Matt Costa - Cigarette Eyes

[szumwalt001]

Matt has been the soundtrack of my life or at least the last four years, I am jonesing for a new album. Not sure on the spelling of jonesing.

[troky109]

amazing song amzing vid

[XxXchamtuXxX]

People arguing on YouTube makes me laugh!

[izabelle2013]

me too haha :)

[mitchellmakesvideos]

shut up stupid! lol jk :)

[green12314]

it's a very good song, but in the begining it sounds a little bit like ''coffee and t.v''

[ialove93]

it really does... minus the vocals its the same song whaat..!

[szumwalt001]

a little, but this is much better. I never was a fan of them.

[TheMnkyWithAGun]

not to disrespect but why argue about stupid stuff? like.... isnt this commenting thing for the vids? theres no point in the bickering especially here so just come to listen to the music/comment on the artist. if ya wanna argue over a persons intelligence there are so many places to do it. send a msg if ya wanna to them its all good, just kinda sucks to come to a song like this or somthing by Jack Johnson and see ppl arguing over nothing. just saying. oh btw Matt costa is epic so is Jack :P

[baersrule]

hey well youre kinda bickering about people bickering on here.. does that make you a hypocrite?

[TheMnkyWithAGun]

youve a valid point and i apoligise if it sounds like im bickering i just find when i come to a song and find a bunch of comment totally unrelated to the song its kinda sad cause there is no need for it. but yea lol i get what you're saying

[ChayenBros]

why did i just find out about him like two days ago?

[1thefallen]

because you are a hermit =D. Actually his only real publicity is because of Jack Johnson. Afterall, jack was the one who got matt's start together =)

[lethalhippo]

Dang. I love one take music videos.

[itstianaxx3]

what does cigarette eyes mean?

[EthanAnderson1]

i think its like every thing is hazzy he doesnt see the truth or something idk

[itstianaxx3]

oh, thanks(:

[pgwlgtnnz]

Wow?! unexpected chord changes...can't say its predictable?!! wicked song!

[jaythefatty]

you use too many question marks.

whoops, i meant- you use to many question marks?!!

[pgwlgtnnz]

well not only does the punctuation leave what i wrote open for QUESTIONING,

but also indicates an unexpected response knob face...don't you understand english??????????? huh??????

huh??????????

HUH?????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[constantlypissed]

heheh, knob face.... you're a funny little guy.

[pgwlgtnnz]

let me guess...you're american and you love eating mcdonalds and kfc, and you stand on the street corner, living a meaningless existance laughing and mock everyone that you see.....duh, duh dat guy fell off his bike...ah hew, hew, yuk, yuk.

fucken meathead

[fitzpantsenson]

just admit you are owned, dumbass. plain and simple. you want to sound intelligent? learn how to spell.

[musiclover397]

steryotypical ass fucker

[jaythefatty]

I understand English well enough to know that you sound like an idiot.

[pgwlgtnnz]

nah....you don't unfortunately. let me talk in a dialect you mite understand..... duh duh duh duh duh duh duh!!!!! duh????!!!!

[jaythefatty]

you spelled "might" wrong, dipshit.

[pgwlgtnnz]

don't be a fucken moron...i spell alota words wrong. its shorthand ya fucken meathead. and all this becoz you let your pride get in the way off learning to think..

[jaythefatty]

you own yourself with every ignorant comment you make. I'm done with you. at first it was fun, but you continually prove yourself to be a dipshit.

[constantlypissed]

Yeah, dipshit.

[fitzpantsenson]

yea dipshit. what a dipshit.

[fixed0gear0luv]

total dipshit. yep, you do spell a lot of words wrong. what a fuckin dipshit.

[anyfingyoulike]

i love the glasses matt's wearing!

[TheBlackrogue111]

AWESOME SONG!!!!!

[cassjamminx]

i love love love matt costa. i wish i could tour with him :( i think our music compliments each other :) lol.

[pgwlgtnnz]

well i had a look at your stuff and was expecting it to be shite but was quite surprised...not bad?!! i hope there's more to it than just voice and guitar tho? a lil depth would help alot.....atmosphere???

[Treacytime]

you would consider him folk, right? A newer type of folk obviousily,

[cassjamminx]

yes, i would :)

[DestineeSue]

basically. (:

[erinlavida]

i love hismusic.

it's so happy(:

[Asianzilla]

By "cigarette eyes" he is referring to the suspicion, or the paranoia you get, and the thrill, and you eyes start to burn, or inflame with rage to see through that self made "mist".

[dutchmau]

Hey, thanks! That would def. make sense in the context of this song.

I just happened to visit this page again, kinda new to commenting on Youtube.. but is there any way other than checking the same video to check if anyone replied to your post??

[jeffshell3]

yea you get an email and a mesasge on youtube

[chrislarson15]

When you sign in it usually says on the right side of the screen that you have new comments. This includes replies.

[dutchmau]

These internet arguments are painfully pathetic. Get each other's MSN addresses and carry on this sad back and forth on there, please.

As to this song, as this discussion is supposed to pertain to, does anyone know what he means with "Cigarette Eyes?"

[BrandonShotTheDeputy]

What the helllll.

[CranberryJuiceCap]

The Beatles rock i have to agree butttt

if your spamming your shit on youtube comments your opinions not worth anyones time, jesus say it once

[MAGGERMUFIN]

omg this video was so cute. i love matt costa's voice

[Terluindude87]

This guy is awesome!

Very unique!

[googlemcdooglehead]

oh yeah ive met him

when he came to australia on jack johnsons tour last year..

he was wandering centennial park (where the concert was held) and i saw him and called him over to me and my mates.. he is a bloody staunch.. tall as. awesome dude though

[stacydawg]

i love matt, jack, ben! there music is awesome

[anyfingyoulike]

if i met him i'm sure i'd fancy him. hes such a cutie!

[WackyWadslow]

Ok you cant say the beatles didnt do anything...

they pretty much paved the road for other bands and music in the future...

[JSkizzy224]

the beatles didn't do anything special. the who were so much better, it's just that the people weren't ready for them yet. in fact, they weren't that good, so they had to have someone else play the guitar part on one of their best songs!

[wallace7jefferson]

The Beatles were everything. The Who were scene rockers who dabbled in a touch of pretension, the Green Day of their Day. The Beatles were a force of nature, the most powerful musical force the world will ever know

[JSkizzy224]

did you just blow a load in your pants talking about the beatles? really? the beatles SUCKED.

[wallace7jefferson]

man, you're 40 years of age, were u like raped by one of the beatles or something? how can they annoy u so much? its not a matter of opinion anyway, they were the greatest ever, its a fact...the sky is blue, the grass is green, the beatles were the greatest band ever.

[JSkizzy224]

i'm actually half that age. and i am just not blinded by what everyone else thinks about the beatles. they really weren't good at all.

[wallace7jefferson]

wooohoo for you then man, congrats on being an "individual". go for it, douche. Good luck with improving your music taste too btw.

[JSkizzy224]

thanks :) i would rather have my individual taste in good music than be a conforming dick sucker like you.

[wallace7jefferson]

"conforming"

haha, sorry, I didn't realise you were a 14 year old Emo. That explains things.

[JSkizzy224]

haha i actually like all types of music. it doesn't matter what genre it is. that is why i have opened my eyes, unlike you.

[wallace7jefferson]

oh you opened your EYES? good for you. Well I opened my EARS, hence why I like good music, like The Beatles. I suggest you open yours.

[JSkizzy224]

all the music i listen to is good music. that's why i don't sit around and masturbate to the beatles like you do. here's some advice: take all the beatles albums you have (which i assume is all of them) and throw them away because they are garbage. then, listen to some great music because i KNOW you aren't used to it.

[wallace7jefferson]

no Im good, Im gna try this new thing now,Im gna be like you and open my EYES and WATCH music for awhile, see how it works out.

[JSkizzy224]

good :) i know it will work out better than what you are doing now. good luck!

[Treacytime]

nick drake. enough said

[JSkizzy224]

oh don't ruin it for me. the beatles suck ass.

[anyfingyoulike]

you might not want to admit it but the beatles are amazing and this song is kinds beatlesque in a more folky way rather than indie like the beatles. gotta love the curly hair=]

[midnightrambler219]

anyone know if he'll be releasing another single/video anytime?

[KiwiMangoLove]

I'm not sure if he will release another single. But I do know that he is going to have a new cd named "Manic Motel" or "Manic Hotel" sometime later this year or next year. He talked about it in a interview.

[circagirl50]

good song?

ov course

good singer?

FUCK YEAH BOI!

[carina15]

I had the same impression!! reminds me of back in the USSR too!!

[mogalii]

hahahaah soooo much like USSR

[GunsNRoses247]

Very Beatle-esque... sounds like back in the USSR to me

[CamMusicParkour]

anyone else notice that the drummer only has a symbal and snare?

[Iheartgazelles]

He has a base drum too...

[ChristinasMusiic]

i love the video and that guy... and of course i looooooooooove that song :)

[SNAZZchik]

[billythedevil2005]

hes so attractive.

[sparkfatblunts]

what are "cigarette eyes"

[hek7]

i think you get cigarette eyes when someone blows smoke in your eyes. just a guess

[Frankkkkkoow]

Maybe because his girlfriend took off with another chap and he gets tears in his eyes because of that. -staying cool to say it's because of the cigarette smoke.

also just a guess.

[floboskifilms]

I talked to him after a show in June and he said Cigarette eyes was seeing something through the haze of the smoke or something like that. Some girl we were sitting next to asked him what it meant.

[sparkfatblunts]

thats sick. if you hollered at him like that and he responded just like that..the dude must be real chill

[jomeianoitee]

10000000******************

[wenahaone]

it's funny the way he says cigarette.

[wheezer717]

Is it just me, or does he resemble John Lennon?

[chokicou]

Ah ah ! Only the glasses :)

All the videos of Matt Costa are... awesome !

[brroknhrt99]

[Igelior]

yeah, it's far to hectic to fit the music... it just isn't in harmony with matt costa and his songs at all...

[kelsiethenajacketXP]

this is an awesomish song...with an extremely suckish vid...AWFUL!!!

[NatPradoTheory]

yea i love this song, but frankly i do not love this video..at all. for that matter. they could've done so much with this, they could've made it work a little better

[devon854]

I really like this song. It's pretty funny when he's in the TV too.

[Huckleberrysmf]

[TheAlbionSailor]

not one of my favourite songs

definitely my favourite video!

[TheBabyPunter]

Says the person that likes Blink 182 and Angels and Airwaves? That's just I-fucking-ronic man.

[soccerholic101]

matt costa is frkin amazing i love him

[gorillakombat]

ha, i would have to say Matt's most entertaining video. One of my favorite Artists!!

[rvb2006]

l i love this video!!!! cute

[ruppel1968]

What the hell is your problem with that??? It's just a funny thing!!!

[brocolizz]

lovely

[bhalla]

what an awesome video

[leahsneddon]

i actually really love this song.:)

[Dansull123]

Cute video, I liked how the wrapped it up with Ms Magnolia, just as they wrap up Mr Pitiful video with a song clip that's from Vienna I think (could be mistaken) Good Video, Harry the hat craked me up as the waiter, James Fletched looked good and funny. And of course, Matt was Matt.

[Dansull123]

James Fletcher ** typo **

[Eyedias]

sweet

[doitorDie27]

He came too my school too

[dbredskates]

you guys are fags, he's the man!

[corporateohio]

I love this new song by Matt. He's sound has somewhat changed from Songs We Sing, though, and I'm not sure if I like his new or old music better.

Its so weird to already be saying this about a new artist. =/

[theusedareus]

new artist? what? MATT COSTA IS AMAZING! and it's not a *new* song...its a new video...this song has been out for a while...douche

[corporateohio]

He came out in 2003, didn't get popular until 2006, and even then he wasn't well-known. To me, he's still a relatively new artist. He's only released one full-length album, and that was in 2008.

I'm pretty sure I don't deserve to be called a douche for saying that I like his first EPs better. =/ I still like this song, and Matt Costa, though.

[EpiLP]

Only one full album? How is 'Songs We Sing' not a full length album...?

And I wouldn't say his sound is changing - certain influences are definitely more pronounced now, though.

[ineedmoney282]

he has two albums as far as i know.

[wenahaone]

he'll have three soon. "Manic man" is awesome! "sweet as codeine with vaseline hands." That shit is great!

I don't wanna sound like a douche that's full of myself, but he kinda reminds me of myself in little ways. Maybe he does to everyone and that's what makes him great. I dunno.

[ant0mini0xtremist]

hey man, any ideas on what album this is on?

[NS4UU]

unfamiliar faces if im not mistaken

[wenahaone]

it's on unfamiliar faces. he's not mistaken.

[stae7]

it is on unfamiliar faces. They're not mistaken.

[Chris13wat]

none of these guys are mistaken it is on unfamiliar faces

[stae7]

haha!

[theusedareus]

uhm okay douche you know all those year facts but....this is his SECOND ALBUM!

uh duh SONGS WE SING...and now is 2008 UNFAMILIAR FACES!

i'm no math mathematician but 1+1=2

douche.

[corporateohio]

you need to come down. we're talking about music, just because i worded it wrong doesn't make me a douche. songs we sing was released in 2005 as an independent release, making it an LP. his first CD was Unfamiliar Faces on Brushfire.

you need to calm down and get a new insult besides 'douche'.

[theusedareus]

okay cunt.

they are still COMPACT DISCS!

i don't give a flying fuck about LP..

they are Cds...mmkay slut?

[concertmate]

not the best for him. :(

[Iheartgazelles]

I have to admit...this is not Matt's best.

[Dansull123]

When I first got "Unfamiliar faces" I felt it wasn't as strong as most of the other songs on the album, but have come to LOVE it, in my top 3 from that album at this point! Give it a few more listens, and see him perform it live, then tell me what you think.
