Wow, Matt. Such incredible imagery and authenticity! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and life here. I’m not sure where I was during the Elliott Smith music era (in the throes of raising kids?) but I’m going to give his music a listen. I love this piece as I consider the connection theme that’s been showing up lately.
Is it wrong that I hear Madeleine Peyroux when I read those "Between the Bars" lyrics? In all seriousness, I always appreciate how unflinchingly open you are. Thanks for writing, Matt.
Thank you so much! I'm glad it's relatable. My goal, if anything, is that someone out there is able to relate and know they're not as alone as they might think.

Thanks, Holly! Once I read your piece last Wednesday I knew I wanted to dig a little deeper into the connection aspect. I'm glad it resonated.
Hope you enjoy the music!

Thanks! I hadn’t heard of her before. I’m going to have to give her a listen.
Thank you. For your own music of words.

Thank you, Laura. That’s awesome, I’ll have to give it a rewatch!
I thought this was amazing-the part about “how did you let us get here” --so incredibly wrenching and powerful.
