Matt Costa
Matthew Albert Costa (born June 16, 1982) is a singer-songwriter from Huntington Beach, California. He has five independent releases: two self-recorded EPs, and three full-length CDs released via Brushfire Records.
Life
Matt Costa, who is of Portuguese descent, states that his father works in the airline business. In early 2003, Matt's homemade demo reached No Doubt guitarist Tom Dumont, who offered to record more demos for Costa in his home studio. Those first recordings led to two EPs that Costa and Dumont distributed themselves. These were later combined and mixed by Phil Ek in order to form Costa's first full-length CD entitled Songs We Sing.
Costa spent the summer of 2005 opening on Jack Johnson's summer tour. He has since toured with Modest Mouse, Oasis, Ryan Adams & The Cardinals, G. Love & Special Sauce, and Death Cab for Cutie. Costa joined Jack Johnson for his 2006 European tour. He has also contributed to the Jack Johnson and Friends Curious George soundtrack; his track is entitled "Lullaby". This song was taken from his The Elasmosaurus EP. Costa has also toured extensively in Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia and South America.

The Road
by: Matt CostaThe number of [Incomprehensible]
And we cling to our tried and true and
You know we're creatures of comfort and
We find our patterns and stick to what we know best
But there's a big wide beautiful world out there
For those that want it, it's out there
Don't talk, don't say nothin'
I've just packed my things and I'm headed for somethin'
Where I'm goin' well I don't really know
The road is callin' so I've got to go
Yes, the road is callin' so I've got to go
We bid farewell as the winds blew like hell
I said, ?We'd meet again like some storybook tale?
But no, we don't talk, we don't say nothin'
I just packed my things and go headed for somethin'
But where I was headed well, I didn't really see
The road was callin' and I was on my way
Yes, the road was callin' and I was on my way
So don't talk, don't say nothin'
I've just grabbed my things and pretend like there's nothin'
Between us no more as I walked out the door
She closed it behind me and cried on the floor
And I couldn't talk, no I couldn't say nothin'
I just closed my eyes and headed blindly towards somethin'
'Cause where I'm goin', well, I don't really know
The road is callin' so I've got to go
