Terminal Romance, is such an amazing CD. You never skip a single song, just a good CD to keep you company on these long crappy canadian highways.

i like how they only sing `whos gonna love you when im gone `` only once in the song

[louragan22]

this song reminds me of old halifax (:

[rleslievideo]

You'd think a Record Company would know how to upload videos without having borderline awful audio and exporting a 16x9 video into a 4x3 frame... nonetheless I really like this song. Really.... wish the audio was better.

[HalfLife729]

can anyone find a good version of queen portland street all i can find is live versions :(

[08EvanG]

@HalfLife729

[jv93columbus]

[samuelducanada]

This honestly reminds me of the sound the car tires make. I could hear it while I was driving.

[Katmandu82]

[AndylvsShannon]

Great song

[jeffhoskins123]

[DoozinHoozie]

I think Matt and Craig Mercer from JSB were separated at birth.

[DodgeMan360]

I wish they didnt break up. Terminal Romance was kick ass.

[CannonR1]

agreed.

[andylynn67]

Great Song !! Love the Delorean  Back to the Future !!!!

[Larryonoff4356]

Jean Jacket with sleeves cutoff is bad asss

[CuteNaughtyAngel]

Matt Mays...thank you for making me tear up. So much to relate to this song...beautiful.

[italllies]

I beg you all to listen to this song LIVE.

no words can describe it, our youth have destroyed all of them.

well you could call it classic. almost. it sure feels like a classic.

[sickwedios]

@italllies Omg its amazing he was at a concert last summer that i went two and we covinced him to sing this song twice it sounds soooooo goood!!!

[italllies]

cheers dude cheers !!!

[ure2cute09]

lovess thisss songg

[thenameless13]

DMC DeLoreans are the best

[therealsolstice]

"he's gotta sing to make the money but he just wants to play guitar"

[jimdowe]

His sound is very much Tom..

[MAPLELEAFSdennis]

Booth, you laughing cause I said Canada is talented? If so, F off eh!

[betterway10]

Impressive. You guys should go to talentwatch net.  More music fans need to check you out!

[pinkcheese000]

Im lovin' the Mays. He evolves with every CD he releases. Grab Terminal Romance, you wont be dissapointed ;)

[bootht99]

I'm surprised he wasn't driving a Brooklyn, since he's from the maritimes and such...

[pinkcheese000]

@bootht99

or or or....to Fort Mac :P

[bootht99]

LMAO!!

[adognamedbean]

The car was a Bricklin, not a Broklyn

[bootht99]

yeah thats it. i figured that wasn't it but i couldn't find the name on google. thanks.

[MAPLELEAFSdennis]

love the tune........canada is talented.

[phrydoom]

best Canadian talent going, IMO.

[rmt49]

second best ... the Novaks tear up... so do Pathological Lovers ... =D

[colkea]

is tom petty one of his inspirations? this song sure reminds me of tom petty....

[forrest49]

The intro riff is pretty cool doesn't seem to flow that well. At the same time it's unique.

[phrydoom]

I know: a chromatic scale type run from G to E and then again from an octave higher on the third string of the guitar...it was a rush to play it.

[madvlad666]

Go to the show, and buy the CD there instead of in a store...then the artists get $10 instead of $1. Cut out the middle man.

[ckendall67]

Great tune by Matt Mays:-D

[mikec222]

it's the back to the future car

[catharine920]

such an amazing song :) Love it!

[Thegreatkrok]

There's a great solo/acoustic version on this on the QTV channel. Epic.

[sickwedios]

I heard them live they are amazing and this was my favourite song

[tess55]

sick, Boromir driving a Delorean singing to Matt Mays. love it.

[Erpster]

Oh man, I knew he looked like someone. Good call.

[rewkol]

hahahah i never heard of this group until i had to do a project on them and they are right good!!!!!!!!! and i agree with thatsfunny1990 it was sweet!!!:)

[chrissept21]

so i had a little mistake

he wants the song for free

ppl like matt mays needs ppl to buy there cds

ever time you download a song for free its costing them money its like ppl where to take away your job form you

[tess55]

"... to buy there cds"

when really, you should have put "their". come on. same mistake twice doesn't really look like a "mistake"

[chrissept21]

what the hell dose this have to do with him buying a cd

lets all be fuckin grammer teachers everybody

[chrissept21]

go, *cough* fuck yourself

[thetoddbertuzzi]

just...horrible

[chrissept21]

Just.....fuck your self.

[thetoddbertuzzi]

hahaha nice

[JIPALIG]

Downloading a song isnt costing them any money, its just not giving them any.

Bands in the age of the internet need to switch thier income from cd sales (they only get about 4% of the profit after the record label have had their share anyways) to doing tours and playing shows, or make the album worthwhile so people want to buy it.

[xthantos]

to (chrissept21).."ever time you download a song for free its costing them money "--- That is not true. It only costs them money if you were originally goin to buy it, then downloaded it instead... But I agree, bands like this need you to buy thier stuff. I know these guys and they do not have money like more successfull bands.

[chrissept21]

bbut if all these people just download the music for free then mat mays doesnt get anymoney

[thatsfunny1990]

How cool is that little tap dancing thing he did at 1.28. It went so well with the song!

[tonedout400]

i walked into best buy a couple days ago and thought his album looked cool. having never heard of him or his music i bought the cd. i am completely addicted! the songs are catchy, the lyrics are great, and i find myself spreading the word about matt mays and el torpedo constantly. if anyone has any bands/singers who are similar to this please lemme know.

[natey2k4]

I'm happy for you, but I did the same thing (except Walmart), but I didn't really like them. This is the best song on the album, but its probably the worst *blind* purchase I've made music wise.

[rupman27]

OMG! Delorean!! great song by this great band..  GREAT SCOTT!

[blacktoothgrin14]

does anyone know how i can get this song. only 2 things come up on limewire and i downloaded them both and they were only 10 seconds long, with no audio at all. thanks

[chrissept21]

ya man buy the cd

fuck your dumb

[rupman27]

soulseek my good friend ;)

[1337sabotage]

anyone got a lick to 8-5-0 Commando?? can't find it on youtube :(

[atractorkid7]

[weezurblue]

i fuckin love this song

[hockeynut474]

love his music

[unholyconfessional]

Their. lol

[suther07]

Did anyone catch the Tom Petty and Steve Earle impressions. Also liked the dude hitch-hiking in the plaid shirt, that dudes a great actor. Almost as good as Relic from Beachcombers.

[somethinfeirce]

HAHA that delorian could be Julian's that he put the money in. This song is one of the best to come out in a long long time. I hope he cleans house at the Junos

[gawagirl]

LOL I just saw that Trailer Park Boys episode, so I was thinking the same thing!!!

[nclough]

a delorian?!? haha sick

[rocksweat]

who is gonna love you when im gone? said the leaf to the limb..

[guitarman030]

the unicycle race sparked a yellow kneecap for the price of 3 band-aids in an old pepsi can on the street next to the dirty homeless man. "we can all wear wings if we have the right amount of vomit in the corner of our eyes where the unicorn tears sometimes escape" said the talking bee...I couldn't agree more...I couldn't agree more...

[mattcisking]

the drummer looks like kid rock

[josh131987]

ya but the drummer is way taller then kid rock

[adam86arsenault]

lol yea

[adam86arsenault]

he look like boromir

[blackbeatlezeppeler]

i totaly agree bro, i wrote the same comment like a month ago

[gpphx]

fucken fantastic song and vid!!! saw mr. mays at the Phoenix last week, he did not disappoint at all :D

[hockeynut474]

is this canadian like me

[jcdelpaggio]

Fuckin' eh.

[courtneymoop]

the music is a bit tom pettyinsh but wow it totally rocks!

[bradvuke]

i am obsessed with this guitar riff, i play it constantly lately

[SpinalTapped666]

same, but the ladies just fuckin love it eh

[Javashakes02]

cool. I've never seen this video before.

I remember the guys put out a bulletin on Facebook i think itwas last year sometime. That they were looking for an old '80's' car to use in the video. They used a DeLorean as an example of what they'd like...

glad to see they got it. Great 'ol Maritimers

Check out the Trews

Joel Plaskett

and Chris Colepaugh as well :)

[courtneymoop]

Amazing, just amazing i love this song!

[onyhebus]

I'm catching the show in Toronto next month!

Matt sure will be surprised when I show up with Flux Capacitor. I'm not sure how it works, but Doc mentioned at one point that the stainless steel body of the DeLorean has a direct and influential effect on the "flux dispersal", though he was interrupted before he could finish the explanation. The flux capacitor requires 1.21 gigawatts of electrical power to operate... So I figure the Bass amp is our best bet. McFly.

[lquah]

I found this song after being obsessed with it for ages by searching lyrics for "Tall trees" and beautiful; apparently beautiful is how I heard "hanging over the road" LOL. But this song is great. Great intro, and I love the range of the melody in the chorus.

[polska9784]

great song keep on rocking

[jvd897]

Great song! I must say, he sounds particularly Springsteen-esque on this one.

[derkaderka58]

A great video to an absolutely dope song! This song is the best to cruise to

[blackbeatlezeppeler]

Amazing song.

Btw, does anybody else notice that Matt here looks like Boromir from Lord of the Rings?

[v0lc0m8]

he looks like foromir

[aswightman]

haha, they are good, but greatest band ever is quite a bit of a stretch

[Jtspencer234]

Hey man if he thinks they are the best then they are the best. It's all in who you love bro.

[darcybeck1]

aweseome aweseome awesome!!!! come to cb!!

[EAGLECO1994]

GREAT song! It's helped motivate me to get 16336 back on the road...so I can cruise to Tall Trees!

[Kenster1025]

love the song and the lyrics

[mrdudeywoof]

delorean ftw!

[ArtDog92]

i just discovered these guys last week and i already love a lot of their stuff

[kcm126]

Agreed. At some point MMET will be an international success, but they're dtill good ol' maritime boys ;)

[plgemerson]

in my opinion, no artist is as due for a giant increase in mainstream success

[bruce071091]

Simply amazing, greatest band ever..

[RockoSDMF]

Where we're going, we don't need roads.

[Afterl3urn]

zoooom

[aswightman]

the king of maritimes rock

[vinnyvincent74]

really good rock n roll reminds me of tom petty

[MzAlaina]

i was thinking the same thing as i watched the video tonight

[410cougar]

Awesome isn't it. I thought the same thing and then found out it was produced the same producer as Tom Petty.

[brianjca]

Killer riff.

[MzAlaina]

yeah i agree. is this their own song, or a cover? if it's their own, then props to them for being pretty much the only current band who can create a badass riff and actually stick to it throughout the song.

[jessemawhinney]

very ironic the song is called tall trees and theres isn't a single tree in the video

[doctorpatil007]

The people by the side of the road look in a way like "tall trees" that pass by. get it?

[lostcause2x]

sick video for sure, i was imagining it as another On the Hood style, but this is well done

[nerdrocket]

You're telling me this sucker's nuclear?

[KeishShep]

love it... well done boys
