Good, Matthew - Los Alamos Lyrics






I can hear your heart beat on the other side of town
the windows shake and the windbreaks they rattle around
stand in the yard my whole card flipped up in a cloud
now I can see your heart beat on the other side of town

If you’re coming with me, come with me now
no more, no less, no faith to test, no asking how
across the sea there’s a part of me that’s captured in a cloud
now I just hear your heart beat on the other side of town

I can hear your heart beat on the other side of town
lay in bed and pound my head, try and drown it out
used to be a part of me that never thought to doubt
now I just hear your heart beat on the other side of town

Good, Matthew Los Alamos Comments
  1. M.... t....

    Man... Matthew Good has been a constant in my life since I was a kid in the 90s. All these years later, still rattles my emotions with his music. True Canadian treasure.

    "Lay in bed, and pound my head, try and drown it out.
    Used to be a part of me that never thought to doubt." How can you not feel that??

    Interestingly enough if you really read the lyrics and know your history this song could be his take singing about the A bomb. Los Alamos is where the Manhattan Project kicked off.

    @JourneyofSound - That's actually pretty brilliant! Thanks for sharing it!

    Amazed not one single person has mentioned that's Vancouver in the photo!

    Figured it would be little nod to Matt's old stomping ground. I'm from the States but I grew up on the Canadian Border. I've spent many good times and memories in Canada. 🙂

    Amazing/Haunting/Beautiful

    I can hear your heartbeat too Matthew Good. You saved my life.

  5. P.... M....

    Magnificent desolation.

    Similar to middle class gangsters. Good is a great thinker in these songs. Brilliant!

    Having just broken up with my girlfriend, this song has given me hope. It captures how I feel right now.

    Hope things have gotten better. Keep your head up, keep moving on, because you know everything else will pass you by if don't...

    MG is notorious for dark closers (Think Empty's) this is no exception. Brilliant EVERYTHING! Such a pensive feel to it. Best Full length I have heard from ANYONE in quite a while. Got it factory-sealed from my wife for Christmas for less than 7USD. Score! Be well, and much love for our tortured Mr. Good😉

    Kim gets Silver Los Alamos gets Gold!

    Beautiful...so haunting. I love it more every time I listen to it. My favorite artist for about 20 years and this is the kind of song that reminds me why !

  11. j.... ....

    For the first time in my 63 years my favorite artist is a Canadian. Brilliant album. Matt is totally underrated on the world stage.

  12. v.... ....

    The first time I heard this song was live at one of his shows in November. At the time I had just broken up with my boyfriend, who lives on the other side of town... Took all I had to not burst into tears right then and there. Fucking feels, man.

  13. j.... s....

    This man can do no wrong. Don't ever stop making music brother. ✌️

  14. S.... S....

    I just love his dark, romantic style...this is the definition of true Matt Good music.

  15. S.... M....
