I've always been a choir-geek. At one point I was in 12 different choirs at once. There's something amazing about making music with your voices together before it becomes your job or a career. After college, I did get a job singing full-time with the classical men's acapella group, Chanticleer (chanticleer.org). We recorded 2 Grammy® Award-winning albums in the 5 years I toured with those amazing guys.
I left the group to see if I could take the melodies in my head and turn them into songs. Life threw me some curve-balls and it took me 3.5 years to finish the record completely. I hope when people listen to these songs they feel closer to themselves.
If you'd like to let me know how they make you feel, that'd be swell.

Walk With Me
Matt Alber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
or in the sky, what does it matter
when you're singing to no one?
but you were holding your breath
like a good little boy, saving it all
in your dreams for a someone
th3e brightest star we were wishing on
the same refrain
walk with me a little closer
hold my hand a little tighter
look at me like you love me, baby
and I'll love you back
and like a lonesome dandelion
watching all the seeds blow by
you said a prayer for
the one who was missing
and then my cup, it overflowed
couldn't hold against the tide
spilling it all at your feet
like a blessing
the bluest eyes singing all the words
I knew by heart
walk with me a little closer
hold my hand a little tighter
look at me like you love me, baby
and I'll love you back
unfold this paper
remember all the poetry in my heart
is saying
walk with me a little closer
hold my hand a little tighter
look at me like you love me, baby
and I'll love you back
yes, I'll love you back
The lyrics of "Walk With Me" by Matt Alber describe a moment of deep connection between two people. The singer reflects on a time when they were unsure of their place in the world, but found solace in the presence of another person. They recall a moment when they were both gazing up at the sky, wishing upon a star, and singing the same tune. The singer invites the other person to come closer, hold their hand tighter, and look at them with love. They promise to love the other person back in return.
The second half of the song shifts to the other person, who is described as a "lonesome dandelion" watching their wishes fly away. They say a prayer for the person who is missing, perhaps acknowledging the singer's previous feelings of loneliness. The singer's love for the other person becomes overwhelming, and they spill it out at the other person's feet like a blessing. The song ends with a call to come closer, hold tighter, and love each other.
The lyrics of "Walk With Me" describe a simple but profound moment of connection between two people. The song's gentle melody and emotive vocals convey a sense of vulnerability and intimacy. The repeated refrain of "walk with me a little closer" reinforces the theme of closeness and the desire for human connection.

When my husband died a few months ago after 24 years together, I knew it was the end of our world. Handsome says it all for me. Thank you for the beauty of your talent.
