matt nathanson

rocked my face off at the house of blues on friday night. I stood in one place for about 6 hours straight through. For those of you who know me well, you know that this was not an altogether easy task, but it was totally worth it. Think I may have gotten some hardcore eye contact at one point. The first opening act was Jamie Harris, she was AWESOME. Great vocals, fantastic lyrics. http://www.myspace.com/jaimeeharrismusic check it out. Next was Jesse Baylin, she was...mediocre at best. Then...Matty, oh matty. He was fantastic, hilarious, and everything I thought he was gonna be. However, there was an ever present elbow in my rib from a crowd monger that decided to have WAY too many people sneak up front with them. Oh well. I didn't let it ruin my night. And afterwards, we got to meet Matt, and he totally wore my pashmena. I almost left it on him, he made it look so much better. The night closed with a trip to IHOP and an episode of the office. It was pretty much the perfect day.

i leave you with some face-rocking matty nay lyrics:

You lead me, fit around my tongue
It's so easy, to forget that I'm lost
Spent all of my life, waiting for answers
To lift me, to numb me, to define it all

Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this

'Cause all I wanna be is the minute that you hold me in
When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for
Time slips to nothin' and I'm better than I've ever been
i'm suspended

You're breathing, filling up my lungs
I can almost believe that I'm almost enough
Spent all of my life empty of anthems
Bracing for something that never did come

Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this
Sunshine, I'm beginning to like it

'Cause all I wanna be is the minute that you hold me in
When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for
Time slips to nothin' and I'm better than I've ever been
i'm suspended

It's not enough to stay surrounded
It's not enough to stay awake,
Torn, and braced, cornered
And not feel alive
