Matt Elliott’s music has made me feel beauty in despair. Thank you for your live acoustic performances and videos. Matt Elliott and his early albums especially are just pure gold! His work on “ the third eye foundation” also amazing , check it out if you’ve not already. He is an amazing composer as well as having an amazing voice. I wish he was more widely appreciated but I guess 75% of the population prefer “easy pop music” like “Coldplay” for example, wish they would dig a bit deeper into more original indie music out there. I think Matt Elliot is totally on par with Radiohead and Portishead among other amazing artists ( too many to name IMHO, he really deserves more recognition, I’m afraid he has Major depressive disorder like me and might stop making music feeling so unappreciated, I really wish he would tour in the U.S before I die, maybe he is protesting America in his own way. I just hope he keeps on living and continues to make music that speaks to us fans. We all need some beautiful melancholy music to listen to when we’re depressed, bad pop music is nothing in comparison to him. I just love how Matt Elliott can combine beautiful yet heartbreaking melodies with resentful ad sarcastic even simplistic lyrics, and not try too hard to be Shakespearian all the time, like “Also Ran ” and “feast of saint Stephen” for example. Just genius work, and his talent is rare and much appreciated by his fan’s who actually understand his wide artistic range . Amazing electronic composition in third eye, as well as amazingly heartbreaking solo albums. We all have our favorites. He kinda reminds me of Elliott Smith in a way, ( I really hope Matt won’t follow in his footsteps) . We need and love you Matt Elliott! “ the third eye foundation and your solo work” , please keep on living ( I know it’s hard ) and creating beautiful music, so many fans depend on you. This might sound morbid but when I’m on my death bed ( intentional or natural) I’d literally get a huge loan from a bank and pay him to just sing me to sleep. What a great way to drift off into the void.
Hey, I won't give up music, I know that people love my work, and I really appreciate it. I would love to come to the US, unfortunately because I am so unknown, it makes it hard from a financial perspective but me, my booker and my label are trying our best to make it happen.
@@mattelliottmusic Your song, Oh How We Fell, had a profound effect on me. Growing up, my mom and I had a very complicated relationship because of a severe psychological/mental disorder she had. After avoiding recognizing I'd lived in this sort of constructed reality for almost my entire life, at a certain point, I couldn't keep running any more. As I was falling into a deep depression, I ran across this song and started listening to it pretty obsessively for a few months. Without a doubt, I listened to it thousands of times on repeat. Something about the rise and fall, the feeling of dizziness and tension it gave me, not to mention how weirdly spot on the lyrics felt, and particularly that ghostly chorus at the end... It helped keep me anchored while I finally tried to tread through those parts of my life I'd tried to hide away from myself and to start to understand why she had done what she had and why I had responded as I did. Now, I think being able back then to follow the development of that melody again and again, helped me to start parsing this dizzying experience that I couldn't tell where it stopped and I started. As an update, it's now five years later and after that depressive episode, I sort of see it as if my fever has broken (I feel like I was lowkey, or sometimes high key, depressed almost my whole life until that point) and I'm at peace with the relationship I had with my mom and have an appreciation and empathy for the person I think she was and maybe more importantly wanted to be, even if her life didn't allow for her to quite follow that. Thank you for your music, even when it's so beautiful it sort of breaks my heart open
I spent a good portion of my undergrad learning to play each track off 'the broken man' by ear when I should have been studying. I'll still crank out 'dust flesh and bones' the rare times I feel the urge to pick up a guitar these days, and that just might be the only thing of value I've retained from those years beyond the memories. would have been handy having these tutorials back then, but I guess figuring out and obsessing over things is half the fun. thanks for the effort if you are reading this, Matt.
Damn, I've already figured out the whole song by myself, but still I really appreciate that you upload tutorials. I'm waiting unpatiently for the new one The Day After That. Regards Matt
I want to hear this before I die, It's... Like the flow of time; so reflexive, so calm yet so rushed... One of my favorite songs I'll try to learn how to play it, may that give me the right to cry (funny because I can't cry). This song is a gentle touch, a reminder of those things we had, but don't forget what we can get.
This song got me through a relationships very painful end and helped me to get back on my feet again. For that I will be eternally greatful to Matt. Always been a big believer in music as therapy and Matt's music has never let me down.
Idk if you still read this comments, but i really wanted to tell you that you are an inspiration to me, your music is one of the most beautiful things I've ever experienced and that they are the ones that help me keep going, I've cried, smiled and tought of your letters and your guitar, you really are amazing and a true treasure as an artist
Wish I'd known this channel existed sooner, this is amazing. Thank you very much for uploading this and for providing us with beautiful music, Matt! Much love.
I LOVE YOUR MUSIC SO MUCH!!! seriously, your songs soothe my soul in ways I cannot describe. thank you for sharing your beautiful music, because I am so happy I stumbled upon you. you are one of my favorite artists of all time, and I hope to see you live some day! :)
guess i have a story to share about trynna learn this fucking song. i messaged ici dailleurs one time directly from their website asking for a video of matt playing this song, because after trying to learn it using only my ears and some videos (ones where you can clearly see the guitar) i found myself lost in the sensation of being an eternal beginner. i would never have hoped to have an answer of any sort (that includes the instagram dm's, i've been fucking trying to make contact there), but i guess this is, in some kind of way, something the universe put together for a laugh. i only discovered this video today, this channel today. i feel so dumb. i've been searching all kinds of videos so much lately. i'm grateful anyway. thanks for this and sorry for the boring story. hope to see u in brazil someday. é nois
This is next on the list to learn! I learned how to play How to Kill a Rose from a cover on RUclips, so i'm glad i can learn more of your music :) You are one of my biggest inspirations for playing
Hello Matt, thank you so much for making your music, they calm the bottom of my heart. I feel so lucky to be able to find your music, the first time i came across your music is the Drinking Songs album on youtube. I’m from hong kong, and i must come to see your live performance at least once before i die.
As a beginner it's so hard to learn just by looking, would be amazing if anyone could make a tab for it. Until then im gonna accept that challenging task, and if i learn i will brag about it forever.
Matt Elliott, the random click I made two years ago on RUclips made you one of my favourite living musicians. Thank you for landing in my recommendation. I wish people misclicks like that one. I also hope to see you live. Is it realistic for me as a man living in Prague? Or should I rather look out for concerts in Vienna, East Germany or Poland?
Matt, how do you approach writing something like this? Do you have a chord progression in mind and noodle around it? Or just explore until something good comes out of it?
Lyrics : You are the prisoner And you are the guard You are the one who constructed the bars And despite this protection You still end up scarred Cos people are people They are who they are I was no better or worse than the fray Who did conspire to take you and hide you away But I never wanted you to suffocate Or burry you under I never once said a... Lie in your own bed The one that you've made there Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair That way you need never share You'll never be forced to care You can just sit there an stare At your own beautiful hair Because there's little else there When your world comes crashing down Don't ever think back And don't remeber me And all the things we could have seen Those days were long ago and things were different then And when your world comes crashing down Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain Expression lost and drained Your passions unfulfilled just an amply shell remains And when, when your world comes Crashing down don't cry Don't look down You should dry Those once pretty eyes Cos you have lost the right The right to cry Hold me like you used to do again Hold me like you used to do my friend Again...

One of the best songs ever written, so thank you.

Didn't even realize it was the man himself playing, this is amazing.

thanks for the effort if you are reading this, Matt.
I'm lost for words... I've been needing this stuff for so long and it was right here this whole time.
Matt, you're a living beauty composer. You do the same thing Chopin does but on guitar. I love your love for music. Thank you.
Damn, I've already figured out the whole song by myself, but still I really appreciate that you upload tutorials. I'm waiting unpatiently for the new one The Day After That. Regards Matt

Hey Matt. This is very pretty.
Lyrics :
You are the prisoner
And you are the guard
You are the one who constructed the bars
And despite this protection
You still end up scarred
Cos people are people
They are who they are
I was no better or worse than the fray
Who did conspire to take you and hide you away
But I never wanted you to suffocate
Or burry you under I never once said a...
Lie in your own bed
The one that you've made there
Wrap yourself up in the comfort of despair
That way you need never share
You'll never be forced to care
You can just sit there an stare
At your own beautiful hair
Because there's little else there
When your world comes crashing down
Don't ever think back
And don't remeber me
And all the things we could have seen
Those days were long ago and things were different then
And when your world comes crashing down
Your looks have faded and only worry lines remain
Expression lost and drained
Your passions unfulfilled just an amply shell remains
And when, when your world comes
Crashing down don't cry
Don't look down
You should dry
Those once pretty eyes
Cos you have lost the right
The right to cry
Hold me like you used to do again
Hold me like you used to do my friend
Again...
I was only saying
Perhaps I went too far
I was only praying
That you would invite me to your arms
I was only saying
Perhaps it's time for me to leave
I was only praying
That somehow you would look behind
My eyes and you would see
But you don't
I'm haunted by the things that we left behind
And try as I might I just can't get you out of my mind
You read all the wrong signs
Projection projection projection but they weren't right
You'll find given the time
That I was all of the things you were trying to find
*le sigh* I wish I could take guitar lessons with you.
Thank you so much Matt. I am sorry for bothering you in facebook so many times ahahah
