Matt Walden - Puttin' Up A Fight

To Rate
In another cafe in the rain on the boulevard
I can’t help but still see your face

Still salty bout the unread text from the month before
I can’t help but feel like I’ve been replaced

Oh does he text you good mornin?
Does he text you good night?
Do you show him your outfits?
Does he think that it’s tight?
Does he buy you a coffee?
Does he take you for drinks?
Are you blinded by lust?
Or do you care what he thinks?

But I’m back to the seat I’ve been sitting in
The new barista winks and I’m listenin'

She said I can tеll that you’re sad
I can see it in your eyes
Yеah you're sitting there coffee cold, staring at the sky

I won’t ask what’s wrong
Cuz I don’t know what’s right
Oh life’s too short so keep putting up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
Keep puttin' up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine

Suns up now I’m walking these streets
Things are looking up
Finally got a smile on my face
Headed downtown
I need to get a drink to celebrate
Oh that’s when I see her look my way

Oh could I text her good morning?
Would she text me good night?
Maybe take her for coffee?
Learn the places she likes

Show her off to my parents
Wait I’m getting to ahead
Are these thoughts all intrusive?
I’d really like her in my bed like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
Keep puttin' up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine

Hey, uh

I guess this is moving on
I can see the light
The bitterness is gone
And love is on my mind
This is moving on
I can see the light
The bitterness is gone
Love is, love is on my mind

Love is on my mind
(Love is on my mind)

She said I’d text you good mornin
Said I'd text you goodnight
Trade you a coffee tomorrow for a drink tonight

You’re looking better already
Had a feeling you might
I’m really glad that you made it
So let’s have a good time like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
Keep puttin' up a fight like

I’m gonna be alright
I keep puttin' up a fight like
I’m gonna be just fine
I keep puttin' up a fight

Music has always been my escape.

At the age of 15, I started writing songs in my room stemming from heartbreak and hormones. Posting originals and quick covers on YouTube of artists such as The Maine , All Time Low, & Ed Sheeran.

Come 2014, I moved out of the house and resided in my hometown of Bradenton, FL. to utilize the recording opportunities via the Del Couch Music Education Foundation. All in the meanwhile, building a small following via Vine (R.I.P.).

In the next few years, things got real.

I quit my job in 2015 to fully dedicate my time to creating music. During this time, some unfortunate events occurred & left me in a ‘homeless’ situation. Living on friends couches and spending each day in the studio working with Raven Chapman to create the ‘Life – EP’ released in 2015.

After that release, I had a bit of a revelation. Music was how I escape from all the rough patches in my life; what if I could help give that same type of escape to other people?

I wrote ‘Breathe.’ in October of 2016 about my dealings with suicide, depression & overall negative thoughts I had. Hoping to spark hope in not only myself but others who may be dealing with things similar to what I went through.

The goal is one thing. Create an escape for others.

Whether the songs are fun, sad, or confused; making each show & track about being someone else’s escape is the ultimate plan.
