You left the string lights twinkling like stars
I tried to navigate by where you are
It hurts to stay close, to keep distance from you
I'm not scared of hard things, but which one to do

Cause I've spun in circles since you killed the magnetic field
I can't find the dipper, I'm stuck with the sword and the shield
I wish I had something that wasn't a blade in my belt
I've been lost since I cut out the love that I felt

Orion, I'm trying my best
He says to keep searching
I just want to rest
I loved you way more than enough
And we had the world but
You still wanted stardust
We had the world but
You still wanted stardust, mm

You left the string lights tangled in knots
I won't replace all the floor lamps you bought
I know that you're gone but I'm not ready yet
It hurts to remember, it's worse to forget

How I spun in circles just trying to give you your space
But all you could see was me dizzy and running in place
I wish I had somewhere to turn to that wasn't the sky
He points out where you went but he won't tell me why

Orion, I'm trying my best
He says to keep searching
I just want to rest
I loved you way more than enough
And we had the world but
You still wanted stardust

Oh stardust, it's all in the name
The sparkle has faded
But we're made of the same
Oh and I loved you
I wish that was enough
But you only saw world where
I could see stardust
You only saw world where
I could see stardust, mm

The UK’s next-wave hard rockers Matted will release their 3rd single ‘Gaslight’ on 7th October 2025.
‘Gaslight’ follows on from their first two singles, ‘Material’ (Feb 2025) and ‘Flowers and Chains’ (Jun 2025) and throws its weight around, revealing an even punchier edge to this innovative band’s developing sound. The 5-piece are influenced by a love of rock music in all its forms.  Grunge, metal, classic, nu, rap, hip-hop and industrial can all be identified here. However, Matted’s fusion of big riffs, melodic vocals and in-your-face drums comes with an irreverence, camaraderie and a cheeky grin creating something fresh and exciting. 

‘Gaslight’ is the third song from the band’s studio sessions with McFly’s Harry Judd and Danny Jones in the producer’s chairs and has been mixed by Lewis Johns. 
Since launching in May 2024, Matted have performed at Download Festival, Call of the Wild and Planet Rockstock, supported Crashface, Armored Saint and Von Hertzen Brothers, and headlined shows in London and Brighton. Radio support has come from BBC Introducing, Total Rock, and Kerrang! Radio, with the latter naming them finalists in The Deal competition 2025.  The hashtag #mattedismassive which the band have adopted, was inspired by an on-air quote from a BBC radio presenter.

Our first bilingual song. With Adrienne

#french. # English # bilingual # the melody # music

Stay with the sound, Élodie,
reste avec moi dans la nuit.
Nothing fades when the heart still hears,
même le silence retient tes pas.

And if this moment is all we keep,
je t’écrirai dans chaque note,
the world asleep, the soul awake,
là où la musique me dévôte.

Élodie…
melody…
éternelle dans la lumière qui tombe.
Élodie…
melody…
que je porte, même quand tout succombe.

Stay with the sound, Ma Codie,
reste avec moi dans la nuit.
Nothing fades when the heart still hears,
même le silence retient tes pas.

And if this moment is all we keep,
je t’écrirai dans chaque note,
the world asleep, the soul awake,
là où la musique me dévore

C'est toi ma Gabie
Toi que j'ai attendue si longtemps
Toi que j'ai reconnue
Dans l'instant

[Verse]
Je me rappelle
C'était un jeudi
À ce que l'on m'a dit
Nous étions dans un bal
Je me rappelle
C'était pas très chic
Mais on avait tout l'temps
Et l'orchestre jouait "J'aime Paris"
Et moi
Je t'aimais déjà
Je t'aimais déjà

[Chorus]
C'est toi ma Gabie
Toi que j'ai attendue si longtemps
Toi que j'ai reconnue
Dans l'instant

[Verse 2]
Moi
Je t'attendais
Toi
Tu n'savais pas
Et ce jour-là
C'est toi qui as décidé
C'est toi qui as dit: "Viens"
On était bien

[Chorus]
C'est toi ma Gabie
Toi que j'ai attendue si longtemps
Toi que j'ai reconnue
Dans l'instant

The sand whispers secrets under my feet
The sun's a hammer pounding heat
Shadows stretch thin
Then they retreat
No mercy here
No room to cheat

[Chorus]
Attack the Atacama
No turning back
Chasing the horizon on a dusty track
Attack the Atacama
The sky’s on fire
Every step burns
But I climb higher

[Verse 2]
Cactus guards hold their silent stance
Bones of the earth in a deadly dance
The wind’s got teeth
It cuts like glass
This desert don’t care if you’re first or last

[Prechorus]
Keep moving
Keep moving
No room for losing

[Chorus]
Attack the Atacama
No turning back
Chasing the horizon on a dusty track
Attack the Atacama
The sky’s on fire
Every step bien 
But I climb higher

[Bridge]
The stars at night
They glare
They judge
The moon don’t care
It won’t budge
Every breath feels like a war
But I’ll keep going
I’ll give it more

[instrumental]

All songs, -music and lyrics - are copyrighted..
As an author - composer, I like to sing, with my natural voice or slightly transformed with different devices, according to my mood. I also play all kinds of keyboards and a little bit of 6-string guitars, both acoustic and electric.I'm pretty old, but I've still got a fairly wide vocal range, though it's getting lower and lower.
I also have a small home studio called Vesuvius( thx Sufjan Stevens! )
I like to work alone, or with two or three partners, male or female, highly qualified.
And I get some much fun to discover amazing new talents on Soudcloud. That's why I follow more people than I'm followed by. I'm just too curious..

Ma Codie
