Matthew Sweet "We're The Same"

[GAME4WAR]

High school years,horrible times,thank you Matthew Sweet's great music that got me though it

[ZyxthePest]

Girlfriend is classic, but 100% Fun is the soundtrack to my life.

[JoshF32]

@ZyxthePest first album i was pretty much in love with

[ZyxthePest]

Gideon Graves at the end?

This album is one of my favorites...no...fuck it, it's my favorite. I know it like the back of my hand. 100% Fun is a masterpiece.

[Yldcatz]

@ZyxthePest Girlfriend?

[doctorshifty83]

Real cool this was recorded off MTV. The only song I know from Matt Sweet since middle school. It reminds me of several things from the era. This song could have easily been off of Mallrats, Empire Records, or Clueless, the best movies from 1995...but dont quote me on that. lol.

[Riotboy1]

I know this sounds weird, but I wish video could've been a movie.

+1

[SamPageMusic]

This is one of my favorite songs by the master of power pop.

[shroomchicachica]

Who else can't help but smile and feel good while listening to this track?

[captainbloor]

Fuck me. I've always loved Matthew Sweet but never thought he'd knock out a video as fucking sexy/cool as this. Shame he's put on about 100lbs and now looks like shit eh? Sorry Matthew! Great song though.

[Foo3112]

@captainbloor I dont see what putting weight on has anything to do with this song? Does it makes this song suck any less? No you say? Then just shut up and enjoy it.

[ratbasket]

Kind of a cooler, classie, sexier version of the Robert Palmer video. 

[papaclanc]

@Masterdebater747 Hes being sarcastic about how people in relationships often dont listen to each other, assume what the other is thinking or means, fail to keep their opinions about every little thing to themselves, etc.

[papaclanc]

@Masterdebater747 Problem is the lyrics are wickedly subversive. Listen to what he is REALLY saying. "You dont need to hear what I say." "You dont need to hide, what you know." "When we fail in each others eyes." This song is mosdef NOT a love letter.

[joynthis]

And then he tagged all three of them on a "Keep On Truckin'" rug, the lava lamp gently glowing in the background.

[GAME4WAR]

MATTHEW SWEET FTW!!!

[goldbugnz]

100% fun is a brilliant record.

[thebjm1967]

alternative nation! totally forgot about that!

[cpkelley]

I love this song. And I especially love three things about this video. Haha.

[yoruichi0808]

brilliant song

[grejas40113]

I agree, whats with the shotty upload? Don't worry Matthew, you still are the tops with me.

[predicateband]

LOL My senior Year of High School I used to stay up all night and watch Alternative Nation back when The Juliana Hatfield Three were spinning bottles Belly was feeding trees and Jill Sobule was kissin girls while Katy Perry was being potty trained :) bring back Flannel and Alt Rock

[bigdsears]

Man, this makes me think of my old college days. Fuckn A, I miss college, I was good at that shit... I didn't make good grades, but what a fantasticly weird time that was.

[DontBAFartHead]

Matt Sweet is lovely. Girlfriend and 100% Fun are great albums. He never had what it took to be a rock star though. This is okay.

[ZyxthePest]

I bought an orange blazer because of this vid lol

When I was in high school (10 years after the albums release) I thought Matt was the coolest fucking guy ever.

And I still do. = )

[aidanday]

I always loved how he embraced a psychedelic-paisley-late 60s imagery when it was very unfashionable...

Trust me...I was about 16 when this was new and no one was wearing corduroy blazers or white sunglasses. It was all torn jeans, flannel, skate shoes, rock t-shirts...

[thefreedomartist]

goddamnit, I envy this guy's genius!

thank you for posting this! tfa, : )

[thefreedomartist]

beautiful, touching...genius

[rodsgod]

All i can say is that the girls in this video are WAY CUTE!!!!!ayiyi Ay Carumba!

[ktmerzouga]

En España, en un bar, el tio es inimitable, unico y memorable,

[gobonator]

Classic...

[GinAndChess]

This song deserves a better quality upload than this.

[Babyhowdy233]

I agree! This is NOT worthy of Matt!

WONDERFUL song though...as are ALL his songs!

[txeire]

have at it

[xxblackxxsheepxx]

i agree !

[txeire]

@GinAndChess do it!

[diablogirl59]

The "bond" is the same as you'd have with your husband, wife, or someone who has the same taste as you do. My boyfriend and I have the same "connection" that my twin and I have. I've had some stupid idiots ask me if my twin and I have THE SAME BIRTHDAY!! Or, if I get hurt, does she FEEL my pain??????? WTF???

[djaudioman]

tremenda, que buenisima cancion, muy bella realmente, saludos desde Perú

[bigdsears]

Makes me miss college... can i go back and do that? I was good at college...maybe somebody can go back in time with me and go back to college and see a Matthew Sweet concert and bang some of these hippie chicks. This is not a joke. You'll get paid after we get back. Must bring your own weapons. Safety not guaranteed. I have only done this once before.

[diablogirl59]

I love this song!! I've had the cassette single forever!!--by the way Jon and Kate SUCK!! Whoever watches it has no brain what so ever!! I'm a twin and I could never understand everyone's fascination with us--it's weird!!

[ar4216]

So do you have a psychic bond with your twin? And yeah, that show sucks balls.

[gbluesrocker]

i dig thease chicks!

[martayk10128]

Love this song on Jon and Kate plus 8, at the end of the episode "Kate's Labor Day" so cute.

[jimflane]

Check out the credits at the end - the director, Roman Coppola, is Frances Ford Coppola's son.

[KCVROCKS2008]

i love his new lp 'sunshine lies'...get it! there's bonus tracks on the vinyl lp also.

[AlcohollifuckincA]

me and mathew have the same birthday!

[TimmytheGeek2009]

pop genius.

[rodssslive]

nice

[SGriffinGuitar]

Man, those girls! =D They seem like they could've fit in quite well with "That Thing You Do"! (or "Austin Powers"). Great video AND great song!! Reminds me of R.E.M. (which is a VERY good thing to me!)

[ZyxthePest]

@SGriffinGuitar Which is weird because Matt went onto be in Mike Myers band Ming Tea, who were featured in all three Austin Powers movies.

[bigdsears]

Sweet

[gbluesrocker]

good song from a good artist!

[starfish53]

When MTV actually played not just music but great music!

[Alexsy82]

i love, love, LOVE this song.

[icansleep]

Is that Rebecca Romijn on drums?

[icansleep]

In the video, I mean...

[patty7beth]

What makes Matthew Sweet's music so great is the combo of the sweet, melodic vocals against grittier, grungy, crunching guitar licks. Goes down like Captain Crunch - yum!

[prrolg]

nice stuff

[jonnye53]

awesome song.great 60ish harmony and video.love his music

[mahnamesmiiikey]

does anyone feel bad for the other girls that werent chosen? haha anyway who was the best girl - i think the one in the yellow dress was hot

[hamusan]

wow alternative nation. does mtv even play music anymore? i love matthew tho amazing singer/songwriter :)

[mahnamesmiiikey]

this is an awesome song

[Medweasel]

It's kinda funny, I discovered Matthew Sweet when Sick of myself came out, I was and am a big grunge fan. I just really like Sweet's music. To me it has a grungie sound to it. I don't know, I don't want to classify music but I guess I'm saying I dig Matthew Sweet's music.

[sueala04]

highschool,man.Awesome music around this time.

[cpotyrala]

great song...i wish someone had a copy with better audio though

[Tanuki071973]

They do: they're called the iTunes Store.

[cmctoyota]

Even Better...try going to a used cd store. Matthew Sweet is better enjoyed start to finish!

[Tanuki071973]

Good call! I haven't been to one for ages.

[lazarus0202]

This song always made me think it was originally made for a sitcom about twins--

"Coming up next, let's see what hijinks the twins get into on We're the Same!"

[marksmail2]

The women in this video are gorgeous. Can't stop looking at them. Great song, too. Thanks for postin'.

[Smeghead1920]

Matthew Sweet is the fucking man. Not only does he write incredible music but he shows us that he can bag a bunch of good looking chicks too.

[sueraver1]

high school years,good times.Love this song.Good singer.

[freddyoz62]

[perrydasavage]

Matt Sweet is one of the most underrated talents in Pop Music ... fabulous sing/songwriter! Love this song & video!

[fedroger]

Awesome video and song.

[KENVAIL]

[jungleland0912]

I LOVE the way this song sounds. It couldn't be more perfect. I can listen to it over and over again and never get tired of it. So GOOD. It fits so nicely now when spring is coming too...

[harry81gr]

Thank you thank you thank you! Brings back great memories of the 90s, which was the Golden Age of alternative music! Aaahh just makes me feel nostalgic.

Sweet as Svengali. Dig it!

[mtetrick]

Matthew Sweet...superb songwriter. Played most of the instruments on his records, too (except drums I think). What a talent. Thanks for the vid. I'd never seen it.

[alramone1]

great song, strange yet entertaining video

[Willie8911]

[samasteve]

So awesome! Thanx for posting. I remember Alternative Nation hosted by Kennedy! MTV is so terrible now. I was a senior in high school when this came out, nostalgic.....

[cirkit7]

[BGElks]

The blond playing the drums...I can;t stop looking at her...what a stunner!!
