Everything Is Alright
"Everything Is Alright" is a song by American rock band Motion City Soundtrack, released in 2005 as the lead single from the group's second studio album, ''Commit This to Memory'' (2005). The song concerns neurotic, obsessive problems and social anxiety, and was written by frontman Justin Pierre. The song also contains backing vocals from Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump.
The song is generally considered the band's signature song, and has been played at live performances since its inception. A music video for the single was released in 2006.
== Background==
Motion City Soundtrack frontman Justin Pierre penned the song as a summary of his OCD (Obsessive–compulsive disorder) tendencies. He intended to utilize his social anxiety and fears in the song's form, which he has since employed in numerous other compositions. "I don’t think the () "tongue-in-cheek" is correct, but it’s something where the verses are one thing and then the chorus is another, but it's sort of like giving yourself a pep talk," said Pierre.〔 The song's lyrics include hating such mundane things as "theme parks, flying, strangers, () waiting in line," things that Pierre genuinely disliked at the time of the song's writing.〔 Incorporating his deepest feelings into the song was inspired by advice given by a screenwriting professor during his tenure at the Minneapolis Community Technical College in the mid-1990s. He instructed the students, who were "trying to make ''Pulp Fiction II'' or ''Goodfellas II''," to simply write what they know; Pierre took the advice literally and began writing autobiographical screenplays that feature protagonists with asthma, unable to talk to women.〔
The song was one of the last written for ''Commit This to Memory'', when the band arrived in Los Angeles in the winter of 2004–05.〔 The song was recorded largely at Seedy Underbelly Studios, a suburban home converted into a studio in the city's Valley Village region. Pierre's most prominent memory of recording the song, told to ''Alternative Press'' writer Jason Pettigrew in 2013, was a moment in which he attempted to impress a friend.〔 He returned the studio at one in the morning with the friend, where the band was still recording. The members were in the process of crafting the song's intro, which features "far away sounding" drums and guitar, and half of the song's chorus. "I said, 'Let's just do it right now. Play it and I’ll sing it in the middle of the room with the mic in the back room picking me up,'" recalled Pierre.〔 "We did it in one take and I was really proud. I just know that I liked how "in-the-moment" that was and how scary it was. I knew that if I didn't nail it I would look like an idiot, but I came in real cocky. I think my friend was impressed a little bit."〔
