+ Wedding Dress So I have been having some discussions with people...do you think Wedding dress is a happy song or a Melancholy song? |

+ Wedding Dress when matt first started playing the song he said it was about divorce. I usually tend to believe him when he first starts playing the songs live. It seems like when he gets more comfortable about a song he starts to joke around about the meaning, sometimes is just hard to tell but I'm pretty sure this one is about divorce / "letting go" |

+ Wedding Dress Definitely, Derek. I think it's one of those songs that you write to kind of expunge some kind of pain and put it out there, and that when done correctly, as Matt does, invokes that feeling in others, creating a sense of empathy. It's a good coping mechanism. God, I've taken one too many film classes, I think. :o) But I think it's definitely sad. It's beautiful and melancholy and sad. |

+ Wedding Dress it's about the weight of marriage. "so we lie here in the dark...all the wrong things on fire...just to be with you, just to be with you." And as Derek pointed out, letting go. i think. atleast. |

+ Wedding Dress I agree...I was thinking it was more about loss and the marriage being over. |

+ Wedding Dress Since we're talking about it, I highly recommend downloading "Wedding Dress" from the recent Irving Plaza set. It's giving me chills just like it did live. So awesome. |
