crys, with the excitement of the AMAs and Jedward getting axed from X factor, I doesn’t seem like anyone (other than us two) is still watching this thread, which is sad because they could listen to “Whatever It Takes”.
I hadn’t really thought about the lyrics to “Gimme a Break”, but listened to it again after your note. He is basically saying that not everyone is going to like what he does, and he doesn’t have control over things, so he is just going to give himself a break. Do you think it is about his experience on Idol?
I love all of this music. It truly sounds like him. I don’t know where he goes from here, but as 3DoorsDownFan says, he is doing exactly what he said he wanted to do (make great music) and seems incredibly excited doing it. I am really happy for him.
Well, I hope they do come back & listen. It’s a great song!
I’m extremely happy for him. & I do think “Gimme a Break” is about his Idol experience re: knowing he’s good enough, but always being in the shadow of others. I totally understand what he was going through. & he put the story together, lyrically, really well.
“Is it always raining on me/seems everyone else is in the sunlight/
I’m gonna lift all the weight of the world upon my shoulders”
I love his story. & It was such an emotional rollercoaster being a fan of his on the show. I’m glad that’s all over now & we get to hear the real Matt. He’s such an excellent talent. I really hope he gets the respect he deserves in the music world.
BTW. FWIW Here’s something that’s posted on his fansite:

Thanks to both of you for these links.
Wow, I knew Matt was good, but these performances are amazing! He has such talent – I’m so happy for him. I definitely can see “I Miss You Tonight” on the radio as a hit. Congratulations to Matt!
I’m from the Philippines and a Huge fan of Matt G. I just like him…need I say more? His music is something I always crave and now that he has new singles, new songs personally co-written by him….priceless. I liked all his new song. I wish him best and I know, deep in my heart he will go far. Let’s just keep our faith.
