Did anybody else hear his shaky breath at the beginning before the song started? it sounded like he was either freezing cold or really nervous xD anyway, love the song
I listen to this song every morning before school I grew up with my parents listening to them and once I got older and understood what I was singing I've become obssed with them and their music most kids around here dont even know who they are! It's a shame and I wish music like this was still around!!
always used to listen to this album with my older bro when i was a little kid and i always pictured the singer as the chubby guy on the cover...haha still love it
Its awesome that so many of you younger guys appreciate good music, refreshing. But damn stop making me feel old! Talking about your parents listening to matchbox 20..... Anyways it has been a long day....
i havent heard these guys n like forever. damn my mom used to play their music in the car when i was like a lot younger. now i 16 and found 3 or their cds. the ones my mom used to play and memories. need i say more
Haha wtf, these guys with all the gayed thumbs up are making me feel old, I'm 23 ffs. matchbox 20 was 90's but fuck..."may parents played songs when i was a kid?"
@wctwctwctwct Haha I'm 17 and have been in love with mb20 since,yeah when I was about 6 or 7. I used to sing their songs. haha. I love Rob, Mb20, and some tabitha's. :P. my favorite artist(s) :)
when i was younger this was one of my favorite songs. i still like it okay, but now I'm pretty sure it's about a guy who can't stop masturbating. That's right, look at the lyrics again and tell me I'm not right. Dude's girlfriend (or boyfriend) leaves, and now he can't stop jerking it. That's how I understand the story. Thomas' lyrics are all self-contained short stories.
I know it's going to sound kind of cliche by now, but I grew up on Matchbox Twenty. My dad introduced me to them, and I've listened them since like forever. Sometimes I feel like these guys are the only things that are constant in my life. Schools can change, friends come and go, but Matchbox Twenty is forever =)
My favourite song from them is 'Rest Stop', any of you Matchbox Twenty fans who haven't heard it have GOT to check it out. It's LEGEND =D
@MrStandupZ All of their songs are just amazing, i heard from them from my brother. Matchbox 20 are the single best songwriters and live performing band of all time.
Yeah, so true. I miss that kind of romantic rock nowadays, it barely exists anymore =(
Even their newest album is slightly out of their usual style, more pop than rock really... Still, Matchbox Twenty forever =D =D =D
Rob Thomas' solo stuff is pretty good too. And if you're into Matchbox Twenty's kind of music, I'd recommend you try listening to Rascal Flatts as well. They're AMAZING =D
I think Matchbox 20 are one of the best bands of all time! Because Rob Thomas can actually sing, hes not faking it like a lot of the popular music & their lyrics are amazing & true! Im not even an adult but I love themmmm :)
I just read some of these comments. I see the most of us fans, became a fan when we were little ;D this is great. I love the music of Matchbox 20. :-)
Remember hearing this when I was 16, now I am 29 and still sounds damn good, I'll be jamming to this song when I am 90 and in a nursing home crapping my pants.
I also grew up on Matchbox Twenty, and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are my favorite band. I love those songs, and I am only 16 years old. Today's songs can't compete, I'm sorry, but they can't.
i love matchbox 20 these guys and goo goo dolls, bryan adams, and tom petty & the heartbreakers is wat i grew up on......god how i wish i could be young again...not to worry about bills...gas prices...or wat kind of drama is going on in the world you kno?
Well...I'm in high school now and I wish that the music we have now would be as good as Matchbox 20. I can't really stand to listen to the radio right now. This stuff takes me back to when I was just a kid playing in the backyard.
@lissie2491 I remember growing up to this band, and Rob Thomas, I haven't heard it in so long until I realized that I could find it on youtube. I am happy now =D
I'm still a kid, but my parents always played Matchbox20 songs since I was born and I fell in love with them! Matchbox 20 is my favorite band! Their music speaks to you. I'm in the middle of a rough patch in my life (Arn't we all?) and only Rob Thomas' voice can help me survive! I miss the days where all you really had to worry about was the price of gas and what Bush was going to do next. Lord, I'd give up anythig to relive those days.
This reminds me of the Michael Jordan days when the bulls were good. Miss the mid to late 90's. I wish I was the age I am now and it was in that time frame.
I remember when this song first came out in high school, still sounds great today. Here's to 90's alt/modern rock, ahhh the memories. Good times, thanks for posting!
I love Matchbox 20! They just call to me, every time I listen to them it puts me in a better mood. Thank you very much for putting this song up! :) Have a Great Day! Gutentag!
