My Matthew Good Project

[erikjw17]

For school I am writing a paper on the meaning of the song 21st Century Living, I would like to get other peoples thoughts on what they think the true meaning of the song is and what message if any is trying to be conveyed. Id appreciate all comments!

 

Thanks!

Is the message not obvious? I don't think there is a hidden meaning within the song. The lyrics and monologue convey it quite clearly.

It's really about how the apocalypse will be wrought by the apes and the fools who believe that clothing is socially proper. I mean, I thought that much was obvious.

You should pick a some that's not as obvious, like Prime Time Deliverance. I wrote a paper on that once. It was fun.

I thought the song was a little obvious. He's commenting on the very thread of society, which happens to be that people want things bigger and better. I got that from just listening to the song.

you should do your paper on Radiobomb...now theres a song with underlying meaning...

[juanpe]

I also think that explaining the lyrics will give you a very clear and direct intention of this song

[Maverick]

do a report on the song in the nf store that is just Matt ripping into some kid who threw something at him.

 

there's some funky underlying message shit going on in that one, I'm certain.

Yeah, go radio_bomb!

[leftofnormal38]

well if he cant figure out 21st century living how is he gonna figure out radio bomb

 

maybe we are being to pissy, he only wanted opinions about the song...the name says it all

In the song 21st Century Living, Matt Good sings about over-ambition being a destructive force in our society.

 

If your project is any more than that you'll be talking out your ass. Talk from your face. Make it Avalanche or While We Were Hunting Rabbits.

can i go to your school and have papers worth doing?

[The_Rat_Who_Would_be_King]

With a little creativity youd be surprised how worth writing you can make papers. In highschool I didn't have one major assignment that didn't involve Mattew Good or preach his gospel in some way, shape or form.

Heh. Same here. Once in my old guitar class we had to do a presentation on an Artist/Band and play a song. I picked Matt Good.

I wrote a script on the beatles, I painted matthew good in art. I painted john lennon to but someone stole it right after I got it marked.
