Sidney Matthew Sweet (born October 6, 1964) is an American rock singer-songwriter and musician. He was part of the burgeoning Athens, Georgia, music scene in the early and mid-1980s before gaining commercial success during the early 1990s. He continues to tour, and his most recent studio album, Modern Art, was released in 2011.
In 1980, while attending Southeast High School in Lincoln, Nebraska, Sweet, having written and recorded songs on four-track cassettes, and having joined the band The Specs, released his first recording on a battle of bands LP produced by a local radio station, and fronted his own local band called The Dialtones. After graduating in 1983, Sweet travelled to Athens, Georgia to attend college during the vibrant Athens music scene. That same year, Sweet, who had met the band R.E.M. when they played a show in his hometown the previous year, collaborated with frontman Michael Stipe in a duo group under the name Community Trolls, as well as played guitar in Stipe's sister Lynda Stipe's band, Oh-OK. In addition, he formed another duo, The Buzz of Delight, with Oh-OK drummer David Pierce, releasing an EP, Sound Castles, in 1984 on DB Records. On the strength of this 12" vinyl, Sweet was signed to a solo recording contract with Columbia Records.

[Stereo feed] Blistering guitar from the late, great Robert Quine is featured on the first song, as well as a tight rhythm section, featuring Sara Lee on bass. These two musicians feature on some great recordings over the years, and this appearance is one of many by Mr. Sweet and his special supporting casts at this point in his career, IMO.

The ensuing years have seen Sweet continue to record critically acclaimed albums, but the 20th anniversary of his landmark 1991 release gave him reason to look back. At the beginning of a tour to commemorate this milestone, Matthew Sweet stopp...

you come looking for protection
a revolver in your hand
and that puts it in a language
that I think I understand
don't need to concentrate
to push it through
you know you've sent it
'cause I'm coming back to you
anybody with a brain will tell you
that you cannot win
but just ask the brainless wonder
living underneath my skin
I'll tell you anything
but what is true
no sense in giving in
I'm coming back to you
back to you
anybody with a brain will tell you
that you cannot win
but just ask the brainless wonder
living underneath my skin
I'll tell you anything
but what is true
no sense in giving in
I'm coming back to you
