Matt, I am a disabled veteran. And when I heard this song I finally figured out what I needed to do to get rid of the demons that hold me down. Thank you for showing me the light.
Thank you for your service, sir. I'm a disabled RN and provided great care of my veteran patients over the years. And, all my pts, but my veteran pts were special. Stoic, quietly suffered in their way, all of em. My agent orange pt broke my heart completely. His sweet wife cried silently also. End of his ungodly pain was a great relief. I cried later on. As a case hardened nurse, I cried inside for all of you good men. Mad Respect, my friend. I salute you, sir. ❤️🙏❤️
Sir Today is Father’s Day and I want you to know that you are the most important person to me today My nephew was locked up at 28 years of age he got out when he was 40 years old I learned a great deal of important things from him He lived with my family a gentle giant I cry every time I listen to your song and sent it to him You R so important to me thank you Tony Sutherland

I love it Matt ❤️ I've been meeting up with myself for a while now and I have the key, I'm turning it slowly, I am a different person after losing my son and I got lost in my own cage.
That one went straight to my very soul!! I can't even put into words what this one did to me. I wish I'd never heard it so I could experience hearing it for the first time again. Amazing. Thank you for reminding us that we build our own cages and we also hold the key to release. We just have to realize it.
I couldn't have said it better myself! And yes, we most definitely build our own cages. It's only in realizing it, that we can be released from those cages. ❤ Your comment! God bless ya! 🙏 And what a 🎁 Matt is! ❤😊🌟
I Felt That Right in My Heart as My Tears Began to Flow Down My Cheeks as I Know the Man in Which You Speak of In Your Song in Your Message (JESUS) AMEN!!! VERY POWERFUL SONG!! Matt, You Do Know Your CHOSEN!??? YOU ARE!!! AMAZING VOICE and SONG LYRICS!
Ive been waiting to hear This song. It is beautiful 🙏. Please keep producing your music. You've been hiding out too long. Jesus is shining His light on You!
Wow. You are really some imprten gift. You look so good,and sound amaising. Love it,and you. Shine on you crasy diamant. Love from a bird in a cage. ❤❤❤
Matt, thank you for sharing your music, your life thru your music. You see, I was once the man in the cage, the one begging to be free. I wss caught up in an addiction, in a toxic relationship, in need of help. I ended up in federal prison for over 7 years. During that time I lost my mother. Even though I loved her more than anyone else on this earth, I had let her down so much. I overcame my addiction to meth and reached out to God during my trials snd tribulations. I became the music minister in the Chapel and like you, i am a songwriter. I would try to write a new song every week to share in Sunday service. I became a better man because of my faith in Jesus Christ. Ive been out of prison for 5 years now amd I've never went back to those old addictions. I am proof that as you said, we choose who we are. I really want to share my music with the world and i hope that i can accomplish it, not for my glory, but for the glory of God. I pray that i can find the finances to accomplish it. Thanks for the music. You have a great gift.
I am the female version of this beautiful song. I have lived my entire life in this cage - just recently freed myself from it …..by/with the grace of God
We are all caged by the person society trains us to be. We should all unlock that door to the person we are truly meant to be. We are our own captor. Set yourself free. Love the song!
I hope you have used the metaphorical key to free your heart and your journey is a happier one. You own your destiny. Peace too you my friend. ❤ A message sung soulfuly. ❤
Same here..I lost my husband New Years day @ 58 yrs old. Early onset dementia had him in a cage..he lived 5 yrs. But the door on his cage is open! Thank you Jesus and Matt
For His Glory! The pain and the peace in this man's voice all at once... is a beautiful gift from God Almighty. The Lord has used Matt as His vessel. Take heed. Thank You Abba 🤍 Thank You Jesus 🩸✝️ Thank You Holy Spirit 🕊️ In the mighty matchless name of Jesus! Amen
I tried to send this to my son, I hope he received it and I hope he listens and it gives him strength to try again. I would never have dreamed that one of my sons would be an addict.
As an addict, please don't give up on your son, let him know as much as possible that you love him & that you're here for him regardless 🩷 I'll keep you, your son, & your family in my thoughts & prayers.
Thank you for putting it out there, God knows you, and your son, I know that. My son is nearly 16 and I have raised him alone until last year my Mother came for her last year in our country home to make it the last leg of this earth walk, she was a lifelong Alcoholic and in the worst of ways, 2 prison sentence on DUI's, and as well as her life could've taken a better path, it did she was sober her last year here with us. My son's Mother almost the same except Hard drugs and pills...I travelled all over earth to try and help her reach sobriety, but God wasn't in her sights only her 'own ability '...so her son, our son- knows he has arrived at the age to recognize addicts and addiction as a generation and genetic influence. I stay sober, yet drink a beer occasionally and he knows I am not of the struggling with substance type person, but he knows he also is, and it's a heavy heart for this Dad to even type the possible horror and hurt of thoughts that flood into my little mind knowing he is on the path he is, and without the GOOD LORD of Love and Creation in my heart and mind and years PROOF behind me that he LIVES, I wouldn't be here confidently writing another Father to remember that all things are his, all times, all souls, all future, past and presence belong to God almighty and that is the ONLY saving grace for the saved. Praise God, pray the vision of you seeing your Son in highest health and confidence, because I AM also, this Prayer in a light and a vision sent to you man, may your son be raised up and claim his birthright. He needs your tender loving kindness, like we need God's equally. Maintain Dad~
It resonates straight to the core! Powerful for our young man finding themselves in this world yet not be of the world. To face fears rather than run from them. They are our incredibly beautiful young man and I'm honored to know many are seeking to find that strength of being the man they are.
Love your new song, I Met A Man. All of your songs resonate within my soul. Keep going strong, based on your many reviews you resonate within many souls. Bless you Matt.
I felt this song of yoirs all the way into my soul , so many of your songs hit me hard . You have a gifted voice I could listen to forever . You are rare my friend ! ❤
He's talking about himself he only had the key to unlock himself.. I know there's a lot of comments on here that it was Jesus/God that came to him, but I think he finally came to the realization to go back to himself just my opinion...
I was really surprised that so many thought the song was about Jesus setting him free, I am 75 years old and I knew immediately that he was saying that the key was in his hand. Of course if it was about Jesus, that would be marvelous too.
I'm one of the ones that commented that it was Jesus/God that set hom free. However, yes, you are also correct in that he had the key himself to set himself free. For me, it took Jesus to open my eyes to realize that I held the key within myself and that I relied on Him to give me the strength and understanding that freewill to do or not to do something is the key to life. It's more complicated than that, but for me, without God, I didn't have the strength, courage, nor the will to change.
@@michaelwillis6877Unfortunately, living a Christian life for God The Father, King Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit, as I said living a Christian life is no where close as hard as what many think. The devil over the past hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years have twist and tainted Our Savior and The Holy Word of GOD. I think the people that are are Christians should have the voice of The Holy Spirit leading and guideing their hearts. ( You people know who you are.) Maybe for some it is about JESUS and for some it is about themselves. I'M JUST SAYING. THAT IS EHAT WAS LAID ON MY HEART. I never comment but I felt like The Holy Spirit laid it on my heart to do. Also, I'm dealing with a new phone that I'm not used to yet. So, all that being said. I pray it helps somebody. May THE BlLOOD OF JESUS COVER KÉEP AND DELIVER ALL OF FATHER GODS CHILDREN ALWAYS AND FOREVER, HAVE A PEACEFUL, BLESSED DAY!!!!!!!
Omg, Matt! The suspense has been killing me, but I knew you wouldn't disappoint and MAN was I right. I just love you to pieces as I sit with tears streaming. Beautiful, just beautiful and just what I needed ❤️
You are helping to save so many lives. And helping those of us trying so hard to keep our person alive. Thank you! Hopefully you can come to Georgia sometime. I always need a tissue when I listen to your music...that's a good thing! ❤️
The shore was written to open my eyes on me, this one help me to realize the chance I had to met a marvelous man, with golden heart and he is my savior, my angel
It wasn't until you said "I am the man who lived inside the cage and I am the man who held the key," that this song hit me like a ton of bricks. Now I listen to it differently. Thanks Matt. ❤️
Absolutely flippin' brilliant!! Wow I'm learning to sing and if this isn't pure raw emotions and passion...then I don't know what is...I bet this is about you ...
Oh, my🙏💔😭 this heart of mine has been shattered. Jesus helps me by healing my broken heart.Many...Thanks to the writer of this beautiful song and the musician singing 🙏
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL MAN U ARE, UR VOICE, AND IF JESUS.. THE DAY I MET U. Matt McClure as well. Your eyes speak as Jesus. Your voice is pure, real and clear from the heart. So thankful I heard this today for first time. Happy Mother's Day to all on ur end!. Love and prayers. Angel
this is deep and mesmerizing; my life is a journey I am grateful God has allowed me to live, bad or good my choices, right or wrong, God didn't make me His Puppet...Freewill. its a struggle everyday, my emoticons are like roller-coasters and whirlwind's dropping me in a 🌋 🌋 that I have made rather in the pages of my heart and complicated mind. I'm trying to get back to God because He is my only Hope in my darkened world. God help me please. this is a beautiful song, what it's definition to me may not be yours vice/versa. whatever you see if honest looking in the mirror, angel good or bad, your roots will grow be all you are because when this is over we will stand before God. who knows the one in every picture frame all facade's fallen. good, evil, be who you are because you and God knows because His lens don't lie, or have respect of any individual. how can anyone be free if you're hiding, don't be who others want you to be be you . just remember when you take your last breath hope is gone. and you can't be anyone but a body lowered in the earth or dancing within the winds having been cremated. I need to let go and hold onto God through my history's journey and future tasks and tears, joy and the things that are the ingredients to life. one day at a time. we are all in some cell, cage or cave and only God can free us. thank you brother for this soul piercing song that's true.
I am in tears my best friend who died in a car crash in 2010 told me " laurie pray God will give the key to the cage your son has put himself in". I lost my son in 2016, he took his own life. Forever 27. There is always hope
God/Jesus, I believe are always with us. Having said that, I believe that this song is stating that only he could make the change to become a better him. He met himself and he had the key to make the change. Beautiful song! Very inspiring. I also see the lyrics meaning a lot of different things to a lot of different people and circumstances.
