"I'm a boat on the ocean/I'm just a ship lost at sea" is quite possibly the emotional peek of Matt's voice. This song is absolutely amazing, and without a doubt comes out in the top 3 songs on the CD. Avalanche as a whole is simply brilliant, and I would go as far to call it Matt's life work, and one of the greatest milestones in Canadian music.
Lauren stated above the main inspiration behind the song. Nearing the end of the Matthew Good Band era, Matt could nolonger be what the band demanded of him, he didn't want to be an actor or worse a marionette, per se, who's strings are pulled by contractors and the image hungry public. The bands separation led to his independant career where it seems he could be himself. This song pertains to this change in life, and how the change effected and broadened his view of the world. His transition from Matthew Good of the Matthew Good Band.. To just Matthew Good.
