Lyrics: 
I thought I had a monopoly 
the only one who got to feel 
sad, to say, I almost can’t 
decide if I want to stay around

I thought I had a monopoly 
at acting out, being hard to read
the only one to feel unease
the only one hard to please

I know I act like I don't care about you
but I would love for you to stay around
I hope you haven’t changed your mind

I thought I had a monopoly 
the only one to ever breathe
in with such difficulty
the only one who got to leave

I know I act like I don't care about you
but I would love for you to stay around
I hope you haven’t changed your mind
I know I act like I don't care about you
but I would have loved for you to stay around
I hope I haven’t changed your mind

I know I act like I don't care about you
but I would love for you to stay around
I hope you haven’t changed your mind
I know I act like I don't care about you
but I would have loved for you to stay around
I hope I haven’t changed your mind

Matte Black (Theme Song)
Performed at Pine Ridge Fall Festival (September 17, 2023)

If you follow me down every black hole,
I promise we'll end up with nothing to show,
But there'll be dancing and strings,
And an engine that sings,
Runs on self reliance and burning hot coals
I need an existential, influential , free thinking mind,
Who can fly me round the universe for hours at a time,
Who's unsure, but sensitive and knows where he stands,
Accepts that everything dies,
Before you do the dance
A dark matter band
A dark matter band
A dark

A Yankee Schooley mountain man from the hills of the northern sky,
Wondered how he should live his life, and what it means to die
That clergy man said don't you worry your mortal head,
Just like Jesus Christ we'll all rise from the dead

Hallelujah praise the lord! Wouldn't that be nice?  
But the absurd and the darkness never close their eyes. 
And that young mountain man saw through those fearful lies,
And wrote songs about the cosmos and the injustices of life

With a fire in his belly and a hat upon his head,
He called on his intrepid traveling friends
They picked on songs of freedom, wailed on songs of change,
And they sand about the glory of the end

Ashes to ashes, cash to cash,
Bring out the man in black
For the forgotten and the old, 
And all them stories never told
Bring out the man in black 

As bold as a Red Wing Black Bird that haunts the meadow land marsh,
Wandered this wild wide country on every cat tail in every bar
Plays for everyone and no one,
With tears rolling down his face
The Garden is starting to look more and more life space
Sometimes he fought like and won,
The oldest of 3 sons,
He lived for the exception and the exception's what he was
But you can't stop time,
And everything dies

Ashes to ashes, cash to cash,
Bring out the man in black
For that ever hovering death,
And so much doesn't make sense so,
Bring out the man in black 

Everyone's a hypocrite,
And god don't give a shit
I'm at my best,
When I'm at my saddest

The dance is uncertain and it's fast,
And nothing's so much more than that,
So bring out...

If you follow me down every black hole,
I promise we'll end up with nothing to show,
But there'll be dancing and strings,
And an engine that sings,
Runs on self reliance and burning hot coals
I need an existential, influential , free thinking mind,
Who can fly me round the universe for hours at a time,
Who's unsure, but sensitive and knows where he stands,
Accepts that everything dies,
Before you do the dance
A dark matter band
A dark matter band
A dark matter band

"Factory Weather" 
Recorded at The Watermelon Room on 12.19.23
Music & Lyrics: Madison Gerish 
Electric Guitar:  Daniel Skinner
Bass Guitar: Ian Finch
Drums Miles: Huffman 
Acoustic Guitar & Vocals: Madison Gerish

"Are these bastards breaking hearts just for the content?
Now I’m drowning in conversation and champagne
At the risk of sounding rather redundant
Some shit about time and pain
And factory weather always stays the same

Am I awake? Or am I just dreaming?
I’ve been waltzing with your ghost with no overtime
Am I tripping? Are the walls really breathing?
Since you’re gone, I’m back to walking white lines

I think I’ll adopt a piano like a stray
Give it my heart and play with it everyday
An old upright knows how it feels to be kicked to the curb
But it ain’t over til it’s over
And I got more songs you still haven’t heard

Am I dead? Or am I just bleeding?
Oh now Doctor can you give me something for the pain?
I’m the thundabitch, before the lightning
If it ain’t written in blood
It ain’t worth cutting the vein
And factory weather always stays the same

Factory Weather LIVE at The Watermelon Room 12.19.23

The Luxembourg Signal - Mourning Moon

From the many musical lives of artist Glenn Donaldson emerges The Reds, Pinks and Purples, a project that sifts out the purest elements of pop music and in the process chronicles the point of view of an assiduous songwriter. His new album "Uncommon Weather" is both an elusive portrait of San Francisco -- during one of its fluctuations as an untenable place for musicians and artists -- and also a self-portrait of a songwriter who has dispatched another treasured collection of timeless sounding DIY-pop songs. Self-recorded and mostly self-performed, the music on "Uncommon Weather" continuously reckons with the influence of The Television Personalities' Dan Treacy, as well as The Cleaners From Venus, Blueboy, East River Pipe, and the Cherry Red and Flying Nun labels. Beautiful, mysterious and rather perfect pop.

Uncommon Weather

The Reds, Pinks & Purples - The Biggest Fan

The Adventures of Matte Black is a Gothic Americana band led by Madison Gerish & Daniel Skinner, featuring a rotating line-up of their intrepid traveling friends. Madison's philosophical, vulnerable and disarming lyrics dance with Daniel's subtle yet moving melodies, all while leaving space for their talented caravan of musical comrades. The music is rooted in deep improvisation and an emphasis on being courageous when facing the absurdities of life.
