------ About the song Laid performed by Matt Nathanson
it IS CUMS. Cuming is climaxing(apparently a lot of you need a sex ed lesson, having an orgasm. So "The neighbors complain about the noises above, But she only cums when she's on top" makes complete sense. He is talking aobut heir bed being on fire with passion and love, talking about making love and that she makes a lot of noise and she only climaxes(Cums) if hse is on top. SHEESH people

------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
Matt Nathanson was at Longwood University for their Oktober Fest on October 3rd & he performed this song & said, "this is a song about weddings, but not bubbly weddings. & yes, this is also about ice cream." he explained earlier in the show that "ice cream" was sex. so this song is about sex & not wanting to commit obviously. straight from the horses mouth!!! =) still love this song though!!! his voice is amazing!

------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson
Maybe a song about loosing faith in life in love in people but holding faith in oneself. Experiencing a life so cruel so consistantly a numbness embraces the persons soul and body and mind but a a burning passion dwells so deep that swells within ' - held in check kept hidden from all others so as not to be sought not wanted - a silent scream from the safety of lips held tightly closed!
letting go | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson
the most obvious meaning in this song is the idea of being able to let go and for once feel secure.
throughout life all humans suppress the fear of death because the two concepts humanity can never comprehend because of the way our minds work are eternity or an end leaving us somewhere in the middle undecided and doing our best to ignore the fact that we can never rely know. I believe this song evokes such a powerful reaction because when one considers the feeling of letting go of life and finally being presented with a simple answer to the question "is there more" they get a sense of the overwhelming relief and then in turn a realization of just how much fear has been suppressed. clearly this can be reflected in one of the most important factors in life that almost every one struggles with the fear to act. and its probably most likely the intended idea that one wants to let go of their self doubts and find out if that person that fills their mind rely does feel the same way and the similar tremendous relief and overjoy that comes with that.

------ About the song Come On Get Higher performed by Matt Nathanson
Oh, if anyone's been through an experience like mine, a long-distance relationship with such love involved... it just reminds me of when you finally see them again and you love them so much and you just want to push through the complications that happened while you were gone because they were gone when all you want is them
Music is as much about the listener as the composer | Reviewer: Adam
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
Music is art.. art is interpretive. Each and every person has a different response to it. Like most things it will probably depend on how you feel at that time in your life. Feel free to have it be sad or happy for you.. and how it affects others doesn't diminish what it speaks to you.
So sit back.. relax.. enjoy the song.. and feel not the desire to tell others they are wrong about their perspective.. We have plenty that in the world... and it does us no good.
The correct lyrics clarify... | Reviewer: Erobs
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
The correct lyrics are "I'm jealous of the moon, for how it moves away." This makes it pretty clear that the man in this song is absolutely 100% regretful about getting married. It's interesting to see people put a positive spin on this song and think it should be used at a wedding... I'm getting married in two months and this would totally send the wrong message to everyone if it was our first dance! I think Christie's analysis is quite a stretch, to say the least.
not, not a wedding song | Reviewer: anonymous
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
Just heard Matt Nathanson play this at Summerstage on Tuesday night. He introduced it by saying that people think it is a wedding song, but it's not, NOT a wedding song. He said - sort of laughing - please, please do not play this at your wedding. Did not elaborate further on the meaning of the lyrics, but hey, that was straight from him.
i like this song as said above it is catchy this song is my new love song i will remember it forever and i like to sing it when i am going to bed and i just sing my self to sleep with this song i love it!

Full Throttle | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Car Crash performed by Matt Nathanson
I think the song is about wanting to experience life in full throttle, "No Holds Barred". That includes the ultimate high of letting go of ones' self and falling in love. Sometimes we let ourselves go through the motions of living, but we are not really experiencing anything for fear of rejection or failure. This song gives me a buzz for life.
First impression | Reviewer: hinker
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
Whoa, reading your guys' imput really changed how I saw this song. the first time I heard it I got the impression that the guy loved someone who got married and he could never have her. "all the wrong things on fire" because being with her was forbidden because she was married to someone else. "I'm jealous" because he can't have her, "future in your hands, and all that I can think is how long ever after is" because she's not his.
I think you are more right than I in that the song is about uncertainty in the future and such.

------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
it is def a wedding song but it is about the doudts the guy has. he is only human and to be fair marriage is scary and even at his best he is not sure he would be able to give her what she wants and needs, what if he failed thats wht he wants to let her go, not because he does not love her but because he might not be able to meet all her expectations, and imagine they are both stil virgins lying in the dark scared of what is to come in their lives and all other aspects of their lives. he is completely honest when he thus admits how scared he is and in admitting his own fear he shows just how much he realt loves her.
i disagree | Reviewer: jennifer
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
I would never want this to be my wedding song because it leaves too much doubt as to how you're supposed to feel on your wedding day because there will be people that will have a totally different out-take on this song. Yes i do agree a very beautifully written song but i personally believe it's mostly about a break up forsure and how "at someones best they wanna let the other person go" they wanna be clear headed and make the right decision so at the highest point where there is no doubting emotions thats when they are positive they want to let go....and lol i gave you away, how else to interprit that?
Both Sides | Reviewer: Christy
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
I respectively disagree with Josh H. for the simple fact that the song could, in fact, be positively interpreted. For instance,the line stating, "All the wrong things on fire" could symbolize the fact that as the couple lays in the dark, they are worrying about things that are unimportant. This could be anything from feeling too young, worrying about how the ceremony will go, etc. "Even at my best, I wanna let go" could stand for letting go of all responsibilities and worries and finding himself lost in love with his bride. When he says "Thought I'd lost you, I gave you away" could refer to a mistake the groom had made in the past by ending their relationship only to realize he made a huge mistake and she took him back. Likewise, saying he is jealous of how the moon moves the waves could represent the fact that the moon moves the waves every single night, and thinking back to his past mistake of abandoning her, he feels terrible. Saying that he wants to be somebody else and wants to thicken his skin could simply mean that he wishes to be somebody less nervous/anxious about the wedding. "Just wish it all away again" could mean he wants to wish away his doubts. Thus, I feel this song could most definitely be used as a wedding song. It all depends on how one interprets it.

------ About the song Come On Get Higher performed by Matt Nathanson
Well I already said it, didn't I? This is a song that just makes me happy. I love the lyrics, and the music itself is catchy in a good sort of way. It's fun, upbeat, and beautiful. It's the sort of song that makes you smile for no good reason, and love someone just because. ; )
Misinterpretation | Reviewer: Josh H.
------ About the song Wedding Dress performed by Matt Nathanson
It is true that this is a beautiful song, but I don't believe ANYONE would want to use it as a wedding song. It is NOT a nice, pretty song about how wonderful marriage is. It is a song about regret, about how the speaker is disillusioned with marriage and realizes that he made a mistake: the wrong things are on fire, he wants to let go, he feels that "ever after" (the rest of his life) is too long to spend with his bride, and he wishes he were someone else. No, this is not a happy wedding song...but that doesn't keep it from being exquisitely beautiful and incredibly poignant.
His music has opened my eyes about life. His lyrics say the words we xould never express, it's amazing. I love his music and his drive. I'm only 15, but his music really has given me a different view of musc and life. Love, Les(: <3
