Matt Zarley, who we love here at Instinct, decided to step away from his usual controversial style in the video for his latest single, "Change Begins With Me."

Instead he's serving up stripped down, inspirational realness that we admit, may have lifted our jaded hearts up to a level where we can't even deliver snark!!

Written by Zarley, Andy Zulla, and Chris Curtis, “Change Begins With Me”, is described as "a heartfelt anthem and declaration of
self-acceptance, responsibility, and forgiveness."  The track also features the acclaimed Broadway Inspirational Voices.

Check it out after the jump (and let your hearts soar, etc.)!
