Matty Begs Music
Wait For It EP (Lockdown, Wait For It, Every Single Day, I've Been Down, You and Me) (May 2018) - for this EP, Matty Begs really honed in on creating succinct songs that tell a story. Inspired by personal experiences of the last few years, the songs on “Wait For It” focus on topics like sudden life changes, overcoming individual setbacks, and just enjoying life one day at a time. The band felt like their listeners could relate the lyrics to their own personal experiences, and by adding their positive musical vibes, uplift their fans. We hope you enjoy…crank up, roll down the windows, and rock out! Available at Apple iTunes, Rhapsody, CD Baby, eMusic, MediaNet, MixRadio, Inprodicon, Tradebit, GreatIndieMusic, Amazon MP3, Groove, Spotify, Deezer, 24-7, Omnifone Google Music Store, iHeartRadio, Rumblefish, Rdio, Slacker Radio, Shazam, JB Hi-Fi, Yandex, Beyond Oblivion, YouTube Music, Tidal, Akazoo, 8tracks, Synchtank, and SoundExchange.
The Beach EP (The Beach, Rest Easy, You're All Heart, Happy Girl) (March 2016) - we spent a lot of time playing at the coast the last 4 years. The salt air vibe and easy going lifestyle inspired 4 songs to capture the band's love of the beach, life, family, and friends. The third time was a charm at Thread Audio as we spent over a year perfecting what we think is our best music to date. We are so proud of this EP and thankful we have the best fans to share it with!!

Matty Begs EP (Riverbend, Good Mixture, Only the Good Notes, Energy) (February 2013) - in 2012 we headed into Thread Audio in Raleigh, NC to record our first EP. The band set up and recorded four live tracks on a cold snowy Saturday. We decided to record live in order to capture who we are...a live band! The results are a feel-good, raw and energetic EP that will keep your head bobbing and feet moving. Listen and download the Matty Begs EP for free on our website.

Lockdown
I’m always on the high post
Feeding to the low post
But I’m gonna shoot this time
I don’t care if I miss
Living on the East Coast
Dreaming of the West Coast
Guess I need a different vibe
Where I won’t be missed
So I put it on lockdown and said goodbye
It'll be here tomorrow it’s time for life
It's time to start dreaming about a little change
Then things won’t be the same yeah they won't be the same yeah
Always had a dress code
Where my pants were too low
Gonna burn my shirt and tie
And get some new kicks
It’s like a new me
Never loved the OG
Talking bout the "other guy"
That I was back then
So I put it on lockdown and said goodbye
It'll be here tomorrow it’s time for life
It's time to start dreaming about a little change
Then things won’t be the same
Never took a big risk
Was too afraid of losing it
But I’m gonna win this time
I'm gonna take a big trip
Just me and a money clip
And spend lots of time just thinking just thinking just thinking
I'm always in the back seat
With no room for my knees
But I'm going to drive this time
So just give me the wheel yeah yeah
Just give me the wheel no no
Just give me the wheel yeah yeah
Just give me the wheel no no
So I put it on lockdown and said goodbye
It'll be here tomorrow it’s time for life
It's time to start dreaming about a little change
Then things won’t be the same
Wait For It
Live in the present cause you’re gonna miss that face
What you hate today, in old photos looks so great
And your smile lights a room like a birthday cake
Blow out your candles but never wish the time away
My rhymes are flowing like a river or a lake
And they tried to build a dam, but even that I break
The sun is shining down on every thing
And I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings
Just wait for it, wait for it
Just wait for it, wait for it
Billions of galaxies besides the Milky Way
Funny how I met you here, interstellar fate
They say that timing is everything
When our stars are done aligning, you’re gonna hear a Big Bang
Just wait for it, wait for it
Just wait for it, wait for it
It always rains on me somehow
So I fly through the middle of the big dark clouds
Find the light it will lead you out
Everybody look what’s coming down
Singing oh oh oh what do you say
Just feel good in your own way
The time is now to make a change
From here on out its you and me
Just wait for it, wait for it
Just wait for it, wait for it
Every Single Day
Sunday morning, going at snail’s pace
Tell ya I definitely don’t want to leave this place no
Monday morning, I don’t want to work no more
Just need a constant stream of that paper money coming through my door
Tuesday morning, I got a full day
Didn’t even have time to post a picture on my social page
Wednesday morning, well its hump day
I’m gonna get a running start and jump over Thursday and Friday to Saturday
And these weeks just keep flying by
Seems like yesterday I was just a little guy
That’s why
I enjoy every single day
Friday night, going to watch a fight
But I fall asleep before anyone even throws a punch
Saturday night, and it feels good
The air is cool on this barstool but the sunlight keeps me warm
The rest of the week is a blur, just like my whole year
Just spent a half hour ripping pages out of my daily joke calendar
And these years keep flying by
Seems like yesterday all I had to do was play
That’s why
I enjoy every single day
I enjoy every single day
Take time to vacay
Because memories are sweet like lemonade
I got everything I need so I don’t wish for nothing
Take it back, wish I could go back to 2000 something
Make it a point, to make an appointment
To get your crew together and to have some enjoyment
Better go, you got some changing to do
If you are listening to this song then I’m talking to you
La da da da
La da
La da da da
La da
And these years keep flying by
Seems like yesterday all I had to do was play
That’s why
I enjoy every single day
That's why why why
I enjoy every single day
I've Been Down
I’ve been sinking
Right to the ground
I worry and then some
I got to get two feet on the ground
I’ve been watching
Move up close and feel it again
That means nothing
Along with the noise in your head I said
And I’ve been down X3
That don’t mean I won’t get back up
Instrumental
Love the sound
Then I heard voices
But there was nobody around I said
And I’ve been down X3
That don’t mean I won’t get back up
It’s like a song that is long it goes through the ups and downs yeah
I’ve been wrong but who hasn’t, change of scene, better me…
And I’ve been down X3
That don’t mean I won’t get back up
And I’ve been down X3 (I've been down)
That don’t mean I won’t get back up
You and Me
You’ve come along
It’s been a really long crawl
It’s not me
Was all you
No one else saw
But I did, and I know what you went through
All the times that you wanted to
Lean on me, and I wasn’t there for you
Every once in a while you leave but you don’t want to
So you come back to me cause our hearts have been through
It may not be perfect but it’s you and me
There are laws
Who says we have to follow
Not me
Why do you?
I know it’s wrong
Don’t think too much or you’ll get to
A point where you’ll want to move
On from me, but that’s not right for you
Had a hole in my heart but you filled with your with good news
Gave me a reason to dress-up when I didn’t want to
It may not be normal but it’s you and me
We feel the same
When we see each other’s name
Where you wanna do?
You dance around the room and you go with your hot moves
You get me to scream how much that I want to
It may be crazy, but it’s you and me
Yeah it's you and me
And I’ll be there for you
The Beach
I can’t believe
The day is here where we are gonna leave
Just close your eyes and you can go to sleep
I’ll wake you when I see the sea
Grab the keys
Fill up a cooler with my favorite drinks
Set up a chair where I can feel the breeze
Block out the world and dream
And if somebody told me that I could live this way
With my toes in the sand 24 hours a day
But the thing that makes it special is that we always have to leave
And I’ll be back before too long cause I just love the beach
So lucky
Like I went out and hit the lottery
Cause I’ve got such a super family
Who loves me for me
We’re gonna squeeze
Every second out of this day
We gonna watch the sun go down
Stay up late and make some sounds with the band yeah
And if somebody told me that I could live this way
With the sun on my face while hearing the ocean waves
But the thing that makes it special is that it really helps me breathe
And I’ll be back before too long cause I just love the beach
Solo
Chorus
Rest Easy
I love my car
That’s why I always keep it clean
I love my guitar
It’s how I pulled you in
And I love my dogs
They’re always here for me
And I love my lawn
I like to keep it green
And I love my couch
That’s where I fall asleep
And I love my town
And my friends in it
And I love my family
They always make smile
And I love my plans
Cause the future looks bright ohh
These are the things
That makes me rest easy
And I love my life I wouldn’t change nothing no
These are the things
That makes me rest easy
And I love my life, I’m singing, I love my life yeah
I love the music
It always in my dreams
And I love my dreams
Cause they seem so real
And I love my body
It’s what God gave to me
I love my mind
Cause you can always read it
Chorus
I said over time I realized what I got is all mine and that peace of mind makes me rest easy
I said over time I realized what I got is all mine and that peace of mind makes me rest easy
Chorus
You're All Heart
I wanna see those eyes
So move those curls
It’s like opening the door to a beautiful and innocent world
So sensitive
Oh, but it’s ok
All you do is care about if everyone else is having a good day
Please don’t ever change
Lord knows, that would be a shame cause
You’re all Heart
And I knew it from the start
You’re the sweetest thing
Crazy all the joy you bring
I said, you’re all heart
And I knew it from the start
Love to hear you sing
And when I look at you, it’s like looking at me
Brings me back
To thinking like a kid
When I see you having fun doing the simple things just like I did
So run around
Oh, and chase your dreams
Cause if I could go back baby I’d definitely do things differently
Please don’t ever say
You’re sorry for really thinking big
Chorus
Did you spit her out your mouth cause she looks just like you
But I was never that kind if I can the truth
Don’t listen to the haters and what they have to say cause
You’re all heart and that’s ok…yeah yeah yeah
Chorus
Happy Girl
I’ve been holding out for a little piece of good news
Cause every now and then I get a tiny case of the blues
But you always bring me out of it with your smile and your laugh
Reminds me to forget about the place where I am at
Gimme some of that…what you got, the thing that makes you you
If everyone in the world had that same attitude
You’d be a happy girl
You’d be a happy girl
You’d be a happy girl
You’d be a happy girl
I’m dreaming of your beautiful face
It always takes me out of my day and to a very special place
And, I count the hours every day until its time to pick you up
I feel your arms around my legs as you look up with love
Gimme some of that…what you got, the thing that makes you you
If everyone in the world had that same attitude
Chorus
I’ve been holding out for a little piece of good news
Cause every now and then I get a tiny case of the blues
But you always bring me out of it with your smile and your laugh
Reminds me to forget about the place where I am at
Gimme some of that…what you got, the thing that makes you you
If everyone in the world had that same attitude
Chorus
The Bones Are There
Build it back up like it used to look
Strip it down to the core
See what’s hidden down in the floor
Gotta go deep inside
To fix all the problems time left behind
I knew I’d be back to say
Its time for you and me to renovate
The bones are there, the bones are there
You just need a little love cause the bones are there
The bones are there, the bones are there
The best comes out when we get a little care
There’s something inside of us all
It takes the right person to tear down our walls
The bones are there, the bones are there
You just need a little love cause the bones are there
Remember when I used to drive by
I saw the potential right through my eyes
Thought it was such a shame
To see pure beauty just thrown away
The vision is a lesson on life
A blueprint of my plans to make things right
Love is gonna change everything
And like a fine wine you get better with age
Chorus
I said another man’s trash is another man’s treasure
I don’t put value on things you can’t measure
Cause you can’t measure heart or the things it makes it start
And all I can do is keep playing my part
And you should judge a book by its cover
Open it up and you’ll love her
Cause you can’t repair the damage if you do not manage
To look beyond the faults and see the advantage
Well my head is telling me that I should gut it
Remove all the damage and love it
But I leave it up to fate as I’m walking through the gate
I’ll know when I see your face
Superstar
You’re standing there by yourself
Just you and no one else
You’re standing at the bar
Acting like a Superstar
No one here can even adore you
Chorus:
Nobody knows who you are
Nobody cares if you’re a star
Nobody knows who you are
Nobody cares now
You look good all alone
You look good all alone
Don’t need nobody to tell you
You drive your fancy car
Licence plate says “Superstar”
No one here can even afford you
Chorus
Bridge:
You’re still acting like a little girl trying to get out
You’re still wrapped up in your little world there’s no doubt
And all the men you say are calling you…well here’s what they said
That you’re still acting like a little girl, little girl wrapped up in your little world
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been
They still call you Sinnamon
It doesn’t matter what you’ve been
But it’s what you really need now
Chorus
Heartbreaker
Just by having looks and self confidence
People losing their minds
It’s the middle of the night and they’re looking for sunshine
You got yourself two hands two legs two feet so keep it moving
Go around shake it aside throw it back stick it out slide and keep it grooving
I can’t remember what I did last night
But I do remember when I saw you
The look you gave me was so cool
Chorus:
You’re heart breaker, a soul shaker, knock down drag out risk taker
You can do what ever you want
You’re a high chaser, a hell raiser, a kicking and screaming mind eraser
You can get what ever you want
The city streets are alive
You dissed the crew brought the party outside
People losing their minds
In the middle of the street cause they’re looking for a good time
You got yourself two hands two legs two feet so keep it moving
Go around shake it aside throw it back stick it out slide and keep it grooving
I can’t remember what I did last night
But I do remember when I saw you
The look you gave me was so cruel
Chorus
Solo
You always get what you want
Just by having looks and self confidence
People losing their minds
It’s the middle of the night and they’re looking for sunshine
It’s the middle of the night and they’re looking for sunshine
It’s the middle of the night and they’re looking for sunshine
It’s the middle of the night and they’re looking for sunshine
Chorus
Come Along
Sing a song, and you could be free
Break of dawn, gonna get crazy
No better place where the livin is easy
Come along, come along with me
Bring a friend and a cold drink yeah
All day long, dance to the beat and
There’s always music playin when you and me together
Beat down from the day
I can’t wait to go to bed
Feet up, turn on TV
Blocking out everything
Dreaming of a place
I used to go to get away
Just you and me up on a plane
Flying high into the space
Kicking back in my living room
And I get startled by the sound of a big boom
So I go to the window just to see who
Is making the magical vibes that are break through
Ain’t it funny how a song changes everything
Its makes the start of your day just a wanna sing
So I’m ready for the par-ty that you bring
We got the lights and the DJ spinning
Chorus
Inside since the sun came up
This last hour will be so tough
My head is about to erupt
I’m ready for our time to come
Walk out of this place
Giant smile up on my face
Life is good when stop and take
A minute just to listen
Chillin in my car on my lunch break
I close my eyes and put the seat back for a quick nap
Roll down my window so I can just hear that
Sweet sound of the world’s heart beatin
Ain’t it funny how a song changes everything
Its makes the past come alive and you remembering
Sunny days outside on the roof and
We had the speakers and the bass a boomin
Chorus
Don’t bother me today (repeat)
Don’t bother me today, its time to plan our get away, so take my hand and hear me when I say
Chorus
Riverbend
Collect my lawn chair and tire swing
Load the truck for the weekend
A good is what I’m seekin’
I make a pit stop
To my girl’s house for lovin
We end up fighting so now I’m running
All the way…to the
Riverbend
I’ll meet you there just bring some friends
The party starts but never ends
I’ll meet you there at the river bend
Afternoon set up the grill and start cooking dogs
Make a pit with some fire logs
Throw my pole into the water and chill with the farmer’s daughter
I hear an engine roar
Must be my buddies speeding down the road
All yelling and hanging out the windows
They’re coming down…to the
Chorus
Solo
Evening time the camp is littered with beer cans
We’re too tired to set up our tents
So we just sleep in the mud
I wake in the morning cause it starts pouring
Everybody heads to the truck and starts going
But we’ll do it all again…at the
Chorus
Only the Good Notes
How come you haven’t written a song about me yet?
Because, It’s gotta be good to hear over and over again
It takes time
To get the right notes and the words need to be ideal
And I can’t force the music to come on out it’s just something I got to feel
Cause I want…
Only the good notes for ya x 4
You asked me
How come there’s no written words about our love?
Because, Expressing how I feel has always been so tough
Gimme some time
To put a pen to paper and see if my rhymes are real
But I can’t force the lines to come on out it’s just something I got to feel
Cause I want…
Only the good words for ya x 4
Solo
You asked me
How come the beat doesn’t make my feet move so I can dance?
Because, The song isn’t finished but I’m sure it will give you the chance
To groove
All around the room while singing words you know
But I can’t force you to get out of your seat you need to feel it in your soul
Cause I want…
Only the good beats for ya x 4
Only the good words for ya x2
Only the good notes for ya x 2
Good Mixture
I need a good mixture of fun
I need a good mixture of songs
I need a good mixture of love
How many changes will take to get a different M. O. then I’m coupled with?
If you only knew where I was coming from
Letting me in was the first good sign, but I feel the emotions that I’m trying to hide
And you don’t know me if you only know my serious side
Chorus
Laughter is the best medicine
And it’s a sin
If I can’t get out from within
I take it on the chin, with a win, cause every person that I beat sees me getting that number one pin and
I don’t worry about the crowd
Cause being unique is really being proud
But I’m not loud, cause a sound, can attract the wrong squad and then I have a problem I can’t cover with a shroud so
I’ll go ahead and I mix it up, and experience the different moods of high and low
Cause nothing ever grows without a good mixture of
Nothing ever grows without a good mixture of us
Solo
How many places can I visit with…out an agenda and a bucket list
If you only knew where I was gonna run
Getting me out was the best of times
I’ll never forget when I felt so fine
Balance is the key to everything in my life
Chorus
Energy
So down, from staying up all night
Every one I know s’up at the crack of dawn
But I’m still sleeping through the snooze alarm
Went to bed early and slept in late
Can you give me a drink that will make me feel great?
There’s so much to do today to feel this way so one of my good friends better come over and say
Get your ass up and lets go play
A little b-ball will give you some energy
A good start to the day
But my tanks empty
Chorus:
Always down, always down, always down
When I need you up
I gotta get some energy flowing through my blood
Always down, always down, always down
When I need you up
I gotta get some energy. I gotta get some energy
So bad, from feeling sad
So wrong, so I wrote this song
I was getting worried so I got tests done
Found I was lacking the light of the sun
Doc gave me some V-I-T D
And told me “ take it easy on the day time sleep”
I don’t wanna change or rearrange what I’m doing so I got to come up with plan number two
Gonna put on my running shoes
Sit on the couch just like I always do
And take a good snooze, and dream of you
Chorus:
Always down, always down, always down
When I need you up
I gotta get some energy flowing through my blood
Always down, always down, always down
When I need you up
I gotta get some energy. I gotta get some energy
