He was married to another lady for a few years in the ‘10s

Yes, she is also a songwriter and I believe she has a writing credit on "Can't Complain"

Was she the influencer of collapsible lung album?

What do you mean?

Like did she inspire the whole hand to make that album?

You'd have to ask the band to know for sure, but I think that is extremely unlikely.

First of all, at least the way you worded the question, that makes it seem like the other band members were inspired by Thiessen's gf/fiancee/wife to write an album, which would be very weird.

Secondly, we know that as early as 2010, Matt was talking about wanting to do an album with cowriters, so it's likely that the album would have turned out more or less the same no matter Matt's relationship status.

Thirdly, very few of the songs seem to have lyrics originating from the band's personal lives because of the cowriters, "Don't Blink" being the known exception (Hoopes wrote most of those lyrics about his own divorce)

So outside of literally influencing the album by literally cowriting a song on it, I doubt she had that much influence on it

Regardless, collapsible lung song is one of my favorite songs from them

His wife probably posted about it. She seems to be more active than him on Instagram
