Soundtrack To My Upsidedown Life

Sometimes song writers touch a nerve that perfectly sum up what’s happening to their audience…now I know that I’m not who Matt Pond is writing about…I get that.  I get that his “saturday night” that he’s talking about is totally different than mine that I’m meaning…but still…for some reason I can’t shake the fact that this song is about me in this moment–perfectly tuned to my little feelings in my little world. Check it out.

Went to where the people were on a saturday night
seems like it always seems
where i go i want to leave
i thought we were doing fine with our lives
there are people who will tell you
there is always something better

if you don’t know or care you’ll be alright
i heard it’s modern to be stupid
you don’t need to talk to look good

i surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
there is nothing left of my nerves
as i lean over to ask her

pardon the intrusion
could we leave before it gets bad
i might smash up all these windows
and set fire to the curtains
until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange

if you don’t know or care you’ll be alright
i heard it’s modern to be stupid
you don’t need a thought to look good

pardon the intrusion
could we leave before it gets bad
i might smash up all the windows
and set fire to the curtains

went to where the people were on a saturday night
seems like it always seems
where i go i want to leave
i surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
there is nothing left of my nerves
as i lean over to ask her

pardon the intrusion
could we leave before it gets bad
i might smash up all the windows
and set fire to the curtains

until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange

Anyhow…thanks Matt Pond PA for providing to the soundtrack to the theory of my upside down life.
