Matt Corby has certainly carved a unique path for someone that started his career aged 16 on a reality TV talent show in 2007. In 2009, he independently released his debut EP 'Song For...' before relocating to London and signing with renowned UK indie label Communion after capturing the attention of the label's owner; Ben Lovett of Mumford and Sons fame.
Matt Corby’s songs and vocals elicit a sensation that is nothing short of captivating. Having previously been compared to legendary artists such as Nick Drake and Jeff Buckley, Matt’s songs continue to deliver a uniqueness and maturity well beyond his years while his live performances have become renowned for bringing large audiences to a complete stand still.
After recording with Ian Grimble (The Libertines, Seasick Steve) and releasing his hauntingly beautiful EP 'Transition To Colour' in late 2010, Matt has been busy engaging audiences with his live shows. Matt spent the earlier part of 2011 playing sold out shows in London and showcasing at SXSW in Austin, Texas in February before coming back to Australia to play a string of intimate “Secret Garden” shows in fans’ backyards. He soon after joined UK band Elbow as the main support on their national tour of sold out Splendour sideshows in July.
On 1 October 2015, Matt released his first song in two years, 'Monday' from his debut album, 'Telluric'. The song was described as containing "lush, transcendent harmonies, wailing falsetto, folky boom-claps and heartbreaking lyrics", and later voted 53 in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2015. 'Telluric' was eventually released on 11 March 2016.
On 7 September 2018, Matt announced his 2nd studio album 'Rainbow Valley', released 2 November 2018.
Personally, Matt enjoys surfing and reading, and became a father with his first child in early 2018.

All Fired Up
Matt Corby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To put out a light that's been on so long
I never missed you until I know I won't be coming home
But I'm always coming home
Cause when you fall I fall
When you break I break
You got me all fired up
I wanna know what gets you all fired up
Got me all fired up
We could drive
So far out of the smoke that we've been breathing for so long
I never miss you until I know you won't be coming home
So tell me that you're coming home
You got me all fired up
I got my hands tied up
I wanna know what gets you all fired up
Try a little harder
You can't let it destroy you
Don't regret the things that made you strong
You got me all fired up
And I got my hands tied up
I wanna know what gets you all fired up
I wanna know what gets you all fired up
Cause when you fall I fall
When you break I break
When you crawl I crawl
When you hurt I hurt

We could try
Let's attempt to do something
To put out a light that's been on so long
To stop something that has been going on for a long time
I never missed you until I know I won't be coming home
I didn't realize how much I cared until you were gone
But I'm always coming home
I will always return
Cause when you fall I fall
When you have problems, I also have problems
When you break I break
When you're hurt, I'm also hurt
You got me all fired up
You inspire me and excite me
I got my hands tied up
I am limited and restrained
I wanna know what gets you all fired up
I want to know what motivates and inspires you
We could drive
We could start fresh
So far out of the smoke that we've been breathing for so long
Leave behind our past struggles and pain
I never miss you until I know you won't be coming home
I take you for granted until you are gone
So tell me that you're coming home
Please let me know you're returning
Try a little harder
Put in more effort
You can't let it destroy you
Don't let it ruin you
Don't regret the things that made you strong
Be proud of what made you tough
When you crawl I crawl
When you struggle, I am also struggling
When you hurt I hurt
When you're in pain, I also feel the pain
