What's wrong with getting into the song, and feeling the song? Great musicians do that. Bet you wouldn't have the balls to forget what everyone else thinks of you and just be apart of the song in front of people.
I hate when I sort of like a song but then can't stand what a self absorbed jackass the singer is. This guy loves himself more than life itself. He's obviously his own biggest fan. Too bad.
" just dont look at him" ??? people are weird......he is emotional and so is his music..thats why we love him!!...:)) his amazing voice just makes me always feel great....and if he isnt exactly rehersed-dance kind of singer?? so what??....that makes him even more unique...
Honestly when I play this song in my room, prior to ever watching this video, also moved similarly. The song is just to rich in emotion and beat, but because it is compressed and simplified to its rawest elements, makes the player want to explode with expression. That is why for those of you who dont understand, the reason why one moves like that.
he makes those faces and moves like that because of the insane passion he has for the music and the words he singing. john mayer does the same thing. they both have a lot of personal interest in their songs especially one that is as clearly emotional for them as this one. if you put your deepest emotions into a song im betting youd make strange faces and move odd too
try playing the same song u wrote 1000000000000000 times...hes a musician and a actor,its only his presentation ...its how he can plays it ...presents it it....get it?
oh he sounds almost perfectly as he did in the studio. Anway, now I kinda understand why everyone's really paying attention to his move. So bizzare!!!
He Is Not HIGH As some of you Joke About. He Is Proud, Happy, Greatful, and Living in the Moment His Music Has Touched People. 2 words for You. Grow Up!
As a frontman myself, you get so caught up in the adrenaline and ur having so much fun that you really just let loose. He moves like that cause he enjoys it and thats what he feels in the music
@clowve i was going to ask the same but i thought people would get pissed. or i thought he like had a illness. like im really not trying to be mean. lol :D
he's an artist and artist make their art for themself (or they should otherwise they are fake) and if thats what the music makes him feel then oh well
If you've never sang before, it's kindof weird but moving like that is actually helping him to feel the song and get the words out easier on more on key! I sing in a band and my left foot goes up on it's toe!! It's weird, but it makes it easier to get out the notes!! Just an FYI! ;-)
Man, I can NEVER get enough of Matt Nathanson!!! I could listen to him till I die! lol, very good writer! Thanks for sharing the vid, it's awesome! If you have time check out another fav of mine, they have a brand spankin new vid, just search for "Can't Hate You + Brandon Paris Band" They're pop/rock/reggae, and I love 'em!
Pardon me? Not sure what you comment is inferring. I just marked the spot in the video that I like, where he hits some high notes. I am confused as to what that has to do with being socially unconventional. And by the way. I am str8 and against h8!
I absolutely love the song, but he must have had a sore throat during this performance, or something. The vocals were not up to his usual standard at all.
Been a fan since 1995... His CD, "Ernst," has been a staple of my music collection... Great guy, great musician, great songwriter... Glad he's finally getting the national spotlight.
@2113thecrowingIV haha so you want him to stand still and act all "i'm singing a sad love song". haha i like that he puts himself in his songs; it shows us he's singing it just as much for himself as for us, the audience.

It was much better when he performed this song on Jimmy Kimmel, but I think it's great to see him on other shows too. He's been around forever. He's so talented, he deserves some recognition.
ok...so i have been listening to him for quite some time now (about a year) but i have never actually seen him sing live. I LOVE his music, but he is creepy; i just guess i have never seen anyone smile like that when they sing. i dont know, its weird. but anyways, i love his music and hope he makes some new music soon.
On the contrary I think it makes him sexy as hell. He is almost possessed by his music and this song is amazing. John Mayer on the other hand I find disturbing.
creepiest looks and moves.
