  • dave matthews is better!

  • Rob You Are The Best

  • I love Rob Thomas.. and this song means sooo much. My mum recently passed away from cancer, I loved her dearly and I took care of her thru all that awful Cancer treatment.. this song would play, and bring tears to my eyes.. Today, every time I hear this song, it reminds me of her..

  • Love his live acoustic stuff!! Doesn't get much better than that!!

  • hippocrib's mom didn't love him enough, when he was young.......

  • Anyone know where I can easily/quickly download this song? I don't know much about itunes, but I can't find the acoustic version on Amazon MP3 or Frostwire, or anywhere I can think of

  • @JamieDix2 listentoyoutube dot co.m will let you. copy a video link of his song, paste it there, and then download the MP3

  • @hippocripp First of all "peeps" you have no right to call anybody watching this video a "numb knutts." People are watching this video to listen to music, not read facts from some stuck up 50 year old whom still lives with his parents. I think your comment was absolutely ridiculous, and out of line. Don't Comment on video's and start bad mouthing viewers, that is immature and shameful. Suck a dick.

  • this guy is super cheesy but this is his best...........

  • he's the best singer of the world !

  • Rob Thomas is one of the best of all times!

    Good song

  • Yack.

  • upside down lefty guitar lol...

  • This is his best performance yet- since it is a personal song about all the feelings he has dealing with his wife's illness. I think he is so courageous for being able to put words, and this song- to his feelings of desperation and frustration, on top of his awesome love for her. KUDOS TO YOU ROB!!!

  • I love the acoustic version of this song much better than the one with all the excess sounds so clean and pure and Rob has a wonderful voice.

  • The guy on the guitar is amazing. Playing a right handed guitar while he is left handed. All the strings and hence the chords are inverted.

  • ROB THOMAS THANKS FOR ALL YOU DID FOR US NYC FIREFIGHTERS IN THE DAYS AFTER SEPT.11th ...YOUR FINACIAL CONTRIBUTIONS AND YOUR MORAL SUPPORT FOR US MADE THOSE DARKEST DAYS MORE BEARABLE. YOU DIDN'T DO IT FOR PRESS COVERAGE , YOU DIDN'T DO IT FOR ACCOLADES...YOU DID IT FROM THE HEART...AND WE THE SURVIVERS OF THE TOWERS COMING DOWN WILL NEVER FORGET YOU FOR IT. THANKS A MILLION...... RICK D, RETIRED LADDER CO. 167 FDNY

  • @167mog

    Rob does not only have an awesome voice and an impeccable talent in music. The guys got a big heart and a beautiful soul!..We love you Rob!

  • the guy on the guitar is so funny watch it again and keep looking at him

  • @bluewolfsky The guitarist is Matt Beck, one of the best in the world. He is currently working on Broadway in the Spiderman musical. He's worked with Rob Thomas, Rod Stewart, U2, Lisa Loeb, MB20, and many others. He's an amazing musician.

  • @bluewolfsky ha ha...I see what you mean!! He is good though!

  • rob thomas has amazing music, and is one of the few artists who sound better live than on CD. thank you for showing us real music, rob.

  • Even better acoustic!

  • true story

  • Ok..first of all peeps..Robs wife has Lupus..a horrible autoimune disease that damn near paralyzes it's victims when it hits and it comes in waves similar to M.S...now the lefty guitarist is Matt Beck..any of you numb knutts recognize the last name..didn't think so..He is playing a normal right hand strung guitar upside down left handed..it is not a lefty guitar or strung lefty.. Paul Mcartney has been doing the same thing since the 60's. leftys often learn on righty guitars just upside down..

  • @hippocripp .. ty.......

  • @hippocripp wrong bro mccartney plays reg lefty not upside down shit

  • @hippocripp Mcartney doesnt do that. And the first person to do this was definetely jimi hendrix. Stupid comment

  • @hippocripp my mom has M.S. and when ever I listen to this song it reminds me of her...

  • He wrote this song for his wife, who suffer's from a diease. His way of trying to help her. A wonderful tribute to her and what she suffer's the type of diesase she has,.

  • such great vocals..

  • @Starlitblond thank you, IS IT JUST ME, CAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE PEOPLE HAVE FORGOT WHAT THIS SONGS ABOUT, IT'S ABOUT STANDING BY SOMEONE YOU LOVE AND FEELIN THERE PAIN!!!! WAKE UP AND GROW UP THERES MORE TO LIFE THEN YOUR OWN LITTLE WORLD HEROS !!!!! WHAT I MENT BY THAT IS WHO REALLY CARES WHOS RIGHT HANDED OR LEFT THAT SEEMS SMALL MINDED. YOU'S MISS THA WHOLE POINT.

  • For everybody thats saying he's just left handed he really is playing it upside down. The thicker string (Low E string) is supposed to be at the top and the thinner string (High E string) is supposed to be at the bottom. Also if you look real closely you can see his pickguard at the top of his guitar, which is supposed to be at the bottom.

  • Rob Thomas is one of my favorite artists, and he is the best song writer around in my opinion..people would be shocked at the people who actually sing songs he has wrote..even country stars use his music,

  • left handed guitarists piss me off

  • @tylerstuff7 Why's that mate? I'm a lefty,and even I think we look awkward when watching someone else.My mates also hate me coz I have a few expensive guitars they can't play.

  • EXCELLENT!!!!

  • At 3:39 it's clear that his guitar is strung for a right-handed player, and flipped, Hendrix style. That's why it doesn't sound quite right when you play the exact same chords and follow the same strum pattern.

  • @TheAvelon: That just gave me an idea to start with reggae style strumming staying right handed and work my way up to get that pattern!

  • this is about his wife who had cancer :(

  • @ellehmasta24 she has lupus 

  • @ellehmasta24 Lupus. Not cancer.

  • Lovely...

  • Have you ever stood alone and looked upon something so amazing and beautiful that you thought.., if you interrupted.., it would break into a thousand pieces and would never.. BE(exist).., again. I have seen that in my life and will never foget it. This song reminds me of that brief second of perfection.

  • pure diamond this song:-) so soothing, sad and soulful - I just love this man's voice - beautiful and haunting all at once.

  • Rob is Awesome of course but this songs means even more because my Mom has what his wife has. (LAMBERT EATON) very rare! So I extra relate,thx Rob n sry for ur wifes pain n ur's.....xxxoo's

  • I want to cry....

  • His stories he told behind the songs he writes was sad, humorous etc. He is very deep and genuine. Loved his concert

  • His stories he told behind the songs he writes was sa, humorous etc. He is very deep and genuine. Loved his concert

  • She rubs her eyes, sits down on the bed and starts to cry and theres something less about her, and I don’t know what I supposed to do so I sit down and I cry too..but don’t let her see.

    deep and real

  • I saw him do this in concert in Vegas. Absolutely GREAT!

  • @Jeffreygrassi You are so lucky! wow.. it would have been like heaven! :)

  • @moonica666 It was great. Aug 15th of this year. Outside venue at the Redrock Casino. Started about 8pm. He sang the best of his and Matchbox 20's music.

  • Tada!! Amazing Performance... can't get any better than that!! Wow...

  • i have a friend who learned to play on his father's guitar which was for a right hander, and his left handed, it did'nt stop him. he flipped it over for his left handed playing, upside down strings and all and now it's the only way he could play ....and man he can play.

  • whoa upside down guitar strings and all but what a bad ass acoustic song about his wife love the song reminds me of Miss sometimes

  • What the hell! Great version!

  • OOh I can't take no more! Great version!

  • Any idea how I can download this to play with my guitar?

  • wow... amazing!! The perfect artist!

  • Life with Lupus, this song always gets to me no matter what version I hear. I too suffer with Lupus and it is artists like Rob who will help to find answers if not bring awareness. Thank you for posting!

  • Rob Thomas + Acoustic = Awesome!

  • great song for his wife....i love it...

  • not at all, not at all

  • can't wait to see him..:) he's better than superheroes:D

  • great song love the acoustic sounds awesome

  • this is such a well written and thoughtful song. especially knowing about his wife, I fully respect Rob Thomas' chops as a song writer and he has a wonderful live voice which is refreshing.

  • This song needs more views!! His voice just takes you somewhere ♥

  • rob truly is amazing...... awesome voice, songs. and so dam sexy

  • Truly a music genius. I love this man.

  • @rufinamaria08 i so agree, he is awesome, perfect voice,, glad to see he is out with new music,, if its stil on here check out his song..... think its called i cant take no more,

  • xoxoxmusic4everxoxox - That's Matt Beck, an amazing guy who tours with Rob and Matchbox. He is a lefty, he doesn't play upside down :)

  • @amandarae0 he's actually playing..lefty and upside down... is a right handed guitar played on the other side. not the first time i have seen that

  • my family loves this song, I found out Rob Thomas's wife is battleing lupus. I have fibromialgia and am in chronic pain. It is very hard for a family to watch a loved one in pain but listening to these lyrics make me see what my family has been going through for years. Knowing they cant help you and can't take the pain away. it amkes me realize while I can't handle the pain my family can't handle me being in pain. Where is God?

  • @greenpants5000 I have fibromyalgia as well and i know how it is. Just hang in there...God is here. Make a food journal see what your allergic to and change your diet, I have regained my life from these changes. I hope God Blesses you and you heal someday, sooner than later...

  • This is an amazing performance. I LOVE his voice! :) Also is it just me or is that guy playing his guitar upside down????

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox He is. He is right handed while playing guitar, which we see as upside down because most people are left handed when it comes to guitars, even if they write with their right hand.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox Yes. I believe ambodextris (I think I spelt that wrong) people can do it.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox

    I guess he's left handed

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox he is left handed. thats why it looks that way

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox He's left handed.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox that's a lefty guitar

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox

    The guy is left handed.

    Plays with his left hand .

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox  The guy is left hand.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox technically it isn't but yeah if fliped the giutarst is left handed

  • @5alanandamanda7 But his strings are upside too. So he is playing the guitar upside down.

  • @5alanandamanda7 I knew this guy who was left handed but he learned to play on a right-handed guitar so he learned to play upside-down instead of restringing it

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox He's a lefty :)

  • The dude is left handed hence the upside down guitar

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox its a right handed guitar strung for a left handed player.

  • @JoshKerrMusician No, he's actually playing the guitar upside down. If you look closely when the camera is close up on the guitar, you can see the strings are even upside down. The thicker strings that should be on top are actually on bottom. It's strange, no doubt.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox

    Yes he's left handed.

  • @Sanityish maybe he's left handed, but that guitar is 100% for right handed .. the bass strings are down

  • @altbogdan. Thank you for telling me ( maybe he's left handed, but that guitar is 100% for right handed .. the bass strings are down) I had a Musician sitting by me when I wrote that, Thank you for ur comment.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox

    Lefties... They're everywhere.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox

    Umm no, he is left handed.....that is a left handed guitar.

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox he is left handed

  • @xoxoxmusic4everxoxox

    he is playing it upside down. he's a lefty... and take from a lefty player it gets expensive. easier just to re-string a righty

  • LuvpopQueen - No. No it's not.

  • Liked this song before, but hearing the meaning behind it and hearing an acoustic version, I now love this song. Rob Thomas is an amazing song writer and conveys his lyrics with such emotion. Hard not being a fan of Rob Thomas.

  • Soooo Hot and Amazing :)

  • just found out what this song is about and i can totally relate because i have the same disease that his wife is suffering from

  • Must...see...rob...live.

  • I seen Rob and Matt perform a snipet of this song on the Rachel Ray show yesterday. He wrote this song for his wife. She has a disease that's not treatable and he wrote this to show his empathy and sympathy for her situation. Poor woman. Glad she has a great man like Rob in her life to help her along and support her.

  • talk about hit home wow i still dont know what to do

  • amazing i love Rob Thomas, he is a great artist.

  • I like this version much better because you can really hear the nuances in his voice.

  • @drewrocks. Robs wife did not die. The song is about his wife Marisol and her battle with Lupus...

  • sooo nice...

  • the way the guitarist plays reversed, i find amazing.

    oh & rob's wife died of lukemia , that's what the songs about.

    It's a powerful songgg.
