I started this from scratch with different people and different production 3 different times and they were all good in their own way but it never really felt like it had found it’s DNA until, after sitting on it for 2 years, my friend Owen Lewis and I went into the studio and live tracked it with a 5 piece band and it came together immediately. Who knew all it needed was 6 dudes in a room jamming for a few hours. Thank you so much to every person involved in the making of this record all along the way. Hope y’all enjoy, hope it makes you happy or sad or angry or whatever it may be, I hope it makes you feel something.
It couldn't of dropped at a more perfect time, Thank You so much for pushing forward until things fell into place. The amount of work speaks for itself when listening to it
I’m in love with your music I’ve been here since the beginning please never stop you make me strive to keep writing that maybe one day I can make music and make it even half this well
"Get Happy" My mama said You're gonna drink it till you're dead But I need it now More than I ever really did I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead My mama cried Almost every single night And I dug the dirt Till every party of me was hurt I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead I can't wait till tomorrow I can't wait till tomorrow I can't wait till tomorrow Oh, I can't wait till tomorrow I can't wait till tomorrow While these thoughts They all leech from my head I can't wait till I jump Off the ledge I'll just get happy instead Like you said I'll just get happy instead
Seriously Matt...youve become both my wife and I's favorite music artist. Over the past few years you have become our noat played music. Keep expressing yourself man. Ive set a goal, Im a photographer in the Indianapolis/Chicago area and I want to photograph your set. Dont know when, but itll be an honor.
That's so awesome! Wish my hubby loved Matt's music as much as I do!! It's gotta be amazing sitting there and thoroughly enjoying it together, especially when a new song comes out!!
Wow. I seriously just clicked on this song because I am obsessed with his other songs and I really like this song as well. I am so glad I found him. He is such a good artist.
❤ I don’t think you understand how much your music touches me and gets me through my tough times in life! You are a real artist with real music!!! Much love to you!!!!! ❤❤❤
Seriously, never connected with music from anyone this much since I found Matt Maeson. His demons were mine as well. The talent and emotion he puts into everything is beyond inspirational!
I cannot express what your music has done for me.. ive delt with alot of dark shit in my life , still am .. but music like this , like his, truly has a way of guiding a soul like my own.. i cant wait till i save uo enough to go see him perform live in person . Who knows maybe ill hear one or two that saved my life . Genuinely, thank you for your passion.
Hey Matt!! Not sure if your going to be seeing this but your ability to make music that hits so deeply with raw emotion and power has seriously helped me through the darkest time in my life... I can't express how much you've helped me not only get through tough times with putting out songs that I can so closely relate to and really think about, but you have given me the motivation to start making my own music that allows me to express myself in any given way. You seriously have changed my life and many more... Thank you.
Damn. Getting discharged from hospital tomorrow after checking myself in for alcohol abuse, been terrified of having a panic attack/relapsing when I get home. Holy fuck a song hasn't hit my soul so hard. Almost induced a panic attack, like the fucking song was written for me. Great song, Matt. Your songs touch lives, I mean that.
Matt Maeson has the most amazing old soul for his young body. He is truly one of the most gifted lyricists alive! I hold him in the same all-time class with Jack White and Chris Cornell. His music is beloved by both myself and my young son. Thank you Matt and crew for making us feel....
Ive always felt matt maeson on an entirely different level than any other artist. From my spirit to my physical body. It's felt and that's art. Thanks Matt. ❤
This song is definitely making me feel a lot. Sadness. Awe. It is a work of art and there is a lot to unpack here. Getting happy instead of giving into suicidal ideation, but here "getting happy" is a metaphor for drink (or any other sort of unhealthy coping mechanism). And the discordant and intense undertones in the music paired with Matt's emotional vocals all saying he's not happy, but actually quite bitter. I feel like I can close my eyes and see a story in this song, and I can feel that bitterness and sadness and frustration. I love it. I can relate. It's why I love your music. It's amazing.
The bitterness takes it a step further, because "I'll just 'Get Happy' instead" could sound like a scoffed remark in response to someone telling the singer to suck it up, or that they need to get over themselves. Why are you upset? Just make yourself happy!
I was more under the impression that "he's" mocking other's advice for him. If you've ever been ACTUALLY diagnosed with depression some folks don't understand what that actually means and will say things like "you just need to have a better outlook", "have a better attitude", "why not just be happy?" So he's basically saying in response to that advice "yeah I'll just 'get happy' 'like you said'. I can't wait till tomorrow so I'm sure just suddenly 'getting happy' will be the immediate fix." Using sarcasm to illustrate how much harder it is to cope and feel better than some folks think.
@@lupusmalum6103 After reading your comment and listening to it again, I think you're right. It's bitter either way, but I think the story here is drinking to escape your problems and being told something along the lines of "that's not the way. you need to xyz to be happier" and then being bitter about it and mocking about such clueless, useless advice because just "getting happy" is not that simple. But definitely mocking the people who say stuff like "just cheer up"
You’re my new favorite artist, everything you write feels like it was written just for me. Thank you for doing what you do it seriously keeps me going.
You're music is so incredible!! You find every emotion and thought I can't express and you sing it out loud!!! Thanks for being you and sharing with us!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Every time i listen to your music, you always sing and play exactly how I am feeling in the moment. thank you for existing.. I wish I could have the same impact.
Cringe was great!! I fell in love after Hallucinogenics! I'm happy to say I've loved almost every track he's ever made!! There's just something about him!!
Dude every single song hits me in a different way and I relate so much to them all. I'm going through a lot now but have came a long way from who I used to be! Your music has helped me to do that. I have a lot of love for you brother haven't even met you but I get it and respect tf out of you for your honesty and vulnerability in your music. That what helps us to really grow and help others. God bless you Matt!
I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MUSIC SMSMSM!! I really hope I can see you perform live one of these days. ❤❤❤ loved you since I heard Hallucinogenics on the radio. Love from Manitoba! ~liz
I love this song and I love Gerb the ghost. Hard to believe it's been a year and a week since "A Memory Away" -- it feels both more recent and an eternity ago.

"Get Happy"
My mama said
You're gonna drink it till you're dead
But I need it now
More than I ever really did
I can't wait till tomorrow
While these thoughts
They all leech from my head
I can't wait till I jump
Off the ledge
I'll just get happy instead
Like you said
I'll just get happy instead
I can't wait till tomorrow
While these thoughts
They all leech from my head
I can't wait till I jump
Off the ledge
I'll just get happy instead
Like you said
I'll just get happy instead
My mama cried
Almost every single night
And I dug the dirt
Till every party of me was hurt
I can't wait till tomorrow
While these thoughts
They all leech from my head
I can't wait till I jump
Off the ledge
I'll just get happy instead
Like you said
I'll just get happy instead
I can't wait till tomorrow
I can't wait till tomorrow
I can't wait till tomorrow
Oh, I can't wait till tomorrow
I can't wait till tomorrow
While these thoughts
They all leech from my head
I can't wait till I jump
Off the ledge
I'll just get happy instead
Like you said
I'll just get happy instead
Thanks g ✨🤙🏻
Is it every part of me? Not party...🤔
Thanks!
@@laurentiupirvu2487 it's every part.
I'm going through the worst time of my life and your music is absolutely saving me from making the worst decision. Thank you.
Same here, in ways. Definitely that part & trying so hard to not make that decision.
Keep going. Both of you. Don’t give up
For my sister. I wish you were here Annie
Ikr
Matt, this song soothes something in my soul. I feel like it perfectly encapsulates people's impatience with healing and recovery.
You’re music is literally the best thing ever. Fighting off a panic attack and your music is keeping me grounded ❤ Keep it up 🥰
Love that you’re giving compliments while fighting off that anxiety. Thank you. Sending peaceful vibes
This helps you stave off a panic attack? I mean that's great and I am glad for you but this song gets my blood up
Ikr... same for me. It's good stuff
If the upcoming album will sound like this song and rational, I swear it will be in my select list of best albums in history ❤❤❤
Agreed
YES!!!!! although I really love 'Never Had To Leave'
@@andrewkatesmith44 well, we're talking about Matt Maeson, he puts out masterpieces ☺️😉😊
When I’m having a shitty day like today, I listen to Matt. He soothes my soul.
This shit slaps. You never release a bad song. A true master of your craft. It's incredible.

BABE WAKE UP MATT MAESON DROPPED A NEW SONG
The teasers for this song had me bouncing, the final thing is not disappointing one BIT
Also these messages are getting really relatable
This song gives me the motivation to end it all.~ Thank you for this gift, Maeson.❤
I really hope you didn't.
