about

Rock single It Is What It Is mixes equal parts mindful preservation and a live and let live mentality. This guitar-fueled studio production includes well-versed lyrics delivered by an upbeat vocal performance. It Is What It Is will pump fists, nod heads and move feet to help get over the moments in life that knock you back.

California native Matt Walberg views Nashville, TN as the "Entertainment Campus" where he has studied for the past 13 years. Fronting elaborate and over-the-top rock shows with various other projects, The Living Situation has been a catalyst for the "plug and play" style that Walberg has returned to. "At the core of each production is a song that can be stripped to its bare bones; a voice and a guitar," said Walberg.

Matt Walberg & The Living Situation is gearing up for continued studio production and live performances throughout the Southeast region.

For fans of Tom Petty, Foo Fighters, Butch Walker and Bruce Springsteen.

lyrics

IT IS WHAT IT IS
WORDS AND MUSIC MATT WALBERG ©2014 BMI

VERSE 1
It is what it is
It aint what it aint
Sinner gonna sin thief he gonna take

A walking man walks
A homebody stays
Birdie gonna fly to go find his mate

CHORUS
It is what it is and that’s how it’s gotta be
Let’s say we move on hey se la vie
If these are the cards we’re dealt my friend
Sometimes you gotta fold sometimes you're all in
Throw your hands up in the air and say it is what it is

VERSE 2
She broke my heart
So I moved on
No point in staying for something long gone

That’s the way things are
Best let it be
That’s what the Paul the walrus said to me

CHORUS
It is what it is and that’s how it’s gotta be
Let’s say we move on hey se la vie
If these are the cards we’re dealt my friend
Sometimes you gotta fold sometimes you're all in
Throw your hands up in the air and say it is what it is

(SOLO)

If these are the cards we’re dealt my friend
Sometimes you gotta fold sometimes you're all in
Throw your hands up in the air and say it is what it is

OUTRO
It is what it is
It ain't what it ain't
It gives what it gives
And it takes what it takes

So live baby live
And make no mistake
It is what it is
It ain't what it ain't
You got to keep moving on
‘Cause It is what it is

It is what it is
It is what it is
