This is an early version of "never know why" that would later appear on the album "my first love mends my final days". Thank you for listening, it means the world.
It’s beautiful hearing the change in feeling about your parents throughout your lyrics over the years. e.g. “I ain’t loved my father since I can’t remember when, I don’t know if I’ll ever love him” “my mother’s dead and my dad just drinks all day”.. to lyrics of understanding and reconciliation e.g. “my mom had a fucked up childhood, that’s the burden that we both bear”, “It’s a long way to the meaning of a life”. It’s a beautiful example of the multi faceted nature of human relationships, and the emotional maturation we gain as we go on throughout life, seeing our parents as ourselves, people still finding their way rather than someone who has it all figured out
This version is so absolutely beautiful. Thank you a lot for writing and sharing it! One of my all-time favorite songs of you. I hope one day you will go on tour in Europe again and visit Germany. My friends and me really appreciated you playing here with your band back in 2017. All the best to you!
as a longtime Avl resident in the past, I've always loved your music man. you've got a good heart and Ive often found company in your music over the years. much love from out west
i was going under, thinking about my mother having visions of her as a child trying to love her mother through a vodka bottle and in this vision we were reconciled it's a long way to the meaning of a life i know we'll get there together, on the other side of all this pain we feel, but never know why my mothers strong and i am my mother's child i wish the love was stronger, between me and my father i have visions of him as a child trying to love his father, through a heart's confusion and in this vision we are reconciled and it's a long way to the meaning of a life i know we'll get there together, on the other side of all this pain we feel, but never know why my fathers strong and i am my father's child
I remember hearing you play this on your final Coma Cinema tour and it immediately became a favorite of mine. This acoustic recording really takes me back to that performance. Lovely 💖
i love these stripped down, early versions. thank you for sharing them. really looking forward to the possibility of you releasing worldwide séance soon xo

nice florist pfp :)
I don’t think I’ve ever heard such a sincere song. This is the bitter pain of a child felt anew from the distance of time and reflection
Hey man these lyrics are some of the most beautiful ever. And they’ve helped me viewing my parents differently. Oliver
I am glad for that Oliver, thank you for being part of it all
@@summertimeinhell thank you my man
Yeah same. Love this song deeply
This song feels like it was made just for me. I cry every time I hear it. Thank you. You’ve touched more people than you’ll ever know.

Hey thank you for this song. It means a lot to me. I listen to live versions, the studio, and this demo all the time
It’s one of those songs that I fantasize about having written myself. That’s when u know u made a song that’s a whole other level
This song continues to make me tear up, it's one of my favorite songs, thank you Mat.

Never stop making music. Please.
timeless music
i was going under, thinking about my mother
having visions of her as a child
trying to love her mother through a vodka bottle
and in this vision we were reconciled
it's a long way to the meaning of a life
i know we'll get there together, on the other side
of all this pain we feel, but never know why
my mothers strong and i am
my mother's child
i wish the love was stronger, between me and my father
i have visions of him as a child
trying to love his father, through a heart's confusion
and in this vision we are reconciled
and it's a long way to the meaning of a life
i know we'll get there together, on the other side
of all this pain we feel, but never know why
my fathers strong and i am
my father's child
thank you for lyrics no name
