Cover art for The War Is Over lyrics by Matthew Good Band

This song seems to be about the end of the cold war, even though it was written 5 years afterwards. To me it's the best song he has, which has opposite connotations from songs like 'born to kill' or 'weapon'. This one is simple: the war is over, how do you feel? Too bad this type of song doesn't exist globally. When the war in Iraq ends (I sincerely hope it does) I'll be singing this song at the top of my lungs.

As for my personal use, this song is about reuniting with old friends, seeing how everyone is doing, how everyone has changed after a life changing event that all were witness to, like something after sept 11 where nothing will ever be the same.
