[kingjr180002]

i havent heard this song in 3-4yrs lol its still wonderful!

[LPAA1177]

going to their concert tomorrow! so excited

[heatherdumas]

WHY DOES THIS NOT HAVE MORE VIEWS?! THIS SONG & BAND ARE AWESOME!

[nextstep333]

22+ people are going through some hard times.

[SuperSueb123]

This song touches us all. We all have hard times when we feel like all is lost but this song reminds us to keep hanging on, this too shall pass and we will be okay once again. Love this..Rob is so talented and so are the rest of his band.

[RunningonDaffodils]

It's crazy. An amazing song and band, so little views yet "Friday" has 130 million views. This song, all of their songs have such meaning and passion behind them. Rob Thomas is an amazing composer and singer, Matchbox Twenty will forever be in my heart.

[InspiredMuse74]

I keep thinking that these hard times I go through will give me a really amazing inspiring story to help others. These hard times come a lot but it could be worse. I could be in Africa or homeless. I have almost been homeless so I am greatful that I am not. There has to be a reason for hard times? Right?

[CoreyMorley94]

keeping me hypnotized the power behind those eyes

[CoreyMorley94]

this song gives me chills love it

[mar10lena]

[cindybare]

[iknowijustdontcare]

this song makes me feel good every time i listen to it.

[weirdDove]

NOOOOOOO ....there not match box twenty till he is with me .....and thats a FACT

[5pointechik]

(don't get mad) I think he's put on a little weight. I think it looks good though. He's still super sexy!

[grimmy1873]

there the best band iv ever heard or seen live

[cvbball2]

matchbox 20 is probly one of the most consistently great bands ive heard. :)

[ventusmasterbaku14]

i love that song! I wonder where that guy from unwell went?

[speedball2008]

thats' him, lol, with short hair

[Dim12c]

yeah it looked alot cooler

[watthefuak]

i miss his long bushy hair like in unwell haha, i love that song

[psuwi45]

nice...

[slasherx1000]

Song=Awesome

[sportsaremylove]

this is my all time favorite song. (: i love it!

[techieleader]

it not a capella. its only know as a capella when there are more than one person singing. if its just one singing that is know as a solo

[IQof20]

?? A Capella's current accepted definition is singing w/o accompaniment. It doesn't matter if it is 1, 10, or 1000 people doing it. Without accompaniment is a capella.

[Auronreinhart]

just cause something is accepted, does that make it right? some horrible crimes have been committed with that frame of mind

[gr33nday1946]

normally you'd be right, but im gonna have to say not when you're talking about vocabulary

[Auronreinhart]

fair enough, i was just using a gross overstatement to prove a point, im still in the techieleader camp though, at least until i check to see what oxford dictionarys' position is on the matter

[gr33nday1946]

thats a good idea, think ill do the same

[Apollo48]

I can't believe that was the first time I've seen this video. Awesome, the a capella part sounded really cool

[jutal69]

really nice song...

[antigallinaa]

so cool, epic song

[Lildrummerboy50]

i love the drum beat for this song great song to great story behind it :) 5/5

[InfiniteSky49]

balloons were cool, but the capella isn't in the radio version.

[InfiniteSky49]

Very appropriate song for this present financial time.

[lilzolo2]

hes my dads friend

[u8myfood]

?....

[lilzolo2]

i LOVE HiM , he hugged me the otherday and i almost died

[lachlanpudduh]

why'd he hug you?

[brwnxeyexbbyx4]

i love thisss.

:D

[poetchris5]

I love the a capella part of the song... awesome!! Rob Thomas has a fantastic voice!! :-)

[thereaper8675309]

grea song but whats a capella

[kpxkrazy]

When the music cut off and he was singing it. For example 2:43

[thereaper8675309]

k thanks bro

[sweetwytelily]

This song is Deep.I love it!

[leeoinsd]

great song!!!!

[breale19]

good song!!

[baliwic4]

nice song. xD

[odinmon1]

Yea Rob Thomas is and was the bands lead singer, they broke up and he went on his own for a year or two but they got back together :o), Great band and AWESOME song

[kayla1513]

is their lead singer rob thomas?

[anthonymij]

I can easily relate to this song!

[capeverdeangirly]

this song has gotten me through a lot. matchbox twenty just has this way of making everything seem much smaller than it is. like i think my problems are huge and i can't get through, but i put on this song, and suddenly i realize i'll get through them, no matter how hard, how big, it's ok. " say goodbye, these days are gone, and we can't keep holding on, when all we need is some relief through these hard times" i couldn't have put it any better.

[Saphira9878]

Thats deep

[gabbs4life]

you areright about that!!!!!

[leeoinsd]

thats deep. If u like this song, then u should check out "What About Now" by Daughtry.

It is basically just like this song but its by daughtry.

:)

[MrCrazedandinsane]

@capeverdeangirly 1 of the best written and sung song I have evr heard. I love rob thomas and matchbox 20's musicf. Powerful music if ya ask me....

[Murcha19]

their lyrics are like poetry. I love their stuff.

[68plyfury3]

This song should be re-released right about now. With the way the stock market keeps crashing, and the economy going sour, the song title is well fitting!

[1337noia]

I love the powerfulness of this song! to me its saying we are all in charge of our own destiny and take it with both hands and run with it!! Rob Thomas has an amazing voice and an abundance of talent!!! He rocks!!!

[fatboysbaby]

this song rocks my panties

[dalatrocks]

wOw so powerful amazing video

i love when they let go of the ballons it just says like yay we can let go of the past,look forward to the future,and take kare/love the present.

[xpwincessme109x]

reminds me of jamie bell x

[JadenTheCoolGuy]

well times certainly will be hard for the street cleaners with all those balloon remains.

[fatboysbaby]

lol nice joke

[mugicfan1]

Yea, I think this is Rob Thomas, not Matchbox twenty. :|

[jimbeanz09]

this is matchbox 20. it is on the newest cd of theirs. it's the fourth song on Exile On Mainstream.

[Sarahishot14]

[mechanic007us]

Great song. have a good day.

[savethemannettes]

[onoron]

[fallsonme27]

I love this song. Rob Thomas is amazing!!

[jewelofmyeye]

awesome song. i luv the message

[oPuPo]

Doubt it ... my closet is jam packed, he'd be lucky to hide a foot in there!

[imissmydylan08]

oh ur such a smart alec

lol funny though =]

[gunbounderer]

i don't have a closet, f*ck yeah can't do shit with me XD lol... dumb comment

[D3aths1ck]

nice try but i dont have a closet, i have a dresser :|

[Edvice05]

this song has giving me a chance to forget about the past and start thinking of whats in the future that's in hold for me

[browneyes101ab]

thats a good way to look at it... I hope that the past whatever it is passes for you...just keep your head up

[prengded]

super lied!

[da051586]

This song says completely how my life is going!! I love it, because I can relate this song!!! Its another Hit from an awesome band!!! Keep up the great work guys!!

[baroquefish]

Great effects with all the balloons and that...

But who is that on the drums?

Was it Adam?

[bruciie]

this is like the only song i like from matchbox twenty...im not saying i hate them or something bad but just leavin a comment =.=DONT BE RACIST BITCH

[Nikolaiman123]

lol back to my comment my girlfriend said she never really loved me :O i was heart broken. Thx matchbox twenty for helping me :D

[Duwert]

Lol you suck then :)

[genesis4kt]

Love it... Love them...

[minderfist]

i miss the post grunge matchbox "20" i dont like

the candy coated swauve vogue version of them. They still right good music but they lost their edge years ago in my opinion

[TheWillOfFire]

what would be one of their earlier songs? Thanks for not pushing your opinions as if they were the foundation of the world and anything else was wrong.

[bruciie]

FUUCKING AWESOME SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

GOG GOGOGOGOGGOGOGOOGOGOOGGOGGGOOG­OGOGO

jk but they are good

[Nikolaiman123]

omg i had to break up with my girlfriend because she wouldn't talk to me anymore. This made me feel better about that T-T

[frienddog12321]

yea i now how u feel!!!!!!!!!!!

[PlatinumDragonn]

I like how they perform it in a street, it gives it a more personal, close to home, feel. And I really enjoy the balloons. This song can make my day anyday. GO MATCHBOX 20!

[lilcao]

I first heard this song on the radio driving home and it made me feel better about my day.

[Edvice05]

same here just putting this song in repeat for long drives home lol

[Daddyslittlemusican]

I love the meaning to this song because its happening everywhere in the world! Espically all the pain we go throught everyday!

[lachlanpudduh]

very sad yet also very true of much of the world today

[cooldudemick]

[0sharpeyesniper0]

this boy is a poet. Exactly, modern day Beatles, but definently not as good, but close

[gunbounderer]

[0sharpeyesniper0]

This song is great, im just saying who can replace the Beatles dude?

[Freddyels]

Rob Thomas rules; I'm 54 yrs and still I love him and "Smooth" Keep up the good work with MB20. Yeah

[Nazomi999]

beautiful and will alwayz be

[risse2595]

this is the most difficult way of life..

thse hard times...

[AngelStone7]

I love Matchbox 20 they are the best! Their songs are so down to earth, it takes my breath away. Years later, they still have it!

[leselo]

This is a writer up there with John Lennon!

[scosbor]

Maybe even McCartney! ;-)

[leselo]

why not!:-),It is really hard to get across that these guys are a modern day beatles,we don't see them enough in the UK,the words to the songs aare just so discriptive,I wish I could do it,they remind people of good times,lost ones -like paul did and on the other hand make a point like John Lennon,how many modern bands can do that!This band is bigger and I think you got my point,thanks.

[EmlynsSunNiasRain000]

This is such a nice song for when your feeling down and need some cheering up + also Rob Is really cute!!!

And he has a strong loving voise!!!

[josh12296]
