No really! It is! Simple, sweet, pretty. Well.. I think so.. and some early reviewers do as well. I hope (and believe) you will as well. The recording, as published here, is a work in progress. This means that I’m going to be overwriting the file as I add violin, backing vocals, additional guitar, and […]
I know.. a lot of people do their year in review around this time. I didn’t. I know what I achieved and what I did not. We can summarize big things quickly: 2013 Rapid Review: New Book – Building Your I.T. Career This is a rebirth of sorts for me. New Business – Pulse Infomatics, […]
Occasionally, I discuss how a certain song comes about or songwriting in general. I do it when I play all the time. Every song has a story, doesn’t it? I was asked to do this on my blog more often.. And because I am so compliant 😉 I’ll oblige that request. A quick note about […]
Okay.. ignore the fact that week 1 of my new schedule, I did not adhere to my new schedule. I could blame my trip to Arizona seeing my 3 older kids (see pics below the lyrics). And I could blame returning home on Monday and being exhausted. Add to that, client work that I’m behind […]

Many years ago, my oldest son took off for the open road, hitchhiking across the US. In fact, he ended up going a few times.. making his way to Alaska at one point. I don’t know all the stories and perhaps don’t want to know. I know that I often worried about his safety and […]
I’ve played this song live a few times during acoustic sets. Tom, my drummer, generally says he won’t play country but concedes that he will play this tune. Recently, at some listener’s promptings, I shot a video of me performing it in my music room. The video has the lyrics but I’ve also included them […]
Songwriter Matthew Moran and The Matt Moran Band Press Kit I’ve updated my songwriter’s press kit. My band’s configuration/membership changed almost a year ago and it was time to re-list members and get new information out there. Additionally, a friend has come on board to help with bookings this year. Feel free to download the […]
New Year! New Song! I wrote this song a couple weeks ago and made the video below on January 1st, 2013.. What better way to kick off the new year than with music. My friend Amber once told me, “The heart’s a bitch and then you die.” This song validates that notion. Lyrics and a […]
