Matthew Good - Non Populus Lyrics






Well it says
Let it be unto you
They all say
Let it be unto you
A mistake of the heart
Let it be unto you
Gonna rip you apart
But let it be unto you
Let it be unto you

What you escape
Let it be done to you
What you take away

Let it be done to you
For what you war
Let it be done to you
What you ignore
Let it be done to you

Might have rubbed you the wrong way
But that's all over now
You know we could have stayed
Instead of crawling off into the wilderness
Hurled lightning down from the buildings
Done something different...

    THIS

  29. V.... ....

    U need that drummer back

  30. V.... ....

    I like this band better than the schleps he rolls with now

    V.... ....

    This comment seems kind of goofy since he still records and tours with most of the same people... and who the fuck is upvoting it?

  31. C.... ....

    Wow. Goose bumps throughout. What a performance.

  32. f.... 9....

    Hey Edge people, maybe turn the heat on or something so Matt and the band don't have to play with their parkas on ffs.
    Awesome performance as always.

    f.... 9....

    I think the fans are OUTside

    f.... 9....

    Yeah... I'm not sure if you realized they literally open up that side of the building for these types of shows and are actually outside.

  33. J.... D....

    This is such a phenomenal version.

  34. A.... I....

    I've seen him 7 times. some of the shows are the best I've ever seen and some are the worst. I believe it's a reflection of the heart put into this music. if he is feeling his songs and finds that place in his heart that inspired them his music can bring you to tears. when he plays the shows as a job it feels less personal then listening to a cd. I love Matt good and always will. I don't think every night you can expect a performance like this. when it happens it's magical. thank you for your music Matt. cheers

    A.... I....

    Anton Ihl sucks to catch a passionate genius on a bad night

  35. T.... P....

    Matt and the people he chooses to play with convey such raw emotion and feeling. This is what music is supposed to feel like.

  36. R.... C....

    Great live performance of an amazing song!

  37. W.... D....

    Total soul music !! The band and the music are a gift to the spirit of love and life ! Thank you !

  38. c.... l....

    he is very talented..been listening to him since 93.

  39. a.... ....

    i love matthew good

  40. R.... ....

    This is why Matt good and his band are amazing. Matty didn't perform this on his own. Great band.

  41. R.... S....

    Is it just me or does the drummer look like the former MGB drummer Ian Browne?

    R.... S....

    Yeah, its Ian.

  42. K.... O....

    It doesn't matter what camera angle they have, all members and the EDGE staff are totally engulfed, f'in (enter adjective)

  43. K.... D....

    da da.. da da.. da da... du!? Em7trh please!! It me! the boy who could explode!! Mr. hat is me too!! Shy!

  44. J.... J....

    His best song. No doubt.

    J.... J....

    So hard to pick just one! I hear a little bit of Champions of Nothing in it (another great one by him).

    If you want another deep epic like this, give a listen to Blue Skies Over Bad Lands. One of his best works!

  45. J.... J....

    His best song. No doubt.

  46. M.... ....

    good to know i worked the keyboard portion out by ear more or less correctly lol

  47. g.... ....

    This tune plays at the start AND at the end of each of my Matt Good listening sessions...so complex and raw at the same time...maybe my favourite live MG

  48. S.... D....

    So good

  49. D.... ....

    Song gives me goosebumps ever time.

  50. M.... ....

    So very good.

  51. J.... H....

    This guitarist is by far the best since Dave Genn

    J.... H....

    Don't get me wrong I loved original MGB but Matt's played with some amazing guitarists since Dave

    J.... H....

    Whoa whoa just hold the friggin phone dudes. Dave Genn was the best thing that ever happened to Matt. Dave Genn wasn't just a guitar player, he co produced with Livesey and made all those earlier songs so great. Yes, Matt was dealing with mental health issues but losing Genn was the beginning of the end. Dave tried to stay, but Matt burned that bridge. I'm surprised to see Ian back playing with him. Nice song though

    J.... H....

    I find that since Dave, both Stu and Johnny brought different things to the table for different songs. Ultimately, they're were/all are great guitarists.

  52. H.... ....

    Fantastic song already, but this live performance just sent chills down my spine, Good & the band just crippled my senses with that amazing performance !!!  

  53. I.... ....

    Fantastic.. x

  54. k.... ....

    Holy crap that was good.  Wow, just wow.

  55. E.... ....

    I can't believe there are 4 people not liking this.  I can't get enough of this song...

    E.... ....

    Probably fans of his early work. This is a good song, no doubt but he sort of changed his whole sound with Hospital music.

    I thought Vancouver was his wodst album with White light rock and roll but also Im happy Matt finally feels better in his personal life.

    Some of that same mystery of age and development is shared by most great bands and musicians. From the Rolling stones, U2 and Pearl Jam for examples.

    I think you peak, and then go to a different place. Maybe a person place, self refkection, personal growth, who knows but the sound changes.

  56. E.... T....

    I can't get enough of this song and Matt Good... I now live in Australia and I can't find anything else that will satisfy my urge for good music as much as Matt's music. Thank you Matthew Good for keeping me alive in Australia.

    E.... T....

    that statement about urge for good music is the exact description of what his music is all about. It's not for everyone probably, but for some it hits the deepest chambers of soul.

  57. J.... D....

    what year was this performance?

  58. J.... M....

    Matthew Good? his name shoud be Matthew Fuckin Awesome

    J.... M....

    Damned straight.

  59. s.... ....

    This is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard. Sheer bliss.

    s.... ....

    I saw the Avalanche tour. Hands down the best concert Ive seen to date.

  60. C.... R....

    Pure Bliss. All 9 minutes of pure bliss...

  61. D.... K....

    Goosebumps. Everytime

  62. T.... ....

    amazing! that is all

  63. M.... ....

    matt's dancing about is great fun

  64. B.... D....

    thats Ian Browne original MGB drummer.

    B.... D....

    I got to see him in Ottawa, the Deers opened for him at the NAC. Brilliant!

  65. C.... L....

    pure heaven...

  66. A.... ....

    yeah i saw that. it was actually pretty painful to watch. still a great show though

  67. I.... ....

    I didn't know mulder played the drums. :/

    Seriously, saw this live in Hamilto. Fantastic show.

  68. B.... ....

    Lights of endangered species is one of the best album's ever to come out of Vancouver, BC, Simply brilliant.

  69. S.... ....

    BRILLIANT!

  70. B.... ....

    Hey, fuck you.

    You hear me?

    FUCK YOU!

  71. A.... G....

    They bring the song to almost a stop and then rip it open again - so good

  72. M.... L....

    I miss Stewart Cameron. Matthew Good is amazing, but Cameron is what really made him fun to watch

  73. Y.... ....

    @KimJong69 you're

  74. M.... P....

    Nice comment Dong69 - only two months to get to the party. By the way, that's a badass handle you got there. Having 69 in your name implies that you are both a giver AND receiver. You must have been very popular in choir.

  75. l.... ....

    This song is epic!

  76. B.... W....

    Ugh. I saw this live when he came to our city in November, it was so haunting and beautiful it totally killed me. Was just so... moving.

  77. T.... H....

    @thatCanadiangrrrl The entire band had like a week to rehearse the majority of the songs for the tour! Impressive on all accounts!

  78. t.... ....

    DO ya all know that IAN had to learn EVERYTHING in just a couple of weeks before heading out on the CDN tour?! Such a talent! ...All of them of course :)

  79. C.... L....

    i fall in love with this song more and more every time i hear it...

  80. C.... R....

    Wow....just wow

    Makes me miss Bluesfest 2008 with Matt :)

  81. O.... ....

    Beautiful!!!!

  82. E.... D....

    saw this live in Victoria :) it was amazing!!!

  83. m.... ....

    amazing song, love the buildup at the end!

  84. I.... B....

    Obviously one person has no appreciation for good music. What a fantastic album - probably some of his best yet. Great live show with the current band.

  85. M.... A....

    SUCH an artist...i wish more people in the US would get a clue and listen to Matt Good...i've been a serious fan of Matt Good for years now he is just amazing

    M.... A....

    He doesn't want that. At the height of his career he turned away from that future.

    Nothing can take away from his greatness though.

  86. A.... M....

    The best part of this video in my opinion, is just how much fun the band is having playing.

  87. M.... L....

    This is amazing song, but they need Stewart Cameron back on lead guitar. He made the live performances.

  88. m.... ....

    Holy crap Matt?! Great song man but I love the guitar solo! Bring back the guitar. Killer sound.

  89. i.... ....

    perfect.

  90. M.... T....

    One word: Wow.

  91. M.... P....

    cool to see Tony's rigging up close. Also awesome seeing Matt and Ian working together again.

  92. l.... ....

    incredible live!

  93. W.... L....

    Very tasty performance.

  94. M.... N....

    the jam in this song is freaking amazing

  95. I.... I....

    vocals are so chilling. love matt voice.

  96. M.... C....

    Wonderful

  97. R.... S....

    Joel's looking pretty serious behind the board there, at least till near the end.
