Matt Maeson dropped his sophomore album “Never Had To Leave” on Friday and it’s so good it makes my heart hurt.
His music is innately emotionally driven, and he takes these already powerful songs to the next level -- creating something truly breathtaking. "I Don't Owe You Anything" is pretty straightforward -- it's about finally moving on from someone and realizing you no longer owe that person anything. "I don't ask much / All I want is your touch / It's the way I love you / It's why I hate you / But I don't owe you / No, I don't owe you anything." If you like "Ghost Town" here are some other songs worth checking out:When We Were Young | Don't Count Me Out | Here To Stay | Christmas Lights | Ocean Eyes |BACK2YOU -- nothing, nowhere feat. | Complainer | Restless |Other songs to check out:Upcoming shows:Friday Finds: Oct. 18, 2019 -- Nov. 1, 2019Email us with local music suggestions and events at aainsworth@wdiv.com or kclarke@wdiv.com
