Song Review/ Piano : Matt Johnson’s ‘For Good’
Matt Johnson is a pianist and composer with a depth that you just want to fall into. His compositions have a way of being immersive, blurring the boundaries of music and emotions, creating connections in profound ways. His latest release is ‘For Good’, a track that explores the theme with inky piano notes.
Each note is given space and time to stain the soundscape with its emotion. And the more of them that amass, the more drenched you get in the soft dalliance that is this composition. A bittersweet daze comes over you, making you nostalgic and reflective. It’s powerful how wordlessly he draws out beautiful moments of memories and contemplation. The progressions are soft and non-linear, so human as it swirls and flows into the depth of the theme.
