I’ll survive as a child
All hungry and wild
Life overwhelming is life at the start
I’ll rise up in my youth
Seek personal truth
Fiction alone to fill up my heart

Soon I will wake in the morning and open my eyes
And say, "Oooh, summer day
The dawn of my life"
Soon I will drown in an evening of lovely black sky
And say, "Oooh, summer day
The dawn of my life"

Yes, I’m grinning again
Here with all of my friends
Grace without witness is death on the vine

Acting selfish for years
To be perfectly clear
Giddy with freedom and flush with my time

Soon I will wake in the morning and open my eyes
And say, "Oooh, summer day
The dawn of my life"
Soon I will drown in an evening of lovely black sky
And say, "Oooh, summer day
The dawn of my life"

Death in a Field

“Wooden Cave -- easily one of the best, if not the best album of this horrifying year so far -- does what so many of the best albums do. It creates a unique artistic statement that's a pleasure to hear from start to finish but includes plenty of ugly truths and harsh realities. Matt Longo isn't immune to the horrors of the world, but he knows how to wrap them up in gorgeous, lush, sophisticated songs.”
-Chris Ingalls, PopMatters (9/10)

“That Thin Lear album is amazing.”
-Robin Hilton, NPR Music
