I'm 72 y.o., and Matts' presence has lifted my spirits with his profound lyrics and has given me hope that our world, and particularly our country, can and will change for the better,. Thanks Matt.
frarfarf ..that's my whole point, fat Mike can't sing for shit...to this day. The rest of the band play well, but fat Mike can't sing...yet he's super Fucking famous. Talent isn't necessary to get famous is the point I was making. 90% of famous musicians nowadays are completely talentless. It's people like this that give me hope that real music will come back into style.
Unless you have spun that Pipe and been tweaked out of your brain coloring for days you cannot fully grasp the true melancholy of this poetry. That is what I love about Matt, He has been through many trials and dark places that most will never experience.
It's 3 AM and the conversation's spent She's waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind And she's got powders and pills Chasing thrills through dollar bills Tracing lines off her reflection with her senses so distilled As she drifts on through this dream She can share her medication but she can't out run the rain When clearly here she stands with candy in her hands She offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand And I'll say "It's alright. No need to ask me twice" She spins the ring so she can sing the crayon song tonight She's gonna sing the crayon song tonight When she calls you can find her in the hall Where she's scribbling a picture she hangs crooked on the wall She's framing false alarms until her chamber mates have gone Then she'll sleep beside the music box whose tune keeps playing on Her behavior seems insane Cause we both know you might overdose from trying to kill The pain but lately here we stand with candy in our hands Let's mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle on the sand We'll just say it's alright 'til once turns into twice Let's spin the ring so we can sing the crayon song tonight We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight I'm off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors Fan the flame and race another day She'll be running all the red lights 'til the candles melt away Along this empty road where the flowers never grow Casting shadows drenched in sorrow from a life She'll spend alone until the sunshine sets her free It appears that you've been down so long, it looks like up to me But sadly here I stand with candy in my hands I mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand And something's not quite right Sometimes you should think twice I spun the rings and now I'll sing the crayon song all night We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight I'm off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors.
Matt really does look like a young Bob Dylan. Hes an amazing artist either way and I thank all of you at Fistfull of Vinyl for helping me find him. Several others as well. Ceschi, Bat Country, Erik Petersen, We The Heathens. I could go on. Point is you guys are great. I love you all and keep making awesome videos.
Dude,my mind is officially blown. I can't wait till I get to share this with my dad. I bet it will bring tears to his eyes. Don't think twice was his song for leaving my mother. In their story my dad was the one playing the crayon song, and he is the one who ended up being alone. Matt you are a genius. And in two days you have become my all time favorite artist. Keep them coming. You are going to be famous worldwide. I'm going to show everyone I possibly can your work❤
I put this song on while I was streaming recently as Matt is one of my favourite artists and he lulled me to sleep with this beautiful song. Thanks Matt for a great song and making me look the fool.
I never bothered watching this guy on your channel, I've listened to every video you guys posted but I must of skipped this one, biggest mistake, this guy is incredible. Only a few people can fit a category of modern day Bob Dylan's and this guy fits right in. Thanks so much for posting so much great music, please keep it coming!
Hey Matt I looked you up and the internet knows all about you! I think you're finally famous. I love this song by the way. Glad to see you're still working so hard. Hope all is well. Much love!

When he says "til once turned into twice" I bet he thought of that guns and roses song that sings a little didn't do it and a little got more and more til a little got more and more...

Awe🥰 I love this✌️
I’m 112 and I agree!
I feel like he's a cousin...
If you can be as good as matt and not be famous there's no Hope for any of us
Oliver Emmett #MakeMattPlessFamous
Joe Defiant his broke ass probably disagrees with you
You've heard of nofx right? You don't need to be good to get famous.
nofx is one of the most influential punk bands ever dude

It's 3 AM and the conversation's spent
She's waiting on the bedside wrapped within the static wind
And she's got powders and pills
Chasing thrills through dollar bills
Tracing lines off her reflection with her senses so distilled
As she drifts on through this dream
She can share her medication but she can't out run the rain
When clearly here she stands with candy in her hands
She offers up the pixie dust and separates the sand
And I'll say "It's alright. No need to ask me twice"
She spins the ring so she can sing the crayon song tonight
She's gonna sing the crayon song tonight
When she calls you can find her in the hall
Where she's scribbling a picture she hangs crooked on the wall
She's framing false alarms until her chamber mates have gone
Then she'll sleep beside the music box whose tune keeps playing on
Her behavior seems insane
Cause we both know you might overdose from trying to kill
The pain but lately here we stand with candy in our hands
Let's mix us up some pixie dust and sprinkle on the sand
We'll just say it's alright 'til once turns into twice
Let's spin the ring so we can sing the crayon song tonight
We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight
I'm off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors
Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors
Fan the flame and race another day
She'll be running all the red lights 'til the candles melt away
Along this empty road where the flowers never grow
Casting shadows drenched in sorrow from a life
She'll spend alone until the sunshine sets her free
It appears that you've been down so long, it looks like up to me
But sadly here I stand with candy in my hands
I mixed up with the pixie dust and sinking in the sand
And something's not quite right
Sometimes you should think twice
I spun the rings and now I'll sing the crayon song all night
We're gonna sing the crayon song tonight
I'm off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors
Off to wander with my lover in her bag of pretty colors.
This guy is incapable of putting on a bad performance! Every time I see any video of his, I'm enthralled!
Right tho? I'm obsessed....so happy I discovered him
I love that he references both Dylan and Bright Eyes at the end :) he seems like such a fun person.
This is one of my favorite instances of b-roll for that moment exactly haha
"Been down so long, it looks like up to me." And all the historic references at the end. Love it! And love the song.
Insane, this guy is a true true poet x
I was lucky enough to get to play a show he was playing at in Portland Oregon last August! He's legit one of the coolest guys ever!
Saw Matt perform this what must have been well over a decade ago. What beautiful songwriting.
dude, frodo has a killer voice!
TheOneNdOnly Jack I honestly thought more about Fred Armisen playing Peter.
I LOVE MATT PLESS
Matt likes Bright Eyes! Thats so cool
Matt really does look like a young Bob Dylan. Hes an amazing artist either way and I thank all of you at Fistfull of Vinyl for helping me find him. Several others as well.

Awww love ya too Luke! Thanks for discovering artists with us!
@@AFistfulOfVinyl thank you for the opportunity :)

Thanks for the kind words . Tell ya dad I said hi (: watch out for the crayons ❤
One of my favourite songs of Matt's, Cheers boyo

Man he really is the best
I have two questions, why did it take me so long to check out his music, and why isn't Matt more famous? Damn this is so good
Man amazing dude I love it still so great
I sing along to this so often.

Matt gives me hope that I can live a happy life apart from all the crutches I’ve leaned on for far too long
One of my favourite songs from Pless, next to Ashtray and a few more that are escaping me right now
What a good writer this kid is

Absolutely crushed it.
Unfortunately I'm singin the crayon song tonite...
Love this song
Yo this is amazing
Excellent song! Reminds me of "Winter Song" by The Head and the Heart
Such a beautiful but sad song about love, drugs and depression.
Do you guys have full bands we might want to come through
love the added dramatics not tumbleweed era lol always dope but leveled up yo
Has anyone figured out the picking pattern 😩
Can I buy physical copies of Matt's music? If so where?
there's a CD from Rib Fest Records on bandcamp with this song and you might be able to find some copies on discogs
I've always wanted to learn to pluck the guitar that way he does here ... but my fingers dont work like that lol
Learn classical guitar, your fingers will do that super easily lol
(I speak from experience)
What's the picking pattern here?
Thanks. Search for Universal Vortices University
A great hide artist, this confirm that wrong people have fame this days.
Why does no one know about Matt pless
When he says "til once turned into twice" I bet he thought of that guns and roses song that sings a little didn't do it and a little got more and more til a little got more and more...
The crayon song is actually a euphemism for sodomy
Brandon Walthers what??
This guy seems like he needs to go to bed
Is this a song about a girl with LSD in her purse? Lol
Yep. Stolen riff
kalan yost there are probably hundreds of songs within folk with this progression....yikes dude.
did you even watch to the end mister....???
