i can honestly say this has been my favorite song from the day i first listened to it in 96 when it came out. it can even impact and relate to a 10 year old in hard times as i was. thank you rob and the whole matchbox crew.
i used to quitely whisper this song in my girls ear and it didnt do anything but get her so hot and wet that it had her about on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey in a bad time in rock when nothing else good was coming out after nirvana, stp, and bands like pearl jam these guys guys stood almost alone in talent in those three or four years.
everyone misses the 90's all the apprpriate age cartoons were still on...hell u cant even watch spongebob without finding a hidden penis on it nemore!!
i'm really surprised this song only have 400,000 views! love this song. this video to me represents rob looking into a world that is much different from his, which makes makes him feel like an outsider. the great thing about this video is that it represent how many people feel
Very poignant, both the lyrics and the melody. Nice instrumentation. Very touching song, that any of us who have ever been committed to the wrong person, or have felt that we were not the right one for the one we care about, can easily relate to. Beautiful.
What a great song and vid! There is an AWESOME BAND called CHASING BEAR that I just discovered (you can find them on Facebook, and in the search bar, when u press enter, they are the first ones down) they are great and sound SIMILAR to MATCHBOX 20! You guys should def check them out. Once u take a listen, LIKE this COMMENT! ENJOY! ☺ *Trust me, this new band is worth a listen ☺
during the time this song and video came out i was in new orleans for the mardi gras got drunk i drunk gin and juice and a six pack of zima great times great times lol
Rob Thomas is extremely underrated as a musician. Hes probably been the best songwriter in music since he started. He really knows how to make a great hook.
@carayverson my guess is if he was the best songwriter in music since he started... well, let's just save the analogy... he's not. That's quite a bold statement, with not much to back it up. Not saying he isn't talented... but... well... haven't to heard one of his songs in years.
@r00s7a Well you haven't to heard one of his songs in years because they dont get him on the radio. Most of the stuff on the radio is terrible. He has many quality songs with well written lyrics. And maybe hes not been the best since he started but I cant think of anyone else. Billboard called him the 5th best songwriter of the decade.
@r00s7a Key word there was "Probably" If you are that concerned about it, you go look it up, the rest of us will just keep enjoying this great music :)
@r00s7a I never said he was the best ever. I dont want to get into youtube wars they are too annoying. Bottom line I just think he could get more credit because he is a good songwriter. He could go mainstream but chooses to do his own thing and I respect it. And like MarnieB42 said, go look it up yourself.
For anyone who loves bands like Matchbox 20, Train, Lifehouse O.A.R., Dave Matthews Band etc and would like to see a return to music like we had in the 90s, please visit my band Red Dust Road at reddustroad doht com and you can download our 6 track EP for FREE. Click on our username on this post and you can hear our new single too. This isn't spam we just wanna be heard! While you're there please give us a 'like' on Facebook too - support new bands and decent, honest songwriting! Much love, RDR
If you hate these guys there's seriously something in your brain that just isn't clicking. Thanks Matchbox Twenty for making my childhood and its always a pleasure to come back <3.
@MrRobertEller I could not have said that any more perfectly..... Thank you Matchbox 20 for bringing me happiness in my childhood, thanks to you I had music that made me feel good
@normandale1987: You and me both! In fact, this song (and the album) remind me of when I left the college town I was living in after graduating from the university and took another job out in the big, bad world. End of the 90s and end of that era of my life. Bittersweet.
everytime I hear this tune it reminds me of an ex I had that fucked around at college. lyrics are spot on. now she packed on 30 and is married to some big redneck hunting dude so actually I laugh when I hear this song.
@jangofan1234 I've a question for you. Is there a flaw that you can find in Rob Thomas? I've tried, I still yet (after several years) have not been able to find a single malfunction of any sort. To me, he's perfection.
@ABWorsham4 Yourself or someone like you is by far my favorite album, ever ever. Every album on this song speaks too me. I have to say that this would rank #2. #1 would be Push. (For me.)
Excellent piece of work!! Thank you very much for Sharing!!!!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!!! Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!!!!
