  • Dang dude. Good shit. 

  • MUCH RESPECT !! KEEP REACHING FOR STARS

  • Definately changed my life about 5 seconds ago.

  • i love this song! like a nice deep breath of fresh air during a crap day

  • i love this song! like a nice deep breath of fresh air during a crap day

  • Love his voice. 

  • Ditto what kingtouchdis said! I was just browsing Candyrat artists... and DAMN!

    This is like back in the good 'ol days when music was good! Just when I had lost faith in mankind's taste in music, I run across this gem.

    Keep it up man, the world needs more of this.

  • WOW!!!!!!!!!!

    NEW FAN RIGHT HERE!!!!!!!!!

  • Even better live!!!!!

  • why is people like justin bieber famous with millions of views on youtube and this guy only has 190 thousand....this is talent..

  • Wow.. It's been 3 long years since I came back to comment on this song. And I still get goosebumps from this man's long range of vocals. Just amazing really.

  • @702CitY He does have a real amazing talent!! Great Vocals and you could feel the heart n soul he put into it.

  • 4 ans et toujours aussi beau !

  • Seeking purity indeed! :) Love this song! This song keeps me going after a shitty day (= Hope it does the same to you other listeners!

  • One man show, no need for a band.

  • beautiful

  • i love this man so much for his talent this song is just incredible ...santos' voice....magnetic.

  • i notice that there is twenty three dislikes to this song... well all i got to say to that is fuck right off with your dislikes you bastards, this is my favorite song

  • I decided to give his stuff a listen after all his great features in Lupe's songs and its no wonder Lupe uses him so much. This is one of the most heartfelt, emotional songs I've ever heard. It's a truly beautiful song and why he hasn't become a breakout star yet is most perplexing to me. Unbelievable. Keep up the greatness Matthew.

  • @LuPESmyNIGGA "It's a truly beautiful" you said it!

  • beautiful

  • REPPIN SW!!!! SIX ONE TWOOOOOO

  • amazing.

  • I Wanna Close My Eyes. Take Off My Pants. Pour A Glass Of Lemonade... And Just Let Lose To This Song!!!!

  • I see why Lupe has him in many songs

  • Love the voice... Compliments the wonderful guitar work. Like JMZSIL said, nice to hear more than three chords. Great stuff!!!

  • This guy is probably drowning in pussy

  • It drives me nuts how BASS AKWARDS the mainstream is and how ignorant they are to true ARTISTS like Matthew Santos. Check out my solo acoustic page on myspace and keep supporting the REAL ARTISTS in this world!!!

  • @joeychapman1987 Santos actually did a song with Lupe Fiasco just after Fiasco started getting recognized for Kick Push. I'm not sure if he's been involved with anything else that could be considered mainstream since then, but I'd presume that getting involved in that one song alone was thanks to CandyRat promoting him. I think the song was Superstar or something.

    I still like his old stuff better. This has been one of my favorite songs for years, literally.

  • @ManicRevelation he still does stuff with Lupe here and there.

  • ive been trying to get this song down perfect for 3 and a half years now and i still am not man enough.

  • Whoosh! What PASSION! In the melody, Lyric and PERFORMANCE!

  • For some reason, Santos was pretty much the only guy on Candyrat I had ignored.

    Gonna have to change after that...

  • I haven't felt love in a while,

    Starting to wonder if it's outta style <3

  • Sssoooooooo Beautiful!!!! Your voice and music style is awesome!!!!! I am a new fan as of today. Thank you

  • AMAZING voice

  • Refreshing guitar work. Love it when someone can use more than three chords. Melodic voice also.

  • Fabuloso..Há muito tempo não escutava uma voz tão bacana..

    Parabéns

  • loved his feature on Superstar and love him solo. Want this...no need this cd. he reminds me a little of the singer from muse and some parts like Rufus W the way he pronounces some words. My ears are very very happy.

  • Lovely song!!!

  • Matt should be more famous!

  • he gots a great voice

  • Damn.....where has this guy been. This is music. He is proably one of the better singers out there right now!!!!!! Thank you very much for posting this vidoe and lyrics.

  • @sveissable I agree totally underrated!!! Pure talent

  • Songs like this, Youtube should have a Love button. :)

  • Very good!!!

  • Why he isn't fucking huge is just beyond me.

  • Comment removed

  • does anyone have the lyrics to this song? if so could you please post them?

  • Interesting changes. That was really nice.

  • Now i bought a guitar. i've started to learn how to play these music. maybe it's something new what he's doing.

  • best singer/songwriter from Candyrat

  • That is a very hard comment to support. Not because he is not good, but its way too subjective!

  • just my opinion!

  • @skatefarmerftw He is really good, but don't forget that Regina Spektor went through CandyRat back in the day. That's some pretty heavy compitetion for writing. She's a damn fine poet.

  • soo beautiful : )

  • love your music man!

    :+:JAMAICA:+:

  • yo también lo pensé aunque suena bien de todas maneras.

  • his music is slightly different to what i expected when i heard him in 'superstar'

  • Beautiful...

    I know it's been done a trillion times but i'd like to hear this guy do a cover of Hallelujah... Just to see what he'd do with it yano :]

  • i heard this guy through lupe fiasco's music and honestly his singing makes sum of lupe's songs better ha

  • what a great artist. He's one of those who should be in the place of all those fake MTV's.

  • @alfaromeu Thats what makes him so good, its like beautiful people who dont know or reconize they are beautiful that makes them more beautiful ;)

  • this guy's music is so honest and earthy.... it just sounds so natural! it's wonderful. thanks, matthew!

  • Epic voice.. heart felt performance..

  • i feel like this song was in a movie anyone know what one?

  • prob his bst song

  • beautiful

  • Matthew, i have heard your music for a few years.. It all started with you having like 3 videos on youtube.. And now.. Omg. You got more then 300 videos on youtube were you are singning live stage and with lupe fiasco..

    I just want to say, congratulations too your great progress, you earn it.

  • Epic

  • Congratulations...You've just managed to become my favorite!!!U r just...ah...no words!

  • wow nice job, at first I thought "oh yay, another boring country singer," but then you started sounding more like some Radiohead. Well done.

  • ya why does something beautiful need to be driven with a goal?.......why cant a talented person express themselves without you putting words in their moth....its very easy they do and here is an example hate if you like the song will be beautiful long after

  • haha *mouth because i suck at typing

  • awesome, it's so cool

  • What's with all the hate? This is a music video, by a talented young man... he says "seek out purity, rid away with hate"...etc... come on people...just listen to the music and stop talking about religion or politics. As my friend says: Enjoy maadi macchas! love, Leah from singapore. :-)

  • Nothing against muslims...like i said. Just the religion. And i don't like any religion. I believe religon is wrong. And I am not alone by that.

  • I love his work with Lupe Fiasco so I just decided to check out the solo stuff. Just ordered his CD :)

  • learn about the religon before you say anything you uneducated fuck

  • I think he have learned about religon as everyone else have been educated in school..

    And i agree with him, i think religon is wrong..

    Think about how many people that have been killed because of the religon..

    The only reason i belive it's good about it, is that people can gain support, and hope of their god.

  • religion is not wrong, what your talking about is politics, and mixing religion with politics is what 90% of people do, people in charge dont give a shit about religion its just a lever they use ....

  • You cant really say that religion IS wrong/right.

    Everyone have their own opinion about religions.

    So you mean, when talibans sacrifices millions of people to their god..

    It's just politic?

  • they dont sacrifice people to God, learn a bit more about it, you americans think you are here to save the world, talibans are just rebels, if there wouldnt be taliban, afganistan would be already under control of russia or america, i mean do you really think that your government sends troops there to free the country? to help them? do you actually thing they give a shit about the country or they are making war profits......

  • Havent you heard the Blow yourself and go to heaven with 72 virgins?..

    btw, im from sweden.. And i don't really love america ethier.

    Great country but bad politics.

  • Then you can SAY it is right. Only that it means that you think so.

  • lol

  • Inspirational. I don't know how many times I've come back to watch this video. 5 stars all the time.

  • I wonder how he learned to sing like that...

  • Practice.

  • This dude is so soulful, love him- NO RAINBOWS...jus respect him, thats all

  • truly amazing, as every song he has written and performed :-)

  • i think you might have some gain issues on your end mate =)

  • him am lupe are awesome in the cool, great voice

  • lyrics would be cool

  • another gray fall day teetering on the edge of rain got my green shirt and jeans, teraing at the seams and i sit at this cafe, wondering which way Im gonna stray to get away from the pain of the same old thing ran away with me as far as we can see meet our destiny thats my remedy like the ageless sea seeking purity now i bought another girl sunflowers asked for one and they gave me two they were feeling quite yellow and i was feeling quite blue
  • i havent felt love in quite awhile starting to wonder if its outta style or maybe Im a fool for letting it go run away with me far as we can see meet our destiny thats my remedy like the agless sea seeking purity seeking purity run away with me far as we can see meet our destiny thats my remedy like the agesless sea seeking purity
  • these are backwards (read the bottom first then the top one) srry

  • Parabéns!

    O Brasil também acompanha sua música.

  • Does anyone have the lyrics from this music?

  • For god sake! You're great, dude! Keep doing this for us!

  • chords anyone? please? I got F, G, C, and possibly E

  • IT goes F, C, G, Am, F, Am, G then after a bit the chord right before the chorus is E then the chorus is F, C, E, F, C E, Then the little bridge thing he does at 3:00 Dm and he does hammer on with his pinky then he hits A then he goes to F then E then back to the chorus

  • Thank you so much i really appriciate it

  • Brother your awesome!

  • Most of his songs make time stand stock-still for me (including this one). His raw talent, his positivity, and his unending style and nuance makes me feel like I'm catching candid (and so beautiful) glimpses of his soul. I just ordered his CD, "Matters of the Bittersweet", along with a few other Candyrat gems.

    Just wanted to reach out and say: Matthew's music is brilliant and genuine, and I hope he's around for a long time.

  • What a truely talented artist.

    Keep on beeing yourself and bless us with your wonderfull music.

  • Kind of a cross between Springsteen and Thom Yorke of Radiohead, Brilliant stuff tho..

  • a little bob dylan and ray lamontagne to me but good

  • i don't think you understand, he's not like these kids who get on youtube to impersonate his favorite artist he's not tryin to sound like anybody he's an artist in an of himself he sounds like matthew santos

  • thank you kindly jhuggins27, your open mind will hopefully inspire others to take an artist for what he or she is worth instead of offering obvious comparisons. i am grateful! b well.

  • 這視頻我聽好多遍了 一直聽不膩

  • Don't worry he'll get exposure. He's Part of First and Fifteenth (Lupe Fiasco's Rap Group?)

    He featured in big hits like "Superstar, Streets On Fire, Fighter's, etc" he hasnt been around to long... so don't rush it
