This is the first single ever by Matt Welsh.
It was the first example of his sound coming to life organically and independently of any other musical collaboration. At this point he had already been writing songs and drumming among various projects for well over five year to develop his abilities.
When each of those projects failed (due to circumstances outside of his control) it was time to literally start over from scratch and build a sustainable career that would facilitate his discography to come.
Matt is thankful to have been offered to have this song recorded by the vocalist of his former band John Browne of Bright and Early. They recorded it in their home rehearsal studio in New Jersey in 2013 with a special guest vocal in the bridge by Matt’s younger brother Patrick.
The single still stands as one of Matt’s most popular songs to date!
SONG LYRICS:
Starting Over by Matt Welsh (BLUVNBU)
Started out with a dream. I was told I could be anything. I just had to believe. Close my eyes keep imagining. The person I thought that I should be. Three years passed by. Feels like a long long time. All I did was try and fail and try. Got my head up in the clouds. And I’m never coming down. It’s never too late for all my plans, for all my dreams. I’m starting over, I’m starting over again. What’s reality. What should I believe. Looking through the glass. Half filled with empty. Sometimes things get bad. And they don’t work out as planned. It feels so unfair. But, it gets better. It’s never too late for all my plans, for all my dreams. I’m starting over, I’m starting over again. I don’t care who I was. Cause I know who I am. I’m starting over, I’m starting over again. Be yourself if you love yourself. Do what you love and the rest will follow. Be yourself if you love yourself. Do what you love and the rest will follow. I just wanna be free. I just wanna be me. I just wanna be free. I just wanna be, I just wanna be. I just wanna be free. I just wanna be me. I just wanna be free. I just wanna be, I just wanna be. I don’t know where I would have been. Had I listened to my heart back then. It’s never too late for all my plans, for all my dreams. I’m starting over, I’m starting over again. I don’t care who I was. Cause I know who I am now. I’m starting over, I’m starting over again. I know that things seem bad. But, I think it’s getting better.
