A beautiful assortment of jangling guitars and illuminated synths unveil throughout “Forever Light,” a new track from MatAre. The project of musician and songwriter Matt Rousseau continues a strong string of releases, catching our ears especially the past year with tracks like “Dream About You” and “On Purpose.”
Pairing with the melodic production are themes of appreciation for others’ beliefs, and how that can help guide them positively. The lyrics stir in their portrayal of a “personal who made it all,” worthwhile following personal storms; the radiant, title-referencing hook follows with illuminated qualities. “Forever Light” is another stellar output from MatAre.
Rousseau elaborates on the track:
“I am not a religious or spiritual person. I do not have religious beliefs. However, there is someone in my life who does… and this song is about them. It is a song where I explore a person and their faith. The Forever Light is a person’s faith and its especially meaningful to me that it exists for an entire lifetime. It is something that someone unequivocally has and it is part of their reality. I know understand how a person can have a beautiful life guided by their Forever Light. Even though I do not have this in my life it was an amazing journey to write this song and explore the positivity of that message.”
