the fine art of falling apart

[Crusader]

Pretty good for an acoustic set eh? I wonder what it would sound like with a full band and possible orchestra.

[intellectual all star]

It's such an incredible song, but I think that it's raw nature and one take-style is what lends it the power it has.

 

I wouldn't change it, that's for sure

[running4home]

that song is amazing it makes me cry

[madeforburning]

What album is that song from? I'm sure it's just one of those things that I need to think hard about but I can't recall the song . . .

[Tim]

It's from an ep called Loser Anthems

[angeltr]

It was weird, yesterday my ex, who i hadn't talked or seen for 5 months dropped loser anthems off at my door. he found it at cash convertors outta all the places! it was just weird

[Lauren]

what a great guy! where can i find one?

[miscellaneous]

Yes, I need one too!

 

I bid on one on Ebay...it eventually went for $99.99 US!

[Mr. Chips]

The song is powerfull. It's my fav.

[Lauren]

haha top 5 no doubt..

A hundred bones U.S.??? Hell I work at a music store and with my discount it was 4 bucks. EBay here I come...

[loveisnotenough]

I agree that this song is beautiful because of its simplicity. Just Matt's voice and a guitar and the raw emotion in his voice just gets me everytime. I once read a quote from Matt talking about this song. He said something about how he went in and just did it and he was "flat all over it" but that's just the way it is. The fact that the song isn't perfect, makes it perfect. Know what I mean?

It's funny how powerful the imperfect stuff is. I think two of the most potent MG songs are "The Fine Art of Falling Apart," and "Can't Get Shot in the Back if You Don't Run," both done in one swift turn.

[THE MAN]

ive never heard em. only song i heard on loser anthems wa flashdance. an quality was terrible. are all of the songs on it bad?

[miscellaneous]

hey october, are there still copies there? I'd definately pay for shipping too if I could get a copy.

[october]

Sorry...we had 2 copies sitting on the shelf f o r e v e r....I had mine the day it came out and never thought of picking the other 2 up....curses. Someone came in and bought them both. On a side note, they're all numbered to something like _ of __ ___ ( i think it was pressed 35,000 times ) and mine is number 7. oooooooooooooh, crazy.......not really.

[miscellaneous]

Well, if anyone can find a copy, new, for a reasonable price, I'd be mroe than willing to buy it.

[Crusader]

Seven!???!!!! Scan it so we can oggle.

[mcgarnicle19]

I still see copies of Loser Anthems in stores on occasion... i dont think there is a need to pay outrageous sums of $$ for it on ebay.

[miscellaneous]

Well there's only one music store in this city, and it doesn't have it.

 

If you see any, I'd be eternally greatful.
