Reach Out (For Me)

Reach Out (For Me)


Dance away through the broken chorus
Of ocean and air pushing past the coral
Let’s sit by the stairs and cradle some warmth in our arms

Rest your head on the back of my shoulder
Let sweet nothings break free of their whisper
Let everything be as it is and it always shall be

Reach out for me
Reach out for me
Satellites in the sky don’t dictate the weather
It’s raining outside and I’m searching for heaven
In flickering lights and the eyes of a woman who cares
So please, reach out for me


Blades of hair cascade in the wind
Lead me to grace or the edge of a cliff
Now I’ve lived and I’ve loved is there really anything left?

Picturesque arc of light in the bedroom
Splits off at the cracks and bursts out through the window
It’ll never come back now its blessed me with beauty and soul

Reach out for me
Reach out for me
Satellites in the sky don’t dictate the weather
It’s raining outside and I’m searching for heaven
In flickering lights and the eyes of a woman who cares
So please, reach out for me


I know that I’m lost in a sea of contention
Weighed down with excuses, too many to mention
And time takes its toll but its not for the seasons
The reasons are bound, and I know that I’m leaving
I’m heading out south, wasting words on the weekend
Take time to adjust and arch your back to the ceiling
If dreaming won’t work then I guess I’ll try living
But breathing is hard when the world won’t stop spinning away

The end of this song is absolutely beautiful.

[cris545]

The end of this song is absolutely beautiful.

Agree. This was overall pretty good. Thumbs up from me.

[a speedo model]

Excellent stuff, Matt.

[Period Piece]

I agree with Matty, a really beautiful ending to an excellent song!

[missmatilde]

I do agree too, the ending is amazing, and all of it is just so good! :-)

[matt_rawlings]

Thankyou all. I find the fact that so many people like the ending really odd considering that was added last night just before I recorded it.

I had no idea what to put at the end, so I just freestyled a few times, wrote down everything that came out of my mouth and edited it together/fine tuned a few things

Hahaha cheers.

It is probably one of the more mellow pieces I have ever written. It sounds better when played on piano...haunting even

[vandalsandquinn]

Ah, I stumbled upon the Little Drawings myspace before and hear this. Good job!

I love your avatar, A06 is da bomb

Hahah, well I know you would make time to rape a few certain people

[matt_rawlings]

That's nice to know

[matt_rawlings]

I'm a bit past the days of rape these days

[vandalsandquinn]

I'm so proud of you!

[mattybobviously]

Rawlings is probably in contract talks, and the label doesn't think they can market rape.

[as_we_learn]

I can't listen because of dial up. I clicked to download and only got 26 seconds of the song. I want to hear more

[matt_rawlings]

I am not in contract talks...although there was some mild interest from a small label in England.

Think I am going to get a 3 songs demo recorded proffessionally over the summer and send it out to people...maybe get it reviewed on ap

[matt_rawlings]

Give me your email and I will try and hook you up that way.

[matt_rawlings]

Also, get broadband, seriously, dial up is actually more expensive than broadband

That really kind of you. Who knows, maybe when i get in the studio and get some concrete recordings done, the forum members around these parts can help me plug the shit out of it.

The guitar is just me finger picking my classical guitar.

I'm still not used to getting complemented on my voice, as im not all that comfortable with it, but thankyou

...She's right you know

[matt_rawlings]

Yes you can.

Seriously though, if you could just rec people Little Drawings, be it around ap.net or other forums, that'd be cool

[mattybobviously]

Totally man, I've actually had some of your stuff playing on my MySpace, and have sent things to a few people. When you get some sort of EP/recording done, I'd definitely be willing to help promote, you certainly deserve it.

[matt_rawlings]

Thats extremely nice of you.

Your support is always appreciated

[black rose]

Matt, I'm always rec'ing you to people around school and online and what-not. When you do get an EP recorded in a studio, you should get it on itunes because that would be killer sweet, and I could buy it.

There has been talk of iTunes distribution, but its all in early stages yet

[black rose]

There has been talk of iTunes distribution, but its all in early stages yetWell it's a really good idea because us American folk, can't get your stuff easily and itunes would be great. I'd buy it.

[lew_1987]

yeah, i can imagine this being even better on piano. i can feel the emotion through your voice, which i really like to hear in music. the lyrics are good too, but really come to life in the song.

The last part of the song was just me pretty much giving it all I have, which is why it sounds alot more...well...passionate

[CellarGhosts]

Hey Matt, care if I start reccomending Little Drawings to my friends via MySpace, etc? I think they'd all definatley dig it.

[vandalsandquinn]

Then there's my part;


"Well hello world, I'm back again, but don't think for a second that we're still friends
Cause' I am smooth, you're split ends.
You're 'Pablo Honey', and I is 'The Bends'.
That was a little Radiohead reference. It meant you've got alot of room for improvement
You should really keep an eye on my movement.
And watch your back, or you might just lose it."

*MY BACK! WHO TOOK MY BACK?!?!*

Hahahah, I wasn't sure if that was you, I thought it probably was because of your Radiohead obsession

[matt_rawlings]

I love how we do our over the top London accents for most of the song, the towards the end of the song we bust out the full on Scottishness
