The Next Single

[AnOceanPearl]

Girl Wedged Under The Front Of the Firebird for sure should be his next single

I am really hoping this is not a serious post.

Why not I didn't think Matt cared about airplay anyway.

Why not I didn't think Matt cared about airplay anyway.

As has already been discussed... it's not really Matt's decision.

[soundless_space]

Right, exactly.

[AnOceanPearl]

For me, The Devil's In Your Details is the next logical choice. As much as I really really dislike that song, it's very radio friendly.

[Some Random]

i like that song for the same reason i like song for the girl. it's not as heavy as the rest of the album. it's kind of a breather.

[Gomo]

It's fun. I listen to it all the time. I shall listen to it right now.

[anitanium]

am i the only one who would like The Boy Come Home as a single?

[Jarrod]

I've been hearing I'm A Window all the time on the local radio stations. I'm so happy about it. I was in the car and my mom was nattering on and then it popped on and I turned it up really loud... haha

[gwencrist]

What about Moon Over Marin?

Nobodys mentioned it yet but it would make a good winter-time single

[Gomo]

He added Metal Airplanes to the myspace last night. Could mean something or nothing.

[jnak00]

The Boy Come Home and Moon Over Marin would both make great singles, IMO.

 

I'm A Window is one of my least favourite songs on Hospital Music.

[haircut-rabbit]

I think promo for Hospital Music is done. I hope I'm wrong.

[Peter]

You're probably right. Unfortunately.

[WhatamNot]

I'm sure they'll still spin some stuff saturday evening on the adult alternative station. Why else would he put metal airplanes up, it was one of the songs he played promoing hospital music before its release.

[franky132]

moon over marin, matts cover was great..

[Sansimeon]

i think 99% of us is failure should definitly be the next single

[MissEmily]

Odette would be a cool crossover single.

 

I wouldn't mind seeing She's In It For The Money as a single for shits and giggles.

[ziget]

I'm A Window is very radio friendly ... and perhaps the video for it would have been made by fans ... who knows ...

[darrenbacker]

Last time I saw Matt he mentioned about 5 times how much he loved I'm A Window. I think it will be that.

 

Moon Over Marin is an excellent choice too.

 

Odette is the only song I don't care for.

[Peter]

^ I'm a Window has been out as a single for a few months now LOLz!

[Crusader]

darren, read posts before you reply to them.

[geoffmk]

I absolutely think She's In It For the Money would be a great single.

[james_bain]

I think Champions of Nothing. That track is epic.

[Shawn]

Assuming "I'm a Window" isn't the last single, "Metal Airplanes" would be a good third single. It's an accessible track that's mellower than the previous two singles and could play up the diversity of the album and add some crossover appeal.

 

If there was active radio/TV promotion in the US, I doubt neither "She's In It For The Money" or (a heavily edited) "Champions of Nothing" would be very successful. I highly doubt most radio programmers would play either song on the basis of the relative inaccessibility and length of "Champions..." or lyrics for "She's In It..." (eg "I'm in love with your pills/A little red and a little blue").
