Before Idol was blessed with Matt’s talent, he had already written several original songs and released two albums independently on iTunes. One of his most popular and loved original songs is off of his 2nd album, Mind, Body and Soul called “Too Many Nights.”
I remember when I first heard this song, it was right after Matt was eliminated on Idol during the Group semi-finals. I was so upset that he hadn’t made it, but I remember listening to this song and feeling like I understood a part of Matt’s heart;
“Cause when he feels like he’s falling, he keeps his eye on his calling…”
And of course, Matt was brought back in the Wildcard round and went on to finish as 4th runner-up. Give this song a listen, as today’s “Music Monday” special and share what it means to you.

Beautiful song! One of my favorite pre-idol songs. So inspirational and it’s one of those songs that could help anyone out, in any situation. I believe that is a sign of a great songwriter, in my eyes.
This song was so beautiful, beautifuly written and sung!!! Did he write it?
