Good 'wooing' Matt Good Songs

[sodamntired]

Do you have a new girl in your life, what MG song do you play for her, or him, to kick off that stage of the relationship, so she can see you have a great taste in music?

 

I usually have to go with all of Hospital Music, or Audio Of Being.

Running for Home has worked for me. Trust me.

I used to have this mixed Cd of all my favourite Matt songs.... must have been in and around the time that White Light came out. That worked pretty well, as well as AOB and Loser Anthems. My mix was something like this:

 

symbolistic white walls

fearless

Inescapable us

prime time deliverance

fated

i miss new wave

suburbia

man from harold wood

fine art of falling apart

truffle pigs

the rat who would be king

Sort of a Protest song

weapon

avalanche

house of smoke and mirrors

[bishopx]

There's a couple of mix discs in the multichanger that we listen to in bed... these matt songs on it...

 

Primetime Deliverance(Acoustic)

Generation X-Wing(Acoustic)

Vermillion

Fearless

I miss new wave

Metal Airplanes

A Single Explosion

Fated

Empty Road(Acoustic)

I just sent my current girlfriend some MG songs that I liked, and that got her hooked. This is what I remember sending:

 

Sort of a Protest Song

A Single Explosion

Flight Recorder From Viking 7

Running for Home

 

Almost certainly some more, but she ended up getting more of his stuff on her own and now really likes his music.

[here is no why]

Metal Airplanes seems to work, from experience. Same with A Single Explosion.

 

House of Smoke and Mirrors is always good as well.

I made my girlfriend a Matt Good Mix CD - appropriately titled "Matthew Good Loves You"

 

From off the top of my head, the CD had

 

Giant - can't believe no one mentioned this one yet

Fearless

Song for the Girl

Indestructible

Change of Season

Truffle Pigs

 

thats all i can think of off the top of my head. But it definitely served its purpose ;)

[malarky]

I actually sang Casual Walks for a former girlfriend. (I was a little drunk.) Still, it worked wonders ;)

[Pew89]

My ex liked weapon solely because of the first line that I would sing along with "here by my side... an angel"

 

I guess she didn't realize that the rest of the song wasn't really about a girl lol. Oh well, it made her happy

 

Other than that I'd probably go with....

 

True Love Will Find You In The End

Empty Road

Fearless

Strange Days

Hello Time Bomb (just adding a hit to trigger their memory of mgb)

 

I'm probably missing some but a lot of good ones have already been suggested

"Let's get it On", "Fearless" and "Born to Kill" work for me...when I'm solo, like. I mean...why should I share with anyone else?

;) :angry:

[taylor_ignition]

Bright End of Nowhere. Hands down.

[ToadMan]

The more I think about this thread the more weird I find it... I find that most of Matt's music is a little to pointed for setting the mode. Sure you've got some great music for that context, but if you actually think about the lyrics, almost nothing is appropriate.

Avalanche (live at Massey Hall) My new wooing song choice

[cneglia]

The Inescapable Us..

that song has some great intangible quality.
