  • I love the snare sound in this song.

  • @chris668899

    Loosen the snare wires and point the mic towards the middle of the drum

  • @PowerToker420 good point there. He did run into the traffic at the end of the video. P.S good to see another Victorian on YouTube

  • Its alright nooooow , take the WORLD and make it YOURS again

  • Sometimes it's all free; sometimes it's ALL free.

  • sumtimes i think that nerdy guy with the briefcase is going to commit suicide, i dunno it sounds fucked but i live in b.c victoria and when i was in grade 5 i wan on my way to school passing through downtown when the police closed down the block and stop things and i seen a guy who kinda looked like that , who pretty threw himself of a tall bank building to his death ......lol i dunno its fucking wierd i played goldeneye on N64 later that night and i was laughing but it was still fucked up

  • How can you compare Matt to the Hip? He is so much more creative, and talented, and intelligent.

  • @WoWmiester That's pretty subjective, and I disagree.

  • Last of The Ghetto Astronauts - Great Album from Start to Finish.

  • Matthew Good is a music GOD. Best artist to come out in the last 20 years. Thank you, Canada for providing us with artists like Matt Good, The Hip, Tea Party and so many more!

  • @unclebobpart2 Don't forget Rush! :D

  • @unclebobpart2 Don't forget OUR LADY PEACE !!!!!!! another of my all time faves, also Serial Joe and Moist =P

  • @unclebobpart2

    You are so very welcome....sorry about Celine though.

  • @halycon0830 WTF. Take your anti-depressants. Maybe your world is like that, but your world revolves around that which surrounds you. Sounds like your hanging with the wrong people, doing the wrong things. To have such a dismal outlook on life, is beyond despair. You need help. Reach out, find it, and rejoice in all the beauty that is still around us. Yes shit is happening, and yes that shit sucks..... but you need to look at the positives around you....

    People still do care.....

  • Sounds like Tragically Hip with better lyrics???? WTF??? Are you for real?? Many doubts about that statement.

  • Sounds a little like Tragically Hip but with better lyrics no doubt about it

  • the guitar rift in the song reminds me of another song.. i cant put my finger id really like to remember

  • @ZGoldRush Maybe The cranberries- zombie

  • We are not humans, we are paper and numbers, we are a burden to all other parasitic people, we are hopeless, we are losing our humanity, we are without compassion, we are losing our community & society, we are being destroyed by greed & insecurities, we live in ignorance & denial, we are complicit, we are disconnected from one another, we sit in the comfort of distractions (TV, social status, politics, hate/fear/lies, celebrity, media) and we are enslaved to the system (money & oligarchs own us)

  • @halcyon0830

    Not true, that may be the general modern consensus, but playing that in your mind as a global truth only confirms and sets you down said path.

    We can simply choose o remove ourselves at any point, live life mindfully and learn to support ourselves to the point where we can maintain a happiness independent of social conditions, because we know we are part of something so much bigger, call it god if you will.

  • @halcyon0830 here! here! most excellent take and i'd say not much argument from me on your pionts, heart of the midwest, 53 years old barber says right on...

  • how do you not concider this guy to be one of the best artists not only today but ...welll ..ever!

  • @brendan040 It's spelled "consider". There were not only better bands in that era, but also collectively this isn't even worth mentioning. Get over it.

  • the volumes a bit to low...

  • Ah this song brings back memories! Great band!

  • I was lucky enough to live 15 miles from the BC border as a kid and was Lucky enough to Hear matt good from the time he was noticed at the seeds of vacouver competition..99.3 the FOX in vancouver was and is the greatest radio station ever for discovering his talents..the fox rocks

  • @MrFoolsgold1980 They also discovered Nickelback. Too bad most radio sucks nowadays. I would listen on my way to and from work but its all just talk radio during the rush hours. Those guys Larry and Willy are they still on the Fox? They never shut the hell up and play music. Hate it.

  • very underrated musician

  • This song fucking rules.

  • fuck i miss the 90's and im only 21 years old

  • @ParasiteRelic I feel you man, I am only 18 and I swear I was born in the generation.

  • @ParasiteRelic Same exact feeling here dude.

  • @ParasiteRelic Dude... Same.

  • @ParasiteRelic: I do too and I'm 56 years old.

  • things really used to matter when we used to rock, didn't they? I don't know if it was the music, the drugs or how hard I used to get back then, but the 21st C sure sucks! I guess that psychic was right.

  • Hmm, 2 dislikes... interesting. They must be Nickelback fans.

    Matt Good Forever!

  • @freshasflowers 2 ppl must not have any symbolistic white walls

  • i hate over price bubble gum damn it !!!

  • We are not humans, we are paper and numbers, we are a burden to all other parasitic people, we are hopeless, we are losing our humanity, we are without compassion, we are losing our community & society, we are being destroyed by greed & insecurities, we live in ignorance & denial, we are complicit, we are disconnected from one another, we sit in the comfort of distractions (TV, social status, politics, hate/fear/lies, celebrity, media) and we are enslaved to the system (money & oligarchs own us)

  • @halcyon0830 I once read a statement written by a male school teacher "We are becoming a society of degenerates. Nobody respects anybody or anything anymore. The children i teach are spoiled and lazy. They have no respect for authority or their elders. I fear for the future when they grow to adults". Does this sound true to you today? It is translated. It was written 2400 years ago on a small tablet in Greece.

  • @turfturbo I agree totally but time rolls on and we do our best for our own, as always.....thank god that people who appreciate decent music have at least something in common.....does age really matter?

  • @fearvault i actually have to agree with you

  • Beautiful song~

    and i haven't seen those good ol colours of Toronto buses in more than a decade

  • @IonSojiro smells like pee. i'd rather go back to bc than stay here

  • I would love to sit down and pick his brain. I admire the fact that Matthew is one of the few musicians who actually infuses meaning into his work. Very interesting soul, he is.

    Matt, thanks for being real.

    Much Love from Vancouver, BC

  • Check out my cover of "Alert Status Red". Nothing compares to this guy though... hes unrealll

  • @BradProulx K, imma bite and check it out.

  • zee best

  • take the world and make it yours again

  • we miss you Geoff Lloyd. What a bassist. RIP.

  • this is one of the best songs ever made . LOVE MATT GOOD !

  • From 3:04 on is what sets matt good apart i belive. Beautiful, raw, from the heart. You can hear the difference in his voice. You can tell he grew up on the west coast. Rainy days last

  • IF YOUR CANADIAN YOUR AS GOOD AS GOLD THATS IT THATS ALL!

    GO FUCKEN CANADA GO!

  • Don't Despair, Don't Despise, NO DESOLATION. GET UP, LIVE, FIGHT, LOVE, LAUGH, HOPE, PROGRESS, OVERCOME FEAR, SHOW WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF, NEVER GIVE UP, YOU ONLY GET 1 LIFE. FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT, FIGHT FOR YOURSELF, FIGHT THE SYSTEM, FIGHT FOR OTHERS AND THE TRUTH. LOVE YOURSELF OR NOONE WILL LOVE OR SUPPORT YOU.

    Don't be Distracted, Don't be Deceived, Don't be Exploited, Don't be Divided.

    STAY UNITED, STAY OBSERVANT, STAY INFORMED, STAY CONNECTED, STAY HEALTHY, STAY ORGANIZED. WAKE EVERYONE UP.

  • Comment removed

  • @EmilBlueLime BAWWWWWW

  • Tight tune!!!

  • THIS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHY CANADA BANDS FUCKEN ROCK TOO BAD OUR GOVERMENT WOULDNT LET US HAVE HEAVY MEYAL BANDS TOO LIKE KORN ETC....

    THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY BUT I JUST SAID OUR GOV WONT LET US FREE MY ASS THEY PICK AND CHOOSE FOR US FREE MY ASS OUR GOV FILTERS WHAT WE CAN AND CAN NOT SEE LIVE ITS BULL SHIT AND THEY STILL WANT US TOO CALL IT A FREE COUNTRY WHAT A JOKE!

  • @coley0076

    You're fucking stupid.

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

  • @coley0076 if you look around there are plenty of metal bands. It has nothing to do with the government, they just dont have enough support to be heard. Vast majority of the population doesnt listen to metal, thus they dont get heard by the general public.

  • what country are you from ? i think china has mass filters and online police if you look up the wrong (or right stuff) you get the fuzz braking down your door.

    (not kidding )

  • Does Matt Good  know how to age?

  • Comment removed

  • Can't believe i've never heard this Matt Good song before......I doubt this song gets much radio play now with all the shit music people are listening to today...soo glad I grew up in the 90's :)

  • Song tells us to live each day to the Fullest. Do something different every day, do something good everyday, do something new & something you'll be proud of. Don't just repeat the same day everyday & the same failures, don't let anything or anyone get you down, Learn Everyday, learn from your past & any mistakes that you make, improve your future, Enjoy Life, this is the ONLY chance you'll get, don't let life pass you by, do something that Improves You & This World AND

    Humanity. MOVE. LIVE LIFE

  • devix45: Nice try, Devix, but Matt Good wrote this song, as he does all his own songs (a few during the MGB era were co-written by another band member, but it was almost always mostly Matt's work).

  • Was this shot in Toronto ?? lol love how Matt Good hates this song :P I like it.

  • great song writters are never forgotten!

  • We are all hoping that God will let Matthew Good be IMMORTAL and LIVE ON FOREVER.

  • Well, i cant really relate to peoples stories of the 90's, I am 15, but i have to say, i like 80's - 90's music much better than any new stuff.

  • @harley22x They're still all the same stories. People haven't changed that much in 10 years. Keep listening. (y)

  • kevin (my nieghber wrote this song and manyy others of this bands songs their produser in person baught the songs and he got thousands

  • @devix45

    was he the one that found the beatles too?

  • I used to skateboard with Matt Good. Back in the day he use to work in a Skateboard store in Coquitlam called Pure Skates. I used to skip school and hang out at the store when he was working. Wierd..he used to listen to Public Enemy back in the day. This is one of my favs from the band.

  • What band are you talking about? and iono bout where your from but in london matty good in on the radio all the time.

  • he looks SO young in this video! my goodness!

  • This song turned me on to Matt Good 15 yrs ago. and now is just one of many MANY favorites. What an incredible artist,(or person for that matter) In some ways I'm glad that he never really caught on down here in the states like some other Canadian Band from the same era. Listeners of Matthew Good appreciate the art of his music and the lyrical genius that he is. Let the Sheep listen to the band on the top forty station. Thank You Matt for "Keeping it real" all these Years.

  • umm..this song wasn't out 15 years ago..

  • @friesngravy umm yeah it was... it released november 30th 1994...last of the ghetto astronauts

  • @dave4201213 you're right, my bad..i guess it's pretty apparent in how young he is here too..lol

  • he makes a look that makes me think annie lennox

  • nickelback is worth a nickel - Matt good is the gold

  • You make nickelback a bit pricey, don't you think?

  • lol

  • I paid a nickel for a Nickelback, and now I want my nickel back. :'(

  • Comment removed

  • @TheRishiGirl I threw a nickle at nickleback cause they suck ass, it got stuck in Chad's greasy hair, I DON'T want my nickle back.

  • Things change, times change, but he is a classic in my eyes. That vibrato, just like the Hip but in his own style which is unique.

  • Matt good's voice changed and improved significantly over the years.

  • I think he thinks the opposite.

  • I honestly dont know why everyone hates nickelback...I mean theres nothing special about them, but there is much shittier music in the worl.d

  • it was at queen and roncesvalles haha. i never noticed

  • Filmed at Queen and Ronchesvaile in TORONTOOOO.

    Go by here EVERYYY DAY.

  • that blinde chick in this video is so hot.. I'd tongue her to hours at a time...

  • i remember when he won that CFox seeds radio contest with a demo song in 93 or 94 or somewhere around there. That contest win got him recording time which the band he formed used to make a 4 song demo that landed them their recording deal. Same annual contest Nickelback won like 8 years later and did the same thing.

  • the difference is that Nickleback is queerer than a three dollar bill

  • hey, jsut cuzz nickelbacks singer piles up the assault charges and DUIs doesnt mean he is gay . lol

  • Sometimes I think to myself, "Dear Lord, why is that every Matthew Good discussion always ends up with Nickleback's name coming up?" F*** Nickleback - Their mark on music is nothing but a dirty soil. I know one other thing for certain, If Matt's music were radio played deep down in the US here (having spent 20 years in BC, 10 years in Dallas, and 2 in New Orleans), he would be in such seriously high demand and easily outsell NB 10-fold. There's a serious amount of people who love real musicians

  • Oh believe me, it's nearly impossible to pin down a favourite Matt Good song. As soon as I think I do, a different song of his makes me re-think my decision. There are so many gems... I'm lucky enough to have grown up in Vancouver, and have been listening to his stuff on the radio since the 90's. I'm glad that Canadian radio stations are required to play something like 30% Canadian content.

  • You nailed it. There some artists I really really admire, but none have the sheer volume of songs I love and connect with on a personal level like Matt does.

  • I agree with you completely about Nickelback's smut. I've lived in BC most of my life, but also in Houston, Texas, where I easily converted many peoples views on Canadian music.

  • do you by chance own a massive cabin in the Okanogan? cause theres this guy from texas who owns it...just thought it would be crazy if it was you...long shot and a commewnt worhty of thumbs down but fuck it haha...btw Matt good fuckin rules!

  • awesome play list !! :)

    Matt Good = <3

  • he reminds me of raine maida in this video.... what a beautiful person inside out i love matthew good.

  • After 100,000 MGB listenings, this might be my favorite.

  • Yeah yeah.... he took Ed's "depth" and added um, how do you call them, real issues and attainability! Yeah that's what I was looking for.

  • This is a perfect example of why the 90's were the best!!!

  • I totally agree.. "everything is automatic" is also a great song

  • @Wolfhart24 the 90s were the best

  • @Wolfhart24 the 90s were the best

  • @Wolfhart24 AGREEED!!

  • @Wolfhart24 Hells Yess!!!!!!!!!! I will by farrr ALWAYS be a Matthew Good fan for the rest of my life. :D

  • BEST BAND OF ALL TIME!

  • as a 20 year old male from southern Ontario...

    I can safely say, this song really brings me back....

  • The gta?

  • IMO best Good song he's made.

  • Wow talk about nostalgia.

  • matt good hated this video lol i like it tho

  • i completely forgot that the chick that was in apparitions and rico was in this video too.

  • bah ffs, i keep double posting. but i also forgot that dave genn was originally only a keyboardist for the band.

  • matt good is awesome pure talent. Go Canada!

  • Classic*****

  • He is crazy...he wouldnt as beautiful if he wasnt.....they never are beautiful unless they are crazy

  • Sad but true, he's not crazy the rest of the world is who can't see.

  • He looks like he's crazy at the end...

  • apparition is their best song and weapon

  • so so true followed by 99% of us are failures

  • I don't know why but the drummers in Mathew Good Band and The Tragically Hip always seem pissed off.

  • I love this song!!!! Its MINE, I wish he was mine....

  • This is my special song Danmit GGGGOOOODDDDD DDDDAAANNNMMM IIIITTTTSSSS DDDEEEAAAAFFFFIINNNINGGG, jk no seriusly this song is mine, its my fave!!!! It was my fave b4 u ever came around asshole!

  • i dont give a fuck, im a girl and im gunna comment, he looks way hotter here then he does now.

  • lol i frogot how skinny he was

  • Comment removed

  • LOVE this song. "Take the world & make it yours again" is one of my favorite quotes, period.

  • hate ta quote, but... take the world and make it yours again.

  • I like how even as an Angsty teenager he still seems to be very deep

  • This is 1 of my favs from matt!

  • these words are very relevant to whats goin on listen well

  • He's a brilliant man, and his songs.. to those who listen to the lyrics and digest them, are not chewy bubble gum songs that repeat, and repeat. Matthew Good writes songs with a purpose behind them, and I think the audience he reaches out with his music to has to have an acquired taste, and if not that, then an understanding of the world around them. I'll listen to his music over the repetitive junk pouring out into the music industry these days.
