Ever Wonder Where Songs Come From?


Tunes like matchbox twenty’s song “How Far We’ve Come” have to come from somewhere. Guitarist Paul Doucette said their track all started with one phrase that wouldn’t leave the band members’ heads “‘Let's See How Far We’ve Come’ came first and we were just like, what is that? What are we going to do with this? And we worked backwards from there.” So, after all the backwards work the band was left with the single “How Far We’ve Come.”

Matchbox Twenty frontman Rob Thomas on what the finished product is about. “Well, it is a fun upbeat song about the world ending.” Matchbox twenty’s new album Exile on Mainstream is in stores now.
