it was originally released in the pre brushfire records version of the album "songs we sing" before that it was released in a music compilation before matt was signed to a major label. the song was dropped from the tracklisting to songs we sing when he joined brushfire because it didnt fit the rest of the album. i think the japanese or brazilian itunes version of songs we sing included "desires only fling". i cant remember which.
Great stuff. Had the pleasure to sit next to Matt on a flight to SFO about 2 years ago when he was going to see his wife graduate. I asked if he was the main event, and he just laughed, as said he was just going as a husband. Like most everything I've heard from Matt. A real unrecognized gem.
This song has great lyrics. Wish he did more stuff like this. Luckily I have the original pressing of Songs We Sing that has this song. Don’t know why the hell they would remove it as it’s his best song.
Saw matt in philly a few weeks ago and he Snuck to the front of the tla to talk to my 14 yr old daughter who adores him. Heck of a guy talked to us for about 20 minutes.
Matt, I sincerely love this song, and genuinely wish I could figure out how to buy it from you. But I can't. So I guess I'm going to have to figure something else out for now.
