matt on what this song is about: "I had this sad, almost funny conversation with my mum a while back about breaking up with an ex-girlfriend, I'd known it had really affected her, and in her mind it was almost like a member of the family was just disappearing overnight. I realised more than ever the similarity between my own experience of heartache and hers. Just like you, they lose someone without choosing to lose someone, and they have even less agency than you do in the process." "I remember comforting her at the end of the conversation with a line I'd been told myself years before about the same relationship - “you'll learn to love again," I said - and both of us kind of laughed. You always feel like you're the main one hurting in a break-up, but relationships can form these webs that intertwine the people around you into them, and that's a lot of change and grief for everyone. And a lot of sad, almost funny conversations."
A dear family friend of mine recently went through a very sad and very emotional break-up, and it's left her in a bit of a state. She is still suffering, and we are all sad for her and hurting with her, as she was the driving force of positivity in a lot of our lives. Seeing her that way and knowing she's hurting is hurting us all in equal turn, and I feel this story really sums up those feelings rather well. The intertwining webs of grief really make us all feel caught up in a seemingly isolated event, which unexpectedly echoes through others and others like ripples on water. I sent her this song yesterday and, like Matt, told her that she will learn to love again.
Beautiful, sensitive Matt acknowledging that mothers also experience a loss when their son’s relationship ends. The pain we feel we keep to ourselves so that our sons can heal. Huge lump in my throat.
Agreed. Sometimes I like privately listening to Matt's poetic wonders. I'd love to see him get more recognition. It was super sad how this one girl did a cover of his biggest hit and got ten times more views.
I know lots of people say this about their favorite artists. But I think we are truly blessed to have Matt and that he is truly one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time. There’s only a handful of songs that have ever made me cry and over half of them are by him. And he’s done it again. God Bless Matt Maltese, can’t wait to see you in the States!
I hope this is a song out of love for your mother, and that you're not creating it because something happened to her, i love your music and you deserve to know that it makes everybody really grateful and happy for you.
Just my interpretation from the lyrics. But I don’t think this is about anything bad happening to his mom. My takeaway is that it’s a song about a relationship ending where the girlfriend was close with his mother, the daughter she never had. It’s about the loss that is experienced when relationships end, not just between the people directly involved but their friends and family as well.
@@abrahamlincoln86 I posted this before the song got released, but during the premiere, Matthew said that this song was about her mother that broke up with someone she loved.
I don’t wanna make a big scene I just need a moment lying on this street If your lungs stop you die If you lose love that’s life What a blue sky All my friends they miss you alot I know your father probably hates my guts When a lover cuts ties Other people get caught In the crossfire And yesterday I told my mother You'll learn to love again I know she was the daughter You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her But I know the years can heal and if there is another Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her Tuesday with your wet hair in curls Wearing pajamas in the outside world Couldn't look in your eyes Then you got in your car and started to drive And yesterday I told my mother You'll learn to love again I know she was the daughter You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her But I know the years can heal and if there is another Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her And tomorrow I say mother You'll learn to love again I know you want to write her You'd never thought you'd grow a blood bond to another You didn't birth but that's the joy of human nature Some people stumble into your heart for all time
this song is truly so lovely and appealing to me, though i could not relate to it when it first came out. just yesterday, my brother broke up with his girlfriend of 3 years, and i was in the car with my mother when she found out. when she called my brother, they were both crying. the girlfriend was like a second daughter to our mom, and my entire family loved her. this song was released at the perfect time, thank you matt for sharing this intimate moment in such a beautiful form. the way you write makes listeners feel like they are watching a movie, you are such an amazing writer and artist altogether.
I love my mother, she is the most important woman in my life, this music is enough to dedicate to her, also it cannot be denied that this is one of the best music of matt, do not stop uploading more music.
I was a bit confused about the lyrics first time listening to the song. But the more times I listen to it, the more beautiful the lyrics get. It's such a masterpiece, expressing emotions in such creative ways 😭
Hey, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but I know you love Matt too so maybe there’s a chance you’ll stumble upon this little comment. I’m crying tonight, as i have been thinking about your mothers and how the love they gave me in these short three years has really changed me. How grateful I am for that little glimpse of family. It’s hard to say goodbye, and now I am alone again, motherless again. I know cutting ties with you means elongating the ties with them because I can’t be selfish to keep them around as you deserve your space to heal too. I want to write them, and I do sometimes. I send the first and last sentences sometimes, but most of the times I just keep it for myself. But it helps me a lot. There are a lot of other motherless kids in the world, and I am lucky as I know how rare it is to ever form that kind of relationship without a blood bound. That’s why ending it felt like hell. But it’s okay. I will be okay and I will move on my the heartbreak of you, and of losing them too. You take care of your mothers, okay? And while you’re still here, tell them I am always eternally grateful of the encounter, tell them I love them. And I love you too. Take care V. Godspeed.
Matt … another beautiful and meaningful song … you really know how to make me cry when “I feel nothing at all” and everything at once. I hope you’re well … always 🦋
one of the most beautiful and sensitive songs I've ever been able to immerse myself in. I had never stopped to think about what the song says and it is so real
This is such a gorgeous song, I love that it covers a topic that's never really talked about, it looks at heartbreak from a really interesting perspective!
This song makes me want to sit and cry my heart out, but I’m sitting here listening to this song over and over in silence, while accepting my loneliness the live gave me
I interpret this as speaking to himself vicariously through his mother. "maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her" could be what he's trying to believe for himself, and convincing his mother to believe it too will validate him, and give him hope
i can't explain in words how much i love matt's songs. his songs always make me experience feelings i never knew i could feel. his songs help me a lot when i feel empty and helped me get through tough times. thank you matt for making music
i couldn’t be more grateful that i got to know your music matthew. i feel it so much, so much. different music makes me feel different things, and yours make me feel something so very special. thank you so much, i keep those songs in my heart so tight. i love this. this is out there in the world and it’s so beautiful and precious. this is what makes me love people, while i also hate them. this is gentle, sensitive. i can’t. i love this.
amo mucho tus canciones, tu voz matthew :( desde que te conocí hace 3 años no puedo dejar de escucharte, te haz convertido en mi artista favorito, estoy muy agradecido por todo el arte que nos das, sanas mi corazón.
I've been listening to this on amazon music, so i've never actually commented yet. But this is one of my favourite Matt Maltese (and tbh overall) songs. There is something so hypnotizing about listening to these lyrics, like poetry. But especially the way the words used to comfort your mother, sounds instead like you are trying to comfort yourself.
Im not sure why i avoided this song for a while, but when i listened to this song this mother's day something snapped in me that made me feel i wanna go back to my mother and just tell her im sorry. And especially that line from the start "I dont wanna make a big scene, I just need a moment lying on the street" It was like a song was waiting for me to be listened and tell me "i feel you too"
My brother got a divorce. My mom has me, but after knowing my sister-in-law from age 16 to 30, I know it hurt like losing a daughter. I love that he writes music for not just his own feelings, but the ones of those you don't think of.
Dear Matt, you deserve more recognition! Thank you sooo much for this incredible lyrics and music. I can relate to this on a personal level. And still here 'Like the greatest actor, acting like the world is not breaking up and slowly dying '
This song tells the story of heartbreak in another light, that may never be mentioned before. I love it so much because I totally can relate to it. We're people that caught in the crossfire and we're easily hurt too when a romantic relationship of someone close to us ended.
i love you so much matt. your mysic means so much for me. the lyrics, melody, music videos, etc. u are the voice i cant speak. u really are my life saver in music 🤍🤍
I went to school with him! I hear him sing in a hallway one afternoon after soccer practice. Glad to see him pursue his passion for singing
he played soccer?😲
Damn he went to school with Jesus
DUDE YOURE SOOOOO LUCKYYYY
HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL WITH JESUS HIMSELF
he's from Reading.. why would you call it soccer?

😢 I never even considered it, gonna go hug my mom

Beautiful way with wording ♥️
@@jonathanhost you go king 👑
With songs like these, it's a great wonder how Matt doesn't have more recognition
Agreed. Sometimes I like privately listening to Matt's poetic wonders. I'd love to see him get more recognition. It was super sad how this one girl did a cover of his biggest hit and got ten times more views.
As the world caves in is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard! He’s an amazing songwriter.
@@ujika8164 I know right? at least that one girl brought some more attention to people who wanted to know how beautiful the song sounded before
@@tina127 Yess. That is a good silverlining right there. You made a good point.
@@ujika8164which song and person did that ?

I don’t wanna make a big scene
I just need a moment lying on this street
If your lungs stop you die
If you lose love that’s life
What a blue sky
All my friends they miss you alot
I know your father probably hates my guts
When a lover cuts ties
Other people get caught
In the crossfire
And yesterday I told my mother
You'll learn to love again I know she was the daughter
You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her
But I know the years can heal and if there is another
Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her
Tuesday with your wet hair in curls
Wearing pajamas in the outside world
Couldn't look in your eyes
Then you got in your car and started to drive
And yesterday I told my mother
You'll learn to love again I know she was the daughter
You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her
But I know the years can heal and if there is another
Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her
And tomorrow I say mother
You'll learn to love again I know you want to write her
You'd never thought you'd grow a blood bond to another
You didn't birth but that's the joy of human nature
Some people stumble into your heart for all time
legend
love you champ
@@chicanabatman Matt Maltese fans are the best, thank you for the appreciation 💕
It's literally in the description lol
@@vitorgabrielgomesrodrigues Not when the video first posted, the description was cut off halfway through
I have no words to put for how much I adore him and his songs
Couldn't agree more.
thank you for the early christmas gift matt
More early Halloween
...Really early Christmas gift. :p
This song makes me cry every time. It is so beautiful and human, his voice is just so beautiful

beautiful, friend. truly beautiful
These days I listen to this guy Songs all the time. Hype for this new one
Frrr, all his songs sound so fresh and unique. Never scared to take risks.
My cousin!!! Doing amazing things. Awee Aunt Jill in here !
Matt … another beautiful and meaningful song … you really know how to make me cry when “I feel nothing at all” and everything at once.
I hope you’re well … always 🦋
he said in a stream that he thinks this is the most personal song he's written
one of the most beautiful and sensitive songs I've ever been able to immerse myself in. I had never stopped to think about what the song says and it is so real
Please please please play this song on 10/30. I will be at the Foundry in Philly. ❤
Your music never disappoint, Matt
Happy Mothers day MA!❤

This is such a gorgeous song, I love that it covers a topic that's never really talked about, it looks at heartbreak from a really interesting perspective!
So glad I got to hear this live as well. This is now one of my favourite songs
This song makes me want to sit and cry my heart out, but I’m sitting here listening to this song over and over in silence, while accepting my loneliness the live gave me
“Some people stumble into your heart for all time”- that hurt 🫠
Anyone knows any other songs that talk about similar topic? Finally, a song that captures this sentiment so well.
I interpret this as speaking to himself vicariously through his mother. "maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her" could be what he's trying to believe for himself, and convincing his mother to believe it too will validate him, and give him hope
it's midnight here and im thankful for my insomia for keeping me up 😭😭 i love you so much matt! i love every bit of you!!
Saw him play this live last month. It's about a break-up where the mother feels like she lost a daughter
Really hesitated clicking on this because I don’t wanna cry rn
Why is this masterpiece only has 160k?
EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU MATT!!!
my loop is broken, again. i love this very much
i can't explain in words how much i love matt's songs. his songs always make me experience feelings i never knew i could feel. his songs help me a lot when i feel empty and helped me get through tough times. thank you matt for making music
Matt, you deserve an Oscar :)
진짜 마음을 울리는 노래네요 영어를 알아듣지 못하지만 그의목소리로 슬픔을 느끼네요
His words are towards his mom, but we all know he's consolating himself
Matt amo mucho tus canciones 💖
al fin, alguien en español
i haven't even heard the song yet and i already love it
How does Matt always knock it out of the park with these songs?
He thinks about his mother.
when your lungs stop, you die
when you lose love, that's life.
Matt, you deserve more recognition, to reach even more hearts.
Matt makes superb music
I love music like this. So ethereal. So mystical. I’m in love
i couldn’t be more grateful that i got to know your music matthew. i feel it so much, so much. different music makes me feel different things, and yours make me feel something so very special. thank you so much, i keep those songs in my heart so tight. i love this. this is out there in the world and it’s so beautiful and precious. this is what makes me love people, while i also hate them. this is gentle, sensitive. i can’t. i love this.

this song never fails to make me cry and the music video solidifies that even more
thanks Matt for everything, your talent and such being demonstrated through your songs, looking forward to it.
Honestly this song and clip is so underrated!!! I have heard this song also at his concert. I really love it
teared up listening to this :,) your music is truly amazing
Amazing video, better song. Once again thank you Matt, your songs have helped me through much and you´ve made it again.
gave me CHILLS
He and his music are amazing!!!!! 💞💞
My brother got a divorce.

so exited i saw a fan cam of this song live and it was good
I hope you won't get tired on making such amazing songs. Your songs heals me. I find solace everytime I hear your music.
This has me bawling a kind of bawl I’ve never bawled before 😢
So beautiful. I can’t wait to hear it live ❤

I loved seeing this in Toronto. Definitely worth the 5 hour drive there :)
Another masterpiece that get so underrate hopefully you get much better and more respect Matt

there's something about matt maltese songs that make them so comforting but painful at the same time🥲🥲
love u Matt😭💖 greetings from Chile, please come soon🇨🇱
Been putting this on loop for almost a week now
I’m so grateful that I discovered you, Matthew. so lucky, so blessed.
I really appreciate how he says “them”
Ofc! There's no guarantee that it'll be a GIRL friend. Perhaps the breakup in question was with a BOY friend😅
Same difference either way.
Just love the song its so beautiful especially since its about mother, Matt really made me admire piano even more.
i'm so ready for this song !!!! :3
Beautiful
i love you matt
Thanks Sabrina for bringing me here😊
