This reminds me of a friend I lost a while back. He saw the world like this, he was frustrated and determined to fix it if he could. When I listen to this song it's like he's still there. Like he never left. I love this song more than I love a lot of things, no book or movie has lived up to these 6 minutes.
It's so sad when young rainbow people never get the chance to meet others of their kind. The weight of this fucked up world is often too much to be borne alone.

I HAVE NEVER HEARD SO MUCH UNCENSORED TRUTH IN ONE SONG MATT 🎵 YOU ARE ALREADY FAMOUS IN HEAVEN , ALL THE ANGELS SAY YOU ARE ONE OF US NOW AND FOREVERMORE a fool 4 christ THERE GOES MY HERO ❤❤❤
Wow, that was so good. I'm exhausted after just listening to the song! It is an intelligent tour of many of the inequities of man, the ways power is used to perpetuate itself. We've got so much work to do to fix society.
God damn this song always impresses me whenever I come back to it. Great stuff, can't believe this guy hasn't gone farther yet. Can't wait to see him enjoy his shine when it finds him.
Oh hey, Bob Dylan is back and he is PISSED. Or Arlo Guthrie, or something like that. This man is a true artist. Keep it up Matt, the world needs people who are willing to make a statement like this whether or not anyone listens to it.

Because of the lyrical content. Look at the content of his lyrics compared to what is "big". Its a problem. The masses look at his lyrics as propaganda.
cause he isnt trying to appeal to the masses he is making art and people dont want art they want mass produced garbage that makes them feel safe from there shitty lives and distract them from our crumbling society
"Saftey" @ 4:18 lolol besides that this song never gets old, came across it almost 2 weeks ago and its amazing to think how relevant this song is to events from the last few years
So ill just work toward the future May it crumble for the better Where tyranical oppresors Are just shadows we remember No judgment based on color Or your lover or your gender Dismantle older models So they cant be reasembled But the day the tables turn your way Watch out for a twist of fate Careful not to stumble and become The very thing you hate Genius. This song is slamming.

Very nicely done. Great lyrics and energy here. This is the first full song of yours I have heard. A friend posted some clips of your gig in St Louis and I’m glad to see so much passion.

Uh. This deserves to be played at more protests. I'm not fucking joking. This should be played at every protest.
A modern classic folk song. The more things change the more they stay the same.

I relate, because I actively feel this way about the world. Sorry for your loss, man.
Do something about it!

This just became more relevant than ever
Yeah no shit, it was made 3 years ago lol
More so now bahahaha
And now
@@Nicole-xp1hz for real. its all going to shit
This song explains everything happening right now. We love you Matt.
You deserve a larger platform.. more people need to hear this.
Matt pless is an amazing artist and I hope he gets the credit he deserves! This song was like a rabbit hole for me! 🐇
I thought this was written recently. It was not. Fantastic song. Please keep making more
This makes me happy and sad at the same time
I HAVE NEVER HEARD SO MUCH UNCENSORED TRUTH IN ONE SONG MATT 🎵 YOU ARE ALREADY FAMOUS IN HEAVEN , ALL THE ANGELS SAY YOU ARE ONE OF US NOW AND FOREVERMORE a fool 4 christ THERE GOES MY HERO ❤❤❤
A masterpiece. This man is truly a kindred soul

I like the Bob Dylan theme. The Ipad instead of the cardboard was a clever touch.
You’d think this was written in the last couple months.
I know he's the best interviewing between left and right letting everyone on the bird or plane we are all just trying to survive.....best guy ever 🙏
I wish that made more sense
Missed you at the barrows party bummed
Just spreading the message
God damn this song always impresses me whenever I come back to it. Great stuff, can't believe this guy hasn't gone farther yet. Can't wait to see him enjoy his shine when it finds him.
Very well written, with a frustration and energy that shines through. And I enjoy the Dylan inspiration. Really great!!!

Keep it up Matt, the world needs people who are willing to make a statement like this whether or not anyone listens to it.

Or we'll change the world with guns.
We'll plant a seed or dig a grave

What up?
Best line.
The ends are tied inexorably to the means. One cannot break the cycle of 10,000 years through a revolution that is primarily violent.
This and Shots Fired are the best folk punk songs ever written
seriously how is Matt Pless not bigger
Lyrical genius

He doesn't seem like he eats much... makes sense to me
Because he's right.
Wow, sort of Bob Dylan but Punked up and spot on with all those lyrics, love it! Greetings from London ✊🏽🌎

Shh.. I promised him nobody would notice!!
Shibby Pictures noticed what? :p
Loving the Dylan references
I just commented that his a modern day robert zimmerman
There are like eight tracks worth of golden lines in that one song. Astounding.
This is freaking fantastic!!!! Love this 🤘💣💥🥁⚡⚡😊⚡
I have never seen so many likes , comments and views removed ;) this song smells amazing,wakes me up .
Big pat the bunny fan…. Glad TH-cam showed me this
Brilliant, you're a lyrical genius😊
Got to meet and watch Matt play, awesome human being. One of the best house shows I've been to in Lansing.
I listened to this on Spotify like 200 times.
i love your music so much thank you for bringing this into the world it really speaks to me
This is dope..
Just brilliant, Matt Pless.
How did I just now discover this artist this played on my Pandora and it's amazing 👏
SPIT THAT TRUTH MATT PLESS 🤘🤘
Reminds me of Pat Schneeweis
0:30 every verse in this song is a masterpiece I swear but this speaks facts even in 2021.
Damn that dude is impressive! Great lyrics for certain!
Great job, comrade.
Just met him at a house show, he was very cool. I gave him my bracelet that said fuck
So ill just work toward the future
May it crumble for the better
Where tyranical oppresors
Are just shadows we remember
No judgment based on color
Or your lover or your gender
Dismantle older models
So they cant be reasembled
But the day the tables turn your way
Watch out for a twist of fate
Careful not to stumble and become
The very thing you hate
Genius. This song is slamming.
Fuck yeah! An anarchist anthem for the ages.
Bolshevism is an infantile disorder.

What a great song! I want to hear more from Matt
This song is so fucking good. I'm really glad I caught his show in Portland on accident
I just saw Matt when he opened for Southern Culture on the Skids in Annapolis, MD. I had never heard of him & he blew me away! He's amazing!
Great show last night at the Clash Bar in Clifton! I'm a new fan.
I need more of this.
So much truth in a single song.
Brilliant lyrics. Great song. Needs several listenings to get it all, but it's great
Good song, Shoutout to Cricket! for bringing me here.
What a gifted song writrer
When humans inevitably take themselves out, I want this to be the last song ever played.
Subterranean homesick blues!! Sick!
Seriously, I cry at this song like I cry at L'Internationale. I might be a crybaby, but this shiz is the tiz.
This has been my go to 2020 song
Dude this song is the best I love it

Straight fire

I remember when you first did song, it was of one of my faves for sure. Love the message and your energy ❤️
Be cool brother catch you laterz
Oh...yes. This is liked very much with friends, family and I. Beautiful frayed wind a coming.
He's gotta ask his mum some questions, because he might just secretly be a son of Bob Dylan.
Still spreading your music Matt.
so much fucking talent ~ love him
Deserves a proper punk version with a full band backing.
It is on Spotify under when the frayed wind blows full band version
@@MattPless Oh hell yes, this is dope, thank you! Next, it needs an electric guitar/punk rock version!
Just saw you play tonight here in Virginia and this song blew me away. Whole set was fantastic as well.

Resonates today, where is some new vibes?
Hopefully a new song soon
