Matt Walden - Crossroads

Copied!

Your family said you messed up this time
Wasted 7 years of our God damn life
Do you really think that you could be his wife?
I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness behind

You’ll see his shows but you won’t see mine
I had to beg you all the time
Someday soon I’m gonna be just fine
I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness behind

Maybe it’s better off this way?
I used to think I’d wanna stay
There's nothing left that I can say
When you let it out that day
Did you have to say his name?
Did you have to say his name?
Did you have to say his name?
Did you have to say his name?
Oh did you have to say his name?
Oh did you have to say his name?
Oh
Oh did you have to say his name?
Oh
Oh did you have to say his name?
Oh
Oh did you have to say it?
Did you have to say his name?

It’s not easy to let you go
It feels weird to be in our bed alone
& I know this time will let you grow

But me — I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness
I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness
I’m at the crossroads of leaving bitterness, behind

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.
