  • I typed in my name in the search bar, this is what I found.

  • :)

  • I was very touched by this video. A gay married friend of mine had it on his homepage and invited me to see/hear it. It has its impact.Matt Alber's voice is magnificent and in a romantic piece like this emotions are stirred and memories are released.

  • I'm balling my eyes out. Truly the most beautiful song I've heard.

  • Beautiful.

  • World will not end in December

  • This is absolutely one of the most touching and most beautiful songs I have ever heard! I just discovered it and can't stop listening to it or anything of Matt's. He is an incredible song writer and singer with so much passion within him that he allows us all to feel. I can;t remember the last time I was so touched by a performance. I can't stop crying as I post this. I look forward to meeting Matt one day, in the meantime, keep up the Incredible work. You make the gay community proud sir.

  • simply beautiful song and video, wow

  • Beautiful Song & Video! However, Matt's singing is dead ordinary. It sounds like a song Rufus should sing. If Rufus sung this song everyone would cry!!!

    P.S. I have no idea who Matt is I was sent here by a link on a persons profile.

  • This is beautiful. I support gay and lesbian marriages!

  • this is probably the most beautiful song ive ever seen/heard and the video allows me to finally put my self in the mans shoes where i can feel what he feels and i got goosebumps and teared up and all that. seeing straight people kissing just doesn't do anything for me. also Matt you are hot :-)

  • only nuts think world will end in December this year

  • I love this song and video.

  • Simply THE BEST!!!!!

  • awesome video *3*

  • Wow! Love it! So romantic! Great job!

  • This song is just filled with emotion. I want to have a moment to experience true romance and forget about everything else.

  • Another Rufus Wainwright wannabe.. pffff

  • Keep a song in your heart and a smile on your face. The rest will simply fall into place.

  • To all people who watch this video:

    My heart melts every time I hear this song, and I am brought to tears by this video. Though I am attracted exclusively to woman, this video shows what true love is: two people who just know.

    Whether straight or gay, when you find that person, do as these two did: embrace them like you are minutes from death every time.

    Matt, thank you. Thank you for being a man who breaks barriers with his voice.

    PS: I want an Alber/Kreis duet. Make it happen :D.

  • @tremisanthrope that's probably the best thing i've ever read on youtube

  • phenomenal,,,,,what a song that strikes me from all angles. I diddn't know what I was going to see and hear. Yet, in 2 seconds flat i went from utter confusion to tears. My god......

  • oh man please pass the kleenex..I love this song

  • 31 people don't have emotion.

  • @SPDLST If they had no emotion they wouldn have voted as they wouldn have cared one way or the other

  • December / 20 / 2012 / 11:57:29pm

    ill be waiting . . .

  • I watched this while eating my lunch and now I cant finish it because I am crying and I all choked up..how beautiful..grab what time you have left is what I get from this beautiful song

  • I just got turned

  • I keep coming back to this video - long since saved to my channel. I think it's simply because it's one of those ... you know, ... Great Songs. I really do.

  • Quite beautifull. Sadly AOL has another article today showing a 16 year old kid that commited suicide for being gay. People like Matt need to be applauded for making videos like this, which helps people to see that being gay is not a terrible thing. We are capable of loving and being loved just like anyone else.

  • Yet another obsession to add to the pile I've built here for myself. I wish I knew you, especially after watching many of your videos. You're inspiring, articulate, beautiful, talented, and intelligent. So I'll just go ahead and playlist your youtube repertoire and contemplate how incredible our planet can be to produce abject tragedies like the holocaust, all while still having creations of awe like Matt Alber up its sleeve, waiting in the wings to make lives like mine that much more enriched.

  • The day we met, 40 years ago, seen again in this man's song, this film.

    Why. . . this must be happening all over the world.

    Life is beautiful.

  • 31 people got their ear cut by the barber.

  • I love your music!!! Thank you for being a phenomenal musician and a wonderful gay role-model. I saw your performance with the Gay Men's Chorus of Houston and loved it. I hope to get to see you live again soon.

  • Just love this song!!!

  • achingly beautiful in every way!!

  • @Mr129michael -- thanks so much, Michael =)

  • peace and love for all the world, "Erga omnes"...

  • One of the most beautiful songs Ive heard in a long time. Although the video would lead one to believe its a song about two men, when its really about two people in love, if it would of had a man and a women it would of got more airplay what a shame it didn't reach a longer crowd of people one would have to give credit , Mr. Alber  stayed true to his convictions.Billy Joel should re-record it and Mr. Alber would get the the Money this song is worth.

  • Quite romantic.

  • What would really be funny is if he were gay at all, but wanted to make the video more memorable.

  • True love is real no matter the form. Better love than war anyway in my opinion.

  • You can watch this same video on YouTube without the commercial AND in 480p. It's much better. Search "Matt Alber End of the World Director's Cut."

  • I rarely comment on performances, videos, etc. but I feel compelled to do so here. This whole thing- the melody, the lyric, Matt's voice, the arrangement, the video itself is so drippingly gorgeous, so movingly sad, that it had me in tears when I viewed it last night for the first time. I see that I am not alone here and that many commentors have had the same reaction. I awoke this morning thinking of it and in watching it now had exactly the same experience. It's a true work of art. Thanks!

  • @ThatMysteryPianist - I am often very moved by music (darn my Mother's sentimental genes), but I rarely cry. I didn't cry listening to this either, but I was damn close and the eyes were clearly blurry (is that an oxymoron). It reminded me of a roller coaster ride I took a long time ago and we fell off. But it was many, many years ago now and I expect to be over it any day now.

  • @ThatMysteryPianist sure is nice to hear that. THank you!

  • I HATE the mormon comercial before the song... maybe because I despise mormons, but the song is nice!

  • AT 439,852 I click on "I like this"

  • WOW! :) AWESOME. :)

  • I add this almost like my signature in many cases. Why? what the am i talking about. I dunno. But this song done this way with these visuals these guys the setting the expressions-------------------­-GOT MY NUMBER!!!

  • Ironic that they look like Mormon missionaries. LOL Love it.

  • This is the most romantic song ever <3

  • Love this song and it tells just how I feel about the new loves in my life.. I love you Robert and Joe...

  • rufus wainwright?

  • Beautiful. Reminds me a bit of Rufus Wainwright. Thanks for posting this.

  • Wow.

    A truly universal message told in a most beautiful way.

    Yes, my eyes are tearing up right now. Deeply moved.

  • A friend told me to look for Matt Alber and he wasn't kidding. Powerful and impressive voice delivering a powerful and impressive message. Absolutely beautiful. I hope I can hear this man in person someday soon.

  • I'm in LOVE with this song, brings me to tears every time. xx

  • Nobody can tell the future, how can anybody say the world will end in December 2012. It seems it is publicity stunt.

  • This one of the most beautiful songs and videos that I have ever seen!!!! My emotions definitely flow when I watch this video, but that is a good thing!!!!

  • Thank you for your beutiful voice....your amazing lyrics and that wanderful music, it spekrrght to my heart. thank you

  • Matt, I saw your show at the Q Center in Portland recently and as it always does when I listen to your music, it touched my heart and soul. After a long while, I watched End of the World again and once again, I cried. It is beautiful and I thank you for bringing it into our lives. Good luck on your tour and stay safe.

  • This is a beautiful song, a wonderful video and a chilling preformance. I cried, Im not afraid to admit it. Ted Holland, Onalaska, TX.

  • Breathtakingly beautiful. Well done, Sir ~

  • WONDERFULL VIDEO

  • Let's live and let live : )

  • Let's live and let live : )

  • Thumbs up if you are watching listein to this after 6:00 pm.

  • Love this video man! The song... love it!!!

  • *swooon*

  • what a stunning piece of work

  • Since there were no gay overtones, I was somewhat baffled as to where you were taking me until the young man entered the scene and you glanced at him. From that point on, it was pure rapture. My heart was pounding in my chest so loudly, I thought I could hear it. By the time you two were dancing, I had goose bumps all over and the tender kiss at the end...... brought tears to my eyes. I am 68 years old and forgot what it was like to feel romantic. Thank you, George

  • @Calul that was so sweet what you said.

  • Before I watched this, I had no idea what it was about or who you were. The simplistic prelude hinted nothing; my mind was a vacuum waiting to be filled with what, I had no idea... The music gave me a strong indication that I was in for a roller coaster ride. When the camera focused on your face and you started to sing, I tingled with anticipation.

  • waw amaaaaaaaaaaazING song

  • Comment removed

  • Matt, That's just beautiful, the way you express, your voice, the song, everything. This world have many people who don't acept the gay, why care about that people, the most important thing is that we're happy and we know that we're not doing anything bad. The love is the most beautiful thing, and everybody have to know that a man can love another man. You're amazing Matt

  • The best thing about this is that Matt takes the time to reply to comments, this video still makes me tear up!

  • This is one of the most beautiful and moving things I've seen and heard in a very long time.

    Thank you, Matt Alber, for this wonderful gift.

  • Such a beautiful song, both music & lyrics. I've listened to it so many times I have it memorized. I love how "I don't wanna" becomes "Don't you want to" & "a dying romance" becomes "this aching romance" & so many other shifts & subtleties.

    In the video I love how your open shirt & tee become, with a shave & haircut, a coat & tie—a perfect use of poetic license, so that the lovers can dance & fall & fly.

    Thanks, Matt. I’m featuring your video on my channel & hope to see you perform live someday.

  • Thank you

  • CREO QUE ES UNA DE LAS MEJORES LETRAS QUE HE ESCUCHADO....

    SENCILLAMENTE PRECIOSA.LASTIMA QUE NO LA PUEDO BAJAR.

  • QUE MELODIA MAS HERMOSA!!!!

    SENCILLAMENTE MUY BUENO......Y ROMANTICO.

    TAL VEZ ALGÚN DÍA TENGA UNA EXPERIENCIA DE ESA FORMA COMO LA DEL VIDEO..SERIA MAS QUE SUBLIME.

    PERO LA VERDAD ...ESTAMOS EN EL PLANETA TIERRA Y ESTAS COSAS OCURREN EN EL ESPACIO EXTERIOR.

  • QUE MELODIA MAS HERMOSA!!!!

    SENCILLAMENTE MUY BUENO......Y ROMANTICO.

    TAL VEZ ALGÚN DÍA TENGA UNA EXPERIENCIA DE ESA FORMA COMO LA DEL VIDEO..SERIA MAS QUE SUBLIME.

  • QUE MELODIA MAS HERMOSA!!!!

    SENCILLAMENTE MUY BUENO......Y ROMANTICO.

  • @UBrant thank you Brant.

  • Still loving this song. Still loving this video.

  • this guy sounds like Rufus Wainwright. 

  • i think that this is wrong concept "GAY"

  • OMG este video es hermoso....

  • i love this song. watched the movie, the new twenty, and this song was the only song that stood up. theres something about his voice that takes you into the lyrics and the melody of it all. what genre is this? i love it.

  • @dannysimion that movie made me search for this song on here too.

  • @dannysimion genre? It's a ballad, love song. That's what genre it is.

  • Beautiful, romantic and hopeful. Thank you for doing what you do.

  • @G6157 Glad to know that, G!

  • @vitor1967 maybe you guys should meet for a drink?

  • Nice! Beautiful!

  • NICE!

  • Absolutely love this song. I keep playing it over and over. Matt , you have an amazing voice. I want to know where i can get the music to this song, not that i could do justice to it after you have done such a perfect job of singing it. I keep listening to it over and over again. Beautiful.

  • I love this song and was looking for it. It’s in the scene in Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom when Noah and Ricky are on the patio talking, and snow is falling, and Noah asks what it is about snow falling at night. My favorite scene in the whole movie. The scene and the music is magical, it transports you. I love the line when Ricky answers the snow is like “Gods’ Diamonds sprinkled on Black Velvet” . Ricky's reaction to Noah's coming marriage reminds us that the heart is a lonely hunter.

  • gah this made me cry. heartbreaking and beautiful all at the same time.

  • GREAT SONG I FEEL SO GOOD JUST TO HEAR AGAI AGAIN

  • After listening to Matt explain the rational for the song, the video makes perfect sense. "Everyone deserves to be loved and the chance to fall in love". Two souls who've been down on their luck meet by chance, love at first sight. "...I've got two tickets left and so do you. Instead of giving love away to some stranger, let's make them count. C'mon lets get back in line again and ride the big one."

  • Just discovered this song and artist. I'm a bawling mess. This is a beautiful song. Matt is a beautiful vocalist...and he's pretty hot too.

    I'm very moved. Just beautiful.

  • you know, I love this song but the video is a bit distracting for me; it has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song. i guess some songs are better without a video. on the flip side though, it is beautiful, especially the dance between matt and the other actor.

  • Really awesome song. Definitely worth hitting the like and add to button ^^

  • This is just such a beautiful song, and then combined with the beautiful video...

    It's perfect.

  • If you like Matt's video you will probably love the sentiment in this video - search for Bjorn Borg Love for All

  • Yep, I'm another one who keeps coming back to this video, and finding myself weeping like a baby by the end. The song is just such a perfect heart-wrencher, and the video captures that so perfectly. Oh to be swept off one's feet like that... and the way it so well fits the whole rollercoaster metaphor in the lyrics just makes it all the more powerful.

  • Crying.

  • Just had my heart torn in two. Listening on repeat. Thanks, Matt, for this masterpiece.

  • @fooboto raising a toast to ya for your next love, Foo.

  • Saw Matt earlier tonight here in Austin. Wow. It was amazing. I cannot recall ever going to hear someone sing where EVERYONE sat in such rapt attention for every word. Thanks for a wonderful evening Matt.

  • @krivoniak you guys were wonderful to sing for =)

  • Absolutely beautiful song and lyrics, and even more moving video. My husband and I had tears in our eyes watching it, as it brings out the romantic in all of us! Hope we get the chance to see you perform live someday and look forward to more wonderful moving songs from you!

  • We're SO looking forward to seeing you in Austin on Jan 16th!!!

  • That is so beautiful.

  • Thank you, Matt, for producing this thoughtfully and carefully done video. From those of us who are older, it is especially moving because this sentiment was so forbidden when we first came out. It is such a pleasure watching the video and hearing you sing about a universal emotion, but particularly poignant when we are gay.

  • @TomLibby100 my pleasure, Tom. So glad it meant something to you too.

  • I have to say, this song is pretty lame...thank god for the dance mix...it turns the melody into something more interesting...and doesn't sound as whiny...this, of course, is just my opinion...

  • @JusticeCorbin - Speaking of WHINY! Only people who are personally devoid of art and music leave nasty comments like this on YouTube. It never ceases to amaze me how the internet makes it possible for folks to become self-appointed arts critics, spouting off their lame-ass opinions, as if those lame-ass opinions have ANY redeeming value whatsoever. (Of course, this is just MY lame-ass opinion.) Now run along and write a nice song for us and then post it, okay? We'll let you know how we like it.

  • @steviejaylifelovesex You know what's funny...i'm entitled to my opinion, and I'm entitled to express my opinion where and when I feel like it...Just because YOU don't agree with me doesn't mean YOU have to be nasty to me...Not everyone HAS to like or praise this song. People who can't accept a difference of opinions are so worthless.

  • @steviejaylifelovesex and another thing...if someone likes this song then their opinion is of redeeming value...but if they don't then it's not...? Who the fuck are you, really? What makes you the appointed messenger of defending a song or artist, as my opinion should really have no effect on you whatsoever...You're not Matt Alber, and I'm not criticizing one of YOUR videos, now, am I?...

  • @JusticeCorbin thanks for your honesty, J. -Matt

  • @JusticeCorbin I think you entirely missed the point of the song and the melody.  And because of that I feel kind of sad for you.

  • @vanessafabulay You can feel sad for me...but wouldn't that just be a waste to feel sad for someone you don't know? FYI - I didn't miss the point of the melody or the song. Having an OPINION about it is irrelevant to the point. I'm actually allowed to dislike something. I have an individual mind that allows me to do so...

  • @SeanRMXD That's the thing--an opinion is "I like it" or "I don't like it." But to call something "lame" tells at least me that you don't understand the song or why it was written the way it was. But by all means, please enjoy your own opinion.

  • @vanessafabulay "lame" is an adjective - usually opinion based. To say "I don't like it" is too vague for my personality. I'm sure you yourself have used some opinion based adjective's in your lifetime.

  • I loved this song long before the video. I fell in love with this song when I saw the video. A hopeless romantic, I hope that I will find a moment of equal love.
