I just heard this for the first time (I know, I'm ridiculously late). I LOVE IT. Sucks that I got into it as soon as it started going down.

Who thinks this will achieve recurrency? I think it's possible, I would like it to, but realistically I don't think it'll quite make it.

Z100 re-added this! :o
Do you think that will stabilize it, or is it too late?

LOL I love how z100 advertises this as "new music" when it's like a year old and they played it 2 months ago...

Happened with "Halo" and "The Climb" earlier this year. Both managed to resurface.

Yeah I think Z100 originally canned Halo, The Climb, and Come On Get Higher when that CBS station was launched...really hopin this can give Matt a slight boost into the high teens (Prob. is some stations have been playin it since late last summer, so the timing just isn't workin for a high peak...hopin for a big longevity thing though)

LMAO I love wikipedia:
The song is about his sexual experiences with the love of his life. "Come On Get Higher" refers to the feelings he has with a woman while having sex. Most people are left to assume he is referring to his wife Bridget. However, only Nathanson and Mark Weinberg, who co-wrote the song, know its true meaning.
In one line of the song, Nathanson says "I see angels and devils and God when you come", but he backs it up with "come on" so that people do not notice the sexual content. This is typical of Nathanson, who is known for his sense of humor.

^I actually thought it was about him bein physically separated from his lover (or wife), and fantasizing about them sleepin together right then (i. e. I Miss The Sound Of Your Voice...The Loudest Thing In My Head...something about Remembering all the Violent/Sweet Perfect Words That You Said - If I Could Walk On Water...Make You Believe...etc.)
BTW anyone that doesn't pick up on the "God when you come on..." thing has gotta have their head examined lol

And I am all about sexual references in songs, I can't believe I missed this one. I guess I am too used to more overt ones.

So it's down 9 spins in 4 days, including a 12-spin gain yesterday. Not bad IMO.

They either keep growing or stop halfway there in this day and age. The Climb and I'm Yours had these type of runs too, but they eventually hit Top 10.

It's great to see that this is 5 weeks away from going recurrent. I think with a rather steady loss of spins (well still hoping it makes a turn around), it can make it to recurrent-dom. But COME ON, this has to GET HIGHER in the charts.
