Although Matt says that this song is about divorce, I think it can mean different things to different people. I mean, to me, the first time I heard it I thought it was about somene having to give away their daughter on her wedding day. Just because that's what Matt wrote it about doesn't mean that everyone has to interpret it that way :)
@xmammabellax Except for the part where he is lying in the dark with wife. Cause I"m pretty sure you were doing that with your dad and he was thinking about forever after with you, that's a whole other song and subject. LOL. I mean sometimes lyrics can't be interpreted any old way. They are what they are.
omg! This version of this song blows me away and gives me goose bumps every single time! amazing unbelievable! The raw intense emotion, the energy latterly the sweat put into this performance is amazing. I watch and wonder what was he thinking or feeling its like he put everything into this song, and let him self go get lost with in it. Not many artists do that!
Breath taking no words to describe how amazing i find this song!
His song car crash has been on the radio and the announcers are like that was new guy matt nathanson.. umm no hes no knew hes being do it for a while just coz he doesnt want any of his beautiful songs ruined on the radio by the mainstream frenzy.
stop trying to stir the pot. Fighting on the internet is ignorant. Go watch a Nathanson concert and he will tell you what the song is about, which is divorce... you may perceive it in a different way, but he describes it as being about divorce.
It's not about divorce, it's about not feeling good enough, he said "thought I lost you", he's talking about how his best still isn't good enough for her
Man, I can NEVER get enough of Matt Nathanson!!! I could listen to him till I die! lol, very good writer! Thanks for sharing the vid, it's awesome! If you have time check out another fav of mine, they have a brand spankin new vid, just search for "Can't Hate You + Brandon Paris Band" They're pop/rock/reggae, and I love 'em!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
this song sucks he says even at his best he wants to let go. what does that mean... if you truely love someone commitment shouldnt be a problem. and you should be ready and happy to commit your life to that person
Before you decide to make it your wedding song, you might want to Google it's meaning. Supposedly it's actually about divorce, and how he is afraid of commitment, but he also loves her. :P
I do LOVE Matt Nathanson, and this song, though. :)
@Tennischick2207 that is suckily twisted though, if you may of the adverb. love without commitment is fragile and weak. commitment without love is coerced and mechanical. they must go hand in hand.
Divorce maybe, his divorce.. No. I spoke to him out in Modesto for 10 minutes. I also spoke to Bridget (his wife of almost 9 years) for about 30 seconds. I mentioned to him that my wife was pregnant and was very excited for us. I asked him if he and B were going down that road anytime soon. To which he replied, "We would like to at some point." Has he had problems from time to time? Sure, who hasn't. But he is very public about those issues (which B probably doesn't like) but divorce? No.
omg i havent seen someone with as much talent as matts in A LONG TIME. i am a great music fan and i think he is amazing. he needs to get more publicity cuz i dont think he gets the credit he deserves. his song lyrics are beautiful and his voice is just breathtaking... i love Matt Nathanson!!! =)
he is so amazing! I remeber I saw him in san diego at the house of blues last spring and he performes better than any other band I've ever seen. he is absolutly hilarious! I bet he'll go very very far. hes so talented!
matt's talent stuns me.his ability to constantly perform his songs as if he's still at the moment of the birth of each song, is impeccable! i'm thrilled others are learning about him as its due time matt's own merit earns him his own slot as the main band of the show.he is a prolific lyricist and an engaging perfomer.he possesses the elusive gem that such artists as buckley had,the ability to share the rawness of the depth of his feelings, and the desire to involve his audience in that process.
He isn't married? I read he lives in San Fransico with his wife Bridget. Is he married? Please say no! I mean I want him to be happy, but I want him for myself, lol.
He is definitely still married. He still wears his wedding ring, and dedicated Some Mad Hope to her. There are also other videos I've seen where he talks about this song being about divorce, but not his divorce.
its an amazing song. and a ray of hope for all the female mattie n. fans. he wrote it after his divorce from his wife of like 10 years (not sure if that time is right)
you're totally right my bad, i thought i had heard him mention something like that on a live recording but I guess I misheard (thanks to the glorious internet i can look things up!) :)
Song of beauty and divorce at the same time. The man truely knows how to show the listener what he is trying to get across and punches us in the face with him poetic lines of great meaning, thank you Matt. You are an inspiration to us all :) "Hanz"
Genius can't be taught. I heart him.
