Authentic alternative music built on emotion, energy, sharp guitar work, and touches of orchestral punk.
This channel was born from a lifelong love of alternative rock and lyricism. I’ve carried notebooks filled with words, waiting for the day they would finally turn into songs. That day has come, and I’m grateful to share them with you and with anyone who connects to their spirit.
My name is Petar Jovanović. I write every lyric, shape each melody, and guide each track from the first spark to the final mix. Music has always been my way of giving voice to emotions that don’t fit into ordinary speech, turning silence into stories and restless energy into sound.
You can call me Petar or Matthew, a fictional persona I crafted to carry the voice and temperament of these songs. He is the vessel; I remain the hand behind the words and direction. Over time, many tracks have naturally grown into his character, yet each one still carries a part of me.
With love,
Matthew’s Silent Chapter

So many positive comments, reactions, emails, donations, shared emotions… if I could invent a word stronger than “thank you,” I would use it now.
My next album won’t be dedicated to myself, nor to someone I know, but to all of you. I will work day and night, pull words from the depths of my soul, and give all of myself to you.
Thank you.

Hi. Since I didn’t manage to finish everything for the album this month, I’ll be releasing the songs one by one until the end of the month so I don’t miss the date I promised. The rest of the album will arrive at the beginning of next month. I apologize once again that it didn’t turn out as planned. The first song is being released today. I’ll also take some time today and tomorrow to go through the emails and messages you’ve sent me.
Thank you to everyone who’s still listening, writing to me, and supporting me across all platforms. If there were a way to thank you properly, I would do it twice.
Thank you for sharing your emotions with me, it makes the words and thoughts I’ve put on paper, and into these songs, even more unique.
Much love

Hey everyone :)
Just a quick heads-up that at the beginning of next month you can expect 5 new songs (as part of an album), a few acoustic versions, and one short video. And as always, if you have any special requests (which song you’d like to hear in an acoustic version, or a topic you’d like a song about), feel free to write them in the comments. I’ll do my best to meet your expectations.
Also apologize for not being able to read all comments and emails yet. If I don’t reply or leave a like sometimes, it just means I haven’t gotten to it yet. Every comment and opinion truly matters to me.
Talk soon,

Hey guys! Hope you’re liking the first part of the album.
If you want to support me, it would mean a lot if you could play the album on Spotify at least once: open.spotify.com/album/2yhfJTPTWQjFXSlIyz3qys?si=Q…
Just to help the algorithm a bit. 🙂 Thanks for listening and being here!
I’ll try to drop a new part of the album at the start of each month (a few songs at a time). I know singles are usually more fun and flashy, but I’m trying to keep things as professional as I can. Wishing you all a lovely evening!

Hello everyone!
I was meant to drop a new single today, but I pulled the brakes. Thought about it for a moment, listened to my gut, and yeah, no more singles. From here on out, it’s albums only.
There are over 60 songs behind this name already, about 35 living right here on this channel. At some point it stops being fragments and starts asking to become a body. A real record. A real statement.
So I’ll be stepping back for about a month. Not disappearing, just going underground. Writing, breaking things, rebuilding them. Giving everything I’ve got to make something honest, loud, and alive. Something that hits different, because that’s what you’ve earned by standing here since day one.
I might throw out a few mashups in the meantime, pieces of what already exists, but there won’t be new singles.
Thank you all for listening, for believing, and for riding with me up to this point. Now it’s time to take this to a higher level. The album is coming.
Much love,

Hi guys, I hope you’re all doing well! Since I often get messages saying that your little ones are listening to music from this channel, and we all know it isn’t really suited for our tiny heroes, I’ve created a new channel exclusively for kids’ music.
I’d kindly ask you to let them enjoy music only from this channel, because children are the true gems of our world, and no song I create here will ever heal sadness quite like a child’s smile can.
So rock it tiny, and dream big!

Sorry guys for being gone for almost two weeks. Had some real-life stuff I couldn’t push aside.
Starting next week, we’re hitting it hard again with new songs. :)
Thank you for still listening and dropping your thoughts under every track, even while I was inactive.
Feels damn good to have such a loyal crowd

Hi guys!
If you’ve got a minute, just drop which type of music from my channel you liked the most and what you’d like to hear in the future.
Thanks a ton for sticking around and for all the amazing support during these past 3 and a half months of work.

Hi guys, I need a rather unusual favor...
I’ve been sitting with a pen in my hand for over an hour, wanting to write a song, and then a strange feeling came over me. Something told me to make this post and ask you to share some moments from your own lives.
So… would anyone like to share with all of us some of the difficult times you’ve been through? I know this might sound like an unusual approach, but I feel like we’ve somehow built a little community here where people have started opening up about their feelings and life’s… well, struggles, I guess.
Anyway, if anyone feels like sharing their story, it would mean a lot to me as motivation for the next song. Please don’t get me wrong — it’s not that I lack inspiration, but I have this feeling that songs born from stories like these could touch the soul on a deeper level.
And if this turns out to be a silly idea, I’ll just delete the post.
With much love,
Matthew’s Silent Chapter
