The latest single by Matty Myatt is “When I’m Dead Just Throw Me In The Trash” and it is an emotional and well-produced folk-rock tune with punk influences. The song which is the last of the three songs in the EP “Self Help Wanted Ads” is a message of hope to embrace the unknown of life.
The track begins with a friendly acoustic guitar sound and polished instrumentation perfectly fitting Myatt’s rich and powerful voice. His performance shines, revealing a raw vulnerability that feels both personal and honest. The lyrics, stripped of overly complex metaphors, resonate deeply, encapsulating the absurdity of life and finding beauty in the unknown. The hooks are catchy and stick in your head for days after listening to the song, the lyrics in the verses are meaningful and beautifully written and the production is creative and sound professional.
What makes this single special is its ability to balance melancholia with humor and hope, giving people hope and making them think about life. Myatt’s growth as an artist is obvious, as he moves away from the use of metaphors and employs a more direct and honest lyrical style. I found myself repeatedly playing this song because of the energy and the mood it created. It is a strong piece that shows great promise for Myatt and I am excited to see what he does next.
