In the midst of my rock and roll endeavors around 2008 I began to find
my own story to tell, not to mention my own sound of creation.
I use my own experiences with the influence of everyday inspirations
to write the lyrics you will hear in my music. For example; “Learning to Fly”
shows some of my personal spirituality, walk, and prayer in contrast with one who is homeless, and
faithless. “50 Years” is a poetic expression of losing someone either through something on
the surface such as a break up, or even through something as difficult & deep as death.
I like to think of my art as something that’s rented out and shared, but will always belong to me.
I try to keep my lyrics general so everyone can relate in some way, I want to help
the world become a place of acceptance and appreciation, rooted by love and expression,
much less status, and greed. I want the people to listen to my story and find peace..
even if it’s only peace in one little area of your life.
I’m Mat Musto and this is me
Mat Musto was born in Pennsylvania but moved to Daytona Beach FL when he was a child. Having picked up a guitar at the tender age of 6 years old he never looked back. He is the self proclaimed “Johnny Depp” of music, and this is his story.
Mat Musto has been lingering in the underground scene for years.
He’s won fans over with his smooth melodic flow on two EP’s “Contrast”
and “Brightness” & one LP “Exposure” along with his ability to connect to his audience throughreal lyrics and coast to coast appeal.
Having already worked with the music industry's most sought after artist/producers, Machine Gun Kelly, Nate Walka, Rivers Cuomo, Mike Posner & Ne-Yo to just name a few, Mat is ready to burst onto the music and entertainment scene in 2011.

Mat Musto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I played a string for every year i lived
I was 13 when you got sick
But i knew we could push through it
I didn't really say that i love you
But you knew, you knew, you knew
Down and out, through and through
You know i'll always love you
I just hope we'll be together again
And i don't know where i'll be, where i'll ve in 50 years
All i know is where i've been
And we can start again
Cause we were little kids back then
So where have you been
You haven't called
I guess you haven't missed me at all
We were 17 thinkin' we're in love
We were 18 when we broke up
I didn't really say that i love you
But you knew, you knew, you knew
Down and out, through and through
You know i'll always love you
I don't know where we'll be, where we'll be in 50 years
I just hope we'll be together again
I don't know where i'll be, where i'll be in 50 years
All i know is where i've been
We can start again
Cause we were kids back then
It started out 'bout three weeks ago
I got that letter than you wrote
I studied every line that it read
It started out with the line that i said
I didn't say that i loved you
But you knew you knew
Down and out, through and through
You know i'll be always love you
I don't know where i'll be, where i'll be in 50 years
I just hope we'll be together again
I dont know where j'll be, where i'll be in 50 years
all i know is where i've been
We can start again
Cause we were kids back then
