@psychobillychef omg don't get me started. High school was so dumb. I like a shit ton of different music. Except country lol I used to get called a poser cause I wasn't just punk. Like why limit the music you listen to. Band shaming is ridiculous...
You just had to of been there. Peak American culture before the cultural shift turned the country into whatever it is now. It was like the end of the pre internet and pre diversity culture.
Got to see them play this at my college at the park 20 years ago - if memory serves, Andrew absolutely hammered on the piano much like the vid 😄 fck you, Jordan.
i remember giving something corporate a chance just because i thought it was kinda punk to name yourself that lol... my friends hated them and i got a lot of shit for listening to them (we were all into heavier skate punk stuff)... but every girlfriend i had loved them. ;)
I remember going to their concert and he lit his piano on fire I lost my keys in the crowd and randomly found them I attribute this all to Lord Andrew MacMahon
Lyrics for myself: I'm all alooone I woke up in New York City From my sleep behind the wheel Caught a train to Poughkeepsie And time stood still She wrote me a letter from San Diego To qualify her luck These flights connect through Arizona But I think I'll stay stuck So here I am Here I am Well, I woke up in a car I traced away the fog So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys I woke up in a car I woke up in a car I met a girl who kept tattoos for homes That she had loved If I were her, I'd paint my body 'Til all my skin was gone She wrote me a letter as we passed through Rockford She said she won't forget Maybe I do, maybe I don't But I know I haven't yet So here I am Here I am Well, I woke up in a car I traced a way to fall So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys I woke up in a car I woke up in a car And maybe I could live forever If that ever I had known That you'd be waiting there whenever I am all alone I'm all alooone But here I am Well, I woke up in a car I traced a way to fall So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys Well, I woke up in a car I traced a way to fall So I could see the Mississippi on her knees I've never been so lost I've never felt so much at home Please write my folks and throw away my keys I woke up in a car I woke up in a car I woke up in a car
You know what sucks? I’ve listened to these guys and all of Andrews music since something corporates first ep came out on drive thru in 01’. The OG recording of if u see Jordan was my first encounter with them and I was hooked. In all these years I’ve been listening to them, I’ve seen jacks mannequin too many times to count and I’ve seen Andrew McMahon in the wilderness twice. I’ve seen him play some of my favorite something corporate songs, including as you sleep, cavanaugh park, and Konstantine. But the one thing I never got to do was see something corporate live. And I keep missing any reunions they do. It sucks. Just once. That’s all I want.
Im turning 37 this month. Just stumbled on this song again. When i was 17 i use to only get to see my gf 1 day outta the week because we were both still in school and she lived an hoir away by my dads house. We would lay in her room at night and listen to this and we would spend hours listening to something corporate and dashboard confessional. Had to be home by a certain time so we would use every chance we got to spend time together. Do i miss the person, no. But remembering the love i felt at 17 and to hear this reminds me so much of my youth and what it was like being a teenager back then. 90s and early 2000s was the best years to be a teenager. Can never replicate that era!!!! Something Corporate even in 2024 i still love your music. Please for old times go on tour again. Not as jacks mannequin. I want SC back for 1 more tour!!!!
