Matt DeAngelis – I’m Just The Keyboard Player (Official Music Video)

I’m Just The Keyboard Player” is a song that was written to convey the sometimes solitary life of a traveling musician, and in this case the keyboard player. They are often hidden in the back of the band, not acknowledged nearly as much as the main members of the group, such as the guitar player or lead singer.

I wrote this song at a time when I first began working within a band setting having feelings about my place within the band. When I developed my vocal skills, and moved into a front man role, it was a breakthrough moment, a “seeing the light” moment. It was then that I realized the importance of both roles. It’s reaching a level of spiritual contentment, being comfortable with yourself and your place in the world.

In the meantime, by continuing to do it right with a positive attitude, whether or not that revelation occurs, you can still begin to make change happen in your life, be it physical or mental. Universally, I realized that it’s about people who sometimes feel insignificant, in the background. Whether developing into a role that is more upfront, or remaining in more of a background role, they can have that “seeing the light” moment where they realize that greatness and success are a sum of all the parts.

Essentially, all things work together for the good of others, or the greater cause, whether it’s holding down the keys in a band, or simply being on the assembly line of a manufacturer. For many it’s difficult to truly recognize how their role–big or small–fits into the big picture. If we truly realize and embrace our role, a level of happiness and fulfillment can be reached that will take us to another level of consciousness.
