    Review about Matt Nathanson

    The correct lyrics clarify... | Reviewer: Erobs
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    The correct lyrics are "I'm jealous of the moon, for how it moves away." This makes it pretty clear that the man in this song is absolutely 100% regretful about getting married. It's interesting to see people put a positive spin on this song and think it should be used at a wedding... I'm getting married in two months and this would totally send the wrong message to everyone if it was our first dance! I think Christie's analysis is quite a stretch, to say the least.


    not, not a wedding song | Reviewer: anonymous
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    Just heard Matt Nathanson play this at Summerstage on Tuesday night. He introduced it by saying that people think it is a wedding song, but it's not, NOT a wedding song. He said - sort of laughing - please, please do not play this at your wedding. Did not elaborate further on the meaning of the lyrics, but hey, that was straight from him.


    na | Reviewer: brittany
        ------ About the song Come On Get Higher performed by Matt Nathanson

    i like this song as said above it is catchy this song is my new love song i will remember it forever and i like to sing it when i am going to bed and i just sing my self to sleep with this song i love it!


    Aceee | Reviewer: PAiN
        ------ About the song Laid performed by Matt Nathanson

    The lyrics are correct, This is one of my fav songs, It is passionate love and also It is become a bore not becoming, as for the drawer comment, Well thats just wrong, its door try singing it with drawers imagine his voice doing it, it'd have a orrr sound at the end and would simplily sound wrong, Sorry Just these lyrics are right. Amazing song Btw :D


    Full Throttle | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson

    I think the song is about wanting to experience life in full throttle, "No Holds Barred". That includes the ultimate high of letting go of ones' self and falling in love. Sometimes we let ourselves go through the motions of living, but we are not really experiencing anything for fear of rejection or failure. This song gives me a buzz for life.


    First impression | Reviewer: hinker
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    Whoa, reading your guys' imput really changed how I saw this song. the first time I heard it I got the impression that the guy loved someone who got married and he could never have her. "all the wrong things on fire" because being with her was forbidden because she was married to someone else. "I'm jealous" because he can't have her, "future in your hands, and all that I can think is how long ever after is" because she's not his.
    I think you are more right than I in that the song is about uncertainty in the future and such.



    Lovely | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    it is def a wedding song but it is about the doudts the guy has. he is only human and to be fair marriage is scary and even at his best he is not sure he would be able to give her what she wants and needs, what if he failed thats wht he wants to let her go, not because he does not love her but because he might not be able to meet all her expectations, and imagine they are both stil virgins lying in the dark scared of what is to come in their lives and all other aspects of their lives. he is completely honest when he thus admits how scared he is and in admitting his own fear he shows just how much he realt loves her.


    i disagree | Reviewer: jennifer
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    I would never want this to be my wedding song because it leaves too much doubt as to how you're supposed to feel on your wedding day because there will be people that will have a totally different out-take on this song. Yes i do agree a very beautifully written song but i personally believe it's mostly about a break up forsure and how "at someones best they wanna let the other person go" they wanna be clear headed and make the right decision so at the highest point where there is no doubting emotions thats when they are positive they want to let go....and lol i gave you away, how else to interprit that?


    Both Sides | Reviewer: Christy
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    I respectively disagree with Josh H. for the simple fact that the song could, in fact, be positively interpreted. For instance,the line stating, "All the wrong things on fire" could symbolize the fact that as the couple lays in the dark, they are worrying about things that are unimportant. This could be anything from feeling too young, worrying about how the ceremony will go, etc. "Even at my best, I wanna let go" could stand for letting go of all responsibilities and worries and finding himself lost in love with his bride. When he says "Thought I'd lost you, I gave you away" could refer to a mistake the groom had made in the past by ending their relationship only to realize he made a huge mistake and she took him back. Likewise, saying he is jealous of how the moon moves the waves could represent the fact that the moon moves the waves every single night, and thinking back to his past mistake of abandoning her, he feels terrible. Saying that he wants to be somebody else and wants to thicken his skin could simply mean that he wishes to be somebody less nervous/anxious about the wedding. "Just wish it all away again" could mean he wants to wish away his doubts. Thus, I feel this song could most definitely be used as a wedding song. It all depends on how one interprets it.


    Finally!! | Reviewer: kayla
        ------ About the song Come On, Get Higher performed by Matt Nathanson

    So I heard this song on the radio once and I loved it.. but I never knew who sung it. Then some months later I heard it at the mall and still never knew who sung it.. I called around asking friends... no luck.. then I had remembered some lyrics to it and googled it.. yaay.. I am in love with this song.. its so.. peaceful..?


    A Song That Just Makes Me Happy | Reviewer: Heather
        ------ About the song Come On Get Higher performed by Matt Nathanson

    Well I already said it, didn't I? This is a song that just makes me happy. I love the lyrics, and the music itself is catchy in a good sort of way. It's fun, upbeat, and beautiful. It's the sort of song that makes you smile for no good reason, and love someone just because. ; )


    Misinterpretation | Reviewer: Josh H.
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    It is true that this is a beautiful song, but I don't believe ANYONE would want to use it as a wedding song. It is NOT a nice, pretty song about how wonderful marriage is. It is a song about regret, about how the speaker is disillusioned with marriage and realizes that he made a mistake: the wrong things are on fire, he wants to let go, he feels that "ever after" (the rest of his life) is too long to spend with his bride, and he wishes he were someone else. No, this is not a happy wedding song...but that doesn't keep it from being exquisitely beautiful and incredibly poignant.


    opened arms | Reviewer: Leslie
        ------ About artist/band Matt Nathanson

    His music has opened my eyes about life. His lyrics say the words we xould never express, it's amazing. I love his music and his drive. I'm only 15, but his music really has given me a different view of musc and life. Love, Les(: <3


    wings | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Wings performed by Matt Nathanson

    i think wings is an awsome song because its lively and, well, just awsome!I wish i could open up my wings, like it says in the song, but unfortunatly i dont have any wings. But the song is still awsome!


    If you use this song | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson

    I think that this is a very special song and any one that uses it I think it shall be for a wedding song. It would be so beautiful. I also think that the person that wrote down the lyrics on this website need some practice with their typing. Ha ha ha ha ha that was NOT a joke I am serious


    Very good song | Reviewer: Some Guy
        ------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson

    I think that the song can be taken in the two ways - 1 being depressed (easier to identify), the other is wanting to really live one's life, try new things, and do amazing and exciting things in life (slightly harder to identify)

    just food 4 thought :P


    what i think | Reviewer: phill
        ------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson

    I don't think song is about love and broken heartedness. I think this song is about trying to find something more in life. Trying to live a life to remember. Trying to find a feeling that you have never felt before. Not love, but just a certain feeling in life that makes you feel the greatest you have ever felt. Also, this song means that you want to find something new in your life. Something great. Something that you will remember forever.


    Great song | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson

    i love this song so much. i especially love the part "i wanna let go and know that i'll be alright". i cling too tightly to people and i just need to understand that if i back off, i'll still live.


    Amazing! | Reviewer: Melissa
        ------ About artist/band Matt Nathanson

    Matt Nathanson is such an amazing musician. There isn't one song by this man that I don't like, even his covers for other songs are amazing! He is also unbelieveably funny and down to earth. I went to his concert recently with my cousin and we were both blown away. I was already a fan before the concert but I walked away from that concert feeling as if I was his biggest fan. I can honestly say that was one of the greatest nights of my life and the greatest concert ever! After the concert Matt came out and signed autographs and took pictures with his fans and of course my cousin and I were some of the first few to get in line for that. I was so blown away by how friendly and down to earth he is. If any of you ever get the chance to see him in concert I highly recommend that you do because you too will be blown away by this mans talent! (:


    wat i think | Reviewer: Vinny
        ------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson

    There can be many diffrent ways to look at this song and find diffrent meanings in it. The way i see it is that he has had his heart broken. The worse pain you can feel in life is loving someone with all you have and then losing them. After that for awhile you feel impervious to all other pain like nothing else in the world can hurt you as much as that. So by him talking about wanting to feel a car crash, a bomb drop, the world stop, i think hes trying to find something else that will make him feel some sort of comparable pain again, and that he will keep wanting to feel those things untill hes "satisfied" and when he finally is, he knows hes ready to move on.
