Church Clothes Lyrics

Cover art for Church Clothes lyrics by Matt Nathanson

The thing with MN is that he has a few songs that talk about how difficult it was for him to deal with fame, or at least – the hypocrisy of the music business, or so I think. The question is if he was ever VERY famous, as in, gone-to-my-head-can’t-deal-with-it-famous? Or is he just very sensitive to this? I mean, he’s stardom material, that’s for sure, but he still keeps his shows intimate, and his songs on a small scale, just wondering why. This song, I think, has a lot to do with it, how he can’t handle the inconvenience of being in the spot light, even though he thought he was born for that.
