Man, I promise you everytime this song had come out on weather channel, I just recorded it so instead of not being able to find the Mp3, I'd just keep rewinding back and forth when the song was over on tv, haha. Well done man. I salute.

[askingsley69]

there is a listing of music played by TWC but not this one. I have been listening to it for days and wish to sit down at my Tyros, and play it. Its very beautiful, and reminds me of some the works of composers like George Winston and other greats. It too, is one of my new favorites. Thank you so much for sharing your talents and music with us. Lets hear more from you!

[MattPianoMan]

@askingsley69 - It is an honor to be compared to the great George Winston. A sincere thank you to you! Thanks for listening and for your kind words! Have a nice day!

[smokeynewton]

Like everyone else, I went looking for this piece after hearing it on the Weather Channel. This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard, maybe THE most beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[MattPianoMan]

@smokeynewton - I don't know what to say ... you comment is very inspiring to me and it's a pleasure to have you as a listener. A sincere thank you to you.

[jdesommes1]

This is so beautiful. It literally stopped me in my tracks every time it came on the Weather Channel. I finally searched their playlists and then searched in iTunes (and bought it). I found it on YouTube later and was able to share it on my fb wall. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[MattPianoMan]

@jdesommes1 - Thanks so much for listening. Great to have you as a listener and I am glad you are enjoying my music! Thanks for sharing.

[LaAnimeKHsoraXkairi]

FFFFFFFFINALLY!!! TwT thank you for posting this!! Do have ANY IDEA how difficult it is to find music that's played during the local on the 8s??? REALLY HARD, and now we've had a breakthrough!! :D

[MattPianoMan]

@LaAnimeKHsoraXkairi - So glad you found what you were looking for and to have you as a listener. Thanks for commenting! :)

[vickroid]

Great song!!! It goes very good with the steady rain that TS Lee is bringing.

[MattPianoMan]

@vickroid - Thanks! Here's to hoping TS Lee doesn't cause too much flooding. Thanks for listening!

With our children and grandchildren ,we are headed up to the Great Smoky Mountains Labor Day weekend....Grandpa and Grandma so love heading out before the sun even comes up,to see it rise on the road with our Crackle Barrel Coffee in hand...and because you Matt have graciously shared your music,we will have the most beautiful melodies...enriching our hearts ,every mile

[MattPianoMan]

@MelodiousSonnet1 - So glad you are enjoying my music! Nature inspires much of what I compose so it seems very suiting as you drive through our beautiful countryside. It's an honor to have you as a listener! :) Thanks for taking the time to share your experience!

[IPLaw7]

I just heard this today on The Weather Channel radio at 3:58 pm. I'm so glad I found it. August 2011 music wasn't listed on the Weather Channel website yet, so it took some searching, but it was worth it.

[MattPianoMan]

@IPLaw7 - I am also glad you found it! Thanks for searching, listening and commenting! Great to have you as a listener! :)

[adagost]

Matthew, your music is fabulous! I actually had a similar experience that Yipon5 had- I love weather and watch TWC every night. My husband doesn't pay much attention but when your song came on the "Local on the 8's" segment, we were both like, "Wow, I love this song!" so I found you on youtube and sent him the link so he could listen to it at work today (he is now inspired to learn piano :). You are so talented!  I was wondering if you have uploaded a slower version of this song?

Thanks!

[MattPianoMan]

@adagost - Wow, thanks so much for sharing! I'm am honored that my music has inspired your husband to play the piano! Inspiration is a wonderful thing, the power behind pretty much everything I write. So glad you found my music as it's great to have you as a listener! Regarding a slower version, the version that made the cut for my CD, "Escape from Reality" is slightly slower than my YouTube version. This is pretty much the tempo I felt suited my piece! :) Thanks for your comment!

[baileesue]

Found your CD..it's on the way ..can't wait..Thank you for your exquisite work.

[MattPianoMan]

@baileesue - Thanks so much! :) It's an honor to have you as a listener! Thanks for commenting!

[baileesue]

I am absolutely enthralled with this selection..Chasing the Wind is has got to be your best..it gets into my soul..Thank you buddy..

[MattPianoMan]

@baileesue - Thanks so much! :) So glad to hear!

[yipon5]

My husband often looks at the weather before bed and usually I pay no attention, but last night I was captivated, not by the weather, but by your music. This morning I woke up to an e-mailed link to this clip. Apparently my husband searched and found you so I could wake up to your wonderful music. Thank you for starting my day off with happiness.

[MattPianoMan]

@yipon5 - This means alot ... I really do appreciate your comment! So glad you were able to find my music and honored to have you as a listener! Very happy to hear my music brightened your day! :)

[Pianoprincess44]

I heard this song on the weather channel and ever since, I have been desperate to figure out what it is so I can learn it on piano. And now I have! It is absolutely mesmerizingly beautiful! Thanks soooo much!!!

[MattPianoMan]

@Pianoprincess44 - So glad you found my music and it's great to have you as a listener! Thanks so much for your comment! :)

[LiLItalianboy991]

Just heard this on the Weather Channel, and I'd love to play it. Are the sheets available anywhere?

[MattPianoMan]

@LiLItalianboy991 - Considering publishing sheet music in the near future. Stay tuned to my website for more information! :) Thanks for the interest!

[jordansantos777]

You wouldn't happen to have the sheets for this would you?

[MattPianoMan]

@jordansantos77 - Considering publishing sheet music in the near future. Stay tuned to my website for more information! :) Thanks for the interest!

[megalodonbite]

I don't comment very much on youtube but I thought I would on this one. I'm more of a metalhead myself, play guitar etc. However, I occasionally love to stray away from my usual distortion and loud leads to listen to some good piano...the great's such as George Winston. Dude, I know good original music when I hear it...and THIS is GOOD. The more I listen, the more I love it. I'll definitely be keeping a close ear on your stuff from now on and keep up the great work!

[MattPianoMan]

@megalodonbite - I sincerely appreciate your comment. It is always great to get feedback such as yours. Thanks for listening and taking the time to post!

[thereshegoes03]

Incredible. I've got an upcoming project for my art class which is an abstract piece based off of an instrumental song. I've been searching for the perfect song for weeks, and when I heard this on the Weather Channel, I knew it was the one :) I'm going to buy it on Amazon.

[MattPianoMan]

@thereshegoes03 - A sincere thank you to you! So glad you are enjoying this piece. Thanks for your comment! :) Very happy to know that my music is providing inspiration for your art! :)

[Katzenliebchen]

I agree with Mylie ... I was absolutely mesmerized by this beautiful, haunting piece. I appreciate the weather channel using this beautiful song. I hunted all day today before finding you, Mr. Shuman, and I am so happy now. After finding you on a YouTube link to the Weather Channel, I then found you at Amazon ... wrong name though ... it should be AMAZING ... as is your wonderful playing.

[MattPianoMan]

@Katzenliebchen - Thanks so much! So glad you found my music! The Weather Channel has helped get it out there.  If you would like to find out more, you can visit my website in the video description. Thanks for listening and for taking the time to comment! :)

[mileycyrusbase]

Hi Mr Shuman ,

I gotta say first time i heard this song i was like wow :D i forgot about watching the weather,instead i went listing to this masterpiece of piano its has a nice emotion inside this song. Never listened much to piano music but this masterpiece got me hooked :D love it when it hear this song at the weatherchannel.

[MattPianoMan]

@mileycyrusbase - Thanks so much! Your comment means alot! So glad you enjoy this piece!

[Mike248814]

beautiful music

[MattPianoMan]

@Mike248814 - Thank you sir!

[scarebear83]

You know when I hear this, I think of a crisp autumn day with leaves all around and it's kind of cloudy and just strolling down the street. It's very beautiful. Some of your other songs kind of have that "autumn feel" to them as well.

[MattPianoMan]

@scarebear83 - Thanks so much for your comment! :) It is funny you mention this as what you describe is similar to what was going through my mind when I composed this piece. Thanks for listening!

[possumpatty]

Awesome! I want to learn to play the keyboard, just to play your song!

[MattPianoMan]

@possumpatty - That means alot, thanks for commenting and I am glad you enjoy this piece.

[MattPianoMan]

@glovemtb1 - Thanks so much! :) Thanks for listening and commenting.

We also found you via the weather channel. Is the sheet music available?

[MattPianoMan]

@ccjach - Thank you for your interest ... sheet music is not available at this time, but please stay tuned to my website as it maybe in the future! :)

[MelodiousSonnet1]

I'm a grandma,who along with grandpa are avid watchers of the weather channel .when I heard this song it just reached out and grabbed me,and I found myself listening for it..thinking who plays so beautifully,and what was the melodys name,so I went looking on the weather channel, and on u-tube clicking on every song today till I found it. It is so rivetingly beautiful,striking chord in you heart like a thunderous storm, , like being caught up in a swirling mass of autumn leaves..Soooo enjoying.

[MattPianoMan]

@MelodiousSonnet1 - So glad you found my music as it's an honor to have you listening and thank you for your kind words!
