If I Was A Tidal Wave

[icantremember1989]

it is interesting

[Doormat]

Err...what?

[ecnarf]

Wow, what a beautiful song.

 

If this is the kind of stuff that's coming up on the new CD, then it's going to be fucking amazing.

[Computer]

I kind of wish I didn't just listen to that, because it makes my anticipation for his next album that much higher...

 

EDIT: For those of you who don't know, you can find his song here, Matt's Myspace

Great song, I hope he'll post more.

[ecnarf]

Can anyone get it into a file and megaupload it? I want to play this somewhere outside his mysapce page, but it won't let us download it.

 

Perhaps time for some song pirating using an audio cable.

[ccf23]

This is going to get a few listens before I close it. It's awesome. The new album is going to be something special. Acoustic Matt is my9 favourite Matt.

 

...and because i'm an asshole, it's "Tidal".

[Blender]

...and because my audio cable connectors are so thick and the in/out jacks are so close together, I can't record the songs to my PC and then upload.

 

Fact: The world hates us.

[ccf23]

Not the greatest quality but it should get you through:

 

You're Welcome

[steve]

anyone feel like getting some lyrics up?

 

great song, btw.

[icantremember1989]

after thinking about it, i dont enjoy the song as much as i want to.

[Prometheon]

Meh, it's alright. I'm not really a fan of the overtly political lyrics.

 

VERY rough:

 

The Saudis are ever our friends and our allies

the president smokes cigars with their princes on his *something*

Accross the street a mother sleeps with a baby's ghost wrapped in pink and spotlights

 

Well if I was a tidal wave, well you know that I'd

Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry

Dissapear down this trail of busted years to ride the rails

Goodbye

 

Well my name is propaganda

My momma's pain is propaganda

and if I was a tidal wave

I'd let the indian (????) fall

Yeah if I was a tidal wave

I'd be first against the wall

 

Back in 1980 Mayor Young, he sent the key

to the city of Detroit to praise the best of enemies

who shook hands with the devil; now he runs the DOD

and spends lives

 

Well if I was a tidal wave, well you know that I'd

Rise up and crash your castle gate and leave you high and dry

Dissapear down this trail of busted years to ride the rails

Goodbye

 

My name is propaganda

My daddy's pain is propaganda

and if was a tidal wave

form coast to coast I'd scream

yeah if I was a tidal wave

I'd wash this whole place clean

I'd wash this whole place clean.

[icantremember1989]

the exact lyrics are on his myspace

[Prometheon]

Really? Where?

Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

[orgasmi]

Wow. Matt, if you're reading this, you gotta play that song at the folk fest in Calgary coming up, I think I might die on the spot.

And it does seem like this is the direction of the new album, I've heard Can't Get Shot In The Back If You Don't Run will be on there too... always thought an acoustic based album from him would just be stellar, and juding by the guitar in this song he's gotten even better on that old acoustic. Exciting stuff! Any word when that new album will be?

It is interesting, quite, in a nice sunday afternoon eating fresh sweet corn in the sun coming out of a square wicker(sp?) basket.

 

 

Lets hope that makes sense to someone besides me.

[Crusader]

It's coming up in the NF store in a few minutes.

[Guest jsunC]

Has a good sound to it. I don't mind Matt's music being political, actually i like it, but i hope his songs are more metaphorical, if you know what i mean.

[Ryan44]

Meh, it's alright. I'm not really a fan of the overtly political lyrics.

i agree 100% with this statement. its a good song, but i dont like the political stuff at all. it makes me angry.

[matrix]

I think that was his point. You should be angry with all this polictically shit that the wonderful W. Bush put us in.

[AnOceanPearl]

Matt sure knows how to write with an acoustic guitar. I

[orgasmi]

anyone tabed this yet?

hey Ryan44, the political stuff makes you angry? how so? what about? why would you feel that way?

you explore those thoughts and matt's song has done more than it's service, especially given the spin-turned world in which we exist. everyone has a need to examine our situation personally, and if you examine it and you come out angry at the leftist message, well at least you thought about it. cheers matt.

I hate you too, but I'll tell you a secret:

 

Go to your PC volume control. Go to the Properties under options. Select Recording. Change the input to Stereo Mix. Record that shit in your favorite audio editing program. Presto change-o, instant mp3.

 

Also works on Wintersleep concerts.

 

Matt's fucking good with an acoustic guitar. Hmm, now should I download it for laziness or record it myself...

 

Edit: Since I can get better audio quality, I'm recording it. I will upload it in a YouSendIt. If the admins would like to update their file in the store, they may.

 

High-Quality Version
