  • so why do all these teens want to kill matt?

  • Yes, and Genn joined 54-40 in 2005, so your assertion that he left for 54-40 makes no sense. The idea that Genn left for fame is ludicrous - what reason did he have to believe he'd get it?

    Where's your evidence for believing the rest of the band were desperate for a more commercialised sound? It flies in the face of the widely believed reason that Good simply was always more of a solo-ist, and by the time of AOB, the other bandmates had got sick of having their contributions restricted/ignored.

  • Genn joined 54-40 like 3 and a half years later, he didn't leave Good for them

  • @halcyon083 He just wanted to write beautiful and deep music - and he went on to do so!

  • rush being canadian is why they are in the r&r hall of fame, it's a shame

  • ha, 90's alternitive never fails

  • god what a good song. can't wait for "Vancouver"

  • I like how the kids in the video are consistently angry-looking. They're not blank-faced or even grinning goofily cuz they're in a video.

  • Nice

  • Here's irony...I actually had a dream where I was running from the schoolkids...and there were at least 3 ex-girlfriends chasing me (and one caught me, SPLASH, under the water we go...)

    There's weird for you. Wake up after THAT!

  • Well yea... haven't you ever had a dream about someone that was real. The dream itself maybe fake but the person that dreamnt it could be real.

  • That could never make sense.

  • It could make sense that that same girl with the blond hair and the knife behind her back was in his dream also.

  • You mean a dream in which he wakes up and that same girl that was in his dream is staring at him with a knife behind her back? How the hell does THAT make sense?

  • Do you want his sense to it, the directors sense to it or your sense to it?

    Try to find your sense, first...

    And if you can't, leave the song without a video if it makes more sense to you that way.

    Just advice

  • Thats why I never watch music videos anymore.

  • Turn this S--T! up!!

  • bacc wen music was actually good! ...

    lov this song

  • As much as I love this song, this music video makes no sense!

    I woulnd't be suprised if this was on Video on Trial. But whatever this is such an awsome and underrated song!

  • It's a dream you idiot.

    Did you even watch the video?

  • I prefer matthew good solo, but he's good in a band too. The best solo song by him is 21st century living.

  • This reminds me when we used to get MuchMusic in the States before they turned into shitty Fuse. I have always loved this song and video. Good ole 90's alternative rock!

  • great song

  • I love his comments about the Juno's (Canadian version of the grammy's for all who don't know). "When its actually a television broadcast that celebrates actual Canadian music, rather than whos doing well internationally and who has been in car commercialsthen Ill go....

  • Cont'd

    "When it actually promotes Canadian music at root levels, and it isnt kind of this weekend when the Canadian music industry pretends that its this independent industry and not just marketing warehouses for the United States, then sure, Ill be a part of it."

  • Man i love matt good, listening to beautiful midnight right now. 90s alternative. nothing better. matt good is a canadian legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 90s Canadian alternative...nothing better!

  • when he says. "picture your self in the mgm grand" I picture the casino in the stands watching the boxing fight lol. i love it.

  • 3:10-3:11 the girl saying fuck you is priceless and that is a good loogy if i every saw one hah

  • i love this song

  • MGB is one of the most under rated Canadian bands of all time. Matt Good has written some of the impressive alternative lyrics of all time - seriously!

  • More like one of the more under rated bands from any country

  • big shiney tunes 5 :P

  • Why dont we see music videos like this anymore. There music was also bomb. loved it when i was younger and still do

  • theres good music out there its just not covered in the mainstream media. Mainstream music now has been dumbed down for consumption by the masses

  • Best schoolgirl uniform video ever!!!

    MGB was great! Too bad they broke up, nothing Canadian has taken their place.

  • 3:09  "FUCK YOU" ahah

  • Probably my favorite music video ever.

  • I hate how music videos delete the curse words.

  • Agreed; censorship sucks.

  • a lot of people probably forget what the song is called. haha i looked for liek 4 years to remember the song title

  • I grew up thinking that this was mainstream music that everyone knew of. The lack of Youtube comments on all of their videos suggests otherwise. They aren't well known, are they?

  • I've always known of them. I thought the same thing, but when I asked around few people I asked knew of them, which doesn't mean much, seeing as many didn't know Rush either...

  • They are definently a hidden gem. Underrated.

  • No, surprising isn't it? When I think of MGB, I think alternative, and you would hear it on alternative radios. Shit, no one has ever heard of this band.

  • They are well known in Canada. Matt Good is going it alone these days...

  • method: Canadians are aware of MGB/Matthew Good. Their work just hasn't been successful in the international market as it has over here. Such a shame though since Beautiful Midnight is a masterpiece.

  • Like many great Canadian bands...they are unknown elsewhere. This was from a time where ALL of my favorite band were Canadian and alot of people outside of Canada still don't know them!

  • You're so right. Great bands like MGB, The Tragically Hip, Sam Roberts, Sloan, Treble Charger, The Tea Party and Billy Talent arent very popular in the U.S, even though there songs are 10 times better than any shit you hear on American radio today.

  • dfbhcf: I know what you mean. I just ordered the new MGB album. I live in Pennsylvania, walked into a Best Buy, and they didn't even have a name slot for his stuff, wasn't even mentioned. Nobody knows who he is unless I show it to them. I had to order the new album online, have it shipped from a Canadian vendor by amazon straight to my house. It costed me a fortune but that is the only way you can get his stuff down here other then downloading it.

  • @MsCarson79 I'm english but luckily for me, my mother married a canadian.

    Otherwise i'd have never have heard this amazing band.

    I've seen alot of bands live but nothing compares to matt's voice.

    Thank you Canada for such a great band.

  • This definitely was an amazing creative vision with all the running and chasing...very movie like, the director should do an action chase movie...

  • love this song......

  • i used to listen to this song all the time. i've been listening to matt good for like 10 years, he's a huge inspiration to me.

    this video to me is just like the dog eat dog high school world and how horrible and fake everyone is.

    you have no one to rely on but yourself.

  • GREAT

  • where was this filmed??

  • Saint George's Private School

    Vancouver

  • always loved the song, creative video sortive can you feel it, meets cruel intentions!

  • lol, thehy're like Lemmings!

    Ok, EVERYONE JUMP!

  • wtf is this supposed to mean..

  • Great song and video! Well done, mates! Endless stars!

  • I knew you would like this Bear!

    Have a great night!

  • i lvoe the ending to this music video

  • One of the greatest teen angst videos of all time...

  • thats wat stupid ass religion does to people

  • 3:12 nice

  • This song was use in a movie called Disturbing Behaviour in the late 90"s. There was a scene in the movie when all the crazy F@#cks leaped off a cliff. Check it out. The move is preety good.

  • they are tryin to hurt him,

  • has any 1 ever wondered wut their running from???????????

  • Thats a lot of wet white shirts ^_^

  • but why is his face yellow after?? did they piss on him??? lol.. seriously though.. did they??

  • FUCK!!! I LOVE THIS VIDEO!! ALWAYS HAVE... ALWAYS WILL!! I LOVE THE PART AT THE END with the group of kids and he just runs threw them!! LOVE IT!!

  • 00:12 .... use the other doors, idiots! :P

  • I was thinking the same thing. :)

  • catholic school students and idiots go hand-in-hand

  • i wouldent mind being tackled by some ot those girls in this vid, haha

  • I Love This Song!! =D

  • And in the end at the scene of the soccer field, hes on the other side, and "puts himself all the way out" and follows his ego thought system to be burned in the end. and wakes up in the end and a symbol of waking in a seeming dream state of mind.  "picture yourself at the MGM grand

    one night only, murphy vs. hokem

    you're in the stands "

    ya dig

  • well it's murphys' fighting occam, your in the stands, a reference to murphy's law and occam's razor, i don't know what hokem is

  • ****Puts me all the way out******And the fact that he helps his fellow man even though they want to hurt him, demonstrates**** that he sees the partially innocence in the others, subconsciously understanding that they are a reflection of himself.

  • very true, in my perspective, he is talking about being numb, and some of the experiences and emotions one feels in this state. So "load me up" in the sense to be pushed into a point up almost unforgivable cercumstances.Which inthe the end "pushed you all the way out" And as they dive in the water, it symbolyzes of the different obstacles one faces and quickly faces another, drowning in ones mental abyss.And the face that he hell his fellow many even thought they want to hurt him, demonstrates

  • Best alternative rock anthem ever! (or at least to me). I use to listen to this song every morning before high school to mentally prepare myself for the abundance of bull shit Id be walking into. And the music video is awesome; the ideal depiction of the struggle to be an individual when the majority is so unaccepting and the END to me seems to symbolize how those finicky groups are untrustworthy & quick to stab you in the back.

  • this movie always reminds me of the movie "Disturbing Behavior". love this song

  • /applause applause :)

  • omg i haven't seen this music video since about 4 years ago...and i readthat comment that said "creep ending..." and then i thought to myself...ya doesnt it end off with a bloody knife or something? and then BAM-a not so bloody knife!

  • Exactly Mike!Nothing like hot girls in schoolgirl outfits especially with the skirts.

  • best song EVER!

  • creepy ending.

  • what's this music video about?

  • Almost sure that its about drug abuse.

  • Great song

  • He's an amazing artist.

  • I loved this the minute it came out - brilliant. Everyone is for themselves these days - hasn't anyone noticed? A song isn't worth much if it doesn't have something to say and Matthew Good Band always has something to say in their songs. They shine a light on who we really are while entertaining us at the same time. That is art.

  • beautiful midnight is there best album. the songs they pulled off and the lyrics by matt good are amazing

  • definitely. :D

  • Das Lied klingt so wie eines von Jeanette Biedermann...und zwar Bad Girls Club. Wobei ich nun nicht behaupten will, dass die Jeanette die Melodie zuerst hatte...das glaub ich nämlich eig garnet^^

    PS: Guter Song

  • i wouldnt personally mind being chased by the girls man, fucking HOT!

    but,,, the fact theya all wanna kill you is a bit of a turn off i gues :(

    owell

    sweat fucking song

  • honestly though

  • why would u say somethin like that what about the people that shit like that actually happened man like have fun sayin whatever u want on youtube but ther should still be personal limits if u got kidnaped then u went throught some shit but broadcastin shit like that on youtube just isnt very justified man like think about other peopl

  • wut?

  • The dude is just being funny... Who are you the kidnapped comedy police ?

    I thought the comment was random as well, but I can see the humor in the post. Maybe you need to face your fear of being rapped and tell your dad already j/k <-- now that's funny

  • yeah man i c wat ur saying totally not cool wat denvir did but some ppl r just asses

  • OMG! I'm so sorry to hear that, but that had to be the funniest thing i've ever heard hahaha. I was actually abducted once, but it was by a family of gorillas, and they raped me, it was alright, but i do get a boner when i watch tarzan

  • my last name is murphy

  • LOL MATTS SO AWSOME:p

  • ohhh my god, reminds me of this huge high school crush i had

    most soothing song be MGB

  • too bad it's so quiet, my laptop speakers won't let me crank the fuckin rock

  • "Murphy's fighting Occam, You're in the stands...."

  • nice Murphy's law vs. Ockham's razor, never listened for that lyric before, but then again haven't heard this song since I was a lot younger.

  • Matt Good likes the schoolgirls

  • Gads, this reminds me of the good old days. Sighhhhh.

  • soo true

  • man i cant believe i found this song i was looking for it 4 about 2 years

  • I still think Matthew Good is the sexiest man alive. Not just because of looks, but because he's so intelligent, a great writer, a beautiful singer...Jesus, too bad he's married already. haha.

    I love this song. :)

  • He isn't married, single :). Divorced Jenny a long time ago.

    Where have you been!? :P

  • hhaha exactly, listen to Hospital Music, geez

  • This video always reminds me of the movie "Bisturbing Behavior". This is my favorite song of all time no matter how how many times I hear it.

  • 0:31 ~ cravings for clean people, its bacon

    sorry, but does anybody else hear that?

    I love this song <3 it never gets old

  • I believe he says "If heaven's for clean people, it's vacant." Can't say I've ever heard anything else there, haha. But I agree, I could listen to this song over and over.

  • hehe thank you :D

  • This reminds me of Coal trains loading up.

  • man this video scared the shit out of me when i was younger and first saw it on MuchMusic, mostly that pool scene and that last crowd dive

  • I have to agree with you . The scene in the end with the girl holding the knife behind her back freeked me out.

  • omgg this used to be my favorite MV when I was younger *w*

  • First time seeing Matt live (@ the Orpheum), it was amazing.

  • I love how it's the doors at the Pacific Coliseum. I just saw Matt tonight at the Orpheum in Vancouver and was just amazing, two encores says enough.

  • i love the look on his face right before he runs in to the crowd he's like "fuck it, let's do this"

  • i dont get it, what did matt good and his band do that pissed off a bunch of private school teenagers with the urge to kill? oh, and its a great song

  • The only thing I can think of..and this may be over the deep end... was the band running from the the fans and fame who would eventually devour him. So at the end he accepts it and takes it head on. The girl at the end just brings memories of when he was stalked a few years back during the bands peak.

    At least that's what came to my mind.

    The kids really sell the vid...they dont overact or anything.

  • those are some ferocious women.

  • lol damnnnnnn those chicks should play football, lol. man i fucking love Matthew Good and Matthew Good Band

  • Great show in Barrie Ont on Monday night. Sounded great and played all the good songs.

  • killer

  • I just turned up my own speakers...the volume is fine...lol. Love it!!! <3

  • Sweetest video! I love the song & video Much!

  • dude this music video rocks

  • good song, but sooooooo quiet

  • I know I apologize for that inconvenience. I don't know if I can amplify the sound quality of the video?

  • good song

  • matt you are my nigggaaaaaa

  • matt good>carper great

  • yo everyone im a genius , and so is matt good , now i must change my diaper

  • this was the first video and the first song i heard by matt. i'm still in love with both!

  • hahaha whoops lucky i saw my past post, obviously i love him , i forgot to put that <3

  • hahaha whoops lucky i saw my past post, obviously i love him , i forgot to put that <3

  • I used to love this video, still like the song!

  • explanation for my first comment:

    ok I was pretty hated in school because I wouldnt do drugs and drink alcohol and I was in the drama club and music and shit like that but does that really make some one a loser? I will leave you to decide that. what I am trying to do is say why should every one be allowed to pick on others just because they don't conform to what they are doing? well post on my facebook with what you think!

  • this song is great and the ending to the video is great. just a question but how many people here on youtube given the chance would actualy go against a crows of people like that ( i dont mean in violence but to stand up for your self and what you believe in even if it means every one will hate you)? I will try and make a video to explain this

  • Emo? Haha

    Why is everything emo? 

    Fuck that.

  • MATT GOOD..., u know what ??!?!?!?? u are a fucking genius

  • I fuckin love this song - so intense!

  • I fuckin love this song - so intense!

  • I remeber liking this song when I was nine and its still a pretty goos song.

  • Ah, a young generation that labels everything 'emo'. I find that when people like these post about any genre of music such as this all the way to death metal, they just label it 'emo' because of laziness and ignorance. To lazy to acknowledge one genre from another, or maybe because they feel threatened from the superior form while theirs lacks melody

  • totally agree with you buddy. i remember listening to this song when i was young. i still love it.

  • This songs one of my faves. Saw these guys live for Canada Day in Winnipeg & they rocked. Too bad they broke up.

  • This video defines alternative music, and to a higher extent, led me to listen to Matthew Good Band. I only wish more artists in this generation could ever get such opinion.

  • fuk everyone is so stupid... every single kind of music is emo... im posetive sure that anyone whose making music puts in some emotion some kind,.. so.. everyone should just stfu...

  • it's true, alot of artists probably put passion and emotion into their music ☺ what's wrong with it?

  • emo???? lmfaoo so hard, LOSER!

  • are u kidding me there is nothing about this band or video that makes them look emo u retard

  • rock on! XD

  • There's nothing emo about this. Learn what a fucking emo is you dumb shit.

  • This came out in 1999. This was before the emo fad even started.

    This is not emo

  • And your point is w
