Love, Go Far

lyrics:
starving now, it gets pretty bad
you saw it all get split in half
about every bridge has been collapsed
old friends of mine slowly detached
i think it's all my fault
questioning if i'm wrong
how do i make it stop
can't rest at all

one call was all i needed
right now, i feel completed
2019 is over
been four years and got lower
though, for me it stood out
bleed to just hear one sound
i'd die to hear that noise
the calmness of your voice
i knew how it'd turn out
soon you'd be leaving town
and i couldn't bare that thought
was hard to move on
32 degrees, lungs get colder by the second
been through hell and out
it's like there's some type of obsession
wondering the choice you made if you've ever regret it
if you gotta say something why don't you come confess it
everytime you mention how, i need to find me
don't know what ur tryna say
don't know what u mean
i think ur just saying words
you're just saying things
even you confuse yourself
you don't know what to think
the reason why i live is to hope for a day
to finally see guidance leading ur way
wonder how to start, wonder where i go
all of it requires leaving my home
been through a bit and so much has gone
you don't gotta be sorry if i went through a lot
i can see us starting a family
i think it's the only thing that'll help me

starving now, it gets pretty bad
you saw it all get split in half
about every bridge has been collapsed
old friends of mine slowly detached
i think it's all my fault
questioning if i'm wrong
how do i make it stop
can't rest at all
heart's pounding strong
been up for hours
the sun's almost up
like how do i do it
she say, "where you been"
no where
just haven't checked my phone to use it
it's all gone down in carnage
debris in my lungs
wake up, feel like garbage
and get my yeti cup
i'm obsessed, pop a can of caffeine
even 300mg can barely do a thing to me

carnage

This is my most original effort to date and marks a whole new chapter in music by Sidestep. It's definitely an epic at 14 tracks and 76 minutes in length! I thought long and hard about removing songs to make it shorter but I couldn't. Each song is very important to me and although certain ones take on different moods they all contribute to paint a larger picture that is "Northern Lights." It's for this reason that many of the songs have counterparts or sister tracks that complement each other. My goal with many of the sounds on this album was to create a sense of something big... Something as big as the Aurora Borealis or Aurora Australis. My hope is that at the very least you can find one track on this album that takes you somewhere that feels as epic as watching the Sun use Earth's magnetic field to paint the skies with light. Please give it a listen and if you have something to say, let me know! Any feedback is appreciated! I love to hear what people have to say about the music I put out there... Especially if you feel strongly in any aspect of it! 

Happy Listening! :)

I'm sitting in a haze in the passenger seat
You've got your foot to the floor 
And you're grinding your teeth
It's so useless to get mad at them
The drivers in their cars
And your life and your friends

They're gonna break your heart
And get their way in the end

I'm stepping on the streets
In a familiar town
And see a couple college freshman
fucking around
It's so useless to try to get through to them
Those misinformed geniuses will
Play pretend

Until they can break your heart
And get their way in the end

Laying in the bed 
Of the one that you love
But you can never sleep
Because you're thirsty for fun
Its so useless to force a life you'll never keep
But you're too busy making promises 
To ever stop
To breath and say

"I'm gonna break your heart
And run away in the end."

Graduation Day

I own more half-read books 
than good looks 
But I can fake a smile 
and I can take my time with them 

I make more plans 
than good friends 
But I will take the ride 
And I’ll stay out all night 

I get a little lost sometimes, 
I get better 
I get dark sometimes 

I see more accidents 
than intent 
save magazines for lonely eyes 
cuz yellow teeth, they tell no lies 
now everything has been reversed 
i’m walking forwards to my birth. 


aaAAAaahhHHHH

Who'll Come Back for You?

Hi! I'm Matt Estep and I study Sound Recording Technology at Fredonia. I started making and posting music on my personal Facebook profile under this name way back in 2011. I started with mashups of some of my favorite songs but as I became more and more involved with the music, I wound up forming my own ideas and making songs of my own. When I write and produce music for Sidestep I use skills that I've learned at my school as well as on my own and I always try to keep things fresh and interesting. I have a variety of musical influences ranging from The Beatles to Muse and to M83.

I write mostly instrument based electronic music but I'm definitely not afraid to stray away from my comfort zone in terms of genres. I love listening to and writing music that can bring me back to any point in my life - no matter how distant - and make me feel again as I once did. I strive to include that in my music and because much of my music is ambiguous my hope is that you develop your own ideas about what each song is about because once you press play, the song is yours. There is no right or wrong answer, there is only you and the music.
