I am so grateful for RUclips. Even though I am not far from Canada, being a Minnesotan, I never until tonight heard of Matthew Good and that has to be punishable by law somewhere, musically speaking ! lol ... But seriously, it is only because I was researching/cross-referencing artists who struggle with bipolar that I am introduced to this MASSIVE talent named Matthew Good and now, I am forever blessed. Not only by his music, but his persona. I watched some interviews as well. Thank you, Canada.
If there ever was a brilliant singer / songwriter / bandleader, then it´s Matthew Good! No matter if solo or with the band - simply brilliant! What an album! What a song!
The tears are streaming down my face right now cause this song means a lot to me, hence, like a millions of us, I'm struggling with anxiety issues since my mid-twenties, I just want to say that you/we/I/us are not alone and never will. There's always a brighter side or a way to learn something out of the worst moment we have to deal with every given day. Please seek or ask for help during the rainny days, cause it worth's. LIFE WORTH IT. Shall we bless everyone single one of you!
Matthew Good is the greatest Canadian artist of all time. I know that is a pretty bold statement, but I think you can't deny his talent is as good as it gets. Matt Good Forever!!!
I can't believe Matt played this at the show tonight here in Winnipeg. This song meant so much to a much younger me. I never expected I'd hear it played live, especially all these years later
What a perfect ending to the album, the song title and the music match up perfectly. Like stumbling home in the pouring rain in the early morning hours after a sleepless night.
When I was in my late teens, my friend harbored her runaway friend. She left because her step-father was abusing her and her mother was ignoring it. She said she had to leave or she'd end up killing him. Jenni's Song song came out right around that same time, and it was like an anthem for us.
Canadian artist not promoted outside Canada but some college stations did have this genre music, 23 years of masterpieces after another 50 songs and should be in the rock in roll hall of fame.
It's depressing to you? As someone who had been suicidal since grade 6....just listening to this album at the library because I'm almost as old as the album.......i listened to the album and I was going to jump off the buildings of the most trafficked through way....its fucked someone or something stopped me and I am still here(D and R in London Ontario were I was just like yep
I'm done i hope my death is a political statement or art that people have to think about...provocative I guess was the word I was looking for....aaaaaand its easily 2 decades after the fact and im still here....i don't know why...its something I take one day at a time
The most depressing songs are the best ones. Human emotion in lyrical motion. Brilliant bliss. I just hope that we're all in a happier place, rather than not. Oo too all.
How could you pound the album in the late 90's when it was released in 1999? thats like saying I partied all night, starting at 11:30pm So, you pounded it for a few months of 1 year?
This song was originally called Sunup on the First release of Beautiful Midnight in Canada. I was in one of my most manic episodes that lasted for a couple months when I bought this album and thank god for that because I was able to see that there are people that I can identify with that I'm not so alone
Not bold at all. The guy is a musical genius and leaves his heart and pain in every song. Lyrically the guy is just way ahead of his time and he's an amazing musician too.. Most music is hollow only has to be catchy. Matt makes the music he want's to make to convey his own opinions.. How many artists or bands can even say that??
It's funny how this is a song that was never meant to be. I saw Matt Good during an acoustic tour and he talked about how the record company wanted/needed one more song for the album and Matt was like "screw that", but he complied and wrote this at first as a shot at the music industry and the record label. This is the result... Perfect matt Good...
They beam things into your head the ghosts of your pleasure and contempt when we were liars things were seamless when we were wired the world was like a secret i close my eyes now and i scream i turn the light on and there's nothing left redeeming i saw your face before it changed the gun it makes you look nicer in a bad way so low for how high? well it's too late tonight and i'm sure you're right so low for how high
and after this there's just the circus and every morning you carnie heart stops workin it gets tight in there sometimes looking for the defects, talking like it's a reflex i close my mouth now and i scream i open the door and there's nothing left redeeming i saw your face before the rough you should wait around awhile cause your body's bound to turn up so low for how high? well it's too late tonight and i'm sure you're right so low for how high
Out into the public I once again go with my sledge hammer and the sense of entitlement... Sarah Weaver was right, the sound of breaking glass can be quite harm on e o u.s. :) don't forget to vote for black Santa :D

Best album Matthew Good ever made, the whole album is amazing, I had to get use to Jenni's song when I first bought the cd, but love it now!
