Bluebird

[beautiful_midnight]

I don't know if anyone cares about this, but I wanted to share with everyone anyways. Almost 2 months ago now I got my first tattoo of a bluebird on my left hip. I got it for several reasons. The first being that my grandfather, whom I was very close to passed away 4 years ago after a long fight with pancreatic cancer. Matt's music has helped me through so many stages in my life, especially the loss of my grandfather. My grandfather was in the navy during WWII and it is traditional for sailors to have "Bluebirds of Happiness" tattooed on their shoulders after crossing the ocean, so my tattoo is a strong reminder of my grandfather and how much he meant to me. Furthermore, Matt's song "Bluebird" is one of my favourites, (though I could never really pick just one) and since his music has become such a defining aspect of my life, my bluebird reminds me of the support I got from music when there was nowhere else I could turn. It may not seem like much, but this bit of information is very important to me, and I thought that as Matt Good fans as well, some of you might be interested to hear it. Cheers. :angry:

Thats some pretty good reasons to get a tattoo. Some people just get tattoos for shits and giggles, but at least you got it for a reason.

 

Matts music helped me out when I was feeling down as well. Great music to listen to no matter how you feel!

good symbolism, and yeah i'd get a tatoo with meaning were i to do it at all especially if it stays with you forever (or a long while). matt's music is a vehicle for any emotion. scratch that, for all emotion.
