Lee Miller Matsos’ musical metamorphosis continues with his new single Mother’s Day Weekend — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Metamorphosis can be defined as a change in physical or structural form — something perhaps nobody knows more about change than Matsos. His musical journey began as a teenager, after seeing Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr., leading to a life of opera and musical theatre. Then he decided to evolve into a pop rock artist. While at college in P.E.I., he wrote most of the songs for his debut EP Metamorphosis. Now, he kicks off his next stage with his fourth single, Mother’s Day Weekend, a preview of his upcoming EP Metamorphosis, Pt. 2.
“I wrote Mother’s Day Weekend on a chilly, rainy, and eerily calm Saturday in May 2020 in Charlottetown,” Matsos explains. “I had had three head injuries in the past 14 months, and I had managed to finish my first year of school at Holland College School of Performing Arts a few weeks before. This time of solitude and Covid upheaval was the incubator for the biggest creative outburst of my life, including this song.
“My mother was a deep, inspirational, and poignantly beautiful soul,” says Matsos. “I felt her presence close when this song arose. I still feel her presence, especially in times when I need her encouragement. It is nice to know that something about the soul is inexplicably timeless.”
Metamorphosis, Pt. 2 is due Sept. 6, 2024. Joining Matsos (vocals/keyboard) are Tyler Ray on guitar, Chris DiCola on bass and Sam Merendino on drums.
