What Does "in A Coma" Mean?

[Moonlight_Graham]

the ever-poetic Matt is ever-confusing. So whats it really mean, anyone know?

 

Does it mean, like, "here's all the shit i've done if you've been in a coma the last 10 years"?

I thought it had something to do with the fact that guy went in a 10 year coma and then spoke, which is rare.

 

And this collection of music being from the past 10 years.

 

And the music being the speaking.

 

Thats just me.

i figure its a metaphor for the inability to move or speak in the music industry. hes been through a lot of crap with record companies and all the drama from when he made audio of being might have to due with it too.

He made all this music while in a coma. A wonder of science.

I think you pretty much got it right.

 

possible things it could have been intended to say:

 

1. sarcastically saying his music is a snooze, or that the people who are listening to it are asleep.

also,he seems to like to talk about sleep and dreams. "lay back down your pretty head, while the worlds in bed, I dreamed I was a pigeon etc)

 

2. the music is SO GREAT that you can't move or speak when you hear it.

 

 

It's probably a combination of all those things, aswell as what rmak said. I think it's talking about that time period that you're stuck in, not just for MG music but for everyone else. everyone has the music of their generation. no matter how old they get they always associate best with their generation. they're "stuck" in that "time period". this one's mine.

My take on it was that Matt wrote all of these songs during sort of a trance-like state of his life, where he was so heavily involved in certain experiences and certain thoughts, and now he looks back on them and feels so removed from it. Not literally a coma or anything, but just sort of being in this one state.

 

I agree with that idea of "the music of that generation". That's probably got to do with the fact that we look to music at one point in our life as a really formative kind of thing, and later on (as I know happened for me) we begin to progess on into other endeavours. I wish I could still be as receptive to music as I once was. Although I know that I will be again, because whenever your life is just "thrown off" a lot, you tend to look to art and other things to help clarify things once again. or at least i do.

I have a paranoic fear of my grand kids hearing me listen to matthew good and complaining about softy fogie music.

It means that Matthew Good has slipped into a diabetic coma. He'll never be the same...
