amazing!

[EVS822]

Mat's a phenomenal lyricist. He makes you fall in love over and over again.

[natepo7]

This song has so much meaning to it and even though it makes me tear up, it gives me strengh to move forward and overcome the hardships that life throw at me. People always have the ability to overcome pain but sometimes we just need help from others. My friend sent this song to me and it is amazing.

[YuriiShade]

@natepo7 I cant do anything else but agree with you.

[wahlicnm]

Songs like this one is what keeps me head over heels in love with music<3

[Crew9t]

So I just discovered this singer (go Scrubs!!) and I have to say I thought he was gonna be one of those guys who has one song that is good, then the rest were gonna suck ass, but he is actually really talented. I keep listening to song after song, and have yet to find one I don't like. I'm impressed. Ok time to switch back to the song that brought me to him to begin with..

[playground57]

here's the trick.. go to rippify [dot] com to rip this song from youtube.

[jacobscout4]

whats this song anobout anyone know???

[bendkneetoe]

@jacobscout4 he wrote it about Johnny Cash..

[jacobscout4]

@bendkneetoe hows it about johnny cash??

[bendkneetoe]

@jacobscout4 mat wrote it shortly after reading cash's autobiography. it's about when he basically tried to kill himself by going into a cave and drinking a bottle of whiskey and taking a whole bottle of sleeping pills. johnny didn't die, so he knew he must be alive for a reason. "And your light, found my bottle in the night

Kept me in this fight and gave me second life"

mat explained it in more detail when i saw him live about 4 years ago.. but that's the jist of it.

[bendkneetoe]

@jacobscout4 even the title is taken from one of JCs songs "I won't back down"

[kelptree]

@bendkneetoe its called, "Won't Back Down". a lot of songs have similar names

[bendkneetoe]

@kelptree Im just going by what Mat himself has said at his shows before playing it.

[kelptree]

@bendkneetoe never mind then :)

[zoeruls]

i wish the new music was all like this or at least go back to pure rock and roll!!

[votecoldplay]

idk y ever one says he sounds just like chris martin chris martins voice isnt as deep and he doesnt sing stuff like this

[cjttruelife]

and I sing HALLELUJAH Rip through my veins I heard the hammer drop my blood in the rain..

The picture I get here is a hammer pounding nails through flesh and blood dropping in the rain. My own flesh and my own blood. I picture how Christ died in our place and how truly broken this world is without His sacrifice.

[BecksBunny007]

christians confuse me.

[kcrules66]

how an why?

[cjttruelife]

This song is about pressing on and toughing it out through all the trials and tribulations in this life as a person following Jesus Christ.

[lovegooforever]

[cunningrockmandee]

very mellow yet very powerful...love it
