Up in the Trees

Someone’s changing her mind without a plan of action
Loosely drawing a line between points A and B
Now she’s hoping to find another new distraction
And I tend to see so much of her in me
Someone’s turning away from everyone around him
Always ready to say he’d rather be alone
Now the truth of his claim is starting to astound him
And I feel part if his world like it’s my own
Some people just can’t help but imitate
I wonder, can you relate?

In my mind there’s a true sad story for everybody that I’ve ever known
I though I’d find it’s just fiction for glory, that everyone’s happy to be alive
But every time I let it go, there’s an answer I don’t know
And now in my mind there’s a new sad story but I am never gonna let it show

Someone’s losing the fight against their alter ego
Failing, try as they might to walk the borderline
Now they’re holding so tight to what they’d rather see go
And I face their dilemma as if it’s mine, I feel inclined
‘Cause choosing our battles can be an easy as one two three
But choosing who to care about will be the death of me

In my mind there’s a true sad story for everybody that I’ve ever known
I thought I’d find it’s just fiction for glory, that everyone’s happy to be alive
But every time I let it be, the solution I can’t see
And now in my mind there’s a new sad story but I am never gonna set it free

Someone’s giving up too fast
Someone’s inner peace won’t last
Someone’s wasting all their time
Someone’s living a lie

In my mind there’s a true sad story for everybody that I’ve ever known
I thought I’d  find it’s just fiction for glory, that everyone’s happy to be alive
But every time I let it go, there’s an answer I don’t know
And now in my mind there’s a new sad story but I am never gonna let it show

Our New Home

Dante Matas is a singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist from Toronto. He began by writing instrumental piano pieces at the age of eight before forming his first band at Etobicoke School of the Arts where he majored in visual art. In university, Dante studied philosophy and completed an MA in the field. Today, Dante combines his wide-ranging interests to make his own unique brand of indie/bedroom pop, psychedelic folk, and electronic music. Dante’s music tends to have a contemplative and introspective character to it, but never at the expense of a catchy melody.

  	After releasing A Colourful Headache LP, Midnight Sun EP, and various singles like Talking To Yourself between 2017-2019, Dante will be steadily putting out new singles and EPs each month in 2021. The singles will be grouped into several EPs spanning different genres, moods, and musical landscapes. The first new EP is called The Place I Want to Be and will start with the release of the single On Solid Ground on March 12th, 2021. 

 	Dante’s music has been used in commercials, PSAs, popular YouTube channels, and gets airplay on both Canadian and American college and specialty radio. Dante writes and records daily, has toured throughout Canada with his band, and has recently taken up video production and art direction for his music. Dante’s overall drive is to communicate human emotion through music and lyrics in a way that resonates with a diverse audience.
