Matthew Good Lyrics Are Disjointed?

[Hoverball]

Thanks. Of all the days to finally have the time to come back on here and look what I find.

I think that the AoB album in and of itself is pretty disjointed and schizophrenic. It veers between extreme tenderness and extreme, well I can't come up with a good word for it but I guess maybe angry or hard would best describe the rest. There's very little middle ground to it, which I think makes it a fascinating album.

ditto to sat. for keeping pieces here and there and using them later.

 

i do the same.

haha, this is what I wrote down on saturday night while extremelly intoxicated. Don't really remember writing it as it was right around when I passed out I think, but anyways It's kinda on topic so I'll post it word for word:

"Matthew Good lyrics are like algerbra, each song having its own share of unknowns and variables. All of which also having their own formulas. Using the formulas and variables together allows for a much better understanding of the song being sung"

pshhh formulas are for nerds, and people who make good music, i am neither.

Since when was formulaic music "good"?

ALL music has to have a formula or it won't be good. It's just if you start to use the formula for more than 1 or 2 songs then you start to suck.

[EvanofEdmonton]

Guys, my post was drunken jibberish. I don't even know really what you mean by "formulaic" ?

rofl touche Evan of Edmonton. Touche.

 

(i meant that each song has to have a particular structure and must follow a certain pattern of rhyme/theme/etc...)

[Disestabulistic]

Let's not bicker, and argue about who was intoxicated when who wrote what for whatever reasons.

 

This had some kind of point to it when it was in my head, but it has escaped me now.

A lot of jazz follows the same basic formula.

[Disestabulistic]

I have suffered the consequences for not being specific.

 

I was refering to the horribly over used pop music formula, created by producers and record execs.

 

I thought it would be obvious what I meant, guess not. Ilearned my lesson.

[deftpunk]

I bet it all makes perfect sense to Matt! ;)

There is no question that they are "manic and disjointed." Personally, that's why I like them so much. Firstly, they're different than that other rhyming bullshit you hear, and they kind of fit with my personality. I can be pretty manic and disjointed at the best of times.

Matt's lyrics are very original, that's was seperates him from others.

[Steveo91]

Some of lyrics are hard to figure out but that's what makes them so intriging, i'd rather listen to the lyrics i don't understand than 99% of the other music out there

[guitarchick]

Yeah his lyrics are facked up. But he's just a crazy artist.

I like the fact that they can mean so many things.
