Matorral
Matorral is a Spanish word, along with tomillares, for shrubland, thicket or bushes. It is used in naming and describing a Mediterranean climate ecosystem in Southern Europe.
Mediterranean region
Matorral originally referred just to the Matorral shrublands and woodlands ecoregion of the global Mediterranean forests, woodlands, and scrub Biome in the Mediterranean climate regions of Spain and other Mediterranean basin countries. These scrub shrublands and woodlands are a plant community and a distinct habitat. Other common general names for this Mediterranean region shrubland habitat ecosystem are: in France as Maquis and Garrigue; in Italy as Macchia Mediterranea; in Greece as Phrygana; in Portugal as Mato; and in Israel as Batha. Now the term is used more broadly to include similar bio-assemblages where ever they occur.
In Portugal, the term mato or matagal is used to refer to the scrublands, or heaths, that formed on the Cambrian and Silurian schists in the north and central parts of Portugal.

Moving To Seattle
by: MaterialI can smell it on the pavement
It's about to rain
And you can feed me all the pills you want
But you cannot stop the pain
Am I forcing my hand to write this down
Today is the day I finally realized
That I can't rely on anyone except myself
So you think you understand me
You're so anxious to evaluate
Maybe I'm well
Maybe I'm fine
Maybe I'm in love
Am I forcing my hand to write this down
Today is the day I finally realized
That I can't rely on anyone except myself
Don't just stand there, it's about to rain
You were never one to worry.
Maybe my dreams are just more interesting
Than my reality
All this time
See it through my eyes
Am I forcing my hand
