Excellent thick guitar tone and nice flow on the lyrics.

this song is lyrically genius... you have grabbed me and inspired me... thank you :)

The title track from the New EP by Matt Montez 'Sight From Inside'

This track is about looking within to find guidance.  If you stop and find yourself lost or not knowing which direction to take... take a deep breath and ask yourself for the answer, it will never let you down.  It's described as a second sight, using it to guide you to look beyond the 5 sensory inputs and allow oneself to go with the flow.

All the sounds in the song were created with an acoustic guitar, the deep bass drum sound is a fist against the body of of an old acoustic guitar.  

A song from the 2014 EP Sight From Inside.
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Brett Hamlyn at Deva Studios.

Lyrics:
Sight from inside

Feet down run around been around the whole town
Don't know how to stop only the meaning to go
Running up and down the valley straight through the alley
Shifting left and right now my head is spinning round and round.

In the tree in front the sea, you wanna see what i can see
Atop the hill a shady chill welcomed on a hot summers day
Take a flip-flop walk down to the boardwalk
A hip-scotch on the rocks each step I step, I take with grace

I’m becoming someone else
All of this will shape me, shape me for the best
Nothing can take this away from me, nothing can break a spirit that’s free
I’m becoming someone else

I’ve got direction from inside though I can’t explain
And I’m not gunna try and hide
Every time I listen my life starts to glisten
Lighting up my life and brightening up my destiny

I’m becoming someone else
All of this will shape me, shape me for the best
Nothing can take this away from me, nothing can break a spirit that’s free
I’m becoming someone else

My heart beat beat beat is strong
Revealing the way like an inner guidance system
But My heart beat beat beat is strong
It’s sounding so loud I can't help but listen

The first single from the debut LP 'The Ghost & The Rhythm (Out April 2026)
Little Lion is a swirling funk maelstrom of late night atmospheric horns, a severely funked rhythm section, driving disco chops all topped with the ethereal other worldly vocals of Kat Harrison.

Emerging from the subconscious, this track explores the unsettling feeling of being haunted by yourself and wrestling with inner ghosts; what it means to face the parts of yourself usually kept in the dark and being forced to confront the shadows within.

Surprise Me ❤️

In the grand scale of the universe, we’re each just one of 8 billion people on this planet, and our sun is just one of 100 billion stars in the Milky Way. It’s humbling, but it also makes the depth of our emotions feel even more powerful in contrast; a feeling I’ve tried to capture in this song. 

"SunVioletStar" is about the things that mean the most to us, the ones that shape our world, until a misguided influence causes it all to collapse. It explores that fragility and the process of finding your way back to yourself.

SunVioletStar

A song about the slow corrosion of a toxic bond built on need, denial, and intertwined self-destruction. It traces the feeling of watching someone you love lose the purity and ideals they once held, and the guilt of wanting both to save them and to escape them. The song moves between quiet repression and stark honesty, unraveling the truth that nothing resolves itself on its own, capturing the moment of admitting that in trying to save someone, you become part of the damage too.
