‘It’s been midnight all week”
This week has been brutal that’s for certain. There is much change happening in my life . I have felt as if a giant earthquake is crumbling me apart a little each day.. I think this is normal as I near my sobriety date and the reflection of time and place are whirling through my mind..
This morning i awoke before the sun, as I do on most days and I was reminded that it’s a fresh new beginning. There was bright lights at the realization of new music from one of my favorite artists.
“I’ve been trudging through the quicksand…”
The House Husband’s Guide to Keeping it Between the Lines, the new album by Payton Matous officially released today.
The Album features 9 of the latest creations from Matous. Producer Ethan Whitaker has outdone himself with this one as well.
‘I’ve seen driving rains, pouring sun’
The Six foot something ex football star Payton Matous has a folk style and a songwriting skill that has really begun to develop in the years I’ve followed him. He has a wide array of words and phrases that tell a beautiful story and his dreams are becoming reality with every breath.
‘And I know I’m gonna get there’
My favorite takeaway as of today is In My Own Sweet Time. This love ballad of trials and tribulations has hit me where i needed to be hit. It’s a perfect example of what Payton is capable of creating. I found myself in this composition and I believe others will too.
This coming weekend I will be heading to Dallas to see this song and the remainder of the album live. It’s always a blessing to see Payton Matous perform. Not to mention, he is one of the nicest people I know.. A big ol bear of a man who has a heart of gold.. Payton will be playing the Wounded Ostrich in Deep Ellum 5/11 and will be debuting his first full band show.
“In my own sweet time”
Pancho.
