Matt Maggiacomo - I Don't Want To Be Happy (Official Music Video)

[ninadotdotdot]

oh god this is so good

[thereshewrites]

I love this so much. Fabulous job!

[thewhompingwillows]

@argusfilks Thank youuuu! :) I don't usually feel this way about my videos, but yes: this particular video deserves more attention than it's getting. Kind of a bummer, but such is life.

[argusfilks]

I spy Settlers of Catan!!! And a LeakyCon badge! And oh look tears in my eyes. Uhm. Matt? This needs many, MANY more views. I love this so much.

[thewhompingwillows]

@theseenandunforeseen We were aiming for a subtle air of absurdity. :)

[theseenandunforeseen]

WHY DID HE TAKE HIS SHIRT OFF....???

[apandaforamanda]

This is a thing of beauty!

[londonderryNH]

Simple enough, what would you rather watch, one of our Town Meetings (4 hours long) on You tube, or this.

Great work!

[hayleyghoover]

I love everything about this/all of you.

[themaddestcat]

Really cute, loved it!

[Nemneyy]

Ah, Portal-Who Tshirt!

[peculiarpixie]

I already left a comment, but I love this song & video! I can understand this feeling and I'll be sure to listen to this song whenever it strikes me. This video makes me sad because it shows a missed opportunity, and I'll be sure to remember not to let my fears rule me and guide my decisons.

[rachel237linda]

Wearing Converse in the snow - is he crazy??? o_O How do you like... not have frostbite?

[RaeCharles394]

This is such a great video!!! Also, I LOVED getting to see @penguin112493 and @sharkie59! :) Did you actually visit at Sam's house?

[thewhompingwillows]

@RaeCharles394 We actually went up to EJ's house in NH, but her house became Sam's house for the purpose of the video's plot. :)

[sharizzle09]

Been listening to this song on repeat!! I adore everything about it, especially the lyrics.. I relate to them so much. I know what its like to be comfortable with being on the desperate, longing side of unrequited love so much that when finally someone sees YOU, it makes you want to run away cuz it seems too good to be true/you're afraid your doubts will ruin it and choke it/you dont think you can handle if it ends. Kind of in that right now, in fact, but Im learning to trust & take the leap :)

[adamsalyce]

great song and enjoyed the video

[wiffleclaw]

Magic paper!

[SoSRekos]

sent by AKA gaming :D

[penguin112493]

I showed this to my mom, and although she did enjoy the song, she didn't enjoy seeing me take my shirt off...

[georgeordraco]

i was loving the song, but then i saw the TARDIS and i FREAKED OUT AND LOVED IT MORE

[ZanawolfDarkLover]

This i cool! And is that what snow looks like...? Wish we had that white stuff in LV...Anyway! Awesome song and video!

[thelastgoodkiss21]

Oh man.

[thelastgoodkiss21]

Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh man. Oh man, I love this. Oh man.

[bookwizard7]

I really like this video, the song is amazing and this video makes it that much greater. fantastic job! can't wait to see more if you decide to make more music videos!! :D

[allshalldelight]

I love this song so much. =]

[thenerdhugger]

So many adorable nerdy references. I love this, and the song is one of my favorites on the album. :)

[Xoxorocherchc]

oh sam...what a heartbreaker.

[Lauen324]

Oh my God.The boy's shirt! WHERE DID HE GET IT?

[penguin112493]

@Lauen324 It was a Teefury shirt, so unfortunately it was only available for 24 hours.

[pantslesswrock]

Seriously this music video is great. Not only does it have two of my favorite people in it, it also has Sam and EJ! My favorite people, are, by the way, FailBike and Sam's Bare Chest. Seriously, though, I love this. Really good acting, some nice editing, like the layout and pace of the story, and that wall of rocks is like the most perfect thing ever for a snowball fight. So jelly of that wall. In short: LOVED IT.

[hptwilighter]

That was adorable :)

[BotheringTrees]

Sam that rock was awful for a snowball fight. It barely offered you any protection. I expected better of you.

This song was actually stuck in my head all the way home today.

[feasible]

The more I listen to the album the more this cements itself as my favourite song from it (though they're all great). The crescendo is so great to belt out singing along to it, and I relate to it just a liiiiittle too much. The video is cute too. <3

[kira902k]

Omfg Sam Harris. xD

This was so freaking cute! :) Great song, great video. I loved the whole concept of throwing the notes in the air. It worked well.

Loving this music video series. I miss you guys. Come back to Canada. :P

[thewhompingwillows]

@kira902k WE MISS YOU! And Canada!

[peculiarpixie]

onship fail scares me.

[peculiarpixie]

Is it bad that I know this feeling? On the outside, I appear to be an optomist and what one might call a hopeless romantic. However, I'm somewhat guarded when it comes to giving someone my heart. Somtimes cynical thoughts secretly creep their way into my mind. Lately, I've been afraid that maybe your average every-day person isn't capable of loving unconditionally. I've seen multiple relationships fail & the thought of feeling alone and unwanted after falling for someone and having the relati...

[MikeLombardoMusic]

This is great but the piano sucks

[thewhompingwillows]

@MikeLombardoMusic Lies!!

[MeWithAGuitar]

@MikeLombardoMusic There's going to be someone who doesn't know who you are, who's gonna think you're just really mean. :P

[ferretygit13]

@MeWithAGuitar and I am that person. What a JERK

[thewhompingwillows]

@ferretygit13 You don't know who Mike Lombardo is?! He's so dreamy! :D

[penguin112493]

@thewhompingwillows He's the guy who sings the Cheers theme song...right?

[argusfilks]

@MikeLombardoMusic I was really mad at this comment until I realized that you wrote the comment and that you did the piano for this song. Lol.

[tiicklemyfancy]

BRB picking a new favorite song.

[tallatstarbucks]

OHMYGOD IT'S SAM HARRIS.

Awesome video! Great job!

[abbs866]

The first time I watched this, I was in physics class and could not stop laughing. The second time, I could listen to the audio, so it was was better. Great job, guys. This is awesome. (Although watching Sam strip is funny every time.)

[amyevekeegan]

I love this!! Well done! :)

[penguin112493]

Eh, it's alright, I guess. I mean the guy is kinda cute, but other than that, I don't know.

[thewhompingwillows]

@penguin112493 Dork.

[tvaddict1124]

samuel, you're such a heart breaker.

[pickles4muggles]

I really loved this! Fantastic job guys <3

[erni414]

love this song and video. capture so well that feeling on the cusp of potential relationship/love/happiness/fu­ture/what you've dreamed of but being paralyzed by your fears of everything that could go wrong, and not wanting to mess up what you do have or ruin whatever semi-contentness you've established by making you almost get and then lose something more.

[onenerdyhipster]

Words cannot describe how much I love this. <3

[devilishlypure]

I love this so much.

[thewhompingwillows]

@devilishlypure I love YOU so much! :D

[LAshlieH]

I love these videos! They've all been so cute! I'm so glad you guys have been making them. They're adorable, it makes me smile. :) Please keep it up!

[thewhompingwillows]

@LAshlieH Thanks very much!

[sharkie59]

Sam taking his shirt off is still my favorite thing of all time.

Fantastic editing job! Thank you so much for letting me be in this, it was a blast! : )

-3

[penguin112493]

@sharkie59 I wanted to tell you that Matt added that in so badly, but I thought that it would have been a lot funnier if it were a surprise.

[thewhompingwillows]

@sharkie59 You are awesome and it was a pleasure hanging out with you! :D

[obsessiveblonde]

I don't which I laughed harder at, the bike-to-car moment or Sam started angrily peeling off his layers. Nice job, team!

[sabxzilla]

tardis tshirt ftw! i've been loving these music videos matt, and this one is so cute! great work!!

[thewhompingwillows]

@sabxzilla Thank youuu! :D

[thebrightone94]

First! :) Great video, Matt!

[neondreamscollide]

This was just amazing.

[KAPOWWkate]

I LOVE how much you're enjoying making music videos at the moment. They're all awesome, but I especially couldn't wait for you to do one for this song. And of course it's amazing!!!

Thank you so much for making this Matt! DFTBA =]

[thewhompingwillows]

@KAPOWWkate Thanks, I really appreciate that! I've never been much good at this stuff, but I'm finding it to be a LOT of fun. Of course, it helps that Lauren is involved. She is quite talented with the camera work. :)

[KAPOWWkate]

@thewhompingwillows She really is. You make an excellent team, guys! Looking forward to many more, I get the feeling you're not done yet! =]
