This could possibly be one of my favourite Matthew Good songs. ♥

This is my favorite breakup song.

Why did I think he was saying Blow out like the Death Star?

After looking at my previous post, I felt a bit nostalgic and randomly thought of this song, Matthew Good Band’s End Song, off of the 1994 demo 15 Hours on a September Thursday (yes, I think the title is pretty rad, too).  Great song.  

Before Matthew Good became who he was in the band in the mid 90s (circa Last of The Ghetto Astronauts) and the Matthew Good he is now, he was playing a lot of folksy sounding stuff, such as this track.  His work, though, even then, while sounding a bit rough around the edges and not 100% fully polished, it still was full of honesty, perplexing lyrics, and (pun intended),  good tunes. :)

I always thought this song in particular was very clever as it mentioned that popular children’s lullaby, Hush Little Baby.  The end of this song (fittingly it is called End Song, as noted above), really is moving.  

Do you feel like leaving?

Do you feel like they’re going to make you crawl?

Do you feel like believing nothing at all?

Do you feel?

Do you feel?

Feel Nothing at all?

This song appears to be about a relationship that possibly turned sour and now the narrator (in this case, Matt) is “running through the same excuses that never work,” and is stuck in a situation that is all take and no give.  I think anyone, whether they be in a romantic relationship or not, can relate to this.  This song’s about human behavior and interpersonal communication.

I’d recommend this track to all Matthew Good band or Matthew Good fans, fans of folk music, individuals who are big on fascinating lyrics (like me), and those (also, like me, high 5!) who are big on song writers, and not just those who sing and perform on stage and do not produce or write their own work.  (This is not to undermine those entertainers, because well, that is what they are paid to do just this…entertain, and they are good at it. However, something needs to be said and credit should be given to those who write, record, and perform their own work…it may not be a #1 on the Billboard top 100, but if it move someone…at least one person, and they can enjoy it, what a reward for a do it yourself dreamer….and what a difference it can make. 

Lyrics to End Song are below…enjoy and please feel free to follow! More on MG in coming posts…VSTV! (Fans of MGB will get this…;) 

Speak soon::

You wake up in the same room

 Put on the same clothes

Running through the same excuses

That never work

And outside your door there is a light that don’t shine no more

Maybe it just never worked

And hush now baby, don’t you cry
Mama’s going to buy you a reason why
If a reason why you ain’t smart
Mama’s going to buy you a brand new heart
A brand new heart

Nothing seems the same
Like walking in the the rain
When the moon is full

And nothing ever changes inside
I push, you never pull

And hush now baby, don’t you scream
Maybe life ain’t what it seems
And if you are to fall apart
Just don’t you drop your brand new heart
Your brand new heart

Do you feel like leaving
Do you feel like they’re going to make you crawl
Do you feel like believing
In nothing at all?

Do you feel? 
Do you feel? 

Feel nothing at all?
