engineerpaul I love this album because it loves me back. It reciprocates. Apparently, it is a love letter to Japan. But I think it speaks to me personally. I can't say anymore. This isn't going public is it? Oh Damn. I need my meds adjusted.
I will still love this record. I can't wait to roll my first legal joint on it. May all Matthew's records be this good or better. You were foolish or misfortunate to miss the LP release so buy the Digital Download and redeem yourself. Favorite track: Hear This.

  • Limited Edition 180 gsm Heavyweight Green Vinyl
    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Originally released on CD in Japan in 2003, as a love letter & thank you to his Japanese fans, now for the first time available in August 2019, on a Limited Edition Green Vinyl Glass Modern Long Playing Record.

    Recorded at home, produced, engineered & mixed by Matthew Sweet (bass, guirars & vocals) with the classic ‘Girlfriend’ era lineup of Ric Menck (drums), Greg Leisz (guitars) and the genius electric lead guitar of Television’s Richard Lloyd. The sleeve art is by renowned artist Yoshimoto Nara. In the liner notes, Sweet describes the album's title as an attempt at reverse English: "If I did it correctly, the title should seem a little strange or wrong, but still meaningful! The true definition is supposed to be a 'love you' life, one devoted to loving someone or something, even life itself!"

    “an excellent modern guitar pop album, filled with great hooks and harmonies and irresistible ringing six-strings” Allmusic

    “Kimi crackles with Girlfriend‘s energy, as Lloyd and Sweet’s guitars provide antagonistic foils as they did more than a decade before on cuts like “Tonight We Ride.” Rolling Stone
