  • umahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

  • Very nice! 

  • all i have...

  • such a good song

    and he sounds exactly like Chris Martin from Coldplay

  • The background guitarist (with the long hair and glasses) is playing a mini acoustic with a steel-like body, can someone fill me in on some info on what that is or where i can find such a beautiful thing!

  • @GroovingUpSlowly121 it's a resonator guitar, i believe.

  • I love this song, and this version with ashley much better than the one off the album. 3:28 guitar is greeat!! Is there anyway to dl this version on itunes or elsewhere?

  • Just wanted to let you all know that Mat Kearney will be performing on Jan.8th at the Granada Theater in Santa Barbara. The theater is gorgeous but small so it will be an intimate setting. We will also be setting up meet and greets with Mat himself so if you are a fan, this is where you need to be. A non-profit student run organization from the local high school is putting on the event and all proceeds go to charity! Ticket are $28 and can be purchased at granadasb web site!

  • simply cant get enough of this guy! love it!

  • OMG, I can swear that's the voice of ChrisMartin [Coldplay] Wow

  • @MissedChica I was totally thinking the same thing! haha

  • ke carina anke qst!"!!!! =)

  • I never heard of Mat Kearney until his song "Closer to Love" came out on the radio, and ever since I found his music I have been hooked and in LOVE. He is soooo amazing, so talented and his songs are so beautiful and full of meaning! Love it!!!

  • i gave this to my gf, when we first met :), bout a month later she had gotten into a fatal car crash and died in the hospital, this song makes me feel like crying everytime i listen to it, i miss her very much. :( [Long Live Alice Klayn]

  • Pretty awesome!

  • I discovered this guy when he performed on The Tonight Show with Conan O' Brien. I was hooked ever since. :)

  • Wow, i never knew this guy existed. He's like jack johnson mixed with coldplay

  • @Gokuromario more like aqualung mixed with chris martin

  • he sounds a lot like Chris Martin.

    First thing I thought when heard hes voice.

    good, though.

  • what vocal mic is he singing into? anyone know?

  • like a double of chris martin....still great...

  • one fo my fav's

  • give me an effing prozac. what  a cry baby. i hate this kind of waterlogged bread music Music for the insane. Indigestible.

  • Hey,

    i will sub you back with all of my 17 accounts.

    Greetings from Odilo

  • some people compare him with coldplay...i like them both but i think mat has better words..that's just my opinion...so peace!

  • Can't wait to see you in Vancouver on August 26th!

    *

  • He's amazing. It's as simple as that.

  • I love his voice...both his CD's are really good

  • saw him in concert last semester at the U of M! it was greaaaaat!

  • i like him but he sounds just like the guy from coldplay

  • just wounderful

  • oh god, he sounds so much like Chris Martin (a) :)

  • I just discovered this guy the other night and I love his style and this song has got to be my favorite so far. Simply Awesome!!

  • Haha im aware of that, im just emphasising my admiration for Mat above Chris Martin. Thats all. They are both talented writers, but Mat has the edge.

    -Dave-

  • Ok, didn't get it like that (my english is not that good) :)

  • Ok lets get one thing straight, Mat doesnt sound like Chris Martin, Chris Martin sound like Mat!!! :P

    -Dave-

  • Why dyou say that? He started to sing after chris martin, and his first album was released in 2004, coldplay's parachutes album was in 2000!

  • is posible to buy the cd's of Mr. Kearney in Spain? Somebody?

  • I dont see why not, if that fails look online and get one shipped out. :)

    -Dave-

  • great song ...great Mat :-)

  • SO GOOD. love you mat!

  • its like waking up to the one u love ..every single day..... warm cozy song :)

  • this song makes me fall in love

  • such a cute song =]

    gets stuck in your head

    love it

  • I love this man.

    His new album reminds me of a Counting Crows throwback.

    Fantastic.

  • @underanalog and a little bit of Coldplay added in. It's great.

  • Definitely.

    Mat's voice has reminded me of Chris Martin, since I first heard him.

  • He definitely sounds like the lead singer of Coldplay

  • gREAT!! i LOVE THIS SONG... THANKS FROM BARCELONA (SPAIN)

  • I love you mat! I always will! Your music is absolutly amazing and so is your voice!<3 <3 <3

  • Mat Kearney.......perfection.

  • hey, anybody know who the background singer is?

  • ashley monroe

  • @theassassin43 I can barely hear her voice

  • If Kearney and Coldplay's singer had a baby, it wud sound like Casey Casem...

  • I wish Mat Kearney and David Homyk would do a song together, that would be awesome!

  • @berry014t  "David Homyk sounds horrible"

  • i find the laugh at the end is beatiful

  • does he sing a song that goes something like this? "whoa oh whoa oh i never will forget..." or something along that line...i heard it at work and i can't find it but i love it...? help

  • His only radio songs are Nothing Left To Lose, Undeniable, Breathe In Breathe Out, Closer To Love, and this. I don't think he has a song that says that.

  • try undeniable

  • @orangeberry18 I believe it's called closer to love

  • @orangeberry18 Here we go again. It's on the city of black and white I think. Hope I helped.

  • @orangeberry18

    The song you're looking for is Here We Go

    Oh, oh

    Here we go again

    I know how I lost a friend

  • @orangeberry18 "Here We Go", perhaps? Check that one out. It may be it.

  • @orangeberry18 Maybe Never Be Ready

  • @orangeberry18 I think maybe you are talking about Jamie Cullum who sings "Lover You Should Have Come Over"... =)

  • I stumbled across Matt after listening to a soundtrack and now I am hooked. Awesome, lyrics, music, attitude-all an inspiration...a true Artist... one of today's greats

  • great song mat! i love the soh´ngs of him

  • Great...Great song. thanks Mat!!!!!!

  • Awesome song Matt,likin it keep up this and your big time !!! :)

  • Great Job Hope to get your new cd. You sound very good star quallity. Please feel free to comment on vote on my videos.

  • great job hope you keep singing it sounds awesome. thank you for the advice.

  • I would never rely on the marketing machine, that is the music business, to tell me what is relevant. Most of my favorite songs are by musicians that have never been played on mainstream radio anyways. I sometimes wonder if the conveyance of sentiment is more then some people care to allow themselves to experience. I like to be stirred more deeply then what a lot of musicians can reach.

  • He is so AWESOME live! Would see him in concert over and over again!

  • this is good misic

  • fantastic

  • beatiful.

  • i cant see how hes anything like Chris Martin

  • holllly moly itt's coldplay!! haha

    awesome :)

  • different styles tho, you cant really compare them but if you did mat kearney wins lol

  • absolutely phenomenal!

  • His voice like Chris Martin, awesome!!

  • he is way better then chris martin

  • i can't believe you said he's better than chris but yes, i agree! haha

  • Stop smokin' crack! He's a wannabe Chris Martin. And plus Coldplay has like 10 hit songs... how many does this tool have? I can only think of one "Nothing Left To Lose." =(

  • Ahh... Nothing Left To Lose, Undeniable, Breathe In Breathe Out, and Closer To Love... 4 hits on 2 albums. And he's definitely not a wannabe Chris Martin because Chris Martin DOESN'T rap. Mat does. Just because their voices are similar, doesn't mean he's a wannabe. Just so you know...

  • the styles arent even the same so we shouldnt even be having this conversation lol meh watever, i am not a big cold play fan anyway so it doesnt matter to me

  • indeed. they are completely different.

  • so now cuz i think chris martin sucks compared to Mat Kearney he is a tool? wow.... 4 hits in two albums is pretty damn amazing, chris martin has had how many albums released? o and he stole a song from Joe Satriani so that makes him even better now

  • i know this was like a month ago but i read it and i wanna throw in my opinion, lol. I love both Coldplay (and by the way it's Coldplay, not just Chris Martin) and Mat Kearney.. neither of them are super famous but both of them have around five really well-known songs.. Chris and Mat sound a lot alike but that doesn't mean they're the same, they're different.. also you don't need to say Chris sucks or Mat's a tool, it's just unnecessary, and people have different opinions so ahh.. yeah. =]

  • oh also, Viva la Vida sounds a lot like Joe Satriani's song (sorry I forget the name at the moment) but that doesn't mean they stole it, I've heard music that sounded a lot more similar and no one ever thought they stole it =]

  • look for a video where they play both songs together, its the same tempo, tone and everyhting

  • @GothamzJoker coldplay doesnt have 10 hit songs they have like two lol.

  • Okay, I was exaggerating just a bit. They have more like 9 hit songs. Clocks Fix You In My Place Speed Of Sound Talk The Scientist Trouble Viva La Vida Yellow Now you tell me those weren't hit songs?
  • @GothamzJoker Only clocks and Viva la vida are hit songs. I wasnt exagerating

  • Yellow, Fix You, Speed of Sound, and the Scientist were pretty big to not include, KyleSir. Plus they have a couple off the last CD that are becoming popular. (Strawberry Swing, Life In Technicolor ii...I think thats what they're called)

  • Srry mate but i dont consider songs real big if i cant hear em on the radio. Just a personal thing.

  • all those are on the radio. coldplays least popular songs are more popular than mat's most popular. but i enjoy mat WAY more.

  • @GothamzJoker i'd say they were

  • oh and don't forget the scientist

  • oops never mind you have it

  • This is the firs tim iver heard this song...great song...great singer...lol i love his getto strap:D very old skool :D

  • My preferred song of Mat! :-)

  • Thanks for posting this, assassin! Between Kearney and Newsboys, you've got good taste in music! =)

  • Love him (: love the song

  • No but seriously, would you swallow his jizz?

  • it makes me remember my past.. ='C

    very touching..

  • Great stuff!! Very nice!

  • So touching.

  • wow,omd this is the first i've heard of this its amazing different sound but same feeling/story as his other stuff.i love it soo much/alote.XDtis amazing.keep doing stuff like this.ur old stuff is good but this is better.

  • what kinda acoustic does he have in this vid cuz i need a new one and i like his

  • Mat plays a Martin. This looks like a 000-15 model. It runs for $950 in most retail stores. He usually plays a D-28 during live shows I believe and its obviously converted into an electric-acoustic. A basic D-28 Martin is near $3,000 but its an amazing and beautiful guitar, as are all Martins.

  • does anyone know what effect he uses for his voice? its like slight delay or chorus?

  • does anybody know waht kinda guitar mat kearney has in this video?

  • Comment removed

  • Looks like a vintage Martin I have a 1946 martin. and it looks very similar

  • mat sound liek cold play and dAVId cook sound like kings of leon

  • I would like to know when Matt Kearney is coming to Minnesota or nearabouts in the not to distant future. Can anybody let a little bear in the woods know? Please.

  • Amazing song and one of my favorite artists ever.  Love you Mat. He is amazing, and I am going to see him in November so excited :D.

  • Mat Kearney = Perfection

  • Great!!!

  • Can I sing back-up for you, Mat?! :-) Love it!

  • LOVE Mat Kearney! Just saw him in concert and he is so gifted and talented. He's gonna be big, I tell ya!

  • i found this coz ashley mentioned this in one of her myspace blogs...i like this song!! might have to check out some of his other songs now... :)

  • love it

  • wow great song, found my suprise.... love it

  • Great song. Great artist! Thanks for the music Mat! Content Manager approves!! ;-)

  • great song and great artist!! the new album is awesome!!

  • by far best song. best singer. best. best. best. love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! This version is awesome. Matt you're talented. Thanks for giving us something so great to listen to. God Bless :)

  • i spy a National

  • i loooove this songs, plus the lyrics to song are incredible!

  • Beautiful song.

  • Great SONG

  • great musicians...anyone know their names? [besides kearney, of course]

  • Don't have names but Mat's main guitarist he tours with is Tyler Burkum from Audio Adrenaline. His bassist is Tony Lucido who has done stuff with tobyMac and Mandisa. His drummer is Jeremy Lutito who is from Jars of Clay... And thats all I know:) Hope that helps:)

  • Who is the girl signing with Mat in this video?

  • I'm guessing a local Nashville singer or someone under Columbia.

  • It's Ashley Monroe.

  • Thought so... She did vocals on Fire & Rain (acoustic).

  • Mat Kearney is hands down my favorite artist. Holy CRAP I can't wait for his new album!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

    Haha but seriously. Mat is the shiz.

  • The meaning is confusing. I get the whole here we go at it 3 years later concept... But the chorus? I'm guessing God possibly? It's fitting for Kearney. In the actual recording he says Oh, Lord before he started a verse. That's just my guess. What do ya'll think?

  • It must be about God. sounds to be very fitting. It seems like he's telling God how he's been because maybe God's too far away to recognize how well Kearney's been. The lyrics do mention: 'don't you come around here anymore.' Great song, by the way. The song makes perfect sense to me, thanks for the upload, I love his work.

  • I think the dont you come around here anymore is talking about fear. because the last line is talking about draggin fear out the door. I don't think Mat would say God's too far away.

  • Then again, the song could be about a girl. I'm just thinking of the possibilities. The mentioning of fear is in regards of whoever he is talking to taking it away from him. That person makes him feel powerful. Again, I think it could be a girl because he mentions the person being in New York City.

  • possibily. but the 2nd verse contradicts that. It might be about multiple things. He does that a lot.

  • Whoooo!

  • Nice.
