  • @WizardJedi0007 so true.

  • Love this...

  • Go to google, type in search bar (The Seasons of Acoustic), AMAZing!!!!!

  • This is good

  • Most beautiful song :D

  • heard this acoustic in concert. it was great.

  • Takes on a whole new meaning when you hear the story behind it. I am glad his mother made it.

  • I can google "Acoustic" too ;)

  • ilove the song...xD AMAZING !!!

  • This song from the opening line to finish is so beautiful, so amazing and so full of raw emotion that I literally cry everytime I hear it. It is, and shall always remain, my favorite song. It is a gift

  • this may be the best song ive ever heard

  • This was always my fav song of Matchbox, it reminded me of when my BF got up at 3 am to drive to work on a Monday morning instead of leaving Sunday night so we could be together one more night......I love the song even more now knowing the meaning behind it...Rob is right when he says that every person likes a song for what it means to that individual

  • Brilliant!..robert kelly thomas

  • I so adore this.

  • Always a beautiful, heart felt song no matter how many times you hear it. I learnt to play the piano (only this song though, cant play any other song) to play when my sisters and I scattered mums ashes. She would have loved it, I am sure.

  • @meggsmissymilo1 I just read this and you made me cry:)  Keep your heart of gold:) God Bless :) Love LiLSiS

  • so hot

  • I get goosebumps when I watch this... Rob Thomas is so amazing

  • <33333333333

  • Go watch "Tell You in a Song by Alex Cline" this reminds me of him.

  • does anyone have a download link to this? this is the epitome of beautiful music

  • It is acoustic. It doesnt say acoustic guitar.

  • @zsisson99 and your point? he is playing the piano... There are no "acoustics" involved...and yes I don't mean guitars..

  • I love the way it's titled "acoustic" when he is playing the piano...

  • @u27762001 You're stupid.

  • @UrMomWatchesThis  and your not?

  • @u27762001 Piano is considered acoustic.

  • @UrMomWatchesThis ok "stupid" in case you didn't know....silent piano is an acoustic piano having an option to silence the strings by means of an interposing hammer bar. They are designed for private silent practice. A regular piano no matter what make or model that transmits musical tones when the keys on the keyboard are pressed is NOT an acoustic even though in comes from the string instrument family.. ok "stupid"

  • @u27762001 Acoustic is usually defined as instruments that are not electronic. 

  • @UrMomWatchesThis "usually" but is technically not....I go to see Billy Joel in concert...by himself...no band....so that means to you I saw him "live and unplugged" or all his songs were "acoustic" versions? LMAO yeah ok

  • @u27762001 Yes. Usually. So it is perfectly acceptable for this to be titled acoustic on youtube. No one wants to hear about how you feel about it. LMAO yeah ok

  • @UrMomWatchesThis I never mentioned once "how I feel about it" but if you want't to know...I like it always have...now what?

  • @u27762001 You expressed a deep discomfort that the video is titled acoustic.

  • everyone is so silent.... so much respect

  • When Rob sings I am mezmerized by being able to just watch him....he pours every drop of (love, anger, sadness etc) into his talent and is so wonderfully open and beautiful to watch (not to mention listen!) to...

  • Shaggy, I don't mean to get "bombastic" but your reasoning is flawed. It's like someone stating, "If someone chooses to drink and drive that doesn't mean that someone who does not drink and drive will not die in a fatal car accident." True, but the one who does drink and drive increases his chances; ergo, Rob Thomas isn't helping his chances by inhaling a cancer stick. That being said, I still like the music.

  • I love how he is talking about cancer...just after he puts out his cigarette. Well done.

  • @professorgoddard yeah i thought that too...... well he said she did get better! :)

  • @professorgoddard Thats like saying, talk about cancer then get out of your car. Or having a drink or coke, or anything with a sweetner. Or breathing the air around you in cities. Everything has the chance of causing cancer. If he chooses to smoke that doesnt mean someone who doesnt will never get cancer.

  • He is one amazing man and he is gorgeous too!

  • I did a cover of this i just started playing guitar, check it out on my channel:)

  • pure emotion... how can anyone not appreciate this? 

  • Crying right now.

  • can never get sick of this song!

  • oh my......that was sad /:

  • Beautiful, used it also when going through a rough patch with my Mum

  • @bigtitsmgee1 wrong, an acoustic set is defined as "Of or being an instrument that does not produce or enhance sound electronically" this includes all instruments, not just guitar. dumbass!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @00youknow

    correctomundo! We all understand that internet peoples must have something to bitch about and what better for a cry baby then youtube. bigtits needs to stfu and enjoy what this man has put his heart and soul into.

  • @00youknow who cares if it's 'technically' not acoustic, just enjoy one of the most beautiful songs of our generation...jeez!!

  • @00youknow its a good song who cares

    

  • @00youknow your a fukn retard!!!

    

  • @00youknow

    I don't really care; it's beautiful either way.

  • @00youknow actually your more wrong than he was. Acoustic does not have to be with just guitar. A piano can be acoustic, a singer can be acoustic as long as it is not electronically altered... DUMBASS! Maybe you should look up the word before you run your mouth.

  • @jebiz85 did you mean to send that to me?? read the top rated comment, all you've done is say exactly what i've been saying.................. Your comment is either a mistake, or you are completely retarded

  • not gonna lie the lyrics and singing ruin that beautiful piano cancer or not

  • Bodacious awesomeness!

  • troll face at 3:14 :D

  • damn and there was me thinking this was eminem 3am acoustic would have been hilarious shame

  • Masterpiece!!! Pure genius!! I would love to know how to get this song on wax!

  • PLEASE UPLOAD "PUSH" by matchbox from the storytellers dvd. they deleted it !

  • Lindo lindo... adoro isto..*-*

  • I have more respect toward this song. It has always been my favorite song of Matchbox Twenty and now knowing the meaning behind it... Much respect

  • yesterday; a 14 yearold boy was sent to be with God in heaven. he had been battling cancer for awhile and finally got enough money for surgery. it was unsuccessful and there was nothing else the doctors could do for him. he was on life support to spend every possible minute with the ones he loves until finally it was time for him to say good bye. please pray for his family and loved ones that will surely be mourning their loss

  • @fishyd1233 NO!

  • @talibanchristian

    well I'm not forcing you to...I'm just asking... you don't have to... O.o

  • My favorite I can't sleep sing. Am battling an in winnable war with cancer.

  • This is music. something that comes from the heart, something that makes you feel happy or sad. The music industry and most of the world have forgotten where the heart and soul of music is and this is a clear example of emotion. Matchbox 20 is one of the greatest bands of all time, and i thank them for producing great music that i can always turn to!

  • This song is so touching. You can tell when he sings this song it comes from hoa heart. Rob Thomas you are amazing.

  • :,(

  • My mom has uteral tumours and is going in for surgery tomorrow to get all affected organs removed. This song is really hitting me hard right now.

  • @ThatOldMixtape Goodluck, hope everything turns out okay. That has got to be hard.

  • @sk8enjoi210 Thanks. Luckily the operation went well and she should be fine.

  • Absolutely amazing song..

  • my life is complete..

  • that song is way too sad

  • I think tht rob thomas is amazing. He is one of the few musical artists tht has natural talent. The way he writes his music is touching, I am only 15 and I am obsessed with him and his music. Its comforting to know tht most of his music is all personal experience and from the heart. Long live rob thomas/matchbox twenty<3 U guys rock!!

  • It touches my heart....

  • @woodstock8905 I sure will! Thanks for the sug :)

  • This song just makes me think how much we take for granted every day of our lives... live life to your fullest... love with all your heart... laugh with all your might... smile like nothing can hold you down.

  • I've never heard anyone with a more beautiful voice than Rob Thomas.

  • @travantlove check out Elliot Smith. 

  • i used to think he was a jackass. used to... lovely

  • Wow

  • Beautifully sang from the heart!

  • so poignant . . . . and beautiful!

  • Its so Good *__*

    I think, 78 people had dont know hox it hurts when a person in his own famaly dies....

  • @UpsideDownChannel1 His mother didnt die

  • This is absolutely AMAZING....... 

  • Luv the song I just wished they recorded a release for the acoustic versions of the songs. I so want this song in acoustic verison plz Rob we luv you =)

  • i have two aunties with the dreaded breast cancer...cancer can get fucked for all i care!

  • ROOOOOOB YOU ARE THE BEST!

  • babay, lonelay... why don't singers sing it babee/lonelee?

  • My all time favorite version.

  • I like this better than the original.. completely stripped down.. he def. puts more emotion into it!! Love Rob Thomas and Matchbox twenty!!

  • I don't think music will ever become more telling, striking, real or pure than this... Class act, absolutely epic. 78 people on 1,7mln isn't much, but why the hell would you give this thumbs down?!?!? Sheez....

  • Listening to this @ 3:00am :) in Las Vegas.

  • I love my mum :'(

    Get better soon beautiful girl, you mean the world to me.

  • Classic song! I'm not sure why you're calling it an acoustic version instead of a piano version though ;P

  • I am glad music has gone so ridiulously far downhill these days. Makes me appreciate when music was good so much more.

  • 1,735,916 Views. Thank the lord at least this many people have a good taste in Music.

  • 77 people have never felt alone at 3am.

  • LOVE this - acoustic is great...check out 'Cathy Jewson Acoustic'  for a similar treat!!

  • unbelievable....

  • Is it just me or do the top two commenters have weirdly similiar names?

  • 1,725,738 Views... Why is it only showing mine?

    On a serious note. This is beautiful.

  • Amazing to watch an entire audience totally captivated and absorbed in the song. Beautiful and emotional and reminds us of those we care about.

  • I think I caught myself drooling with desire when I realized he was smoking in the first few seconds.

  • the moon don't hang as quite as high as it used to.

  • does anyone know how to download the entire version of this song to my iTunes account so I can burn it to a CD????????

  • this is so damned amazingly beautiful. i believe it.

  • lost my mom dec 22, 3days before my b-day-2000-so i kinda get wheres hes coming from.... sad day when you lay your mommy to rest. At least he still has his.thanks Mr.Thomas for the honesty and sharing your moments with us.

  • Amazing a very emotional song

    

  • I was just wondering if by any chance Rob ACTUALLY READS THESE COMMENTS HIMSELF? i LEFT ONE THE OTHER NJGHT AND JUST WONDERED ABOUT THAT?

  • @portertracy44 probably, rermember there just normal people like the rest of us...they get on youtube too and check things out...probably even have there own separate accounts where nobody will know them...like i said there just human like us

  • I'm so sorry

  • this reminds me of my grandmother....she is well...going thru issues....and i take care of her...I love her and miss her...she is not the same. This song breaks my heart.....but I sure as hell love it.

  • 75 people are dumb as fuck

  • Hey friends. I have a song that I want you all to hear, I'm not good in anyway but i thought I'd share it with you all. I hope you will check out

  • this s honestly the most beautiful song, its soo full and pure :D

  • I'm not one of THOSE guys but....75 people need to die...

  • Dear YouTube: FYI - It would appear that there is a dysfunctional bug in your system because there is a dislike button on this page. I'm afraid some people have already hit it by accident and it really needs to be fixed soon. Thanks.

  • ultimate man crush :P

  • wait a minute hey kiss my ass debeverett. you are scum!!!!

  • Nice/ 

  • Explicate

  • Comment removed

  • isn't it ironic that he talks about his mom's cancer and yet at the beginning of the video he's putting out a cigarette. still a great song

  • My mom has been disabled since I was a young kid. Around 5 or 6 years old. Last year my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. I found out what this song meant to him around the time I found out about my mom. I'm 16 now and she's still fighting. This song has spoke to me even more since then.

  • @superstephen413

    Chin up buddy hope all works out.

  • @donkypunchthatho really? are you really saying its gay that that the kid's mom is suffering from breast cancer?

  • @IplayGUITARI i think its hilarious

  • @superstephen413 I wish your mum well.

  • @superstephen413 i was gonna make a statement.....but my grandmom......is far away.....

  • @superstephen413 Im losing one of my best friends to cancer. I see it taking more of him everytime I get together with him. I hope your mom beats it. god speed...

  • @superstephen413 lulz. You don't have to make stuff up to be cool. It's okay.

  • @heavensjoke lulz. I'll send you a pic of her without her hair if you don't believe me dipshit.
