THE FIRST SINGLE RELEASE:
Everyday people wake up, look in the mirror and realize life is passing them by. For some, the pace of living is a good thing, because time allows wounds and pain to heal. For others, it makes them question their impact on their loved ones, and if they could have done more to make this a better place. Regardless, of how we feel about our life, the world continues around us. It is not waiting on us. At some point, we have to move on and make the best of past and present, and prepare ourselves for the rest of our lives. Each day someone, somewhere will cry tears of joy or pain, laugh hysterically, have a heart broken, break a heart, hold a newborn baby, or grasp a dying hand. All this takes place around us, no matter how bad we want things to change or stay the same, As Time Goes By.
"STRONG" (written by: Matthew Huff)
The end of any break up is never good when you are the one getting dumped. I wrote Strong as a follow up to Back Again. This song has a unique twist, as the verses are a reflection of how I truly felt about the same girl as Back Again is about. These are true feelings of the times we spent together and how emotionally connected I was with her, but still she threw it all away and my pain of her walking out reflects in the chorus. I truly cherished every single moment with her. In those back and forh relationships we all get to the point where we want to be able to get over the person that has hurt us. When it's all said and done we are much stronger for having been hurt. This song is for any friend that you know, that's been crushed by another person, to let them know that when it's all said and done, they will be Strong.
"I'D DO IT FOR YOU" (written by: Matthew Huff)
Every woman wants their significant other to be good to them, treat them with respect, dignity, and sweep them off their feet. However, being human, we all tend to have our faults and make mistakes in relationships. We all know that we have a lack of emotional stability after heartbreak and normally the next person to follow the heartbreak never gets a fair chance. Battling emotional decisions and unsure feelings, we more times than not miss out on a chance to get to know a great person. Though the next relationship rarely lasts, we do get to meet a great person and learn how to have fun again. I'd Do It For You is a true representation of being sorry for things you’ve done and
wanting to make them right.
"TOGETHER PERFECTLY" (written by: Matthew Huff)
A song that epitomizes a life long love. This song came so natural when writing it yet, I didn’t really have a direction when I began it. I devote this song to my grandpa, who I became extremely close to after my grandma had passed away in 2004. He went on to survive her by 4 years. In those 4 years I got to see a man who was once hardened by years of East Arkansas farming, North Arkansas cattle farming, World War II, and Vietnam. He became the most soft spoken, tender hearted, and humbling man I’ll ever meet. A man who worked with blood, sweat, and tears to provide for a family of 9 children and never lost the passion for his beloved wife. In my then 24 years I had never seen him cry, until after the loss of his love. My grandparents both hold a very special place in my heart and it is their passion of 62 years of marriage that I look up to and cherish in my heart. Together Perfectly is my song to them and to everyone that shares in this with them.
"YOU CAN'T FOOL A FOOL" (written by Terry Smith, Matthew Huff)
Many times in a relationship, one or the other fall out of love, while the other is left holding on. One is ready to move forward, feels guilty, but just can’t find the courage to announce their true feelings. It becomes obvious to him/her that the relationship has gone cold. We’ve all been down this road before and ignored the warning signs. At some point we’ve all been manipulated and misled through to the final day when you realize you’ve been fooled and held on to something untrue. Once you’ve been fooled once or twice you become more aware when someone is just playing the part and is no longer in love with you. You can see the end in sight, though it breaks your heart to break the ice, but you just can’t play the game anymore. It’s happened to us all at least once, but not again, because, You Can’t Fool A Fool! An emotional feeling about a girl whom I was in absolute love with. This song is and will always be the most special in my heart. Even though it’s a truly heartbreaking song, this song has all the emotion that I felt during the end of a long 3 year relationship. This song goes much deeper than just wanting a girl back. At that point in my life, I fell in love way to early in the relationship and got hurt over and over. It's sometimes tough to let go on something when you are hopeful of change. Even though through all the lies, manipulation, and deception we sometimes hang on. I think this is how we all feel at some point in our lives, someone has ripped our heart from our chest, and yet we just want them back, Back Again!
