now and then there are those artist who can make the simplest lines of a song hit you like a punch in the guts. for me Matthew Mayfield is one of those artists. his first single, of the upcoming album Recoil, History really hit me. especially the line “how do i move, now that you moved on”. i don’t know why that line in particular hit me so hard, but i guess it sums up every time you have been on the wrong end of a relationship and the other person just does not feel the same any longer.
anyways, enjoy this fantastic song in the video below.
