Much of 2011 was spent on tour. In addition to visiting most of the US, he ventured to the UK, Netherlands and Germany in support of his 2010 release, the EP Living Proof. 2012 sees the release of his follow up album, Pieces, dropping 6/19.
Pieces is a collection of melancholic yet uplifting songs mixed with the modern, yet timeless production of Nashville engineer/producer Stephen Gause. From the first chord struck on the keys of opener “Emotionally Involved,” the listeners are drawn into Simons' world, led by his melodic turns and the driving intensity of the drums. Next, the lead single “Gone” lets his soulful side shine as Simons paints a picture of a man in a failing relationship, struggling to hold on as he’s realizing he needs to let go. “I’m so tired of being wrong, I’m gone.” The net is abuzz with praise for the song, which was released on March 20th and is currently streaming on mattsimonsmusic.com.
The album continues to demonstrate Simons’ abilities as a musician and a writer as he seamlessly shifts gears between songs. With the sweet “Miss You More,” his vocals soar into a lighter, higher range reminiscent of a ballad by artists such as Ben Folds or The Beatles. The one non-original on the album is a cover and re-working of Death Cab For Cutie’s “I Will Follow You Into The Dark.” Simons’ piano replaces the original’s acoustic guitar, as various mellotron parts creep in to flesh out the sound, resulting in a hauntingly beautiful interpretation.
With its catchy melodies and relatable themes, Pieces maintains an inventive sound while appealing to a wide range of audiences. It's sure to become one of summer’s hottest releases.

I'm Already Over You
Matt Simons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Catch you sporting raised tail-feathers, I
Ain't stupid I can put four together
There's something going on in here
You act like we don't have trouble, I
Take pleasure in bursting your bubble, I
Know exactly where you been crossing double
How could you do me so wrong. How could you do me so wrong.
So think about
All of the ways I have slaved for you
The home that I made for you
Well, I ain't coming home again
This time tomorrow I will be gone
You can cry all you want
Cause I'm already over you
You say that you don't have another, You
Tell me I'm your one only lover, Well,
I did we some work undercover and
Found out what you've done and where
Found fault with the things that you've said to me
I take salt with the sh*t that you fed to me
By now, you already dead to me, dead to me, dead to me, dead to me
How could you do me so wrong. How could you do me so wrong.
So think about
All of the ways I have slaved for you
The home that I made for you
Well, I ain't coming home again
This time tomorrow I will be gone
You can cry all you want
Cause I'm already over you
It made its way about town
That you've been fooling around
Then made its way back to me
Oh oh oh oh
How could you be so unkind
How could I be so blind
To not have seen this immediately
So think about
All of the ways I have slaved for you
The home that I made for you
Well, I ain't coming home again
This time tomorrow I will be gone
You can cry all you want
Cause I'm already over you

Line by Line Meaning
You, come home in what feels like forever, I
After a long absence, you show up looking suspicious
Catch you sporting raised tail-feathers, I
I notice that you're acting overly confident and smug
Ain't stupid I can put four together
I'm not dense, I can connect the dots
There's something going on in here
There's definitely something suspicious happening here
You act like we don't have trouble, I
You pretend that we don't have problems
Take pleasure in bursting your bubble, I
I enjoy revealing your lies and secrets
Know exactly where you been crossing double
I'm aware of exactly where you've been cheating or lying
The lines have been drawn crystal clear
It's now very obvious what's been going on between us
How could you do me so wrong. How could you do me so wrong.
I can't believe how badly you've hurt me
All of the ways I have slaved for you
I've done so much for you
The home that I made for you
I created a home for us
Well, I ain't coming home again
I'm not returning to our home
This time tomorrow I will be gone
I'm leaving very soon
You can cry all you want
You can be upset, but it won't change anything
Cause I'm already over you
I've already moved on from our relationship
You say that you don't have another, You
You claim you're not seeing anyone else
Tell me I'm your one only lover, Well,
You say that I'm the only one for you
I did we some work undercover and
I did some investigating on my own
Found out what you've done and where
I discovered what you've been up to and where you've been
Found fault with the things that you've said to me
I realized that you've been lying or saying hurtful things
I take salt with the sh*t that you fed to me
I'm skeptical of what you've told me
By now, you already dead to me, dead to me, dead to me, dead to me
You mean nothing to me anymore
It made its way about town
News of your infidelity spread around our community
That you've been fooling around
People are saying that you've been cheating
Then made its way back to me
I heard about it from someone else
How could you be so unkind
I can't believe how cruel you've been
How could I be so blind
I can't believe I didn't see it before
To not have seen this immediately
I should have realized what was happening right away
