Matthew Jay - Let Your Shoulder Fall (LIVE) on Jools Holland

[@kuwinsitall]

Matthew Jay was great. His music takes me back to being a Freshman in college back in 2001. Good memories.

[@edwinsuperable9030]

His songs are really great, such a waste the music world lost a great singer composer.

[@ingrid_inthesky]

I miss him. I recorded this on my camera when it aired cause I missed his name - I was transfixed. I wish he was still alive - he's beautiful and gentle. His other songs are amazing as well. It's a crying shame the circumstances.

2019 I'm still here

[@littledagny]

Rest in peace, Matthew.

[@steveshadforth]

so fucking tragic. Saw them in Manchester support Lowgold, was such a great concert.

[@apricotcat7741]

I was watching this on 10 August 2021. I was thinking of Matthew's name over years often, partly because he died maybe

[@davidfarrimond8891]

Loved this straight away. Just like yesterday but unfortunately for us it's not. I just remember how fragile his voice was, no doubt I would have been the same in his position.

[@apricotcat7741]

The same about what?

[@davidfarrimond8891]

Because it is a live TV show..

[@pleasure.93]

RIP Matthew Jay 🙏🏻💕

I'm reaching deep within myself I'm trying to tell you what I know I even kept the photograph Of when I nearly let you go You separate your love for me From every single one you had Away with all that's gone before Let your shoulder fall I'm coming for your love today It's lucky that you came this way I'm loving how I think about you now For many years it's been so slow And only now we start to know Just what it is to shoot out of our minds I'm shaking like a newborn tree My idol left without a trace I never thought you'd understand You licked the tears right off my face I couldn't trust the telephone It doesn't say the lies you mean Away with all that's gone before Let your shoulder fall I'm coming for your love today It's lucky that you came this way I'm loving how I think about you now For many years it's been so slow And only now we start to know Just what it is to shoot out of our minds Waves of sadness came On the beach today Hold on now it won't be long 'Till we're on our way I'm home for national holidays Let's hook up in a coffee bar Won't you bring your friend who's lost in space Don't you worry if it's not your car I'm joking, and I think you know I love it when you're playing dumb Away with all that's gone before Let your shoulder fall I'm coming for your love today It's lucky that you came this way I'm loving how I think about you now For many years it's been so slow And only now we start to know Just what it is to shoot out of our minds It would be amazing to see new covers, clearly crediting him. Everything’s on Spotfy PLEASE follow, like and share anything you find of his that you enjoy! His loss remains an unjust tragedy. Darling Matthew, forever young, forever missed, forever loved x

miss him so much

[@connorlangley44]

a friend of mine used to play songs with him years ago. i heard he just accidentally fell out of a window. he was a great songwriter. shame. i still listen to his album now and then.

[@Dermot2927]

Have a read about him. There are suggestions that his death may not have been as straightforward as reported.

[@apricotcat7741]

Maybe he was sitting by the window and accidentally fell out of it

[@polkadolt]

@@apricotcat7741 no accident

Great song, RIP Matthew...

[@CrashExhibition]

His family are apparently desperately trying to get the police to further investigate the case. he had 1/2 a glass of wine in him when he died. No drugs. He was NOT alone in the apartment, 3 drinking glasses were removed, the police refused to investigate the prints on those glasses. That's the real tragedy. Only just heard of this guy, but he was a very talented musician.

[@apricotcat7741]

Why refused?

[@polkadolt]

@@apricotcat7741 a number of reasons. For one, had it been the female passing away under these circumstances, it would have been dealt with very differently. No male privilege here, it was an unjust tragedy

[@jordancullen]

Rock 'n' roll cliches glamorize an early death but that's bollocks. Rest in peace Matthew.

[@vegasrebel781]

Gone too soon

[@hollowaymassive]

... & there's a new album coming in 2008

[@Dermot2927]

I find the lead guitar a little intrusive.

[@samhempton824]

Hi just thought i'd check this out and yeh the guitar was not right on this. Sorry, my fault, I just came out of a much heavier band and pitched it wrong.

[@WestcountryJess]

Yeah, great news eh?!

[@hollowaymassive]

[@turpin77777777]

he is dead? what the fuck, when did that happen?

[@pollyethylene]

"Idiotic"? Way to be insensitive.. the last I heard whether or not his death was an accident or suicide was undecided.. nobody really knows what happened. Even if it was a suicide.. a little respect man!

[@turpin77777777]

Fuck me - news travels fast huh? Thanks to Christ for the internet.
