Providing insights into his thought processes and experiences, Matt gives us a glimpse into his creative process and outlook on what songwriting is and what it means to him.</p><p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/s:bzglfiles/u/631393/c9761dcdf2c02e31db148db1f2f61f4321e6f491/original/die-tired-logomark-black.jpeg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==" class="size_s justify_center border_" /></p><p>Greetings, </p><p>Songwriting has been a meaningful and important part of who I am and how I cope with the world since the moment I wrote my first guitar riff. It is an outlet that allows me to communicate thoughts and emotions that I typically cannot in everyday life. Although the process may change, the end result is the same; releasing energy (both positive and negative) that I otherwise would not be able to in other situations. Ultimately, I have found this creative journey has allowed me to regulate my thoughts and emotions, express complex thoughts, and communicate with others in the way that only music allows me to.</p><p>I have often been asked questions such as “How did you come up with that?” or “What is your method for writing?” The more I reflect on these types of inquires I find more and more that I come to the answer of “time.” For example, this could mean time spent practicing music fundamentals (chords, scales, music theory). The more time I have spent practicing and honing skills the more proficient I have become at writing songs “over time”. In another example, this could also refer to time spent listening and consuming various formats of art. Listening to music inspires and creates a sound bank in your brain to pull from. Reading books fills your heart and mind with stories and lessons from both past and present. A movie may spark an idea for a lyric line or plot theme to shape your words around. All of these activities are building more and more influence “over time” and creating a foundation for musical ideas to express through. My last example is time spent enjoying the people and things I love while living in a beautiful and complicated world. As time builds up these experiences and relationships end up being most influential in the final product. By reflecting on both positive and negative experiences I face in life, I am able to channel these emotions in the form of tones and lyrics. As my daily life experiences become more complex as time goes by, my songwriting serves as a method of coping with what I may not fully understand. I find this equation may sum it up:</p><p> </p><p>If Time can be valued as the amount of: a (skill practice); b (input of knowledge); and c (emotional experiences)</p><p>Then..</p><p>Creative Output = a + b + c</p><p> </p><p>So how does it happen? How does the song take shape? Well…it all comes in good time. On the guitar, sometimes the song writes itself quickly while strumming the acoustic on a lazy day. Likely, this tune has been brewing in the subconscious somewhere and was ready to be born. Other times it's a riff that was written years ago that never came to life. For whatever reason, it needed time to mature and experience other things in life to finally find its way. With lyrics, it typically starts with a melody before words take shape. Then little by little I use all the thoughts and feelings I've built up over time to connect the melody to a theme and find the right path for the words to flow. Then when each song is “finished” the real fun begins. As over time that song travels its own path and changes with each time it's played; becoming something unique and individual to its own first iteration.</p><p>In the end, every song that finds its fruition is some manifestation of everything I've experienced over time. Each moment, memory, and interaction plays a part in the creative expression of ideas. Somethings come easy; others hard. But in the end, all things find their way “over time.”</p><p>Take Care,</p><p>Matt</p><p> </p><p> </p>Die Tiredtag:dietiredband.com,2005:Post/72843552023-10-07T14:55:16-04:002023-11-01T21:10:27-04:00"SLOW DOWN" single and video out now!<p>We are stoked to announce the release of our latest single “SLOW DOWN” via SODEH Records.

<p>Abandon all responsibility and break free as Die Tired bursts on to the alt-rock scene with their single and video PLAY! Combining anthemic instrumentals with emotional melodies, one cannot help but get wrapped up in the energy and imagery of PLAY. From infectious grooves to dirty bass lines and memorable hooks, this is the high quality alt-rock you want to crank up with the windows down in the car or over a couple of beers with your best friends at the local watering hole. </p>
<p>Lead guitarist and vocalist Matt DeAngelis explains that Play is about “leaving the things that drag you down behind and pursuing what you love. Taking the people you care about the most with you and leaning into the innocence and beauty that can be found in everyday life. This song is about having fun and being free…go fall in love, skydive, travel the world; as long as it’s pure and it’s what you need.” </p>
<p>Follow Die Tired now…come on let’s PLAY here!</p>

Our new single, "Whatcha Gonna Do?" is now live on all of your favorite streaming platforms. You can also listen to it right here on our website! This one finds us leaning to our grunge influences a bit more so be sure to turn it up.</p>
<p>This song is about a failed higher level hitman who has to go to his boss to tell him he botched a job. The lyrics are from the perspective of the boss who is disappointed in his long time "go to" guy. Instead of killing him, he gives his man a chance to escape the heat do to past loyalty. The boss allows him to access a private stash of money, guns, and passports and says, "take what you want and leave." The hitman takes his items and turns to his boss, who looks at him cold in the eyes and says to him..."Whatcha Gonna Do?" </p>
<p>Think John Wick mixed with John Travlota's character from Pulp Fiction. This would make a sick video!</p>Die Tiredtag:dietiredband.com,2005:Post/69958182022-06-16T23:39:58-04:002022-06-16T23:49:29-04:00New Show!! In Nature's Studio - Real Bodies <p>We are excited to announce that we were selected for this years In Nature's Studio - Real Bodies event at the Reading Public Museum Arboretum. In Nature’s Studio brings performing artists out from inside the theater to the beautiful Reading Public Museum Arboretum. Solo performers (music, dance, poetry, theater) will be stationed on benches or grassy areas along the accessible walking path. Each will perform their own work on a schedule, either a short work on repeat or a longer piece or collection of pieces for up to 90 minutes.The performances are for everyone, seasoned theatergoers and those who want to enjoy a walk in nature with some music, dance, and spoken word along the way.</p>
<p>This event is especially cool as it allows us to connect our music with other artists and their work. For me, I was drawn to the Real Bodies exhibit as a way of connecting my lyrics to the body and the soul. I started thinking about topics like somatization and turning mental pain into physical aliments. Why and how does this occur? I've always been amazed at the power of thought and state of mind. It also got me thinking about the limitations of our physical bodies and the timeless question about what lies beyond our physical existence; if anything at all. When I'm writing lyrics, I tend to be drawn to these types of ideas and themes. One thing I look forward to at this show is drawing from the work around me and in the museum to workshop some new music and lyrics. As part of the performance new music will be improvised and written on the spot. Who knows...perhaps you can even help write the song.</p>
<p>We hope to see you there in your own Real Body.</p>

Now, along with keeping the momentum and promotion up for the track, we go into phase two of finishing off the project. Not a ton of work left, but some guitar and bass tracks to clean up along with a full vocal session to get them sounding just right. Huge shout out to Jay at <a contents="Pagoda City Records" data-link-label="" data-link-type="url" href="https://www.pagodacityrecords.com/">Pagoda City Records</a> for all the amazing work and time he's put into our project. What a pro! We are excited for everyone to hear the other tracks we have in store. As true to the DT nature; there's a little bit of every emotion and energy in there for all.</p>
