Matt Corby: Letters

[kateygibby]

Those eyes

[crazymoonlady]

Cute little metaphors. He is amazing. I can safely say, i don't care if hipsters discover Matt Corby, it won't change anything.

[MrTherealNas]

fuck sake, i really loved his music, frankly just because of how non-mainstream it was, then some faggot hipsters and shit, just go and snap the shit up with a party on this beautiful music.

[hotqueekboi]

I remember watching this about 2 years ago and I just didn't get it.... I never liked this style of music until recently. I posted on this same video (I think) about how it was a waste of his naturally pure and pop-styled voice because I loved his voice that way on Oz Idol.

However, I accept that he has changed style now and that there is something in this music that just screams of sooooooooo much more hard work and originality than in your average pop song, which is why I like him again.

[lg9819]

your music is amazing matt, marry me, please.

[RoseCourtneyE]

Australian Bon Iver?

[milenajimenez2]

@RoseCourtneyE jajajajja yeah hes similar to bon iver jaja

[MsPotatogem]

@SweetyMissyC

Matt is one of the most original artists and different sounding that I have heard in a long time. He is no 'Wannabe Bon Iver' the two musicians are both equally talented and unique in their own way, so you should just take your spiteful comments elsewhere.

[blazekimura]

He has soooo much talent...I slightly remember him from idol BUT i must say I love his style today...I love the way he sounds and him and his guitar are made for each other....I hope he blasts through the Australian charts....I like his blues style that shit silences a room and everybody is just wrapped up in his music...

[blueststar]

great song and video



[syarneking]

beards are sexyyyy

[charlottecgs09]

@sweetmissyc obviously he is just playing the style of music he likes and is good at, its not his fault he's is similar to other artists just be thankful he's like another great artist, but he still has his own style

[fozrocket]

Just because he plays a guitar and signs in falsetto he is a wannabe Bon Iver? Does that mean Bon Iver are a wannabe Jeff Buckley?? Grow up knob head

[seancaseo84]

@fozrocket I agree with you but there is an overwhelming amount of singer song writers lately with a smiliar voice and beards with that same over lapping vocal sound e.g from ireland james vincent mc marrow . If you havent heard have a listen watch?v=KfoXGKOuOj4

[joanneheming1]

how amazing! i only realised he is the one who sings 'brother'. thank triple j for playing quality like matt corby!

[SweetyMissyC]

wannabe bon iver

[thesalza23]

his eyes <3

[werunthemusic]

oh god, he is too beautiful, it hurts.

[cycling003]

Shit! forgot how beautiful he is!

[elyseee92]

ummm... marry me?!

[laurenashley095]

he sounds like bon iver. i like it.

[HighSchoolGuy]

This is a horrible video clip...

[HighSchoolGuy]

@HighSchoolGuy It honestly just ruins the song...

[jamespwest523]

@HighSchoolGuy

it sparks imagination. i think it's perfect.

[melleh92]

Congratulations on your life.

[TessaJohnsonMusic]

Slowly but surely, I am falling in love with this guy.

[tsvc2010]

@TessaJohnsonMusic Haha same here :D

[MrSourlemonface]

YAY! He finally cut his hair!

[xoJEZxo]

@MrSourlemonface Ummm no....this video/song was done back in '09 before he grew his hair out.

[nathsMusic]

those eyes were seriously talking to me, amazing song !!

[Iamthemonkeyhead]

Does anyone know where I can find the lyrics to this? I can't understand everything he says in his mumbly dreamy voice.

[gabsbaker92]

I met him today and he is amazing and so so nice

[areza1527]

like if 4 walls festival sent you here :D

[rolande1990]

great song

[ClogUrHeartOut]

Such beautiful eyes.

[Newme1087]

boni ver much ? !

[lukereynoldstube]

It shocks me that Matt is not currently making a living from this GOLD!

[PlayWithColour]

there's some reverse audio around 2:36-2:40

[zefran195]

This guy reminds me a bit of matt with his voice /watch?v=jACTj8nPgwo

[stachiano]

He is seriously beautiful!

[gingerbread1588]

@rukonirsen He's always noted Bon Iver as one of, if not his biggest influence, so it's not surprising

[JoanaBlasques]

Wow, what a beautiful soul!

[RSArick]

very boring song

[musicislife1990]

i have had matts ep for a while but never stumbled across the video until now.. i love this song..

[123abcdefghijessica]

wooaaaah

[ideagirlconsulting]

matt will be in toronto march 9 to 13, 2011 for canadian music week, blogging his video.

[Witchire]

I'm the king of the highest rated comments. No-one can defeat me.

[YouAndYourTube]

Why it's indie ? No polish or marocain ?

[Capta1nKr1s]

he was on idol ? that show is still going ? never the less decent song he should lose the beard tho make him look unattractive

[NathFilms]

@Capta1nKr1s

hes lost the beard and grew his hair REAL long

[frostedcrown]

good or not good, just really great he's done his own thing. Mega props to the lad.

[europaustralia]

HE WAS BEST ON IDOL BUT NOW HE SUCKS

[bluey112]

@europaustralia That's just complete bullshit. This music is quality, it is the direction Matt wanted to go after Idol and it's good he didn't win because he can. And I am sure nearly everyone here agrees.

[musicalman1995]

@bluey112 if he won, his music would be terrible, all mainstream and stuff.

[bluey112]

@musicalman1995 yeah no doubt, and that's why it is a good thing he didn't win. The music he produces now is brilliant, if he won we wouldn't have this today.

[CookieMoster32]

@europaustralia Matt rocks, idol SUCKS!

[sunkissedboi]

Just 5 mins with this guy..sexc

[SabrinaSigns]

Interesting Video o:

[AGirlNamedLydia]

Fracking frack, I love this guy.

[partygirllaura1]

indiehh <3

[ourchookiefirst]

You know you love his voice, his song, the way he sings... but you hate that his eyelashes are longer than yours and you're the girl.

[lucylu1472]

swryj

[lucylu1472]

awesome song..............for the 8 people that missed the like button STUFF U MUTTAH UKERS

[skippinggirlvinegar]

he's probably the only decent thing that's ever come out of idol

it's very Bon Iver-esque though, in a good way :3

[whitestuff15]

this song is amazing... he sounds so different from idol.. this doesnt show how good of a singer he is.. but it does show how talented a musician he is

[kimbalee1993]

wow, he defs looks 10000000times different but im really digging this song <3

[sophiemaree1]

Bon iver much?

[raenBow27]

wow i'm reminded so strongly of the incredible josh pyke :) it's nice to know that one of the kids who started out as public eye-candy chose not to pursue that kind of image...

[heysteph99]

Fantastic Song...the lyrics are so true. 

[xflashahh]

god, no, so much better looking now.

[graciesmells]

sounds like josh pyke and bon iver had one pretty face baby. lovely.

[ElectrifiedMidget]

matt is doing something he himself beklieves in, developing his own style and massive fan base.. not just in oz but over here in the UK.. he's such a great guy and his songs are amazing.. kudos matty xx

[ageiiGIRL]

So he gets noticed back in idol.

He totally deserves the credit to be noticed here.

[ZachMaccc]

This is Art

[maplehamadryas]

he has the most beautiful eyes.

[jiimmy567]

dang matts sucha pimp with all those letterss wrote to him

[nuwifflix]

Lisa Mitchell is really good, she managed to separate herself from the Idol brand, hopefully Matt will be able to do the same......

[AthenaRage]

@nuwifflix Looks like he's well on his way!

seems to be doing really really well

[sullydero]

@AthenaRage pft josh pyke is the king of acoustic music in australia, matt corby is amazing too though

[AthenaRage]

@sullydero True, Josh Pyke is pretty special,

so chilling and original

[ellathecrazy1]

He is beautiful. and so is his music.

[CamNacson]

He's gone all Josh Pyke! I think i'm about to cry with happiness!!

[Transatlanticism04]

@CamNacson I like Corby,however Josh Pyke's music is crap haha

[lemonnzzzap]

WOW he looks so different :O

still gorgeous :D

[ivysaurr]

another idol reject gone indie :)

LOVE IT!! <3

[tiadanikat]

This is so lovely.

[IndependentPresident]

I wish that more participants of some idol shows were that good! He's brilliant. And 1000 times better than in the videos from the idol shit.

In Germany for example the "idols" only throw out (or up ;) ) one or two very bad albums which only douchbags are buying.

Now I have hope again for all the idol shows! :D

youtube. com/watch?v=8UuNP5cDLS0

[thisisrachels]

this is amazing

[Dremz1716]

so amazing. he's grown so much as a musician and a person.

[luvlilaudz14]

he is so ugly now.

[flywithyourownwings]

@luvlilaudz14 you're young...you don't know what beautiful is yet

[amkstewfan]

i would honestly pay tens of thousands of dollars to see matt perform. i met him at a fan event in 2008 and it brought me to tears. i remember his audition for idol, so beautiful. matt, your music brings me to tears, it is so beautiful.

[jjjrulez]

wow. matt corby. you are NOT Bon Iver

[jeremiargh]

@jjjrulez This is way too true. I'm sorry but the creepy echoing singing/whispering through out this song is all way too reminiscent of Lump Sum.

[SweedieTjej]

ah your dreamy matt

[LilMissDidge]

awesome song, but i like his hair back in aus idol. and i dont like the beard.

[IglooDweller]

Makes me glad he didn't win. They might've tried to change him.

[koolieoh991]

matt corby ayee

[maricimo]

He looks so different from idol.

Wow

I love this.

[SheHerGirl]

just beautiiful.

[rouln86]

amazing! :D

[egm535]

i love this! my new favourite song .. so lovely !

[jeauexe]

i love that he's doing something which he seems to love. i'm so pleased about him rejecting the sony deal tbh. i definitely want to buy his ep now!

[amybruce]

this is so beautiful! i love his ep

[RhOnDa2233]

omg his sooooooooooo hot !!!! yummm loll

[graffitiMANZ]

sah indieee.

[holycrabdotcom]

@graffitiMANZ trewww ∆∆∆∆

[pigglewiggle132]

i'd tap that

[amelamusic]

this is beautiful

[culloa95]

he's awesome and he shares my birthday!!

how freakin awesome is THAT?!

lol xD

[pegas12]

:d :d HAHAH he shares my Brithday too :D

[damienkwillis]

Finally! A former Australian Idol contestant has released something interesting instead of the boring, generic music that is usually released. I'm genuinely impressed.

[ecermusic]

@damienkwillis So in other words, Lisa Mitchell either doesn't exist, or wasn't on Idol.

This is actually pretty good :)

[damienkwillis]

@ecermusic I have to admit that I didn't know that Lisa Mitchell had gone on to do great things post idol. I think its great that she's been able to create a career for herself and well, I don't think this kind of career would have been possible if she had won idol, so thank god she didn't. She was always to unique for idol anyway.

[ecermusic]

@damienkwillis I love her song "Coin Laundry" - so catchy :)

I'm relieved that Matt has finally let go of his annoying hair.

[alikennedystar]

OMFG HE IS SO DIFFERENT

[DressurReiter7]

I like the direct he has gone.. fresh, new, nice. Doesn't showcase his voice as much as the mainstream music (although Matt's choices on the show weren't TOTAL crap like most) featured on idol, but still great music. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the video though?

[jazzybabey24]

NOOOOOO! Matt corby was the love of my life for about 4 years before i saw this video, good one :(

[MalabuCaseeey]

matt corby amazes me!

[leanneis]

Always wondered what happened to this boy... I'm do happy his releasing something I can't wait to hear it! I know idol is annoying... But he had me hook line and sinker with "The Blowers Daughter" amazing stuff xo

[cocoperth]

this if off his first EP, you can buy it on itunes currently. He released it mid 2009.

 His new EP is due for release first week of April, 2010, itunes, and CD shops in Oz.

[aussiegal10]

fuck,

was so sure this was bon iver, when i first heard it.

[doppelganger47]

lovin the facial hair!!! and his new doo... always hated his IDOL teen-directed haircut. also great to see him doing well with his music. Natalie who? ...i don't even remember who won last years?

[Elizzzajk]

I didn't think I'd been too keen on this, but I actually really really like it, hey.

[SINCAS77]

WOW, this is awesome!

First song i heard of his since Aus Idol and he has really matured as a musician.

Instantly reminded me of Mumford&Sons and Bon Iver!

Good song :D

[cocoperth]

There is a new album coming out with both Matt and Mumford and Sons on it.. New songs from both, along with many other great artists. Communion release, March 1st. UK release, you can order easily online.

[SINCAS77]

serious??

AWESOME!

[cocoperth]

I'll message you a link where to order it from.

it's available as a double (vinyl) album with a digital download included. UK only for pre-orders right now, but will be released in Oz later in 2010 too.

[CookieFace2010]

Adorable. With the haircut and beard he looks like he's mid-20s. Not 19!!

[DaringDummies]

i <3 Matty !! i met him once x_x really awesome acoustic artisits of this day

[Binxxpunkrokka]

sounds like bon iver

(except bon iver is jesus)

[Bozzy83]

I AGREE ......BON IVER IS JESUS...:)

Matt Corby is a legend as well... cant wait for him to release a full city .... i would ACTUALLY BUY IT and not rip of the net :)

[deathcabforjack]

yeah i just bought his ep... gotta support the artists that deserve it

[Pineapple218]

Matt should shave his beard off.

This songs great by the way.

[Witchire]

haha he's gone all indie now. +1 billion respect points.

[deathcabforjack]

yeah tell me about it- total respect. ps i was convinced for a while that bon iver appeared in this song.

[musicalman1995]

@Witchire of course he has.. indie means independent....

[DropDeadPhoebe]

@Witchire i think he's always been indie. x)

[VideoVisionary1]

love it!! so original.

[karsa1111]

beautiful.

[popaddict]

He was always better than that Idol nonsense. Look forward to hearing more from him.

[televisedvision]

he was always a true artist...its just that idol wants to market people to a teen audience that will only purchase music purely based upon looks alone...rather than its true value...what he has done is simply being himself here...stop hating on this guy...if your really appreciated his music it would not matter what he looks like! this song is amazing...true and honest...such a lovely piece of art...its just beautiful.

[HellsAngel8287]

aww gosh, i loved his sexy hair in Idol. <3 GROW IT BACK!

[xoJEZxo]

Noooo we don't want him looking like some Zac Efron/R Pattz wannabe hahaha.

[xoJEZxo]

So awesome Matt!

Well done for going your own way and rejecting the whole Idol concept.

He was cute back on Idol but he's hella sexy now <3 Those eyessssssssss

[xoxoxoxAnnAxoxoxox]

i love this boy....

but the beard isa tadd iffy i think.

sweet song tho.

[Keb78]

beautiful video; so honest

[tclove01]

woah.

[abipoo]

love this song! definitely bon iver inspired.

and yes he was better looking on idol but at least he's making sweet music instead of the rubbish produced as a result of the show.

[whoelsefreak]

i think hes so much better looking now. hes not as pretty which i think is a good thing.

[mmorr4]

@abipoo - he was better looking on idol?!?! are you crazy?? he just looked like all of those guys that dress all the same and walk around like they are the greatest thing known to man.. but here he looks down to earth, not really trying to please anyone!

and the voice mmmhmmm.. amazing

ah... pure brilliance

[GreenGlassMusic]

@abipoo mmmm definitely better music, and i think wayyy cuter!

[iheartxMcFlyxGabbiie]

i liked it :) !

[Superfrogds]

i love bon iver

[Musicogamist]

This boy is just amazing probably one of the best contesters of all Idols over the world.... is voice is just amazing and his music is very fresh... yes this one looks like Bon Iver but is much much better than him ( I love Bon Iver sorry) , but the rest of the songs are more country !!! I wish I had his talent lolol

[yvettemitchell123]

agreeded

[brydz05]

what happened to that beautiful baby faced boy? he has grown up so much. wow. looks like a different person, still the same sexy eyes though.

[brydz05]

Who is this bon iver person? i haven't heard the name before.. going to have to investigate..

[stricklyMEH]

i wasn't a big fan of matt on idol, but this song is really good. i like the metaphor and jus the sounds.

matt looks way older than his age. good on'em i say.

[xxmcrxxfanaticxx]

his eyes are gorgeous

[blaukah]

he must hate bon iver... wait a sec

[xoJustSmilexo]

oh my gosh. :)

when I watched australian idol I really hoped he'd focus more on his voice than his looks.

and he's awesome now. :) I mean he's still hot. but he's really matured. which is good. he's not one of those "plastic popstars"

[rachyheartsu]

such a gd voice!

but i liked his old hair better
