Go Ahead, Celebrate

Go Ahead, Celebrate Little girl Lulu Cornes in the pouring rain She never thought twice about love, the money or the pain Won’t find a pretty smile like hers on no magazine Roll the dice twice on love and she’ll do it all again That’s twice I had to mend Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate like we used to Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate Kept it to herself but Loretta dreams of the ocean Like a jewel in a crown young girl shine like midday sun So the scene was a beautiful thing on a moonstruck boat And she wondered if the silence stretched on all the way back home We’ve all got wounds to heal Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate like we used to Hey go ahead celebrate, celebrate I ain’t gonna tell you something more We’ve all got wounds to heal

about

"Go Ahead, Celebrate" was written in late 2019. My band was riding high, having won the Music Victoria Award for best Country Album, we were being invited to play some amazing festivals and shows, and were preparing to record the new album. We were feeling good, and after the highs and lows of the previous three albums, this song was about taking stock of what you have and celebrating the moment.

The song and the new album will be the third album to be produced by myself and long time guitarist Andrew Pollock, and I feel the song sentiment still rings true. Perhaps even more so today in the face of what appears to be a completely changed landscape for myself and much of society as whole. Now, more than ever, I feel we need to celebrate the little things, the moments together, the wins.

"Like a jewel in a crown, young girl shine like midday sun”.

about

Matt Joe Gow Melbourne, Australia

Few artists wield so much charisma that they can sell you just about anything before you’ve realised what’s happened. Matt Joe Gow has the charisma to be one of those artists – but he isn’t.

Matt concentrates on the conviction. You don’t have to listen to more than ten seconds of Matt's award winning albums to appreciate that. Barroom Americana with confiding closeness.
