Matthew Good Band - Everything Is Automatic

[52tincup]

I can't really say why but this music is really good. I own all of their albums and they're all excellent.

[slfsrvingslave1]

yep the ninties were pretty damn great, heroin, gunge, pauly shore, good times were had.

[samantha113100]

Well I was born in 1977. I was a teenager when this music was out and yes, the 90's was a good time for music, but also very depressing! Alot of shitty stuff happened in the 90's. Be glad you all missed it!

[LazyGamerMike]

I love people talking about the year they were born who gives a shit you couldnt control that just shut up and listen to the song

[veronicaodden]

Nights like this I listen to music like this, and only times like these, nowadays do I ever feel like this anymore

.

[manandahalfx2]

I was born in 1985...who gives a shit?

[MrsZombabe]

Makes me really glad I was born in 1990, so I could grow up listening to mathew good, smashing pumpkins and REM. Honest and good music.

[GENERALWACKASS]

I was born in 1982.  before the consumer rage.

[papashangofan]

@GENERALWACKASS Same here, but Im not bragging like a bitch

[flyyspit]

Prophetic beyond belief..

[djnormal]

I was born in '79. I got to enjoy all this in the prime of high school. What a great time.

[sunlightofspirt]

wow this song and video brings back memories i love this song this was one of the first songs that opened my eyes to "alternative" and "indie" music before there was a such thing as "indie" lol wow i first saw this video on Much Music!!!! someone give me a thumbs up if you know what im talking about..........great song great band........ps @ aoffan23 i was born in 86 and yes the 90's were amazing for music!! good for you that you love them too!!!!

[spunkeymonkey86]

man i miss the 90's and the great 90's music like our lady peace, bush, silverchair, green day none of that new mainstreem shit dookie all the way! I miss all those great 90's bands and the way music was then. bush are coming out with a new album i'm pumped about that.

[firebush31]

@thisxisxaxstickxup Wearing clothes makes you anti nudist...pffft....you're such a conformist

[Maclean2400]

Unfotunately for me I was born in '94 and I ended up in the 2000's generation which sucks because I frickin hate it. Music isn't music anymore except for very few exceptions. Movies are 90% effects and end up being shit once again with very few exceptions and now i'm jealous of my cousin who was born in '90 for experiencing more of the 90's than me the bastard.

[triipolii]

@Maclean2400 Touche my friend! We're in the same boat!

[Thommislav]

@Maclean2400 Same here! only I'm born in 92,

[Ecolah97]

@Maclean2400 At least inception is good

[APPLEPIE978]

@Maclean2400 I f your looking for a good movie, watch One Day. It made me cry so much, and I didn't even cry when I broke my arm attempting to do a back flip off the monkey bars at the park ^_^.

[dadio02]

thank you very much tripolli

[flyyspit]

Bad ass tune even today..

[unclebobpart2]

Musical genius.

[M0t0ko]

Man! Gr. 8.... that's when i "borrowed" my mom's cd's for my discman before ipods came out!! lol!

[spunkeymonkey86]

@M0t0ko LOL! I remember taking a discman to school with me when I was younger, none of that rechargeable shit. just take a pile of AA battery's with ya to get ya through the day lol.

[Beatupstang]

@spunkeymonkey86 snap in my day it was a full on walkman with about 10 batteries a day lol

[fuggindoosh]

PRESS 7 FOR "ITS FUCKIN FUNNY"

[illtrax]

Great to hear the kids talk about how shit the music is nowadays... gives me hope.

[punpunmunmun]

man i wish i can meet this guy and thank him dearly for most cherished music lol takes me back to a better time everytime i listen to matthew goods music

[jamieball]

I love this song

[yyzcityofangels]

3:01 " kill for fun, it's fucking funny don't you think, one day you'll decompose, and those birds are singing, the birds are singing " 3:29.... the bass and the hi-hat in crescendo give me orgasnic goosebumps everytime :)

[mizcell]

omg he's so young.. *sigh* i love underdogs.. 13 (or 140 years later it's still the best.

[coley0076]

DO YOU MISS YOURSELF?

[BlueLimeMan]

He's still the best singer out there. >Matthew Good< that is...

[jamieball]

this is my favorite song

[mysweetsense]

This song, apparitions, a world called catastrophe and weapon were played sooo much on the radio in the 90's. Why did it change?! They should play them again damnit!

[NerdyCanadian]

The days before Emo Faggotry / Nickelvomit etc took over. *sigh*

[inflames81]

born in 81, got to see all the 90s had to offer, was a great time but memories are just that, memories, dont dwell on it or morn the past like i did, makes for a fucked up life

[88888marcelo]

buen grupo no lo conocia........

[Moochi19]

I love this song and I miss thoes days, the 90's was the best! Wish I could go back :(

[halcyon0830]

We are not humans, we are paper and numbers, we are a burden to all other parasitic people, we are hopeless, we are losing our humanity, we are without compassion, we are losing our community & society, we are being destroyed by greed & insecurities, we live in ignorance & denial, we are complicit, we are disconnected from one another, we sit in the comfort of distractions (TV, social status, politics, hate/fear/lies, celebrity, media) and we are enslaved to the system (money & oligarchs own us)

[jowston100]

It's so hard to pick your favorite Matthew Good song, quite possibly the hardest thing ever. He has so many good ones, but I really do love this song.

[xxxpain123xxx]

;OMGLOL LUV HOW THIS VID IS 4:20 MINS LONG!!!! HAPPY 420<3

[rockinjosh33999]

what are the extra knobs on that dudes les paul?

[bothan101]

@aoffan23 I would have to say you have missed out on a lot the 90's were far better then this decade has been, like wise the 80's 70's and 60's were better then this decade. I am only 28 in case you are wondering, on the brighter side of things I believe that Matthew Good still writes great music, but their is this little prick who brags that he has personally known Matthew Good for more then twenty years even though Matthew Good has only been around for fifteen years which to me I find funny.

[EmilBlueLime]

This song has a Summer time feeling to it.

[andrewmanford]

90s were the fucking best music ever...jesus christ...so nostalgic

[nodnarb44]

i was born in 84' i was lucky to b gettin in music and catch the good 2nd half of the 90's . 90's fucking ROCKED ! matt good is amazing Vancouver B.C born and raised baby !

[sadie233]

fuck yeah, the 90's rocked

born in 88 here. jawsome

[MerlinAmbrosius17]

@sadie233

The 90s rocked until Cobain killed himself, and then unspeakably shitty pop took over, and we got garbage like Backstreet Boys and Spice Girls.

[jaso19]

i guess i was lucky then lol 1988 child here

[aoffan23]

God damn the 90's were amazing. Well, from what I can remember. That's the problem with being born in '94, I missed almost half of it and was too young to remember most of the rest. Now I can only look back and immerse myself in the stuff I missed. Rock on Matt, still making awesome stuff.

[triipolii]

@aoffan23, Im in the same boat. Even as a 92 baby, I missed a hell of a lot of appreciation time. Nonetheless, just stick with the 80s and 90s!

[Draegun]

@triipolii I was born in 85, and you guys make me feel old.

[st8oftheart]

@aoffan23 I was 15 in 1994. I had some good times during that decade. Dance music was huge and so was grunge style and the band Offspring,Nirvana,Greenday and soundgarden kicked ass. I drank, smoked weed and lived it up.....I still think of the 90's to this very day.

[JonBoy424242]

@aoffan23 me too man, i love the 90's music over any generation and i was born in 94 so i missed it all.

[neooneeightytwo]

@aoffan23 take it from a 80's born kid. 80-90's were the best. I'm still quite puzzled as to how i am still alive in the 2000's. All the artists suck. If you even want to call them that. Justin Beiber anyone? ... /slicewrists.

[DressedInDynamite]

@aoffan23 hehe from what you can remember ? which is nothing, i was born in 81 and i can barely remember the 90s how can you ? heh

[twizz420]

@aoffan23 I was born in 88 and lemme tell you... You didn't miss much (except maybe nirvana and tupac and biggie and NWA and all that good stuff) but most of the early 90's were crap. 95% of the 90's was shit but luckily the other 5% was really really good. It was like the 70's but it didn't completely suck.

As you can probably tell from my wishy-washiness, I'm kind of on-the-fence about the 90's as a whole lol

[DaveSstation]

the 90 were awesome ! the 2000 are not so bad either

[yeoshow]

@aoffan23 Good comment, kid. 

[ZarathustrasCrown]

@aoffan23 It had it's up's and downs...I was born in 1980, so 1990-1999 was me from 10 years old to 19...my teen years. You have to remember, for each Matt Good or Tea Party out there, there were 10 Spice Girls and 'NSync's floating around. The crap just faded into nothing, so all people remember now is the kickass rock music from the era.

[M0t0ko]

@ZarathustrasCrown uuuggghh, i remember the spice girls and venga boys fans.... (cringes) i still have underdogs and beautiful midnight. wish it were easier to find matt good's other less known albums for purchase though. ive only seen the aforementioned albums on amazon and that's all. it's like the world forgot that matt good has 6 other albums out there....

[friedrich420]

@aoffan23 you have no idea how rejuvenating it is to hear someone as young as you say something like that about the music i grew up with. Shine on you crazy diamond, shine on ;)

[lumheid]

@aoffan23 ... RUN O-J RUN!!! there, you are caught up to the 90's

[ProudLiberal2008]

i, for no reason other than what matthew rails against being the reason he is not on my American airwaves....tis a great loss

great lyrics,music spectacular...you Canadians are a lucky lot...here in Amurricuh we don't take kindly to direct affronts to the status quo

[nitroklop]

Freakin love this song

[depechemodelover8]

awesome song!!!!!

[McNevermind]

RIP Geoff Lloyd. Thank you for sharing your music with us.

[FromtheLandofGorch]

I fell in love with this song when it came out. I was I don't know 10 or 11. Been a fan of Matt Good's ever since.

[Jimbothy]

@FromtheLandofGorch funny how time goes eh. I'm 21, going on 22. This shit nostalgic: I'm probably 9, 10. I didn't get into his music until Beautiful Midnight.

[slurreygurl]

@Jimbothy yeah beautiful midnight was an awesome album.. thats when i first really starting listening to his music to.. and he was amaazzing.

[rs3nik]

@Jimbothy Same here man

[hi5lo2]

I've pretty much grown up with Matthew Good, I was born in '94, just when he started to go commercial, and started listening when I was 12 :D

[mdawgy1234]

and now you're 15 and all grown up!

[badcharmable]

you know i did things that nobody'ss done before-all free.

[badcharmable]

hate life-zombie woman

[666Scorpius666]

amazing song havent heard it in years...lol brought me back to some fun times

[StreetDreams204]

I only recognize him wearing shades like in Winnipeg Forks concert.

[AngryRantingNerd]

Whoa. He looked like Tyler Durden for a second there.

[ray69play]

Thus song reminds me of when I was free! This song hits my heart no worries and happness love this song

[pye0123456789]

i wish i wasn't 20......i would have loved to grown up listening to him.....great messages and between 3:36-3:39 that voice sends chills down my spine.

[bmxrider4ever]

agreed

[motleynova]

He has filled out, but it looks good on him. Just saw him last week and he was lookin' fine :) Mmmmhmmm :)

[turfturbo]

Saw him in 07. hes filled out a fair bit since this came out. He was so skinny. Good Canadian Vancouver rocker.

[gunnerlala]

man he looks different

[000enniel]

my goodness he looks so young! i remember when this song came out!

[dfbhcf]

Matthew Good defines alternative rock.

[drsc]

Hence the sign in the video saying "Great hair, bad day"

[Doubl3M82]

i am i big fan of matthew good band

but never knew what this song meant..can somebody tell me?

[DextrosJ]

Everybody's allright.... (not really)

everything is automatic (we are robots)

This song is about materialism and capitalism and how we focus on things outside of us "everything is skin deep" , and how that will not make us happy.

[DrScallyBoi]

you are out of order you wanker

[futureseven]

Suck it up princess!

[Jap001]

Do you even understand what he is talking about?

[hammer231984]

Grade 8 was cool

[darksayese]

man i miss grade 8 too, this is when matthew good band was the shit, the 90s kicked ass bro

[ridethehorsetojunkie]

@darksayese I agree to the fullest extent of agreement! Grade 8 grad 2000! I saw Matt Good and I Mother Earth in London Ontario! Woot! <3 90's!

[ginojuice2]

@darksayese to be fair though, matthew good/matthew good band always have and always will kick ass

[punpunmunmun]

@darksayese holy shit i never thought anyone felt the same way lol nice to know bro :)

[darksayese]

@punpunmunmun word homie

[ilegalWords]

i miss me ! wen i was a child !

[blahcat1]

i miss my head, my heart and my lungs aswell... lol

[Spic172]

killed for fun, its fucking funny don't you think?

[Spic172]

i miss my lazyboy i miss my tv i miss myself

[martowskiamberlee]

Ecellent point darling....mwahahahahaha

[archbishop34]

This was back when good music was considered timeless. Nowadays good music is based on how much overpriced merchandise your image can sell to 13 year old girls.

[JoeSchiff]

1:52 is awesome

[planetjanine]

he was one of the first rock artist I ever got into. love him so much.

[planetjanine]

Matthew Good is a fucking legend. I hope he stays with us forever. :)

[PscottJ]

at 3:05 isint that the cover to rage against the machines second album

[mark1800]

yeah, but mirrored i think. something about monks setting themselves on fire in tibet...?

[altermoods]

love Matt Good, it's a shame he's not even that well recignized by his great work out of Canada.

[dlmx13]

Love this song. IMHO, it is the best thing Matt Good ever recorded.

[xer0mancer]

Damnnn, haven't heard this tune in awhile. still love it! I miss Muchmusic and the good days for awhile, when the music was relevant. not desperate like it feels now days.

[planetjanine]

yeah they really are desperate playing all this shit music for a 5 yr old constantly can't they get kids into good music like they got me into good music? seriously much music needs to die if they're gonna be this crappy. major selling out.

[xer0mancer]

So very true, I know right? what happened to the days when Matthew Good, Econoline Crush, Moist, Our Lady Peace were setting standards, now days it feels like a bad emo commercial, trying to sell waterproof mascara.

[planetjanine]

yeah I know. all the artists they play now are shit and most of the rock artist who they hardly play are posers lmao. so sad for this to happen to Much Music. way too many shitty disney stars lmao.

[greendrywall]

Much Music used to be cool in the good old days.....92-99 RIP Much!

[holesh0t]

VANCOUVER!!!

[sweetscorpia]

I heart Matthew Good. He rocks!

[dlistedbitch]

OMG I CAN'T Believe this song is like 12 years old!! I feel old haha I was in grade 10 when this came out!! It was on Much Music all the time

aww the good ol days when Much Music played Videos!!

[VanCityKyle]

wow i love it when someone replys to my comment and then i search for my original comment and its nowhere to be seen!

[Merlo177]

Word. You should contact youtbue, they have to find a solution for this problem.

[VanCityKyle]

No kidding, i am going to contact youtube cuz this is ridiculous that i cant find my original comment!!

[c0liexo]

I know !! saaame lol

[VanCityKyle]

no kidding it pisses me off when someone disses me with a comment and then i dont know what there refering to because i cant find my original comment!!

[RocknRollAddict0001]

Matthew Good like our pal Ian Thornley is the most under-rated musician on the planet in his repsective genre......

[CorporalW44]

I agree, as I've gotten older I've found that I've been able to read more and more into his lyrics

[VanCityKyle]

Ian Thornley is talened as fuck.. Big wreck was a classic band...

[Vauxhall94]

Sorta has the same intro as that 54-40 song One day in your life. Not to mention they're also from Vancouver.

[seeksthetruth7]

I miss this band they're at least as talented musically as Matt Good, I just like this old stuff better.

[DiabolusAmicus]

this type of music doesnt reach much music and mtv as often as i would like. sell outs and artists backing this "sex sells" bull shit are flooding the market and running this out because its not accepted anymore

[nucca0man]

that's crazy talk!!! you apparently missed what you were supposed to catch... it's ok though, matt doesn't write for you, he writes for people that don't say stupid things!

[nucca0man]

matthew good is the greatest writer the world has ever seen!!!

[VanCityKyle]

Apparently not on his new album!

[reak7835]

notice he gives the finger at 0:07

[DiabolusAmicus]

to have this kind of insight on a society that places looks over ability and intelligence. this is the best album ive ever heard and one of my favourite songs.

[jamieball]

this song reminds me of life in vancouver

[ScottM840]

This is a great song to listen to while driving through the city at night.

[kcdesert05]

Miss my head? Miss my heart? Yup. Sure do. Why does'nt anyone make music like this anymore?

[Kenster1025]

Because the band broke up.

[MatthewGoodRox]

Good one lol

[triipolii]

I love the video! =D

[NecroGrimm]

I Love this Song.
