I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost my aunt yesterday she died in her sleep and this song popped in my head. When I was a teenager she said this was our song "I wish the real would would just stop hassling me"
It's now 2024, and as I'm watching this video on my phone, it brings back memories of when I was 16, watching this on VH1 in my parents' living room in 1998. Oh the good old days 😌
One of those bands that you knew, back then, that they would end up with a phenomenal greatest hits album, after only the first 2 albums. Imagine picking the songs for it. I'd be conflicted. :-)
So true, I wonder how many people feel this way? I know it's part of getting older, but it really seems like the 90s was the last decade of another world. People who didn't live through it can't really relate, I guess.
@@Tu-mamaa I'm 64 and they said the same thing about us when we young for not wanting not to go to war Its just the media dividing us by misrepresenting the truth of who we are so we will fight amongst ourselves and ignore the crime of the state.
Get set for a shock, cause I'm 72 and I still love this song from when it came out and my daughter played it for me! However, overall, I still think the best rock music in history came out of my formative years, 1965-1975!
Yesterday my daughter was upset that fireworks got rained out and I said I can’t control the weather. She said “WELL YOU SHOULD!” and I immediately thought of this song 🤣
I didn't get this song until all these years later; life experience brought me to the same place of the writer and singer and performance artists and the their creation--blessings
Stopped by an ice cream joint last night. The two young ladies behind the counter who were in their early twenties were listening to this. I guess I'm officially old?
Heard this on the radio yesterday mon d way to get my kids from school I got lost in time for a couple of mins I haven't heard this song in like 10 years or more time flies I'm telling ya
TEN years? Big deal,..a time span here as a drop in the bucket. Try coughing up a tune, T.V. commercial, or video you haven't seen or heard in 30, 40, 50 years from U-tube, Your just a kid. Robert at 69.
Well, I wonder what it's like to be a rainmaker I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one And you can come and see them when I'm done When I'm done I wonder what it's like to be a superhero I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown, yeah From some other planet, I'd get this funky high on the yellow sun Boy, I bet my friends will all be stunned They're stunned Yeah Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here? If I was someone else, would this all fall apart? Strange, where were you when we started this gig? I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me Do you? Do you? And me Well, I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said (just what I said) Well, I'd shout out an order "I think we're out of this, man, get me some" Boy, don't make me wanna change my tone My tone Yeah Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here? If I was someone else, would this all fall apart? Strange, where were you when we started this gig? I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me Please don't change, please don't break 'Cause the only thing that seems to work at all is you Please don't change at all for me To you and you, to me, yeah Yeah Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here? If I was someone else, would this all just fall apart? Strange, where were you when we started this gig? I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me To you and me
Who was the camel? What was its name? What was it like working with an actual camel and how did you feel about the strange augmentation of it? is the camel still alive today?
When was the last time they toured? Wish i could have seen them back then but i didn't live anywhere close to where they'd play and i was like 11 or 12. The last thing i remember rob thomas doing was that song with the piano.
I'm not going back to it I won't it's just so hard when I know he's here and it interferes so hard with my communication it's like I talk so easy with u and yet this shit won't me just talk to him like yall
Is this a "you can't have your pudding, until you eat your meat?" with the ice cream salesman-guitarist? Lol xD Trying to make sense of it. I've listened to this song like x100 times in the past couple days.. Guitarist knows what he's doing so well, what beautiful poppy sounds and licks, pairs so well with the vocalist and how he's timed.. Crazy. I would beyond love to listen in on the raw moments in drafting of their songwriting in time. Thank you!

My friend Danny Bonomo loves Matchbox Twenty especially Rob Thomas.
Here in November 2024 ❤ Always will be here listening to Matchbox 20!!
My Dad died in January and my sister in April and when we were kids dad bought this album on a road trip.. man life is a trip.
Sorry to hear this happened to you. Great road trip album. Great memories

@@Smiley35S I'm sorry to hear
Hey I’m sorry for your loss, everything is going to be ok
@@joshuabeebe3886 thank you 🙏
Who's listening in 2024?
Gonna cover this in my rock band, too. RT has some great material.
It's now 2024, and as I'm watching this video on my phone, it brings back memories of when I was 16, watching this on VH1 in my parents' living room in 1998. Oh the good old days 😌
Amen, the good old days!
Right back at ya I was 38 and now 64 and like red wine this gets better with age.
Haha Matchbox was definitely a VH1 band. I love this band in my 30s and now I get why my mother always had VH1 on when I was little
One of those bands that you knew, back then, that they would end up with a phenomenal greatest hits album, after only the first 2 albums. Imagine picking the songs for it. I'd be conflicted. :-)
Matchbox is the best!
My mom loved you guys and your music💯She was killed in a car accident in Nov. 2022 but I still blast your music in rememberance of her🕊️💙🕊️
Your mom's still with you ❤
Sorry for your loss 😢😢
The world was so vibrant back then, now it just feels so cold, grey and empty.
So true, I wonder how many people feel this way? I know it's part of getting older, but it really seems like the 90s was the last decade of another world. People who didn't live through it can't really relate, I guess.
I am 38 and extremely biased against young people. They sicken me with their bruh and “low key”.
What did we ever do 😭😭😭some of us aren’t that bad rightttt
@@Tu-mamaa There is no good, I'm just not bad in the ways that I'm supposed to be bad.
@@Tu-mamaa I'm 64 and they said the same thing about us when we young for not wanting not to go to war Its just the media dividing us by misrepresenting the truth of who we are so we will fight amongst ourselves and ignore the crime of the state.
It’s now 2023 and I still love this song and MB20.
Some things never change no matter how many years have passed! ☮️🎶
Absolutely. Looks like rob thomas is walking a camel 🐪 across bowling 🎳alley lanes…this videos atleast 20 years ahead of it’s time
Matchbox20 and their music are timeless.

Robs music is always the best to me💯💯💯💯
"Real World" was the fourth single from 'Yourself or Someone Like You', released on May 12, 1998.
I miss 90's Matchbox...
Cheers to 26 years of this classic that still is very relevant in today's crazy world.
WAS IT 1996 WHEN IT DEBUTED?
Better than Church perchs music
geez, this song could be taught in a master's-level course on songwriting...
Yesterday my daughter was upset that fireworks got rained out and I said I can’t control the weather. She said “WELL YOU SHOULD!” and I immediately thought of this song 🤣
the real world just doesn'tstop hassling us
They do brought to you by the frequency generators nearest you
shes right!
I wonder what it's like to be a rain...stopper?
🎵 Boy dont make me wanna change my.........tone🎵 🤣 My favorite line.
My cat Anika loves this song it’s her favorite ❤
just STOP hasslin' me...
And You and YOU and ME!😊
🕊❤️🇺🇲🎶
"i'd store it in little boxes with little yellow tags on everyone, and you can come and see me when i'm done,"

And the Sunshine is so beautiful today!💯✝️
Thank you my friend 💯✝️
3:05 this part always hits just right for that good nostalgia feeling 🤘🏽
And you know the Lord does not do bad things just allows it.

This song is how I wake up every morning.
Love matchbox twenty

Hermosa cancion Rob cantas lindo y escucharte verte, nos haces feliz, exitos y bendiciones

Great song!
Glad all these money hungry bs labels aren't existent anymore and I can have my real world here... love u rob can't wait to meet u!!!
It feels pretty good.
The camel's! pretty cool.🙂
Underrated song
between this and North as my favorite MB20 album
Still playing in 2024 have my kids signing it
How, does this only have 26 comments, and so few views. It makes very little sense from when it was released and compared to their other stuff.
This song on the Matchbox Twenty channel has over 18M views.
get this funky high from a yellow sun ... acid trips late 90s hit a little bit different Im guessing. Love vibes.
They're stunned.....
Heard this on the radio yesterday mon d way to get my kids from school I got lost in time for a couple of mins I haven't heard this song in like 10 years or more time flies I'm telling ya

PLEASE, FORGIVE!!! U TUBE ❣️.
Reminds me of beinf a waitress at a poolhall in irving,tx early90s. They (ya'll) havent changed a bit. Keep it up
0:08 Rob Thomas watching Kazuchika Okada wrestle
Good song 👍🌹
90's anthem
Lots of symbolism in this song, the camel, news media …etc
A camel & the news media is not lots of symbolism
Yup it's there!
He is pretty intense too!!!
And he is also married!!! 💙
The master musician, he is!!!
Real 💯
He's so 🔥
Right?!?!? 🔥🔥🔥
I love Rob Thomas! Comment if you want to be friends😊❤
My god he's so cool lol
Well, I wonder what it's like to be a rainmaker
I wonder what it's like to know that I made the rain
I'd store it in boxes with little yellow tags on every one
And you can come and see them when I'm done
When I'm done
I wonder what it's like to be a superhero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown, yeah
From some other planet, I'd get this funky high on the yellow sun
Boy, I bet my friends will all be stunned
They're stunned
Yeah
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me
Do you?
Do you?
And me
Well, I wonder what it's like to be the head honcho
I wonder what I'd do if they all did just what I said (just what I said)
Well, I'd shout out an order
"I think we're out of this, man, get me some"
Boy, don't make me wanna change my tone
My tone
Yeah
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else, would this all fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me
Please don't change, please don't break
'Cause the only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change at all for me
To you and you, to me, yeah
Yeah
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here?
If I was someone else, would this all just fall apart?
Strange, where were you when we started this gig?
I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me
I wish the real world, would just stop hasslin' me
I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me

WEB RÁDIO ROCK FM BRASIL RIO DE JANEIRO ME TROUXE AQUI 🇧🇷🤘🎸
When was the last time they toured? Wish i could have seen them back then but i didn't live anywhere close to where they'd play and i was like 11 or 12. The last thing i remember rob thomas doing was that song with the piano.
The lyrics of this song seem more relevant in 2024 than ever
❤❤❤
I wonder what's it's like being, extraterrestrial 💯✝️✝️✝️💯🤷♀️
Dude is making a statement carrying a briefcase walking over bowling lanes leading a camel...
Ya we know what's up we didn't then maybe but we do now.
I wish the real world would stop hassling me
90s
I believe so!!!
I'm not going back to it I won't it's just so hard when I know he's here and it interferes so hard with my communication it's like I talk so easy with u and yet this shit won't me just talk to him like yall
🔥❤ Rob Thomas 🤟🏻
1997 - 2007: music became somewhat relevant in some ways as a cultural beacon of social discontent 🤨😌🥹
What a great song coffeeshop song Phil
