Monarch Music Video::Matt Alber

[Chuckf66]

One incredibly talented man who NEEDS TO TOUR AUSTRALIA. Gorgeous man with gorgeous music. Thank you!

[opricnik]

I discovered a new idol :-)

[xunitopia]

I heard your album a couple years ago and I heard one of your songs online today. My heart flutters. You are a talent.

[DecaturCentaur]

Beautiful....

[impaladave77]

The first time that I heard "Monarch" and saw this video was when I instantly become a huge fan of Matt and his music.

[sanchopanzon]

Man, I recently discovered your music and you definetely rock!

Every time i listen to this song I cry my eyes out trying to take "the love of my life" out of my heart and out of my mind... I'm a 32 yo man who fell in love with another man and I guess I will always love him but unfortunately he is marrying his girlfriend soon. I like to think that I would probably met him in another life and back then we were together.

Thanks for writing and singing such an amazing music.

Be happy dude!

[steson10]

I love your voice Matt.

[NYUCanadian]

Love the song! Love the video! The office part is like a G-rated "Men at Play" scene! Yay! The rest is pretty nifty, too :-)

[azsingersigner]

Beautiful song, and the camera loves you, baby! I like the way this video and The End of the World video show you in banal settings like a barbershop and an office, reminding us that you are a "regular guy" whom we can relate to. I'm a fan!

[venexiana]

i don't like the video, but the song is something terrific. so emotional, it's just perfect!

so, thank you! *_*

i really can't stop hearing it!

[EnnyT]

i can't stop visualizing when i'm closing my eyes and enjoying this song. really beautiful..also the guy

[joelofnyc]

I just discovered you Matt and I feel as though I'm late to the game. It isn't often you come across someone with such talent, wisdom and demure. You are truly a gifted musician. Please don't lose sight of your humility as your fame and notoriety grow. Thank you for sharing your music with the world. I hope to see (and hear) you in New York City soon.

[Can04boi]

I can not get this song out of my head ... it touches me so deeply.... the way it takes off @ 2:16 ... i need lyrics.... and this album is only available on itunes? that's too bad, I HAVE to have it, but don't buy off the internet

[charlth2]

The hard copy version of his album's available on Amazon.

[charlth2]

...and BestBuy.

[Can04boi]

thanks fot the info. charlth2 .... thought it was only available to buy on-line, but see that the Future Shop (a Canadian subsidiary of Best Buy) carries it.

[jereksgospel]

Saw you last night. Lets make out next time. ;)

[heroesvoice]

I'm a singer-songwriter from San Francisco and I really love your music. Did you ever perform at a Gay Pride Celebration?

If you haven't please do it. If you have could you come back again? One of my biggest dreams is to do a duet with you.

I've searched high and low for the chords to your songs. Are they published anywhere?

[ploschad]

for this one,

E, Bm7, D, A (or AM7); repeat ad infinitum

I got my brother hooked on Matt and we often improvise on this sequence; fun!

[kalandreas]

You know, apart from being so very cute, this guy must be positive & warm. You can see that in his eyes. You don't usually meet that in other artists. They carry such negativity. Matt keep going!

[NOLAMJS]

This video and song are just leaving me speechless. Please keep them coming! Your work is brilliant and is very touching. Looking foward to hearing more !!!!

[adamfirebear]

such a great song!! i love the idea of a memory buried inside. keep 'em coming!

[jkamen999]

Well within the span of the hour obsessing over music videos, website, buying your music and now watching this I guess I'm in love with you. Thanks for the music Matt.

[crazyecneralc]

Not sure if I've left a comment on your YouTube page yet, but even if I have, I wanted to let you know (again?) what I am sure so many others have already told you: you have not only a magnificent voice, but a way about you that bespeaks a comfort with yourself & a genuine peace for which some of us are still seeking.

Please keep singing & keep making videos like this. They (and you) are simply beautiful.

Thank you!

Clarence :-)

[Can04boi]

@ Clarence .... "comfort with yourself & a genuine peace for which some of us are still seeking"..... very well said

[mito1970]

ok Matt you are moving very fast up there with my love for Rufus Wainwright (sorry rufus) :)

[BroadwayBill]

My God, I get so lost in your music... and in your eyes.

[MrWoodylad36]

I'm a fan for life! xx (an englishman!)

[hawaiiansurfer]

Matt you are an amazing singer! End of the World makes me cry every time I hear it.

[roloos]

Damn, great song, great looks. I almost have this stupid teenage crush on you. I actually wrote a song about that. so thanks for the inspiratiot ;-)

[Wuyaojen]

Everything is just so beautiful!!!

[BrandonAndersonMusic]

Love this video!  I love the piano keyboard playing.

[SirMuchi]

wow, Matt!!!! Congrats on your new video, I was very very surprised to watch it. I still have good memories from Mexico and the spanish lessons (Con queso!!!!).

Big hug!!!

Jose-Maria

[dengborong]

Matt, this is an amazing understatement - I have listened to this video nearly 20 times. I can relate to this video so much, and the song itself brings me great comfort and optomism. Please keep singing your heart out - you're an amazing person. Thank you for your beautiful music!

[jd5iron]

Computer keyboard as piano: still the greatest music video convention EVER!

[gemguynma]

AMAZING song!! AMAZING man!!

[sgalas1000]

WOW!! A hottie who can really sing!!

[Heyjay454]

Well to say I have fallen in love with his voice AND his...everything...and I'm 48!

AH MAY ZING!!

[hicap06]

Amazing...

Just Amazing....

This is from the heart, and that's why it means so much...

"it will lead me to the origin of of me....... Prehistory.... "

[jarnrs]

Am in LOVE

[jarnrs]

Am in LOVE

[akacanadianbacon]

I absolutely love your range, amazing talent you have. I thank you for your wonderful contribution to the musical world!

[Thannyr]

Talented AND gorgeous! What a combo...

[naleks]

Very nice, Matt! Congratulations! Now I want to know why YouTube saw fit to post "How To Shave Your Own Back" as a "related video" :-)

Norm

[jinxred]

Im learning to like you.....I am a huge Rufus Wainright fan....so you know how that goes......I find your lyrics knowledgable and followable..as opposed to Rufus...he gets carried away sometimes..ha ha..your plus is your comfy cute.....so I dont miind staring at you..lol

[salvica22]

From Spain, también se oye tu musica aqui !! Que cancion mas bonita! Besos

[dkennedyii]

If I want to hire him? Hire him? I wanna marry him! I want tht man to sing to me until my dying day! Wow, it's been such a long time since I've been struck still by a voice. I literally couldnt move the first time I hear his voice. Kudos to you Matt.

[joplinjames]

BRAVO!! You are SO talent, cute and a wonderful inspiration to all gay creative men out there!

THANK YOU!

[donutcake]

In this video, Matt looks extra cute in his work clothes:

1:08 - 1:12 Matt strutting in his work clothes...

1:31 - 1:37 Matt kicking back looking cute (watch it w/out sound...see, told you. DREAMY!!!)

1:42 - 1:46 Matt has a cute bum...

[kimbeaverFO]

how beautiful!

[Gaybreal5]

Simply Beautiful !  Thank you Matt for

sharing your Amazing talent with us all .

[Jafor]

This is just a gorgeous song. I enjoy listening to it every day and I've posted it on my myspace and facebook. Can't help but listen to it. His voice just makes me smile and gives me goosebumps. Thank you, Matt Alber, for singing and sharing with us a piece of you.

[skittskatt1]

It's no wonder his music is so beautiful. What else would you expect from a beautiful man!

[aduminosso]

[emeralds222]

[monkyguy]

[lucyliesinashes]

my fav part is the keyboard coming in when the hands touch the computer keyboard ;)

[213775052]

just heard your song The End of the World. It's beautiful. Also heard Monarch. Didn't disappoint either. Wonderful. Thank you

[veggievampire]

i'm really unclear about the person whom you're singing this about ... :25 there's a picture of someone is very androgynous in black and white; i can't tell if it's your man, your girl bff, or your mother ... then in the song you mention 'her' smile and all that jazz... anyway--I think you're absolutely amazing, I like your raspier, newer stuff better though. That said, what kind of, ahem, hiring are open to? :-)

[mdmphd]

Isn't that his Brother in the photo?

[DavisMcDavis]

I believe it's being sung from the point of view of a heterosexual male butterfly singing to a female butterfly.

[johnnyrobobot]

Could be talking about a flower too.

[maxipop60]

Wow. The beauty of this song and that sweet face actually brought a tear to my eye. So much beauty. Thanks for melting my cold, cold heart. Just FYI, Towleroad posted End of the World, and I thought I'd check for more here.

[xgman210x]

Awesome video and song. I also saw your video "End of the World" on logo. I can say that I have already become a fan of yours. lol Best wishes!!!

[dierretaylor]

How have I never heard of you before!?!! I saw your video for "End of the World" on logo and I instantly fell in love! Good Luck!

[mdmphd]

Check your TommyBoyEnt postings,too.

So you have two solo albums - Hide Nothing and Nonchalant? Are they both on cd? (I like tactile; music in my hands - loved vinyl of all kinds and watching a needle stroke a groove)

[memobookofsheets]

I hope you come down to San Diego one day. I love this video! The light in Los Angeles is like no other in the world. And the song is so wonderful. I've seen "End Of The World" too and it makes me weep each and every time. By the time the kiss comes at the end, I'm a mess! See romance is still alive and well. Thank you for making a gay man cry over romance again...

[kellek1974]

No problem, you replied to something else on MySpace of mine. It must be crazy trying to keep up with all the different social networking and outlets when you actually respond yourself to your fans, so thank you!

[MainyaMusic]

I'm still in awe of your song, "Fieldtrip Buddy" Thank you for waking up my soul.

[mattalber]

I'm so glad it did!

[PhillyKid429]

I just discovered this song because my buddy from LA told me he saw you in a show. I'm now a big fan on the East Coast.

Love the video, man. Really clever how you used the computer keys as piano keys (at least that's what I took it as). Congrats! I'll keep an eye out for coming to Philly..

[daboomadoo]

Hey i just saw this video on the Click List on LOGO not 5 minutes ago and i loved your voice!

[MOSHATI]

Lovely...

thanks for posting.

[333calliegirly333]

This video is great, but the song is absolutely remarkable! Your voice is captivating, and along with the dramatically spiritually uplifting lyrics, it left me in awe. Listen to it again and again. Great job!

[mattalber]

thanks for the smile, CallieGirl.

[TezQuetz]

Beautiful, beautiful song, great video - Congrats, man!

[laluzan81]

Wow! You are so gifted! Thank you for singing this beautiful song. Your voice gives me chills bud! You sing with conviction and that touches me. Please consider singing something in Spanish! Where can I see you perform live? Long live the Choir boys!!!! Besitos!

[mattalber]

hey laluzan. If you want to help me translate that song into Spanish that'd be awesome!

[laluzan81]

Hey Matt,

It would be my honor.  Please check your personal messages for my contact info.

Besitos!

[kellek1974]

Hey there! check you MySpace friend requests once in awhile. : ) LOVE this song, love that you are open and bring the "average joe" (with above average musical genius though) gay type to the biz!!!

[mattalber]

hey kellek- sorry for missing you on myspace. thanks for listening closely and for taking the time to write =)

[skyguyomaha]

Great song!!!! love it btw were u in Chanticleer? you look so familiar. I am a huge fan perfection at it best!!

[mattalber]

hey sky, yes I was in Chanticleer for 5 years (1998-2003).

thanks for the note!

[xrbc11]

btw, Matt - i too like everything Alan Ball.

We can watch my SFU complete series collection when you come to town ;)

[mattalber]

i would be annoying to watch it with because i have them all memorized

[meelio]

far too cute to be annoying matt ;) saw your new video on afterelton and loved it. the dance and kiss at the end were very sweet, as was the song, and reminded me of richard hawley.

[xrbc11]

Hey Matt - I just discovered you this past week watching Logo TV and saw your video. Absolutely beautiful, man. Your voice reminds me of Rufus Wainwright. Gorgeous video and beautiful music and lyrics. Love the mandolin (or is it a banjo) in the middle. You have to come to Austin, TX to perform sometime.

Rob Chenoweth

[nevillejd]

love the voice - the songs are good too - cant wait for the debut on itunes. Goodluck with this Mr - you are gunna be HUGE!

[AJH0688]

Congrats on the song...its very good! Its all very refreshing!!!

[bcrayner]

Hey Matt, I really enjoyed this song. This is the kind of stuff that inspires me and makes me want to get into music. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your album! I'm sharing your video with all my friends through Facebook.

[sa1994kimo]

This is so beautiful! I saw it from the site Ethan Says, and I must say I'm so glad he shared the song!

And indeed Matt, you're so cute!!!

I'm your fan (I guess I can say that now) in faraway Taiwan! Will it be possible for me to buy the real CD then?

[besurreal]

Fantastic!!! Can't wait for the release of your album!

[karon1821]

Thanx matt, but Karon is just my username, my name is actually Aaron. Sorry for the confusion. lol

[mattalber]

my bad.

[clharris55]

I never really noticed until now but a lot of men named Matt or Matthew are really good looking.

I.E.- Matthew Fox.....oh and Matt Alber!!

[karon1821]

I love this song. Heard it on New Now Next. I can't wait to buy your album. It won't be just available on i-tunes will it?

[mattalber]

hey karon- thanks! Both the digital and physical release will be available Nov 1st. The packaging is gonna be rad, so I hope folks will consider buying the real thing. I'm making some special edition copies that will include a little book of my poetry. I still love buying real CD's.

[clharris55]

I love this song so much. I caught it watching NewNowNext on Logo. I really wish it was on ITunes. Great Job Matt!!

[mattalber]

hey man, thank you. we had fun making it.

the song and my album will be on sale Nov 1st on iTunes =)
