Wandering Ghosts🌌

Matt Sayers Collection

Jericho - Single

Jericho

Matt's latest EP 'Sail On' features a collection of intimate lyrically-driven songs, with the title track delivering raw honesty with lines such as 'this is all i've got to give, a simple song on a long drive home'. Listening to this EP is a taster of Matt's identity. From grappling with the passing of time in 'Dancing Girl' and the need to slow down - 'hold me for a little while dancing girl' and the intimate reminiscing of 'Keep You In My Mind' 's faint piano accompanying the soft vocal hum of the bridge, the EP creates an atmosphere of memories.

New Indie Folk Update - May 14, 2021

words and music K. Gennery
Image of my 20 track recorder. This song has 32 tracks on it. 
More bouncing than Jane Russell on a trampoline......



Same shit different day time to hit the road,
head over to pastures new, on the way I'm gonna dump this heavy load.
Cause the grass is always greener, so they say,
Pack my bags a few goodbyes and I'm on my way.

Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.

I'm a man of the world.

Faint heart never won fair maiden and thats my stance,
Nothing here but disapointments, gonna go and take another chance.
I dream, I scream, can't breathe, got to get away,
You've done all your contemplating, so what do you say?

Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
Lets go, lets go, leave our troubles all behind
(This lifes for living, doesn't stop it giving me the bird)
cause you have your share and I've got mine.
I'm a man of the world.

lets go

Wish upon
A shining star
 Find what burns
In your heart

 Drink from the fountain
It’s water from the mountain 
Let it wash over you
If it feels alright to 

And if you are 
Unsure of 
The way things go 
Don’t give up 
Don’t lose hope 

 Drink from the fountain
It’s water from the mountain 
Let it wash over you
If it feels alright to
 
Put your hands 
By the fire 
We’re a long way from home 
Try to stay warm 
Rest your eyes
 If you’re tired
I’ll hold you in my arms
Keep you safe from the storm

From the storm
From the storm

Wild Dreams

I came back from California
By way of Arizona
I spent ten long days looking for a place to hide
I saw the mountains rolling
And I saw the cactus growing
And I saw storms running on the desert sky

And back there on the West Coast
I always wore a rain coat
And my feet never were quite staying dry
But I heard there was a fortune
And if you bet your hand to find it
You'd be a richer man for the rest of your life

And I, I've walked forever
By every mountain, redwood and pine
And I know
I've been gone forever
But honey I'm coming back for you this time
And usually I do as I'm told
But I'm telling you and I are as
Rare as gold

Hold my hand in Appalachia
You know that I won't blame ya
If you search me out to see what's inside
Now I'm home in Pennsylvania
Heaven knows that I can't save ya
But I'd love to be the wind that helps you fly

And I, I've walked forever
By every mountain, every white birch and pine
And I know
I've been gone forever
But honey, I'm coming back for you this time
And usually I do as I'm told
But I'm telling you and I
Are as rare

And I coulda' settled down in Santa Fe
But I know we got somethin'
And I just wanna call it's name
And I could've messed around on those northern plains
But that big sky country
Got nothin' on this summer rain

And I, I've walked forever
By every mountain, hollow and pine
And I know
I've been gone forever
But honey I'm coming back for you this time
And usually I do as I'm told
But I'm telling you and I are as
Rare as gold

"To us, this song is a reminder that we all need a time and place to slow down. Whether it’s going for a daily walk, paddling downstream or enjoying a campfire in good company, it’s so important to let life flow a little bit slower and cherish the memories that come from that."

📝 Lyrics:

Straight lines, Empty spaces
Untied, Out of patience
All because of me

Sore eyes, Hiding places
Still nights, Endless waiting
In and out of sleep
Will it always be…

A mystery
Will there always be a missing part of me?
Thinking back on all the things I couldn’t see
In front of me
A mystery

Almost, Set in motion
Untold, Never spoken
All because of me
Will it always be

A mystery
Will there always be a missing part of me?
Thinking back on all the things I couldn’t see
In front of me
A mystery

A mystery
(bgv - mystery)
Will it always be
Be a mystery 

A mystery
Will there always be a missing part of me?
Thinking back on all the things I couldn’t see
In front of me
A mystery

Sød Ven - Mystery (with lyrics)

Haven (from Life Is Strange)

‘Oh’ was written in one sitting. Caught totally off guard, I saw a photo of someone who used to be a huge part of my life, and this song just poured out.

Lyrics:

by now my skin won’t know your skin
and by now your voice won’t sound the way that it did
when we were young
in those endless fields

oh
there you are
it’s been so long
since I’ve seen your face
oh
there you are
and here I am
so damn far away

by now your touch won’t feel the same
and by now you won’t look at me the way that you did
when we were alone
in those endless fields

but my bones
will always know your bones
and my eyes have seen your ways
young lover
I know that we are strangers
but in my heart
you stay

oh
there you are
it’s been so long
since I’ve seen your face
oh
there you are
and here I am
so damn far away

Nestled in the soulful embrace of indie folk, Matt Sayers, a singer-songwriter with a penchant for heartfelt storytelling, draws inspiration from the revered Laurel Canyon troubadours of the 70s—think Jackson Browne and Joni Mitchell. In the contemporary tapestry of his sound, echoes of Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Gundersen, and the Milk Carton Kids find a home.

Matt's lyrical wanderings often lead to introspective destinations, where the human experience is laid bare. Tracks like "Dancing Girl" grapple with the weight of mortality, while "Jericho" speaks to the universal search for a place to call home. His melodies carry a delicate balance, blending the old-world charm of Laurel Canyon with a modern touch that resonates with today's listeners.

As a musical storyteller, Matt invites you to join him on a journey of self-discovery. Each note, each lyric, is an invitation to explore the intricate contours of the human soul. With authenticity as his guide, Matt's songs become a mirror reflecting the shared emotions and experiences that bind us all. In the gentle strumming of his guitar and the warmth of his voice, Matt finds a timeless connection that speaks to the heart.
