the shore by Matt Mclure

[@JanetCummings-rb9ud]

I have been battling my son's addiction for 30 yrs! Three decades and this super hero has taken off her cape and she's swimming for the shore with his 12 yr old son! This song speaks to me, I get it! Thank you for this song!

This hit me in the feels like no other song has in a very long time. I cried the tears I needed to.. finally. Then hung up my hat and walked away. Thank u ❤

[@katyselbe1646]

Incredibly soul touching phenomenaly written and delivered. Your genuine raw tender emotions exposed for the world to see and experience along side you is badass brave. We need more artists who aren't afraid to be real and true to themselves . Your gift as a song writer and singer touched my soul and I know others couldn't agree more. I look forward to hearing more from you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.. phenomenal.

I was with the sane woman for 32 years. Loved her the best I knew how. She told me many times I was the only one to make her happy. Well, she had an affair and left. Broke my heart into a million pieces. Prayed for her for over a year. Tried to trade my soul for hers. But I can only save myself. My good friend Pam, who is very sick....please pray for her, sent me this song last year. All I could do was cry. But now I'm swimming towards shore and as much as I wanna turn around I can't. I have to reach shore

[@monagiebner3440]

I spent 20 years in a toxic marriage before finally leaving about 8 years ago. It gets easier I promise. Just don't let them back in. You'll get stronger every day and it will get easier every day. You'll notice the hurt fade into anger and the anger fade into peace...eventually....and it'll be worth it. Be strong, stay strong...

[@rich5973]

@@monagiebner3440 Thank you for taking the time to read my reply and actually replying to me. It's been 16 months but the last 2 days have been extremely hard on me. The sale of the house and the fear of not knowing where I'm going to move has put me in a depression. But God sent me another person...you...to help lift me up. Thank you

39 years with him and he left (after he assaulted me in the middle of the night) - with a skank 30 years his junior and he spent close to $7000 on a blow up dildo🙄 Stupid is - Stupid does! He’s in his late 60’s. .. a real mental case! I love this guy! I’m waiting for a clean version to purchase.

[@ninabelcher1227]

Been there done that! He's now a febrile old man 20 years my senior. God did save me from all the.pain he.put me through. Seeing him after 25yrs later... God saved me from the tourte that I was being subjective to. Thank you Lord for giving my life back as I know now. It could have been worse if ie wasn't for you lord.

[@williamgravenor3293]

Amen God bless you 🙏

[@unclecracker3158]

This is such a breath of fresh air. The expressions of how a toxic relationship pulls you down. The realization of letting going is the only way to live. It hits so hard. The acknowledgment of it being difficult. Wow! I tell people they are not alone in their struggles. I needed this. So many others need this. This is not the end; the sentence carries on.

[@cynthiasayman198]

[@jpsraugust213]

I hope that you have full custody of the boys and if you don't then you should try because the boys deserve better. Even if you had to set her up with the law then do it. Do what's best for the kids.

[@nadinedavis4246]

This song makes me think of what my son has put me through. It's so dark loving a drug addicted soul

[@cindyfross1645]

WOW! I can’t believe I’ve not heard your music before. I’ve tried everything under the sun to help my sister for 30 years with drugs and alcoholism. That’s what this song means to me. Finally 5 years ago when I got very sick and almost died she was staying with me, of course. I enabled her for way too long. My son found me on the floor and took me to the hospital where they kept me for two weeks thinking I wouldn’t ever leave the hospital alive. I told them all to just watch me. Two weeks later I walked out but with a rare terminal lung disease and was given 3-5 years to live. Again I said “oh bullshit, just wait and see” I had a pulmonary function test done and the Dr was shocked that my results were normal. I asked if they were normal for the disease or normal for someone without it. He said normal for someone without it. I still have the disease but I believe the power of prayer has given me more time. I got home from hospital and my sister and her alcohol bf were in my house and smoking one after another and I was too weak to do anything. I told them I can’t be around that smoke, it was a small house with very little air flow. Only two very small windows opened. I rented after my 25 year marriage ended. That is when I decided they had to go. Thank you for this song. Though, I have done nothing today, literally, but listen and watch your videos. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. God Bless you

This song hit me so hard. I swam to the shore for my life! As much as I loved him he just got worse and the abuse was unbearable. Ran away fast and far when 8 yrs later he found me. By then I still had nightmares or PTSD but he can never hit or hurt me again! I love these songs, beautiful voice and words!

[@joshjolin6608]

This song came on at random and I wrote this in response. When I was a child I found the key because of two very well intentioned people. I reentered the cave as an adolescent when I saw others in the cage who last their keys. Stayed for while, lost my own. Then found it and took to the door. Again as a teenager trying again to explore and still too many around behind locked doors. Back to the cage on a mission hoping to find them reprieve. Alas, I was still too naïve. My key lost once more. Took me a couple years before I would again learn to breathe. Back up strong as a young adult too many around and I began to insult. Tripped and fell back through that door. Faith, I began to explore. Soul searching for who I was meant to be. Broke through the cage in fervent prayer. Soon met my match and we walked hand in hand for awhile, we were free. As we ran together through ups and downs we began to feel the world reigning over our two little Wees. Grappling, climbing, clambering on we stayed together and kept marching along as we all got on our feet. Round and round seeing through each ebb and flow determined to see our boys free. Alas on last round we hit the ground. Back to the cave this time through away the key. Knew too well that it was time to grow and gather up all who were on there knees. In time the door opened but I stayed. Longing for vision to share the key so that those with would no more be played. Studied, witnessed, listened and learned not wanting any more to be burned. Fumbled, flubbed, scorched and torn friends, loved ones all forlorn. So I took to grieve. This round, I got up meek and broke but my heart grew stronger and spine straightened out as my mission was incomplete. A message to share of faith and peace, within understanding one can reach the freedom so long out of reach. No obstacles to derail your way. Take at look at yourself and grant grace within. We all had lessons to learn they were not your end. Blessings to you your family and friends. I pray that find your keys. Should you lose your faith or your way. No worries I’ve trodden that path before. I’m happy to join you behind that door side by side we shall find your home as the journey affords. To your OM to your family to your state of be. I thank all those who modeled faith. Who inspired, perspired, mired and cheered. Thank you mother / father / friends, thank you sister/ brother, cousins uncles and aunts. Thank you bosses , laborers and peers. Thank you lovers / besties from my heart. Thank you kids for lighting up the spark in me. The moment you were born you set me free. Blessings, shalom chaverim (should we meet again) wade in the water and you’ll find my friend. Just knock knock on heavens door and you’ll see yourself the door to your freedom, health and wealth. At the blink of an eye you are free

I didn't know how much I needed to hear this song until I came across it you know they say sometimes music has a way of saving your life and I would have to agree with it with some I think it is probably one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard in my life to be honest and it was something I needed to hear because sometimes you can't keep loving what you're to the most if they're not going to love you and take care of you then you got to do it yourself so this was what I needed to hear tonight and I'm thankful to the gentleman that wrote in summit thank you for such an amazing song

[@susanankney5113]

Matt I been following you since almost the beginning. I have shared your music with so many and you are a true heart reader!!! But as much as you are healing people I wonder has anyone healed you?!?! I'm not a Bible thumper but I do have a real relationship with God. So many religions and cults that are more about money and having membership that they shove people away from God all together. He is real! And the only thing that saves us is His son and what he did for us. He commanded His followers to repent and be baptized and tell others. That's it!!! Many make it complicated adding and taking away. I pray you read this as it seems you do read all!!! I pray if you haven't already you will seek that salvation!!! It's not in a building or a religion it's in the Bible and it's between you & God!!! I'm only on Facebook, I use to DJ, I wish I still did, I'd play the hell outta your songs!!! God Bless...

To love an addict this song hit me pretty hard . I tried to be there fir him he said he would quit. He just thought he would hide it but you can't hide lnodding out all the time . Had to let go when I realized he made the choice to love that life over loving one we could have . I felt more alone with him there than I did being alone . Sometimes you have to let go and save yourself . This song really hit me hard . I hope one day he will look back and know he left me no other choice. I'll be here when he is ready . Love you for who you are not what you have become and I pray you find your way back before its to late . ❤
