Before my son passed away. .he sent me a song by him...he connected so much with him...only difference is he let it consume him...i get it..and I will forever love matt maeson for bringing things into the limelight!!! Nobody knows what demons are inflicting ones soul and that battle they are trying to conquer ....its exhausting and never-ending!!! Shout out to those dealing...its hard..but not impossible
I’m sorry for your loss, that’s really hard to go through. This mans songs are great at connecting with people who are going through / well a lot of different things. My condolences.
Well I just discovered his music today, I relate to him I’m mentally numb I loss both of my parents this year and I just don’t know anymore, I’m only 31 and I loss both in a 5 month period.
rob obert I’m so sorry. I don’t think i can comprehend the pain, or numbness that you’re going through but I’m sure your parents loved you very much and they’ll always be in your heart. You being here, staying strong, and carrying their memories with you keeps them alive. Stay as strong as you can man🖤
rob obert I hate that you feel like this, I suffer from severe depression and anxiety and know how you feel but I guess we are dealing with it, we're still here battling on and we will have to for the rest of our lives, I'm 37 and can only hope it gets easier so know your not alone and just remember when you're at your worst, there is someone in Scotland uk (and all over) feeling the same keep on keeping on 🖤💙
@@pollywebb4816 embrace the change. As kids we wish we were adults, but vise versa. It's not bad to still be a kid, but you gotta embrace the differences. All of them, the sadder the better, because if you can embrace the worst, you'll further enjoy and cherish the best.
Nope. You arent alone at all. We may not know each other but I have been there and still fight in the trenches. Hope you are well and enjoying the new year.
I do not know how it feels completely. However, my dad was a former smoker and my mom still smokes. I hope my mom stops smoking and doing drugs. Also just for closure my name is Caden.
Former addict, pack a day? Lol. I shouldn't talk though, used every drug I could in a decade of my life, lost a lot. I shouldn't talk tho, I read Allen Carr's Easyway to stop smoking 60 some odd times lol

I'll tell you, this is exactly what alcoholism is for me. So glad I stopped drinking 4yrs ago. Some of these lyrics are on point with exact thoughts that have gone through my mind. Great song, great vocals. 👍
@particularbored6072 how did you do it? I've been medicating chronic pain with alcohol and I keep trying to stop but the pain comes back and I return to drinking every night just to get some sleep.
matt truly is one of the best lyricists of our time. his angelic voice paired with these deeply truthful lyrics have gotten through so much. love you matt:)
Never stuggled with drugs, alcohol, or any kind of substance abuse, but like Matt said we're all a user of something. I struggle with my ADHD even though I'm medicated for it, so there are some days that I feel like I can relate to this song.
Matt Maeson is simply incapable of making a bad song. Discovering his music was by far one of the best musical findings to happen to me. Absolute genius.
The last thing I did before my semester started was drive a couple hours to see Matt Maeson and Yoursmith, but I had never heard of either of them before! My old bus buddy from elementary school that I see maybe once a year or so still reached out to me and told me Matt Maeson was his favorite artist and he wanted me to go with him. Honestly, what a great show to go in blind to. Call me a fan now, what an amazing performer. His songs truly hook you, I've never been able to pick up a chorus and start singing a long to a song mid concert until that show. Such a great experience! I expect to see Matt booming as the years go by
My cough is getting worse now, I can feel it in my chest. I went from grams to ounces, I just try to do my best. I hate the man I used to be. He made me who I am. I took six tabs the other day. I didn't give a damn. All these drugs are killing me, at least they take their time. As I slowly overdose, I'll write it down in rhyme. The truth is that I'm weak today. My lungs covered in plaque. My liver barely functions and I'm pretty sure it's black. Its hard to see the best in life when all I see is smoke. It's hard to just get off the drugs with all my friends on coke. The alcohol is smoother now. It doesn't even burn. I chugg a bottle just for fun, don't think I'll ever learn. I've greened out in front of pretty girls, from smoking too much tree. I know so many pretty girls, but none of them know me. I was thinking just the other day, that I should write a book. About my life and things I've done to give people a look. Into my life, into my brain, into my very sole. But inside such a story I would take the villain's role. I thought about the chapters and what words would fill each page. No matter how I looked at it, my sins would never age. I couldn't be the hero, get the reader on my side. Unless the book was just untrue, and then they'd know I lied. If I wrote a book about myself with everything I've done. I would be the villain and mom would be undone. I'm trying to be better now. I'm trying to improve. But I'm not trying very hard, the church would not approve. So I'll light another cigarette and smoke another blunt. Ignoring all my issues that I never will confront. I hate to look at mirrors, I'm afraid of what I'll see. Another lost, forgotten man, that looks nothing like me. My mom says I should see someone, she thinks that something's wrong. I promise her that I'm okay and I write her a song. My family's finally proud of me. They see how much I've grown. They don't know how I spend my nights, drinking all alone. My cough is getting worse now, I can feel it in my chest. I went from shots to bottles, I just try to do my best.
For real bi polar and ADHD, despite treatment, struggle daily to maintain "cool & content"and this guy gets it. Love the music, can't get enough of it lately
its been such a shitty week, your album made it so much better tbh. I love listening to music in general especially yours to help if times are shitty. Your music just makes me so happy, thank you for that
This man literally sings what I think. I never thought I would ever hear music that made me feel so much. It’s like I’m in high school getting fucked up listening to The Beatles for the first time.
This song is just badass wow...it speaks to me at the moment...You are such an amazing artist Matt Maeson I’m so glad someone showed your awesomeness to me😊😊😊
this is beautiful. i feel this in my SOUL. the whole first verse,,,,,, me. but anyway, congrats on the album dude, its so GOOD and thanks for articulating my feelings so successfully, and letting me know im not by myself. x
Sebastien Woodward u know what this verse means I'm guessing the first 2 lines him talking to God why am talkin to a ghost that I've never even seen and I haven't even heard you speak but here what does it mean?? and several months goes by so quick maybe you're just full of shit you never last I'm sorry I just said that
This is so beautiful, to me the guy carrying the chest is a symbolic representation of the spirit of peace (Jesus Christ) and Matt is the symbolic representation of satan after atoning in the flame, loyal to god once more through living in pain and throwing himself into the lake of fire in an act of repentance, morbid curiosity, and mercy before the apocalypse intentionally stop his pain, inadvertently also other’s while Jesus died for our sins. This is basically everyone’s life story too, boring the bullet so others don’t have too!
*Lyrics* My teeth are rottin’ away I’ve leathered all my skin and my blood is getting thin And my whole fucking characters changed I don’t know who I used to be but it certainly isn’t me Anymore and more I drink I am afraid That I am just killing myself Got me fearing for my health I’m scared is hell just a place on earth And I pray to god I leave before Satan pours another drink I’ve been sleeping like the man, I’ve been sleeping like the man on fire I just don’t care that much [x2] Combustible, confused and free I no longer see that coast that I always used to see And I think you’re drifting far from me Why am I talking to a ghost that I’ve never even seen And I haven’t even heard you speak And several months go by so quick Maybe you’re just full of shit You’ll never last I’m sorry I said that Maybe life was just a bet that I lost to drugs and cigarettes I’ve been sleeping like the man, I’ve been sleeping like the man on fire I just don’t care that much [x2] In my mind I will wander and wait Til I see your fire escape My teeth are rotting away I’ve leathered all my skin and my blood is getting thin I’m just living like the man, I’m just living like the man on fire I just don’t care that much [x2]
I’m really enjoying this Matt maeson My name is mason so I connected immediately before I even heard him then checked him out,,,,and WOW he’s a RARE artist just thankful & grateful that there are artist like him who can get it OUT it’s a transmission and I’m thankful that I’m the receiver Matt maeson YOUR A FUCKING ROCKSTAR DUDE I LOVE IT

me too....very much 🙁
I cant wait man ,wanna stay awake until your album is out .
Its out
I know
sorry to break it to you man, but i don’t think he cares that much.
Who knows, who knows...
I know and i don't care that much living like the man on fire is enough for me.
As a former addict, who smokes a pack daily, and struggles a lot, I feel so many things about this song. ❤️ glad to know I’m not alone~
Nope. You arent alone at all. We may not know each other but I have been there and still fight in the trenches. Hope you are well and enjoying the new year.

Im about 7 days off kratom tho! Natural, milder opioid.
Verse 1]
My teeth are rottin' away
I’ve leathered all my skin
And my blood is gettin' thin
And my whole fuckin' character’s changed
I don't know who I used to be
But it certainly isn't me
Any more and more I drink, I am afraid
That I'm just killin' myself
Got me fearin' for my health
I'm scared that Hell is just a place on Earth
And I pray to God I leave
Before Satan pours another drink
[Chorus]
I'm just living like the man
I’m just living like the man on fire
I just don’t care that much
I'm just living like the man
I’m just living like the man on fire
I just don't care that much
[Verse 2]
Combustible, confused, and free
I no longer see that coast
That I always used to see
And I think it drifted far from me
Why am I talkin' to a ghost
That I've never even seen
When I haven’t even heard you speak?
You said the months go by so quick
Maybe you're just full of shit
You'll never last, I'm sorry I just said that
Maybe life was just a bet
That I lost to drugs and cigarettes
[Chorus]
I'm just living like the man
I'm just living like the man on fire
I just don't care that much
I'm just living like the man
I'm just living like the man on fire
I just don't care that much
[Bridge]
In my mind, I will wander and wait
'Til I see your fire escape
My teeth are rottin' away
I've leathered all my skin
And my blood is gettin' thin
[Chorus]
I'm just living like the man
I'm just living like the man on fire
I just don't care that much
I'm just living like the man
I'm just living like the man on fire
I just don't care that much
Thank you!

So you say you don’t do drugs yet your doctor probably stuffs amphetamine into you. Nice
Yea, I’m “prescribed” opiates for my back but now I’m so used to em they don’t do anything but if I don’t take em I’m sick
haha
I'm with you bro I have ADHD to and it can make life hard sometimes
Technically adhd meds are usually an amphetamine so
I don't see me much these days but alcohol drugs and sleep when I can is the beauty I have. MATT MASOON .SPITS THE TRUTH!
I guess he just doesn't care that much that we are waiting in agony for this song 😭😂
YES!
For real
🤣
On the real
35 hours?! Damn it I thought I could wake up and listen to this. Oh well. I Just Don't Care That Much.
That's a lie I want it now
Matt Maeson is simply incapable of making a bad song. Discovering his music was by far one of the best musical findings to happen to me. Absolute genius.
Literally my favorite artist. Keep being you. (also you should make a song with Noah Kahan)
Or dermot Kennedy!
same
or with BANNERS, please
Or Hozier, but I don't know if their voices are compatible.
Or with Call me Karizma or with Grandson.
I'm about 6 or 7 songs deep from this guy and am not dissatisfied in any way. This dude is a real master in the art of song fu

I want to make music with Matt so bad. Idgaf, I'd play a triangle. Anything to be a part of this music. It reminds me I'm alive.
I feel like I’ve experienced Matt go through ups and down while I was going through similar ups and downs. Really trippy.
I seriously love every single word of all his songs. He has an original way of producing music
My cough is getting worse now, I can feel it in my chest.
I went from grams to ounces, I just try to do my best.
I hate the man I used to be. He made me who I am.

@@Morphea934 I'm not great at lyrics but I do enjoy poetry. I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙏❤️
How can I one song some up how I am and fell all the time. I swear matt just knows how people like us see the world it's wonderful
For real bi polar and ADHD, despite treatment, struggle daily to maintain "cool & content"and this guy gets it. Love the music, can't get enough of it lately
The rock rhythm of the chorus is fantastic how it toys with you with how "start-stop" it is.
mat😤ur music is my multi vitamin
I CANT STOP LISTENING TO YOUR WHOLE ALBUM!
I don’t know how, but I forgot... I forgot that this man doesn’t just bring emotion, he brings a fucking incredible voice
never related to a grim reaper swingin his scythe more in my life
love u matt. youve inspired me for so long. you rad ! :)
I've been listening to Matt for prolly the past year or two and I'll never get tired of his music
same
its been such a shitty week, your album made it so much better tbh. I love listening to music in general especially yours to help if times are shitty. Your music just makes me so happy, thank you for that
I just can't wait anymore.
Obcessed. The music, the voice, the message.
Matt has some serious talent, his music is in a genre of its own, his sound is original and so is his style, looooooveee!
This one deserves more recognition!
This is one of the greatest song I've heard in the last years, Matt is so talented and unique
people: why aren't you doing anything with your life?
me: *i just don't care that much*
Sounds fucking sad
@@michaellammens3125 Because it is
Matt, you truly never cease to amaze. This album couldn't have dropped at a more perfect time... I *needed* this. Forever a fan of yours. Thank you 🙏
This song is legit fire, *I want it to start playing on the radio🔥🔥🔥*
Excited!!!
this dude just puts out bangers. the songs are just full of meaning and powerful
Just when I thought I couldn't love Matt Maeson anymore, he does the impossible and I'm that much more in love with his voice.
This man literally sings what I think. I never thought I would ever hear music that made me feel so much. It’s like I’m in high school getting fucked up listening to The Beatles for the first time.
I'm way more excited for this album than I was for the Billie Eilish Album I had on pre order for two months. 💞😁
Well duh. He’s a way better artist no just an industry plant.
Sam Littleton I like both and Billie Isn’t an “industry plant” she got famous for making a song with her brother in litterly his bedroom.
GargoyleBoy yes she is that’s literally exactly what she is
he always has such amazing visuals
You make really good music. Thanks for sharing it with us!
nobody:
Matt Maeson: *drops some dope shit nobody even expected out of him*
An absolute banger
Dude is the mother fckn truth 🕯✊
Matt... this is cruel making us wait this long...
This song is just badass wow...it speaks to me at the moment...You are such an amazing artist Matt Maeson I’m so glad someone showed your awesomeness to me😊😊😊
Can I go on tour with you haha, I wanna see every damn show. Your voice is heaven.
There is literally just something about his music. So much passion. I literally can’t.
and once again he killed it
Listened to the whole album at 6am this morning. Love all the new songs!! ❤️
Touch my soul. There are so many of us
He’s amazing I love his voice he’s so talented I relate to his songs he sings it how life really is
This fuckin guy is an amazing musician. Fire.

THE KING HAS COME WITH A NEW HYMN
This song is relatable asf well for me anyways I saw this song as an ad on instagram so I checked it out and I’m hooked on this guy
Sebastien Woodward u know what this verse means
I'm guessing the first 2 lines him talking to God
why am talkin to a ghost that I've never even seen
and I haven't even heard you speak
but here what does it mean??
and several months goes by so quick
maybe you're just full of shit
you never last I'm sorry I just said that
This guy is SO talented
Your music gives me some much sad joy
wRECk that's ironic but I feel the same
5 seconds in and this is already my favorite music video
Best song to listen to while smoking a joint or two, the lyrics just blow my mind
Keep it burning Matt.
Matt doesn't disappoint. This song like him is FIRE! 🔥🔥🔥🔊🎧🔁 AMaeson song (Amazing + Maeson= AMaeson)
Matt you’ve outdone yourself 👏🏻👏🏻
This is a true treasure
Meeting him back in February was so awesome, really humble guy with crazy talent.
This is so beautiful, to me the guy carrying the chest is a symbolic representation of the spirit of peace (Jesus Christ) and Matt is the symbolic representation of satan after atoning in the flame, loyal to god once more through living in pain and throwing himself into the lake of fire in an act of repentance, morbid curiosity, and mercy before the apocalypse intentionally stop his pain, inadvertently also other’s while Jesus died for our sins.
This is basically everyone’s life story too, boring the bullet so others don’t have too!
Sooo good!!!
He is sooo underrated....This man's voice is insane!!I could listen to it all day!!!
Legit godlike all his music is good I swear.
He REALLY deserves more love and recognition ❤❤❤❤
Dammit I love Matt Maeson
This entire album is fire.
*Lyrics*
My teeth are rottin’ away
I’ve leathered all my skin and my blood is getting thin
And my whole fucking characters changed
I don’t know who I used to be but it certainly isn’t me
Anymore and more I drink I am afraid
That I am just killing myself
Got me fearing for my health
I’m scared is hell just a place on earth
And I pray to god I leave
before Satan pours another drink
I’ve been sleeping like the man,
I’ve been sleeping like the man on fire
I just don’t care that much [x2]
Combustible, confused and free
I no longer see that coast that I always used to see
And I think you’re drifting far from me
Why am I talking to a ghost that I’ve never even seen
And I haven’t even heard you speak
And several months go by so quick
Maybe you’re just full of shit
You’ll never last I’m sorry I said that
Maybe life was just a bet that I lost to drugs and cigarettes
I’ve been sleeping like the man,
I’ve been sleeping like the man on fire
I just don’t care that much [x2]
In my mind I will wander and wait
Til I see your fire escape
My teeth are rotting away
I’ve leathered all my skin and my blood is getting thin
I’m just living like the man,
I’m just living like the man on fire
I just don’t care that much [x2]
Thank you!
It's not I've been sleeping like the man
It's I've been living like the man
Matt maeson already did it and you copied
I love that you don’t sound like everyone else. You are you and it’s fucking amazing!
Thanks apple music for showing me this song, now I'll be on here (TH-cam) listening when I want as well
