The Word of Your Body (Sheik/Sater)

[amansviri]

You're a beautiful person, Matthew, with an amazing talent for music. I can't wait till you post more videos--covers, original songs, anything.

[gwren611]

You're overdramatic, awkward, and just plain stupid. You're singing the song out of context. This song was supposed to be comic relief after Moritz's death and you just made it look stupid.

[JennaGwenna]

i just performed this musical in concert. this is one of my favorite songs, and you perform it amazing!! your voice is great.

[siennamendez]

Wow.. that was actually really amazing. Better than Johnny B. Wright in my opinion. Wow..

[kevlev]

i love you

[kevlev]

hot. you are beautiful.

[43wa713]

WOW!!! Very Talented, Beautiful, Creative & Artistic & I have no more words to express How impressed & Stunned I am by your performance & the works... Ps, I love ur Eyes too ;} WOW WOW WOW!!! Fifty Million out of Ten ;)

[mysticmagic4760]

Beautiful video!

[Nyderamyth]

you are amazing. 

[wilcabral]

Hi! I'm Brazilian and after seeing the Brazilian production of Spring Awakening, I came to youtube looking for the original songs. When I found your video, I thought it was a cover done by a professional singer, in a studio, and was amazed to read you did this in your room! It was deeply moving and hauntingly beautiful. Thank you!

[sohuamaye]

haunting its beauty...you have a wonderful voice and it is a deeply moving song from an equally moving musical

[chaderic365]

loves it!

[geneimperfect]

Your interpretation is beautiful. Somehow your voice works well with the song.

[SnailyGuyFilms]

Other than the korny "Oh" *dramatically look to the side* Perty good! well done

[clarkemate]

wow!! what a cool video. very true to the lyrics. nice musical composition too... and by ear no less. impressive!

[hemmet220]

I love SA!

[ballsackonrshoulder]

you're great.

[umlaut55]

im so impressed. please tell me your studying performing arts.

[SimplySam23]

This is so beautiful.

Does anyone know where I can find just the instrumental version of this song?

[gabidoo217]

the lighting from 2:00 to 2:32 is spectacular.

it captures the essence of the show so well.

[jakeman717]

this was beautiful. i find myself singing this all day at school.

[frannyglass999]

i love your voice and this song is perfect for you! not quite sure about the video.......i have seen spring awakening, loved it, and understand how your interpretation fits with this song......perhaps just a tad too artsy fartsy for my taste

[jellyrollnorton]

Wow. Two years after I first saw you do this, and it still works. Very good indeed.

[siiingitloud]

your voice fits this song perfectly.

[JesGerLuc]

OK so first ive saw your samson video, then the video on how to play it, then i cam accross this... dude. you are awesome

[tashikitten]

That was beautiful. Thank you.

[SoralovesKarixxx]

WOW! this is AMAZING!

[Feathersandploom]

this is going straight to my favorites!

[MissKristin3088]

That was amazing. I love Spring Awakening and I think you captured the feeling put forth in that song very well. Whoever that is down there who said it was creepy obviously has no clue what Spring Awakening is all about.

[kristen1999]

WOW

[doward88]

you meant it like this, right? soo funny. slower transitions would have worked better if you were going for serious Spring awakening cover though.

[actshorty]

oh my god, you are so talented!

amazing voiceeeeeeee, and the fact the you pieced the did the music by ear - NICE!

[lottabubbles725]

I'm thinking that you were thinking of that certain someone when you took all those clothes off. But since this is music, and it's all relative, well, I can imagine that you did it all thinking about moi. LOL

Thanks for all your hard work, we love it!

[lifeinacndyswrl]

Love Spring Awakening! Great singing here!

[edgarcaetano]

wtf

[springsister242]

i might be scarred for life.

[kNARR0079]

you have a great voice.

but this video is creepy.

sorry.

[woof3x]

what's so "creepy" about it? it is rather poetic.

[kNARR0079]

it wouldn't be so creepy if you weren't undressing yourself. otherwise, it's good.

[woof3x]

who is "you"?

[kNARR0079]

i meant matthewlukesandoval - the creator of this video.

[elphbwckd]

well I think he was trying to capture the meaning of the song as it is in the show so it really makes sense that he is undressing himself if you know anything about this show... I thought it was the PERFECT interpretation of this song and show! brilliantly done!

[depolarized]

what the hell

him stripping is what makes the video good silly person.

:>

[jzipster]

That was the strangest video I have ever seen in my entire life.

[SaphxYuuki]

I think I did all of this for someone, but I'm kind of afraid to say who.

^ I like that part.

You are amazing.

[fmagirly]

wohh hunny no need to get naked. but overall very nice.

[livchel]

WOW this is quite random! You have a lovely voice though.

[vivobre]

not only are you gorgeous and tremendously creative, but you have a beautiful voice.

[hpallinone7210]

wow. that was cool- i loved the cinematography on this one

[urallmine]

this is breathtaking

[robotmichelle]

you are so beautiful.

[woudijd]

I just saw it. It a great work

[mcfit707]

The final harmony in Word of Your Body Reprise is my favorite moment of the show, and you did it perfectly.

[okislashdoki]

um you are all weird this was creepy i love this song though i must say the SA version was much more attractive. I like your piano stuff though....

[woof3x]

YOU are the creep, you creepster.

[woof3x]

don't thumb me down! i wasn't talking about matthew luke! his interpretation is utterly poetic, as i said below.  some one called it creep, so i called THAT PERSON a creepster, not mls. thumb me UP UP UP!

[washu2002]

wow. i need a cigarette.

[willtom27]

I've watched this several times now. Just perfectly done. It has its own style & integrity....this is freaking ART coming at us here on youtube. Damn. I always come back to this song & YOUR version.

[MarieC4username]

This is really incredible, it was so effective and beautiful!

[RobbyLovesAriHest]

<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3 I love this! Still! For months! <3<3<3<3<3<3

[toastandbutter]

i love love this song.

[maitecm]

Please, somebody must produce this talented, sensual and creative boy. I love your preformances. I am waiting anxious for the next. Thanks a lot for your art.

[twagz07]

You are beautiful. Thank you for doing what you do. Keep playing and posting videos like this...Please! I wait for what you do next.

[StoliDassah]

That was absolutely amazing and beautiful. A wonderful rendition of the song and an emotional, moving depiction of the lyrics.

[freakydork65]

wow, this was really good. I can't believe you put the whole orchestration together like that by ear. kudos man, you're awesome. :]

[Snahp]

this was breath takingly beautiful. If the person who this was meant for sees this then I doubt they wont feel the same.. =]

[renethel]

wow! you've got this great sensual, breathy voice! i like it! and i love how you edited it this video! pure genius! i love spring awakening! great job!

[RobbyLovesAriHest]

Yay for macs, but wow-- you have a great voice. I'm really loving this! You did such a great job. Kudos!

[craigdo1982]

Nice work! I was involved with an Aussie adaptation of "Spring Awakening" a few years back. Its a great play. You're clip is awesome! (Oh and you singing is great too lol)

[xyxaxsoon]

nice work

[scream261]

awesome job. very well put together ;-) i'm a big fan of the show also...and i love your rendition of the song

[marisolchow]

wow-----nice!

[ncjtp3003]

gan you put this on your myspace page as a mp3? PLEASE.

[ncjtp3003]

ooohh!

[philajockboi]

stunning. hope that you're no longer afraid to tell that person.  wish it was me!

[AnitaClaireMiller]

I love your this one.Not my favorite but still one of my favorites. But the video, let me tell you something... It is so incredibly beautiful. Very powerfull.

[calico6]

i have to tell

you this is pretty genius

how you meshed both songs togeather

and showing how the song

strips the the characters emotionaly

by physicaly stripping yourself

was very incitfull

"good work"

[minorchord03]

This is amazing!!!

[pollyhudson]

beautiful. utterly stunning. thankyou. it's wonderful.

have a look at one of the ones on my page.... a similar thing coincidentally, i sent it to someone as a love letter.

[LightsCameraCorrie]

This is currently my favorite musical. You need to audition for it.

[candidlyanthony]

Amazing. As always your voice rocks. The video is AWESOME! So artistic. Good job on the lighting.

[ANTHONYRAPPISAGOD]

[smaartoo]

[therosebride]

You have a great voice and the song is beautiful

[Jeannette311]

It's beautiful!

[Unspeakably]

it just wants me to absorb all of you.

thanks, i feel better now. :)

[hellomigi]

your production talent is right up there with your singing/performing. Wow! This hit a homerun.

Keep it up.

[TompkinsSquareDogRun]

Absolutely genius. Even the dogs like it.

[DIABLILLA80]

muy hermoso

[CCarmen]

Ok, marry me already!

As if the Tori covers weren't already good enough...now there's Spring Awakening too! if you cover anything from RENT, I'll have to go get you! Keep up the good work - C

[rubester668]

you are amazing!! true story!!

[MDarling1971]

I love it! And I love all the stuff you do. Always look forward to seeing you new stuff.

[balistorm]

i saw the show last sunday, and i absolutely love this song.

whoever you did this for is very lucky. maybe you ought to let him know how you feel. just a suggestion.

[froidski]

i love it. strong visuals. i love duncan sheik too and this is as close to the real one. it was well worth my 3 minutes!

[BeautifulCaius]

That was well done, and it's killing me to know who you did it for, like some else said, "It's beautiful. I would be speechless if someone did that for me." - jasonlovesyoga

[BeautifulCaius]

That was well done, and it's killing me to know who you did it for, like some else said, "It's beautiful. I would be speechless if someone did that for me." - jasonlovesyoga

[picklelicker2]

Hey, beautifully done. I also have the soundtrack, it is very powerful.

[AnitaClaireMiller]

Sorry... grammar mistake

* They are not just telling you that because ...

[AnitaClaireMiller]

oh and by the way, believe me that when people say you are tallented and stuff, they are not only telling you that just because you look good and stuff. You are really good.

[AnitaClaireMiller]

I really agrre with Pikatso.

Matthew you are great. :)

[xhavenfunx]

Wow! *speechless* you are full of talent

[slacker05]

I have no patience, more please. You can sing the ABC's while we wait.

[truebeliever101]

Wow that was beautiful! It was so well done. There is so much creativity to it, and the movements, wow. That really was amazing.

[Pikatso]

Am stunned by the artistic beauty of your soul, which you so seductively reveal to us through your immense talent and creative vision here. So ethereal. So intimate. You have truly bared your soul to us, and I, for one, am humbled by the privilege to share in the depth of intimacy you exude.

[iainthehills]

Your art is so beautiful and moving - it makes my day every time I see and hear you perform!

Thank you!

[ellhorn]

I suggest you get an mbira. It is an AWESOME instrument, that uses metal rods to create an out of this world sound. I like the ones without the metal beads.

[matthewlukesandoval]

is that what imogen heap plays during her live shows?

[slacker05]

tell me more about you.

[jasonlovesyoga]

You should tell whomever you made the video for that it's for them. It's beautiful.  I would be speechless if someone did that for me.

[satanist666]

your very good at this

lol

idk

i hate to say it but it looked a bit ummm

yeah gay

(i don't mean to be an ass)

but it was a very good performance and your singing is rather impressive

[MHNY91]

Wow, that was really very good. Please audition.

[doubled7]

I can see why this song affected you so deeply. It is incredibly powerful. It is stuck in my head now too! Thanks - I mean it in every sense. I might also add that I prefer your version to the bit I've seen of the original. It changes the meaning and depth of the song when there is only one person singing it.

[cdwadams]

You are so raw. Please tell me you are auditioning.

[patrickl16]

this song, and your production of it (especially when the vocal overdubs come in), reminds me of early genesis. and that's a huge compliment from me. have you ever thought of covering 'carpet crawlers' (from the brilliant 'lamb lies down on broadway')?

patrick in ny, who falls a little more in love, with each video...

[derrickcrash]

wow... i saw the show and it was great... but, who are you?

[matthewlukesandoval]

i don't have any relation to the writers or the show.

after seeing the show over the holidays, this song was stuck in my head so i started sequencing it to help me understand a bit more about how the song was structured musically. all of the time spent listening to and thinking about the song (combined with some rather tumultuous personal events) brought about the video.

obviously, my visual/aural interpretation of the song doesn't have anything directly to do with the Broadway production.

[dormantmouse]

i adore spring awakening - the story is rad. I was in a production of the Wedekind one in Drama School. Thankyou for your storytelling.

[Earthnight]

by far one of your best vocal performances I have seen... and I've seen them all. I am now in love with this song, the lyrics are so powerful and beautifully written; that, along with the enchanting melody and you amazing voice makes it a video everyone should watch.

[doubled7]

Wow! Very raw, very sexual, very powerful. Love it! Keep it coming!

[eig28]

** Impressive !

[radlikemad]

who who!?

[omgarubber]

I'm not very familiar with Duncan Sheik or the musical but now I'm very interested.lol That was very artsy and very original. Keep it up!

[jackie86]

this is great, i love it.

[luciafrnnds]

really amazing... like photos showing the words you can't sing...

[yeledyeled18]

wow.

amazing.

[espiralhomecinema]

you're working hard, man!! y eres valiente!!

[slacker05]

i like everything that you do. very different from the usual..but nice and your talent is always endless. Whomever this is for..lucky them.

[revenant85]

i think you may have reached a new level of greatness!!!

great video, man. very artsy, hahaha.
