  • why are people always arguing over religion? people just need to respect each other's beliefs and if you can't do that, then don't say anything at all. seriously. bye.

  • Couldn't have said it better myself

  • To lieekail... I was talking to superfreak2011 because he/she was saying that they could believe in Jesus without religion.. Sorry if I offended YOUR religion...

  • i love basically every song by him<3

  • if you choose to believe in Jesus and God and have a loving relationship with them, then you WILL be following a set of rules. If you truly believe in Him and have a relationship, then you will want to live for Him and by living for him, you will live by a set of rules. I don't think that made sense.. but hopefully it did. God bless :)

  • Haha exactly what I think.....man you kick but......exactly what I say......you dont have to follow the rules........choices and whatnot.....FINALLY I SAY FINALLY I hope you have a kicking but day....I Love You, Garett

  • i think it made sense. :) i believe in God and Jesus. :) Man we are so blessed by God it's amazing, even if sometimes the things God asks us to do is hard...God has been showing me some things he needs me to do, n they are hard to me, but i know with God's help i can do it!

  • Amen......

  • thanks!:)

  • thanks?.........its the truth...but you are very welcome mrs. and or mr. person......have a very nice and wonderful day I Love You, Garett

  • lol sorry o was commenting that to someone else...and i'm not married...i'm a teenager...hah.. and thanks so much! you too! :) and love ya too, Ashley

  • yeah ;) its not about the rules but about the relationship with God. and as for the rules, well.. one thing for sure is that God will never force you to do anything against your self-will, He will always give you a choice because He loves us. But the amazing thing is that He is also sovereign meaning that we can always trust Him to work together for the good of those who love Him. so even when we do make mistakes He is able to turn even bad to good. God is Love!

  • sounds regurgitated , What are you saying? You say God will never force. He loves us. You do not sound like a christian when you make gods love inclusive. So, whose God are you speaking of?>

  • but Gods love is inclusive o.O...unless im talkin bout somthin different then you r....

  • i hate religion but i like this dude. go figure

  • i hate religion too.. but love jesus. they are completely different things...

  • No their not, you cant have religion without Jesus and Jesus is religion, you cant love him without believing something, and believing something is religion

    someday soon you should read the bible :)

  • religion is rules basically.. and you can believe in jesus and god and have a relationship with them and not have to follow a set of rules.

  • this song speaks my heart.

  • at first i didn't recognize it, but when it got to the chorus i realized i'd heard it a million times. so glad kris allen is working with him. :)

  • I love this guy! I'm so glad Kris Allen is writing with him!!

  • Matt and Kris allen are writing a song together! WTG!

  • Good, solid tune- strong lyrics, melody and music. Plus I really like his voice and the way he uses it. This is a song you could hear twenty years from now and it will still sound good.

  • it still sounds good for the years i heard this

  • "streets of Hobart"

    I live in Hobart,Indiana :)

  • this guy sounds like coldplay

  • i like how he always sings about not knowing where he's going next, he just sings about now

  • i know right,,,iz he a christian singer....i remember the first time time i heard diz song......

  • is he a christian singer?

  • He's a Christian. And he's a singer. I'd say there is a big difference. Not like Chris Tomlin by any means. He's in the secular market.

  • masterpeas

  • sometimes I feel like I have nothing to lose, I just wanna leave old Texas

  • Nothin' like the southern life though. Always good to have change though, I say follow youre heart.

  • He lived in Oregon when he was a child "To a kid from Oregon by way of California"' it is to show where he grew up and where he has lived. At the end of the song he mentions Nashville "From Hobart Street to here in Nashville"

  • he sounds like the singer of coldplay.

    only in a way.

  • I agree. I think Mat's falsetto is better, though (when he goes into the higher range).

  • He moved from Oregon to Chico, Ca where I live! then he moved to Nashville. He actually mentions Chico in this song. When he says " From Hobart St. to here in Nashville" He's talking about a street here in Chico right by the train tracks. Thats why he says he can still hear the train outside his window.

  • haha...i live in Oregon. :D It's a good place to live.

  • I'd rather stay in Oregon

  • I love this song and this singer he's sorta cute and has awesome vocals

  • Comment removed

  • this song makes me happy.

  • i'm crazy about this song luv it luv it luv itttttt thax :D!!

  • is he trying to get to her cause that was nice and sweet but i dont think he actualy found her.... or did he?

  • everything about this song is beautiful

  • HEY IS THIS SONG CHRISTIAN???

  • yea it is

  • Comment removed

  • This song is awesome. I love it.

  • can someone please tell me the strumming pattern for this song?? i would appreciate it : )

  • Well, it's in 4/4 time. The main part is a simple strum. You can easily count 1 -2-3-4 and put numbers under the words as you go.

    He DROPS a beat here -

    "i'm off the floor one more time to find you."

    'Floor' =1 'one'=2 'time' = 3, and 'find' = beat 1 of the next measure.

    It's hard to get, but get the lyrics, tap your foot hard to the beat, and count out loud.

    Write the # under the words each time you tap the beat.

    One Two Three Four and sometimes One Two three One two three four..

  • great driving song

  • great everything song

  • This guy went to my highschool!!

  • hehe cool :P

  • lucky...

  • lucky

  • this song paints a mental picture.......... dawn, chilly, road trip, still dark outside in a big city like chicago..............for me at least!

  • i know what u mean...thats one reason why I love this song so much, you can invision it happening in your mind as you hear it =)

  • hahahahahah,... why how far is it!?????? dont tell me its jus down the road????

  • He sounds like Chris Martin but sings different. I think he sings a little like Dave Matthews, and there is no way that Chris Martin beats his wife. bowflexor your a dumbass! whoever thinks Chris Martin beats his wife is a dumbass!

  • Comment removed

  • ok if south of nowhere was still on, this would make a rly good theme song in my opinion

  • WTF? He's a kid from Oregon going to California... they make it look like a massive journey.

  • he came to nashville from oregon, aramis2000 lol.

  • Its cause he's from oregon and moved to california for college and made some bad decisions that made him move away, im actually from the city in cali he talks about in this song and where he went to college......Chico Ca.

  • seriously???? im from chico,ca too...i did not know that! very interesting. did he go to csu?..........

  • Yup:)

  • Mat Kearney is definitely one of the best artists ever That's reassuring because after the recession, not many good songs were coming out. Now a ton of amazing music is coming out. Glad new artists are showing themselves and their music.

  • He's like the new Dan Fogelburg

  • i dont know who chris martin is and i haent heard of counting crows so i cant say anything about the arguement......

    great song :)

  • chris martin is from coldplay.

  • do u live in a cave?

  • Check out "a long december" by Counting crows. This guy sounds just like adam duritz, the lead singer.

  • You have never heard of Counting Crowes or even Chris Martin from Coldplay??? LOL wow..

  • This song deserved to be a much bigger hit than it was - it's just excellent.

  • : [ </3

  • I'm not getting this Chris Martin thing. My friend said the same thing, and I listened to Mat live..and I just don't see the comparison.

  • Really? I saw him live too with Keane and I thought he sounded just like Chris Martin.

  • Ok, listen to Violet Hill and then listen to Closer to love back to back.

  • good one.

  • You think it was a good choice of songs to see the comparison?

  • i love this song!!

  • just because he sings falsetto in the chorus doesnt make him sound like chris martin, in fact its just a singing style, justin timberlake does it, all it is, is that kearny has same vocal range as chris martin.... but he sings completely differen i listen to both bands.. love them both. :D

  • I kinda feel sorry for MK, he sounds sooo much like chris martin he will never be able to get away from the comparison, and it's sad because both have really lovely voices.

  • I think he sounds like Adam Duritz from Counting Crows.

  • this is the ONLY comment on here that is right... he sounds absolutely nothing like chris martin. I thought at first that he sounded like the lead singer of counting crows, but that's it.

  • OMG!!!! Kealan8010 it is NOT CHRIS BROWN, IT IS CHRIS MARTIN. CHRIS MARTIN IS FROM COLDPLAY AND YES MAT KEARNEY DOES SOUND LIKE HIM. NOT CHRIS BROWN, WHO IS THE SINGER WHO BEAT UP RIHANNA. SO THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!

  • Slim Whitman is pissed, as well he should be.

  • Totally thought one of his other songs was Cold Play when I first heard it. Is he (Matthew Kearney) a Christian artist?

  • MAThew Kearney, you mean? He's in both industry. Performs with secular artist and secular festivals but makes his music with Christians and stuff. So, yeah, he's a Christian.

  • I am huge Coldplay fan.

    They are called Coldplay not Cold Play!!

    Coldplay writes much more better songs of feeling then mat Kearney.

    Mat Kearny is good at singing and feeling of life.

    Big difference!

  • will you guys leave this person alone? it was a perfectly decent question and you (theassassin43) and you (fantasticperson122) are just pompous douchebags.

  • yodels omg lol i was like wat teh when i saw that comment

  • That chick yodels like Slim Whitman

  • This song is amazing! I love this song!!!!!LOVE IT!!!!!

  • Beautiful song!

  • I love this song. :)

  • Awesome song and incredible video. Powerful, moving and poignant. Inspritational....

  • best song eva

  • absolutely lovely.

  • Umm I think you mean Chris Martin, not Chris Brown. Chris Martin is the lead singer of Coldplay.

  • Ever heard Chris Martin rap?

    Sorry but people meantioning Chris Martin are getting annoying. You need to be an idiot if you can't read the other 100,000 comments saying he sounds like Chris Martin. Oh, and too bad it's not Brown and there's no space between cold and play. You sure you've even heard them? lol

  • you mean chris martin? anyway, they don't sound the same.

  • Um, Chris Brown is the R&B artist that beat up his girlfriend. Chris Martin is the lead singer of Coldplay. Unless...was this supposed to be funny? If so, hahaha...

  • chris martin beats women?

  • Chris Martin!! His name is Chris Martin!!

    Its not Cold Play its Coldplay!!

  • look who's talking frenchy

  • the new Howie Day EP is also awesome, just got it on iTunes. The full length come out in Sep

  • Where the f#$% did you get this info, anyway? If you believe in luck, OK... but when has this actually happened? Stuff like this happenes 1 in a billion... sorry, but that's my opinion... anyway, if you believe in it, OK, I'm not going to stop you...
