  • @RachB81 - No, I thoroughly disagree. If you need proof, listen to Shiver. Or Fix You.

  • Does not sound like Coldplay. Coldplay is just Chris Martin going blah blah blah behind acoustic music being played loudly over his singing on purpose to cover that fact.

  • WHAAAT?! wowwww the whole time i was watching this i was like ohh this is so cute. the ending just made me so sad :(

  • neil from imbertweeners jus saying

  • i don't think he sounds like chris martin at all! :s is it just me? lol

  • @MyannaLB try comparing their voices. Put a Mat Kearney's song and a Coldplay's one. Listen to them one after the other or at the same time. You will see!

  • @ProdigyRD23 i can't explain it properly to you because my native language is not english, but mat kearney's voice is rougher that chris'; just to me maybe x)

  • That is not Vanessa Carlton!! just put her name in here and watch one of her videos (like a thousand miles or white houses) and you'll see it isn't her! her overall frame is much smaller and none of the facial features are the same.

  • Good for coldplay ripoff!

  • You know what I just realized? The music video seems like it's in slow motion, but when he's singing, his lips move with the song??? What the dush? Now that I think about it, it's in other videos as well!!!??? Whoa!

  • there is a light in your eyes, in your eyes. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

  • Beastly Movie!!!!!

  • Q'orianka Kilcher wow... She was so incredible playing Pocahontas in The New World. Hard to believe she is Jewel's first cousin...

  • Hello Everyone!

    It’s Music that’s keeping me alive.

    My life is so difficult and the only thing to forget my problems is the Music.

    All of you will think I’m crazy but you’re wrong

    Because singing and writing I can be who really I am.

    I’m so grateful because now I can smile, dreaming, screaming. (And I owe it all to music and to god)

    Well, I made some covers and I just upload it to my channel and I’ll be grateful if you stop by my channel and check it out.

    Thank you so much!!

    

  • He should be way more famous than he is

  • @madzmarlene

    agreed! couldn't have said it better myself.

  • follow me on twitter (: @mmmatush_

  • Coldplay is overrated. I love Mat Kearney<3

  • Video similar to Coldplay - The Scientist

    Voice similar to Chris Martin of Coldplay

    Mat Kearney looks like Leo Messi ;DD

  • It is very difficult NOT to draw comparisons to Chris Martin when the resemblence is so striking. Watch the Yellow video, they even have similar mannerisms lol.  Anyway, back on topic, this guy is just outstanding and deserves more awareness. Tell all your friends! Share on FB/Twitter, share on Spotify. Don't keep him to yourself, however much you want to :o)

  • Isn't that the Indian girl from Neverland

  • @FreeYoungsters Not to mention the girl who played Pocahontas is that movie with Colin Farrel.

  • I'm in love with his voice, I could spend all day listening to him.

  • Perhaps Chris Martin sounds like Mat Kearney...let it sink in

  • @chardo6 I don't even like Coldplay, I'm sick of being comparing him. Thank you for pointing this out :)

  • I found this by mistake on VidZone on my Ps3, it was maybe my best mistake of 2011.

  • oh i just schmoozed..

  • its uncanny how much he sounds like Chris Martin

  • hum rahon ki dhun mein chaltein rahein

  • heard this song on 30 rock, youtubed it right away!

  • sexy voice

  • She is so lucckkkyyy!!!!(:

  • OHMYGAWSH, Mat Kearney please marry mee!!!<333

  • sounds like Chris Martin of "COLDPLAY"

  • @xcerlow i think the same everytime i hear his lovely voice

  • @xcerlow mat's in my opinion a better sanger

  • @xcerlow You don't say...

    Why do people like to point out the obvious, do you know?

  • @xcerlow thats who i thought it was

  • @xcerlow you mean Chris Martin sounds like Mat Kearney right?

  • I want to choreograph a dance to this song it's so beautiful.

  • I wish it was like this....if you died, you get a chance to say goodbye to your loved ones....

  • vintage grey's anatomy!

  • Enjoy this great artist quit whining . . .haha

  • hey, why does the viewer bar just show how many times I've watched this?

  • How is this guy not more famous.

  • Its supposed to be about the music so why doesnt everyone just stop their bitching and actually listen to the music!

  • sounds verylike chris martin

  • a guy proposed to his girlfriend at a mat kearney concert last night when this song came on :D

  • OMFG people just shut up and listen to the music

  • ...most likely he picked her because she looks very similar to a woman he used to date before marrying annie sims.... who the song was probably about....

  • Just so everybody knows, her name is Q'orianka Kilcher. She does play Pocahontas in the movie The New World. She is actually not native american. He mother is swiss and her father is from peru. She is a wonderful actress and likes to play in smaller roles. Maybe she just wanted to be in a music video. I like this song. i like this video.

  • 28 people didn't breathe in and breathe out and then suffocated.

  • Colonizing Americas? A hero for using a minority in a video? (not like they're famous on their own *cough* Beyoncee, Shakira). -.-The comments are getting ridiculous. Not to mention irrelevant to the artist. Ever think maybe he chose the person best qualified? Not because he wanted to insist on white dominance in some screwed up metaphor about dominating Native Americans or even to intentionally support minorities. He was able to see beyond race, into what a talented actress she was.

  • @SuperChalek intentionality doesn't matter. Regardless of whether or not Mat Kearney and his team wanted to make a statement on the subjugation of Native Americans shouldn't be of concern to you or any one of us. We live in a post-colonial world, and in such a world, white-minority portrayals will always perform a certain way. Forget objective truth for a minute - subjectively, this video shows the inherent "i'm-white-so-its-my-duty-to-h­elp-the-inferior-races" mindset that has plagued history

  • @ifartalot93

    I understand what you are saying, but I think he would've done this same video regardless of the race of the actress. And I don't see anything implying her race is inferior. HE collapses on the ground, so if anything SHE would be superior to him. And I think generalizing that all whites hold the opinion that they are superior is more racist than this video which happens to have a TALENTED minority. Just because she's a minority doesn't mean there's some secret meaning.

  • @SuperChalek It doesn't have to imply that whites are superior and the primitive natives are inferior..our position and mindset in this world is a result of factors affecting both space and time..you cannot argue against that when explorers arrived to the New World there was this sense of 'let's HELP them because we're civilized, advanced, etc'...that's a fact. As a result of this and countless other socio-historical factors...

  • @SuperChalek ..... anyone who accepts to view the world in a post-colonial lens, will have to acquiesce to the somewhat cynical view that any representation of interracial experiences will always perform white supremacy. I'm not saying PixieGirl, or whatever her username is, is right..because she made a very bold but baseless statement.. but I am saying that you cannot dismiss the fact that history has coerced us to this conclusion..we have very little agency in how we view this video

  • @SuperChalek that's regardless of whether YOU like it or not and regardless of whether Mat Kearney wanted it or not. Its the performance of the piece that matters, not the intention

  • love the music, not fan of the video. casting a what appears to be a native American woman and he's a white guy makes me think of white people colonizing the Americas. then white men marrying native american women in order to "breed out" the native people's race.

    him featuring a woman of color in his video doesn't make him a hero.

  • @psGFXtutorials dude r u joking?! i mean he wasnt even thinking about that shit! ur sick in the head because honeslty this music video is about someone leaving and the other person having a 2nd chance to live their life! if u were a REAL mat kearney fan u wouldnt even care about HER u would are about HIM! GET OVER URSELF!

  • @psGFXtutorials wut.. you're reading way way to much into this. step away from the computer now.

  • @psGFXtutorials rascist

  • I just saw him perform this live almost a week ago, and he sounded exactly the same. What you hear on the album is his actual voice, and he is just a funny and cool guy that delivered the best performance I've ever seen. I can't understand why he's so unknown.

  • wow, she looks like pocahontas

  • @dukeraoul100 LOL. She really does. I love how Mat chooses a girl with a more different nationality, instead of some random Caucasian model.

  • I saw him perform this live last week. It was one of the most spiritual experiences I've ever had. It made me believe in love again. Thank you, Mat!

  • I've been looking for this song for YEARS now, only remembering that the music video was about a guy that was hit by a car and then walked down the street to see his girlfriend and that the song had the word "light" in it.. I just forgot the artist and name of the song, and I've been searching everything trying to find it since, but only found similar songs and videos till now when I suddenly found it by coinsidence :P It's not like how I remember it, but it's good :D Made my day! :) (Y)

  • hey look out everybody, you should look up for fracx remix, not a spammer, just saying :)

  • he looks like that guy from the today show matt something...

  • most underrated singer

  • @danedane9

    It irks me when people say "underrated" instead of "overlooked".

  • There's something about Mat Kearney that reminds me of Chris Martin of Coldplay...

  • i met him in cleveland the other month :)

  • @clipp15 How did it feel? Did you inhale and exhale like he said to?

  • it is "light" just listen to how he pronounces other "-ight " words... =)

  • nice lyrics...

  • ohh whaa?! that's Princess Kaiulani!

  • love this song!!!!!<3

  • He should be recognized more his voice is amazing :)

  • ME GUSTA!!!! <3<3<3

  • Awww shiz no pulse. Call 911, get an AED!

    jkjkjk

    I love this song, (:

  • uma musica fantastica para algo fantastico...obrigado a ti

  • now THAT is how you sing to a deaf girl

  • i heard this on 30 rock just a second ago!

  • nice..still i prefer the DnB remix...

  • So i'm watching Beastly...just realized that one of the song's playing in the background is this one. It made me so happy to hear Mat Kearney. <3 He is just damn amazing.

  • @alwayshope85 :D My comment is right below yours!! I was watching Beastly yesterday and realized the exact same thing. When I looked at the soundtrack and found Mat, I said I have to look for this song!

  • @cockykid1234 haha that's awesome. It's crazy how certain artists stand out in movies. I've been listening to A LOT of Mat here lately. And I wasn't really paying attention to the movie, and freaked out when I realized it was him I heard in the movie. :) He is a great artist!

  • @alwayshope85 Since I know his voice really distinctively from 'Closer to love', while watching the movie, I heard it and had to look for the song name. I enjoy his music and I'm hoping he'll continue to make more songs so we can hear them in movies and freak out :}

  • I think this video is about hi m dying and he goes to see his girlfriend to tell her through his spirit that's he's okay. Even though he has passed, she'll always be strong and hopeful. Love this song!!

  • I also hear Chris Martin

    and kind of looks like "The Scientist" with the 'walking and stuff

  • she had an eargasm 1:54

  • Greys anatomy

  • There is a Lie?

    There is a light???

    I surely hear Lie....

    But all lyrics is mostly with the Light version o.0

  • @JoachimHStenvold then you must be deaf. I always clearly heard light.

  • @chakaling He sings "There is a lie"

    I've heard the song so many times now, and there is no "There is a light"

    Try listen to the song without singing.

    The ending on the word light isn't there. the "t" have been cut out.

  • @JoachimHStenvold The "t" is a little bit of, though, it may give the impression of Lie, but he is there, very subtle. But I don't think it's worth arguing about, the song it's beautiful no mather the words. Here we agree, right? : )

  • @chakaling Well, can't say its light, but the song is amazing :P, thats why i said that you had to listen to the song, instead of singing to it to hear that it's no light there :P

  • @JoachimHStenvold I must honestly say that when I first heard this song, I believed he was saying light. When I read your comment, I could hear what you were talking about and I do agree that it sometimes sounds like lie instead of light but, if you read or listen to the other lyrics, light is the one that makes sense with the rest of the lyrics in my opinion. But that's just me and I agree with @Chakaling that it is beautiful regardless! :)

  • I could just play this song over and over again

  • Oh noes !!! 26 people forgot to breathe out D:

  • its princess kaiulani!!!!!

  • 26 PEOPLE ARE DEAF AND BLIND !!!! OMG .

  • @JoelltJ or are just blind and missed the like button.

  • Im sorry for this question but its hard for me to understand english songs. Could somebody help me to understand the meaning?

  • @pandevida1001 Every song is up to interpretation so there is no one answer 

  • nice song -.- but his vocal cord is a liltle messed up

  • @1234Sufee LOL ur dumb. r u famous?

  • jack donaghy brought me here

  • i have honestly been having lots of trouble figuring out how the words of mats songs have anything to do with the videos

  • @ThomasJPlums

    yeah, same for Creed, lol

  • Chris Martin and Mat are secretly brothers

  • the girl thats in this video played in a movie called princess kauilani its about when the princess of hawaii loses its throne to the us saying its no longer a nation anymore

  • I see a bit of Chris Martin in this bloke :)

  • why do this song has only 1 450 843 views? it's really sad to see that, Mat Kearney should be more famous to make more people happy as i am now:)

  • Only Tosh can wear that deep of a V-neck. :p no but really great song. :)

  • k i was looking for this song for ever under coldplay......wtf? this guy sounds just like coldpay!??????

  • nice but , were is coldplay band same voice

  • great music! thumbs up if you are whatching in 2011!!

  • Q'orianka Kilcher! I <3 her!

  • Thumbs up if you listen to this song because of 30 rock ^^

  • Pocahontas!

  • @FruitabuX I thought the same thing exactly! she looks JUST like Pocahontas!

  • look up: Caught Me By Surprise - Scott Harrison (Original Song) or watch?v=2sENLaQsdnk

  • When he smiles ever so slightly. Gahh I love him.

  • this reminds me so much of the video for yellow by coldplay!!!!!! except this has a city behind him and in yellow there is an ocean

    

  • Totally in love with this song!!!♥♥♥

  • I love the camera work in his videos. "Nothing Left To Lose" song and video got me out of bed and a deep couple month long depression and off on a great road trip one late fall before the amusement parks closed. He's so charming… But since I'm a guy I don't like how they always hinge the video with some stock pretty girl. Even if I wasn't gay I think that would bore me. "Count on me" off his latest album needs a video now. Good stuff!

  • the girl is Q'orianka Kilcher, half peruvian half german

  • Grey all the way!

  • @ccirkka hell yeah

  • replay button=RAPED

  • What album is this from??????

  • Actually the lady's name is Q'orianka Kilcher. She is a wonderful actress and has been in films such as "The New World" and "Princess Kaiulani" and has scored roles in TV shows such as "The Sons of Anarchy" and "Madison Heights".

  • They should edit that out the vacination thing on her shoulder. It's way too visible and totally detracts from the scene.

  • @thetaxiucla what are you even talking about??

  • The weird thing about this song is that my CIVICS teacher told me about it and this song is amazing!!
