[SHAR52870]

[lachlanpudduh]

[JOEbro001]

How is dat a bout his mom???

[frozenshadow11]

is the song about his mom??

[ChosenTripster]

yea it is

[frozenshadow11]

you are my fav band

[depplover63]

i used to love them in high school and this was always my fave song!

[unknownid2008]

what a fantastic song. Their best.

[lilred2016]

it sounds like gona let it slide now by the googoo dolls

[SpazChipMonk3]

yeah i agree i think the chord progression is the same...

[RUTKN2ME92]

"And she says baby, it's 3AM and I must be lonely. And she says baby, but I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes."

Amazing lyrics. I love this song!

[eaglestriker24]

she said it's cold outside and she hands me a raincoat... she's always worried 'bout things like that...

Amen

[perkies747]

matchbox 20 just cant stop kicking ass

[perkies747]

90's was actual rock this now days this is all eye liner energy drinks and no guitar solos 90's

better man wayyy better

[webkinzwebkinz12]

yeah! mb20 was my first concert :)

[ax1x1]

noob :/

[webkinzwebkinz12]

ok search ur facts ok... MB20 is 1990's.

And for my age that concert was earlier then most people.

[theechyboy]

ha, you hit the nail on the head with that comment! Nice one!

[perkies747]

yer

they will never go bad

[Tlachape]

IM gonna have to agree with moshiemoro i havent heard a good song on mainsream radio in a long time. Although there are a few bands now that dont get recognized as good music

[odinmon1]

don't be sorry it's true

[perkies747]

yer like this 90's music should still be towering over the pathetic Jonas brothers and kid rock this is bludy gold mate cant get better and this song is what made them famous and i agree with that one of the best songs there is

[perkies747]

i dont care what anyone ses i oike it and thats that

hahah

[101caleb101]

Most of the time video concepts are developed by production companies that are involved with record companies.. I'm sure Matchbox 20's song is about one thing and the video is about something totally different. It's all interpretations.

[AnimePandas4ever]

3:05 ahh! everything was shaking.

[KrustyBass]

isnt this song about his mother getting over cancer? how does the video relate?

[mountaindewslave]

one of the best 90s songs, hell one of the best alternative songs even today (which isn't saying much considering musics gone so downhill), but yeah matchbox 20 rockks... and always will! =)

[lachlanpudduh]

seriously. it's amazing how fast it went downhill. one day you've got matchbox twenty topping the charts and then the jonas brothers and all that junk are.

[moshiemoro]

YES...music today, pure shit, im sorry.

[bgsoccer19]

music today is pure shit? im sorry but you couldnt be more wrong Coldplay Viva la Vida? Kanye West Good life? The Game My Life? cmon dude sure the 90s was good but thats over im glad musics changing dont worry we will always have MB20 and GGD

[skill77mag]

Viva La New Kids On The Block...Hehe..Jk...90's had its problems too.

[raabthemovie2]

haha

fuck ay

ive heard all of these songs b4

all the chorus's i can sing to n shit

but ive neva knew who they were by :)

n there all by matchbox twenty

haha interestng :)

[Soulard12rh]

I believe that what he addresses in this video is the mad, midnight passion that sometimes hits all of us at one time or another. You know, lost and lonely in the dark hours, when all you want is that cleansing connection?

[hotbobby90]

i dont realy under stand what it means..tell me please?

[culochiss]

he compose this song for his mother, when she was sick

[Ritsukakn]

damn i posted from my sister account xd

[Ritsukakn]

this song is my favorite from the 90's

(L)

i'm so inloooove with this song.

fdjwedkhwekdhewkdje

damn

[PepsiCenter]

the song is not good, this song is perfect!

[perkies747]

1:59 he has a vey open mouth

[theechyboy]

Sometimes when singing, it is required to open your mouth, unless you are called Britney or Madonna. lol

[wisemannwalkin]

i think this is a great song...seems simple enough on the outside but it can runs so much deeper...

[polariskid13]

good song!

[viktor4encence]

i fucking miss the 90's

[stirtz31]

i hear that, some of the best music!

[roseybarker]

This song is about his Mum. She was sick.. it makes me love him even more... what a guy.

[kura2010]

I love this song... the first time i heard it it made me cry!! well not so much... but i do love them and i think this song is genius... their awesome and i wish they came to colombia (L)

[antigallinaa]

it is very hard they come to colombia, but i am ansious someday can to come

[cobra40oz]

haha stop the video at 1:59 his face is great

[LeGrOsTaBaRnAk]

lol true

[maddudeman]

I believe the song is about the dudes mum who had cancer, would I be right lilzolo2?

[RickyScars]

thats cool GOD is my real father

[interveningangel]

Oh, this is one of my all time favorite songs! I think Matchbox Twenty is an awesome band! I'd love to see them live.

[lilzolo2]

Dante0795 : yea but did he tell you the WHOLE story personally

umm no didnt think soo yea i no him hes my dads bff : P

[Chaoscorpral]

rofl sure.

and ghandi is my uncle.

[ImStrongEnough]

hahaha, and like once a week, at least, me and obama cruise the hood

[Diodri]

Use the audio preview button. it'll save your dignity one day.

[supersweet077]

ok don't get mad or anything...but you have to admit it sounds kinda like thriving ivory..if you listen to the song overrated it sounds almost the same

[uberpirateawesome]

i think you mean that thriving ivory sounds like matchbox 20, lol, they became before so it makes sense

[Blackshelds]

i love this song

[lilzolo2]

I DO

[lilzolo2]

i bet no one nos what this songs about! ! !

[Dante0795]

Its about his mothers fight with cancer... most of us do know that.

[BETHVIEIRAPONTES]

I loved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[doggiepineda]

Damn!!! I just miss the 90's!! Lyrics back then were art compared today.....Bang my Ho...Till sweat drip off my balls!! WTF !! Miley Virus and Jackass Brothers SUCKS!!! 90's RULE!!! DAMN IM OLD!! WOOF!!

[dvd21]

there is still shitload of good music. one just have to dig it!

[interveningangel]

Hey don't feel old. I feel the same way about music from the 80's!LOL I do love the music from the 80's and 90's, but there are several "new" artists that I like as well. I think maybe we all look back to the music "of our youth" and miss it. It brings back memories of good times and good friends, at least for me anyway. And it seems like everyone thinks the music of the present generation isn't as good as theirs was. My parents thought that about mine! So I try to be open to today's music.

[ThaUniqueFlyBoii]

LOL SHIIIT..i think everyone agrees that they missed the 90's..when i was thinking i was the only one who did..well hell i was to young to even remember it..but FUCK i miss it like crazy..the parts i can remember..crush the shit outta the 2000's..this song is the prime example of how sweet the music was back then..

[northside2k7]

best song by matchbox

[alternativeflower]

I love this! The song is so simple but intricate at the same time. And he feels the words when he sings them, I think. This is my ring-back tone on my phone! :)

[ImStrongEnough]

Ah man, I just want to start the 90s again, just to make music like this again, and have people enjoy it the way they did 10 years ago, that would be amazing.

[fraser16smith]

one of my fav songs ever x

[GHumps]

haha this brings me back to like 4th grade mann.... i remember watching these vids on vh1 before i would go to school... ahhh growing up his crazy isnt it

[pepsimaxx10]

Definately, i just realized how everything has grown plenty, it freaks me out dude.

[sisteraneris]

I miss the ninetys..: sigh:

[pondereplaysucks]

yeah i miss the 90s too. it's been over 10 years since this song came out.

i always wonder if 90s music will fade away in history and be seen as retro, like 80s music is now.

i hope not, maybe its a sign we're all getting older. but i still <3 the 90s.

[thisisjustjeff]

The 90's really was the first decade of music that went digital... it will never go away.

[NabilahF]

theres an old love song from them that i loooooveeee a lot. but i forget the title. its a slow song.

[Insat00]

The cowboy is like an Interculary Chapter in ones' life, different meaning to others.. love song for everyone.

[israel1]

what a coincidence.. i just navigated some videos here in youtube... and i just looked at my clock here it says " 3am" hehe

[HOPALONG17]

good song reminds me of the 90s

[eskimobisnatch]

agreed. its like "shit, whered those go?"

[thebeasthideme]

i dont ndrstand the cowboy

[thedeibman]

lol just randomly going through songs and i click this one at 3am... lol but anyways besides that... love the song... good quality... upload more stuff man...

[sameerwaditwar]

hmm 3 am is the time the bar close it desribes childhood lonliness when his mother after suviving cancer took everything lightly n took to partying ways. beautiful yet sad song about a kid yearnin for his mother

[oconnell101hot]

[voteap]

wow! i forget how much i used to love this band

[hockeygrl24]

90's was the music alive!!!

I love matchbox 20

Goo dolls

Train and many more!!! 90s rock!!! (=

[joblagz]

i agree, dont forget the new radicals, rhcp, vertical horizon.. only thing i hate the 90s for is the boom of boy bands..

[hockeygrl24]

I tottaly agree!!!

At one point I loved ncync now i realized i had a problem.

anyways... 90s rock

[shinoda77]

If you grew up in the mid 80's to 90's you couldn't escape the boyband craze, no matter how much you denied it. lol I loved em all. Then the rock grabbed me. I loved MB20 and still do. I also think they have some of the best videos out there.

[hockeygrl24]

I so agree! I got there new cd awhile ago. I like the song How far we've come! I still love pretty much all of the bands from the 90s and still follow them. Also one of my favorite bands is train! I have been trying to follow them since they started. I love there sound! They are coming out with an album late this year or early next year I am so excited!!!!

[vansman93wow]

are you related to mike shinoda?

[ElementBCs]

epic.

[CutlerisGod39]

God damn does 90's music kick the present music's ass.

[kamalsaeedx]

[CharlotteDavey]

[streamofnath]

Yup, hands down, I agree with you... I think I'm gonna have to put a video of this one up soon :)

[GearsisGarbage]

[1karatemonkey]

[dagol666]

i agree

[sarahodwyer1]

legends, love them

[surfer53]

I probably listened to this song 50 times on the drive from my house to my ex-girlfriend's. Everyone has a soundtrack to their life.

[Aggelosy]

great song! but so sad

[scatts38]

theirs plenty of critics out there . If you don,t like a certain vid , simple ..fuck off

[loveis2exotic]

<3 this song. =3

[loveis2exotic]

go listen to some gay shit that you listen to. you probley listen to some shit you fuck your damn dog with. that's sad. i'm almost sorry that i don't care. Matchbox 20 is awesome.

[hardreocks]

top bgt

[yohaku]

Oh my God, dis song remain me my skool days. I 'm feeling old.

[supperspicy]

i love this band and song <3

[scatts38]

thanks millsy for making this vid ,its one of my fav bands and songs .great work

[pixie41]

The song is about when his mom had cancer...it's amazing. I'm a huge fan of all their stuff but this is definitely a favourite. Try looking up the acoustic version they did on VH1 Storytellers...

[everybodylovesbowie]

That's amazingly sad. Man, now this song has so much more meaning...

[steelpeech]

Awesome song, super nice band to party with....acorn mywabi soca soi lebanon sola ca!!!

[sonofgip]

the beginning part of this song reminds me of "only wanna be with you" by hootie and the blowfish for some reason

[lyndielwc]

According to the album/cd notes the lyrics were written by Rob Thomas in 1995 when he was a member of Tabitha's Secret. The song also appears on a couple of Tabitha's Secret cds. The only one of those I have is Don't Play with Matches.

[antonio4905]

wooow que rola ehh!!!

la voz y las guitarras wooow

me encanta aunque ya es un poco vieja

[5593956]

ami casi no me gustan este tipo de canciones me gusta mas tipo rock komo disturbed o korn y esta cancion es ermosa me encantalo ke no supes es si su mama supero el canser por ke kreo ke esta kancion la escribio kuando tenia kanser

[thebeasthideme]

ay por dios es la cansion mas bella que eh esuchado en mi vida ... la verdad me gusta mucho hasta lloro cuando la escucho

[exxxousia]

Actually it's an old song from some off the wall group back in the 60's and it was a flop. That's until Rob redid it...and the rest is history!!! Absolutely love it!!!

[buskard919]

Are you sure he didn't write it about his mom having cancer when he was 12 years old because according to him he wrote the song and that's what it is about.

[daleeram]

This is true.

[Domferra]

Actually he wrote the song in his first band tabitha's secret, then they broke up but paul and Brian stayed with Rob and they got kyle and started matchbox 20 and this was used as their third single, but tabithas secret played the song cause it was technically part theirs or something along those lines

[andre2robb]

how can they do music like this? they are so talented! love them...

[RicardoQ007]

great song!

[SaxManiac62]

This song reminds me of the Counting Crows a little bit.

[unclenk]

3 am ...we've all seen it,how can you not relate

[VeritoRJ1983]

I love the song, I love the group, I love your music ... I come from PERU, and tell them that I had a boyfriend identical to the only that the master too ..... I love this guy

she believes that life is made up of all that you're used to, and the clock on the wall has been stuck at three for days, and days, she thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway, but outside it's stopped raining. <33333
