Everyone is selling something, no matter it be love & kindness or hate & greed. Be careful what you’re selling and who you are selling it to. Today is my last day streaming in this studio here in Los Osos, CA, what a journey of a summer it’s been…I started writing this song a few days ago and finished it yesterday, I’ve had it stuck in my head for weeks honestly and finally put pen to paper. It certainly wrote itself, I just happened to be there. I don’t know how I feel about this summer yet, I’ve had good times as well as some not so good times. But I really hope I’ve made everyone’s lives that I’ve encountered a little better than when I found them, that’s all I really ever hope for. Thank you for helping me grow and learn how to be a better version of myself, that’s the ultimate goal right? 1% better each day 🙌 #mattsuarezmusic #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #handshakesareimportant
Pop would’ve turned 80yrs old today 🖤 With that said, I’ve certainly been going down memory lane for better and for worse. I keep thinking about the conversations we’d have this day and age but I certainly am grateful for the ones we had…most of my friends didn’t have two parents or even at all. I not only had two parents, I had great ones. So lots of my friends grew up in our house as well. We learned so much under a sunken roof, broken windows, make shift porch, beaten to shit stairs, you name it and this home had its problems but it was the best classroom. We didn’t have shit but as a grown man I know we had everything we needed. We always found a way to make it work, whatever the circumstances. Things never turn out quite the way you’d expect them or even want them to but if this training ground taught us anything, it taught us how to survive. I’m not entirely sure why but I’ve been thinking about that old beat to shit home all day… we left it empty, like a thief in the night. Mom and I picked up and moved on, for the better. But I keep thinking about it..I know it’s been squatted in and destroyed by junkies, ransacked by thieves to take whatever was left, and so much worse I’m sure…and while there’s no longer a home there, I just want them to know that there was a home there once. With a family learning to survive. There was love there. It wasn’t perfect, we weren’t perfect, but it was ours. Thank you for teaching me how to survive Pop, I didn’t turn out so bad hahaha 🖤 I still feel that handshake Pop 🖤Happy Burfday, love ya 🖤🎶 6 days left and I’ll be home Ma 🖤 #handshakesareimportant #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #legend #happyburfdayPop

3.5yrs today. To be honest, I’m Not sure how to handle myself during all that’s transpired over the last 5yrs but needless to say I’m angry. A lot. I’m all sorts of things. And that’s ok, I know this. Everything hurts more, everything means more, everything means less, people fall in and out of my life, things are more confusing than they’ve ever been. I can’t say it enough, I’m doing my very best. Sometimes I say it just to remind myself. They say there’s a calm before the storm, well the storm has always been and I’m waiting for the calm. Everyone has their monsters to battle and I have mine, for those battling in their’s, I see you and I’m sending y’all love. There’s lots of right’s and wrong’s but you can only be where you’re at, never feel you have to apologize or explain that to anyone. Times were much simpler when I was younger, sometimes I wish I could find that kid in there somewhere and warn him but I can’t, what’s done is done. I’ve realized the hard way that someone carried the weight of the world so I could feel free as a bird back then. That was You & Mom and now it’s my turn. Not sure how you did it or how I’m doing it but Mom is just fine, Love ya Pop 🖤 I can still feel that handshake. I sure do miss our conversations, rest well Pop 🖤🎶 #3.5yrs #keepmovingforward #handshakesareimportant #noonecaresworkharder #legend

Every now and again there comes a moment in time that you’ll just never forget. After 10,000 miles traveled this last September and many circumstances good and bad, on October 2nd while extremely tired I almost didn’t attend this show. But I did.

This song has always stuck out to me from @bobdylan’s catalog of tunes, it’s probably my favorite from him. Such poignant lyrics that really paint a picture when you close your eyes and allow the details to materialize in your mind. I love when writers do that, like old Charlie Patton or Eddie “Son” House tunes 🙌 here’s my interpretation of this one, I hope y’all enjoy it. . . . This was probably the only serious moment of my @twitch stream all night haha for live bloopers you’ll have to tune in, link is in my bio 😂🤷♂️🔥 . . . #bobdylan #dontthinktwiceitsalright #cover #mattsuarezmusic #folk #music #musicislife #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #handshakesareimportant #letsgetweird #acoustic #singer
Time is a monster. It takes everything you love, all you’ve ever known, anything you’ve ever needed. It’s relentless and comes after you without regard for your kindness, your caring personality, your generosity, your morals, your love, your wisdom…it’s a monster and it’s never late to make its presence known. . But there are those who have a strength in them that isn’t measurable, they force Time to wait just a little while longer. that’s my Mother 🖤 she’s defied Time within every circumstance when her back was against the wall, she turned 79yrs old today surpassing my Father’s 76. I don’t know much in this life but I know special when I see it, because I was raised by it. Happiest of Burfday’s to you Ma 🙏🖤 in this broken down world, You are the truth. Keep telling Time to go Fuck itself haha I love you Ma 🖤🎶 . . . #Ma #legend #thetruth #happyburfdayma #thebest #timecanwait #keepmovingforward #handshakesareimportant #noonecaresworkharder #aworkofart
These last few weeks or maybe even months have had a looming dark veil attached to them for reasons I couldn’t decipher, when that happens I fall into the arms of the music that conveys or comforts the deepest parts of me I don’t enjoy looking in the face or even speaking them aloud to my friends. Music is and will always be my lifeline, the air I breathe. Like my guitar, it’s always there and always tells the truth. This song was stuck in my head all week so I deliberately made a highlight 3 days ago during my @twitch live stream with the intention of posting it, today couldn’t be a better day to do so. . . I’ve always had an affinity for dark toned, sad, blatantly truthful songs. They make me feel better for whatever reasons so I hope this does the same for y’all, thank you ryanadams for writing this 🙏 it’s certainly stood the test of time for me since it came out and I continue to find nuances in it that inspire me to this day. . . Be kind to a stranger today, you never know what ledges people are standing on 🖤🎶 . Cheers y’all 🎶🖤 stay weird 🖤🎶 . . . #hashtags #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #handshakesareimportant #letsgetweird #musicislife #ryanadams #comepickmeup #mattsuarezmusic #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp
It happens so often that we reach and reach and reach for more, whether it be material things or chasing after that person who’ll “fix it all” or whatever these typical “wants” may be while in reality we have everything we need most time’s all along. I’ve been doing a lot of writing as of recent due to some workshops I’ve started on my @twitch streams and this song was the result after a good conversation a little over a month ago 🙏 Life can be a daunting rabbit hole, if you let it. You can also choose to focus on what you can control and let the rest go the way it’s supposed to, sometimes you only need what you can carry. Keep moving forward and be kind as often as possible 🙌🎶 I hope y’all enjoy this tune, I debuted it at WillyTown Festival this last month and I’m excited to record this song with @glostikwilly this winter. Lots of new music coming y’all, Stay Weird 🖤🎶 . . We’ve Got It Made . Can’t move at all Every breath turns to stone Depending on the debt you’ve made . There’s a crime in every role Every road’s a broken home Banking on the dreams that fade . Today, tomorrow We don’t have to borrow We’ve got it made . On the edge is where I’ll be Would’ve given everything Just to be the one you see . But instead of looking up You kept trying to fill that cup That’s overflowing endlessly . Today, tomorrow We don’t have to borrow We’ve got it made . All the food is on the table In the faded pictures down the hall But times a distant fable Asking “can’t we make it on our own?” . Today, tomorrow We don’t have borrow We’ve got it made . . #original #song #wevegotitmade #mattsuarezmusic #twitch #twitchaffiliate #twitchstreamer #streamer #singer #songwriter #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp #letsgetweird #stayweird #handshakesareimportant
When I first learned this song I had no idea it would become such a staple within my Twitch community, it certainly has and it couldn’t be more fitting I suppose. In this day and age of the unclean & the clean, the left & right, red & blue, Libtard or Right Wing racist and everything in between people like to fight about causing further division, this song just hits. . Whatever you believe, wherever you stand, know that you don’t know everything and people for the most part are trying their very best. This is a confusing and difficult time like most days before this era we are in, be kind and have patience and or tolerance for people who don’t think like you do. You may just learn something, I know I do despite not being perfect at it. One thing is for sure, the sun will rise tomorrow and I get another shot at being better at it. . Sending all the love and understanding to you all, it’s a wild ride out there but seas will calm. They always do 🙏🎶 be kind to a stranger today, you don’t know what ledge they’re standing on 🖤🎶 .

I wrote a long excerpt and then my phone froze up and it was lost, maybe I’ll write a longer coherent passage later but for now this is what I’ve got. . . I’ve traveled what will be 10,000 miles by the end of the week around the United States meeting & playing music with new friends and old, attending festivals and performing at festivals. After 22yrs of reading rooms and people as a profession I’ve come to the conclusion that most people are doing their very best and sure as shit don’t know everything, just like me. But it’s amazing how much confident vitriol is being thrown around like candy, filled with blind moral compass that’s fueled with salesmanship and social branding for one reason or another. Guessing like two ships lost at sea…at best. But For every negative experience I found, I had so many more positive ones on this adventure. again, I really believe most are doing their best 🖤🎶🙌 . Thank you for the open arms you’ve shown me on this adventure, for that I owe 🖤🎶 . Be kind out there, you never know what ledge someone is standing on. . Also, when people show you their cards, believe them. Things will workout the way they’re supposed to, just keep moving forward and continue learning. . Here’s some gorgeous skies & Wonderwall (jk) . #doyourbest #noonecaresworkharder #handshakesareimportant #keepmovingforward #musicislife #bekind
What an inspiring few weeks to say the least, I feel like I’m catching a stride I haven’t felt in quite some time. Being open to possibilities, self awareness and especially being vulnerable is so hard to balance, maybe even more so during the climate that the world is in at the moment. I’ve been letting go a lot lately and writing constantly, some of the most meaningful music to me has come out recently and I couldn’t be more excited honestly. I had a long lull of sorts for a while with writing, maybe there is too much to absorb and it takes time. I’m glad some of it is finally making its way to the forefront of my mind and onto paper(or whatever digital version of paper kids use these days lulz) sort of speak 🖊 📄 💻 so much new music coming as the months go on, I promise you that 💪 . . No matter where you stand, no matter what pressures you feel are on your shoulders, no matter who comes and goes, no matter the obstacle, please remember to be grateful for what you have and even what you don’t have. Sometimes it’s worth more to lose than to win. This song is certainly about that, maybe I’ll debut it at WillyTown Festival in Troy, OH Sept 9th-12th with @glostikwilly and the @twitch fam, can’t wait to see y’all 🤘 if you’re in the area, please come out and say hey! I’d love to see ya 🎶🖤 . . . Please be kind out there to each other 🙏 I say it often but I’ll say it again, you never know what ledge people are standing on 🖤🎶 . . . . #mattsuarezmusic #willytownfestival2021 #originalmusic #beinspiried #beadventurous #musicislife #iseeyou #youmatter #getoutside #letsgetweird #handshakesareimportant #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #noexcuses #artistsinspiringartists @jen.macdon thank you for the conversation 🔥🎶
After a year of being bed ridden by vertigo caused by crippling severe anxiety, I sat up for the first time without being nauseous or too dizzy and played my guitar (which hadn’t been touched in over a year due to my symptoms) and I wrote this song. I can’t tell you how deep the depression was prior because of not being able to play my guitar or perform, I’ve been a full time musician for almost 16yrs so you can imagine the journey it was being knocked off stage for 2.5yrs in total. This was my love song to music, now I’m not religious but if I was than music would be my beacon of safety and faith. Cheers to it & Thank You \m/ This song has become a staple for my TwitchTv Community and I couldn’t be more proud of any song I’ve ever written, if it helps one person feel that they aren’t alone than I’ve done my job as a writer and someone who knows certain depths of mental illness. The toll it can take shouldn’t be endured alone, find your tribe and lean on them when you need to. Thank you to my TwitchTv Community for being there for me, it’s an honor and privilege to be there for you. Stay Weird y’all, much love!!! Special Thank You to my Mod Team on TwitchTv, you all were there in the trenches with me this past 1.5yrs in ways that most won’t understand.

There are many great bands and or songs that have left an imprint on my life, many time capsules in some teeny tiny moments and or huge moments that left scars, a stain, or blessings in a memory of some sort. I don’t think another band has left more for me in so many aspects of my life than Silverchair, for better for worse they were always there. Like when my father had his first stroke, I got the call from my mother while listening to “After All These Years”, or how “Tomorrow” will always remind me of late nights with my late friend Jesse Rosales (I’ll always be your token hahaha)…it also reminds me of my first serious band with @albertjrband & @omarlopezbass (those were some crazy tired drives 🤦♂️🙌)…But this song in particular is a brighter moment and this is the best performance of it in my humble opinion 🙌 I remember sitting with @marsattack8 & @stu_jitsu760 when we found this performance online and Daniel hit “the note” Hahhaha we must’ve watched it a thousands time’s after that….I tried(and still try) to hit that note soooooo many times 😂 and thousands since…this song takes on new meaning every year but it certainly reminds me of the people I love, have loved and those to come, thank you @danieljohnshq @bengillies888 and Chris Joannou for your art. You’ve certainly been the soundtrack to my life, one day I’ll shake your hands in person and say “Thank You”. . . . This isn’t on any album to my knowledge and there aren’t many live videos of it either, certainly none on insta. So here y’all go, enjoy 🙏🖤🎶 . . #asylum #silverchair #newcastle #grunge #90s #australia #myfavorite #mattsuarezmusic #letsgetweird #keepmovingforward #handshakesareimportant #noonecaresworkharder #livemusic #musicislife
This @noahgundersen song has been stuck in my head for days so I decided to learn it last night…for some reason I enjoy the beat up sound of voice memos on my phone more than I do studio tracks most days. Kind of like vinyl over everything else but maybe even a little more vulnerable/real. I’ve been battling some pretty intense depression for days now but really it started over a week ago due to some wildly intense dreams I had…Just thought I’d post this for anyone else who might not feel too good 🖤 the pic in this post was from my second hike I did yesterday, I felt much better after some physical exertion, nature & a couple good texts with advice/reminders from some friends(thank you). To anyone feeling a little down, do yourself a favor and get outside. It’s really a cure to a lot of things 🙌 but anyways, here’s a beat up old voice memo 🖤🎶 . . . “If you lived in the shadow of the mountain Would you notice when the mountain was gone If you played in the sparkling fountain Would the drought seem twice as long If at night you slept with strangers in their houses And in the morning sang a traveling song Would you feel a little bit stronger when they were gone . She sang to me the rhythm of autumn It was there that I found my space In the search for the perfect Madonna To bear the burden of amazing grace I found her as a topless dancer Making a mess of the place She took no questions and she gave no answers She just sang . Hold tight Don't leave the light on for me Because I just might Cut myself loose and go free I hope you see the topless dancer in me . I learned to ask the Lord for forgiveness Before I learned to forgive myself So I wore myself thin as a window And hung my trophies from a shelf When I woke up in the morning from a good good dream I felt the burden of unspeakable guilt I washed the milky white stain from my bed sheets And I prayed for help . So to the priests and the prophets Who say our bodies are godless Oh tell me what the hell does that mean I hope you see I hope you see I hope you see the topless dancer in me” . . . #getoutside #toplessdancer #noahgundersen #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #handshakesareimportant #mentalhealth

Things got 90’s weird today 🤘🙌There are many iconic songs that represent eras but despite all the great songs that came out the 90’s, I don’t think one defines the 90’s like Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” did. It’s interesting, the requests I get sometimes. Some more surprising and timely than the next, but a 16yr old asked for this song. Needless to say, today wasn’t so bad. There’s hope for the future….maybe…😂 . . Maybe I’ll start posting random song requests I get every week, what do y’all think?

I’ve been thinking a lot about my father lately and the whirlwind life has been over the last 5yrs in particular, especially this last two weeks for some reason. As 3yrs and 2 months since he’s been gone approaches on the 9th, I can’t help but think about all the change that’s transpired around me and within me. There’s a lot of hardships that reform the very core of who you are but I’m not sure if anything is like losing a parent, I’m certainly not the same. The good, bad and the ugly, I’m simply different. Every moment is more joyful, also hurts more immensely, means more, means far less…it’s such a wild ride within this place that used to be one way and now it’s another. I guess thats why I’ve fallen into hiking as much as I have, it’s unforgiving, relentless and I appreciate it. It’s like a metaphor for how I’ve experienced life in the short 38yrs I’ve been alive, especially with all the death I’ve encountered (family and friends) throughout the journey. One thing is for certain, you have to do the work. These hikes remind me of that, it’s a process and takes practice. There’s work that needs to be done and it’s on you and only you to carry the weight, the sun will rise and fall with no regard for your feelings, triumphs, accomplishments or failures. At the end of the day, Keep charging forward. Despite all the bullshit, you’ll find a few good views and moments on this plot of dirt floating around a ball of fire. Those moments are worth it, and I hope you think you are worthy of them. You have 100yrs or less, do something with it. Anything. Just don’t stand still. Go do something nice for someone else today, maybe that’s a good start. Maybe that someone is your future self or even your past self, fall in love with the journey. You only get one, like a father. Not sure why I wrote this but hopefully it helps somebody make sense of their day, be kind out there. . . . .

Today my father would’ve been 79yrs old...I honestly don’t know where the time goes. Each year I get older and accumulate more obstacles I’ve hurdled underneath my belt I can’t fathom how Pop lived until the age of 76, it gets more and more impressive all the time. He was such an intelligent, kind, cultured, giving, honest human...but most important he was resilient, he certainly had to of been to survive life’s twists and turns that long. You could tell in the way his hands felt that he had experienced some things in his life...they were raw, calloused, weather beaten, strong but fragile, firm but also the most gentle. Life tried to make them ugly with scars..but those are the kinds of “badges of honor” you can’t buy, you can only earn that. His handshake was one of a kind on so many levels. I’ve said this before and I think about it often, time goes so fast and memories fade by nature...it scares me to think that memories like these will fade, I hope I’ve inherited his ability of remembering things. I’ve done my very best to try and learn those virtues he embodied, I fail A LOT lol but I promise I really do give my best effort. He set a bar so high that I don’t know if I can reach it, but I guess that’s the beauty of the journey. . . . . You were an uncommon man amongst the uncommon Pop... maybe my hands will be ugly and full of scars someday too. Happy Burfday to the best, it was truly an honor to have you as a father. Rest well, you’ve earned it. Love you Pop ❤️ . . . . . #handshakesareimportant #legend #donttalkaboutitBeaboutit #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp #mattsuarezmusic

Thank you for all the love on my new single “Wait’n Up”, it means a lot ✊❤️ it took a lot of miles, obstacles, good times and bad to write this song. I really hope it helps to make sense of some situations out there folks are going through, stay the course and keep moving forward ❤️ it’s available for download on all streaming platforms @applemusic @spotify to name a few, go swoop that download!! Downloads and streams are so very important in this point and time for artists, thank you for all the love. I’ve got more new music coming soon 😎 🙏🙌🎶 . . . . #mattsuarezmusic #waitnup #newsingle #gogetit #independentartist #letsgetweird #keepmovingforward #noonecaresworkharder #quarantunes #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp #handshakesareimportant #loveyoupop #newmusic
A year & eleven months.... what a different world it is. I usually try to have something insightful to say on a day like today but I don’t, I just really miss my Pop ❤️ . . . . #handshakesareimportant #thebest
A year & ten months Pop... what a ride it’s been..I sure do miss our conversations and definitely those handshakes, love ya Pop ❤️🎶 . . . #Repost @mattsuarezmusic with @get_repost ・・・ I sit here thinking about my father's hands today, I can still feel the texture of his hands on mine when we would shake. His hands always felt to me like he did something in life, I want my hands to feel that way to someone else one day. But one day I may not remember that feeling due to time, it’s crazy how fast it goes by and how memories fade, but I hope I always remember it. Such a simple thing but it meant a lot ❤️ A hand shake like his can tell you everything you need to know about a person, Pop was good man. An uncommon man amongst the uncommon, the best. It’s been 8 months since you’ve been gone, Miss ya Pop and our hand shakes ❤️ “time moves slow when you’re seventeen and then it picks up steam and twenty one.” - @jasonisbell . #legend #mydude #thebestPop #noonecaresworkharder #justbebetterthanyesterday #keepmovingforward #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp #handshakesareimportant
Embrace the change ❤️🙌🎶 . . . . . . #Repost @__nitch with @get_repost ・・・ Alice Walker // "Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change... Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant... Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening... Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of personality is about to be revealed." . . . #changeisgood #keepmovingforward #mattsuarezmusic #getoutside #noonecaresworkharder #youreonlyasgoodasyourrecovery #handshakesareimportant #nitch #betheexampleyourelookingfor

This is a tune I wrote in 2018, the toughest year of my life. There was so much loss which included the biggest loss, the loss of my father. This song has so many meanings to it for me, I’m still learning how to be “ok” with all of them. John Lee Hooker said it best, “music is a healer.”. I truly believe that and I’m stoked for y’all to hear it. Much love to you all, I hope you enjoy it ❤️🤘🎶 . . . Also, this song will be release as a single soon!! Release date coming soon! . . . . #mattsuarezmusic #allivegotisyou #keepmovingforward #handshakesareimportant #single #originalsong #songwriting #singer #truthteller #letsgetweird #beadventurous #lossisinevitable #beyourself
A year and a half doesn’t even feel real. The 9th’s just keep adding up, it’s funny how that works. I can’t remember what happened two weeks ago but I can still feel your hand shake, smell your scent, hear your voice saying “what’s up kid?” every phone call...that’s surely my biggest fear is that one day my memory will fade as the years go by, but I’m working on my hands being as half as story filled as your’s were. definitely got a ways to go haha maybe I’ll find one on my hike tomorrow (please no more mountain lions lol). Really miss our conversations, especially on days like these. Cheers to ya Pop, I promise I’m doing my best. #beadventurous . . . . . #Pop #handshakesareimportant #keepmovingforward #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp #youwereright #mattsuarezmusic #thebest
Sometimes I write songs because they come from my subconscious and they just pour out and I have to figure out where they stem from later but sometimes it’s a very apparent feeling or journal of sorts on and good or not so good time/memory. This is one of those very apparent moments about a lot of loss in my life at one time, one of those losses was my father. Saturday the 9th will be a year and a half since he’s been gone and it feels more significant than ever...I haven’t felt very well this past month with anxiety and depression and this is one of those reasons, I guess it’s fitting that I want to release a single of this song next. He always joked with me about all the depressing songs I write haha but I’m positive he would’ve enjoyed this one 🤞😂 I haven’t released anything in a handful of years and it’s about time I suppose, I’ve been sitting on a lot of songs for quite a while. this is a clip from a live session I did in San Diego with the help of the one and only @b_shug 🤘🎶 this will be the first of a series of songs to come! Let me know what you think of the clip! Let’s get this post to 200 “likes” and I’ll post the entire video on YouTube and insta tv!! 👊 also, this tune will be on all steaming platforms soon as a fully produced single featuring @omarlopezbass on bass and @akcisneros on piano/organ & drums from @ogwailers 🤘 with the help of @fasttraxslo with mixing and mastering, I’m really proud of this song and really excited to release it to y’all 🙏 I’ll drop that date soon!! . . . “Be adventurous.” - Pop . . I’m working on it Pop...I love ya and miss our conversations. Oh, and I still feel that handshake ❤️🎶 . . #mattsuarezmusic #keepmovingforward #handshakesareimportant #youreonlyasgoodasyourrecovery #beadventurous #searchingforsasquatch #hideandseekchamp #allivegotisyou #bestfriends #onedayatatime #onedayillunderstand #createexplore
