Sweet Collapse

by Matt Joe Gow

/
1.
Sweet Collapse I took the bandage off To let it breathe See with the blindfold gone you can see From the port I kept moving I said a river to the sea Times I was in too deep Take a hold of me now In my sweet collapse Cos we ain't going back you heard me right my rose Take a hold of me now In my sweet Collapse There were nights I barely felt the cold Other days I was young but feeling old Times I’d barely recognise you Or recognise myself Took the mirror off the shelf Take a hold of me now In my sweet collapse Cos we ain't going back you heard me right my rose Take a hold of me now In my sweet Collapse I dream him still, I dream you all With so many lost before the fall In a heavy fog kept moving Though my heart’s back there Where my soul laid bare

about

“Sweet Collapse”, the second single from the upcoming fourth album, was written as a sequel to his popular song and show closer “Georgia Rose”.  The song mirrors its predecessor with an ‘old time’ feel, lush three-part harmonies, and Southern textures, whilst also expanding on the journey at the centre of Joe Gow’s album Seven Years.  Now, nearly seven years further down that path, we revisit that story…

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.
