New song from Jack's Mannequin's new record.
Second time he ever performed it. I would have recorded the first but I was too busy enjoying it :)
Also, he noticed my big camera, so check it out at about 0:57 (and other times) - it's like he's staring right into your soul ;)

Lyrics:

I write you from this grounded airplane

Wonder how you've been and where you are

A letter to the one who slipped away

A letter for the things that never start

Oh my imagination's running wild

Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met

Crazy
This fascination makes the sound
Like a twister in my mind

A restless dream we left behind

I never will forget

This restless dream

It's funny how the words we never say

Turn into the only thoughts we know

You're lost and just so very far away

I cannot believe I let you go

Oh my imagination's running wild

Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met

Crazy
This fascination makes the sound
Like a twister in my mind

The restless dream we left behind

I never will forget

My restless dream

And so I call to you from the darkness of my room

But you will never be a memory

No, you're restless dream

My restless dream

So I write to this address that I don't know

You said you had to leave and we lost track

So if you hear this on the radio

I've said it now and there's no turning back

Oh my imagination's running wild

Guess I've missed you from the day that we first met

Crazy
This fascination makes the sound
Like a twister in my mind

A restless dream we left behind

I never will forget

This restless dream

My restless dream

This is fucking amazing. Thank you for posting this video!

[eppythechipmunk]

@itsnow33 my pleasure :)

[Mybestyearmusic]

i really hope half of the new songs are more upbeat on the new album

[eppythechipmunk]

@Mybestyearmusic really? it's nice to have a few quiet pretty ones. i actually prefer them :)

[Mybestyearmusic]

@eppythechipmunk It just sounds too much like the glass passenger, not enough like EIT.. I want songs about california and getting away..

[eppythechipmunk]

@Mybestyearmusic fair enough. it took a lot of time for TGP to grow on me. i must admit i was fairly disappointed in most of the album until recently when Andrew played them all acoustic in Australia - totally changed my views. i guess i like the soft acoustic sound better. each to their own :)

Andrew McMahon is beyond genius.

[Sasukereturns]

One good thing about new songs: the loud fans don't know the words to mess it up and sing along.

[JMannequin10]

0:24 automatic start

[Noellenc]

This reminds me of Ryan Adams, "Oh My Sweet Carolina" at times, in a good way.

[wabushank2]

This reminds me of Olive. i love it!!

[hjf11393]

@Mybestyearmusic well if you think about it, when he wrote Everything in Transit, he had just finished touring with Something Corporate, so a lot of the songs were about that. Then the Glass Passenger was mainly about his struggle with Leukemia, and this album he said is a lot about how his friends are all getting married and moving in together and stuff. So this is a lot of songs about love, but not in the same way love songs are typically written.
