Our obsession with Matt Deangelis has been clear from our previous coverage, and seems to grow with every listen! Naturally, when we heard that the talented rising artist had just released, Speak For A Moment, we were curious and had to share our thoughts!
Drawing us in with an immersive, orchestral energy, Matt opens Speak For A Moment with a pulsating bassline, dramatic piano and astral add libs before a guitar riff unveils the artist’s timeless and familiar vocals.
Speaking on the depth of the release, Matt confesses, “This song was written to exemplify my determination of living in the present and fulfilling desires to make a difference in the world.”
The conscious artist, who always creates intentionally, continues, “There is limited time for us to do so, being how abrupt and exponential life truly is. I believe that everyone carries the potential to change the world for the better, but one must speak and break their silence for that potential to be unlocked.”
He adds, “I wrote this song towards the very beginning of the pandemic where my inspirations stemmed from initially. It was almost as if I felt imprisoned on Earth with the unrest during this time, so my desire to create change expressed itself through writing. We seldom turn our attention to the macrocosm of life, where there is only a moment in time to fossilize your mark. In turn, this will set you free, whether you begin your journey as a “stoner” and evolve to a “donor,” the choice is yours, but the clock is still running. I hope this song can provide inspiration for all, especially to those who have not yet realized their significance on Earth.”
Speak For A Moment comes with a cinematic music video which sees our protagonist deliver an evocative performance in a number of situations, including out in nature, and even walking on a railroad track!
We are enamoured by the philosophies that Matt Deangelis conveys with his artistry, and Speak For A Moment is no exception. Full of instrumental mastery, poetic prowess and thought-provoking themes, we cannot get enough of what the rising star and multi-instrumentalist has to offer.
Anecdotally, Matt admits to having injured himself playing the tambourine. He says, “I bruised my chest being a little overzealous playing the tambourine!” We wish him a speedy recovery, and have added Speak For A Moment to our New Music Spotlight playlist, whilst we continue to stream his wider discography and anticipate future releases!
