“I’m not successful enough to be sued by people who i rip off songs from, and its a goal of mine. I want to get just successful enough that Rick Springfield comes after me with his lawyers for this song that sounds exactly like Jesse’s girl. when you start to hear this song, it will change your insides, your nipples may get hard and thats not me… That’s Rick Springfield working through me. shooting his magical dust at you.”

“This song is about when you lock yourself in a room with someone and just play scrabble for 3 whole days because it feels so good you want to do some slap and tickle. However, this song is normally a duet, like scrabble, so instead this is more like a really intense game of solitaire”

This year, all but disappeared,  bought into fairy tales,  But sleeping beauty just kept score and tried to sleep more She said “I’m not quite, myself tonight,  But the way you touch me, oh, makes me tongue tied,  That could be the wine too.” Kiss Quick, I’ve got a line out the door Who all think they can save me. One by one they lay the world at my feet,  One by one they drive me crazy.

Kiss Quick - Matt Nathanson

“This is a song I wrote in my youth. I’m older now, but just as angry.”
