about
Inspired by a line from Jorge Luis Borges, and the growing sense that we're all of us holding melancholy at bay a lot of the time.
lyrics
I Will Not Weep
Everything suspended has to fall.
Every roof and every wall.
The nest you built in this old tree,
and the tree itself, eventually.
All the changes you had planned –
they go like footprints in the sand.
The alibi you thought was strong,
and the lie you told yourself for so long.
But I will not, I will not weep;
if I start now, I’ll never stop.
The ones you lost along the way
show up in your dreams and say:
‘Gravity was just too strong,
we’re just glad we got to run for so long’.
And I will not, I will not weep.
If I start now, I’ll never stop.
It’s a Lake Ontario of tears
I’ve been holding back for all these years,
and I will not, I will not weep,
if I start now, I’ll never stop.
No I will not, I will not weep,
if I start now, I’ll never stop.
A gifted writer, player and producer, Matt's 'Lessons of War' is a fascinating collection of collaborations - but he has a great back catalogue, too - and new songs due soon... Anthony Toner
