Singer-Songwriter Matt Holubowski Stares Down Time On New Single “My Burrow”
Montreal-based indie folk artist Matt Holubowski released a handful of singles over 2022, following up his stunning 2020 album Weird Ones. Known for his atmospheric and unsuspectingly lush folk sound, the singer-songwriter continues to push his sound forward on his commanding new single “My Burrow”.
Incorporating hints of electronic influences, buzzing guitars, and a more invigorating spirit, “My Burrow” balances regret and optimism with its philosophical origins.
About the track, Matt shares:
“This song is about wanting it all without putting any of the work in. Waiting around for something to happen to us. Waiting to become something. Waiting for success, for happiness. Waiting for our big break. Always wanting and waiting, but never searching and acting. Expectations that do not match reality is the ordre du jour here.
It’s also about becoming aware of time and how wasteful we are with it, poking fun at the regret and shame we might feel for wasting it (because these are truly useless feelings), accepting that which is lost, and looking toward that which still might be found. At the end of it, life is but a collection of stacked moments. When we forget this, it becomes easy to dismiss moments as unimportant or so infinite that misspending them is no big deal. I guess the song is a reminder (to myself, mostly) that the dwelling in our minds depends on caring deeply, and tending carefully to all the moments we get to have.”
In its accompanying music video, Matt tries to fight against the burden that is procrastination but while keeping to the song’s theme, and lets time and fate be his motivation.
