[rockingryder]

wow people have to being god in a matthew video song GTFA thats means go the fuck away

[TheCroatiaKid]

...but seriously, this is a fantastic song.

[suckitfuckerIDC]

Matthew Good's music, as the music of revolutionaries of his magnitude before him, Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, Johann Sebastian Bach, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Ludwig Van Beetohven, and Kurt Kobain, will echo through the generations, like a folding ripple becoming a wave, across the surface of an ocean, in a world of still waters, and calm winds.

[TheCroatiaKid]

@suckitfuckerIDC Yeah, he's pretty awesome. Matthew Good? More like Matthew Great. I'm not the poet you are, all I've got is lame dad jokes.

[Guillberto]

Just excellent

[Sean92son]

Matthew Good is a lyrical genius. I love this song and love his voice. He knows how to put emotion into his songs and get across to his listeners. Absolutely love it

[48hart]

awesome song

[teahouse100]

Religion isn't bull - its inextricably human, and can be extremely beautiful. This song, reminds me of humanness; our trials, qualms, uncertainties, and ultimately our perseverance.

[987657654321]

@teahouse100 you're right, religion is a very human thing. almost every early society tried to explain the world and their place in it through religion. I wouldn't go so far as to call it beautiful though. actually I don't know why you're talking about religion anyway.

[teahouse100]

@987657654321

The song's about finding forgiveness for something.. maybe societal ills. He's asking Mother Mary for forgiveness.

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 You're right. It IS human to try to explain why we're here, so we can stop being distracted by our own wonderings, so we may progress in our endless subconcious quest to ascend to a higher plane of existence, for we all subconciously fear the end of the world, or atleast our own personal world, before we reach some awakening we all believe is coming to us personally, at a certain age, that will make us that angelic wise, all knowing, flowing white haired immortal figure (continued)

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 from our fairytales, who preaches to the protagonist, something he doesn't listen to, but is right in the end as always. We humans want to experience every stage of life, and pan out after our tribulations, in an eternal ocean of our own awakening and discovery, becoming transcendant beings, and accomplishing our feeling of moving on to the next level of existence, a whole new world for us to explore, as by the time we reach the age to ponder this one, we've grown tired of it (cont.

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 and feel that figuring out what our forefathers did long ago, is something tired and recycled, a waste of our time. This is why we work for corporations, hoping to progress the world along to the point where we meet our new world, through a portal or among the stars, and die as the pioneers to it's golden shores. Which is why religion is what it is. Our human need, it tried to explain the things we didn't know, so we needn't come up with a truly fitting theory on the subject (cont.)

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 for we know not now and could never know. The abscence of evidence is the evidence of abscence. So how COULD we know? Philosophers have wasted lifetimes trying to answer questions like that, and the easiest way to feel at peace with that question, is to wait for someone to answer it for us, e.i. a floating geriatric genie in the clouds, who can send people into a fiery eternal pit, or answering it with a 4 armed axe wielding wargod.

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 Ultimately, religion is as far as researched gathering goes, each place of origin's way of explaining it's origins. Never truly right, never truly wrong, religion is the ultimate debatable accounting. The arguement will wage on until the scientific begin of everything is found, which it is extremely doubtful and likely impossible, will ever be discovered in our lifetimes, or during the span of humanity's existence. I for one, believe in the fact that I am cognitive, (cont.)

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 and in my cognition, I've observed many things that have caused real and lasting interactions with the enviroment around me. Science is all I have ever seen progress the world, though it has helped to tear it apart, most of our bloodiest wars, were fought on a basis of religion. Jihad afterall, does not mean "Leave our oil and our land alone you filthy american!" it's an arabic word, for a divine war for the glory of Allah, their 6 armed god, each arm representing a different (cont.

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 pursuits or flaws, such as Romance, Lust, War, Agriculture, Architecture, Honor, Respect and Dominance. As only a recent example of a war fought on a basis of both religion (Middle-eastern countries) and greed (United States). The two walk hand in hand it seems, (The crusades, The corruption in the church, Hedonistic rome's conquering of empires for the glory of their gods, and the advancement of their prosperity). Religion is really what you make of it, and I choose

[suckitfuckerIDC]

@teahouse100 To make nothing of it. And you are still right. It is human to try and justify our origins simply and concisely, in any possible way. But it is the people's choice, whether or not to embrace those ideals. Religion is human. But we're not really just human anymore, we're humanity. So we can be so much more, than the excuses of our forefathers. How does any of this relate to this song? It doesn't. But I hold Matthew Good in high regards, as one of the best musicians, of this century.

[FLESHREBEL1000]

matt good = jesus even tho religion is bullshit you get my point

[Socialcode90]

good quality

[Bonapartess]

Matthew Good has a gift for speaking from the heart.

[600sixtysixBullets]

this is now my favorite song in the world.

[nickismilk]

Canada really has the most talented musicians. You won't find Hanah Montana or those jonas faggots up here eh.

[InvaderChrissy]

@nickismilk True, but you guys did birth Avril Lavigne.. they can't ALL be winners.

[nickismilk]

@InvaderChrissy True enough, I guess like the rest of the world I seemed to forget about her, and Sum 41 for that matter, they both suck the big one.

[InvaderChrissy]

@nickismilk Agreed haha Long Live Matthew Good

[okdontnoewattoput]

@nickismilk umm really hate mentionin his name but dude justin bieber is from Canada so as much as i love my canadian music we have produced some fags i guess

[FakeUsername54321]

@okdontnoewattoput I wouldn't blame Canada for Justin Bieber. Little faggidy kids exist in all countries. Blame the US music industry for hand picking the shittiest international acts to throw money at.  S'the reason most famous international Canadian bands are embarrassing.

[zalmorn]

@nickismilk Don't Speak too quickly, We got Beiber -______-

[peterpeter9900]

I'm so thankful to be apart of something so special in this era in life. We surely do live in exciting times don't we? I hope when I die I hear the entire "Vancouver" album repeatedly for eternity. Might sound silly but I'm almost afraid to die cause I probably would NEVER be fortunate enough again to.Really feeling the song called "A silent army in the trees".Matter of fact think I'll go put that on right now for like the 300th time today lol LOVE THESE GUYS and U2

[JrRulz8]

@peterpeter9900 I love both Matt and U2 also.Crazy Eh/? lol

[KeeganMcAlpine]

I love cheese...brick cheese

[DaryenAnderson]

i am absolutely speachless, i am beyond words with how much i love Matthew Good and this song.

[Ares823]

I just saw Matthew Good live in Pittsburgh last night, and he opened with this song, then flowed right into Avalanche without stopping. It seems like he also agrees that this song has something in common with Avalanche.

P.S. the show was amazing of course!

[Jimytapp]

Okay, this song is the best song I've ever heard, and is better every time I listen to it.

[rubenkoppe]

i don't know if i necessarily hear that much avalanche in this song but i can kind of see where you are coming from. avalanche is probs my second favorite matthew good song. so amazing.

[purplebrickroad]

This is my favorite song on the album.

[zalmorn]

@purplebrickroad Us Remains Impossible is amazing as well

[WaitsWeights]

man.. i love matthew good.

[124404302]

when you play acoustic, maybe it sounds the same, this isnt avalanche, it is classic matt good

[barriehomeboy]

One foot in front of the other...am I the only one who hears that in it?

[burtonsthebest]

Totally!!!

[barriehomeboy]

totally I'm the only one who hear it or totally it sounds like Avalanche?

[barriehomeboy]

When I hear this I keep waiting for Avalanche to kick in, with the awesome affects and the guitar. I'm not sure if I like it or dislike it. Well, it's a sweet song, but not up the Avalanche standards.

[villanchiller904]

agreed Matthew good is a great musician and singer

[roback85]

This would make an excellent single...
