Matt DeAngelis has just released his latest song, “Livin’ It,” a heartfelt track that speaks directly to the challenges and hopes we all share. This song immediately stands out as a powerful piece of music that is both simple and deeply meaningful.
Matt DeAngelis is an artist who is good at two very different jobs at the same time. He has a great career on Broadway, where he has been in big shows like Hair and Waitress. At the same time, he is a serious singer who writes his own songs in Southern New Jersey. This ability to work both on stage and as a solo musician with a purpose is what makes his music special. He uses his songs to talk about important things like mental health, being open about his own worries and anxiety, and he also cares a lot about the world around us.
The song “Livin’ It” quickly makes the person listening feel calm and want to think deeply. The music starts with a soft, quiet piano sound that sets a thoughtful mood. It feels like a moment that is both wide and close to the heart, almost like a scene starting in a calm movie. The clear, bright sounds of the piano seem to hang in the air, giving the music a full, peaceful sound. This soft start gets you right into the song’s mood and makes you feel calm inside. After a bit of time, a low, steady bass sound comes in, which gives the whole song a solid floor that helps the music move forward in a strong way.
As the song goes on, more sounds are added to the music, making it feel fuller but not too loud or too fast. A soft drumbeat starts. It feels like a slow, normal heart pump that gives the song an easy, steady rhythm. Brass horns also make a nice, warm, and happy sound that fits well with the soft piano and adds a good feeling. When Matt DeAngelis sings, his voice makes the music feel real. He sings in a clear, high way that sounds open and true, almost like he is just talking straight to you. His voice has a nice, older feel, which might make you think of pop and soft rock singers from the past, but it still sounds very new today.
What “Livin’ It” is really about is the simple fact of being human: dealing with not knowing what will happen and trying to feel okay with things as they are. The words talk about how hard it is to live in a world that can feel scary and confusing. But they really push us to find our own light and hope, even when things are very difficult. The song is about how everyone is worried about what will happen next and how hard it is to just live in the present. It tells people listening to stop waiting for things to be great and to be okay with the life they have, even if it has problems. This good feeling of hope gets bigger in the music, especially as the song goes toward its most exciting part.
In the last part of the song, all the music parts come together in a big, fun, and strong way. The drums get much clearer and louder. The brass instruments seem to go higher in sound, and both the electric and regular guitars really stand out with great power. This makes a full, rich sound that feels successful and joyful. The main beat has a friendly, easy flow that makes you want to move, but it never feels forced or hurried. The song is made—the production—in a very careful way so that every single instrument helps to support the song’s deep, important message. “Livin’ It” is a real and beautiful reminder that even when we face tough times, we should always keep our belief and trust in the possibility of better days to come.
