What I Do To Relax

Matthew Ebel — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 20:03:32 +0000

While I’m making The Lives of Dexter Peterson, I also need to find time to unwind and rest the mushy matter in my cranium. Rather than go for a jog or play video games, my friends and I find… well, more interesting ways to spend our off hours.

Live at the Lucey House 2010

Matthew Ebel — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 22:45:44 +0000

Once again the folks down in Atlanta pooled their resources and massive amounts of raw fish to bring me down for another show. With an even bigger crowd than last time, the poor living room must’ve felt as bloated as we were after all those sushi rolls. No matter, the show must go on!

Will You Light My Way

Matthew Ebel — Thu, 28 May 2009 22:22:30 +0000

A friend of Matthew’s just recently died in a motorcycle accident. This was someone he had worked with when he lived in Nashville, someone who was close to him and helped keep him sane at his old day job.

This song is for Cliffie and for everyone she brought a little light to.

Lyrics:

Sometimes it’s better that we don’t know where we’re going.
We bet it all, but our cards are rarely showing.
It always ends the same:
We cash in all our chips and leave the game.

The house is dimmed and there’s no more sound to sing to.
The light you see are the flames that we all cling to
And you were quite the blaze-
a torch among the tea lights on parade.

So will you light my way?

We move on down a road that leads to somewhere
we’re not sure, but we hope that you will be there.
We won’t be the same,
we’re brighter now you’ve given us your flame.
Maybe someday we will meet again.

I Can Fly

Matthew wrote this song a couple of years ago for his friend’s wedding. The song has surfaced a few times at live concerts and on internet bootlegs, but this is the first time he’s gone into the studio to record it properly.

Lyrics:

I have climbed since I was a little child.
Every step I made my choice,
but now I’m stuck here on this mountain
and I just need to hear your voice.

‘Cause my hands start to shaking
my boots start to quaking
and I feel like I’m on a ride,
but baby when I’m with you I can fly.

I stand strong, I stand on my own two feet.
At least that’s what I tell my friends,
but lately I’ve found someone to lean on.
I don’t think that I’ll stand alone again.

‘Cause my hands start to shaking
my boots start to quaking
and I feel a tremor inside,
but baby when I’m with you I can fly.

Baby I’m out on a limb
where my blood goes cold and the air gets thin.
I’m so far from the ground,
but if you’re with me I’m never coming down.

Where my hands start to shaking
my boots start to quaking
and I feel my sense collide,
but baby when I’m with you
I can do anything that you want me to:
Break the speed of light,
wake the sun up at night,
just as long as you’re right with me,
I know I can fly.
