And he can't understand how everyone goes on breathing when true love ends, his mother whispers quietly... heaven's not a place that you go when you die, it's that moment in life when you actually feel alive

Flight Recorder From Viking 7 is the best depressing song ever, imo. :nod:
While We Were Hunting Rabbits, sorta.
A Boy And His Machine Gun, kinda sorta, around the end.
Born To Kill.
Life Beyond The Minimum Safe Distance.
Sort Of A Protest Song.
Let's Get It On.
The Inescapable Us.
Running For Home.
Running For Home, seriously.

Most of his older stuff too:
The Ocean
Dancing Invisible.
Casual Walks.
Folk Singer.
Fearless.
Break In The Rythm, which features amazing piano.
Entresol.
End Song.
Heather's Like Sunday.
Whispering In The Dark.

Even Jenni song would be if it wern't so up beat, the lyrics are.....well at least after you've read "Night Opus" that such a sad story in matt life, and it makes Jenni song 100 times better

"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

here's a better idea, let's try to find all of Matt Good's happy-type songs:

In A World Called Catastrophe
Song For The Girl
Giant
...
...
...
and those barely count.

it's a teenage story of matt and his best female friend/lover. As they grow up and such, it has no happy ending and makes you sad to see it's true. Go ahead and read it if you can find it, maybe i'll look it up, i know i have it in his book, but it all used to be on the net too
