lyrics

Montalban
I am no better off than the man next to me
I want to be different, hate to be the same
It’s so easy to disassociate ourselves
It’s so easy to simply place the blame

We focus on what we have done, and the anger we have felt
But in our petty times and our victories, if we could just stop
Just stop and look at ourselves

I am..
Will the way you want me speak forever?
Understand, it’s not the way you want me, the way you feel me
I am right

Why you’ve got to say those words out loud?
Maybe it’s so you can hear for yourself
You’re so busy caught up in, the me, the how, the why, the when of ourselves
Of what we have felt, of what we know
Well that’s the way it goes

I am..
Will the way you want me speak forever?
Understand, it’s not the way you want me, the way you feel me
I am right

Of what we’ve felt, of what we’ve known, of what we’ve seen, of what we’ve been
I don’t want you to believe in ourselves, take it back, oh we’ve come round and we’ve gone off track into ourselves, and what I know, into ourselves and that’s the way it goes

I am..
Will the way you want me speak forever?
Understand, it’s not the way you want me, the way you feel me
I am right

about

Matt Ryder Darwin, Australia

“Matt Ryder plays guitar, stompbox and sings. And does it really well. His rootsy style could be compared to say John Butler or Ben Harper, though his songs and playing have a powerful, uptempo percussive edge. Guitarists should come and check him out to be blown away by the guys skills; two handed tapping, hitting the guitar, harmonics everywhere… What can’t he do?”
