5k views of which 3K are all me. Love this piece. One of my top discoveries of 2024.

[@MattSteady]

@@mikbethreno haha love that thank you :)

[@sixthsense2966]

thanks for the CD Matt, your tracks are great

[@MattSteady]

Ah thanks so much!

[@craigsheehan]

As I walk through the forests and mountains of north wales with you in my headphones. I'm transported. Along a musical jurney through time and emotions. Thank you for that. Truly amazing.

[@MattSteady]

@@craigsheehan lovely! Wales is fabulous

[@brandonmcfee6614]

Definitely listening to this while riding my bike out in nature. Great music man.

[@MattSteady]

@@brandonmcfee6614 lovely! Thanks Brandon

[@carynsaunders303]

For those times when you need to just be 'taken away'. And breathe...

[@NickB_Yorkshire]

Love this piece. Great track and video (love the unravelling of all of the extension leads at the end 😂😂). Great album - my CD arrived today 👍🏼😁💿

[@MattSteady]

Thanks Nick! :) We had a fun time making the video (froze though!)

[@ds-fr4ef]

Yeah buddy! (David Starkey)

[@MattSteady]

hehe thanks David!

@@MattSteady I'm all about this my friend, great for my health!

[@foreverautumn63]

I’ve only just found you (joy, joy, joy!) and I love this so much! Your tone and feel are just beautiful and the video made me smile. (I hope you don’t mind me saying but I can hear a bit of Steve Rothery and Michel St-Pere. (Mystery) in there….gorgeous!)

[@MattSteady]

Hehe thank you :) Glad if I made you smile. I don't know Mystery, but Marillion are one of my favourite bands ever. Funnily enough I've never tried to play any of their songs. That's odd!

[@paulmccarthy1978]

Just love this Matt. Came to it by chance through the you tube rabbit hole. Much of my career was in adoption and fostering, greatest privilege of my life was meeting foster carers and adopters.

[@MattSteady]

Ah fabulous! Kindred spirit :)

[@ralphbeebytheelephantcolle1651]

I know it's a small detail amongst everything else going on - aurally and visually - but I love the way you've mixed Terl's percussion in here. Listening on a half-decent pair of headphones, and the hand drums feel like they're coming out of the corners of this enormous stereo picture.

[@MattSteady]

Oh hasn't he done an amazing job! I was NOT expecting hand drums at all, and I even had a straight beat which he changed into that slightly shuffled groove. I had to listen about 100 times before I could get my head round it, then it clicked. He's a genius.

[@ImolaS3]

Only disco vered you today - I too an from Leicester :) love the songs I've heard so far and will be ordering a CD!

[@MattSteady]

@@ImolaS3 huzzah for Leicester! Thanks for listening :)

Superb guitar work. Great song, fantastic album Matt.

Cheers Rob!

[@seldoncrisis6694]

Marvelous! So well executed. The music, the scenery, the drone cinematography. Just gorgeous!

[@MattSteady]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm indebted to my friend Nick for the videoing! Although I did walk up the hill more times than him...

[@NickTsiatinis]

@@MattSteadytoo right. Why walk up a hill when I can send a drone up it? 😉

[@MattSteady]

@@NickTsiatinis When your drone can carry my amp, I'll be listening

[@NickTsiatinis]

That was your life decision 😆

[@Joon8471]

Incredible Matt, very haunting and beautiful

So glad it touched you!

[@johnreed-music]

Spot on Matt! 👌 I love how this instrumental album came from leftfield. Something you needed to do and you've excelled 😎

[@MattSteady]

Aww thanks John!

[@jchopsticks3905]

My dad showed me this! I love your style! Has Marooned and cluster one by Pink Floyd all over. We go each couple of years to watch Aussie Floyd, if you are ever around we will go to watch you tooo!

[@MattSteady]

Fab! They’re amazing :) I took everything down from Spotify a while back. They are a great experience for the listener, but as an artist the experience is, let’s say, not as great ;) You can, however, get downloads of my albums from my website at mattsteady.com and point Spotify at your local music directory to play those tunes as well as the streamies. Thanks!

[@WrenFaithBridger]

GREAT job! Powerful song; gorgeous scenery! Great job!

[@MattSteady]

Thanks so much - so glad you joined us!

[@MattSteady]

@@traceywalsgrove thanks Tracey!

[@TheCrazyItalian88]

That was triumphant! I really enjoyed it. Your guitar playing is superb. I bet you used quite a long extension cord to get power up to the top of that peak. I can't wait to get the whole album. Take care from David Chiossone in the USA : 777

[@MattSteady]

Hehe was fun but very tiring to film! My shins are still complaining :) Thanks David

[@paulac999]

Fantastic sound Matt! Gorgeous surroundings.

[@squonkyman]

I know that hill... Don't envy you lugging an amp up there 😅 Another wonderful track, I'm so looking forward to hearing the whole album. When it releases, I can see myself heading to a similar location as the sun sets and listening to the whole thing over headphones. Majestic sound in a majestic natural environment.

[@MattSteady]

it's an amazing location isn't it! Great for bird photography too

[@vavaara9032]

This is fantastic. Very powerful and beautiful scenery.

[@MattSteady]

Thank you for watching!

[@emilkorridore]

Great song, great video! This should have a million views! Or more! Best wishes from Germany!

[@MattSteady]

Cheers Jan!

[@nicodemusjansson1301]

Matt my man, this is so good!! 🤘 What a song and what a sound! And amazing video too! I love how many guitarist don't even bother plugging in their guitars for videos, and you actually rolled out electricity cables. :)

[@MattSteady]

Hehe thanks mate 😁

[@melissadsings]

This is my fav. off the album, I can't stop listening to it lol. There is such a strong metaphor when the amp is being carried up the hill, Its like a lesson that if you hang in there in tough times and don't give up, you will see the light and beauty on the other side! This is f!@!ing epic!

[@MattSteady]

Ahhh lovely to read that this morning. Thank you

[@karenrichman359]
