Mat Kearney - Ships in the Night

[boiseblows]

This has got to be one of the awesomest things I have ever seen. It makes me feel that if I had been the one holding the camera for a friend that wanted to do something as crazy as play a song on the streets of Times Square (I've been there once and it looks the same at 9 PM as it does at 3 AM) I would know that person was truly incredible and I would be proud that I was there with them. That probably doesn't make a lot of sense... oh well.

It's also awesome that the cop was so cool.

[JBieberLove1994]

highlight of this video: that dude...lol

[323triton]

@JBieberLove1994 Great song but your right, dude was the highlight lol. Kearney reminds me of Chris Martin sort of tone wise.

[therandomchick1996]

@JBieberLove1994 ikr!! lol i put it on reply (that part only) like tons of times and laughed!!

[migrant18jm]

Saw him at the HOB New Orleans , he got off stage and gave me the mic to sing .. Highlight of my year thus far !!!!

[wazzupdubai]

I see Lebron James with the devil horn!!! 

[Mikeno21]

I dont think any of the people even knew who he was, thats why they didnt really look at him, just thought he was some guy playing guitar in Time Square which im sure happens often.....Kind of funny. He is a great artist, wish he was more well known! Great Song!

[ThisIsCarsonian]

I love the studio version and this one! Matt the first time I heard you was on RadioU. You have an amazing talent

[GriffinPets]

Can you do a studio recording of this??? Its amazing.

Keep making music.

[Crazylogan101]

this version is way better than the original... just sayin



[GeeWheeBaby]

Not gonna lie, if I saw someone randomly playing on the street, I would NOT think they are famous. BUT Mat Kearney is one of the few people I would recognize.

[fire26000]

I think that's pretty cool that he was there and he didn't get attacked, but kindof stinks in the same way, ya know?

[speedoluver]

Can mat get any sexier?!

[Stokedish]

What?! How can nobody stop and be like "My gosh, Mat Kearney!" C'mon people, you're in the presence of a musical genius!

[Baconface11111111111]

Air1 plays him he`s really airtist!!!

[Baconface11111111111]

@Baconface11111111111 he`s a really good artist!!!

[5233filmstar]

[tetegi]

[02047874]

The bustling NYC city night-life in the background, flashing billboards, neon lights, sirens and Mat singing "ships in the night" in amongst all this chaos is just EPIC!!

[amzyangel92]

If I walked past Mat Kearney.. and he was singing.. I think i'd die.. in a good way x

[sumNkim]

He really is amazing.....people are missing out...:( blah..

[Poppyvoldemort]

[MegNmedia]

Love you Mat Kearney! Your music is amazing, and your voice is just so soothing. Such a talented guy. 

[MrBigryan55]

Most amazing musician ever.. Saw him at Webster Hall and it was hands down the best concert I have ever been to..

[elishalib]

i can roam around the internet looking for something to do, but i always ended up back here listening to this beautiful rendition.

[delilahck]

Sweet! Must've been a lot of fun and pretty cold, too.

[OliviaCourtlyn]

this is one of my favorite songs. mat is so incredibly talented.

[WordsOfReverie]

Was he doing sign language in the beginning?

[anlaactor]

[lynndn]

Perhaps the subway will be a better location?

[giggs102]

mat kearney needs to go work with the kin. go check em out. AWESOME band.

[MiamiMarlinsDynasty]

Incredible artist and more importantly an incredible person. Saw him live after his City of Black and White CD release and waited outside after the show for about an hour to see him. He came out and met everyone else who stayed, talked to us, and even took pictures and signed autographs.

This IS music. Mat Kearney IS true music and a pure spirit. Wow is all I can say honestly.

[hchatt8]

Speechless.

[missambita]

I would be flipping the flip out. He is so wonderful and so real! Love it!

[g0ttaluvtennis]

I love this video! Mat sounds amazing as usual. Can't wait to see him in concert again! <3

[HPWhoseLineAvatarMJ]

Best song in the world !

[Feebackfive]

Incredible!!!

[hurricanefreal9]

[BMoney985]

SOO GOOD! Keep it Up!

[misssupreme]

Ahhhh amazing :) 

[macmechanic707]

You inspire me Mat. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[xlauren4]

how are the people so natural? i'd be like "omg thats mat kearney" and pee myself

[lindgren07]

@xlauren4 He's totally underrated in my opinion. Not incredibly well-known. One very well-known song. People are missing out BIG TIME

[Baconface11111111111]

@xlauren4 odd.....



[syd4242]

mat you're awesome. this is one of the most real videos i've seen- and my favorite off of young love. thanks for sharing great music with the world.

[TCMRB]

I love the random dude who comes up at the 2:18 mark and starts rocking out with Mat haha

[whoscameronmcc]

ps is audio out of sync with the video :/

[SkylineWreck]

This is just incredible. A great performance on my favorite city. Makes me feel so good. :)

[sfjoseph]

Mat, I discovered you and your music with "Nothing Left To Lose" exactly 5 years ago as I moved to NYC. "Ships in the Night" is my theme song ever since Young Love came out. Words can't express what seeing you in Times Sq performing it live is making me feel. Some sort of a closure in more than one way. You are truly a life changer. 

[chelseazip09]

what i wanna know...is why no one around him is excited. i would be pumped to see him if i was walking down the street =)

[whoscameronmcc]

goosebumps for always and ever!

[bobsish2001]

love this song, im trying to get my acappella group to do this, i think it would come out really cool.. hopefully mat will this comment and contact me back.. i tried reaching out to him via facebook but nothing

[MidnightCobra014]

love this... one of my favorite songs off young love. met him while walking in boston it was seriously amazing he is such a nice guy.

[itsmaddie94]

Once Upon a Time promo behind him *.* hihi. i love this song, one of the best songs ever!

[gridsgobackagain]

oh i love this..... you're just the guy mat.

[56eldorado]

Love this song, and the lyrics, hits close to home

[JRferra]

This song is one of the best song I've heard in my life, seriously no joke here.

Like ships in the night, you keep passing me by

Just wasting time, trying to prove who's right.

And if all goes crashing into the sea, if it's just you & me

trying to find LIGHT.

[trapt29]

First! Thanks for the vid Mat, fan forever!
