about

'Matthew' is a touching tribute dedicated to Jo's beloved brother who passed away after a courageous battle with Motor Neurone Disease. Tenderly capturing the power of familial love, serving as an anthem honouring all the qualities defining him.

Jo says "I wrote this song to celebrate my brother Matthew who passed away from Motor Neurone Disease in January 2024. There are so many wonderful qualities about this beautiful man and I am so blessed to have had him as my brother. He lost so much to this illness, and I want the world to know about this sweet and humble gentle man."

Jo will be making a donation from some of the proceeds from the song to support MND NZ and animal welfare charities.

lyrics

Matthew

I wanna tell you about my brother Matthew
He’s fascinating like an interstellar galaxy

Radiates like the Sun’s embrace
When he smiles he just glows
Sweet and humble gentle man
Most modest man I know
Handsome face, loves outer space
A heart of solid gold
Lights our world like a precious moonbeam
Kindest man I know

A hundred billion reasons to love him
As much as there are stars in the Milky Way
A hundred billion stars can’t outshine him
There’s so much more I wanna say
Bout Matthew ah hah Matthew ah hah

Expert commentator
On those who boldly go
Where no man has gone before
The smartest man I know
Loves all kinds of music
Plays guitar just like a pro
The voice of an angel
Most gifted man I know
Oh Matthew ah hah, Matthew ah hah

No one to compare him to on Earth
He really is something outta this world
His many qualities setting him apart
He’s loved with all our hearts

Makes me laugh till I ugly cry
Loves watching Randy Rainbow
Impersonations, observations
Funniest man I know
Loves God’s creatures great & small
Treasured many young and old
Gracious, so courageous
Most bravest man I know
Oh Matthew ah hah, Oh Matthew ah hah
Whoo

A hundred billion reasons to love him
As much as there are stars in the Milky Way
A hundred billion stars can’t outshine him
There’s so much more I wanna say
About Matthew ah hah, Matthew ah hah, Matthew ah hah, Matthew ah hah

Fascinating like an interstellar galaxy
So blessed to have a brother like Matthew
Love my brother Matthew
Hey la la la la, hey la la la la.
