from the album "A440" vocals by Wilsun
hey lets go for a ride
follow the
painted road into the night
maybe you
try, to feel
the way
is real, enough
hey don’t go out too far
try not to
waste your wish upon that star
act like you
know…
An afternoon on the Saco with Karen always leads to delusions of grandeur. Now where did I leave that eye patch?
SACO RIVER PIRATES
Another Maine sunrise on the not so high seas
Hand me my eyepatch, I’ll help you tie the peg leg to your…
You'll tell me when you're ready.
DON’T WORRY ‘BOUT THAT RIGHT NOW
Where have you been is all they’ve been asking
Where are you going is what I’d like to know
Why are you running when nobody’s chasing?
What are you hiding? What can’t…
Welcome to my day on the river with Karen, folks.
INTO THE LIGHT (THIS LAZY RIVER)
Take me down to the river
Throw the jackets in the hull of the boat
Let the current deliver
To the bend at the bridge where it’s harder to float
What…
From December 2017, my take on an old classic, with a little twist of a bonus number near the end. It may be the first tune I did in 6/8 time, at least that anyone has heard from me. This (sort of) should have a rolling highlands sound to it…
Well it's been awhile for me. Busy summer and a bit of creative block all around. I'm happy to share a song I wrote this weekend to reflect on how tough change can be when you're in the midst of it. So many in my life are in the midst of personal…
A song about missing my wife when I travel.
lyrics
After all this time it comes down to this
You still excite me with every kiss
And every time you go away, I have to say
It makes for quite a long day
I hate it when I’m away from you…
We try to include a song about a donkey on each record. This is a factually accurate tale of Romulus, the world's tallest donkey.
lyrics
Romulus is 12 years old and 17 hands
At 5 foot 8 he’s taller than Oklahoma Sam
The world’s tallest donkey…
My son recorded this.

Someone has to clean up this mess. Sometimes it's me.
lyrics
Look at me
Large and in charge, taking down names
The way to be
In control of every part of your little game
Getting things done
you don’t have to like my method or tack…
I’m gonna go to the polls
I’m gonna go out, gonna go now go on and vote
Just to take part is a great start
Take heart, take heart
It may not be the end of the road.
Represent me
Your policies are resonating with me.
Won’t you…
Comments on Matt Ferrara's stuff
I ordered the fish and I got the stupid. Great album, Matt!
This is soooooo good.
"I still will buy him!" And the geek shall rule the Earth.
I was happy at the start, happier with the banjo, and sent to another level when the band kicked in.
Lin Manuel Miranda has nothing on you. Damn.
OUTSTANDING FROM THE FIRST NOTE. Holy crap, Matt. This is incredible.
Starts so somber but gets happy. and that end!
Yeah, where the hell IS Gary??
Amazing. This is tongue in cheek and also profound. SOLID!
This is beautiful
Riffage!
It’s like boo radleys mixed with super furry animals. Jeepers, if they’re all as good as this.

Drums sound good... all that effort paid off.
Listened to the whole album. Nice work all around this year.
Do I detect a Harry Chapin influence?
Wow, you weren’t kidding: this guitar tone is great, Keith.
Thanks, yeah, it’s a Pixies cover of sorts :)
(That last comment was me... forgot to log in :) Merry Xmas
Now I’m ready for the holidays
Great tone & mix
My kid is so cool.
This is just lovely
Nice work, buddy.
I'm a sucker for a good uke tune
I hear the Mojo Nixon influence here, in the best possible way
Thanks to everyone for listening & commenting. Means a lot to my little guy, who is already writing lyrics for the rest of his album ;)
The drums are so killer on this one
Perfect closer. My favorite of the lot.
"Ground down to baby powder"
