Song Review/ Acoustic : Martin Lloyd Howard’s ‘Highland Mist’

With his latest single, ‘Highland Mist’, Martin Lloyd Howard casts the listener in a serene and zen stillness. The acoustic guitar instrumental is meant to gently evoke and cultivate a deep and earthly calmness. As you journey through the song, you feel both incredibly grounded and light at the same time. Despite its minimalism, there’s an expanse to the song, to the feeling that it evokes. It’s sentimental, melancholic, and thoughtful.

The song is meant to gather you without curbing exploration. At some points, the artist seems to have connected with the oriental simplicity. Note by note, chord by chord, you’re given an immense landscape. You can almost perceive it. Feel the height of the mountain peak, the mist unfolding around you. A soft, steady, cold breeze lifting into your hair. The mind is silent but full. The heart is full of feeling. It has power because it has an innate way of bringing your back to yourself. All the noise fades away and it’s just you. Listen Now!

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
