I will not let my first impression on the song be laid on a crappy mp3.

do any of you guys know what the girl from "Flight Recorder from Viking 7"'s name is? i'm sure i've heard it from someone already, but i forgot and she sounds familiar.
"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good
"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911
"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"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.

I had the privilege of seeing MGB's final concert, and i was front row centre, before i saw them i was kinda a fan but not much but the concert turned them into my 2nd fave band... since they've dropped in my rankings but it's still good tunes
I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.
"It's a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself. Makes you wonder what else you can do that you've forgotten about"

Matthew Good is amazing. In fact, Matthew Good Band is the only band that even comes in close to tickling my fancy as much as Our Lady Peace.
I think pretty much every Matt Good song is awesome, but my favorite at the moment is "Going all the Way."

don't look now, just keep watching the TV hating what's too see waiting for someone to say something that's right.

Matt Good have already passed OLP in my heart. You take OLP's best song (lyrically):
Goodnight, the future's sold out
there's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far
Tonight your faith has come down
To money and a TV
Psychics who've never been to Mars and
Nazi breast feeding....
And now you take one of the best Matt Good song:
You will come back within yourself
You can be art when we melt
And I will know what you were for
I say we're leaving
There ain't nothing here at all
Another day, a week the mall...
Suburbia is much more poetic.
And defying_gravity, I'm not use to your new avatar.
Al's emails put a smile on my face, even though all they say is "You've got a private message!"
You know, Odin, I totally agree with you. But for some reason I have a really hard time admitting it, cause I love OLP so much also.
I've heard that Matt talks a lot of shit on OLP, anyone know anything about that?

It's only Chris Martin!
I've always thought that OLP's lyrics are not particularly "deep" to be perfectly honest. They just sound profound because of the complex rhythms.
And Orangesteamboat, don't start up the whole MG v. OLP debate again. We'll never hear the end of it from some narrow-minded people.

picturize the nights and days you close the book and float away and somehow in between you gotta master lying to yourself you max your cards get out of school you get a job your job gets you and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else

once again, i will complain about living so far south of Canada, since you guys have the best music, well, you and california... but anyway... 
i had to search out all i could find on MGB after seeing "hello time bomb" on MM in like 99.... so finally i bought two CD's on the internet (Beautiful Midnight and Underdogs) and i absolutely loved them.... i put them close with OLP, his lyrics are most often deeper, but less applicable to fans... i see his points often, when he makes them clear, but i just cant listen to his songs and find a meaning in them for me, other than i hate the whole dumbing down of society, which he is very vocal about...
Audio of Being is good also, i recently got it... looking forward to his new band/solo stuff

They're probably more personal, for sure.

*whistle* look at all the AoB fans... Don't forget Beautiful Midnight now, that album is just perfect.
Also, no one seems to have recommended Jenni's Song or any of Matt Good's older, History Teacher era songs. If you haven't heard any of this older stuff check out The Bombmaker, The Ocean, Dancing Invisible, Casual Walks and Coming out in Purple.
Something I've noticed about the song names... there's a whole freaking lot that begin with 'The'
The Bombmaker
The Fall of Man
The Fine Art of Falling Apart
The Future Is X-Rated
The Inescapable Us
The Last Poem's Poet
The Man from Harold Wood
The Ocean
The Rat who would be King
The War is Over
The Workers Sing a Song of Mass Production
Okay not that many, but still... I miss any?
