Matt Walden - Finally Alive

Copied!

{Intro}
I've been learning how to breathe
I've been facing away from the sea
I've been broken, but that's okay
'Cause I am finally alive

{Verse}
This song is for the helpless
The broken and adjourned
The ones who keep on fighting
Even though their page has turned
I know with hope there's something
Greater to be learned
So let's hold our heads higher
And get back what we've earned
The old bridges burn

{Chorus}
I've been learning how to breathe
I've been facing away from the sea
I've been broken, but that's okay
'Cause I am finally alive
Finally alive
I'm finally alive
I'm finally alive
Mmm, woah, oh, oh, oh
I'm finally alive
I'm finally alive
Finally alive

{Bridge}
So stop worrying about your worth
And start worrying about the words that come out of your mouth
That come out of your mouth
So stop worrying about your wort
And start worrying about the words that come out of your mouth
That come out of your mouth
So stop worrying about your worth
And start worrying about the words that come out of your mouth
That come out of your mouth, oh

{Chorus}
I've been learning how to breathe
I've been facing away from the sea
I've been broken, but that's okay
'Cause I am finally alive
Finally alive
I'm finally alive
I'm finally alive

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.
