Let Me Go Now
I'm Matteo, French/Brazilian singer and guitar player based in Paris. I've been workin as a musician for more than a decade now, but this is my first release in my own name ! :)
Recorded and miwed at home, i played all the instruments you can hear, singing too.
Lyrically, it draws from a deeply personal conversation with my godfather about his peaceful acceptance of the end of life, using nature imagery and new horizons to explore acceptance and inner peace.
I hope you like it ! :Dmore
