Favorite Matthew Good Song?

[Sensory Overload]

Obviously it's tough to pick just one, and this may change frequently, but what is your favorite song by Matthew Good?

 

There are about 10 songs that I feel are absolute masterpieces, but I'm going to go with "Empty's Theme Park". Gives me chills every time...

[AnOceanPearl]

Sort of a Protest Song, hands down, no questions, never changing.

[Manchalivin]

I've maintained Born to Kill for a while now. But it could change depending on what I feel like.

Such a hard one.

 

It's a toss up between "While We Were Hunting Rabbits", "Sort Of A Protest Song" or "The Boy Who Could Explode".

Deep Six. A perfect intro song.

[sodamntired]

born to kill

 

 

 

i know you can't "love" a song, but it is the 21st century and I love this one 8-)

[Crusader]

Gonna have to go with Sort of a Protest Song. Nice and simple with a great melody.

[Seanathon]

Since it's tattooed onto me, I'm going to have to go with Avalanche.

[Sensory Overload]

Avalanche is my 2nd favorite...

 

Love all of the other choices here too. Looks like "Sort of a Protest Song" and "Born To Kill" are getting the most support thus far. Both of those songs are also fantastic...

[Vance]

Advertising on Police Cars. But Running for Home and Strange Days are right there too. My wife's favorite (who's not on this site) is Sort of a Protest Song.

[Su Shi]

I often think of questions like this in this way: if it was all going to be lost, what one tune would you grab in the universal flood to save from the debris and hand on to whatever future lay ahead?

 

I love Non Populus, which breaks my heart...but in all the wreckage, I think I'd want to hand Double Life on to some survivor. It's so battered and so wrecked and somehow there's some sort of hope in there, in all the scars...which I know seems like what you'd say about every great Matt Good tune, but I feel it. And there's that question, "How come I feel so terrible, when terrible's in fashion?" There's a whole decade tangled up in that, you're dining on a whole period's failed way of life there...

 

I hope I don't sound like too much of dope, but that tune is heroin to me...

Change of Season - favourite song

Failing the Rorschach Test - favourite title

[Zoon]

She's Got a New Disguise.

[Jessafur]

Matthew Good - House of Smoke and Mirrors

 

Matthew Good Band - Sort of a Protest Song

 

Both of those songs give me the chills each time I hear them. Great melodies and arrangement in both songs that are perfect for closing an album.

Used to be Fated; nowadays it reminds me too much of being depressed as a teenager. I think for now it's While We Were Hunting Rabbits and Folk Singer ("you might walk with dominance but you don't control me..." ; "...you will not be forgotten and this will not be forgotten" ...perfect.)

 

I love how many people love Sort of a Protest Song, though! It is a gorgeous song. It's been stuck in my head a lot for the past week.

Mine is The rat who would be king, although Champions of nothing and Blue skies over bad lands are very close :-)

[Young Grasshopper]

You're right.... Hard to pick just one.

 

Favorites to rock out to....

 

Everything is Automatic

The Future is X-Rated

Man of Action

Anti-Pop

 

Favorites to Listen to.....

 

Avalanche

Champions of Nothing

Lets Get it On

Near Fantastica

 

All time favorite.....

 

Avalanche

[cman]

Indestructible with Avalanche a close second.

[AnOceanPearl]

I am going to try to top five this;

 

1)Sort of a Protest Song

2)A Single Explosion

3)What if I Can't See the Stars, Mildred?

4)The Fine Art of Falling Apart

5)Running for Home

 

The first 3 are easy. After that, I get impulsive and it's usually what comes to mind. I could easly throw Flight Recorder, 99%, LoES, Workers, Volcanoes, Explode, Prime Time, Giant, Suburbia and a few others into spots 4 or 5 and be totally happy with them there.

[AllThatMakesUsHuman]

Set Me On Fire

Weapon

While We Were Hunting Rabbits

Avalanche

The Rat Who Would Be King

 

It's pretty much tied between these songs, hard to choose

[guitarchick]

Tripoli acoustic, fearless, born losers, 99%, and uhhhhhhh odette, and truffle pigs acoustic.
