[1969billstrong]

@1969billstrong RAINBOW PROUD HERE~

[SunsetShadows1]

[TayGob]

I was 8 when I first saw this video. 11 years later, my feelings have not changed-MAN, is he hott!! ;)

[Lester284L]

did m night shamalan direct this?

[14purduefan]

Best Matchbox song in my opinion!

[robertjamesgallardo]

I see sex in him, though he's not even half naked

and I am a man.

[MenishaBSays]

Rob Thomas is UN-BE-LIEVABLY sexy in this video!

[adroitgenius2]

i dont understand the video

[gmerlot62]

what if he's giving voice to his wife,talking about her feelings of living with her illness and sharing her life with him?

[Slipsnob]

@gmerlot62

What illness? o__o I must know!

[FANofMB20]

@CoolConejo not really. its a love song. its a codependent love song. its pretty much saying "We're both fucked up but if we are together, everything will be ok"

[CoolConejo]

@FANofMB20 yeah, that's what i said.

[MsDadvocate]

833,025 views only?

this song needs more love.

[DonnaSunAgain]

@MsDadvocate I lovingly and profusely, agree, my friend! *D <3!

[McMaGGoTs]

Nostalgic



[MsJellybeandream]

Rob Thomas is just plain out sexy!!!

[CoolConejo]

Its about a guy who can't seem to right his wrongs and one thing after another he winds up in the same bad situations. It's just a song everyone can relate to.

[roningunman56]

it's like a crappy music video from the 90s...released in 2006. MB20 is still a guilty pleasure of mine though :P

[CoolConejo]

@roningunman56 This song came out in 99 i think. 2006 is just a Copyright Renewal or a change in the copyright etc.

[franciz1994]

love it ,i can relate

[lilstuntin420]

lol I love how buddy comes n snakes his cash, throws his wallet beside him, and rob thomas gets up and doesn't bother atleast grabbing his wallet :P

[teddypicker12345]

i'm bent.... HAHAHAHA love it's british connotations

[TheRaleyman]

THIS IS MY LIFE. everyday, im hit by a car, have my money stolen, get bumped in crowds like im invisible, get up close in some guys face, get pushed around, walk through really powerful winds, then go into an alley, where suddenly, it changes from day to night.... and get chased. then beaten.... and then it repeats... fun huh?

[josephrocco8]

@ MDwallace2011 -lol, the band def didnt make him, dudes vocals are phenomenal, that might be the dumbest thing a matchbox20 fan ever said,

[MDwallace2011]

Just one of my favorites of Matchbox 20.

[DlABL0GlCAL]

powerful

[Hassenmusic]

wow.. this video from back in the day when i knew better times would come!... and i still waiting!

[envoy3]

Whatever happened to these guys? Had such amazing hits.

[TIMTREGOMUSIC]

@envoy3 new album coming in 2012

[gameaddict51]

@envoy3 Rob Thomas went solo.

[MDwallace2011]

@gameaddict51

The band made him but his lyrics makes the band..

[gameaddict51]

@MDwallace2011 Huh?

[maykol33]

Rob! we have to go back in time. You left your wallet on the ground.

[witezluv]

I thought it was "how we will live, with you and me livin', without understanding..."

[TheRandomFox13]

Does anyone know the correct lyrics in the end? The lyrics I found on the web don't sound right to me. To me it sounds like: "... and this is how we will end, with you and me landing without understanding. Hell, I go there again..." Anyone? :)

[badboey4444]

nerdy cowboy......hahaha

[tdbrown1963]

OMG, that happened to me back in the early 80's. I went to jump on the back of a

57 Chevy, and I flew down to the pavement, back of my head first !!

[whytegirl1977]

when my sone was like 3 , when he hear this song start he would come running tosee and hear it...memories

[lovenote11]

he is gorgeous. 

[carlostheunicorn]

MUCH LOVE.

This's on repeat.

[WizardJedi0007]

one of the best songs ever! and i love it when rob tells paul "could you sympathize with my needs" and paul's like wtf?  :P

[hdccheer77]

vevo sucks



[mzmupz]

LMFAOOO dude has on a cowboy hate, socks, & slippers. nice.

[natzprimavera]

epic!

[BrandonB1X]

I also like the part: where the guys offers to help him, but he ignore it... like hes not there.

[BrandonB1X]

why did that guy with the glasses and cowboy hat. slap him like that in the video for no reason? I also like the part where hes running right after him... and he throws him down kicks him while hes down on the ground. next thing you know is he gets up and acts like nothing happen awsome vid.

[wholelotofleavin]

I don't get it... what is this song talking about?

[southport97]

Their best song IMO.

[jacobswoman]

god how well does he read my mind. Love Rob hope he starts to perform again like he used to.

[minaalXIAO]

d best ever video

[htosetti]

Aahh.....



[61SGman]

its weird how the verse's are so dark and the chorus is so uplifting

[zone1282]

i feel really old this song came out in 2001 year i graduated for HS. where does the time go.

[ValentinSuperThug]

How many times is Rob Thomas gonna get chased? -__-

[snyp3rseth]

Not a fan of a dude wearing two ear rings, but this song is beautiful.

[lorena0987]

:(... I love this song.. really deep in my soul :3

[aidenrocks247]

This video is an example of my life. xD

[johnnysherwin1]

stupid video

[snyp3rseth]

@johnnysherwin1 The fact that you do not appreciate it does not instegate an asshole response. Grow up.

[ventilatedzygote]

0:28

HAHAHA is that the best stunt double they could get?

[TheSkyyVolta]

@ventilatedzygote For real. That dude was a little chunky to be Rob Thomas! Not to mention his dark brown hair!

[MsBeeCoz]

@ventilatedzygote I'm sorry! I don't remember asking for your opinion. Feel free to keep it to yourself. :o)

[ventilatedzygote]

@MsBeeCoz Jesus called, he wants his narcissism back.

[ventilatedzygote]

@MsBeeCoz Do you understand life? I think you hate life and so you go around trying to consume as much as possible, waging passive-aggressive warfare on those who directly or indirectly burst your little fantasy bubble, wallowing in futility, trying to fill the void of your soul with premature spiritual ejaculation so that you can go on forever without facing the silence or thinking about your own mortality or your consequences upon the world.

[wholelotofleavin]

@ventilatedzygote right... Rob ain't that fat hahaha

[sergiothelifeguard1]

@ventilatedzygote i dont get it...until he falls to the ground I can see only his chin..otherwise he looks ident

[raemdespairbringer]

@ventilatedzygote hahahaha the stunt even has a beard

[UOmetropark]

it should have been matchbox "21"..

[rose4490]

I really love Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty. Great songwriting, awesome music and Rob & the guys always look so hip it makes me feel like it's okay that I spent nearly a month in the Psych Ward at St. Dominic's ;)

[samzuelz]

@rose4490 time to put you back in the crazy box...

[jjenne1]

@samzuelz lmao!

[ramrod20042000]

Rob Thomas is just an amazing songwriter! Just listen to the lyrics to "Bent", "Unwell" and "3am"

[TheRawChicken]

Why did he cut his hair? He was so flucking hot in thi video!!!!!!

[lvpeckerwood]

if i wanted car insurance or a chainsaw weedeater i would look it up ,corporations are force feeding me subliminal messages through commercials when i try to listen to my favorite songs,theyre making me "bent".........its off to The Gits for me

[TheMFan92]

@lvpeckerwood You should listen to Unwell. Hahaha it sounds like you can relate.

[JamalDOA]

Before October of last year I had not heard this song for almost ten decades. I was driving in a remote area in Georgia where radio stations are hard to pick up. And it was eerie, because the song had just popped into my head for a few minutes. And then I turned on the radio and a few seconds later it began playing. I guess its just one of those coincidences.

[JamalDOA]

This video is from the year 2000, guys. The 2006 (C) is just a copyright renewal. It was posted here on YouTube in 2009.

[EvolutionOfTrance]

why does it say copyrighted 2006? didnt bent come out like in 1999-2000? and thats when the video came out too..

[6383830]

@EvolutionOfTrance video was posted in 06



[EvolutionOfTrance]

@6383830 it says video posted on Oct 26, 2009

[biggied007]

@EvolutionOfTrance The video was made in 2006. It was posted in 2009.

[EvolutionOfTrance]

@biggied007 I recall watching the video back in 2000 when the song first came out, there's no way it came out in 2006, that would make no sense. Why would the video of a song released in 2000 be out 6 years later? unless WMG bought all rights to the video IN 2006. Wikipedia says it was released in 2000.

[southport97]

Love the guitar riff at the beginning. Great song, and album for that matter, that started out the decade with promise only to watch the last 10 years of music devolve into pathetic goo of bland.

[bboydevs]

good song and the video is so poetic on how some of us are doomed to repeat history if we dont face our past....

[MrJerryw08]

Love this band

[MatchboxTwentyOFCL]

@MrJerryw08 Same, love them with a passion, grew up with the Matchsticks, but in all honesty I hope the new album will be amazing also.. Not like Exile. Anyway, you should check out my channel, Im uploading alotta rare MB20 stuff, live shows, acoustics, etc etc.

[gardyngurl]

this song is about being a little "messed up"...it's about needing reassurance because everyone thus far has treated you badly.

[horrormovie616]

Matchbox Twenty always was and always will be my favourite band! Love them sooo much! Rob Thomas rules!!!!

[Empire895]

damn you YouTube and your commercials

[DisasterRachael]

why does he never take his top off?! :(

:P

[superanimefan275]

how can there possib;y be anyone who could dislike this song??

[blueeyes5221]

Man, it just wasn't Rob's day! lol

[chaeliin]

ME ENCANTA ESTA ROLITA¡¡¡¡

[011azr]

Good song but horrible MV. What the music video message???

It doesn't have any correlation to the song. Damn!

[OakesIUP]

@011azr really? The song itself is about, atleast my interpretation, a guy who doesn't have much going for him. The "we" is about him looking at himself. It can be taken as looking at it as if "we" is a love of his, but if you look at the video and take it as he is looking at himself from the outside it works. Nothing is going right for him, he is trying to look for some help within himself to get through these times.

[godsmackfan1]

@011azr Has everything to do with the song. Just quit waiting for the meaning to jump out at you and open your mind along with your eyes and ears. Not everything should have to be spoon-fed so that everyone will understand it immediately. Rob Thomas is an extremely intelligent person and loves to make people think about things a little. Apparently, he lost you there...lol

[011azr]

Does he use autotune?

His voice really shaped. If he doesn't use it, then he has really awesome voice. DAMN!

[leashaj0117]

@011azr Type 'Matchbox 20 Bent Live' in the search box and you'll have your answer......it's "NO." Unlike the majority of today's popular artists, Rob doesn't need auto-tune -- his voice is fantastic all on its own.

[zafiras88]

@011azr Check out his live acoustic performances. No autotune, just really great voice. One of the rare ones.

[petitaxica]

tiempo buscando este tema..me encantaaaaaaaaa..

[dawnsinpa]

MatchBox 20 rocks and I love Rob Thomas. Anyone that has anything negative to say about MB20 is a moron!!!

[heyman537]

Don't worry about the haters .... just love the lovers :)

[jcs7566]

start bendin me on till I'm completely broken in.... how can you not appreciate that?!

[jcs7566]

start bendin me on till I'm completely broken in.... how can you not appreciate that?!

[MaStErGuRuBaTiOn]

do you think all the people that liked this song were bent? i'm bent i loved it!

[SeasonSweetheart]

Lol, why does everyone have to get so mad when people dislike the songs? Jeez, that's why the buttons are there. To express opinions.

[lookinatpixels]

I simply LIKE this song, do you, shouldn't be so complicated...

[xodiex]

Nice Song, i really like his style.

[Flushedfaced]

Trippy never actually saw the video before. Great song none the less!

[Flushedfaced]

Trippy never actually saw the video. But great song none the less!

[Petelover25]

I had suck a huge crush on Rob After seeing this video and I was like ten.

[echo666]

Team genius made me youtube this

[brizzo0614]

I wanna Kill that Motha Fuckkkaaa who ran Rob over in this video rofl. ;))

[sexyEmma4u]

Its only the likes of MATCHBOX 20 and EARTH CULTURE that have restored my faith in kick ass music!!

[Sunnyshar28]

One of my all time favs....Such good vibe!

[gunpei]

very memorable guitar lick at the beginning. will always remind me of junior high back in 2000.

[SlitMouthWoman]

Run Rob! Kyle wants more money!

[LannyCalifornia]

im gonna get that stupid miracle whip guy!

[videoslue]

why did rob thomas go on his own?

[gwm666]

Happy B-day!

[shanashley17]

thank you very much for the message nefersukia..:)your definitely right the more we stick together it gets worst..but at this moment i need to think of it thousand times if im going to let him go because we have a child who will be more affected if were going to break up..and it hurts me more if that separation will cause too trouble for my child..his the only reason why i will stay in this relationship for now..

[HippieLOVEbutterZ]

this makes miss high school... i dont understand why i went through a phase that i didnt like them...

[Shelley3Belly]

@mataman47 Cute cat.

[claud0697]

While this song is playing the time stops

[What1sY0urPassw0rd]

Music should be like this

[potterfan74]

I love this song. Timeless!

[mataman47]

yeah, there's alot of immature teenagers on YouTube, just posting stupid sh@#%. I agree with typewritertom

[Shelley3Belly]

I would do more to Rob Thomas if he were laying right in front of me..

[mataman47]

@Shelley3Belly yeah, you would give him a blowjob, huh? Yeah, he's a good looking guy.

[tonebeatz24]

Rob Thomas and Matchbox Twenty have always rocked since the 90's luv them

[zay100grand]

FCKIN AWESOME! Now thiz is wickedly decent! 

[MyShan17]

This is a very nice song..i can always relate in this situation in the world today much more my relationship with my husband..he keep on breaking me in..no emphatize..whatsoever..things getting more complicated between us...i want more space..this is not my real world..happy nope..full of difficulties..its hard to imagine but im here now..so to everyone out there who wants to get married be sure that the person you married is the right person for you..

[Nefertsukia]

@MyShan17

Honey, if you're not happy with him... If he mistreats you and can't sympathize with you... You know what the best thing for you is. No one should stay stuck in an unhappy relationship. After a certain point it only gets worst! Be strong. Stand on your own, do you really need him? Out there might be someone who actually deserves you!

[Missknowitall77]

@MyShan17 - I relate to this song too, but I am just as guilty as my husband. Now we are trying to fix ourselves, but there are alot of slip ups mainly by me but he's having his fair share of mistakes. I know I need alot, but he told me he would be my rock. Now things have changed. We may be bent, but not broken. If you really love him, don't give up on your relationship until you are sure that's what YOU want.

[moonica666]

start bending me, keep bending me on...until i'm completely broken in! 

[soccerchic7ful]

Two things:

1.) Was the wind really necessary?

2.) Does Rob where colored contacts?

Cuz in this video they are brown but on the cover of "Cradlesong" they are blue.

Good song though.

[Housemdfansrpgadmin]

@soccerchic7ful He had his pic changed for the cover of cradlesong, if you notice his hair is also lighter than usual.

[dermisdaniel]

@soccerchic7ful You know, when that song came out i was like 14 years old and i had a horrible teenage living with the bullies, the humillation and all that cliché crap. Back then, the thing that more surprised me is that the wind thing ACTUALLY HAPPENS. It must be related to the self steem thing, cuz everry time i went to the street the freakin wind didn't let me walk and the people around me were unaffected. Time later, when i learned to love myself, i barely flied in that wind.

[blueeyesaf]

Rob's bent, bow chicka wow wow. Had to be said.

We all already know that one person's garbage is another person's treasure.

You supposed to be giving a review of the video not of the other comments.

[91nickt]

love that sick a** riff and drumbeat on this song! this song as a whole is amazing!!

[DDbRowN67]

awesome

[kaitaaa1993]

did that guy say he doesnt know wtf hes talking about and then he called him a mother effer?

[TheDestinyless]

Come on Rob, the guy was shorter than you!!

[whisper2ascream333]

damn he had one hell of a terrible day...

[Missknowitall77]

@whisper2ascream333 - last two months of my life have been that way

[whisper2ascream333]

@Missknowitall77 aww i'm sorry to hear that =[ I hope things are better now

[Missknowitall77]

@whisper2ascream333 - Thanks, Some things are getting better.

[Abizzygyrl]

Bent is one of my favorite songs EVER. Singing what's in my heart... mind. Not to mention he's always beautiful.

[Vannyvulcania]

Today...I´m feel BENT in my life..all for a bad Love :(

[Vannyvulcania]
