Motion City Soundtrack’s new song “Timelines” may be one of their most personal songs, according to Justin Pierre.
Its refrain “It’s not a matter of time, it’s just a matter of timing” came from the frontman’s father, a concept he then filled in with some very intimate experiences, from growing up stuttering to discovering sex and flunking college classes. It’s a little dark at times, thematically, but thankfully there’s that soaring chorus and harmonies, upbeat keyboards, and a fast beat.
