New Release: Octopus's Garden

Today, Matt is releasing a free download of classic Beatles track Octopus’s Garden.

On the release Matt said: “I've recorded a version of a song that I think is unfairly dismissed as a throwaway.

I see Octopus's Garden differently.

For me it's about embracing the warmth and comfort of the people you deeply care about, taking solace and support from them, and reciprocating for those who need it in return.

I've tried to reinterpret the song to make it anthemic, emotional and a song to throw your arm around a friend to.

I've nicked a bit of my favourite Oasis song and incorporated it. They've performed Whatever and done the reverse, so I wanted to add that element as a nostalgic nod to one of the songs that means the most to me.

I hope you enjoy it.”
