Family, Friends, Fans, and any combination of the three—

There are two versions of this story—one really lengthy, another very short. I think the latter is the more appropriate of the two for this kind of thing.

As much as it hurts to confess, Moses Mayfield will be no longer as of January 1, 2008. There are a few reasons for the break up, some that are private within the band, and some that are not. I've always loved this band…I've given my life to it for the past six years. However, due to my inabilities to stay mentally and emotionally healthy on the road for extended amounts of time, I've had to call it off.

We all plan on pursuing other avenues in the music world, and we're all still close friends. I've wrestled with this decision for quite a while now, and it's finally time to pull the trigger and go my own way. I plan to continue writing, recording, and performing…but in a way that doesn't lean so heavily on relentless touring and promotion. I truly appreciate everyone who has supported this band over the years—I can't tell you how much it kills me to disappoint anyone. I hope that you guys will keep up with my solo endeavor and with the boys in whatever they choose to do in the future. I love all those guys and I'm sure we'll make some more music together someday.

Until then, please stay in touch. I'll be posting new demos on my site (www.myspace.com/matthewmayfieldmusic) and performing solo for a while. Once again, thanks for the continued encouragement and support…it means everything.

Sincerely (honestly),

Matthew Mayfield

Matthew, I'm heartbroken of course, but all we as fans can do is wish each of you well. Moses Mayfield was unique, but now I'll try to follow each of you as you move on to other (hopefully bigger and better) things.

Watch for friend requests as you get yourselves set up.

Your physical and mental health are obviously the most important thing, if creativity and passion for music are to be a focus in your life.

Please take care. Thank you for the music and the friendship. I was proud to be a fan.

Respect, regards, and much love,

Heather - Vancouver

Matthew, Matt, Hans and Wil,
Such sad news to me so it must be very sad for all of you. I'm so sorry for whatever problems you are experiencing that led you to decide apart is better at this time. I will still cherish my "The Inside" cd as always and just like any true fan, hope that at another time you can all make another great cd. I so enjoyed meeting all of you in Orlando in September and was really looking forward to seeing you in Tampa this Sunday which I am assuming is off although The Orpheum website still says you are there. If you will still be in town but cancelled the show and have no where to hang, your welcome come sing at my private birthday party. LOL (Let a girl dream!!!) I will definitely keep my eyes and ears out for any new music from any of you all and wish only the best for you all. Keep at it, you are all very talented and I believe you all will do great!

Sincerely and honestly too,

Kathleen

Man, that's a bummer. I'm a fairly new fan, but you guys are one of just a handful of bands my wife and I really enjoy together. We were hoping to catch you touring sometime.

Thanks for one great album. I'll keep my eyes open for solo material.

Matt.
My sister told me last night and honestly i didnt believe it. Im really sad to hear this. your music has helped me through so much stuff. You helped me through my depression anxiety and even when i tried to take my life. i saw you for the first time at a switchfoot concert and i cried during your songs. they spoke to me you know?

I understand though, you have to do what is right for you. what is going to help you in the end.

I wish for you the best of luck in the future. please continue to write, sing and express yourself in ways i wish i could.

Take it easy.
<3 Jess

I know you wont read this, much less reply or do what I request, but: Blog what happens to the band once all of you get settled. I've relied on your singing and the "boys" playing to get me through alot. I want to hear y'all in the future. So be there. Blog links or something to each of your members, after y'all get settled. Please. _-ChaseThaDream-_

Well that sucks! Why stop now when there is so much talent that could lead to such great things?! There are so many bands out now that shouldn't be and the one with actuall talent is now no longer? Makes no sence. It's like breaking up all over again.

What would actually be disappointing would be to see you stop playing music altogether. You didn't do that. Thanks for doing what's best for your well being.

Well I have to say I'm very sad to hear this news. But I want you to know I've never been struck by a band in the way that I have by all of you. I first saw you at Lollapalooza and was hooked. I listen to your CD more than any thing else. I pretty much know all of the words to all of your songs. And let me tell you this is not like me to be into any band in particular. I like a lot of different music. But you are my favorite band I've ever had. You guys have something magical and I hope what ever you decided you keep on playing and singing. I came to see you in Sacramento and unfortunately was with some people who made us late and we missed your show. But it was a real pleasure meeting all of you. I wish you the best, and if in the future you start any new bands please let me know. You guys rock with a lot of heart. Miss you !!

I have to say it took me awhile to come up with a comment to post here. Well here it is... I was first introduced to you when you open for Blue October in Beaumont Texas. I have been a fan ever since, you guys stole the show. I got to meet you (Matthew) after the show and speak with you briefly about your travels and some of your inspiration, I could tell you were wore out but you took the time to really talk to me. You were truly genuine and I appreciate that after all you guys have sacrificed and strived for you never got cocky. I will miss the music you made together but I hope that i will still hear great things from you all individually. Especially you Matt....you voice sinks right into my soul.....I love it. Your band will be sorely missed but it is better to have ended this way than to have it drag on and effect the quality of your performances and your recording. BEST OF LUCK TO ALL!

I'm shattered. But if you've made this decision after tossing it up for so long, then it's the right thing to do. I hope you all find what you've been looking for. And I will keep "Fall Behind" in my heart forever.

I'll be supporting you all from Australia,
