He’s the ethereal voice, songwriting powerhouse and full-contact keyboardist behind Something Corporate, the piano-rock quintet praised by one critic for its “combination of intelligent lyrics, infectious melodies and killer piano.” Now Andrew McMahon is taking something of a spring break from the band with which he’s practically lived for the last four years in order to offer up an angst-flavored side project. In the guise of Jack’s Mannequin comes Everything in Transit (release date: 8/23/05 on Maverick Records), a highly personal theme album by McMahon and collaborators. It’s clear that, like his longtime band, McMahon’s latest venture defies an easy pigeonhole. With Something Corporate on break, McMahon looked to bring the best of his songs together into a More...

I met my bf the end of this summer and fall fast and fell hard. However i was going to away to college in florida over 1612 miles away, and there wasnt much i could do about that. Neither knew what would happen when I left for school but for some reason we couldnt stop talking to each other and skyping every night. Finally he came down to visit and it was the best 4 days ive felt in my life. We've visited each other a few times since, and every time gets harder and harder for me. Standing at the terminal saying goodbye is the hardest thing i ever go through. For a few days im happy again, and than abruptly and so suddenly that all gets ripped away. We stood like statues at the gate Vacation's come and gone too late There's so much sun where I'm from I had to give it away, had to give you away this part gets me every time. Hours pass, and she still counts the minutes That I am not there, I swear I didn't mean For it to feel like this when I leave him or he leaves me i break down every time and uncontrollably cry, i miss him so much. This song is beautiful and I love how so many people can connect in so many different ways thanks | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin hahaha these stories here inspired me to put mine down as well. you see, i loved this boy, which is a stretch for me. because i'm one of those losers who pretend they are too good for emotions and love and mushy shit like that. and as our relationship grew, i lost my virginity to this boy. and i just loved him more. as we explored our bodies and this new realm together, i grew so close to him. he would tell me all the time about his fears of me leaving him. i would always say to him, "i will stay with you as long as you want me to," tow which he would reply, "i want you around forever." i would ask him if he was sure, but i knew he wasn't despite what he would say. almost six months into our relationship, he decided we should go on break for a week or two. just so he could sort himself out. he was confused, he said to me. he didn't know what was wrong with him. i woke up at midnight to his phone call on the sixth day into our break, saying it was over, yet reassured me that he needed me in his life, as a friend. i really didn't want to be "just friends," with him, as that would make things harder to get over, but i couldn't say no to him. however the next day, he randomly dropped all contact with me. wouldn't answer my phone call, blocked me on aim, deleted me from his myspace. the last thing i asked him was why he was doing this, and he just told me he didn't want anything to do with me. after a terrible six weeks with absolutely no contact of any kind (he lives 10 miles in the next town), he decided to text me. we casually spoke to each other once in a while for a week, and then we met up to "hang out." and you can guess where that led. he told me that he really did miss me. i told him i didn't believe that. he told me that he still loves me. i told him that i still loved him too. he only told me once, but i know he meant it, and i'm not going to ask him to repeat it, only hope that perhaps he will on his own. and now here i am. still clinging to that one last "i love you." M___, I'm too pathetic to talk to you about this directly, so I'm going to tell you here. I still love you. When you called me and said, "I'm scared to lose you," and I cried and told you, "M___, you'll never lose me," I meant it. Two months after you left me heartbroken, I still love you, despite what you've done. I believe our story is proof of how time has nothing to do with love. I don't care what anybody says, I'm listening to my gut instincts now. And although we only dated for 5 months and 22 days, I have true and unconditional love for you. I always will. And if you're waiting for something, there's nothing to wait for. Please come back to me.

She recently broke up with me for the kid she said was a total douche even after she called me the best boyfriend shes ever had. Then she started txting me acting like her friend and we got in a little fight about how i need to get over her because she doesnt like me anymore. She told me to get a life that i wasnt normal and that i needed serious help and i felt like crap......thanks for the pain kasi sad | Reviewer: Mike ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin All of you decided that you had to write things that make you sad and i understand that sometimes we all feel the need to tell people how shitty life can be at times but the thing is this song is still amazing and it makes me happy because of the fact that i although i do have a lot of sad thoughts connected to it the song is still a really beautiful song. ... | Reviewer: mandy ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin i'm moving to arizona. leaving all of my friends behind. my parents said that my dad couldn't get anywhere in his job that he has now so they say that it would be better if he took the job there. i was listening to my ipod last night. this song came on and i started to cry. i didn't move yet, my friends act like i already have, they hardly talk to me anymore. it feels like every inch of me is bruised. knowing that at anytime untill i move, i can talk to them . i can call them up and say "hey let's hang out" or " let's go to the golf course and mess the golfers up". it's like i don't exsist. yeah all of you that posted on this page say things about their girlfriend/boyfriend and how you can't see them. imagine them not talking to you while you CAN see them. while you're still with them . i'm still here guys. i'm still here. PERFECT FIT.. | Reviewer: Serena ------ About the song Rescued performed by Jack's Mannequin for me this song is trully heartbreaking. Ive been listening to it for the past 3 years and never did i ever get sick of it. People base their opinions on the meaning of this song by the way they're lives are unfolding. If you're inlove this song makes you happy, when you're heartbroken it makes you sadder. I've listened to this song when i was inlove and heart-broken... yet both times ive felt that this song describes the pain of having to end a relationship.. a relationship where you are sure you love the person, yet know deep in your heart that it will never work out. Love is not always enough to make a relationship work out. This song portrays that honesty. That love doesnt always lead to a happy ending. As sad as it is... i have to agree with them. nostalgia | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin I recently broke up with my g/f and although I wanted it at the time, this song makes me wonder if it was the right thing to do. It makes me remember all the good/bad/sad times and makes me miss them. We all have to move on i guess...its just hard. x First Listened to this song on the Airplane | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Bruised performed by Jack's Mannequin For the guy/girl who said beat this!! My relation to the Song, I met my Girlfriend/fiance when I was 5 living in Edmonton, and definatley had a crush on her. She moved away after a year to Kitchener Ontario. We wrote for a few years. Back in Edmonton in the day we had a mock Wedding. at 37 we somehow found our way Back to each other. I live in Calgary Alberta her in Waterloo Ontario. 32 years after not seeing each other we are Madly in Love with each other. I Listened to this song on my Ipod on a flight home from Visiting her for a week last year, Already feeling Anxious, This Song struck more anxiety and Panic . I was hospitalized for a week to bring the adrenal rush down. Although we still make it out to see each other every couple months (more so in the Summer) This song always Haunts me when I leave.. Review | Reviewer: Jeremy ------ About the song La La Lie performed by Jack's Mannequin I can put a personal meaning on this song. I just got out of a bad relationship, but I still love my ex more than anything. In this song it is clear that this relationship is over (in the essence that he has stopped writing her songs and books), but he knows that he cannot hide/contain his love for her. Even though he looks to his friends (the spaceman) to help him, he knows that he cannot contain his love, and ultimately will go back to his girl. At least that is my interpretation :) "have you ever been alone in a crowded room" | Reviewer: m ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin So Andrew has said once that this was kind of like the sequel to Something Corporate's "She Paints Me Blue." He was renting out this tiny room and all that was there to keep it lit at night was this crappy blue lightbulb. He shared some memories with his girlfriend and now wife there. My interpretation it is that when you're with someone that you love, you can be with tons of people and only notice him, and how it can engulf everything in your life. kool as poop!!!! :) | Reviewer: destiny kendall ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin this is an awesome awesome awseome song!!!!!! i luv it... omg... i cant even tell you how much it describes my life... this song is kool... whoa... i just jizzed in my pants alittle... long story short... this song is as kool as poop!!!!! :) Loneliness | Reviewer: music ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin I think that its about someone who put under pressure all the time and all this pressure is causing the person to break down and hes saying what did you expect bc of what the pressure he is dealing with and the ambulence is a metaphor for someone to save him/her then he goes on to try to explain how he feels (always alone) even with a room full of people and even if those people are saying that they are there for him the water is a symbol for everything building up and how hes trying to keep from letting his issues get the best of him so he trys to swim and he cant think because of all the things building up and they want him to give up but he wont slow down Rawwrrrr. | Reviewer: Amanda ------ About artist/band Jack's Mannequin I love Jack's Mannequin. (= I just saw them and they were totally amazing. I honestly don't think that Andrew could write a song that I didn't like. And him playing the piano.. especially with his feet.. is such a site to see. I love how he can take pain, love, and pretty much any emotion and make it sound beautiful. He's so strong and inspirational. Everybody should listen to JM and SoCo. <3 meaning | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin Mess with fate and the World will be destroyed, in this case by a flood. Seems like the narrator is being called to his fate and someone else is telling him to defy fate for their sake because they need him. He says to slow down so he can enjoy the World while he's still here, and this other person can realize the World is something to enjoy when he's not around anymore. Then it looks like this other person has either successfully convinced him to defy fate, or that he has accepted his fate. In the fist instance, the world is being destroyed by a flood because of his defiance and fate is giving him reminders of what he is supposed to be doing. But he would rather swim and defy fate for this person and let the rest of the world drown. In the second instance, he accepts his fate and a flood swallows him and ushers him to the Heavens, apparently. This other person refuses to accept this and continues to fight for him. And when the flood cut off the last of his power, it was just him and this other person. How could you give up? If you've ever been alone, you'll know. Dark Blue is either something too powerful, or too beautiful to resist. Apocolyse | Reviewer: Jamie V W ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin I think a flood is taking over the world and these two lovers are just trying to enjoy their last moments on earth, and with each other ie. "slow down". "the planets in a row" indicates to me, a type of supernatural thing happening in the song. i dunno, the meaning for this song probably isn't as scientific as how i'm interpreting it, but ah well! :DD Yet again. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Rescued performed by Jack's Mannequin I think "Leks" is pretty much spot-on. I know, I know, it means different things and sends different messages for everyone, and that is perfectly fine. That's the beauty of music and lyrics- not everyone defines them the same way. But anyways, I personally don't think it's about his leukemia or death or Heaven. It's about the dysfunctional relationship of his past and how he really does still love and miss this girl, even though she might be out of his life, and although she might have had negative effect on his actions, his soul is changed for the better. It's a sad song, but it always helps me when I'm down. Yes! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Resolution performed by Jack's Mannequin I think the review before me was dead-on about his illness. It's not necessarily the story of his laukemia, but how he's healing emotionally and learning to move past it. It's an empowering song that gives strength to realize that you can't control everything. He's strong, and a very talented artist. All-Time Favorite | Reviewer: KaoriCreator ------ About the song Dark Blue performed by Jack's Mannequin This is my all-time favorite song. No matter what, I just never get tired of it. I wish Jack's Mannequin were a bit more known, too. It's a pity whenever I talk about them barely anyone knows who they are, not even this song.
