lyrics

I want to be great, but I don’t like waiting
I want to escape, but I don’t like leaving you behind

I wanted to feel, without having to steal nothing
I wanted a lover, and then I wanted another

There’s a line for the stall
Where the windows are tall
And I can pass the time
Bird-watching birds watching me
Wondering about my life

I wanted to swim, no water in sight
I wanted to feel the breeze, but I don’t want to go outside

I don’t want to regret, so I tried a cigarette
I don’t want to be old, like the winter don’t want to be cold

Fast forward, rewind,
Isn’t it about time to
Throw your own rose parade
March past the sulking window
Where you used to bellyache

I don’t want to do nothing

I want to do something, but I’m just walking around
Always coming and going continually south
With a bad taste in my mouth

I wanted to be a morning person
I wanted to see a cherry-blossom

For years I rejected your version of heaven
I ran for my life in the sun
But when I fell in line, I saw a little white light
And I knew my time had come

Matt Holubowski Montreal, Québec

Matt Holubowski's first album 'Ogen, Old Man' was written and recorded in the spirit of simplicity, embracing of imperfection, and the search for truth and meaning. The raw, lo-fi album meant to bring the focus back to story telling, as was originally the tradition of folk music.

Holubowski's second opus is set to appear in the fall, with more arrangements and colours, but the same candour. ... more
