I’ll never forget the first time I learned who Matt Maeson was. I was cleaning my bathroom and RUclips was blaring when I heard a song I immediately loved so I ran back to the room to see what it was. It was Dancing After Death and I was like okay cool this is the guy that sings Cringe and Go Easy. So I ended up spending my next 12 hours listening to every single song of his, absolutely mind blown that I couldn’t find a single one I didn’t like. It’s been 2 years and his music is still my refuge. It’s nice being a grown ass adult and having an artist you can like this much. Whenever he finally tours again, I’ll probably fuckin faint. Anyways, I waited for this song for days literally counting down the hours and of course it didn’t disappoint. Idk- there’s something really special about Matt Maeson! Can’t wait to see what comes next.
He is a spectacular musician, I am glad you discovered him because he is a diamond in the ruff. I discovered him (almost) the same way as you, I was playing a song on spotify to help me fall asleep and I woke up and realized I had left my phone on and the music was still playing I heard this song that was irresistible to my ears and felt to relatable, I am so glad I left spofify on auto play.
Omg that's how i felt when i discovered tøp nearly a decade ago!!! I'm just now discovering Matt, but already i can see very good things in his future 💜😉
For those saying we need an album from him: I think part of what makes each of his songs really incredible is that none of them are forced in order to fill out a certain number of tracks. They are all deeply personal and unique to exactly what he wants to process through at the time. Sure it may mean less music, but quality is always preferred over quantity.
I 100% agree with the aforementioned. Quality over quantity wins every time, and Matt's music is hands down, the best quality anyone can find on the internet. I swear, it seams like this dude sings my entire life story in every song. Maybe that's just the imagery he manifests through his lyrics, or maybe we've lived the same struggles and strife? Whatever it is, I'm glad there is a true artist out there that so many people can relate too. Matt is one artist that I hold close to myself and don't share with many friends or family because I don't want him to become too "mainstream", but at the same time I wish the entire world could enjoy his music right along with me. Hands down, one of the very few, true artists left in the world. 🤙
When we decide to have a relationship w God, he tells us it won't be easy. Just like our parents love for us, wanting to do the best we can in this life that's how God holds us in his heart. I was a drug addict for 7yrs. If it wasn't for God and Jesus I would be gone and never have this opportunity to speak this. I know those lines very well matt speaks.. but just bcuz things get hard or you have to look at yourself in a way you haven't before and doesn't mean you give up. DONT GIVE UP PLZ WHO EVER READS THIS.. GOD LOVES YOU DONT BE MISDIRECTED all love
@@brandennfinch you know , we say in islam that allah test the people who loves .. i dont know if you have the same concept in christianity or not ... but hardships are not always a bad thing , most of hardships are hoops that God wants us to go through , to grow up wiser and stronger ..its his way of saying , yeah i love you
Been trying for years haha. Just glad hes starting to gain a little more traction lately, seen some other friends on facebook and stuff post him finally this year.
@@Smogytho listen to “Feel Good”, “Mr. Rattlebone”, and “Me and My Friends Are Lonely”. That’s the Matt Maeson experience summarized, you get a little bit of everything. I 100% whole heartedly believe that “Feel Good” is his most underrated song. Hallucinogenics and Cringe are amazing too and then there’s this hidden Gem called “Melons” and listen closely to the chords and compare it to Cringe.
I just discovered him today thx to you tube suggestions! Marketing for musicians is pricey when starting out. There are so many undiscovered artists bc they don’t have the marketing budget to get known. I love the emotion and soul in his music.
Matt maeson is one of the greatest artists since Johnny Cash and should go down in history as such. If the Grammys were worth a shit he'd have won a hundred by now.
We all have our Nelsonwood lane. A place where it all began and where our soul wanders when we hit the bumps in the road. I don’t know if it ever gets easier, but I know through time and pain the lines of our ledger get darker.
I just realised! In the start of the video, inside of the bar, he talks about a time where his tire blew out and it was cold. Thats the video of ‘Put it on me’ he’s talking about!
He just.... he really is simply uncapable of putting a bad song into the world. They all find a way to touch your soul, even when you know you could never fully understand it. Matt said this song was for him. You can hear in his voice how personal it feels, how much emotion there is behind words (even though he always gives it all to all his songs). I was the kind of guy who never had a favorite song or a favorite artist, it was always something about "i really like this one thing right now". This all changed when I heard Bank On The Funeral, and specially when I heard Feel Good. It all felt so personal. It felt like something inside someone's heart (maybe my own) had been ripped out and manifested in the world, where it was given to me, so I could touch it and examine it. Thank you for being an artist, Matt Maeson. You're something special.
Okay but the melodies when he sings “I’m not the victim if I don’t take a stand” give me fucking goosebumps every time and I’ve listened to this song on repeat for a week. My goodness this song is unbelievably beautiful.

My childhood best friend passed away unexpectedly in February of this year. Your song "We Were The Same" has gotten me through it better than anything else has. Thank you for what you write, it's real and beautiful.
I lost my best friend of 22 years to a drug overdose in 2016 and I was shattered, still am for the most part. It’s not easy to come across friends like childhood friends. I hope your doing ok man and RIP for your best friend…..
I'll be honest. I accidentally found this song. I meant to click another song while at work and clicked this one instead. I've been listening to it for the last few hours. For some reason my soul feels so free. And i appreciate this song for that. Thank you.
I miss the good old days of just being free in country side young brave full of dreams and ambitions and without a single care in the entire world on how life would turn out
Where you belong is in heaven! We all make mistakes! Every mistake is different than the other! Pray to our father who is in heaven! You know hell is real Anyone who has eyes to see and ears to hear Knows your pain. Our God who is your God is a just God. Please pray. I love your music. I hate your pain. If our God does not answer with word's do not get discouraged its because he wants faith. The only lost sole is the sole who chooses to be lost.
Gotta say man, your music is tremendous for me. Had a lot of struggles in my life but I am proud to say I still find ways to smile. Presently it's my wife and daughter. When they are occupied with work or school I find myself listening to your music. My family and I are fighting through my stage 3 cancer right now. We'll come through it, but I wanted to thank you for doing what you do. Don't stop
My absolute favorite artist, his songs just touch my soul. His voice is beautiful and his story is even more crazy beautiful. How he isn’t number on the billboards blows my mind. Can’t wait to see him live in November
It still blows my mind that the entire world doesn’t know you... at least not yet. Your music has gotten me through the hardest time of my life, and I will forever be indebted to you for that. It’s crazy how someone who doesn’t even know you exists can mean so much to you. This song is just one of the many masterpieces you have created. It brought tears to my eyes, almost instantly! I would say I was shocked that I cried, but really, I knew that I would!
same here. I discovered him at a time I was going through my worst. everyday I used to listen to him to get him through that day. he doesn't even know how he is saving lives❤
i felt the blood in my veins at 4:00 it's so crazy how we can feel things so strongly, vibrating our minds and hearts. It's as if the gears start to turn
@@gracebergeron2076 It's amazing how people can share feelings but still have individual meanings. Each shiver tells a story. That's the power of music, inviting us to know more about us!
This guy is so special. Man I just love this guy and his ability to express such authenticity and passion in his music. "It always seems impossible until it is done."
I remember catching a small private show of his and hearing him talk about how he wrote Cliffy and the inspiration behind it. One of the few artists that’s put so many of my own feelings into words. Can’t wait for this album.
@@emiliam2279 A pump fake is a basketball move. The player fakes like he's going to shoot the ball but he doesn't. It's used to trick an opponent and throw them off guard. Salvation is a religious term that means to be saved or protected from harm. This song is about his deep struggle with God and religion. I think "Salvation with a pump fake" means he's felt tricked by God. Basically, God had the basketball (or salvation) and looked like he was about to pass it, but faked everyone out by never throwing it. 😆
love how this video starts with the hallucinogenics guitar riff, I literally think i've played it every day for the past year now. Matt has the most memorable melodies with lyrics that always strike a chord with being human - Not to mention his faultless voice, you can tell he means every word. I'd love to listen live, gutted that ur London gig last year got cancelled
You make music that hits the soul, and music that easily hits the mind; and I feel like a lot of music doesn’t do that anymore. It’s refreshing to see someone so deeply involved with their lyrics and music, I feel like audiences can relate more. I’m so, so glad I found Matt years ago, accidentally, when browsing through someone’s playlist🤍
@@laciarussell understandable! It’s different for me than it is for you. Try listening to songs on ‘The Hearse’ or ‘Bank on the funeral’, the normal version and the stripped version. Personally those two albums hit me in a way a lot of other music doesn’t.
@@laciarussell personally, my favourites are ‘Dancing after death’ (stripped version) ‘The hearse’ (stripped version) ‘Tribulation’ (stripped version) ‘Unconditional’ ‘Grave digger’ Give those a listen if you want!
This reminds me of a man I love , it's sad to see him hurting. I feel the same way he does right now. Abandoned by our entire family . They tell us that by helping us it means that we are not helping ourselves , that is the exact opposite of what healthy true love should be and it's them that ends up putting us in harm's way. This is what my story feels like right now. I am so grateful for this music for the realness of this video and the art behind it . All the world is watching no one is helping and they find entertainment and make money off of our misery. 💓💓💓💓💓 Sending my love to you Matt Maeson.
When I heard the line “Trantwood and a fat lip” I put together that Matt Maeson and I went to the same elementary school and he’s from my city. Loved him before and love him more now.
I just want to say wow. Once again it’s like you reached into my soul and pulled out a song. I’m 5 years 6 months and 8 days clean. And your music has really got me through some tough times in my sobriety. Please never stop making music. Your music is music that saves lives. Also a little side note, your music is the only thing that will put my youngest baby to sleep. Any of your songs and he’s out in seconds. So thank you for that as well. I hope to see you live one day to thank you in person. ❤️
I hope it’s abundantly clear to everyone the amount of talent and passion shown here. Let’s also be clear this song is NOT about denouncing your faith but strengthening it. I can assure you this man has a closer relationship with God than most would believe. Excellent work Matt
@@sammae4254 Yeah, not sure what the original commentator is saying. I see this song as the anthem of denouncing faith. "But I ain't no servant to a man dressed in politics" is pretty obviously about turning away from religion. I think it's a song about his personal deconstruction!
@@sammae4254 You’re half right. It’s an honest cry to God- basically a “My flesh doesn’t want all this. Salvation with a pump fake, and damnation at full sprint. I don’t follow any man with a green face or dressed in politics, so what’s left? I see you God as someone who is coming with a knife in your hands to kill my flesh, or a bag of demands on what you want from me. How can I want this? How then can I ever change?” And then the written message: “It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
im having a hard time matt and i think it might be my time soon, thank you for bring me this far, Every single night i will put you on on replay to make the time go quicker and just when i thought i needed to move on i just cant so ima end it with this playing in the backround
not now ofc in 2 months, i made a promise even if its insignificant it was to someone i kinda care about so ill stick with maybe something will happen to make me want to continue walking on this slave like planet.
Seeing you live was absolutely a dream come true. Your music has helped me through so many hardships. I know this song symbolizes you getting over yours and I'm ready to get over mine too now. Saw you by your bus on the way out in Dallas and really wish I would have said hi and told you this in person. I didn't want to be weird though. Just know your music has touched the lives of so many and I'm so inspired to do the same. Getting to sing these songs with you that I've listened to on repeat for years was an awesome experience. Keep singing your heart out Matt and congratulations on your new little family!
I had always thought he said " I was on my way to scrapin' up the cups" as in the residue of H left in a heated small bottle cap sized metal cup they give you at centers that supply you with clean needles, tourniquets, and cotton. My bad. Especially followed up by the line "had some stepped on shit, so I did me some". From a commonweath state. Safe practice ya'll. Matt, ya helped me get sober. You sang to my soul and helped healed it.
I went out today, to breathe the fresh air, hoping it'd make me feel alive. 3 days since I decided he was worth everything, including my search for new highs. I found a new song while rolling along, he said before the melody started "it sounds weird but, it felt like death was following me" and once those words wrapped around my throat, I saw a bumper sticker that said "you could die today," and maybe I could. I just know I don't want to sleep tonight now.
Your music speaks to the soul. This one is a bit enigmatic I have to admit, but I'm glad making this made you feel better. You got us through tough times with your music and we appreciate it. Keep it up matt!
Listening to Matt today, has stopped me from ending my life. I really didn't want to do it, I reached out for help, but Matts music helped more than anyone. It just brought my spirit back up a bit. You'll never know the help you've made with your music. Thank you!
Mate. Its a hell of a thing. Life and death seem so trivial to start or end. It takes only an instant. But every life that begins changes the world in its own small way. As does every death. We each exist in our own microcosm. And ending yours is never worth it. Theres always a better day somewhere around the corner. Love ya mate. Stay alive and find that better day.
My gosh the raw emotion in your voice is beautiful. This song, just like all your others, is stunning. And I saw that you made this in Texas, let's gooo.
Thank you for singing about "the gift of desperation" I truly think your music can save lives. I remember so vividly this being my life. 3 years sober now and the only reason I look back is because I need to remind myself how bad it was.
Lyrics: 80 miles in a puck truck I was on my way to scraping off the cuffs Had some stepped on shit, so I did me some You and I, we talked over toast Mmm, rediscussing everything we know, we know Then you got into my car and I drove you home Oh, salvation with a pump fake Oh, a fucking band is where I put my faith But I ain't no servant to a man with a green green face Trent wood and a fat lip Put on the cuffs and heard that Mike got bit A fucking copper wouldn't tell me anything Tidewater, I was comatose I swear I knew that guy that waved was just a choke So I quit another job and I hit the road Oh, damnation at a full sprint See I was never shown a way to handle this But I ain't no servant to a man dressed in politics I saw you coming with a gun your hands I can't want this, I can't want this I saw you coming with a bag of demands I can't want this, I can't want this I crawl to something with a life full of plans I'm not helpless, I'm not helpless I'm not the victim if I don't take a stand I can't want this, I can't want this I can't want this, I can't want this
This shit is killer. My best friend died in a drunk car accident a few years ago. I tried to give him a ride home, put him in my car and he got out over and over so I decided I couldn't change his mind... got a call 5 minutes later. He didn't make it a quarter mile. This shit reminds me of him. Man I miss you Cody. Beautiful song.
You helped me to want things again. And then I fell….. again, even further. Heroin is so dangerous.. I almost died the last few days. You give me a feeling to get out and get help. I just called a friend about a bed in a treatment center. I hope he calls back. Thank you for what your doing man.
Trying to die but only brave enough to razors edge it you know? Play with death . Till I didn't . I overdosed 4 times in a week. It was only when my nephew found me blued the fuck out flopped in the bathroom, sink running and overflowing, with the door locked of course with all my weight against it, that I woke up. My eyes were glossed over when they got there that time. Had a lot of pain I refused to let go of . If you ever wanna talk hit me up. Take care of this . You deserve it.
We don’t all have the same problems and relations. We don’t have the same face, body’s, and soul. One thing we can relate upon is the fact that we all live here on this planet. No matter what we believe in, we are all going through this life with happiness, sadness and then all of the other emotions that tie along with those feelings. Our meanings here are to influence others and yourselves to make a life worth living, a life you you can look back on and be happy the day we leave. Matt’s music has left an impact on my life since I’ve figured him out in 2017. Keep on creating masterpieces ❤️

@@R-Sin Recovering from treatment, still smiling. Thanks for asking
He opened for Zach Bryan last night. I’ve seen Chris Cornell in person. Matt Maeson is the truth.
Matt and Zach are the two most beautiful
The beard is looking nice! Love the song already. This man might have the most beautiful voice I've heard.
My absolute favorite artist, his songs just touch my soul. His voice is beautiful and his story is even more crazy beautiful. How he isn’t number on the billboards blows my mind. Can’t wait to see him live in November
Matt can‘t even disappoint
We truly don't deserve this man. If he knew how much his music does for me idk if he'd believe it.
I stayed up, all night, just to wait for the release of this - and I’m so glad I did 🤍
Oh boy, what did you do with this one Matt? I cried.
out of words.
I live for this man's next Faith crisis.🥺
It still blows my mind that the entire world doesn’t know you... at least not yet. Your music has gotten me through the hardest time of my life, and I will forever be indebted to you for that. It’s crazy how someone who doesn’t even know you exists can mean so much to you. This song is just one of the many masterpieces you have created. It brought tears to my eyes, almost instantly! I would say I was shocked that I cried, but really, I knew that I would!
same here. I discovered him at a time I was going through my worst. everyday I used to listen to him to get him through that day. he doesn't even know how he is saving lives❤
i felt the blood in my veins at 4:00
it's so crazy how we can feel things so strongly, vibrating our minds and hearts. It's as if the gears start to turn
I know this part is beautiful and I can actually feel it in my soul
@@gracebergeron2076 It's amazing how people can share feelings but still have individual meanings. Each shiver tells a story. That's the power of music, inviting us to know more about us!
The mark of a truly amazing artist is not skipping a single of their songs
every single song this man has put out is flawless
This guy is so special. Man I just love this guy and his ability to express such authenticity and passion in his music.
"It always seems impossible until it is done."
Love how this man's striving to keep art alive in music and cinematography, appreciate it!
I remember catching a small private show of his and hearing him talk about how he wrote Cliffy and the inspiration behind it. One of the few artists that’s put so many of my own feelings into words. Can’t wait for this album.
What was the inspiration?
"Salvation with a pump fake!" That's the line that reeled me in. Everything about this song is real and raw. Pure genius.
what does it mean?
@@emiliam2279 nothing
@@emiliam2279 A pump fake is a basketball move. The player fakes like he's going to shoot the ball but he doesn't. It's used to trick an opponent and throw them off guard. Salvation is a religious term that means to be saved or protected from harm. This song is about his deep struggle with God and religion. I think "Salvation with a pump fake" means he's felt tricked by God. Basically, God had the basketball (or salvation) and looked like he was about to pass it, but faked everyone out by never throwing it. 😆
How did we get so lucky, your an artpiece to the ears Matt. Your sound is so damn appriciated.
This song feels so raw. I mean, all of his music seems raw and straight from the soul, but in this one his voice sounds so fresh and real.
the background vocals in this are amazing
Matt did it again folks. Another masterpiece.
I just discovered you through dumb luck... or the RUclips algorithm..... either way, I am in love with your music!!! Please keep em coming.
Man. This guy fucking puts in work on the emotions in his songs. Love it.
best song i’ve heard in a while holy fuck, extremely underrated
love how this video starts with the hallucinogenics guitar riff, I literally think i've played it every day for the past year now. Matt has the most memorable melodies with lyrics that always strike a chord with being human - Not to mention his faultless voice, you can tell he means every word. I'd love to listen live, gutted that ur London gig last year got cancelled
You make music that hits the soul, and music that easily hits the mind; and I feel like a lot of music doesn’t do that anymore. It’s refreshing to see someone so deeply involved with their lyrics and music, I feel like audiences can relate more. I’m so, so glad I found Matt years ago, accidentally, when browsing through someone’s playlist🤍
Ahh yes this. Music that hits the soul.
This is the only song of his that speaks to the soul for me if anymore please lmk I've been looking
@@laciarussell understandable! It’s different for me than it is for you. Try listening to songs on ‘The Hearse’ or ‘Bank on the funeral’, the normal version and the stripped version. Personally those two albums hit me in a way a lot of other music doesn’t.
@@laciarussell personally, my favourites are
‘Dancing after death’ (stripped version)
‘The hearse’ (stripped version)
‘Tribulation’ (stripped version)
‘Unconditional’
‘Grave digger’
Give those a listen if you want!
I found him when I was tripping on acid looking for songs to listen to and came across hallucinogenics. Instantly became a huge fan
Listening to Matt maeson is like going to heaven for a while
always shoot from your hip, young man. we all luh dis ish.
This reminds me of a man I love , it's sad to see him hurting. I feel the same way he does right now. Abandoned by our entire family . They tell us that by helping us it means that we are not helping ourselves , that is the exact opposite of what healthy true love should be and it's them that ends up putting us in harm's way. This is what my story feels like right now. I am so grateful for this music for the realness of this video and the art behind it . All the world is watching no one is helping and they find entertainment and make money off of our misery. 💓💓💓💓💓 Sending my love to you Matt Maeson.
When I heard the line “Trantwood and a fat lip” I put together that Matt Maeson and I went to the same elementary school and he’s from my city. Loved him before and love him more now.
Still listen to this daily, holds so much weight to me.
It’s amazing how now matter what he puts out, how incredibly perfect each song is in their own unique way❤️
I'd definitely be down to jam my friend. Feeling like we have lived some of the same days. I'm glad you are here
I just want to say wow. Once again it’s like you reached into my soul and pulled out a song. I’m 5 years 6 months and 8 days clean. And your music has really got me through some tough times in my sobriety. Please never stop making music. Your music is music that saves lives. Also a little side note, your music is the only thing that will put my youngest baby to sleep. Any of your songs and he’s out in seconds. So thank you for that as well. I hope to see you live one day to thank you in person. ❤️
god this song is so good. Hearing it live in Edmonton the other night brought me back
How much his music has helped me through my life is un-measurable. Gives me something to hold on to, and I'm so glad I found him when I did
Matt Maeson needs to be bigger. This dude is amazing.
I hope it’s abundantly clear to everyone the amount of talent and passion shown here. Let’s also be clear this song is NOT about denouncing your faith but strengthening it. I can assure you this man has a closer relationship with God than most would believe. Excellent work Matt
Hey I know you posted this 7 months ago, but can you explain how this is not denouncing faith?
@@sammae4254 Yeah, not sure what the original commentator is saying. I see this song as the anthem of denouncing faith. "But I ain't no servant to a man dressed in politics" is pretty obviously about turning away from religion. I think it's a song about his personal deconstruction!
@@sammae4254 You’re half right. It’s an honest cry to God- basically a “My flesh doesn’t want all this. Salvation with a pump fake, and damnation at full sprint. I don’t follow any man with a green face or dressed in politics, so what’s left? I see you God as someone who is coming with a knife in your hands to kill my flesh, or a bag of demands on what you want from me. How can I want this? How then can I ever change?”
And then the written message:
“It always seems impossible until it’s done.”
truly the definition of an artist. Thank you matt.
why do the other songs end with notes to begin this song
im having a hard time matt and i think it might be my time soon, thank you for bring me this far, Every single night i will put you on on replay to make the time go quicker and just when i thought i needed to move on i just cant so ima end it with this playing in the backround
thank you.
not now ofc in 2 months, i made a promise even if its insignificant it was to someone i kinda care about so ill stick with maybe something will happen to make me want to continue walking on this slave like planet.
This man moves my soul!
Seeing you live was absolutely a dream come true. Your music has helped me through so many hardships. I know this song symbolizes you getting over yours and I'm ready to get over mine too now. Saw you by your bus on the way out in Dallas and really wish I would have said hi and told you this in person. I didn't want to be weird though. Just know your music has touched the lives of so many and I'm so inspired to do the same. Getting to sing these songs with you that I've listened to on repeat for years was an awesome experience. Keep singing your heart out Matt and congratulations on your new little family!
The way his music makes chills run down your spine. Your doing it Matt. We feel it.
I had always thought he said " I was on my way to scrapin' up the cups" as in the residue of H left in a heated small bottle cap sized metal cup they give you at centers that supply you with clean needles, tourniquets, and cotton. My bad. Especially followed up by the line "had some stepped on shit, so I did me some".
From a commonweath state. Safe practice ya'll. Matt, ya helped me get sober. You sang to my soul and helped healed it.
I went out today, to breathe the fresh air, hoping it'd make me feel alive. 3 days since I decided he was worth everything, including my search for new highs. I found a new song while rolling along, he said before the melody started "it sounds weird but, it felt like death was following me" and once those words wrapped around my throat, I saw a bumper sticker that said "you could die today," and maybe I could. I just know I don't want to sleep tonight now.
I love this song. It's even better in person, so if you haven't seen this guy in person then you need to.
💯💯💯💯💯💯 AMAZING LIVE! COULD NOT EXPECT ANYTHING ELSE
Your music speaks to the soul. This one is a bit enigmatic I have to admit, but I'm glad making this made you feel better. You got us through tough times with your music and we appreciate it. Keep it up matt!
It’s criminal he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves. The real ones were here long before TikTok
I started crying even before it started this told a story that I could connect too❤️
Death is always following us my friend just no telling when it will catch up. Good song 🔥🔥
Your songs literally saved me everyday when I was struggling through depression. Can't thank you enough. Lots of Love ❤
Most underrated artist. This is amaziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
Listening to Matt today, has stopped me from ending my life. I really didn't want to do it, I reached out for help, but Matts music helped more than anyone. It just brought my spirit back up a bit. You'll never know the help you've made with your music. Thank you!
I am glad you're here. Sending you love and good vibes from Louisiana, USA.
Mate. Its a hell of a thing. Life and death seem so trivial to start or end. It takes only an instant. But every life that begins changes the world in its own small way. As does every death. We each exist in our own microcosm. And ending yours is never worth it. Theres always a better day somewhere around the corner. Love ya mate. Stay alive and find that better day.
Im glad youre here too, greetings from southeast Missouri my friend, you are loved!
The most underrated artist in my opinion.
Musical genius.. every song is stellar.
"I was never shown a way how to handle this" damn man that line hits me so hard every time I listen to this
Absolutely wonderful Matt! Glad you wrote this about your time in our home town. Congrats my dude! This is gonna go blow up
Matt Maeson will be on all classic rock stations in 10 yrs, and fill in the void with Bob Dylan and others…
My gosh the raw emotion in your voice is beautiful. This song, just like all your others, is stunning.
And I saw that you made this in Texas, let's gooo.
Omg,,,, this connection,,, from blood runs red.. it brings me here
I'm trying to figure out if blood runs red is also about his faith
Gave me chills. You never cease to amaze me with your artistry and talent Matt. Looking forward to all the new music yet to come
This guy is the truest example of a insanely underrated music artiest
God dam! Matt really looks like he's been through some real heavy shit! I hope ur doing ok man. Keep making this powerful music and stay blessed.
Thank you for singing about "the gift of desperation" I truly think your music can save lives. I remember so vividly this being my life. 3 years sober now and the only reason I look back is because I need to remind myself how bad it was.
Lyrics:
80 miles in a puck truck
I was on my way to scraping off the cuffs
Had some stepped on shit, so I did me some
You and I, we talked over toast
Mmm, rediscussing everything we know, we know
Then you got into my car and I drove you home
Oh, salvation with a pump fake
Oh, a fucking band is where I put my faith
But I ain't no servant to a man with a green green face
Trent wood and a fat lip
Put on the cuffs and heard that Mike got bit
A fucking copper wouldn't tell me anything
Tidewater, I was comatose
I swear I knew that guy that waved was just a choke
So I quit another job and I hit the road
Oh, damnation at a full sprint
See I was never shown a way to handle this
But I ain't no servant to a man dressed in politics
I saw you coming with a gun your hands
I can't want this, I can't want this
I saw you coming with a bag of demands
I can't want this, I can't want this
I crawl to something with a life full of plans
I'm not helpless, I'm not helpless
I'm not the victim if I don't take a stand
I can't want this, I can't want this
I can't want this, I can't want this
Matt .. keep shining your light just keep shining and fuck the rest you got this bro
This shit is killer. My best friend died in a drunk car accident a few years ago. I tried to give him a ride home, put him in my car and he got out over and over so I decided I couldn't change his mind... got a call 5 minutes later. He didn't make it a quarter mile. This shit reminds me of him. Man I miss you Cody. Beautiful song.
My condolences for the loss of your friend
You are the reason why I believe music heals souls.
At 48 I'm not sure I'm your typical demographic but I'm a fan. So much feeling and talent. Also I'd like to read lyrics, please.
Maeson goes for the soul not age.
I'm about to be 42 in a few mths and i love all his music. Age is irrelevant in music.
Same here I wish the lyrics were posted somewhere in the comments
40 and I love him. He touched my soul. Pure raw emotion. Makes me smile and cry same time❤️
You helped me to want things again. And then I fell….. again, even further. Heroin is so dangerous.. I almost died the last few days. You give me a feeling to get out and get help. I just called a friend about a bed in a treatment center. I hope he calls back. Thank you for what your doing man.
Trying to die but only brave enough to razors edge it you know? Play with death . Till I didn't . I overdosed 4 times in a week. It was only when my nephew found me blued the fuck out flopped in the bathroom, sink running and overflowing, with the door locked of course with all my weight against it, that I woke up. My eyes were glossed over when they got there that time. Had a lot of pain I refused to let go of . If you ever wanna talk hit me up. Take care of this . You deserve it.
Hang in there. You're headed in the right direction . I been off heroin/ fent now for 6 months.
You doing alright brother?
absolute banger again
We don’t all have the same problems and relations. We don’t have the same face, body’s, and soul. One thing we can relate upon is the fact that we all live here on this planet.
No matter what we believe in, we are all going through this life with happiness, sadness and then all of the other emotions that tie along with those feelings. Our meanings here are to influence others and yourselves to make a life worth living, a life you you can look back on and be happy the day we leave.
Matt’s music has left an impact on my life since I’ve figured him out in 2017. Keep on creating masterpieces ❤️
