Matt Costa - Astair - Live @ Easy Street Records

[CanKuman8]

I didn't hear it from Chuck but when I heard it on the show I was surprised and happy :)

[PhilDiffy4LIFE]

His first album is his best one.

[candurmusoglu]

I heard on Chuck,too :D

I hate Daniel Shaw ! Son of a bitch !

But it's awesome

[SpymarkStudio]

heard on chuck, awesome :)

[StarsInTheirPlace]

awesome..

[GloriaCTTA]

I heard on Chuck too.

[adelechecade]

I heard that on Chuck!

[kurtrossproductions]

Matt Costa è troppo un grande

[spvdh]

[Izabel24]

[guilledrc11]

[dyfrus]

[sarahgurl82]

I like this version better than the cd I have, beautiful

[aannamm]

love himm

[dannygmate123]

He is so so so so goooooooood

[docko84]

matt costa and mason jennings are both better songwriters and artists then jack johnson dont get my wrong jack johnson is great but mason and matt are amazing

[Jelzzy81]

funny i don't see jack or mason mentioned here at all. Sure Costa is a part of the label but that doesn't change the fact that you are stupid.

[ydfau61]

Agreed. I have nothing against Jack, but Matt and Mason should be the real stars on brushfire.

[sprangcjk]

Wow. So not true - don't downgrade another artist simply because you're partial to Matt and Mason.

Jack Johnson is a genious.

[ydfau61]

I never said anything bad about Jack in my first comment. I just said that I think Matt and Mason are better. I think Jack is a very good guitar player and has a nice voice. I just think Matt and Mason have more interesting lyrics and more variety in how their music sounds.

[jackmanllama]

its a completley different style of music you almost cant compare them. jack johnson plays a much lazier style (not in a bad way) it makes his songs real catchy. i think they are both amazing they both have there own styles so you dont really need to compare them =D

[basketcase5295]

@docko84 i agree dude. jack johnsons songs are cheesy are inferior to matts. their fame should be switched in my opinion...

[jutotheli]

beautiful

[wondersgirl101]

They're all good?

[July168]

♥ :)

[aaarggh]

great song - love the guitar :)

[cakin93]

ah i love himm

[poesdouro]

Matt Costa completly rulesss.

=P

KEEP THE GOOD VIBE

[jing3234]

i love his songs so much!

[crimefighter11]

I love matt costa. been to his concert and have all his cds. He is defenitly worth listening to. He is amazing. and hot

[unknownuser1223]

heard him first time at a Jack Johnson gig, Jack couldn't big him up enough.

[musicislife1010]

Love this song. I just discovered this guy by accident just the other day while surfing itunes. He has some really good stuff.

[nelson143143]

try mason jennings as well, they're both mates and their music is quite similar

[musicislife1010]

I'll check him out. Thanks!

[ydfau61]

Brett Dennen is also worth checking out.

[derchrizz]

Great Song!

[tinkebellz]

LOVE this song. My fave Matt Costa song!

[sammid2413]

Absolutely love it. Great quality.

[JooElement]

I was just wondering, is Astair a name that was made up (aside from Fred Astaire) or something else?

[amerkins]

seeing him tomorrow!!

[jleeX3]

seein this guy next week, so stoked. siick song

[thatguy903]

i think Matt has a degree in IT

[headlisthorseman]

what?

[JakeyHards]

really eh?

[xKarolina]

haha, I see what you mean, but can you blame anyone for ripping off Bobby D? He was just that good. lol

[Ferraro03]

That's what I thought.

[fwbrc51]

awesome. i got to finally see him perform 2 hours drive from my town on my birthday. the show actually turned out to be free and yes, i was at work at 7am the next morning....lots of coffee that day.

[gophins23]

he is so good

[ssassyf]

Loooovvve this song - brings back some happy memories and makes me sad at the same time :o(

[rdalebishop]

such the man

[Zac1893]

Is that a 12 string?

[nekrom909]

no...

[guitarreronil]

perfeição nas melodias e nas letras mto foda...

essa kra é bom mesmo...falow!!!

[riks311]

Some reason his earlier stuff seems so much better and with more heart than unfamiliar faces. I still like him though.

[Divinorumx10]

did you use preset focal lengths or was it auto focus in the intro? Just wondering

[funkadelicdudet]

this song is amazing, when i whent to his show last month the entire crowd was singing. i find it odd that this audience is so silent. but its good for recording purposes, all i got recorded was a bunch of people yelling the words.

[staa3]

he puts so much heart into his music

[lubylounina]

So good.

[wafflecne]

ahh i love this song

[chadzdawson]

I love this version, I have the recorded version on my channel. It's really good too.

[jcargz]

It's Even Better Live!!! Man He Is Good.....

[rob12883]

this song took me 6 sittings on youtube and ultimate guitar together at a half hou a piece and it was worth every second of it. how do you shrink a megabytes?

[gayfarmerboy]

No such thing as shrinking megabytes, technically. I mean you could zip a file and what not to make it smaller and faster to download and upload and what not. But it really all based on the metric system (I'm American folks give me a break). Such as... one thousand KILOBYTES = 1 MB. (Technically it's like 1024 or something, but simply put it's a thousand)

[wowsers46]

i love how layed back he is

[Gaigerocks1990]

he sure can pick and sounds great live

[ImportanceOfWhatever]

love this song <3

[Imp44]

sounds like hes singing this faster than ive heard in the past. still awesome though

[shortbus90]

I think I actually like this version better than the recorded one.

[perlam0505]

i think i do too! he's amazing

[norampack]

I love you Rebecca.

[bjissmart]

she doesn't love you

[loveSc7]

his voice seems different.. hm

[elle1406]

I agree, it sounds a bit rawer, in my opinion. It still sounds good, but not as soft as the recorded one.

[Gaigerocks1990]

in the studio, they make his voice sound a little bit smoother when he goes through the system thats all still awsome tho :)

[elle1406]

Yeah, that's what I figured too.

He's got a great voice and I love his songs.

This one's got to be my fav. though.

[Gaigerocks1989]

ya its really good

[jopmeiztah]

"fett nice" as we say in sweden, very good.

[CamiAloha]

So GOOD! ;D

[eric915]

you know, i saw him live opening for guster almost 2 years ago, i got his album, and now im seeing him in videos singing... and he changed his voice. he changed the "accent" of his singing and i hate it! He sounds like he's saying Mountains and she Sheash... are they, what you persheeve, are they what you expect to shee... what the hell is that?

[squirtle313]

i think he uses those "sh" sounds instead of the hard "s" sound because when you record in the studio the "s" really stands out. so the "sh" is used to soften it

[shortbus90]

I've heard the same thing.

[drJredbeard]

Ever hear of developing your talent?...growing as a musician?...I would guess that if he catered his voice toward the whim of every "fan" out there, he probably wouldn't be the fantastic musician that he is today.

[sakuracinderella]

i love this song, it's gorgeous ^^

[h0olaman]

man you re soo right!!

[andrefsp]

He may look like a homeless but he is a awesome guy! =)

Love this song =)

[IvyxClash]

Like a homeless?

Please keep your "harmless" innocent remarks to yourself...

[andrefsp]

Man... I was joking and doing a compliment. Think first before act like a jurkhead

[drewk339]

damn, it would take some balls to play like that - all alone with no crowd reaction or anything.

matt costa is the balls.

[gitdembeans]

awesome.

matt costa is so sick.

[tmedesign]

reminds me somewhat of dust in the wind, no?

[DylanJeffery]

no your dumb. there just the same c maj to a minor chord progression.

[kLafied]

The picking pattern is the same.

[ammoman23]

This guy is awesome!

[YodaOz]

this song is very similar to "First Day of My Life" by Bright Eyes. I think Astair is harder to play though but if you can learn the bright eyes song first astair might be easier.

[Ewokfordeath]

Agreed

[lhmarsh10]

"and if you're leaving then come give me a reason why I let you down, before you turn around"

I love this song, but it kinda hurts, too.

[edgarkunz]

i imagine that once you learn the finger-picking pattern it can't be too hard.

[seeDerekNow]

This song is hard to play, lol.

[bubrox747]

i absolutely love this song x

[surfdude167]

songs we sing

[southafricanboy9]

[TeamEllis28]

[sasmith17]

[deiphobos123]
