Motorcycle - As The Rush Comes

This is getting too depressing! I find Matt's music empowering too! The Bright End Of Nowhere, Suburbia's "there ain't nothing here at all another day a week the mall", Double Life's "this is all there is, roll the dice", Going All The Way "if there's nothing left to die for, and all this beauty if just decay" etc are all things I can personally relate to and take power from. Most people would find those lyrics depressing, like we aren't living for something greater, but I find it empowering. "Finding beauty in the dissonance" (that's Tool, not MG). Speaking of which... does anyone listen to Tool? I ask this because on their new album they have a song called "Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)". Now, for those of you who are unfamiliar with who Hoffman is, he's the person who discovered LSD (acid). Finding car keys when you're tripping can be quite hard, it's a typical situation. Anyway, I'm sure you're all familiar with Tripoli. "Must have lost my mind when I lost the car keys on my way out". The name of the song is Tripoli. Anyway, this might have been covered before and I may well look like quite the fool now, but am I right? And if so, does that mean Matt's a tripper?

counting crows - children in bloom (part of my "moving" playlist ;).... well, i dont actually have a "moving" playlist, but that's not a bad idea :angry:)

pearl jam - indifference

i dont particularly mind britney spears, though i havent heard that song in like 8 years. all i can say is kudos to her, she's probably living off royalties in some big mansion at the moment. i dont hate a single song ive ever heard, and i dont care if people are gonna call me a teeny bopper for openly admitting to not minding her. i cant say im a fan of the typical britney spears fan however. anyway, that didn't really explain what i think about the song so much as her, but that was the best i could do. seal - kiss by a rose

misty mountain hop - led zeppelin

echo & the bunnymen - paint it black [live]

thanks very much ;)

what's All Together from... i dont have it, ive never even heard it ;)

Have I Told You Lately? by Van Morrison

You Am I - Heavy Heart

I've had a couple too. Back when I was in highschool and a complete wreck, I was in the car with my mum, driving back from a psych's appointment. Running For Home came on, and my mum broke down in tears. I asked her what was wrong and she just smiled and said "I'm ok, it just seems like a sad song". I know it was the song's feel that triggered her tears, but it definately wasnt the cause of them. She smiled through her tears, completely selflessly. Easily one of the most powerful moments in my life, and just goes to show the power of MG's music. Another time I was at a friend's house, out in the country side. Everyone had gone to sleep except me (a usual occurence), so I grabbed my iPod, went outside, and sat underneath a tree, looking up at the country sky (which I don't get to enjoy often in city). It was freezing and uncomfortable, but I didn't care. It was about 3 or 4am, and stars filled the sky. I put on The Rat Who Would Be King. Game over ;). I broke down in tears. Again, another powerful moment. Just last New Year's Eve I went to a gathering near the city to watch the fireworks. Alot happened that night, but in short, I was having pills, and I snorted one (45mins after popping) to help it kick in. Now this group was quite the innocent bunch of private school kids, and when they saw me snorting they thought I was a junkie (even my girlfriend). As a result, I got weird looks for most of the night, like I was somehow something to be pitied. Interesting story actually (if you don't count the way I tell it): I was sitting down with a good friend of mine, playing guitar. We weren't acting drunk or any different then we normally would, besides the occasional stretch and smile because of the drug. My girlfriend's friend came up to us and shook her head, and almost lost her balance as a result because she was so drunk. I don't know the right word for that, but it was funny in a lame kind of way. By the time it was almost sunrise, everyone was either asleep or too drunk to talk to (I dont have anything against people who drink, but these guys were just drunk to the point of being stupid). As the sun rose, I sat by myself, looking out over the water and suburbia, listening to Blue Skies Over Bad Lands. "Just understand understanding." It changed what would have been an awful start to the year to a feeling of complete tranquillity (though I'm sure the drugs might have helped slightly). So cudos Matt, you made my 2006! :angry: I'm sure there have been many other times, but nothing particularly worth explaining. I know The Fine Art Of Falling Apart been there many times. Generation X-Wing and Man Of Action are also quite personally compelling. Matt Good is just like that I guess, other bands will come and go from my music library, but MG is here to stay.
