matt embree - overcome (acoustic)

[Tolanshaw]

this is incredible. hey yall if you dig matts solo project Love you Moon check out the cover of his song 'A New World' on my channel. Added an extra harmony vocal line for some texture.

[cedens0001]

Simply Amazing!!! Such unbelievable talent. This performance truly makes me question a lot of things.

[conmon554]

"but who are the ones that we call our friends? these governments killing their own? Or the people who finally can't take anymore, so they pick up a gun, or a brick, or a stone?"

[conmon554]

genius

[fallstoohard]

how the FUCK could you dislike this

[mhoustoninteg]

If i could i would start a religion to worship this guy. Matt Embree you are the shit!!!

[strawsparky33]

Loved it!!! The improvising at the end wasn't great........ IT.WAS.FUCKING.GENIUS!

[school1]

Matt is the man! i love how he ties in a little jackson brown lyric. Matt embree is a genius. RXB for ever!

[RATM5783]

@banditandrew It b/c the only people that are watching it are the people that are lucky enough to know how great his talent really is

[sleepyeyeguy]

This song has a good point... why won't they pay for your college and give you good medical benefits if you join the peace corps??

[nukki1]

these guys def have an original sound but damn all i can think of here is sublime! i love it

[sunsings2]

Great soul!

[NcDinesenghgh]

I'd love to see a collaboration between Matt and Tomas Kalnoky

[jrskblx125]

@NcDinesenghgh

ohhhhh man that would be awesome!

[rumncoke2009]

@NcDinesenghgh I couldn't agree more.

[turk3602]

i bought him a rum and coke

[TheSqueakycheese]

SO intense...i get goosebumps!

[cerakeith]

7 People don't know what good music is..

[Potoutvideos]

all we need rigth now is love

[123colt]

THERE IS A VIDEO THAT HE RECORDS IN THE SAME SITTING AS THIS SONG, OF DECRESCENDO. ITS AMAZING. BUT I CANT FIND IT...and its starting to make me angry.

[mollythorp]

matt embree... I love you.

[DoElaborateRx]

I love it when i stumble across awesome shit. This dude rocks in everything he does.

[nathanpresleybrodie]

i was looking for acoustice versions off Live's Overcome! good score stumbling across this dude :)

[XxShUmSkIXx]

Rx bandits is one if my favorite bands and Matt embree is the man!!!!! I love all there albums and I hope new ones come out in the future

[googoogaagaa178x]

this guy is very talented, both musically and lyrically. I like the song lyrics also ;). Matt Embree is the man and the RX Bandits rule!!

[animedude723]

That was amazing! Matt embree is awesome!!!

[cardarelli5390]

this shit is it

[machineguner28]

check out rx bandits "hope is a butterfly, no net is captor" music video

[leahsimoneau]

This guy kicks ass and every thing he says is absolutly, completly true.

[pattyestrada66]

What a hippie. He's got a beautiful voice<3

[celticninjadruid]

thank you lover.............all we have together love

[Ashleyrose08]

Favorite song on the Resignation. Too talented....

[pezcore555]

the "extra verse" or so called "freestyle" is part of a Jackson Browne song called Lives in the Balance

[greendude666]

damn i love the acoustic version of it :) also from "never slept so soundly" it adds something like more feeling to the song itself...

[OnlyTheBestDnB]

lyrics actually mean something

[DiversifyURself]

RXB for life

[zatarain1991]

In regards to crago121, permian11, and whoever else it may concern... At the end of the song Embree begins to "freestyle" lyrics or at least sing lyrics I have never heard before on record. Before that point his lyrics are as they are on the album.

[kopit]

this guy is talented as fuck.

[crago121]

where can i find the lyrics cause all the ones come up are another version of overcome

[Skaman007]

Listen

[1powday1]

If you knew who he was you prob wouldnt be saying that. Matt Embree is a great singer and musician. I get your not trying to "diss" it... listen to the original.

[koriepfrank]

I don't really care who he is, I'd speak my opinion even if he was Jesus Christ, I just don't really dig it. He's better than most shit music today, but it just seems like a constant ramble.

[1powday1]

i respect your opinion. ha def better than todays music, thats for sure.

[permian11]

a ramble? he writes incredible lyrics, I can respect you maybe not digging the song but his lyrics are always extremely well done

[brycebro]

he steps in out out of genres. thats rx bandits for ya

[naymelessmoonlight]

great stuff happening in mothers' garages everywhere..... !

[crago121]

anyone know what he does in the end???

the scale part not the harmonic

[ixzeroxi]

its all pentatonic notes. he's using position four of the pentatonic scale

[Mellophreak]

God that man is amazing!

[googoogaagaa178x]

Matt Embree is the man. This song has so much meaning right now. It is an amazing song with amazing lyrics and he sings it with amazing passion. Keep it up Matt!

[dylanelaen]

funny how divisive the comments are on here considering the unity message of the song...

[oswaldex1000]

fucking awesome best singer ever

[mayla7]

love him!

[ukop123]

d22f15h-

Paytonrianda is correct if u touch the 12th fret but not push down on it completely and then strum thats the sound that matt got its called a harmonic. don't get involved in something which you have zero knowledge about.

[spacepope2134]

this video is the truth of mankind

i dunno if its just me but matts on to something there

[unku]

Who filmed this? How was he in Matt's mother's garage..?

[dactylsaur]

he broke in?...

[unku]

he got a pretty close camera angle for a break-in. A+

[unku]

I agree with the second half

[unku]

oooh, a lot of people must really like obama. big surprise. bunch of brainwashed idiots

[udownwithMLE]

matt embree is the man! this song live is amazing the bandits tear it up! I want to see Love You Moon baddddd.

MashDownBabylon

[googoogaagaa178x]

Matt Embree is the man. This song is amazing.. I love political songs..

[PandaStoleMyPuppies]

funky!

[Pat4323]

oh my god.

[bjesus420]

I'm also tired of all the military war's. But now it's time for a change. I hope!!!

[unku]

lol.. not the kind of change you expect, but yes a "change" indeed.

just keep your eyes open, it's gonna get fun

[equisxxxxxxx]

how incredibly and fuckin amazing is the "extra" verse on this version?

[ArewGiurgi]

BADASS at 5:00

[minibikedude04]

hahaha not.

[myguitarcries]

Someone Loves Harmonics?

[paytonrianda]

badass? dude all u do is barely touch the strings on the 12th fret

[d33f15h]

you are a fucking idiot.

[paytonrianda]

and how is that

[d33f15h]

all he does is touch the strings on the 12th fret??? are you being serious?

[paytonrianda]

thats what a harmonic is, yes.

[FenderR0ckre]

hahahahahaha. some people are retarded. kudos for putting up with it man.

[henryflint123]

you are an absolute retard.

[paytonrianda]

im sorry you feel that way. and how exactly is that?

[jamesaston12]

being retarded is underrated :/

[tabxmaux]

That's awesome

[DexJux]

how old is he here?

[mikeyw424]

so good

[mikeyw424]

so good

[sq2124]

whats the chords for this song.

i dig it.

[edude29]

from what i can tell, it goes Dm, F, C.

[ftnchrislol]

yup. and then the second half of the song just move it up 2 half steps.

[jrskblx125]

you mean one WHOLE step??? lol

[ftnchrislol]

if you can show me a difference between one whole step and two half steps, then you've proven that your comment wasnt a waste of time. otherwise...

[xdoesupb]

From his cryptic acronym I have derived that his comment was a joke

[freeUSmind]

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

[TheKismetsDrum]

my band is opening for them on wednesday in salt lake!

i cant wait

[alski52]

...wow. seriously.

[Deathorocc]

Matts awesome

[ftnchrislol]

for those curious the extra verse is from jackson browne's song "lives in the balance"

[nelson3300]

what we need right now is love...

[skatopolis]

werdd brad.. the extra verse is quite kinky aswell

MuchRespectAllAround!

[Brads4e]

What I like in this acoustic versions is just the voice that we can hear much better and feel the real meaning of the song

[brandongregory1999]

Matt, rules

[twentysomethingmind]

i make sure i keep all bonus DVD's that come with releases in a place i'll remember, because they're good stuff to have around on sick days/etc. and this one is definitely one of my favorites.

[twentysomethingmind]

the footage was taken during the recording of the resignation. this was on the bonus DVD that came with the CD.

[summerteeth]

ahh i remember that. dont know what ever happened to my copy of the cd :( moved twice since i had it. blarg.

[kris242]

lmao wow. that's awsome. When was this footage taken? Rx Bandits are such amazing Musicians.

[KathleenAgonoy]

sucky!

[msiskjr]

valerie please it was horrible

[ladylazarus06atgmail]

Great song. Great band.

[radhazord0]

this song is amazing...i like it a lot better then i like the recorded version...

[KafkasShore]

Fantastic, they played this song as an encore when I saw them in Oxford last year...if you haven't seen them live you have to they are immense...best gig ever.

[TheBigGritty]

I just saw them last night... You couldn't be more right. Not only are each of them incredible musicians, but they are awesome showmen as well.

Although... Matt loves his tunes so much and starts jamming, and he moves away from the mic!

[LaLizzeh]

Lovely!

[crazycrazycrazyfool]

the lyrics of overcome pretty much sum up everything in the world..*bows down*

[petrillorider]

sick

[tommyphammy]

I never get tired of listening to this

[ChilleDINJerseY]

hah right i can listen to it for so long

[cuttingedgefilms]

Good!

[FattieMac16]

ive heard this song a million times and still am astonished by the pure genius that is matt embree, and the rx bandits

[fletch858]

whats the O stand for on his left forearm?

[zildjianbinger]

ha its a whole note

[joecool831]

owned lol

[fletch858]

how?

[che1fg]

Its actually in the middle of his vein for easy injection of heroin, as unrealistic as it seems.I saw it close up when i met him in Boston. Don't let those other smart-asses "own" you.

[zildjianbinger]

its still a whole note

[RoboReport]

I love how people still refuse to believe that they don't do hard drugs. They live in Long Beach, which is known for it's heroin scene and speed.

They're are still wicked down to earth and great guys though, drugs or not.

[che1fg]

very true

they are really great guys. purely genious.

[wabs05]

this is class! but his acoustic sounds shit.

[electrickpunk]

What we need right now is love.

less than three.

[twotonejohn]

awesome

awesome

song

my fav. part was

"oh when the government lies to its people.

and the countries drifting to war".

[Shmiffany]

Oh Mylanta, Matt Embree is So Fantastic. Two weeks ago I saw Rx Bandits in San Francisco & at the end of their set they still had'nt played Overcome! So since practically the whole crowd wanted to hear it we cheered "one more song!" & when that did'nt seem to be working we just started singing the intro "We've Had enough of these Politicians Wars...etc It was AWESOME.

[Naldowon]

that last 30 seconds was awesome! he sings with so much passion, even if it is just a cheap video in a garage. embree is god!

[oldschool4life]

actualy he kinda messed up at the end, thats why he laughs.

[realeverton1]

amazing

embree for president haha

[tlgjames]

Absolutely amazing.

[Jellodings]

This is good shit man :D

[magnu44dirtyharry]

2 thumbs up!

[corvidcee]

Shiieeett, I have never heard him alone, acoustic. That just threw shivvers down my spine. Unreal. He needs to go it alone with that much conviction! Tell me im wrong!

[Iskra100]

Hi... never thought I'd see this version again! - Hats off to you dunivan, you may not realize it, but your little action of posting this will have big consequences, none of them negative....

Anyway. Can any musos out there be so good as to tell me what he's doing with the vocal... I can sing it all note perfect while playing the chords but it doesn't match an octave lower than him... where am I going wrong?... I'm sure loads of beginners would love to understand this song better.

Peace

[Meldrum2412]

hey where did you get the guitar tabs/chords to this song

ive been loooking EVERYWHERE

[Iskra100]

hey Meldrum,

I can't remember, I just watched what he was doing and it is just Dm-F-C for the first section and then it goes to Em-G-D after the bridge bit. It's that all the way to the end. Hope that helps

Peace

[breakyourself1519]

wow, not a whole lot you can say after something so awesome

[jac1710]

The lyrics at the end of the tune are actually from this song called "lives in the balance" by Jackson brown. Check it...

[jombler007]

I don't like the RX Bandits all that much but I love this version of the song, and the lyrics are very powerful.

[illwaitforthenextone]

this is one of the most imaginative, creative, talented, and real men on earth

[SmuttyTheLion]

I love Matt Embree.

[cbut098]

a legend in the flesh

[abbietoeknee]

i need to marry this man, big

[xTrialofTearsx]

Matt Embree is my hero.

[OrycteropusAfer]

Simply amazing.

[bwaaaap]

incredible....

[zach2back]

anyone know how to get live/acoustic cuts on a cd format? is that possible, or is the show the closest thing?

[dwooley]

fantastic loved all 5 min.

[chumbles]

anyone got the video to the acoustic of 'All the time'? awesome song

[jiggajesse]

it would be cool to do an acoustic jam with Matt and the rest of the bandits. Like just a set of cangas, a few guitars, a bass, and a rhodes organ. That would be sick!

[w0ss4g3]

woa

[ohJulian]

talent. :]

[n1k0le]

that was indeed a great acoustic set

[Cabby182]

wow i thought "when he starts to sing... i close x)" but Voice is great...

Great Video!

[sirelkjohn2nd]

that was incredible, matt is such a good musician its almost inhuman

[unku]

perfect.

[aow49]

great song

[cuttingXword]

that was amazing.

[potofgravy]

That was great.  To say he's a decent player would be an understatement. And how does he sing like that? That'd hurt me to sing like that.

[ieatmusic]

wow that is simply amazing, that is an awesome song there. i like the kinda jamacan accent. very good! :]

[twCeLL]

god in sky, matt in earth.

[incsuch311]

awesome.
