[bubblesxkapow]

the matches=ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER!!!!

[skejemer281]

49 people don't belong to this song.

[dudeitsanitaa]

when you belong to a song, salty eyes, You belong. :)

[skippinggirlvinegar]

still one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands of all time

I haven't watched the video in ages though, it's fucking awesome

[OWBYH]

hahaha 2:13 I think he drops it on his toes, cause he mouths FUCK or something of the like

[SuperNaturalYo]

How does this have double the views of their song Chain Me Free?

[RAplusemaggot]

notice at 0:44 the television says "sky is falling"

[Jpieka19]

i seen these guys when i was 14....im 19 now...time frikin flys.

[PaperSteps]

Love this song.love Shawns voice :)

[berriesANDcream95]

WTF! I love this song! :)

[greenops]

:30 guy falls

[Flippyrules01]

i love the way they use TVs in What Katie Said aswell :)

[heydenx]

good song

[pushbroom333]

Jawbreaker reference at 1:17?

[laurenificent]

God, I love this song. I recently downloaded it on my ipod, and it's already one of my most played songs. :3

[MrDomo182]

gay

[lynzzizle92]

This is my favorite song ever, and I didn't even know there was a video for it.

[shawnhisdead]

Still Matt Whalen xDDD

[porkys54321]

was he supposed to slip and fall?

[cheyenneroks]

actuallt it didnt take long + it couldnt because they only got enough tvs to shoot one time so they had to do their best pretty much :]

they practiced with boxes and they actually played the song fast when they where throwing them for the vid so they didnt take long to make this at all

[ThePatrickster]

I just love how they've channeled in Bob Dylans videological taste into this fabulous film clip. Hail The Matches, you guys are kings!

[TheDukeOfEd99]

ouch at 2:14

[BritishRulez]

@TheDukeOfEd99 oh, thank you for writing back! you guys did an incredible job with this vid! . It must have taken you ages to shoot this, though:)

[BritishRulez]

@TheDukeOfEd99 sorry I meant to post this to someone else!

[waitingfor2008]

00:30 2 Buck Chuck reference ftw.

[mrwasabi4u]

i love this video

and this song

[soulrebelmusic4ever]

pretty much a modern version of the bob dylan video....not as original as it COULD be. it's okay though

[trev59ryan]

this song isnt that good and the video is pretty lame dont mean to get any fans angered but thats just my opinion

[ChloeCuriouser]

I wonder how long it took to make this video. o_o

[Darkplagueangel]

hahah i remember when i was 16 i seen them before they even got big i think its funny

[alcyone88]

wheres mp3?

[PHWNT]

Apperently they actually were real Tv's. They just were gathering them up saying it was for some promotional thing for a organization and ran.

[EeltreeRecords]

There could have been a 'green screen' placed behind each glass screen, and then the words placed in later, that would keep the realistic glare and reflection on the glass (maybe), that way they could have been tossing broken TVs so price wouldn't matter as much. Great video, I really like this band.

[destroyer793]

No, this was filmed in one go exactly like this. I'm not sure how they did it, but there's a 'making of' video that's also on Epitaph's youtube page.

[xxxKnickers]

@ragingtears007

omg.... 0_0

okay, seriously, the next question on my mind is who the hell bought all of that now.

[ragingtears007]

:)

there all the obsolete tvs donated from tv nerds who need HD

X3

[BritishRulez]

coolest vid ever. I wonder who directed this :o

[colemanfilm]

@BritishRulez It was directed by myself (Michael Coleman) Shaw Harris, Miles Hurwitz, and Emilee Seymour

[BritishRulez]

@colemanfilm oh, thank you for writing back! you guys did an incredible job with this vid! . It must have taken you ages to shoot this, though:) vor 1 s

[xxxKnickers]

lol 2:14 :)

alright....one question is on my mind as I watch this: how much money did this video cost? 0_0 thats a lotta tvs :P

[ragingtears007]

@xxxKnickers you also have to think about if they messed up thats even a whole lot more tvs XD

[twilitefangit67]

Love this video! poor people only had a little time to do it though...

[DiscoInferno11]

0:33 fail. xD

[bluespringwater]

"Why is the camera following me...? I ... there's nothing even on my TV. Maybe if I stop... No, it's still following me... weird."

[zavalael]

This is my favorite song in the world! Another song I am LOVING? Her words destroyed my planet! XD

[tylerrheron]

Shawn Harris, the singer, does a cool cameo in Forgive Durden: Razia's Shadow

[jonniedresden]

Best. Album. Ever.

[xxxdaaainaxxx]

just discover this band, it rules!!

[theweezeagain]

I need advice. This particular band asked me to try out for rhythm guitar and back up vocals. But they live about an hour away and want me to commit full time, and possibly tour right away. I have a job and a kid, and gas is expensive. What do I do!!!?

[significantjoe]

What do you have to lose?

[theweezeagain]

As it turns out, I replied to their email way too late. They already found someone and because of my situation, Jon said it prolly wouldn't work out. But he liked the sample of my own music I showed him and he encouraged me to keep rockin. That's a HUGE stroke to my ego.

[MadHatterVids]

haha- keep rocking dude! :D

[bryanlee13]

@theweezeagain Hi. THEY BROKE UP.

So thanks for lying[:

Theyve all gone their separate ways.

[theweezeagain]

They sure did break up. That's why they were looking for a new member. The new project (consisting of Jon and I don't know what other members) is called Bird by Bird. They will be playing in Los Gatos on Feb.18. We're bothe from the SF bay area. The email I received was from Jon Devoto, and all he said is that Bird by Bird is ex-The Matches. He advertised the position on Oakland's craigslist page. So fuck you, you're just jealous, you piece of shit. Now ask me to prove it. Ass.

[theweezeagain]

both*

[IthinkIneedAhug]

I love how it's such a nice sounding song, and thier just like "whatever *tosses tv*"

^-^ Makes me happy <3333

[k3bab92]

You should go search for the meaning of the lyrics... every line has a meaning, it's beautiful and so deep

[littlerayray77]

These guys were incredible in concert! I was up front. nice nice nice!

[inamtab]

wat does it say that he paints on that one tv?

[PhiltehPirateKing]

He paints "However Naive" over the tv

[inamtab]

ohhh! i see

thank you

[DEEONETHIRTYSIXZERO]

cheer's me up everyytime :( :)

[cheyenneroks]

[DEEONETHIRTYSIXZERO]

[cheyenneroks]

[moviecrashers]

my favorite song by them. such a creative music video. do you belong to a song?

[fatboys100]

2:14 the guitarist i think that is is hella about to say aww fuck

[itskevinp]

Yea he does. He dropped the TV on his foot.

[leiraleira11]

Sweet. They were going for a modern version of one of Bob Dylan's music videos right? Neat.

[jerseysguitar123]

when i saw these guys live at the stone pony, i asked the lead singer to throw me his pick..he did but i didnt catch it, he said sorry, the girl next to me did...So i paid a dollar... and a year later im playing and standing exactly where they were standing at the stone pony... its such an amazing feeling.

[bassguitarfreak4]

that's so awesome :]

[SuperNaturalYo]

@jerseysguitar123 Really what band you play with?

[19Biohazard88]

I wonder if they also make environment songs :S

*Crash* another tv with toxic chemicals

[Kikion07]

Actually, the guy with the computer that says "salty eyes" never dropped it because he was afraid of the gas.

[19Biohazard88]

you serious?

[Kikion07]

ya. He was really scared he was going to die.

[pinkbubs111]

argh, i could have all those tvs!!

[UltimateNinjaPirate]

Its hilarious how Matt is just wandering around with that one tv the whole time XD

[soimjackie337]

that was incredible!

[TheDukeOfEd99]

ouch at 2:14

[BlackTeddies]

nICE video .

must be fun to drop t.v.s

[childrenofthegrave1]

best one take music video ever, not those faggots in treadmills

[l30babyy723]

this song is amazing! and they were awesome at the fillmore.

[singforlove]

hell yea they were!!

[TheSaraBelle]

whenever I hear the end of the song, I'm so tempted to start shouting "DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE DRA-DRA DRIVE DRIVE DRIVE SEX DRIVE".

damn physical cds.

[duck97]

hahahaha, I know what you mean =P

[skisail]

huh?

[skisail]

huh?

[freshXrr]

fillmore show on SUNDAY. these guys are fantastic beyond explanation. <3

[LeezeArray]

Aww, great video and song!

[ThermodynamicMiracle]

I've seen them four times live, and everytime I've seen them, I got totally star struck around Shawn, that I never got to meet him. :( And now they're on their hiatus. God, I suck.

[ninjabanana29]

this music viseo is brilliant

[rush77100]

this is a really sick video

[protonmonkey]

I love the strings in this song! The lyrics are full of awesome imagery too.

[FFocusFilms]

This band is sick, I love the lyrics.

[Acb4311]

R.I.P

[qwertzuah]

they are gone...

[demonsneverfall]

ahah good song but 2:12-2:16 is funny he drops the tv on his foot XD

[GruvisMutt]

I love how you can see Justin mouthing "AWW F-".

Amazing.

[wtrchvc1254545]

@demonsneverfall i now lmao

[LordLegless]

I can't believe they went on "indefinite hiatus" before I got a chance to see them. They're my favorite band ever.

[JessicaIsNowhere]

omg plz no hiatus

[babydontblush]

The expression of matt in 1:43 is priceless haha :)

[edwindotjpg]

Love this song! at 2:12 when he drops the TV on his foot, he's like OH F**K

[freshXrr]

god, i LOVE this. their music is so amazing.. it gives me a crazy feeling i can't really put into words. i love them all for making this fucking great music for all of us. oh, and this video must have been pretty fun to make. (: xoxox <33

[rocio790]

i love his voice and all their songs!

[Iishieboo]

I love The Matches. They rock like crazy and have a lot of talent but aren't crazy main-stream sellouts. <3 I love them! <3

[ZarahKiddo]

he falls over ahahaha

[alphaguitar2]

this songs fucking awesome noob.

[kevinvancreij21]

Hahaha he gets the telly on his foot at 2:12 !

[BLONDESPrfrGENTLEMEN]

Can't get enough of this. This is WHY we are separate from the beasts, that we have such ART inside us. Kudos is just not enough. 5 stars over and over. Love it.

[DigestedChild]

the matches are really the coolest and down to earth band i know. at warped 2 years ago they did a signing at their tent, but they didnt stand behind it like all other bands, they went out and walked up to people, and they were out there for like 2 hours giving autographs and talking to fans. they even threw all the leftover picks into the crowd after the show and i got justins, and he signed it at their tent. they are really one of the coolest bands out there

[zopert4]

i remember about 9 or 10 years ago, when the matches pretty much just played around sf bay area... i went to every show they played one summer; they wouldn't end a show without walking into the audience and doing a few acoustic songs among the crowd... i've always been impressed with how far they've come since the first time i saw them opening for my friend's band at a church! haha!

[lifeinthecool]

if you are so tvsss give your tv don't broke it

[shineinblu]

nice concept.

[zanermine]

This had to have been a pain in the ass to choreograph. It's such a great video, though. :)

[tfbl20]

Haha they took this video from the song "subterranean homesick blues" by bob dylan

[imsearching4it]

haha, probably. There were some points where you had so little time to read what was on the screen. But the concept was very cool

[travillion7]

i loved it... reminds me of the guy that introduced me to the matches... and he broke my tender heart. i could barely listen to this, in fear that i'd feel too much.

but, i loved it. funny how we move on and find things that we can smile about again. like this video. it's gonna be playing back to back. :D

[davidtennantcrazy2]

Oh and I love that at 1:46 he's trying to move away from the camera XD

[davidtennantcrazy2]

I love this song, they're such a good band. I love that he falls at 0:34 XD

[heliopolis07]

what is this ?? a really expensive video clip??

TEEVEES MAN. what a waste :|

lol, only kidding, dw.

this song sounds aweomse.

and the clip just scares me because there is a recession and poverty and etc.

[anotherxline]

They actually asked people in their area (and fans) to donate old television sets that were no longer being used.

This video is actually pretty low budget if you consider that.

[anotherxline]

It's just a lot of work to choreograph and stuff.

They did an amazing job, though.

[sydney327]

2:14 he drops the tv on his foot!

[AprilSixth]

Haha...I didn't notice that the first time. That's so funny. Dude, my band (April Sixth) used to play shows with these guys. They're crazy on stage.

[sydney327]

Somehow it sounds like a drinking song, anyone else hear it?

[hahahahaahaa]

this song gives me salty eyes :(

[AshLovesApples]

I love this song :) It's wonderful

[xiwadexi]

yo this song is legitamately my get up song! lol

whenever i feel worthless and want to sink down to ugly things i just listen to this song. and every time i get reminded; "it's always darkest before dawn, so never give up" :p

[TrikkBorgnine]

I like how this song references "Dog-Eared Page" with the line, "Friends in quotes, they're not calling." =)

[Musiclover6803]

haha :33 epic fall

i <3 the matches!

[RougeTroop]

is it just me or does this song make you want to cry?

[gaarasgirl2009]

this vid is based off one by bob dylan...subterainian homesick blue...they even give it credit with that t.v. that says clean nose...:)

[patrickkcore]

kocham tom piosenka !!

[WeLikeTheMoon62]

this is honestly one of the coolest videos ive ever seen

[1RandomOne]

I have this weird fascination with the lead singer.

ha ha

[PhatsMahoney]

well thats because Shawn is awesome

[WhereRu2day]

i met him a t warped tour in 2007 or something.... he smelled good

[twilight335]

this song is awsome even though it doesnt make since

grim violin? corpes left quiet?

[Sanioz]

Corpses left quiet definitely makes sense, twilight335..

[ETFcrashandburn]

it makes perfect sense:

Then from the silence

a violence of sirens (ablulances)

orchastrate the score, to which one more corpse is left quiet (death)

ANALYZE, kiddo.

[stfuxchristy]

this has to be the best video

I've seen in ages. scratch that.

the best video I've seen EVER.

<3333

I love them.

and their videos.

and one day I WILL marry

Shawn and Jon and have

27 of their children :DD

[Dojden]

less then three

[Goldfish0xo]

it's actually "than"

not "then"

[Dojden]

The point is to typ wrong. go search for "arby and ch33f" : )

[SpatulleMagique]

Simply awesome! Love that song!

[shianna4118]

This is such a beautiful song <3

And its a funnny music vid :)

[xdeonnax]

2:15 -FUCK! HAHA. hurtful but halarious

[NikkiTwisty]

Does anyone kno how they put the text on the tv's??

[videogameheart]

... a sharpie.

[logicalfall]

I believe they had video tapes that had images of the words playing on a loop.

[nateskateboards]

yeah, they all are attached to vcrs or have built in vcrs, so they record the text and carry the tvs and vcrs which probably had a solid 20 minutes of just that word recorded on it, yeah the kid on the bottom basically got it right

[oathlivion]

That was a pretty big tv that he dropped on his foot too. Must have hurt a lot.

[devilzreality93]

this video deserves more views!

[miglegtr]

around 2:15 he actually drops it on his toe

[XxTylerxGuitaristxX]

haha that was funny cuz he was like "fuck!"

[miglegtr]

it was a huge tv! even small ones hurt like hell i feel sorry for him

[MusicAddict1994]

U saw his face like 'fuck' and then he run to get the next tv ='] But that must have hurted like hell!

[PsychoticDreams0]

hurted?

[bluemangopix]

AWSOME

this song makes me want to take tvs and throw 'em around for fun

=]

[xObsidianRoses]

Haha. I love how one of them trips and another drops a TV on his toe and mouths "F*CK".

[tiredalarmclock]

No retakes for this video. =D

[lauraxoloo]

Really? Thats really cool.

Thats probably what makes this video so interesting. All the little things that makes it seem real.

I swear I've watched it 20 times the past week.

[leumragon]

when you belong to a song dose it drag you along by the tunge at the top of your longs

[leumragon]

i love this song

[sevenfoldgates]

aw man, no matter how many times i watch this, it never gets old ^__^

[bltblt123]

my cousin were friends with them before they were popular

[Patchtastic]

This is the best of all their music videos

[theinhtun1]

this song reminds me of a disney song

[theinhtun1]

these guys are good,

why are crap bands like tokio hotel and jonas brothers more famous then these guys

[wowlookiehere666]

Who ,besides me, owns the matches first CD???? Or Their last? Great Band!!!!!!!!

[BookofMormonReader]

Whoa! I would have loved to be in the collaboration meeting to come up with this idea...."Well, I've been to a lot of thrift stores lately and picked up these hundreds of old tv sets, I just KNOW there is something we can do with them.....I GOT IT!" I love art. Love it. Kudos.

[xannaojx]

gawd. this is video is unique. :))

[BleachOnepieceNaruto]

the matches make me happy
