The Moment 04:32
The Moment I might have known in a better moment but Love the moment was not on my side Sometimes you do things and sometimes you won't and it feels like you will things but maybe you don't I go to the bottom bring my pearl a pearl she's seen enough for one little girl I know home just isn't home ever since it happened and I know Love I know it was happening all the time All the time All the time All the time I might have known in a better moment but Love the moment was not on my mind Sometimes you do things and sometimes you won't and it feels like you will things but maybe you don't I go to the bottom bring my pearl a pearl she's seen enough for one little girl I know home just isn't home ever since it happened and I know Love I know it was happening all the time All the time All the time All the time

Billy 02:41
Billy Billy in the lowground Billy getting high Billy be my lover before I die Who would blame a soul for living while they can When the light gets low Billy take my hand Isn't there somewhere we can be alone Isn't there somewhere we can be alone Billy in the lowground Billy by the sea Billy in the backseat Just park it in the trees Isn't there somewhere we can be alone Isn't there somewhere we can be alone Billy I am happy Billy I am free Billy love has found us Billy you and me Billy in the open for everyone to see Billy is this happening? Billy this is my dream Billy take me somewhere I have never been Billy take me somewhere I have never been

Don’t Lie About Your Dreams Don’t lie about your dreams if you can’t tell the truth Keep it to yourself like a seed underneath the soil with everything it needs You can feel the seasons coming from a ways Lighting searing open the Sky and You and I Yeah you can feel the seasons Here comes everything we need Here comes everything we need Don’t lie about your dreams If you can’t tell the truth Keep it to yourself Like a seed Underneath the soil With everything it needs

Hospital 03:25
Hospital You don't have to do this Put yourself through this I know they don't give you options but listen to me I've got some land that you could die on a field a forest Your face in the breeze Hospital schmospital! The highway at sunrise! I love how you love the window rolled down I'll call everyone and they'll meet us out there It might happen fast but we'll all be there Just say the word and I'll make it happen a field a forest and all of your friends

Texas Peach 02:10
Texas Peach I wrote you a poem about a warm texas peach you let slip from your mouth before we messed up the sheets in that little motel with the window wide open You were freezing but I wanted to hear the rain And I wonder if you've ever read the damned thing You were already leaving You were already gone And how I love you for leaving How we both have moved on In the market this morning I let myself taste a peach and it took me to Texas and my god was it sweet

Sun Keeps Shining (Down and Inside) Love keeps shining through the clouds like sunshine on a day when I could use it On a day when I’ve been down and inside for so so long Down and Inside for so so long Love keeps shining through the clouds like sunshine on a day when I could use it On a day when I’ve been brooding and it feels like the 47th of December Like the moon got stuck Like the moon got stuck My eyes keep laughing and I’m feeling fine I don’t give a damn if it’s been some time I just shake it off and get to walking Shoulders down and Breathin easy Nowhere to be and all day to get there Nowhere to be and all day to get there Love keeps shining through the clouds Like sunshine on a day when I could use it On a day when I’ve been down and inside for so so long Down and inside for so so long Down and inside for so so long Down and inside for so so long

True Needs 03:45
True Needs (NBD) Sometimes I get to feeling like I'm stuck Like I'm just looking looking looking for some way that I should choose to change this But somehow I know Somehow I know If I hold out long enough If I hold out long enough Sometimes its Fuck! What's the point of even trying? Would I know a good thing if I saw it? Would I know a good thing if I saw it? Sometimes I think if I don't act if I don't do something it's never going to happen But somehow I know Somehow I know If I hold out long enough If I hold out long enough Right then the right thing will be right there to do And I'll just do it NBD Are these the true needs of the moment? Are these the true needs of the moment? Are these the true needs of the moment? Somehow I know Somehow I know If I hold out long enough If I hold out long enough Right then the right thing will be right there to do And I’ll just do it NBD

You Deserve a Love Song You deserve a love song You deserve it all Dreams you never dreamed of Every little dream you can’t recall Coming home to something coming home to you Some of us have a got a big bill coming Some of us already paid We’re gonna get what’s coming at the end of the day you’re going to get what you deserve You deserve a love song

about

Matt Foster Winnipeg, Manitoba

Never quite what you’d expect, Matt Foster is truly unplaceable. Matt moves the room, stirring something in the crowd, without drawing any attention. The music grinds, pops and surprises. At turns soft and lilting, at turns careening out of lane.
