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.

September
Mat Musto Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got some money and some clothes
Laying on my bed,
But I'd rather have you laying there instead.

And I've got an old guitar,
Some songs,
And singing bars,
But I'd rather have your attention.

And as for me,i can't be seeing
What your seein me,i must be blind.

And she's falling asleep
On the pull-out couch next to me.
And I'll be counting sheep
Til the sun comes out,
From under the trees.

I must have left,
Open my head
When you stepped out of my dreams last night,
And into my life,
Into my life.

(lyrics submitted by Savannah.)

I've got some problems
But, we've all got a few.
And i tried sleeping on either side
But it doesn't stop me from dreaming of you.

And as for me, I'm in between
With summer air and autumn leaves.

But she's falling asleep
On the pull-out couch next to me.
And i'll be counting sheep
Til the sun comes out,
From under the trees.

I must have left,
Open my head
When you stepped out of my dreams last night,
And into my life.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

And as for me, I'm in between
The roads that lead you back to me.
And as for me, I'm in between
The summer air and autumn leaves.
And as for me, I'm in between
The roads that lead you back to me.

But she's falling asleep
On the pull-out couch.
And I'll be counting sheep
Til the sun comes out.

I must have left,
Open my head

When you stepped out of my dreams last night,
And into my life.

The lyrics "I'd rather have you laying there instead" and "But I'd rather have your attention" emphasize the depth of the singer's longing.

Despite their material possessions, the singer feels lost and confused, unsure of what the future holds.
