Hi again! So this is part two of catching up on requests from a couple of weeks back...

This is a recording of me hanging in my lounge and singing a couple of songs on the guitar. 🎶

(Also, yeah, I did end up doing my own backing vocals...🗣🎙😆)

Denee Leery

Holy shit dude! Just FYI you will be singing me to sleep now all the time 😂

Niamh

You need to give yourself more credit Matt, the production on this is so ethereal and you sing really well! I particularly loved what you did with Hallelujah, the melody of the backing vocals mixed with the main tune was hauntingly beautiful.

toweraudios

💙I would love to do that! Hmm... Is there such a thing whispery singing ASMR lullabies? I must look that up... 😘

toweraudios

Thanks, Niamh! I can’t believe you made it all the way through hahaha. 🤣😂 Just kidding - thanks so much for the good review!!! 😊😌

Chubbycheeks_20

Your voice is amazing! You put my baby right to sleep😊❤️ I hope you make more of these

toweraudios

Maybe you could sometime when you get a chance?! You could record it and post a link here as a reply? 💙

Venusinaphrodite_

Hallelujah is one of my favorites! you have a lovely singing voice! Very much soo like drinking whiskey, smooth but the gravel when you hold your runs is soo satisfying. If you could only play 1 song ever again, what would it be?

toweraudios

😻Oh my! That is toooooo cute! Ah! No words! Ah! 🥰 🥺

toweraudios

Thanks VV! I’ll stay random, promise! It seems like there’s no end to ideas you all give me! My ‘To Do’ folder is crazy. It’s gonna take years to get though already...😆💙

Genade

This was so lovely. Played it for Mum. It's Mother’s Day evening here. She thinks I commissioned you just for her. She sang along beautifully to Hallelujah. 23.57500; -164.70028 – I’ll send the corporate jet. Ooops

toweraudios

Thanks!!! It probably would be Hallelujah! But I’m a big Lana Del Rey fan and I probably spend more time learning and playing her songs than anyone else. It’s just like - which song though? I learned her new song White Dress last night...

toweraudios

😍That is too cool!! I'm packing my bags. Tell your Mum I know some Motown songs too. Now, those coordinates... 👀

Venusinaphrodite_

She's an amazing lyricist! Her storytelling ability is👌 Does it take you a while to learn a song or do you pick it up easily?

toweraudios

So cool! Southern choir style gospel music always gives me the chills... 💙🎶

Charlotte

I love love love this - Your singing voice is like cotton for the soul... I will listen to this ever night from now on - You need to sing for us way more often, please!

LJ

Oh my god that is such a good idea, Genade! It is mother's day for me too and Hallelujah is one of her top 5 fav songs. She would love to hear this. Now I have to figure out how to not forget to have her listen when she gets back from Boston. That is the tricky part 🤔

toweraudios

🥰That is way too kind, but thanks so much, Charlotte!!! Okay! I will do another one in a few weeks! Maybe a little softer whispery and lullabyish... 💙

toweraudios

It usually takes me a couple of evenings at least - even if I get the chords/music online somewhere - and then I'm often like: nope can't sing that one. 😂 Yeah LDR is a total storyteller! I think people take her too literally sometimes - but she's even said that she works with a kind of persona....

LJ

Why you do this to me, Matthew? You almost had me in tears while closing the coffee shop, singing Lord Huron. I fucking love Lord Huron. And you gave me the same shivers he gives me. So fucking good. I didn't look him up after the AMA audio and that was my loss because Marlon Williams is great! He is now on my Spotify likes list and Death Don't Have No Mercy goes great on my dark and gritty bluegrass playlist. He has a very Elvis kind of vocal tone and affect but darker and grittier and I am here for it. I should put you on my friends-who-give-great-music-recommendation list. Btw, I would sing back up for you any day, put my many years of vocal lessons to good use finally 🙄 lol. But you definitely don't need it cause your one man album would be just as great as this was. I would like to request The Night We Met by Lord Huron and Lay Lady Lay by Bob Dylan next!

Genade

You could play it while FaceTiming so you both can sing together. Matt left it downloadable. You could attach it to an email.

Emily Dawn

“Hi everyone🥺. I hope it’s okay if I sing you a couple songs. 👉🏻👈🏻 I hope this isn’t too terrible for you.” **Proceeds to unleash impressively polished tracks using an angelic singing voice.** “Anyways, I hope that was okay. 🙇🏻‍♂️” Come. On. You sound great and you know it. 😍 I’m a singer myself. Maybe someday, in another life, we could sing together. 😘🎙

kylie

Oh wow, I love Lord Huron! What a treat. I actually saw them live a few years ago and they were fantastic. If you like them, give Trampled by Turtles a listen! “Alone” is a favorite of mine. If you don’t already listen to Father John Misty, I also recommend him! Also I started listening to your audios for, you know, the horny reasons but remember listening to the Valentine’s Day audio and being like “wow this music is FANTASTIC” and now it’s a second little treat for me trying to listen to the music in your audios 😂 If you ever make a public playlist I’ll be the first to sign up for sure.

toweraudios

Lay across my big brass bed!!! I am also a massive Dylan fan. Definitely a Dylan cover for next time. For sure. Absolutely.

toweraudios

Yes! I know Father John - Tillman - since his Fleet Foxes days - another band I love to death (and loved seeing live!). Personally, I wish he'd stayed with them but hey - yeah, he's maybe a bit too talented to be behind a drum kit the whole time huh?!😁 I'll check out TbyTs! Haven't heard them!

Kitty

This was absolutely amazing! You have such an amazing voice. So loved listening to this at work thank you lol.

Venusinaphrodite_

Pshhh yes you can! We all have the proof of your singing abilities. The only place I can get away with singing is my shower or my car, some things you just can't unhear😂😂😂💀 I totally agree! I think working with a persona gives her more leeway creatively because then she doesn't just have one "type" of song to stick to. Her lyrics are deeper then face value. I really like Cherry Blossom.

Lori

Awww! I really enjoyed that. 🥰 I knew that you would have a really nice singing voice! I was smiling the whole time. 😁 Thank you.

toweraudios

🥰Now that is waay waay too kind! But I kinda figured you'd all be nice to me... You sing!? Do share!! You can post a link!?! 🙏🥺

LJ

Also that beginning? *Fumble* "Fuck. Great way to start." *Chuckles* That was so relatable. How I have started every performance ever. Preshow jitters. 😂😂

Tara Davenport

I mean...I’m not opposed to this becoming a regular thing 👀

toweraudios

Thank-you for listening, Kitty!! I'm so proud I could be a little part of your working day!! 🥰

LJ

Omg you are so right. You know, you said it last time and I never did say I just love you too! Thanks so much for pointing that out. She refuses to FaceTime anyone for any reason but I am definitely gonna send it to her. Is it weird that my goal with mother's day gifts is to get my momma to cry? Lol

toweraudios

Aw! Thanks Lori! Now I'm doing a Cheshire Cat impression! 😻😸😽x

toweraudios

But the sexy talk, Tara! 😁(Okay, I'll make it an occasional kinda thing)... xx😘

toweraudios

👆🏻OMG!!!! NOW THAT IS SINGING!!! 👆🏻Thanks so much Emily!! You're a total professional. Now, I really feel shy hahaha! 😂Oh man - - We all need to do a talent show post sometime!!

Charlotte

Yes please - i didn't think it could get any softer then this but I won't complain.

Emily Dawn

You’re the sweetest. 🥰 I’m no professional, but that’s nice of you to say. If you want to hear more shit-quality iPhone recordings I’m happy to oblige. I know nothing about sound design. 😆 And don’t feel shy- your voice is heavenly.

Pisces Queen

Hey MT! Wow thanks for sharing your talented singing voice with us! Your strumming was excellent! Which songs from Motown do you love to play...there's so many classics?

toweraudios

Thanks!!! So so so many classics huh?! Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, The Four Tops, The Temptations... But I think two of my favourites from that period never recorded for Motown - Sam Cooke and Otis Redding (but I still put them all together)... Not that I can actually sing this stuff - I’ll die trying 🤪these singers are next next next level huh...

Lavender Belle (Jenn)

Holy crap! Is there anything you can’t do? I LOVE your singing!

Pisces Queen

I love Otis Redding! The Glory of Love, Try a little Tenderness and These Arms of Mine are my favorites. I Love anything of The Temptations and The Supremes. Marvin Gaye with Tammi Terell on Ain't no mountain High Enough is my jam. Hope you can play more tunes for your audience soon. Your truly something special and enigmatic😊

toweraudios

Thanks soo much Jenn!!! 🥰😍 (And ha - plenty of things: for instance, I’m a terrible mechanic and I can only rollerskate anticlockwise 🤣) 😘x

toweraudios

And BTW you're also booked in for the talent show or collectively made internet song next month.

Simmer Ashley

holy shit this was amazing! i really loved your cover of love like ghosts

Elly

Holy fuck. That was an amazing sample. You have a beautiful rich voice. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

Drizzy231

Love this! I’m from Auckland but haven’t been back for many years. Definitely gave me a dose of home sickness! Your tone is very evocative! Definitely gonna listen again soon ☺️

toweraudios

Love the Tammi and Marv version best too! but I’ll check out The Glory of Love - I don’t know that!!

toweraudios

Hey Ashley!! Ha!! Thanks so much!! 👻🤍

LJ

That was gorgeous, Ms Emily! Very warm. And I love Tennessee Whiskey. And you are right, it was originally by David Allen Coe, who is pretty perfect to reference here. He did a whole slew of really dirty songs titled things like Cum Stain on the Pillow, Finger Fuckin' Sally, Whip and Things, Masturbation Blues, etc. Very good song selection. 👍👍

Emily Dawn

Thank you for listening, Elly. 😊 And thank you, Lindsay Jo! ♥️ Tennessee Whiskey is one of my favorites to sing because of all the vocal runs. I forgot it was David Allen Coe! My favorite of his is You Never Even Called Me by My Name aka “the perfect country and western song” 😆.

Venusinaphrodite_

Totally have a confession lmao so yesterday when I realized Hallelujah was the last song I got soo nervous and I stopped it before I listened. So it's 5:40 in the morning and I finally played it and I CRIED you jerk, no one makes me cry my own tears😂😂😂😂😂 I'm such a dork🙈 Anyways there's your dose of nerdy Kelsey for the day😂

Phoenix013

Wow!!! Not sure where to start on this....First Kudos for stepping out of your comfort zone and going for it!! You sounded great. There is a gravel in your voice at times that is pretty damn amazing! Loved all the song choices, each were beautiful in their own way...Hallelujah is no easy song to try to sing..so bravo. I do hope you choose to do more of these ❤

LJ

That is exactly the song I had to go listen to after hearing you. Lol I like to pretend that I am not a country music fan but it's a total lie. I am just selective about my country. Gotta be nice and bluesy or gritty or heartbreaking. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMebES4yc/

Emily Dawn

Yessss!!! Same here on the country music LMAO. Although recently I’ve taken on an IDGAF attitude about nearly everything. If you want to be my friend, you’re just going to have to deal with a little bit of my country-ass song selections. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤠 I saw upthread somewhere that you’re a singer as well?! Are you going to share with the class? 😉 No actual pressure, of course.

LJ

I have already picked out my song to share. ☺️ However, at this moment I have a bad case of laryngitis from my outrageous allergies and the weather change where I live. My voice fluctuates between nonexistence and squeaking like a pubescent boy. No one wants to hear that. I have been diligently drinking tea and gargling salt water and now I have new motivation to continue all the home remedies to try and get my vocal cords to make sounds that at least resemble something human again. 😂🤣😂 Shit slapping me in the face with my croaky, squeaky voice is the fact that I tried to write this with voice-to-text and my phone couldn't work out what words I was saying 🙄🐸🤐

its_me_erica

I was literally just thinking the same thing 😄

its_me_erica

You are way too modest...I wish I could sing half as well as that! Beautiful voice💜 Thank you for putting this out for us!

Emily Dawn

I’ll be on the lookout for your big debut. 😌 I have a stutter when I’m nervous or stressed out, so I have also gotten some very interesting voice to text results. 🥴

toweraudios

Kelsey! 💙🌷That is soo intensely heartwarmingly lovely to hear!!! You’ve just made my morning!! (Coincidentally it has just passed 5:40am in NZ time as I type this!) ‘Hallelujah’ totally pulls on my tear-strings too - in fact I have a whole list of songs that do 😂🤣😅!! Have a great day!!🥰

toweraudios

Thanks so much for this note!! I usually keep the singing to a late Friday night with a few friends, so it’s just a relief that I’m not being torched for it haha. No - I knew you’d all be kind about it!! Have a great day!! X 💙💐

toweraudios

Haha! Modest or realistic!? You’re way too kind Erica!! But thanks for the encouragement!! Now... back to sexytalk.... oh... and I forget if I’ve mentioned- I had the coolest idea the other night for a Lovense audio called ‘TOYFRIENDS’ coming soon... 😘

its_me_erica

Definitely modest😄 Hmm...that audio sounds intriguing! Whatever it is, I'm in!

Venusinaphrodite_

Aww I'm soo glad it did! Ha guess we're on the same wavelength then😉 it's afternoon now in California. Do you really? Dont tease! Now you have to play them(only if you're comfortable) I'd love to hear them if my tear-strings can stand it😂😍❤

toweraudios

Oh that is too harsh and too kind at the same time!!! 💙😘 The Handsome Family! have seen their name pop up on my Apple recommendations so I’ll give them listen after work! X

Patricia

Question: are all responses public purview? I ask as I'd like to respond but not for public viewing?

toweraudios

Hi Patricia - yes, the comments are public, but you can send insults to me via the message function if you like! So long as they’re reasonably wholesome! 🤣

toweraudios

Oh!! 🤦🏻‍♂️Yes I have their song ‘Weightless Again’ already - I heard them on ‘True Detective’ months ago and downloaded a few. 😆

toweraudios

I’ll look her up. My latest adds in the Country/Americana playlist: Waxahatchee’s cover of ‘Light of a clear blue morning ‘ Paper Mountain - Mandolin Orange First Aid Kit cover ‘Suzanne’ The new Lord Huron song - ‘I lied’ is heartbreaking.

Whiskey Mittens

Matt! I can’t believe you played my favorite Crowded House song! I discovered Lord Huron last year and The Night We Met has got to be the most heartbreaking song. 🥺 Now I’m listening to more of the catalogue and looking forward to seeing them here in SF this fall at Outside Lands. (And Vampire Weekend!)🤗 Keep up the music posts. 👏🏻👏🏻

toweraudios

Hey Mittens! That’s so cool you love that CH song - I was even later to Lord Huron - but their new song ‘I Lied’ which is a breakup duet - it’s just as devastating... 😭😩... I’m so jealous you’re gonna see them live and haha - Vampires ’Father of the Bride’ was my most played album of 2019... so much that they get the 3 of my top 5 most played songs 😂 https://ibb.co/zrjr7Ks

Whiskey Mittens

Harmony Hall is such a great song! 💜 Have you heard Lord Huron’s cover of Neil Young’s Harvest Moon?

toweraudios

Have now! He’s doing such a perfect impression! 😆

Clara

Welcome to my study music ✌🏻 you just helped me finish my math homework and the reading task for pedagogy 😂😂

Genade

More please.

toweraudios

💙Yay! Glad I could help you start awake during the pedagogy reading!! For me that stuff is a great cure for insomnia...🤣

LJ

Genade how do you feel about Queen Nip being your nickname on your t-shirt? 😂

LJ

I just finally got my mom to listen to you singing Hallelujah. She could never figure out the clip I sent her for mother's day. But we just listened to it together 🖤🖤🖤. She closed her eyes and rocked back and forth, I even asked her if I should get her a lighter to wave in the air. 🤗🤗 She just loved it. I told her that you claim to not be much of a singer and she said, "I wish I weren't much of a singer like him." 🖤😊😚🤗

toweraudios

🥰Oh, that’s so so sweet!! I’ll think of your lighter joke when I’m lighting my candle at bath time later! Give your mom a hug from me!! 🤗💙

LJ

Ooo thinking of me at bath time? I feel honored 😘I will tell her you sent the next hug I give her. I am sure she will get flustered and blush profusely. 🤗🥰

Charlotte

I played this for my son right before his finals today. His favorit song of all time is Hallelujah - Matthew - your voice just cut the anxiety right out off people. I never seen him that calm before. I have said thank you so many times now that I sound like I'm set on repeat.. But again - Thank you!

toweraudios

Wow!!! That is so cool!!! I hope it all goes brilliantly for him. High fives from me and Leonard Cohen for his taste in music too...🙌

FluffyReads

Hi I am new here, but had to share this hehe em... so I was feeling a little down today, so tonight I took a walk to the harbour and beach at sunset... I had heard this audio before and thought it was beautiful, so I put it on as I sat by the water, just watching the sunset as I listened to this audio... heh... I'm back home now and well... let's just say we added that to the cure for the blues 😉

FluffyReads

Thank you for that btw. Matt 😊

Charlotte

He did amazing! We listen to everything from Heavy Metal to Gospel music in this house - everything goes!

toweraudios

That’s so cool - thanks for this picture, Kia! I feel very special to be on the soundtrack for that little moment in time! 💙 I hope the rest of week is better for you! X

FluffyReads

Thank you 🥰 I hope it was nice to hear about it, it was definitely nice for me ^-^ well after finding your audios I at least have something that helps the frustration (both body and mind heh) 🥰 things are looking up, but I will still enjoy your special form of entertainment even on the best days 😉🥰

FFSWhatudoin2me (K)

(Part 1️⃣) No surprise I’m here smiling so hard at the start… you are too delightful… ❤️ SFW… I can’t… 😅 As soon as you said the first band name, me 🚶🏾‍♀️💨 Apple Music. Do I know them?… First track: “Weather with You” (YES 😵❤️ *mouth jut* … UGH the melody… the harmonies… the good vibes… the production… timeless…) OMDays… YES “Don’t Dream It’s Over” another GEM ❤️ … memories of growing up listening to ‘American Top 40’. 🙃 Are you pondering what I’m pondering? - I was meant to binge on you today… and get to this one. 🙃 Adding to my Easy Listening Playlist. Going through their songs, these ones move me… “Better Be Home Soon” and “Bad Times Good” 😍🎵 I’ll listen to them across the next week. Thank you. 😘 From now on, whenever I hear them, I’ll think of you. 🙃 They suddenly reminded me of Six Pence Non The Richer - “Kiss me” #musicisthefoodoflifebaybee🎵♥️🎶 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Okay… back to listening to you… 🙃 (yes I type my thoughts as I listen a lot of the time… want to capture my FEELs in the moment 🙂… don’t you laugh at me… 😜). Awww… the premise of the first song is so moving… ⏩ 💭 OMG I just listened to and connected with that one. *mouth jut* Carry a tune… you are so DELIGHTFULLY HUMBLE ❤️… you know we find that incredibly alluring right? 🙂😻 You have a lovely voice. Loving the harmony you layered on. 😘🤗 Your singing vocal here is such a great contrast to your speaking voice… higher pitch. You’re reminding me of one of my fave characters in Home and Away. Yes, Kiwi. And a scene where he sang. 😍🎵❤️ That first song is such a poignant song for the year we’ve all had… as I reflect on three family members I lost last year… 🕊 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Thanks for introducing me to some new artistes… Lord Huron - gonna listen to that album and pay close attention to those other two songs as well. “The Night We Met” appears to be the most loved ⭐️. Ahhh… I see what you mean @ same song but variation @ pace… and lyrics. That’s so cool. 😍🎵 “Love Like Ghosts” would fit nicely in a movie backdrop / soundtrack. Like in an Indie film or something. “The Night We Met” reminds me of another artiste I got to know through a wicked friend and novelist on Wattpad… Low Roar. UGH… the FEELS… was so in sync with the mood of her novel in parts. The angst. Anyhoo, I digress. 😏 See if you like these: Just a Habit Patience Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

FFSWhatudoin2me (K)

(Part 2️⃣) Today has just made me reflect… I mean… anyone who criticises PH… I’ll have to remind them that it’s not all one track stuff. You find gems on there… depends on what your thang is… and lovely connections… and wicked delights… and people with enjoyable layers like you. I wuv you 3000 (okay maybe I’m exaggerating 😏… Tony Stark, my Iron Man… Avengers: Endgame… UGH… *holding fisted palm to mouth with eyes closed* ❤️) ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Seriously… “affectation”… can you stop doing things to me with your literary prowess 😵😻 You sang that so beautifully… more of your deeper tone came in here (a la Elvis vibe). Picturing it in an Indie movie. 😍🎵 Went to listen to him afterwards to (had to add to my Playlist) and I see what you mean @ Kiwi Elvis. 🙃🙌🏾 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ OMDays, yes @ Hallelujah… one of my fave classics too. But don’t think I’d heard origin until now. Thank you. 🙂 Ahhh… just went to Apple Music to look for him and got reminded of song I got to know from a TV series I love… ‘The Blacklist’… song: “You Want It Darker”. So thankful to the SHAZAM APP. 👌🏾 So GUUD… the lyrics… the emotions they evoke… the production… his voice… 🎵❤️🙌🏾💥 ✨✨✨✨✨✨ One of my dream jobs would be to just trawl music, everywhere… and find the best ones to fit promos, clips, ads, backdrops to sequences in TV shows/dramas/movies etc. FUCK, I love music so much. #deliriouswithemotionrightnow OMG… what is wrong with me? 👀😀… a wave is suddenly washing over me… my clit is on 🔥… riding it… SO fucking good. It’s all the good vibes you’re giving me with your singing and speaking 😏… and reminiscing… okay… it’s subsided now… after a minute… 😏 ❤️ your melody layers in that last one too. ✨✨✨✨✨✨ Aww… this was SO lovely… and to be listening to it on a Sunday too… I might play this to my nephew when I want him to relax and fall asleep. 🙂 If and when you have lil ones they’ll be in for a treat. 💕 Have a blissful rest of your weekend. Although it seems like you post on Sundays… so you might be busy rn… 😏 Thanking you in advance. 😘

FFSWhatudoin2me (K)

(Part 3️⃣) - and this is is a good place for me to park my weekend binge. * le sigh* 😏❤️

Sarah Ruth

New here and very late to this thread, but I haven’t seen any requests for a Tower of Song cover! It’s only right!! 😂🙃

Sarah Ruth

Also...I Lied by Lord Huron 😭💔

toweraudios

Haha - hey! Late reply but thanks for all your thoughts! *holding fisted palm to mouth with eyes closed* - you gem! 😁😘

toweraudios

Hey Sarah! Yes! I love both of these! I Lied is still on high rotation for me at the moment... I’ll definitely see if I can pull them off... 💙

Sarah Ruth

I have no doubt you can pull them off, *but* I fully expect angelic backing vocals for both or no dice 😘

FFSWhatudoin2me (K)

Hellooo… must say, this is a pleasant surprise! Was just about to get on my Peloton [oh yeah, we’ll see who has more stamina 😜)… and happened to swipe to my inbox window. You have a lot more comments to see *tapping fingers* … on PH too… Don’t give me that look…, I laugh in the face of punishment! And wot… [OMdays did I just type that… 😅]. But seriously, think I won’t comment on anything else until you see the others. Otherwise they’ll just build. 😕 No… I am not sulking… cayate la boca. 😛 Bitte! (I do say that a lot to colleagues in Germany). 🥰 Well, from one gem to another, keepin it sassy n sexy, and letting the good vibes roll! 😁😘

FFSWhatudoin2me (K)

You’re not gonna believe this… the instructor was German! What are zee odds?! Shut the front door. OMDays, ❤️ me some serendipity! Had to record a bit - such a fun recovery class. I can send you it for the German phrases if you’d like. So… this is a sign… of what… you tell me… as you slide up against my arse on the seat… grab my arms, firmly place them behind my back and slide your mouth to my ear… the slow torturous warning begins… 💭😏 Well, we know that’s right up my alley… so 😍…

D

I still find myself blinking hard as I try to wrap my mind around what I've stumbled into over the last 24 hours. Unfamiliar. Wildly unexpected. It's been a tough week with clients walking through grief, diagnoses, treatment, and for the first time in a while funerals as this part of the world opens up again. Heavy on the heart of an empath walking beside them. I believe it was Shakespeare who said, "When words fail, music speaks." This "speaks" in the best way. It reminds me of sitting in on writers rounds in quiet small venues around Nashville listening to a buddy I used to sing with in college play. I can pass on the incredibly well produced cuts that won him Grammy's and almost as many #1's as my age (which is stupid ridiculous!) But strip things down with just his voice and an acoustic guitar in the round...mmmmm...I'm IN! Nothing beats the raw authenticity and vulnerability when someone's soul connects to music. So thank you for this unexpected gift.

toweraudios

Oh D - I really hope you get a chance to unwind and take your mind off everything this weekend. You just gave me some massive nostalgia for the time I spent in Nashville. I was there (in the city and Murfreesboro) for a month and spent a lot of time in little bars and with students at MTSU hanging and playing music. Such a cool time. Thanks for reminding me!! 😘

D

That's awesome. I lived there for 9 years and there's nothing like those small venues and bars anywhere else I've ever been. There was a great one upstairs over a restaurant on the town square in Murfreesboro. Happy to bring the nastolgia full circle.

Ann

Very nice. You are talented. Thank you for sharing 🤗

toweraudios

Hey A! Thank you for listening!! 🤗🥰

toweraudios

Too kind LouLou!! 🥝💙 I love Fall at your Feet too! I’ll have a play and see if I can do it justice… 😅 xx

Venusinaphrodite_

As much as I'm the frustrating pain in the ass I'm sure that I am, I love to hear you sing🥰 I don't think I'll ever get through your cover of Hallelujah without tearing up🙈💙

toweraudios

If so you’re the most wonderful pain in the ass ever! 🥰😍 Thanks for being you K! More singing soon… and hopefully you’ll join in… 😉

Venusinaphrodite_

Haha why thank you I'll gladly accept that accolade🏆🥇🥰😘 whew please don't wish that on yourself😂😅 there's only one form of singing I'll do😉 we'll leave the restof them to your beautiful voice and the team💙💙

toweraudios

Haha, the whimpering of a sexy angel is the only kind of singing that really matters in the end 😛💙💙

Venusinaphrodite_

Matthew are trying to kill me??? That sounded provocative in a way that illicted a full body shudder and damp panties and thighs pressing together🥵 is it hot in here? I feel like it's hot in here

Venusinaphrodite_

Hey Lovebug😁 Matt definitely knows what he's doing doesn't he😉 I was actually thinking a lovense might need to be ordered but I might actually die😅🙈

Venusinaphrodite_

As a brat I wholeheartedly agree😂😂😈 I keep going back and forth between the lush and Nora🤔 my set up now is great it gets the job done but it's way too much brain-hand coordination while my mind is somewhere else😂😂

Raisin Girl

Matt, I seriously hope you reconsider, and keep squeezing these awesome musical interludes in your collective works. I’m a raging music fan who wanted to be a rockstar since the age of 9, and I could literally spend aeons talking about it, listening to it, and loving everything about it. I’ve loved the Brothers Finn since their Split Enz days, and yes I was there for the original release of “Leaky Boat”. Then Crowded House came along and I fell in love all over again. “Better Be Home Soon” is also my favourite of theirs. It brings a lump in my throat whenever I hear it. Neil’s vocal range here is just so wide and the emotions simply overwhelm me. I saw they just released a new album, I’ll have to check it out! I also love finding new artists (or at least new to me) so thank you for introducing us to Lord Huron and Marlon Williams. My tastes are pretty far-reaching, but I have a real soft spot for acoustics. Hey, what do you think of Marlon’s recent duet with Lorde for Bruce Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest”? Love the Boss and that song is a particular fave. He often performs it live as a duet with his wife Patty. I thought Marlon & Lorde’s interpretation was a nice homage to that. Which brings us to the classic Cohen. What can I say that hasn’t already been said? It won’t change the fact that it’s a gorgeous piece of poetry. And finally we come to you and your performance which wrapped around me, all snug and cozy, like a warm, fluffy blanket. It had beach bonfire vibes all over it, and yes I was the starry-eyed groupie who couldn’t get enough. You did a great job layering in the backing vocals and the harmonies were lovely. I really believe that being able to play an instrument is a gift, like learning a second language (all the German I know I learned listening to Rammstein 🤘🏻👅🤘🏻). So please don’t stop sharing the music. It just adds another delicious layer to this already scrumptious cake that you’ve invited all of us to enjoy. Chef’s kiss! 💋💋

toweraudios

Wow - you have a eclectic taste too RG! I’m sure we could talk for hours 😁. I didn’t know about the Lorde and Marlon Springsteen cover, but just listened now. I think he was singing the higher harmony over her low part!?! I’m not much of a Lorde fan. I don’t know why. I don’t dislike her either. But she’s so earnest all the time. I’m more a Lana del Rey type. A bit of irony and naughtiness. But the boss. I love the boss. He did a great job on a new song by a band called Bleachers who I think are gonna release album of the year tomorrow! The main guy in the band - Jack Antonoff - has actually worked with Lorde too. Small worlds… But now I’m rambling! I’ll definitely be doing some more music though!!! 💙🎶😘xx

Raisin Girl

Yeah, the Lorde/Marlon arrangement had them singing opposite of Bruce and Patty which sounded pretty neat to me. Your comment about Lorde’s earnestness made me chuckle, but she’s still a tadpole. Give her time. Whenever I hear Lana Del Ray, I think of her song “ Fucked My Way Up to the Top” which I happen to like. I recall she said once it was a pretty accurate description of her climb to success. Gotta give her credit for owning it like a boss. And now I’m off to check out Bleachers, yay!!! Music really is the international language. Sighhhhhh 😌🎶💓💓💓 Soooo happy you’re keeping the music alive 🥰🥰🥰

Katja

Oh my, this is so good! They don't even feel like covers, I don't know how to explain it... It's gorgeous. Tbh I wasn't expecting it but your voice tugged at my heartstrings. It reminds me of Gregory Alan Isakov, not the tone or style but the strong sentiment and depth. Made me emotional 😅🥰 also, the 2nd might be better than the original 😌

toweraudios

Thanks Katja! That is so sweet of you to say! And I hadn’t heard of Isakov before - just listening to ‘The Stable Song’ now and loving it so thanks for the intro!! 💜xx

Katja

Happy you like it! Dandelion Wine is my favorite. The melody really conveys the metaphor in the title. It's simple but lovely and nostalgic. Check it out if you'd like. Hopefully you won't hate it - I'd been wrong about recs before 😅 have a nice day/evening 😘 p.s. I'll forgive you for not giving Lorde enough credit! X

VANESSA

Omg I knew I couldn't handle it! Never should have listened to this!!! I have officially fallen in love with you Matthew! This...this...is just BEAUTIFUL! It roused so many emotions in me!!! Initially, I was surprised & shocked that u can actually sing so well & that your voice is not as deep as when u dirty talk.I 6hen started to get tingly & very turned on. I am very familiar with Crowded House & that song so it was cool(Into Temptation is my favorite by them). By the 2nd song I had tears & GOOSEBUMPS! That song was so hauntingly beautiful it gave me CHILLS! By the time u got to the end....the song by my Montreal homie I felt my heart would burst!!!💔💢💥💣😭. Tears rolling down my cheeks reveling in the beauty & artistry in your singing! Mr Tower you have TRUE TALENT! More than just being able to carry a tune! Your modesty along with all your other gifts & characteristics is starting to piss me off! Like dude u can't be this perfect! I actually NEED to download this somehow. I want all these songs to listen to in my car. Oh Sara Ruth was soooo right. It also brought back some memories of the love of my life. He was also a guitar player. He used to play & sing for me. Sometimes we'd record or sing together. He loved my voice & was so supportive of it I actually got up on stage sometimes. He'd be my biggest fan clapping the hardest & the loudest in the audience. We didn't need words. We communicated thru music. Playing each other songs that expressed what we felt. Introducing each other to different generes. Oh crap look what you've done to me.!!!! Got me all in my feels n shit!!! Matt you MUST SING MORE!!!!

VANESSA

I think THIS is my favorite thing out of everything u have on here! That's saying A LOT! Ya got got big things on here!....literally....got your GREAT BIG THANG!!!....Moby!😉😍😍😍🐳🐳🐳😅🤣😅❤💜

toweraudios

Vanessa!! You are waaayy waaayy too kind!! I’m so glad you enjoyed it though, and I feel so uplifted by your reaction and lovely words! Your Montreal Homie is like a favourite uncle to me - he’s such a gentleman and an amazing lyricist. Thanks for the note and - I’ll try Into Temptation but I think it’s got some really high notes in the bridge I’d have to falsetto😅😂… But yes - I’m working on more singing and will upload these as songs to the next Turret update! 💜xx

toweraudios

One of my favourites of theirs too! And I love Fall At Your Feet… x

VANESSA

Yasss! I do ❤ that one too!!! They sure knew how to write love songs for those who go in deep!

VANESSA

Venus take it from me. I got both of those(Lush 3 & Nora). Do yourself a favor and GET THE NORA! !! The bitch can occasionally be temperamental & a trickster but when she is on her game omg!...OMG!!...OH. MY. FUCKING. GOD!!!! That's what u gonna be screamin' cuz u ain't never felt nuthin quite like this bliss!!! And prior to this I was not much of a sex toy person. I like hands. Fuck Lushie he never makes it out da box! He quieter thou. But so will your orgasms be...if it all. Oscar will get grouchy.

Venusinaphrodite_

Girl Oscar has been grouchy last 2 days this the rest of me has been bitchy😤😂 I was learning towards the Nora! And after that review how could I not be🥵🔥 I really wasn't either. Like going to buy them I was staring at a wall of dildos for a good 5 minutes staring and thinking "can someone really take that😅"😂

Titania

Beautiful! Kinda teared up. You are magic. Srsly. Damn. Musical interludes like this would be most welcome.

toweraudios

😌😊Thanks so much Titania! Another interlude coming! 💜

Kris

I keep coming back to listen to "Better Be Home Soon". By far the best cover I've heard. Better than the original actually 💜

toweraudios

Hey Titania - I’m on Apple Music so I can’t listen to Spotify links… I’ll have a search on YouTube tho. XX

toweraudios

🥰🥰Double shucks!! I’m honestly so glad you’ve even listened, let alone liked my version Kris! 💜xx

Titania

I just saw this too, now that I'm a bit more aware of Marlon Williams. I have no context for the song (Maori?) but recognized the name. 🙂https://youtu.be/7l_7FbZQj5U

Alena

There are moments, I think during the Lord Huron song mostly, when you remind me of Mark Lanegan.

toweraudios

Oh yeah - sounds like he’s got a similar range to me. What a strong and gritty voice he has though! 😅I’ll have to download a bunch on iTunes xx

Val

😲 I am wondering if you are even real!! 🤔 You are so beautiful! Seriously...I started crying listening to you sing...🤷🏻‍♀️...it just touched my heart so sweetly...thank you 💙💙💙 I hope you decide to do more singing audios...I can picture it ... camping trip! 🏕️ You pull out the guitar🎸 , the crackling fire 🔥, nature sounds 🦗, you singing 🎶...all us Belles dreamily entranced by you lol 🥰😍😘

Skychaser

AW HECK MAN. THIS IS REALLY GOOD

Frowning Clown

The melomaniac in me was taken aback. Fantastic and well done! If you ever went on tour I'd be the first in line for tickets 😂!

toweraudios

💜Val - sorry I missed this earlier! I've just popped back to look at a few older posts and this lovely comment has totally made my day!! It's summer here, so actually a campfire singing audio could totally happen... It"s such a cool idea. xx

toweraudios

Thanks so much 💜Skychaser! I'm just rolling back to look at some older posts and saw this! xx

toweraudios

How in the hell's did I know know that word existed, 💜Arielle? I mean, I know stentorian and cacophony and euphonious... Thank-you for the vocab extension and the far too kind praise 😉 (which I will gratefully accept)!

sabi

SHUT UP WHAT HOW DID I NEVER HEAR THIS BEFORE WHAT OMG Your singing is SO SO GOOD, there’s a rasp to it that just scratches an itch in my brain, put this on spotify immediately, respectfully 🔫 You can’t just post it and bail my man, don’t keep the talent from us 😩

Maeve

The first song was nostalgic and poignant. Took my breath at some points. Your voice is so honest and sweet. You made me cry a little. Please sing more soon. ❤️

NeonVall

Holy smokes and just shut the front door. How and huh? and what? he sings, he plays the guitar and… and come on! who voluntarily sings multiple voices?? The music you chose. it's... so yeah, you know... and then how you played it and... so...Jeez I Just loved it. I just don't know how to make sentences anymore. This is just soo good! And Leonard Cohen, he was such a poetic singer with a very unique voice. He really was speaking his songs to you in a melancholy story telling way. And if you don't like his music style or singing voice, reading his lyrics is still so very satisfying.

Bibi

Gifted, so gifted. Such a pleasure to sit here with T, enjoying your music making. It's ok about T. He is very happy, and relieved, that I've found you. We both love your singing to us right now. 💗

Elo

Could you stop singing? Because it will kill me, Matthew😩😢💜💜.You can tickle in my heart with your sound.

aleigh -`♡´-

holy shit i just found this gem of an audio and i'm in love with your voice for yet ANOTHER reason. damn you matt -- you being good at everything is getting quite irritating👀💗

Lara

Oh Matt, your voice are so adorable. I'm addicted on the 'fireplace lullabies' then I found this one. Lucky me. A lot of kisses on your heart
