Music Monday

I have decided that every Monday I would do a post on either an artist or a band I love. If you know me then you know I am obsessed with music. Every since I can remember I have been been singing and playing music, so for me music is my life.

Several months ago I came across this amazing song. I had never heard the song before but the lyrics totally got to me. The song is "Come on get Higher", and the Artist is Matt Nathanson. I can assure that it is not everyday I come across a singer song writer who can affect me like Matt's songs do. He is not only amazingly talented vocally, but his lyrically writing ability is very rare in our music world today. His latest album Some Mad Hope is on my I-pod, in my car, and on my computer at work. I absolutely love his voice and songs. If you have some free time you should really listen to a song or two. 

Here are the lyrics to my favorite Matt Nathanson song, "Suspended" which I have personally dedicated to the boy in my life. They say it all. Enjoy!

When you lead me
And fit around my tongue
It's so easy, to forget that I'm lost
Spent all of my life
Waiting for something
To lift me, to numb me, to define it all

Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this

Cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in
When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for
Time slips to nothing and I'm better than I've ever been
I'm suspended

With your breathing, filling up my lungs
I can almost believe that I'm almost enough
Spent all of my life emptied of anthems
And bracing for something that never did come

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

Cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in
When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for
Time slips to nothing 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, braced, cornered
And not feel alive
