Biography:
Inspired by a vast variety of artists, from Brian Wilson to Stevie Wonder, singer/songwriter/pianist Matt Simons pushes himself to grow beyond those influences to find his own voice and create his own sound. Often compared to Jamie Cullum, John Mayer and Adam Levine, Simons also infuses his piano based pop-rock with hints of jazz and R&B.
Much of 2011 was spent on tour. In addition to visiting most of the US, he ventured to the UK, Netherlands and Germany in support of his 2010 release, the EP Living Proof.

Gm F
Take me home
B B/D Eb
When I was younger
Gm F B B/D Eb
All the parts unknown would feed the hunger
Bm/G F
When I'm on my own

Gm F
Take me back

Back to the time when

Now the cold hard facts

So we cry when we try
Cm7 Gm
While we empty out our eyes

We grin and we bear till the end

Or we put them back together and then

We can tear it up all over again

To lean or for resting my head
