Matthew Ryan Jacobs Shares New Single ‘Sun Goes Down’
Canadian singer and songwriter Matthew Ryan Jacobs has just shared his brand new single Sun Goes Down, a bluesy piece of pop music about not wanting to let go of one's youth.
I am really enjoying Matthew's wistful vocals which effortlessly capture our attention from start to finish, soaring beautifully over the polished production. I am particularly fond of the intricate guitar riffs and how they are seamlessly intertwined with steady drum patterns and cool organ keys that create a mellow, somewhat sad atmosphere. Sun Goes Down is a song about seeing life passing you by and you're trying to live it but you feel stuck in the same place. This is one of those songs that I would play when home alone with my thoughts, or walking around town thinking about my life. Definitely a memorable and enthralling listening experience which you can check out below!
Speaking about the song, Matthew Ryan Jacobs said,
”Sun Goes Down” started out as more a blues song, but once the lyrics started to come together, I slowed it down and it ended up a little more on the soul side. Lyrically it’s kind of a story about where I was heading or loosely based on people I know or have known. It’s a little bit about addiction, and not wanting to let go of your youth; when drinking and partying just slowly turns into your life; and people and things start passing you by. You feel like you’re “living” but, you’re stuck in one place.
