Matt Mays chats new music, Gord Downie's legacy and the 15 year anniversary of 'Cocaine Cowgirl'

Matt Mays has been a busy guy! In 2017, he released Once Upon a Hell of a Time. Now, in 2019, he has re-discovered the music in a new way – he re-recorded each song acoustically. Twice Upon a Hell of a Time is out tomorrow. His new single, “Let There Be Love”, is out now.

I feel like a lot of people around me have been feeling a little lost and scared lately. I’ve been feeling the same way. It breaks my heart to see such true people sad. This new song 'Let There Be Love' is about finding the courage to love yourself blindly and learning to accept this self-love trustingly. It’s a dream of letting the bad things be and just basking in the beauty of this little weird thing we call life. ?? ?? ?????? Xo-m?? ?? Listen now at the link in bio.
