I've held off but hell. Matt is a personal indulgence and sharing usually does not come with personal. We are exceptionally tight and I appreciate him for his endurance.
Powerful song
On nights like tonight when no one's around
I put on the record, the record I found
When I was a kid and the world was a town
And Heartbreaker weren't nothing painful
Carry me Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like Sister Theresa, canonized, faceless
The press release leaves the plagiarist nameless
And all is forgiven
On nights like tonight when no one's around
I sit in the dark on my hands on the ground
And I smile like the devil smiles, unseen but proud
Truth be told I don't know who's at the helm
But just sit tight
I'll make my way to you
If I'm not on time
Remember that I tried
Carry me Mother Mary, I'm faithless
Like needles in haystacks that we just replace
It's all the same monster that nobody faces
Where all is forgiven
On nights like tonight when no one's around
I turn off the lights and I float off the ground
And I smile like I used to when you were around
But truth be told I don't know who's at the helm
But just sit tight
I'll make my way to you
I'll find a way to get to you
I don't know who's at the helm
But just sit tight
And I'll find a way to get to you

powerful pen... thank for sharing!
a brilliant individual
Agreed. Thank you for this.
My Christmas Morning wake-up tune.....Merry to you too.
ITunes made "Born Losers" its Free Single of the Week about a year ago? Another truly great song from Matthew Good.....Maybe the best FSotW ever....I pessimistically feel like Itunes only mistakenly lets a few good songs through. "Home" by Great Northern is another that comes to mind.
