Never For Nothing - [Matthew]
Less talk, more rock...These are lyrics I wrote for a new song my band is working on. Musically, it's a spare 'Springsteen meets U2' kinda vibe. Anyway, everyone who listens to Etcetera is rockstar cool, so I thought you might like to take a look. Enjoy...
Never For Nothing
The month-sober man who’s thinking ‘bout quittin’
The eager young kid who’s just trying to fit in
The trembling new bride getting good at hiding bruises
The lonely 40-something who loves but always loses
Won’t you kiss all of the broken hearts tonight?
The perfect mom and dad with the secret they’re keeping
The raving homeless man who’s tryin’ to drown the demons
The desperate single mom with another on the way
The rest of us down here just getting through the day
Won’t you kiss all of the broken hearts tonight?
Hang on,
Hold on,
Be strong,
It won't last long
Can’t you open their eyes
Won’t you make them understand
That you really are there
And that you do give a damn
We wither like grass
And we scatter like dust
It’s them, it’s me
It’s all of us
Won’t you kiss all of the broken hearts tonight?
It’s never for nothing.
It’s never for nothing.
It’s never for nothing.

Damn.
Damn-and-a-half.
Ok where can I buy it I want to broadcast it do tell?
Your loved deal with it..
Matt I always thought of you more as Axl Rose than Bruce Springsteen..
Seriously though, great lyrics..
Wooooooooow. I think you covered everyone I know...
I needed that more than ever. Thanks...
I didn't join this blog to feel convicted! Great lyrics Matthew, wish I could do he same! You must premier this on Etcetera if you ever record.
Wow. Let me take these in order…
1. Thanks
2. Thanks-and-a-half
3. That song will be on my band Anodyne’s new CD that we hope to record in the spring. If you want our current one, get me an address and I’ll mail you a copy
4. Maybe the full on rockstar power of Axl (in his prime) with the longevity of the Boss.
5.Thank you, Sharon.
6.Totally. Will do.
7.Anybody else have lyrics/poems they’ve written? I know if I wrote this while washing my car, somebody’s got to have something even better stashed away somewhere. Step on up, don’t be shy.
