Click to listen to Motion City Soundtrack's 'True Romance'

"True Romance," the first single from Motion City Soundtrack's fifth album, Go, starts off as a simple acoustic ditty but, within a few bars, the music shifts into the quintet's strong suit of perky, upbeat rock. "'True Romance' is a love song about two people who seemingly don't have much in common except their love for the time they share in the bedroom," says singer Justin Pierre. "In my experience, opposites do attract. And if you can get over the superficialities, you often find you have more in common than you initially thought. Perhaps you even find love."

Go will be in stores on June 12th, but you can preview "True Romance" here today.

“Youth Knows No Pain”

Lykke Li | 2011

“Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
