Painful but hopeful at the same time, Matt DeAngelis’ powerful ballad showcases the powerful and commanding voice of this New Jersey based singer-songwriter. The melodic approach on this single is markedly distinct, a very unique approach being taken by DeAngelis.
It’s a powerful and timely song that speaks to the unrest and turmoil present in the world today. Through raw and emotional lyrics, Matt captures the feelings of despair and hopelessness that many people are experiencing as they watch the news and see the violence and chaos that seems to be everywhere. The song was inspired by the pandemic, but its message extends far beyond that. It’s about the sense of helplessness that comes with feeling like you can’t do anything to change the world, no matter how much you want to. But amidst the darkness, there is also a glimmer of hope.
There’s an acknowledgement of the pains of today but also a recognition that there is a hope for a future built through unity.
