American Depression

about

The song was recorded during a MattPatJoeyTrio recording session days before shelter in place at Sonoma State University. An electric version was finished by Matt at home to use as a Welcome Matt song.
The acoustic trio version is due out in late summer 2020.
The video was created during S.I.P in Cotati California with the TOONLY animation program by Matt. Though it emanates from many sources, for the most part "the depression" is our division. Every time we hate on the opposite of our own politics we've handed a victory to big money, to the one percent, to the creators of disinformation that seeks to divide and conquer us, to the racist structures pilfering our intelligence and hard-earned money. The last thing those forces want, is for us to stand together and find common ground for the common good. If you have your doubts just follow the money.

lyrics

AMERICAN DEPRESSION

We’re playing power bowl 
Mega millions and the daily 4
Scratching already scratched cards
Laying on the super market floor
And that OxyCotin don’t hit like it did in 2006
Need a better way to get away from our invention of the obsession of
AMERICAN DEPRESSION
When we will learn our lesson ?
All we want is progress but they just give us regression
AMERICAN DEPRESSION

I want to know where the money goes ?
And who the hell is tracking my phone ?
I want to know why I feel so alone ? With all these connections
They got us questioning reality with me hating you and you hating me
They got us arguing and fighting with our own reflections over definitions of

AMERICAN DEPRESSION
When we will learn our lesson ?
All we want is progress but they just give us regression
AMERICAN DEPRESSION

Time to stop all the deception
Time to all the oppression
ohhhhh ohhhh
AMERICAN DEPRESSION
AMERICAN DEPRESSION

THE WELCOME MATT San Francisco, California

San Francisco singer songwriter Matt Langlois has been sitting on a rug "working on many new ideas trying to break through my own ceiling or top of my head"
He thinks he'll have a double vinyl record out before the end of days. I hope he hurries.
