No One To Blame
By: Matt Menovcik

V1 
If none of this matters anymore
Then what are we arguing for?
When truth is really what you believe
And pretending is the way that we live

C 
We tell ourselves what we need to hear
Just to make it through another day
We see ourselves as we want to be 
When really we’re all just the same
There’e really no one to blame

V2
How do we want it to be?
What would really satisfy?
The narrative’s been changed so many times
And all around us is greed

C.

Br
We just can’t stop
We keep moving on 
Why do we race to the end?
Is this what we really want?

C
There’s really no one to blame (x3)
But ourselves

Electro-acoustic musician Matthew Paul Menovcik is equal parts composer, songwriter, arranger, producer, multi-instrumental performer, and singer.  It has been said that "...he's not nearly as famous as Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie), but Matt Menovcik just might be as talented" (Seattle Times). Menovcik has also been hailed as a "top-rate songwriter" (Seattle Weekly). After spending most of the 00’s recording and touring with DIY indie rock acts and collaborations including Saeta, Ms. Led, and ROPE, INC. (with infamous producer Kramer), Menovcik decided to turn his attention to composition and film scoring, while never leaving his roots as a songwriter.
Inspired by minimalism, pop and ambient, Menovcik creates a rich sonic sonic world and a uniquely inspired voice.  Menovcik has released many critically acclaimed albums on labels such as Ghost Records (Italy), Second Shimmy, Tarnished, Ippylu and Fish The Cat. His 2014’s Alone, With You was released under his own name.  The many films featuring Matt’s work and specifically written scores include Silvio Soldini’s Days and Clouds, Cesar Lanza’s La Perfezionista, and Faith Vs. Fate’s Run, Hide, Die (AKA The Anniversary).
Menovcik’s most recent release, In An Enclosed Space, is his first singer songwriter album since Alone, With You. It was two years in the making during which time he experienced the end of a marriage and a world changed by disease and social upheaval. It begins with the words "Turn the lights out in this room, let the darkness wash right over you" and ends with "We just didn't try, just couldn't see a better way to be together." The in-between is filled with the struggle, the pain and the persistence to keep searching for A Hope To Carry On.
