What’s it like to hear the sound of your own escape from the mundane into a completely new world? That’s exactly what Matilda does in Rob Tait’s song “Matilda.” With a style steeped in Americana and singer-songwriter traditions, Rob shares Matilda’s heartfelt story, singing her dreams and worries. She leaves her old life behind to start anew. The playful melodies of the verses narrate Matilda’s bold step forward, while the chorus shifts in rhythm, as if her old life is calling her to come back. But in reality, she’s clearly better off in this new city where she finds her true happiness. So don’t look back – move forward and live fully.
