      Because he says it as it is, and kept out of the mainstream record companies and merchandise is his own a very wise man and his music has helped me out of a few low times in my life since the early 80s. And one of Matt's famous quotes: for every kick in the face and hurdle you pass.. the rewards get greater. So true.

      Really, really special. Probably because he took time away & stayed honest to himself. That's what keeps it so fresh. One of the few who just refused to keep churning out songs like a factory. Then we all get something this delicious!

    So here you live
    Trapped inside the days
    Your pen moving across the page
    Back to where, It has begun
    Uncoiled, unspun
    What you were, what you will become
    The days, setting with the sun
    Wake up it's time to go
    The taste of tears still in your throat
    Silence from your songs
    Reminds us, when you are gone
    We can't hate the river for flowing
    Can't blame the wild wind blowing
    Can't slow time from running
    We can't stop what's coming
    The Bonfire is burning
    The birds returning
    An owl by night
    A mourning crow
    Indide a Shadow that grows
    A darkness in the darkness
    A stranger on the shore
    Outside of your window
    Knocking on your door
    When there is rain that pours
    'Til there is pain, no more
    Wake up it's time to go
    The taste of tears still in your throat
    Silence from your songs
    Reminds us, when you are gone
    We can't hate the river for flowing
    Can't blame the wild wind blowing
    Can't slow time from running
    We can't stop what's coming

      Gold Standard?! Are you serious?! Do you even know what prolific means? The Smiths were prolific during those 5-6 years they were active, The Beatles during their years. Fresh example is King Gizzard... releasing several albums a year. It means that he writes a lot of songs continually. Creatively fruitful. He's not prolific. He didn't release anything for 15 or so years before this single. He even talks at the start of this video how he isn't prolific. And you got 8 likes for that, too funny.
