| Matthew Good – Empty's Theme Park Lyrics
| 7 years ago
|
The brilliance of this man with his lyrics is pretty much only superseded by his ability to both open and close an album. The lyrics - they are what they are. We'll never really know what he was thinking about while writing / singing - but we don't need to. He's telling a story, and that story is about how he makes you feel. I don't interpret this song as literally as about a homeless person... But likewise, I feel, I hear, I *live* his state of mind every time I hear this song.
But that ending. This man knows how to put punctuation at the end of an album. "House of Smoke and Mirrors" at the end of Avalanche was a "…"; to be honest, I thought that was going to prove to be his last album. I thought he was going to quit, or Quit. But "Empty's Theme Park" ends with a definitive "."
Whatever this was, whatever he felt, whatever part of his life this song was about...
... he left it behind on that last note. |

Does anyone else get chills from sheer love and devotion that Theresa showed him? Yes, I know she's a fictionalized version, but damn it, this probably the most intense love story I've ever heard. And it's made even more intense by the fact that - at the end of the day in life, as in this story - he chose to echo through time... My sincere respect to TSO for making me understand Beethoven in a way that I never had before. |

I've always thought this was the first song of musical story that he had. The first song is him having tracked down the men who murdered his girlfriend and the whole story ends at the end of his second album, Underdogs with "Change of Season". |
