Mat Kearney - Closer To Love

[msShqipe94]

so cute <3

[saxophonejones44]

Fantastic song, makes me love music all the more

[hotbabeLj]

i wish he was my husband. :(.

[isabelladavis1299]

i love him, his voice, and music, so inspirational

[ninabonitasoccerchic]

lose the fedora and he would look way more better... better looking ;D like if u agree

[CUSSHITE]

@ninabonitasoccerchic ..... maybe, but the fedora is not part of the message so it really doesn't matter.:} I hope it did not distract you from his message. Check out vid for Down by Mat. He is apparently a hat lover.

[iammandy123]

My fist time hearing him....I love it! <3

[WW3NuclearWar]

13 people are getting farther away from love

[luminousclock]

I think he sounds like Adam Duritz from Counting Crows. This is an amazing song, by the way.

[rachelbell864]

Over a million views , and only 13 dislikes. I think it's pretty clear how amazing he is

[thecowboygirl09]

think i broke the replay button!!!

[sonicbolt]

I never really thought of him as being like Chris Martin, but now that people mention it, I can see it. No surprise I'm here, then, since Coldplay is my favorite band!

[Ocean2659]

this spng is so growing on me i luv the vid! B)

[YesseniaSegovia]

This is the day that i have discovered Mat Kearney. =)

I have heard a couple of his songs though. He is handsome and talented. I am loving his sound and vibe.

[falljeff111]

Mat Kearney writes his music like no other artist i know, it hits the heart and the video blends in perfect with the lyrics. Is it just me, or does he look like a mix between Adam Levine and Chris Martin from Coldplay?

[PagiesWay]

Montana dreams:)

[dudemynameisdustin]

13 people cant find love because they disliked this song and this amazing singer!

[mr0mr0]

I finally stopped playing around on the computer to listen to Mat Kearney today... Today is a good day!

[SingingSquyres]

Mat Kearney :) I have no word to explain how much your music changed my life, and how your songs were always there to get me through the rough times. Ive been listening to you since the beginning! Ill never forget sitting down in my room with a cheap CD player listening to "Nothing Left To Loose" for the first time and falling in love! I love every single one of your songs, and your my number favorite artist. You have inspired me so much! i hope someday i could see you live and meet you!

[H3IIoW0rld]

red phone!

[H3IIoW0rld]

awesome song.

[AirbenderLover17]

<333

[A07J09]

I love this song  Thumps up me If you discovered him today

[cedesbernadette]

Thank you Pandora. Mat Kearney > Any New Artist I've heard in a LONG time

[Onefleshabiding16]

This song is so true. Sometimes God has to bring us through the storm in order to bring us to Him. One way or another, He brings us closer to love :) thanks to Mat for making this beautiful music that praises the Lord!!

[xKAykaY95]

i just found mat kearney on pandora's coldplay station. so glad pandora brought me here, his music is amazing and i hope he becomes more well known.<3

[BrandiRose1128]

@xKAykaY95 He is well know.. both his Chicago shows sold out...something some main stream artist cant manage to do! He fantastic live!

[xKAykaY95]

i just found mat kearney on the coldplay radion station on pandora. so glad pandora brought me here, this guy is amazing and i hope he becomes more well known.<3

[campaign888]

To anyone who has ever gotten that phone call about a sudden death of a loved one this song hits home.

[TheDavidtick]

How does this STILL only have one million views? I've at least watched it 100,000 times myself...

[rogerbustillos]

whether u believe it or not u will get that call that brings u to your knees sooner or later

[ihatebullshit101]

Mat Kearney is badass enough to have a hot girl drummer

[Tiger32697]

okay....so I say any music I hear on my fav radio station I like, but I also have told one of my friends that I don't like Mat Kearney's music, but that came back to haunt me today when this song was played on my fav radio station.....I am never going to live this down. I'll admit (even though my friend may see this) this song I do like  =P

[xRisexFromxThexAshes]

So, I got a phone call this week that I guess you could say brought me to my knees. It was the phone call I learned I'd be having to give up my daughter soon a lot of the time, because after 14 months "daddy" decided he wanted something and we go to court. And courts only care that he is biologically belonging, not what he did. but to my baby girl.. that can't break or take away what we have. I love you.

[jdommen]

Great song !

[greenbubble1000]

asdfghjkl;. nuff said

[lakidria23]

at 2:27 what kind of guitar is that?

[xRisexFromxThexAshes]

Mat Kearney, you get me through the day sometimes. <3

[juankrlz]

Until now, I had never noticed that the kid playing guitar is Tyler James. Good artist too.

[Kidadvice]

Matt Kearney is awesome and that one guy had some great hair.

[liamde1]

I heard this song in my local mall......and it was amazing. :)

[samthomas1631]

love this Song :)



[businesschic24]

I work at Wal-Mart and this song plays all the time. It took me two weeks to figure out what it was! I love it and am so happy I found this song. It just keeps me happy.

[SuperAnietie]

love,love this song!!:

[brea495]

so what did he call up a couple friend before hand and say get your instruments its about to go down? or what?

[EllieWillDream]

Sounds JUST LIKE Chris Martin!! Like is still though. Not his fault that he has a voice twin...

[Onefleshabiding16]

@EllieWillDream Nope. Chris Martin is better. 

[NatIonality999]

This song has made me love Mat Kearney on a whole new level.

[pattygray1]

P.S - The guy who sings this song sort of looks like my uncle. But in some ways hes not

[javiercarldavid]

wait, so does that mean she has 4 different messages? one with a bass solo...

[HudsonBennett]

I love how this song has been on here for two years and it only has 12 dislikes. The number of likes is waaaay too low, though.

[TheFreddy979]

@willywonnacott

true that. Coldplay happens to be my favorite artist at the moment other than Jack Johnson

[CantExplainLucky13AM]

LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!! hehe i heard it at the store and i sung it out loud oh yea! i got asked to leave -_____________-

[dogdew100]

I love that Bass!

[kirstinburgard]

Vintage telephones. <3

[oantod]

Anyone know what the name of the girl drummer is in this video?

[acrobatticus]

WoW ! That phone is HUGE !!! Was this video made in the 50s ?

[Kerik2007Minecraft]

@acrobatticus why would this be made in the 50s?

[cosmiclucky]

@acrobatticus

WoW! You have apparently never seen too many phones!

[slh2994]

I emailed this to my uncle and he likes it...........he really likes it.

[TheVenomDrinker]

Enter Shikari is more exciting, this is just like "la dee da, la dee da"...but i love it!

[BBCater]

Support this man, and his music. Think of the obstacles that he faces, especially being Christian. It shouldn't be this hard for someone this good to be heard.

[Usagibunnneh]

@BBCater Sorry, but what does being Christian have to do with anything?

[Onefleshabiding16]

@Usagibunnneh Mat is a Christian and this song is about God.

[SilentStryker25]

@Onefleshabiding16 Mat is a Christian, but this song is not about God, This song is about the girl having a family member die, and Mat is comforting her.

[H3IIoW0rld]

@SilentStryker25 therefore it is about god in a way

[slh2994]

My nephew of 8 years told me about this guy and how he is his favorite. I checked it out on youtube and put in my favorites.

[ArielOrtizIslas]

I love how people that listen to rap tell me this kind of music is "pointless" and needs to stop but yet rappers talk about money, getting chicks in bed, and drugs, get real people, music with meaning being called pointless is like telling Barack he's white, IT IS NOT TRUE!!!!

[cRaZyRoCkIs]

Best song ever!!

[soulsistaxtreme]

11 people need to be Closer to Love.

A great song by Matt Kearney...and yes real music is rarely appreciated today.

[pattygray1]

Luv this song! Once i could not find it on youtube anymore and i FINALLY found it. But guess what. I do not think its that great of a song anymore but i still luv it. I guess i did not get music when i was littler. LOL

[bbiffany]

this is the song that my girlfriend and i picked out long ago to be our "song" ... and now i can't wait until it is played at our wedding next june.

[wolflover255]

I remember hearing this on the radio in 2009. I have always loved it :3

[poprockstar101]

This song is on the christian radio station!! I love it!!

[SuperJackarm]

The day i discovered Mat Kearney...was a great day!(:

[mkoz74]

@SuperJackarm Me too!

[JamesJ775]

If you left this as a message, she'd get back with you.

[football3167]

Great song with great meaning!!

[MikaIsCritter]

:-)

[MikaIsCritter]

@TheFreddy979 I know right?

[Smileyface49381]

i heard this on air1 and i couldn't figure out the lyrics, but guess what? it was already on my channel =/ i spent at least a couple days to find it then My sister told me it was already on my channel... showoff anyways he is an amazing artist!!! i hope i dont forget this song

[jpcmd]

Saw him at the House of Blues in New Orleans a couple years ago. Great show. Great artist.......

[WTFPuhlmann]

I know its made in 2009 but it sounds like its a tribute to 9/11 "When the smoke cleared it took her breath away" "With every building falls"

[towelboi123]

@WTFPuhlmann The lyrics sounds like it really is a tribute.

[kanpai44]

@WTFPuhlmann

"singing the song they can't take away"

freedom.

Long live Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happyness

[GenocideOnToast]

@WTFPuhlmann No...no it doesn't...

[theebbt1]

I love this song!!!! I loved it for a long time, now that says something! So why are there only 1,00,000 views?! :(

[Drasana66]

My favorite song by him!! <3

[ejflesher]

Got the call today, another loved one passes on, but he's closer to LOVE.

[bamatommy]

His vocals remind me of Coldplay

[hackensack16]

@bamatommy true'

[pivalival]

10 dislikes :)

[peaceplusheart4]

Are his songs ever on Christian radio stations, because I think I've heard this song and Nothing Left to Loose on our Christian station.

[BandNerd2813]

@peaceplusheart4 Yeah, they play this one all the time on my local Christian station.

[cha53z]

@peaceplusheart4 Yup i also heard it on christian radio as well.. 96.7 klove. Also i was surprised to hear switchfoot there as well.

[Onefleshabiding16]

@cha53z Christian stations don't necessarily play only Christian songs, just songs that are positive and not indecent.

[LAWTHING]

Me and my daughter sing along to this song. I love it.

[ilikewhalesMORE]

:/ I only get telemarketers in my voicemail

[kendrix2the7th]

this a great song right here.

[leefarmers]

Great tune.

[demp2482]

Wow. Greatness.

[kuffos1]

why is it only showing my views?

[MrDarklink1999]

who could dislike this video?!

[MrDarklink1999]

LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!

[MillenialGenTYT]

I have added many views to this one, a good song for anyone who's in college and/or busy accomplishing goals in their life & has not yet found that special someone; until then, there's music like this to get us through! Thanks Mat.

[MaRieLnAtiOn]

@MillenialGenTYT You could not have put it better into words, Thank you!

[colreee]

this song came out very shortly after my grandmother passed away... to this day, I cannot listen to this song without tearing up. it's a beautiful song and at the time, it was theraputic for me in a way. I will always cherish it because of the relief it gave me during that difficult time <3

[soniabonia786]

@colreee <3

me too

[britishchick1000]

@hardcoremittensnikki uh she meant her boyfriend (whoever he is). not Mat Kearney, she plainly says that. Damn i hate stupid people!!XD lol

[januaryends11]

music can be so strong at times.

[anamariavazquez1]

i Love this song, really Beautiful!!

[dathird11]

LOL WHN I WAS LITTLE I USE TO HEAR DIS SONG ON THE RADIO EVERY TIME...

[JakeDude500]

@dathird11 When you were little... like 3 years ago?

[Blackbeazy69]

damn this BADASS song...

i loved it from the 1st time i heard it...

i think i listened to it like 100 times on replay...

[laylajoanyachirufan]

<3 love this song! <3 :)

[AAmazinglyCoolPerson]

@HonestGamersReviews I think it's a rock song...

[FlyinHighInTheSkye]

OMFG I COULDN'T REMEMBER THE SONG AND THEN I HEARD IT ON THE RADIO AND I'M HAPPY NOW. <33333333333333333333333333333­333333333

[AAmazinglyCoolPerson]

@MatkearneyVEVO So many songs these days are just about all this crap like clubs and picking up girls and stuff. I'm so sick of it. Thank you, Mat Kearney, for making music that makes people, happy ;D. One of the few artists that get the real image of what making music is about .. I wish I was growing up in a simpler time, where the world thought music was a way to unite or enjoy life, instead of making a few quick bucks.

And yesterday was the first time I have even heard of Mat Kearney :D

[ORGANICxCYCLIST]

@AAmazinglyCoolPerson

me either! and i totally agree, im sick of hearing all this crap in songs, so matt kearney and jack johnson are the 2 artists of the times that i would say are "real"

[nickrob1592]

what does the song mean



[HonestGamersReviews]

This is the only pop song that I love.

[thequeensofheartss]

@HonestGamersReviews same here man, all independent and classic 60s stuff for me but- mat kearney, god damn he hits home. Pop brilliance right here.

[setagsrudlab]

I dont get it whats the story behind it?

[soccerrhcpchic]

I wish Mat Kearney would leave me a song in my voice mail.

[snoogers2000]

@soccerrhcpchic don't we all

[Lifehouserocks95]

Love Love This song!

[ISpeakMyThoughts]

I haven't heard this in like 2 years and i completely forgot about it until today i have NO idea how i remembered the name i was 100% guessing when i typed in the search "Matt ... K"

[LuvPink16]

i hope one day ill be pulled closer to love by someone <3

[TheMrPOPROCK]

i touched him :)

[lgmnc]

What an amazing voice, I heard this song on the Weather Channel of all things and I googled the song and now am discovering his music. The lyrics are fabulous. Also

like the classic cars he uses in videos. Also the way he leaves the endings of the

videos to your imagination!

[Dr3w1992]

I love my GF INDIA!!!!!!

[Emmarock10]

Hi I'm Emily and I want Christians to stand up for what they believe in and spread the word of the lord to those who do not believe. I want people to start Clubs and do something every week to spread the word of the lord. Please join the Mark of the Christian and preach to those who do not see. Give a thumbs up if you will join or comment on my channel. Thank you and God bless you.

[GreenZebraPants]

this video is so creative.

[IAMJOHNNYTHEFOX]

the bridge needed to be a bigger component of the song

[TheFreddy979]

funny how real music like this isn't appreciated at all.

[jasperkang]

@TheFreddy979 i'm appreciating it right now

[drumbum8100]

@TheFreddy979 no its not funny how real music isnt appreciated, its quite depressing.

[kambelzful]

@TheFreddy979 it's not even funny

[TakeMyCookieBoss]

@TheFreddy979 it isn't remotely funny.... it's sad. (i got your point, though!) =]

[sprolls045]

@TheFreddy979 that's funny cause it says there's been 1.15 million views.

[BalletDancer26]

@sprolls045 just because its been watched doesnt mean its appreciated. but still the decent amount of views is nice.

[willywonnacott]

@TheFreddy979 Coldplay is one of the biggest bands out there, and mat kearny sounds alot like him, so i catn agree with that :)

[JSRFfyiGUM]

8 people arn't closer to love.

[micciify]

Says all that i can't admit to myself

[TheSgtSheppard]

I seriously know every lyric to this song. haha

[Mikenopolis]

Cardin McKinney is beautiful, seems like one of the nicest people too. Congrats to her and Matt Lopez!

[TheGemini610]

I LOVE THIS SONG, && I LOVE HIS VOICE...

[demonsnipe9751]

[tamaral010890]

[fuzzykittens101]

[clifsgal]

I love you Mat! I walked down the aisle to this song when I married my love :) marrying him and making this our song was the easiest decisions of my life!

[espotato123]

[kennaxbaby]

@ElizaDonna1

[kennaxbaby]

Haha. You guys are so very entertaining. (: I'm so proud to be living in a world of DUMB FUCKS who fight over the internet. I was just saying something. But I have to admit, this is very entertaining.

[cquisengallstarweknd]

@kennaxbaby

[coleb30]

i got invited to an OC concert the day before it. mat kearney was one of the openers and i regret not knowing about him before the concert

[theinfamousparis]

Anyone else think he sounds like Chris Martin of Coldplay?

[kennaxbaby]

@ElizaDonna1

i dont even know you. go away & if you where there then how did you NOT know mat kearney was there.

[cquisengallstarweknd]

@kennaxbaby

[DrakeYuuhi]

@cquisengallstarweknd you think your big for calling her a these names? Grow up please

[ElizaDonna1]

[cquisengallstarweknd]

@DrakeYuuhi
