at the end, now he can sing the notes becasue since the incident hes trained his voice back
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Love the song but not this version. He's singing it really weird.. Certainly his prerogative since he wrote it and all, I'm just not a big fan of this..
Well, you have to think of that fact that the day Into the Transit was released, he checked into the hospital with leukemia. That can really change the voice, you can lose your whole top range. That could be why his voice is really scratchy, if this is after his encounter with cancer. :)
I think my comment was actually about the back-up guy. I can't remember but of course I can't tell for sure because so many people gave me a thumbs down for simply stating my opinion. Way to be open to opinions guys, real great
@BirdsongVids Wrong. On the day EVERYTHING in Transit was released, he had been in the hospital for about 6 months with leukemia, The day it was released was when he got his bone marrow transplant from his sister Katie.
Can someone PLEASE post the guitar chords for this song??? The girl that I'm going to make my girlfriend showed me this song...and I HAVE to play this for her...then she'll be mine...oh yes...she will be mine...oh yes...lol
Yah ur rite JM is more popular,but in a way Something Corporate was when he shined the most in his music.But no matter what I like Jacks Mannequin as much as Something Corporate
i wish i had this version on my ipod. Andrew McMahon has to be one of the best live singers in this genre of music. thats what seperates him from the others. btw MAKE A NEW ALBUM ALREADY! im too addicted to his music! "In Transit With a Glass Passenger"
Andrew is such an incredible musician, writes incredible song, and has a great voice!!!!!! Awesome song too, catchy as hell! If ya like Jack's Mannequin, Fall Out Boy, New Found Glory, or All Time Low, we are JustListen! and you'll probably like us!! Check us out and comment/subscribe if you do!!
This performance and the VH1 holiday from real are stuck in my head and wont leave. The songs are so haunting and unique i dont think i want tthem to leave my mind
jacks mannequin and the band Annasay are two of the most incredible bands. I know Annasay is on itunes and youtube too. Check out the Annasay song "Winter Air" or "Headlines"
andrew mcmahon is freakin god. oh btw who is this katie you speak of. the album is dedicated to her so is it your wife? i wanna see you beat the crap out of a jonas brother not that would be epic
this is the greatest artist in the world. but strange as it seems he writes lyrics that not many people can relate to other that fans listening to this music while going through their own lives creating a speacial bond created over time and experiences that happed while the music was being listened to during their lives. heh thats my opinion and thats the way i fell in love with the music
Thats been my philosophy on his music ever since i started listening to something corporate in 7th grade, 10 grade now going on 11th, and ive also realized that not many people listen to jack's mannequin. but the few who do are freakin awsome people. so with that said im glad that everyone dosent listen to it because it makes the music that much more personal
Ditto
