Matt Maltese - Mother [Official Video]

[@JesusMartinez-en4xy]

I went to school with him! I hear him sing in a hallway one afternoon after soccer practice. Glad to see him pursue his passion for singing

[@calanito6547]

he played soccer?😲

[@chinitooppah3587]

Damn he went to school with Jesus

[@campyayay]

DUDE YOURE SOOOOO LUCKYYYY

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE GONE TO SCHOOL WITH JESUS HIMSELF

he's from Reading.. why would you call it soccer?

matt on what this song is about: "I had this sad, almost funny conversation with my mum a while back about breaking up with an ex-girlfriend, I'd known it had really affected her, and in her mind it was almost like a member of the family was just disappearing overnight. I realised more than ever the similarity between my own experience of heartache and hers. Just like you, they lose someone without choosing to lose someone, and they have even less agency than you do in the process." "I remember comforting her at the end of the conversation with a line I'd been told myself years before about the same relationship - “you'll learn to love again," I said - and both of us kind of laughed. You always feel like you're the main one hurting in a break-up, but relationships can form these webs that intertwine the people around you into them, and that's a lot of change and grief for everyone. And a lot of sad, almost funny conversations."

thanks evan, now im crying😭😭😭❤️

[@everett-9199]

A dear family friend of mine recently went through a very sad and very emotional break-up, and it's left her in a bit of a state. She is still suffering, and we are all sad for her and hurting with her, as she was the driving force of positivity in a lot of our lives. Seeing her that way and knowing she's hurting is hurting us all in equal turn, and I feel this story really sums up those feelings rather well. The intertwining webs of grief really make us all feel caught up in a seemingly isolated event, which unexpectedly echoes through others and others like ripples on water. I sent her this song yesterday and, like Matt, told her that she will learn to love again.

[@nope.2523]

Beautiful, sensitive Matt acknowledging that mothers also experience a loss when their son’s relationship ends. The pain we feel we keep to ourselves so that our sons can heal. Huge lump in my throat.

With songs like these, it's a great wonder how Matt doesn't have more recognition

[@ujika8164]

Agreed. Sometimes I like privately listening to Matt's poetic wonders. I'd love to see him get more recognition. It was super sad how this one girl did a cover of his biggest hit and got ten times more views.

[@in_cursive]

As the world caves in is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard! He’s an amazing songwriter.

[@tina127]

@@ujika8164 I know right? at least that one girl brought some more attention to people who wanted to know how beautiful the song sounded before

I hope this is a song out of love for your mother, and that you're not creating it because something happened to her, i love your music and you deserve to know that it makes everybody really grateful and happy for you.

[@abrahamlincoln86]

Just my interpretation from the lyrics. But I don’t think this is about anything bad happening to his mom. My takeaway is that it’s a song about a relationship ending where the girlfriend was close with his mother, the daughter she never had. It’s about the loss that is experienced when relationships end, not just between the people directly involved but their friends and family as well.

[@pelicanpelican2055]

@@abrahamlincoln86 this is exactly it

[@ronjasira]

@@abrahamlincoln86 yeah, at one of his recent concerts he introduced the song exactly like that!

[@kermitdeefrog4131]

@@abrahamlincoln86 I posted this before the song got released, but during the premiere, Matthew said that this song was about her mother that broke up with someone she loved.

[@sritharkarun]

I have no words to put for how much I adore him and his songs

[@Gacper]

Couldn't agree more.

[@abrahamlincoln86]

I know lots of people say this about their favorite artists. But I think we are truly blessed to have Matt and that he is truly one of the greatest singer/songwriters of our time. There’s only a handful of songs that have ever made me cry and over half of them are by him. And he’s done it again. God Bless Matt Maltese, can’t wait to see you in the States!

[@samuraibounds]

I don’t wanna make a big scene I just need a moment lying on this street If your lungs stop you die If you lose love that’s life What a blue sky All my friends they miss you alot I know your father probably hates my guts When a lover cuts ties Other people get caught In the crossfire And yesterday I told my mother You'll learn to love again I know she was the daughter You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her But I know the years can heal and if there is another Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her Tuesday with your wet hair in curls Wearing pajamas in the outside world Couldn't look in your eyes Then you got in your car and started to drive And yesterday I told my mother You'll learn to love again I know she was the daughter You never had and I know sometimes you might miss her But I know the years can heal and if there is another Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her And tomorrow I say mother You'll learn to love again I know you want to write her You'd never thought you'd grow a blood bond to another You didn't birth but that's the joy of human nature Some people stumble into your heart for all time

[@a-wanderingcloud0-014]

How beautiful different types of love can be.

[@Alslyn7]

this song is truly so lovely and appealing to me, though i could not relate to it when it first came out. just yesterday, my brother broke up with his girlfriend of 3 years, and i was in the car with my mother when she found out. when she called my brother, they were both crying. the girlfriend was like a second daughter to our mom, and my entire family loved her. this song was released at the perfect time, thank you matt for sharing this intimate moment in such a beautiful form. the way you write makes listeners feel like they are watching a movie, you are such an amazing writer and artist altogether.

[@TheStarlightBoi]

thank you for the early christmas gift matt

[@dearksito]

I love my mother, she is the most important woman in my life, this music is enough to dedicate to her, also it cannot be denied that this is one of the best music of matt, do not stop uploading more music.

I was a bit confused about the lyrics first time listening to the song. But the more times I listen to it, the more beautiful the lyrics get. It's such a masterpiece, expressing emotions in such creative ways 😭

[@MariAvgialien]

Matt … another beautiful and meaningful song … you really know how to make me cry when “I feel nothing at all” and everything at once. I hope you’re well … always 🦋

[@sophiepierce9921]

This is such a gorgeous song, I love that it covers a topic that's never really talked about, it looks at heartbreak from a really interesting perspective!

[@farrahnoersabrina4243]

Hey, I don’t know if you’ll ever read this, but I know you love Matt too so maybe there’s a chance you’ll stumble upon this little comment. I’m crying tonight, as i have been thinking about your mothers and how the love they gave me in these short three years has really changed me. How grateful I am for that little glimpse of family. It’s hard to say goodbye, and now I am alone again, motherless again. I know cutting ties with you means elongating the ties with them because I can’t be selfish to keep them around as you deserve your space to heal too. I want to write them, and I do sometimes. I send the first and last sentences sometimes, but most of the times I just keep it for myself. But it helps me a lot. There are a lot of other motherless kids in the world, and I am lucky as I know how rare it is to ever form that kind of relationship without a blood bound. That’s why ending it felt like hell. But it’s okay. I will be okay and I will move on my the heartbreak of you, and of losing them too. You take care of your mothers, okay? And while you’re still here, tell them I am always eternally grateful of the encounter, tell them I love them. And I love you too. Take care V. Godspeed.

[@bh24ice82]

So glad I got to hear this live as well. This is now one of my favourite songs

[@General_Nobles]

I interpret this as speaking to himself vicariously through his mother. "maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her" could be what he's trying to believe for himself, and convincing his mother to believe it too will validate him, and give him hope

[@taurius_]

i can't explain in words how much i love matt's songs. his songs always make me experience feelings i never knew i could feel. his songs help me a lot when i feel empty and helped me get through tough times. thank you matt for making music

[@shy3851]

I've been listening to this on amazon music, so i've never actually commented yet. But this is one of my favourite Matt Maltese (and tbh overall) songs. There is something so hypnotizing about listening to these lyrics, like poetry. But especially the way the words used to comfort your mother, sounds instead like you are trying to comfort yourself.

[@heynhamnham]

His words are towards his mom, but we all know he's consolating himself

[@nahanmehboob449]

Im not sure why i avoided this song for a while, but when i listened to this song this mother's day something snapped in me that made me feel i wanna go back to my mother and just tell her im sorry. And especially that line from the start "I dont wanna make a big scene, I just need a moment lying on the street" It was like a song was waiting for me to be listened and tell me "i feel you too"
