Shredding the guitar strings like the very pieces of his own soul, Rob Massard tugs at a listener’s heartstrings with his impassioned dedication to his craft and just how profound he is with his music. It is not always just any other day for him in the office; his music is an inseparable extension of himself—they are conjoined from the very root, and he surely knows how to get to the heart of his every release, making a listener feel like they are right there as the emotions unfold. In a largely unpredictable world where everyone is battling demons we know nothing of, music comes as a singular healer for us all, and for Rob, it is not only his most preferred form of creative expression but the tool he likes to utilize to remind others that they are not alone in their experiences.
Listen to the inspiration of “So Very High,” told stunningly over a glowing guitar foundation whose basis is built from the ground up, allowing for a sufficient buildup that is added layers as the song progresses, mirroring the track’s emotional depth and conveying a universally resonant theme that is easy to identify with for everyone.
The guitar masterclass unleashed here is a huge testament to the guitar virtuosity of Rob as he lets his deft fingers do the talking for a good 1 minute and 15 seconds before he lets his subtly soulful and empathetic voice gently slide in and breathe life into this masterpiece.
From there on, the track’s growth is imminent as Rob adds depth and flavor to the track with a more progressive touch that feels cinematic and captures the emotional weight of the subject matter about providing a leaning shoulder for those navigating life’s complexities, helping them smile and flying their kite…so very high!
The ‘high’ here is significant because as the song progresses, so does the guitar-laden instrumentation, rising to a progressive fever pitch and towards the climax, allowed to transcend with what feels like some stringed instrumentation injected for more acuity. The end result is a cinematic piece that feels like it perfectly belongs as an epic movie soundtrack.
The accompanying animated visuals make for a great sight as the music uplifts and empowers its listener, prompting them to push that repeat button for another immersive listening experience that defies just mere appeal.
