about

Produced by Jon Bindley

“The inspiration for this song was actually pretty silly, a friend of mine was commenting on how short she was and said, ‘I'm closer to the ground than all of you.’ When I heard that I knew I could twist those words a bit and put some meaning to them,” expressed singer/songwriter Alex Matson. He wrote the song, then one of his oldest musical friends, Donovan Jack whipped up some really nice piano work. It came together nicely.

Alex started out playing guitar when he was in seventh grade. After practicing for four or five months he got a few friends together to play a talent show for their school. “We just killed it! We even got booked to play a house party right after we got off stage. That first standing ovation is embedded in my mind and I've been chasing the music dream ever since.”
Alex draws a lot from Lukas Nelson’s music. “His lyrics have many times spoken to me very deeply and I want my lyrics to have the same passion behind them.”
