Matt Walden - Are You Ok?

Copied!

{Verse 1: Matt Walden}
You don't have to fake it
You know you can tell me what you feel
I can see your vacant stare at the wall
Holding onto something
But I just don't know why
You think that it's easier, easier not to say

{Chorus: Matt Walden}
Why do you like the way those tears run down?
Those mascara stains are black and loud
You're telling me to leave, it's not allowed
I'm here to stay
Are you okay?
Are you okay?

{Verse 2: wolfi, wolfi & Matt Walden}
Smokin' in the alleyway
Midnight howling at the moon
I know she's plotting her escape
To a place where no one knew
I know you hate when seasons change
But don't you wanna see it all in bloom?
A complicated disarray of lonely thoughts until noon

{Chorus: Matt Walden & wolfi}
Why do you like the way those tears run down?
Those mascara stains are black and loud
You're telling me to leave, it's not allowed
I'm here to stay

Why do you like the way those tears run down?
Those mascara stains are black and loud
You're telling me to leave, it's not allowed
I'm here to stay
Are you okay?

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.
