Absolutely beautiful song , your musical influences are very easily recognize . It takes a well tuned mind to write in the style of the music you love and still be 100% original. In this song I would only compare you with yourself , the melodies and lyrics say more about you than the style of music you choose ever could . A very meaningful song , thank you for sharing a piece of your soul .
very cool... love the vocals and performance and video is awesome cool... i love the walking feet, i use it often ... very effective and compelling... intriguing title..... the kind of song that could be a timeless classic... enjoyed!
Oh mein lieber Freund Matthew, was für ein grossartiger Song und Aufführung. Ich freue mich sehr, dass Du wider da bist, danke so viel... Herzlichst aus der Schweiz, Dein Freund Hans-Peter
Moody... haunting.... powerful! Matthew it's awesome to see you come out swinging with this fabulous new original. It's stuck in my head after one listen... now that's great songwriting! Your creativity is striking ... lyrics, music and visuals combine to pack a powerful punch. You're a true artist sir, really unforgettable. I tip my hat to you :)
Matthew..... this lays bare pure emotion without pretention. A very haunting edginess pervails... underlying hurt but there's a strength to this with those insistent guitars and deep warm bass... your almost 'narrative' vocal tells a story straight from the heart...absolutely brilliant my friend. Peace light love - rock on. XO
Matthew, that segment that starts at 0:53 is freaking powerful! It made me want to pump my fist in the air. Great lyrics and beat! You sang these cool lyrics with emotion. I really enjoyed this!
Matty!! How great to see you back again with this wonderful original song and production! Great music, lyrics and delivered with great soul. I love the style and filming of your video, too....great layered imagery to give it further depth and meaning! Also, you wear a suit well! The way it opened up at :53 was fabulous. Your vocal reminds me very much of the great Bob Dylan....great story-telling quality here. I also love your beautiful guitar work and other instrumentation. I do believe I know what the rose signifies, too. Welcome back Matty!!! ~Jackie
Thank you Jackie. Yes I'm finally back after all this time. Been working hard on this for the last two weeks or so with new recording software and new video editing software. Had to get familiar with both just in the last two weeks...many many hours but well worth it. Yes, I believe you 'do' know what the 'Rose' is here. Thanks again Jackie. I am always honored by your comments and indeed your insight into this world of art we all dwell within and share with others in that world here on RU-vid. Because it is the 'others' that inspire us and encourage us to further our creativity.
You are most welcome dear Matty! Glad to see you working again. You are a musician at heart and it suits you well and entertains us. I can only imagine the hard work that went into this one! You're just great and your words are wonderful and wise :-) Best to you and your whole family Matty! Hope Mom is doing well! Again, welcome back! ~Jackie
