Matchbox 20- Real World Lyrics

[jjb479]

the 90s. those were the great days of music

[PetiteMissEntendue]

Luvin the word "Superhero" in this song. Haha, I can't do what he does. :P

[BostonSportsGuy567]

LOLOL not bad at all dude

[talalexny]

I was 4 back in '98.... Whatever happened to real music like this?

[lauraANDmadi]

i love this song (:

[zezimashelpr]

i think he's saying ring maker not rain maker but i got mixed up with that too =P

[RecklessDUSTIN]

@zezimashelpr So in the next line he is saying "I wonder what it's like to know that I make the RING"?!??!?!?!??!

It is definitely "Rainmaker"....

[TheChippyt456]

This isn't actually too bad for a first vid. I've seen the famous vid. makers do worse. Lot's worse.

[southlinefire10]

for the longest time i thought the title was rain maker

[ScreamingVillage]

Ive loved this friggin song since I was a little kid, one of my favorite Matchbox Twenty songs of all time thanks for posting

[Fallout3Follower]

@ScreamingVillage No problem, thank you for watching.

[frumpify]

Annontations OWN????

[addftoxic]

Matchbox 20 is a great band, I'm so glad I bought Exile on Mainstream

[kampuami]

after 14 years, i just keep listening this song...

[96aussie]

good or bad vid, this song is epic!

[rockhardnnoob]

Absolutely one of the best songs ever!! Thanks for posting!! A+++

[kayelish]

@deaftron what the fuck is wrong with you this is barely more than soft rock

[awesomeweirdorandom]

i like this song even tho i am more in to pop rock

[murfxyz]

great song - love the head honcho part at 1;50......

[draco10101]

ha you should see my first video if you think this is anywhere near bad, never cut yourself to short unless your a strict artist ;)

[nathiwa]

so I have to say that u started with a good one:):):):)

[ViperXXXXXXX]

For example: Rivers Cuomo, lead singer of Weezer, said he put his stuff out and people accepted it. He doesn't believe this is possible anymore, and can't give advice on how to become a successful singer/entertainer.

Things have definitely changed.

[mpm1985]

Great riff. Great song

[WeirdosOnTape]

this dnt suck! its rlly good :) better than mine

=^_^=

[caridova]

your 1st video rocks men!

[upyours101101]

though its a little low in volume, its clear and i can blast it. :)

[koswordsman]

Matchbox 20, one great band

[fearophobiac]

I don't remember the first M20 song I ever heard. I just remember that when my mom died when I was 12 or 13, my sister (who was 2 years older) went through my mom's CD collection and found Yourself or Someone Like you. She played it on her stereo and I realized that I had heard the first 5 or 6 songs several times before and that I thought they were really good. That was years ago, (now I'm in college), but I still love this album and listen to it frequently.  It hits the spot sometimes.

[RedSkyline]

0:20 - That should be "every one" since you aren't referring to a group of people.

[thepinappleking]

the lyrics serve a good medaphor in my eyes

[chrisstarkey88]

I think this is the first song I heard by Matchbox 20.

[braaaainz]

same here. i got it in a demo game and thought the song was part of it back in 1997

[steve6968]

Well done!!

[Mika486]

i like how you made the lyrics :D

[poeticmosher]

I love the lyrics like this. Puts the focus where it should be - on the song.

[ASCEND2ETERNITY]

"straight up"

[nellucleahcim]

i like the lyrics set up as well :)

[ablev72]

hey, i like lyrics like this, simple nd no flashy pics 6/5

[palkiabros]

Lulz yep.

[lalaland7407]

I know Rob and Marisol are so kind! That is another reason why he is my favorite singer! He is a great role model I love him he rocks!

[killerrkatie]

puts me into a good mood every time. no matter what.

[stubsfahey87]

awesome song and thanks for the upload.

[Snicki1946]

Rob Thomas is such a great singer and so talented but more importantly he is a wonderful human being. He and Marisol's foundation Sidewalk Angels does great work and they also support Pets Alive where they got their beloved Tyler who recently died of cancer. You only have to listen to Her Diamonds to know how much he loves Mari. You can make great music without being a good person, but Rob does both superbly.

[MSNIMSM]

Ahh, this brings back memories of me at 6 yrs playing at about 5 'o'clock in the summer with my friends. Good times. =)

[Zenstudent105]

For your first vid, it's pretty damn good. : )

[penguinn1nja]

keep working and go on blogs to find out cool things to do with visual effects and lyrics. Nice job!

[Swifkanator]

ahh the late 90's...

a wonderful time when gas was a little over a dollar for a gallon, and Rob Thomas wasn't a total douche.

[saintjulians]

hahahaha hell yeah!!

can you remember third eye blind?

[WakeboardForLife1409]

@saintjulians third eye blind kicks ass

[ViperXXXXXXX]

Yeah man late 90's were the shit. I'm glad I lived through that era.

[Kaotic4NickC]

got that right

[larry52333]

@ViperXXXXXXX It beats 2010 by a long shot. I swear when I was a child, things were so stress-free. Things couldn't be more disappointing if you want to think about where we are now. Matchbox 20's music is nostalgic.

[ViperXXXXXXX]

@larry52333 - Yeah stress free and simple. I had pretty old fashioned parents though. I often wonder if things have really changed so dramatically, or if it's my perception that's changed. But then I remember Bush Jr and how things have changed since he was in office.

Entertainment industry will likely never be the same, whether or not those two things are related.

[8x13Wolf]

@ViperXXXXXXX Amen. A good time to live...good time to grow up.

[francotheidontknow25]

@ViperXXXXXXX

and i'm sad i was born after that era....... =(

music these days don't have that much meaning and aren't composed of real instruments anymore

[ViperXXXXXXX]

@francotheidontknow25 - You're right. If more people your age felt the same way we'd still be listening to good music. What's more sad is that there's so many talented song writers and REAL instrumentalists that can't get a break.

[shadowcat2002]

@ViperXXXXXXX is threedaysgrace part of these true artist's?

[ViperXXXXXXX]

@shadowcat2002 I do like that band too. Thanks for reminding me, "I hate everything about you"

[shadowcat2002]

@ViperXXXXXXX what the you hate me!? lol! i love break and the animal i have become oh and that song i hate everything about you and well all there soongs :p

[ViperXXXXXXX]

@shadowcat2002 - I forgot about 'Animal I have become' also. Great song. Man they bring back memories eh. lol.

[shadowcat2002]

@ViperXXXXXXX yeah its a little nown song :p

[squirell1234]

@ViperXXXXXXX I wish I did :( was about 4 or 5 in 2000

[goldfish09]

Rob Thomas has had so much success it's like somebody put a blessing on him.

[mike123778]

why are you listening to the song if you hate it so much? get a life faggot

[Ilyforever565]

When ever I'm partying I ALWAYS make them play this song! :) its just so true about lfie! Doesn't everyone wonder?

[lalaland7407]

I know Matchbox 20 rocks I've been listening to them all my life. (Rob Thomas is SO hot with his hair cut!) And I'm not gonna stop listening to them! Rob Thomas rocks!

[ExpressAlleigh21861]

no this is an awesome video!!

[lejdcool]

heard this song for the 1st time in years in my college cafeteria, I did my damndest to get some of the lyrics down so I could find this later, luckily someone told me it was by matchbox 20 and that greatly narrowed the search, I love the guitar at the start that plays throughout. 'nother song I love that's by matchbox 20 gotta love this band

[Audra1986]

Matchbox Twenty has always been one of my favorite bands growing up. They're like, established in the 90's, but they are still really good these days. This song is one I grew up listening to. Good job with the lyrics and all. Rated, and favorited :)

[turtlelover55555]

the ferst matchbox 20 song i herd

[Kaotic4NickC]

my first m20 song ive ever heard was "push"

[Saratheinvisible]

@Kaotic4NickC : mine was "how far we've come"

[xXLivingxDeadxGirlXx]

@Kaotic4NickC Mine was Real World. =) Hence why I'm listening to it! lol

[ficksau07]

i think it fits to this nice song ... this sound doesn't need any more visual effects

[marionblanco]

the front guy was once homeless in gamecock country(columbia, sc), i hope he is loving his life now

[Kiba8700]

oh, you made a power point didn't you, oh well it's still a good song and the real lyrics.

[comedyfreakfilms]

great song i love it sooo much

[lalaland7407]

Rob Thomas' songs are so down to earth and amazing! It's so hard to pick a favorite!

[moonflower0924]

@bigbad1000do7a your a freak, nerd with no life, go get one

[OuranGirl4ever]

love this song!

[ckmckeon]

No I think Rob had some work he had done solo and instead of the whole band getting profit from it he just made it under his solo career.

[CodeLyokoViewer]

ive been wondering this for a few days,but not entirely sure,but did matchbox 20 break up?

[lysander236]

Not too bad. Please upload some of the live in concert videos

[loonytoongonemad]

Gotta love this song! XD Good job with the lyrics! I don't know what you mean by "it's not great"!!! It's awesome! XP

[ivy0x0]

[Fallout3Follower]

Thank you.

[StrawberryFizz06]

just listen..it's rain maker...

[Fallout3Follower]

Yes I know that dude. That's kinda why that's in my video.

[ghman211]

i thought it was ring maker? (at the start of the video)

[Fallout3Follower]

I'm pretty sure it's rainmaker, I've checked at a couple of websites.

[Shadow88masta]

it is..."when i made the RAIN" makin a ring? whooptedoo but makin a rain drop, which is like the planets life blood, wud make u feel....eerrr.....idk, i dont make rain

[Fallout3Follower]

What, I'm confused. it's what's its in the video, I checked the lyrics, and its "I wonder what it's like to be the rain maker."

[Shadow88masta]

wat im sayin is, it shud b obvious

[Fallout3Follower]

Yeah it should be, thank you.

[A101393]

but also its "the rain maker" not "a"

[Fallout3Follower]

Oh well, at least it's not too big of a mistake.

[OuranGirl4ever]

whos the lead singer?

[Countach640]

Rob Thomas

[Fallout3Follower]

Rob Thomas.

[Ryan99992]

video is not as bad as you trying to say most people make lyrics go to fast. great song though.

[Fallout3Follower]

Thank you.

[loreleiluli]

nice song and a not so bad video

in the end... practice makes perfect right?

[LewRun13]

nice job

great video and great song

[Fallout3Follower]

Thank you.

[TheJoe101]

You do not know how to use commas. Congratulations.

[Fallout3Follower]

Thank you for the criticism, idiot.

[ColorEmo182]

Good video! Although it said it was your first, it's pretty good in my opinion. Most people use fonts that you can't read, but I can read this just fine. (:

[Fallout3Follower]

Thank you.

[trentchau]

at least you used a decent font. Some of the fonts out there are just plain atrocious.

[Fallout3Follower]

Thank you.

[Kylefraine]

gata love the classics

[krismarie88]
