Who writes their songs?
Vertical Horizon is a self-contained band, meaning they write the lyrics and music for their songs. Usually, Matt or Keith will make a rough demo of a song and bring it to the rest of the band. Then, the rest of the band fills in their part. The only Vertical Horizon song not written by any member of Vertical Horizon is “Falling Down.” The song was originally a poem by Kelly Moylan, now Matt’s wife. Matt said he “loved the words and wanted to put them to music.
