Motion City Soundtrack - Everything Is Alright - Drum Cover

This song is probably the property of Motion City Soundtrack and Epitaph Records. No copyright infringement intended.

This is my cover of Everything Is Alright by Motion City Soundtrack. I've loved this song since before I started to play drums, and just recently started fooling around with it on the kit. I apologize for sloppiness, and my bad mix of this song. I mixed the bass drum way too low, and the hi-hat way too high. Hopefully it isn't as obnoxious to you guys as it is to me. Constructive criticism is always welcome. I'd like to make more drum covers, guitar covers, and maybe bass and keyboard covers on this channel in the future, so if you like what you see, feel free to subscribe.

For the few subscribers I have who wondered why it took so long for me to get another video up, my bottom snare head completely gave out a few days after my Weezer video. Yesterday I got new heads, and have been trying to get the sound I want out of my snare ever since.

I don't expect to get even a fraction of the views I got for the Weezer video here, since this isn't a new song and I'm not the only one to have it on YouTube. I did this one just for fun. :)

This song is from their 2005 album Commit This to Memory, which is a solid album. So run out and get it if you like the song.

LYRICS:
Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

Give me a reason to end this discussion,
To break with tradition.
To fold and divide.

Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line..
I'm through with these pills that make me sit still.
"Are you feeling fine?"
Yes, I feel just fine.

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires
Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling..
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!

I used to rely on self-medication,
I guess I still do that from time to time.
But I'm getting better at fighting the future,
"Someday you'll be fine.."
Yes, I'll be just fine.

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

Give me a reason (I don't believe a word)
To end this discussion (of anything I've heard)
To break with tradition (they tell me that it's not so hard)
To fold and divide (it's not so hard)
So let's not get carried (away with everything)
Away with the process (from here to in-between)
of elimination (the long goodbye)
I don't want to waste your time.

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

(Alright)
Tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright. (Everything's fine)
Oh please tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright.
(Everything's fine) x4
