Matchbox 20 - Unwell

Hi! I'm back!

After a long hiatus, I have surfaced from the depths of the Earth to take back my seat in this blogging world.

No, seriously, I have been absent for a while due to certain circumstances that could not be prevented. My grandma is in the hospital intensive care unit, and is still on her way to recovery.

Featured song: "Unwell" by Matchbox 20 [2002] (Pop rock)








The song may pertain to my grandmother being unwell. But this song means much more to me rather than its reflection on current events.

The song talks about a person who claims he is not crazy although he may seem to be. This is something that relates to me, since there have been various instances where people have dubbed me as crazy - not just as a joke but sometimes perhaps out of spite or incredulousity(?). Be that as it may, I know I am crazy... and as what Rob Thomas said in an interview, the song is basically for people who more or less are "f*cked up and feel alone like that. We all feel a little f*cked up sometimes ... you're not alone."

This song can be found in Matchbox 20's album "More Than You Think You Are," and it was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 2004.

Lyrics:

All day
Staring at the ceiling
Making friends with shadows on my wall
All night
Hearing voices telling me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for something
Hold on
I'm feeling like I'm headed for a
Breakdown
I don't know why
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Me
Talking to myself in public
Dodging glances on the train
I know
I know they've all been talking 'bout me
I can hear them whisper
And it makes me think there must be something wrong
With me
Out of all the hours thinking
Somehow
I've lost my mind
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I been talking in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're taking me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
Hey, how I used to be
How I used to be, yeah
Well I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
