Greg Boyer Reflects on Emotional Stillness in “Perfectly Gone”
Veteran songwriter Greg Boyer has long been celebrated for his ability to convey emotion with subtlety, and his latest release, “Perfectly Gone,” is a testament to that artistry. The track is a spare, thoughtful folk-pop reflection shaped by restraint, atmosphere, and emotional economy. Inspired by a breakup and written during a period immersed in rockabilly and folk influences, the song does not unfold as a lament. Instead, it presents a moment of calm acceptance, an acknowledgment rather than a reckoning. The result is music that moves with quiet precision, allowing listeners to inhabit the space between thought and feeling.

Rewriting the Rules at 41
Alex Mattar is an Indie artist based in Charlotte, North Carolina, quietly proving that reinvention has no expiration date. A self-described bedroom producer with a deep respect for music history, Mattar’s journey into original music didn’t begin in his teens or twenties—it began at 41, driven by curiosity, passion, and the simple question: “How hard could it be to make a song from scratch?” What followed was not just a song, but the start of a deeply personal and disciplined creative evolution.
