  • I adore this !HE is so AMAZING!

  • Stop comparing Mat with all of these others artists. Yes he has some similarities but he is the one and only Mathew William Kearney!

  • @cockykid1234 hey yo, I'm just saying Mat looks like Chris Martin. But YES HE'S FAR MORE BETTER than the crappy artists nowadays. And cockykid1234, even though I'm more of a 70s/80s/90s and early 00s (2000-2003) music lover and I despise today's music, Mat Kearney is a DECENT artist nowadays, and he doesn't use autotune. REPLY BACK.

  • @kimv020887 He is much more better. I like some of the 90's music but why do you resent today's music so much? Well I know that answer already but I want to hear what you'll say.

  • @cockykid1234 Well I just don't like today's music, the main reason I resent today's music is because of autotune and other crappy stuff. I just like OLD SCHOOL MUSIC of all genres from 70s/80s/90s and early 00s (2000-2003). But there is INDIE music, where REAL MUSIC lives there. REPLY BACK.

  • @kimv020887 Oh. I understand what you mean. Most of the current music now is altered and screwed with so much it's impossible to even tell what gender is singing. I like the old music too, but some of the now is also in my favor.

  • @cockykid1234 well, the main reason I started listening to OLD SCHOOL MUSIC its because when I was played both GTA San Andreas and Vice City and some of the old school tunes are there, and that made me realize that music sucks now. But let me put it this way: Rapper Ice-T said that INDIE music is also around to provide real music. BTW, when you said music now is in your favor, are you referring to INDIE music?

  • @kimv020887 I'm referring to indie, pop, and rock. 

  • @cockykid1234 okay. Even though I'm more of an OLD SCHOOL MUSIC lover, the indie bands I know are Arch Enemy, Naildown, The Minders, etc.

  • @kimv020887 Wow. I've never heard of any of these bands. I was born in 95 lol. I would know anything classic past the 89 lol.

  • @cockykid1234 they're INDIE bands. Since I like 70s, 80s, 90s and early 2000s (2000-2003) music, my fave bands are Deep Purple, Queen, Metallica, Megadeth, Def Leppard, the original Guns N Roses, Pantera, Ed Kowalczyk era Live, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Rage Against The Macghine, Soundgarden, KISS, Ted Nugent and Nirvana. Do you like the bands I mentioned?

  • @kimv020887 I know Queen, Metallica, Guns & Roses, Alice in Chains, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, and KISS. I Haven't listened to almost any of their songs, but I know the exist lol. I listened to Nirvana- Lithium once.. It was okay. I have a friend who really has a obsession with old bands like Led Zeppelin. I guess my fascination with the old bands aren't even at average. Maybe it's because I started listening to mainstream a couple of years ago. So I wouldn't even know half of the older bands then.

  • @cockykid1234 hey you know AC/DC and their song "Highway To Hell"?

  • @kimv020887 Yes, I do! That song is a bit catchy. What year were you born? (If you don't mind saying)

  • @cockykid1234 I was born on February 8, 1987. I just like listening to OLD SCHOOL MUSIC from the 70s/80s/90s and early 00s (2000-2003). I just don't like the music now. What year you were born, cockykid1234?

  • @kimv020887 I had a strong feeling you'd be much older than me lol. I was born in 1995.

  • @cockykid1234 you're 16 and you're turning 17 this year, right? I'm turning 25 this year.

  • @kimv020887 Yes, you're correct. You aren't that far from me. Lol. <_<

  • @cockykid1234 you're so funny, LOL.

  • @kimv020887 Thank you. So will you ever give modern music a chance?

  • @cockykid1234 we have our different tastes, dude. I like OLD SCHOOL MUSIC and you like today's music, right? Of course I will give modern music a chance even though I hate today's music. I just like OLD SCHOOL MUSIC from the 70s/80s/90s and early 2000s (2000-2003), dude. But there's INDIE MUSIC like I said. thanks.

  • @kimv020887 Today's music for me is just "okay." They're some artists and bands like Mat Kearney who I love. 85% of the artists I like make music that are just catchy, nice, or great Then there are the 15% that I love, embrace, and value, like The Fray.

  • @cockykid1234 I heard of The Fray and their song How To Save A Life, but just like I said, I only like OLD SCHOOL MUSIC.

  • It is Chris Martin ?

  • @marimek1992 no this is Mat Kearney. Yes Mat Kearney had similarities with Chris Martin from Coldplay, just look closely, marimek1992. REPLY BACK.

  • Mat Kearney: the Eric Clapton of this generation. Anyone agree?

  • 1 year....and I've made it. To a better place. A better place for my heart.

  • Mat Kearney is a REAL singer with REAL voice, he doesn't use autotune. Mat Kearney is TALENTED. Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift should take notes from a guy like Mat Kearney, who is more TALENTED nowadays. Anyone agree?

  • @kimv020887 I love Taylor Swift, and I adore this man. :)

  • @am15101989 well i have to agree, even though I don't listen to music of today (which I hate), Mat and Taylor should do a duet.

  • @kimv020887 what a fabulous idea! BTW, I am the same - I generally hate the music of today. And I am 22! :P

  • @am15101989 thanks man, I appreciate it, I'm 24 and I was born in '87 and I grew up listening to 70s/80s/90s and early 2000s (2000-2003) music. I just hate music now. Music from back then IMHO is better than today's music. You're born in '89 right? Thanks again. BTW subscribe to my channel, it has some old school music ranging from SWV to Todd Rungdren, Simply Red and Pearl Jam!!!

  • @kimv020887 Yep, '89, yet somehow acquired different taste in music than most of my peers!! :P

    I shall subscribe! Ty!

  • @am15101989 Well I like old school music than the crap they call "music" today. I like 70s/80s/90s and 2000-2003 (Early 2000s) music. What do you think of my channel? And What do you mean when you said different music taste than my peers?

  • @kimv020887 Hey man, what''s going and happy holidays. =D hope you day was great and I'm ready for a winter break.

  • @SuperFlashDriver happy holidays too, by the way I still HATE today's music.

  • @kimv020887 Agreed. Crappy artists can't do what the past did.

  • @SuperFlashDriver DAMN RIGHT, Artists Nowadays are NOTHING compared to the old school legends. i agree with that. REPLY BACK.

  • @kimv020887 The old schools legends like Madness, John Perr, Micheal Jackson, and lots more.

  • @SuperFlashDriver hey don't forget Madonna, George Michael, Nirvana, Megadeth, The Police, INXS, KISS, Led Zeppelin, U2, etc. By the way, who is John Perr? REPLY BACK.

  • @kimv020887 John Perr was the artist of his own song "St. Elmo's Fire (aka Man In Motion). The title then became a film of the same name in 1985.

  • @SuperFlashDriver yeah starring Demi Moore and Charlie Sheen's brother Emilio Estevez.

  • wow what a good song with a good message.. I wish i had his voice lol

  • A great song with a message of hope....hope found in Jesus.

  • Love the Sincerity of his music, sounds great live.

  • Beautiful video! Such a great voice :)

  • i love sinngin to this :)

  • GREAT, I love this!!!

  • amazing..

  • Maybe I can find myself someone to play the guitar for me one day.... like Mat does. I'm still hopeful. :) Such a beautiful song.

  • Really beautiful. <3

  • chris martin!

  • dude where did he get that brown shirt at?!

  • "Crying in her room, Praying lord come through" That's me :(

  • didn't believe it could happen to me -3

  • <3

  • wow... chris martin who?

  • My fav!!!

  • His voice....just so epic....damn <3 This song is so beautiful.

  • His voice....just so epic....damn <3 T

  • One of my all time favorite songs. Love love love!

  • Sing it Matt.. Play It Matt... <3 love it!!

  • Just by looking at the video - its a C chord Matt is playing. you will need to tune your guitar to eb, Bb, Gb, Db, Ab, Eb. (Half step down) if you want to sound like this tho.

  • Gerald, Thanks, will discuss this later, on the way to the dentist. However, I play it starting off with a G. Will explain later.

  • This video rocks. Two questions, does anyone know the model number of this Martin acoustic. Also what is AUTOTUNE? Also, G is obviously the first chord, can't figure out the second.

    

  • @biscotti54

    first chord isn't G its C then C/B

  • AWESOME!!!!! MAT KEARNEY = <3

  • SEXY SEXY SEXY SEXY<3

    &&AMAZING VOICE.!

    Can u just marry mee?

  • #iLoveMatt

  • I was in a Christian bookstore yesterday and sure enough, they had 2 of Mat's albums!

  • Is it just me or does he look a lot like Hugh Laurie at, let's say, 3:07???

  • @AlexMickeyMichalik You know, I never knew who Hugh Laurie was before you brought up the subject. I pulled up some pics, and certainly Mat looks like Hugh Laurie in many respects! Mat is very very very....well, let's just say he's a keeper!

  • Please watch the language "goesrl." Mat Kearney is a Christian artist.

  • Similarites to Chris Martin but its great :)

  • Mat has a superb voice

  • 7 people haved been loved!

  • thumbs up for his awesome chin!!

  • @ughugh9 ... and hat :)

  • Great Song and great voice (and definately a Martin.. got one myself)  :0)

  • Needs some autotune in parts...

  • @didy22 From what I hear, he was sick at the time. That's pretty good for a cold.

  • @didy22 go die...autotune is the death of music

  • @StemtheNymph The point was that he can't hit notes in his own songs without using autotune--just listen to the studio version. I agree autotune is the death of music.

  • Taste in music is purely subjective. What works for me, may not work for you. To each their own. But strangely enough, I started listening to Mat Kearney after I had just come off of listening to Coldplay for quite a while. So apparently there is a similarity between Kearney and Martin in my unconscious mind that led me from one to the other. If you'd ask me to quantify the connection, I could not.

  • OMG I love him he is sooo talented and HOT too!!!!

  • 7 people had a call today, one out of the gray, and when the smoke cleared they voted the wrong way...

  • I bet this guy does all the shagging!!!

    Lucky bastard

  • omg so much like chris martin! XD

  • omfg, his voice sounds a bit like chris martin´s voice. amazing singer!!!

  • This is like a watered down second-rate version of Chris Martin...and Chris Martin isn't even that great, though at least Chris' song writing is a bit better. Thumbs down to this guy, sorry.

  • @CloverDealman Mat is not a "version" of anybody.

  • @Dude2Hot2BStr8 if you read other comments you'd notice that others agree with my assessment. Not that I care at all what other people think or comment, but I'm just sayin...

  • @Dude2Hot2BStr8 Damn right.

  • @CloverDealman sooooooooooooo wrong about the songwriting part.

  • Awesome song, I love you both, Jesus Christ loves you guys, God too, PEACE

  • Anyone know what kind of guitar hes using? I want it!

  • @ayro0n I'm pretty sure it is a Martin. Not sure what model though.

  • @ayro0n a Martin D-28 i think... it was ruined in the Nashville Flood...

  • In case anyone is wondering he is playing the sond in Eb Standard tuning. In case you were having a hard time getting ur guitar to sond like his. Just tune ur guitar Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb. It makes it a lot easier to sing along with too. :) hope this helps.

  • This guy is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO sexy.  And that thing he does with his voice!

  • hi matt.

  • made me cry...beautiful!

  • finally, a real artist.

  • I lOOOVE him live. 

  • @fullmoonmidget I loved him live too

  • very nice voice!

    Cheers,

  • Great song! Nice pure, raw voice. Come to Saskatoon, Sk..

    i love it

    i love it

    :)

  • I love this song!!!! :D

  • looooooooooove it !!!

  • This is incredible. I love Mat Kearney. And I agree with whoever said he sounds like a lower version of Chris Martin.

  • a better version of chris martin

  • Mmhmm that too :)

  • oh my gosh thats AWESOME SINGING i want sing that good.

  • Waouh ! Je viens de découvrir cette chanson par pur hasard et devinez... J'adore !

  • nice song

  • like a low version of chris martin never even made that connection

  • Rock that C chord! God. Such amazing shredding talent. When he hit the G chord, I nearly fell out of my chair.

    Sarcasm aside, he has a nice voice. He keeps his voice closed a bit like Isaac Slade from The Fray. Slightly boring music to me, but I can see how people could listen to it in a chill mood. We all need an escape from "The Metal," as so beautifully anthropomorphized by Tenacious D.

  • @crimsontearz24 that comment is funny as shit lol

  • love it :)

  • he's eerily similar to chris martin...

  • like that

  • good song good voice amazing dude .. :) dida

  • Matt stands out on his own, as does Chris. They are different Artists with unique talents

  • thats one sweet guitar.

  • The first time I heard this song I thought it was a Coldplay song!

  • his voice sound very similar to chris martin from coldplay

  • not even close. my opinion.

  • first time i heard this song on the radio i thought it was Chris Martin singing.

  • Me too !!! His sounds close to Chris Martin of Coldplay ! They're both of good !

  • i think chris is better

  • who is chris ?

  • chris martin from coldplay

  • oh, yeah

    know i remember

    thank's

  • k (:

  • His Martin Guitar sounds beautiful. D-28 model maybe... not a guitar expert but thars what it looks like.

  • I have a Martin LXM and it sounds amazing for it's small size.

  • @bajacore i've played one before. fine little guitar.
