Matthew Santos - Uncertainties - www.candyrat.com

[MrKizZeh]

More proof that the best music out there is always on Youtube...

[97braveheart]

Singers these days don't really play music with feeling and show emotion like this guy....great guitar player and singer nice job!!!

[Dekoio]

Original and Inspiring musician!:)

[suth108]

Authentic is the word for him

[mosegee]

I first heard him live with Lupe Fiasco and decided to check him out. Straight authentic



[mosegee]

This guy is awesome!

[mayakikun]

This guy is so incredible sensitive to his surrounding / environment.. it's simply unbelievable.

[tskv]

"I've got this funny feeling the woman I've been longing for is in my imagination" hits me right in the gut. It's how I feel about myself and the woman I long to be. The whole song strikes a chord...several chords... in my heart as a 40 something stay-at-home mother and wife.

Thank you to Matthew Santos for sharing this with us.

[Invasn4334]

he's for sure a Jeff Buckley fan

[kristalpastor]

wow! thank you very much Mr Wayne Keller. I think you're actually right! Great

[kristalpastor]

What is that he says after "Politics and all the lies"?? I've searched for the lyrics and the phrase I read everywhere just doesn't seem to fit in what he says. Does anybody know? Try to figure it out listening to the song, not searching for the lyrics. Thanks. Love the song and the singer

[MrWayneKeller]

@kristalpastor I've always thought it was "like a veil over our eyes."

[mrstones89]

Beautifull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JJGMTS]

i really like the song but does anyone else get the feeling that there's a little too much going on? i feel like this could be split into two or three different songs!

[americozucco]

@JJGMTS That's exactly what I like about it!

[biroskao]

toma no cu com essa poha puta que pariu

[bathory1234567890]

He looks like Ryan Gosling.

[BlaccBoii]

Wow, Is this the same Matthew Santos who's also featured on Lupe Fiasco's albums !?

[rdcate]

@BlaccBoii Yes it is! :]

[RebornLegacy]

Drop a coin was the best song on this album, you guys should listen to that

[fecci]

Matthew I wonder if you ever read these posts, should you ever take the time to appreciate the people that love your voice, your style and the general image of yourself that you tend to project, then it should only push you to fight for your rightful place amongst the well known and well placed "stars" of today. But I guess that it's those "uncertainties" that keep you from reaching the throne. Good luck, your talent deserves it.

[cicidelan]

OMG....for the first time i heard his voice , his style and lyrics, i said this guy will be be really famous one day....where can i download his songs pls?

[heyitscaroline]

Beautiful voice...

[SpeedFreakMRDJ]

lupe tries to aid in matt's exposure but people are too ignorant to seek out matt's music though they love his voice in all of lupe's biggest hits

[babsiileinchen]

His voice reminds me of Jeff Buckley <3 !!!

[lilburtonboy7489]

saw this guy a few weeks ago in a bar with about 25 people in it....

[heyitscaroline]

@lilburtonboy7489 Are you serious...... I'm so jealous.

[aaronaem]

@lilburtonboy7489 Was it a dream?

[lilburtonboy7489]

@aaronaem well, i had no idea who it was actually. He was just the opener for some obscure rapper. All of the sudden, my wife was all "OH EM GEE, MATTHEW SANTOS!!" So i was pissed cuz she was so into him, but then i realized how amazing he is an fell in love with him as well...so yes, he's amazing live....really funny too

[39YJD]

kinda looks like serj HAHA

[captxxchaos]

@39YJD more like young freddie prince jr. lol

[guitarlady46]

Oh my goodness....I'm talkin bout front row seats!!!!!! You Bad!!!!!!

[arishegg]

This guy is so good. Normally when I hear a song with lyrics that dont make me want to kill something (IE Metal lyrics) I get annoyed. But this guy is acting as an outstanding exception

[justdaaancing]

This. is. amazing.

I LOVE YOU MATTHEW!!

[cassiuskashmir]

has anyone tabbed this song??

[39YJD]

@cassiuskashmir Just watch his hands.. :D

[dunn4040]

Bought his cd after watching these videos about a year ago. Still listen to it all the time. Great stuff!

[bam77ol]

demmet i buy the album after i heard this song this guy is awesome he have really cool ideas !!!!! wish u the best bro succes!!!!

[monochrome72]

OMFG...Jeff Buckley is alive and lives in this awesome singersong write.. !!!

Im an instant fan now... Love it!

[alchee05]

wooow :D this is so nice :))

[akj375]

Can somebody please convince Matthew to come up to Canada... say Vancouver or at least close enough to the border so we can get out and see him :)

[sveissable]

THIS GUY CAN SANG!!!!!!! I LOVE HIS VOICE IT IS ORIGINAL. I hope he will put out a new album somtime soon. Talent like his should not go unnoticed.

[muzzickman]

Holy Shit Batman! This is..... soul-stirring....

[deviate1966]

Amazing!

[DnB080]

So raw... So real <3

[umsd]

the more i listen and think about this song the more the symbolic the lyrics start become lol

[KelseySk8]

you can really tell he sings from his heart

[sweden92]

How!?!?! Just kidding, he's amazing!

[MrFranklebean]

this guys voice and talents are amazing!! not too many ppl care for his work, but i love it. the songs are just too deep for the generation, but those who are on his level can agree that he's awesome

[akj375]

@MrFranklebean - Likewise with Ray Lamontagne. You would think guys with this level of lyrical and vocal ability, with such incredible emotion would be known far and wide. Unfortunately not the case though.

[Fayeeetje]

you can touch a soul with that voice!

[NPC919]

Sweet jesus, this guy doesn't have enough views.

I can respect it's amusing qualities but a fat kid dancing about with a pole has over 15 million views... Youtube confuses me sometimes.

[DonRico333]

@NPC919 true true lol

[halfbreed02]

@NPC919 Thats Americans for ya

[Ornithus]

Songs like this remind me why I love music.

[akj375]

Songs like this ARE music, i.e. as opposed to what the prevailing understanding of "music" is.

[alxjamal]

cool... coool... coooool.... cooooooool

[LightingIdeas]

Completely mindblowing that this has only been viewed 45,000 times.

There really isn't even words to describe how talented you are Mr Santos, although, I imagine you could come up with a few.

[dhhs91]

@LightingIdeas One year after your comment and only 20k more views... he deserves much, much more.

One of his best songs, btw.

[planispoetry31]

The lyrics are only true for certain people. Probaly explains the low view count. This song explained feelings i couldn't

[akj375]

Good for you! You obviously you don't live on the same planet as the rest of us. Apparently where you're from, politicians don't lie, violence and the atrocities of war are entirely unheard of, and economic inequity also doesn't exist. Could you please tell the rest of us where you live so we could join you.

[ubernagash]

not read his post mate but form the way you explain it i would say Nevernever land

no wait even thats his it issues with violence ¬_¬

[planispoetry31]

you obviously didn't get what my intention was with that comment. which explains why I made the commment

[darkburnout00]

True for meeeeeeeeeeee

I love this song

[elmo5321987]

Just like Jeff Buckley he melts my soul when i hear him....I could listen to him any time of the day, anywhere in any situation....The kind of words that when spoken could bring tears to your eyes just because how sweetly they've been spoken....i love him.

[GrownKid01]

this dude is right sad really when u think about you want 2 be with someone bad you start to make them to be someone there not... an you still try but theres a point you ve gotta stop an today is the day..if it dont work at least we ve all got friends right?

[edgarSmile]

deep thoughts

[Kryptonian57]

Agree with captainmorgan6666, a touch of Buckley and smooth guitar skills.

Question though... is this the same guy that sang on the Lupe Fiasco track Superstar??

[kexim08]

yup

[edgarSmile]

oh Really!! :O !!

[Wildcard264]

yep

[Emceetem]

Yeah, but he's much more than just hip-hop music.

[ikkakukenpachi]

Nice!

[InfiniteChaos2]

that was soothing.

[Benja123456]

I love your voice !

[captainmorgan6666]

wow thats so jeff buckley kick ass

[mikostratocaster]

great control man. great job. i wish i was one of you guys

[Segura99]

i love you.

[salivaalab]

he has a chord for each sentence lol. truly deserves the name musician.with his care and love for each song....

[girleeee25]

i am ur biggest fan! i luv ur music! please go on concert soon! i luv ur music! keep composing and doing wat u do best!

[ropes29]

you capture the heart! thank you!

[mikeedude09]

anyone got a peanut?

[uruuruis]

u're right, but i guess he prefer to have funs like us who likes truly music and know how to listen it! anyway he will be famous! i know it! just keep listening to him!

[uruuruis]

it is like that music i used to heard when i was a child and now i dont remember the name! now i found him! this empty space is full now! thnz! greate music

[sandm7376]

I love him

[Jaycieboi]

It saddens me to know that music this good will never be popular.

People only like the same stuff they've heard over and over.

Brilliant music, maestro.

May your soul continue to inspire and mesmerize those fortunate enough to find you.

:)

[SolEnterprisesDM]

oh we will be big trust me

he's signed to lupe fiascos label fnf and lupe is becoming in the most repected rapper in rap history mark my word

[neetpooh]

i loooovvveeee this. good music is therapy and this certainly does the trick cause i couldnt feel better

[johved]

I think he has the most unique voice i've ever heard.

[wpditerl]

nickj077, don't worry he can be all our little secret. It's other people's loss right?

[piratesrtoocool]

good i lyke sooperstar betta

[treyab85]

When ever i listen to Matthew i can't help but close my eyes and smile. he has such an amazingly pure voice that it brings tears to my eyes.

[RobRock87]

I love this man!

[Moeswithhisdoubts]

We've got a new Jeff Buckley in this world.

I'm so happy, tonight.

How could I did not know such a unique talent.

Meraviglioso

[coreyk84]

If this was just audio, I would've guessed he was 40 years old. Great song.

[OneHandoMando]

I agree completely. And i got this funny feelin I'm responsible for like 200 of them views.

[nickj077]

Haha, yeah, I'm gettin' up there in views too.

[RobRock87]

other 200 viewa from me

[nickj077]

HOW IN THE WORLD does this vid have less than 30k views!?

[Krishnaisgod]

I hate to sound cliche, but i feel like this song preaches my life.

The girl, the world, the sea, the life...everything.

[SimAtlantida]

I loooooveeeeee listening to this! wonderful voice, wonderful play, wonderful everything!

[erikaNandi]

perhaps lyrics anyone?

[XveggieXfreakX]

this is AWESOME......this should have WAY more views.

[sincer1982]

Great song very insightfull

[MASTERkeanu]

i wish him the best and hope he becomes recognized worlwide!

[joebelack]

such a unique and complex voice. Matthew's songs are so haunting and unlike any other artists. so good.

[kristabel92]

is it just me or does it look like all the songs on candyrat are filmed in a confession booth in like a church or something..

which for this song would be quite ironic but still!!

am I on my own here?!

[Wopefi]

Haha yea i know what you mean, i noticed that too.

[SimAtlantida]

hahhaah! indeed, I hope they'll do something about this. confession booth!:))) but you are right!:)

[CupRed92]

i think all these videos are filmed inside rpoland's house

[sasquall]

soothing...

[DillonPatton]

Beautiful composition.

I love it.

[ubernagash]

two words, FUCKING AWSOME.....

[Wopefi]

i would love to have tabs for this song.

[sonicgauge1]

BRAVO!

[johved]

These lyrics are mind blowing genius.

[andersse]

Eeek, i put my comments as replies to other comments, why doesnt it put them indented??

[kristabel92]

does anyone know the chords to this?

please

[briank53]

Got this funny feeling, Maybe I think too much. Like a shelf poking out proudly, (?) Philosopher who's lost his mind, Lovers lost his touch. But I got this funny feeling, The woman that I've been longing for, Is in my imagination. She's just my projection, (?) My sweet little confection, But seems all i got, Are these all uncertainties and a long road ahead of me Seems all i got are these uncertanties and a long road ahead of me.

[andersse]

I'm a bit lost on this "Like a shelf poking out proudly"...

To me it sounds like "Like a chef poking at a proudy philosopher..." even though it doesn't make much more sense.

[chanter23]

like a chef poking and prodding...

[briank53]

But I got this funny feeling,

Like I wanna do some good.

But feel all tangled up on the inside,

I still like to think I could

I still like to think I would,

[briank53]

The world just seems a headache (?) The oceans steady on the rise, The children killing children. Politics and all the lies, Like a veil over our eyes. Seems all I've got are these uncertainties and a long road ahead of me. Seems all I've got is these infatutations, constant complications, these are my creations, Don't ever have the patience to break on free, to break on free.

[andersse]

The world just seems so heavy

...

Got children killing children

...

Hope I have the patience to break on free.

...

[briank53]

Sometimes you gotta hurt, child.

Just to know that you're alive.

Just to know that you're got choice, yes.

That you're more than just your mind,

because we all need a little time.

Seems like all I got are these uncertanties,

and a long road ahead of me. [Repeat 3x]

Seems like all I got are these infatuations,

constant complications, these are my creations,

don't ever have the patience, the patience, to break on free.

[andersse]

Just to know that you've got choices.

...

hope I have the patience, ...

....

[Ludoveeko]

Like the lyrics, but i can't find them all in the web, does anyone knows a page with his lyrics? I speak spanish so i get lost sometimes. Eventough i heard this: "Sometimes you gotta hurt child" And when i heard that, it kills me. Needed to hear something like this. Wish Matt gets recognized. And HELL YEAH with a good band he would hit the mainstream. I see he do a battery sound with his fingers to gain better rythm. Well... keep it comming Matt

[Ichiryusei]

does anyone know what chords he is playing, i only have G major, A something, D major, and C major, i dont know the other chords, if someone does can u help me out i would really appreciate it

[andersse]

I posted a video with some VERY sloppy input for you. Apologies in advance for guitar out of tune, and fingers out of control.

[Ichiryusei]

does anyone know what chords he is playing, i only have G major, A something, D major, and C major, i dont know the other chords, if someone does can u help me out

[XveggieXfreakX]

gollie ghee, i absolutely LOVE this song!

[jimdino77]

this dude is ill as hell...... ridiculous talent

[skatefarmerftw]

i absolutely love this song...could hit the main stream with a band behind him.

[MikeDevaney]

I think he could hit the mainstream without one, chris carraba did it. And this dude has 10 times the voice.

[TheRainbowTheory]

Kinda John Mayer/ Jamie Cullum/ Buckleyish...

Very individual vocal elements man :) awesome

[DatGreen4695]

Dave anybody????? Or is it just me

[melonheed3]

mmm yeah a little..but listen to a few jeff buckley songs and youre mind will be changed.

[oxusun11]

Dave sucks. He's got nothing on Matthew Santos.

[philofelinist]

I am blown away. Truly. PLEASE COME TO TORONTO MATTHEW! BY YOURSELF!

[jpladd4]

Dude, your amazing!

[garamond79]

Jeff Buckley is definitely hiding in there somewhere ;)

Beautiful lyrics and incredible sound, what more do you need?

[JupiterLuv]

He's voice is so sexy. It just melts my heart away. *sigh*

[fretsurfer]

i close my eyes and i can hear jeff buckley.

and that's a good thang.

[faithsonshyne]

Lately... I am stunned by how good this artist is....all the nuances and his open honesty. I hope he he gets his music to the world asap....Earth needs more honest music!!!! Peace :)

[Wiiuser12]

woah ... hees soo good i like him OO...

[lileeza]

i am glad this song is on itunes now. cant get it out of my head.

[whitestripes24]

his voice is amazing...and when you listen to "superstar" you wouldn't think he like a folk singer

but hes so good

[mouldysofa32]

such the good voice ..

[bahrichirah]

this if friggin amazing

[zazzy99]

I think this new medium is killing the likes of MTV. Its way more cost efficent to get some bandwith and advertisers and place yoiur content for all to see and watch at there own leisure than to network broadcast over cable and tv.

[siangster90]

MTV is screwing up the music scene. These ppl... all the candyrat artists belong up there. Seriously, they're not getting the appreciation that's due.

[RickChimera]

Well put. =)

[RickChimera]

I love how he raises his voice while deepening the song in 0.38.

And how he changes the pace in 1.12.. Fantastic. <3

I'm heading in on Amazon to buy the record now.

[Aarexyzm]

I would like to sing like he does !!

[Pkg0ss]

what a great voice you have.

[ChilLmatiC1991]

hes a trully great artist writing very deep songs i love it

[briank53]

Everytime I feel a little down or lost - I watch Matthew Santos... What an inspiration, never fails to make me feel better about just about everything.

[dannykanoista]

I like your voice.

[MusicLover585]

this song is not on i tunes ..ahhh...i really want it ...i was only able to get my remedy on itunes ..does anyone know where i can get it online??

[stavros714]

candyrat records!!

[rpoland]

it is on itune now

[stavros714]

Hey Rob! Nice!

[alliebourden]

haha i know i commented yesterday, but i was wondering where i could find the lyrics to your music? and if you don't have it posted you should do that soon!

you're so good, ahhh swoon.

[alliebourden]

this is SO good. your voice kind of reminds me of jeff buckley! i love it :)

[EtherTrace]

I was totally just thinking that, but with a little twang to it. I think its that thing they do where you think they're done holding a note because it gets all quiet, then they ramp it back up again. Not to mention that wonderful falsetto. It's like my emotions are riding on waves.

[seanwan30]

this guy kicks ass

[stavros714]

Matthew, When things don't make sense, Songs like this are a reminder of what this all about,I'm your biggest fan. You are true artist!

[melfaro]

I have fallen in love with your voice and your style. I want your albums, I want every single one of them the day it comes out.
