Matt's 50 minutes became an hour fifteen because the applause wouldn't stop. Even the act waiting to perform marveled at him. Seen him play a couple of times since and he wowed us each time. Cool guy, too-- hangs around at the merch table after to chat and sign autographs.

      @Matt Andersen yes but my question is why? Why do you need to do that. I don’t particularly have the most time on my hands either. And I’d rather leave it that way at this point. Look I’d appreciate it if you just leave, knowing that you aren’t truly Matt Andersen, it’s quite triggering. Goodbye.

      +Scott Clare I could not agree more ! this man is the definition of talent ! i could listen to him sing all day . I personally would rather listen to a cover from someone sitting down with a guitar or piano on a camera rather then the song from the actual singer because covers are more real , its not tampered with , just true raw talent !

  • @VeritasAlienari

    I have to comment now that I've hit three or four dozen listens:
    I enjoy Bruce Springsteen's writing and style. He's not the greatest musician, nor human, but I do count him as a very positive influence on this world. Some of his songs have inspired me in ways I don't think would be possible outside of a musical framework. That being said, even "the Boss" would agree that sometimes a good song needs to be created first, then performed - truly performed - later. There are live versions that Bruce did this song in which he nailed the very essence of the song, even if possibly missing it during initial recording.
    Now, take Matt Andersen's version here: it was live and this was one take. I have no idea how long he practiced this song, but this performance resonates in a way that the original artist would have to concur is absolutely magnificent. Well done, good sir. Continue singing with soul and heart, whatever those two words mean to you, and all else in your life will stand at attention. You deserve it.
    Here's to you, sir.

  • @lfergie1111
