idk why it went on my youtube feed, but my bf and I wasn't come out yet for a public and his family for more than 2 years and makes me sad to see this song being about that. I hope one day we as a couple have courage and strength to show our loved to public and loved ones.
I feel you. My BF and I lived the same for more than 3 years. His parents are muslims and don't accept it well yet. I'm glad to see more songs like this to help people understand what we live.
Matt just be yourself. I was in a relationship and married for nearly 38 years . Unfortunately my husband died 12 years ago . He was the most fantastic person i ever met. So don't be scared and enjoy life . True love is the most amazing thing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
More and more, I've come to an understanding that true love is something rare. I wish it wasn't, but when I realize that, things have become clearer. To love somebody, especially in these days of social media, is quite hard. My own experience ended with my heart being broken. Anyway, to anybody out there struggling with difficulties in love, never give up in order to feel something real and true. Take care of yourself and be kind to your feelings and needs. You deserve it.
coming out is such a luxurious thing in my country with many reoigious ppl around. I hope i can do that someday. im happy for you matt, and everyone who came out and live their lives hapily. thanks for making such a beautiful song
I was not ready for the feels this gave me! Takes me back to my youth. Live your authentic life everybody - Never let shame, hatred, or fear get in the way!
What a song! That tore me up! Beautiful written song with even more incredible vocals! That song will resonate with a lot of people unfortunately! Be happy and who you are Matt, that all we can do in this short life! I’m both proud and grateful for your honesty and vulnerability!
The first verse strikes me: "You can count on me to be a hypocrite Told your family about me, I never did I can't believe how long I lived like this Now all I see in that mirror, a hypocrite" Thank you for this song. This amplifies my courage to come out soon.
Lovely song Matt with such an empowering message. Life is about feeling..... love and a bunch of other feelings make this life worth living! Love and hugs from Greece !!
i'm 55 now. Came out at age 51. Lived a lie all those years to appease parents and grandparents. I'm in construction so there is a straight image to keep up. No regrets...having fun making up for lost time. Being a silver daddy is the greatest feeling.
Why is people saying they came out lmao... what a bunch of robots. YOU Do not owe anyone an explanation...... LIVE YA LYF people and ask the government why we paying to live
@@musicmojo100 I assume you know nothing about history of fighting for equality. what a ding dong. coming out is not a duty it is a right and a choice and you can't judge people for that.
That means a lot to many of us - we need exactly such people for a better world, for a change - be who you want to be, not how others would like to see you
I have never heard such an honest autobiographical song, everything fits, every word, every line Matt, this is perfect, my eyes are full of tears , and in every sung word I found myself and I should have shouted that the whole village could hear that I love and am loved, but I didn't have the strength for it ... enough hiding in lonely parking lots, forests and motels But now I'm ready and my batteries are full, I'm moving forward... C.M.
Best recommendation ever!! Just heard the song for the first time and I’m already playing it on repeat. I hope more and more people will listen to this beautiful piece and hopefully you’ll get the recognition you deserve.
I’m so happy for u & proud of u, Matt. Since I have seen your performance in “you don’t own me” on X factor, I’m waiting for this moment ❤ Be yourself bro. Rooting for you always …❤❤
This song is beautiful and so relatable! Thank you for sharing something so personal with us Matt and being your true authentic self! I’m so proud of you and I love you so much! 🩷
I'm gay, but in my country this is a bad issue. as if living in the shadows, without direction and purpose. I really kept this a secret, because if friends or other people found out I would definitely be bullied and ostracized. until I prayed to my God, hopefully I would meet a man from out there who could be serious and take me to his country, and start a happy little family.
Ive always loved you no matter what people say your music is beautiful and you as a person count but what a beautiful song and message hope your journey continues as love your music 💖have an incredible voice
Im just hearing your voice at x factor utube, and i like your voice and interesting to know your performance more..then searched more, got some list and just click this your new song and u just came out, a bit shocked but i realized that i like your angelic voice and good performance, so i add this your utube, I pray that you will have a good peacefull happy life and also success and become a big singer in the world..please make more a good song..God bless you matt..from Indonesia..🎉🎉
An absolutely beautiful song. Matt never be what other people want or expect you to be. Just be yourself and definitely be proud of who you are. So many people are too judgemental this days. Well done for such a beautiful song and being yourself. I'm soooo proud of you ❤ xx
I've been a fan of yours since the X-Factor, and I've always rooted for your success, this clip and this song made me see (in addition to always being a wonderful singer) an incredible human being! Continue with your truth and I will always be by your side! Much love to you my beautiful! We are with you! 💙💙💙💙
OH MATT I JUST ADORE YOU . SUCH AN AMAZING TALENT!!!! can’t wait for you to totally blow up it’s just one song away and the WORLD WILL KNOW WHO YOU ARE
Can't believe you've been hiding this side of you for all this time - that lower register of your voice is your super power! Being able to flip to your falsetto may have been your signature move, this song, this time, this new side of your range - in your vocals and in life - it's your real talent, it's your real YOU. 'Stand by Me' as your XFactor audition song was no accident, it was your statement to the world 'I'm Matt Terry and I'm going places, come along for the ride.' Tell him he's gonna need a bigger car, we're still standing by you, still here for this incredible ride. Huggs Matt, loving it, and loving you. ❤🎶😎
Although we live in a world full of people who judge I believe you did an amazing job. Life is too short to be sad cry or anything else, we should just live love and laugh to the fullest
This song puts me in tears, such a beautiful song💙
I've been with my husband for 32 yrs now We got married in 2015 I can't imagine my life without him. So glad there are songs like this coming out now.
EPIC, can i ask a question if possible?
did you guys have kids eventually because i need some answers on how to live a life like yours
idk why it went on my youtube feed, but my bf and I wasn't come out yet for a public and his family for more than 2 years and makes me sad to see this song being about that. I hope one day we as a couple have courage and strength to show our loved to public and loved ones.
Just be optimistic you will , if you practice
I feel you. My BF and I lived the same for more than 3 years. His parents are muslims and don't accept it well yet. I'm glad to see more songs like this to help people understand what we live.
Držím palce, odvaha určitě přijde :-)
@@bedard_francis It's always the same story with Muslims. They will understand everything eventually if he does not marry a woman.
OMG 🥺❤
That’s song is fire 🎉🔥
Matt just be yourself. I was in a relationship and married for nearly 38 years . Unfortunately my husband died 12 years ago . He was the most fantastic person i ever met. So don't be scared and enjoy life . True love is the most amazing thing ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Even if i died or my man if i got boyfriend one day, i want to live that true relationship

I will never find my true love in my country 🇮🇩 bcz illegal being fay here. N i really want to had partner for life. 😢

Thank you representing our reality. Often this is missed. It is refreshing to listen to music thats relates and celebrate our existence.

im happy for you matt, and everyone who came out and live their lives hapily.
thanks for making such a beautiful song
I did just this back in the times where I wasn’t out to my family and friends. That was over 8 years now. Be proud of who you are x

Hi angel… nice inspiring words… how you doing bro….
How my life could have changed for the better if I had been able to see a video like this when I was YOUNG! Awesome!!
Kind of reminds me of my first relationship before I came out
Great song
Congratulations on coming out and being you
