Matthew Lee and the Standbys return with “My, Oh My,” a song that sounds like both an ending and a beginning. The band’s last single for their forthcoming debut record, “Black Book,” distills a feeling of resolve mingled with reflection, the emotional exhale after enduring a demanding soul-searching process.
The singer-songwriter Matthew Lee Patterson doesn’t just shut the door on that era, but looks back at the shadows that formed him. Recorded in New York City with producer Zack Eldridge, “My, Oh My” is a confessional space where the shadows of old flames, bad habits, and remaining demons seem to overlap.
Closing out “Black Book” as its final chapter, “My, Oh My” is a song that offers both closure and continuation. Patterson reminds us that healing isn’t always loud, and sometimes it involves a quiet acceptance of what’s been and what will be again.
