Matt Walden - Yellow Rose

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I took my heaviest book
And I placed you inside
With each breath that you took
Rested soft by my side
Before your petals could fall
And colors would fade
I'd preserve your heart
And press you into the page

{Chorus}
Mmm
You're my yellow rose
Mmm
I'll take you wherever I go

{Verse 2}
And I like to think
That I know what you think
And I spend too long
Spend too long in my dreams
I'm fixated on
What this could be
This purpose I hope
I hope that you can see

{Verse 3}
I've got this pen and this paper
But I don't know how I'll get there
And I just want people to see
To see what they need
To love everyone and be free

{Bridge}
They said things would get easier
Once I made it, the money would roll in
I know this seems impossible
This insane situation we're in

They said things would get easier
Once I made it, the money would roll in
I know this seems impossible
This insane situation we're in

{Interlude}
You're my rose
But this is my dream
You're all that I want
But what do I need?

{Verse 4}
I took my heaviest book
And placed you inside
With each breath that you took
Rested soft by my side
Before your petals could fall
And colors would fade
I'd preserve your heart
And press you into the page

Biography

edit bio

Music has always been my escape.

At the age of 15, I started writing songs in my room stemming from heartbreak and hormones. Posting originals and quick covers on YouTube of artists such as The Maine , All Time Low, & Ed Sheeran.

Come 2014, I moved out of the house and resided in my hometown of Bradenton, FL. to utilize the recording opportunities via the Del Couch Music Education Foundation. All in the meanwhile, building a small following via Vine (R.I.P.).

In the next few years, things got real.

I quit my job in 2015 to fully dedicate my time to creating music. During this time, some unfortunate events occurred & left me in a ‘homeless’ situation. Living on friends couches and spending each day in the studio working with Raven Chapman to create the ‘Life – EP’ released in 2015.

After that release, I had a bit of a revelation. Music was how I escape from all the rough patches in my life; what if I could help give that same type of escape to other people?

I wrote ‘Breathe.’ in October of 2016 about my dealings with suicide, depression & overall negative thoughts I had. Hoping to spark hope in not only myself but others who may be dealing with things similar to what I went through.

The goal is one thing. Create an escape for others.

Whether the songs are fun, sad, or confused; making each show & track about being someone else’s escape is the ultimate plan.
