  • I like it but he sounds an awfully lot like Ben Nichols from Lucero. Not that I think he's ripping him off but he almost sounds like him a hundred percent. Like if Ben Nichols voice and Ryan Adams voice had a baby, funnily enough.

  • I just recently came across matthew ryan. hes great ! i have all his albums now and he just keeps getting better ! im from northern ireland and weve never heard of him before (hes a clash fan too). im converting all my mates !!!

  • Any how who are these guys? I follow a few local groups and these folks are great. Love to see them at Stubbs or Cowboy Jim's.

  • does anyone know who directed this video

  • my mom's boyfriend just passed and his name was matthew ryan :'(

  • Nice to find this video. I did a couple of writers' nights in Nashville in the late '90s and Matthew was by far the most talented of the bunch. He was a pretty nice guy too.

  • It's true what they say. Nice guys finish last. This guy is awesome!

  • Ryan, WELL THE HELL R U MAN?

  • this song is so beautiful!!

  • geil!=)

  • The result of my investigation, Matthew Ryan is nothing less then "Above NORMAL", and cute as a button:) As Joe Hill stated, one of the greatest writer's of today. Peace

  • The movie: "The Florentine" with Michel Madsen and Virginia Madison and others on cable channel "IFC" right now, but I missed most of it. I believe it has a song or two from Matthew Ryan in. Is this true? It is coming on again tonight. I will repost for the fans if I hear him.

  • I am a big fan of Matthew Ryan, I have been since May Day. Yet, I have to admit, that when your talking about a larger audience he is lacking something. I am not surprised the major labels have passed on him. He looks awkward and doesn't even make eye contact with the camera. Maybe that was a directors choice in the video but if you also look at some of the live shows of him I notice some of the same things. There needs to be more character.

  • I knew this guy had talent and vision when I heard this song. Once I saw the video, I knew one more thing about him: he's batshit crazy. The body language cues are classic for a person trying really hard to hide the fact that they're hearing voices. Take my word for it or show it to your favorite mental health worker. Once you know what you're looking for it sticks out like a sore thumb. Puts the lyrics into perspective, as well.

  • You write in no uncertain terms. Even his newest albums has the same pervasive melancholic feel as all the other albums. I like Mayday because it was a bit more rollicking at least in parts.

    What really makes a great songwriter is the breadth of the songbook. I think of Leonard Cohen and Townes Van Zandt to name a couple.

    There are still candlelit rainy nights where I put on his music and wished I still smoked, so I could stew properly to his music.

  • I watched the video you posted and see why you are Familiar with Mental Heath Issues. I have Known MRyan for some years and he is very normal. He is a loving father and very kind and generious. More normal then most. Get off his back.

  • I've been studying mental health/mental illness for years, and I'd have to agrue you on this. His body language is very expressive, adds to the music, nothing about this video would make one think the man were mentally ill.

  • Comment removed

  • Mayday is a great album with a beautiful coverfront and Concussion too,with a different sound more oriented in a nocturnal sound.

  • So powerful.......

  • So good. Love this man's music.

  • One of the best out there. Bright Eyes-good, Tom Waits-good. You cannot stop this man. He keeps writing stunning song after stunning song.

    The new songs "Jane..." and "Closing In" are some of his best yet. He blows me away with every release.

    Too bad Universal (I believe they bought A&M) couldn't pull it's head out of it's ass and market him right. What a shame.

  • this vid is timeless!!!

  • I love this video, it's raw, just like the song. So cool. Great song.

  • is the best song forever

  • I first heard this song in the film The Florentine. Incredible. Love the black and white of it all.

  • Just became aware of Matthew Ryan. I recently came across his rendition of "Little Drummer Boy" truly unique it's become one of my favorite versions , style of the song a little Bob Dylan like. I would love to add it to my play list . If someone has it could they please post it, I would really appreciate it allot. I also like the David Bowie/ Bing Crosby and Jars of Clay versions of "Little Drummer Boy" Posted here on You Tube. Thanks in advance.

  • How nice to see a video for this song. A co-worker of mine recently turned me on to Matthew, and I've become a die-hard fan since, snatching up all of his older CDs one by one and trying to find whatever else of his I can. Can't wait for the new MRVSS CD to drop! Matthew Ryan rocks!

  • This song floored me when I first heard it. I'm a huge MR fan. I have all his albums. One of the only artists that when I hear he has a new one - I'm there to buy it right away.

    His latest "from a late night hi-rise" is awesome. Including a great version of "Providence".

    I've had the chance to meet him on two occasions - really great, nice guy.

  • This is the first I've heard of Mr Ryan and he absolutely rocks. This is a great song. The young man is in the best tradition of Southern-bard-anarcho- rouge-nape story tellin' rockers. I've listened to all I can find on line and have ordered more-RAVE ON MR. RYAN, RAVE ON - Hold true to your course.

  • Mayday is still one of my top 5 favorite albums(cd's) of all time. I never knew there was a video of GUILTY either. Are there any of IRRELEVANT, DISAPPOINTED or CHROME?? In any case, Matthew Ryan is a GREAT songwriter & performer & I hope he'll continue putting out great music!

  • Not that great a video, but an amazing song from an truly great album.

  • Some of you folks dont have a clue about real music. This guy has been my fav since this album was released 10 years ago. Shame more havent heard him.

  • Great video from one of the best albums ever made.

  • This is the first Matthew Ryan song I'd ever heard, but didn't know there was a video to it. It's a great song, and the video's pretty awesome as well. There's definitely a certain beauty to it.

  • Incredible song!

  • Enda you are right...This is something great

  • Make comments on the music or quit, stop wasting our precious time with all your bullshit. Go to a chatroom somewhere please.

  • Hey, Bob Seger, Jr: this is a very well done video. Videography was excellent, transitions are cool, loved the song & voice. There's just one thing - man, your stage presence is like watching Joe Cocker on sedatives. You need at least one more move, man! Great job, though.
