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 a progressive pop and alt-rock singer-songwriter known for his soulful vocals and intricate arrangements, which draw inspiration from classic artists like Billy Joel, Elton John, and Pink Floyd. Driven since childhood by a goal to spread positivity, DeAngelis channels his personal management of severe OCD and anxiety disorder into inspirational music. His work champions mental health awareness and resilience, turning personal struggles into uplifting anthems.
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 speak about how hard it is to live in a world that feels scary and mixed up. But they really tell us to find our own bright light and hope, even when things are very bad. The song is about how all people worry about what comes next and how hard it is to just be here now. 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.
