He was always meant to be a Musician. Apart from having a very special voice, he has such a good taste in music. I used to go to school with him in the past and he has always been so talented. Can't wait and international tour!!!
It really frustrates me when there are so many gems that don’t get the recognition they deserve. This song -along with many others Matt has written - has creative meaning and melodies
this is genuinely one of my favorite songs of all time. the way he sings this character as this jealous man and is “smaller” and more shallow than the other man comparing himself to a fish, the music, the lyrics, everything. i always have my music on shuffle and i’ve never had a song make me this excited when it pops up
I love this song. It has such a lovely way of creating a character that is filled with jealousy and bitterness. I also like how he compares himself to the other man in such a shallow way that you can see that he doesn't truly love the woman; he just misses the fact she was his. Now that she's got a new man, he drinks and watches with contempt of a man who's taller than him. At least, that's how I interpret it.
he hates that the other guy was chosen over him..that's why he compares himself in a shallow way. he doesn't want to talk about the real reason she left.him
i'm really late to this but i thought it was obvious how comparing his height to the other guy means he's comparing the fact that he has what the singer doesn't. guys always say their height is not of their control and that to me implicates that the other guy has something about him the girl is naturally attracted to or that the singer is disadvantaged in some way. i think the lines "but i'll never be what she wants", "but i'm only a seven" and, "he's so much taller than i ever will be" further supports this.
@@johnwiese6760 I know right, this song lifted my mood.. To say the least, I guess the depressing tone of this song is somehow comforting to me since the sense of relatability has helped me.
love this song! it feels so humorous but also genuine in the bitterness and jealousy the singer feels. couldn't help but snort at the "why the fuck you tell me that" it's so funny, the exasperation-
This album, and this song, are in my opinion some of Matt Maltese's best works. The lyrical genius in this song paints such a vivid picture. The double entendre of "I wish that I could fill shoes, but I'm only a seven." is one of my favorite lines, and followed by the jump in pitch for the "pour me a Guinness, she's probably screwing him now" part. It's addicting, and this song is the one I always come back to 3 years later.
@@essielecl the song is in Bb up to that point and then he goes to a Gmaj7 for the bridge which then resolves to B major. (Up a semitone from where the song began at Bb) it’s a smooth key change
mesmerizing and funny. Has anyone done that so well with music lately, or ever? My daughter told me this song was in her head for a week, and I'm so glad she told me!
You need to be one of the most popular singers in the world. Every night I find myself hearing your songs and they make me feel my heart . Last month I was depressed and you literally saved me. Thank you so much for that, you are AMAZING ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
One of the most gentle and relatable songs I've ever heard. One of the songs I immerse myself in and cry to the most. The lyrics, Matt's voice, the melody, the aura of this all come together to make one of the most important pieces of music to me in this point of my life and I see other people here leaving kind words and beautiful messages and it fills my heart even more to see how many others share this experience with me, somewhere else in the world.
Idk but this song makes me think like I'm slow dancing in my room when it's dark outside, holding a glass of wine on one hand and a cigarette on the other.
I've had the best day but this just made it sooo much better. Your songs are just so gorgeous, it's like they take you to another plane of existence 🙌🏻 also that bit at 2:20 was just perfection
I was trying to remember his name since yesterday cause I forgot it and I wanted to listen to his songs again and I finally found his videos, now another amazing song of him has just been uploaded. :)
The feel of this song reminds me a bit of Malibu 1992 by COIN, but theyre also kinda like opposites? That song feels hopeful and content while this one feels like the singer is bitter and feels hopeless. Tysm for another brilliant song! :,)
You said you use chocolate When you and him take off all your clothes Why the fuck you tell me that? Can't drink that image out of my head Like a fish That's how I drink these days It numbs the envy I have Against your tall kind man He's so much taller than I ever will be You write me in a stranger's tone And bring him along to my shows Well, you need etiquette lessons And I need something in my drink Like a fish That's how I drink these days It numbs the envy I have Against your tall kind man He's so much taller than I ever will be I dream about you four nights a week Call me romantic I wish that I could fill his shoes But I'm only a 7 Like a fish Pour me a Guinness man She's probably screwing him now Can make all the wisecracks in the world But I will never be what she wants

what’s his taste in music o:
@@Vivivofi Death GRips, Mozart, 50 cent, LIl pump, Bela Bartok and Magma
@@Vivivofi and justin bieber
@@benijager1372 LMAO by the way do you know Anthony Fantano, a music critic, by any chance?
i am in love with this music that i accidently found, i need more accidents like these in my life
I randomly discovered him in a Roblox game where someone played As The World Caves In, lol
yeah.. i like it too..
Likewise.
same. That's why I always stay online, scrolling and listen to everything wherever I go. 🥰
Try dan croll

YESS!! its so annoying how this song dont get what it deserve
He's our little secret.
So true
he's pretty famous now
"I wish that I could fill his shoes but I'm only a seven"
@@sammy3091 thats what im saying
@@sammy3091 or is he a size 7 in shoes
Now ur 11
you can't convince me that he isn't a genius

Was just thinking "Nothing can lift my mood"
Thanks for proving me wrong Matt.
Excellent song.
this lifted your mood? what awful thing was going on for this depressing song to lift your mood?
@@johnwiese6760 I know right, this song lifted my mood.. To say the least, I guess the depressing tone of this song is somehow comforting to me since the sense of relatability has helped me.
im literally obsessed with your music it hits a spot in my brain no one else does, everything just fits so perfectly and deeply
love this song! it feels so humorous but also genuine in the bitterness and jealousy the singer feels. couldn't help but snort at the "why the fuck you tell me that" it's so funny, the exasperation-
Wow this music is incredibly underrated, I feel bad for the people who haven’t found him yet
why isnt this more popular
this is so soothing

There’s so many memories of mine attached to this song. Dark ones, but beautiful ones too.
2:20 that key change 🥵
it wasn’t a key change it’s just a transition to the bridge
@@essielecl the song is in Bb up to that point and then he goes to a Gmaj7 for the bridge which then resolves to B major. (Up a semitone from where the song began at Bb) it’s a smooth key change
I am absolutely memorised by your voice, yet again. Thank you.
So strange I literally heard the phrase “drinking like a fish” for the first time earlier today, and than I find this beautiful song.
Someone please just give Mr Maltese all the recognition and popularity he deserves, he is such an incredible artist.

This is type of music you dance alone at night
I'm genuinely convinced this man is perfect :)))
간절함도 섞여있고 우울도 섞여있지만 담담하려는 목소리가 너무 좋네여
이 띵곡을 10만명밖에 모르다니
ㄹㅇ
저두...
I was about to say the same...
@@Andre-by1cv what did he/she say?
words cannot describe my love for this song

words can’t express how much I love this man... his style, his music, it’s just so compelling!! 10/10! 100% my favorite singer by. a. landslide.
I absolutely adore this man's voice so much, it's gorgeous.
His lyrics are always so well put together. Truly amazing:)
Matt maltese is too early or too late for this generation.
LOKI No. He's right on time. We need this.
Christian Moreira yeap. But most does not appreciate his music. It was a compliment.
LOKI That is very true. This beautiful music goes unappreciated in today's time...and it's heart breaking...
Too late
@@PM-wp6ze omg tea! Listen to BTS. Whom actually make beautiful music with positive messages in them
:)
Wow! This is my new fave along with Strange Time and Less and Less
I honestly just found out about him but damn I can't stop listening to his songs
one of my favourite songs of yours, i can't wait for the album!!!
Idk but this song makes me think like I'm slow dancing in my room when it's dark outside, holding a glass of wine on one hand and a cigarette on the other.
your music at night is ugh
god I love the symbolism of two living fish and one dead
Matt just know I was singing “like coffffeeeee” for the longest, someone plz tell me I wasn’t the only one
I've had the best day but this just made it sooo much better. Your songs are just so gorgeous, it's like they take you to another plane of existence 🙌🏻 also that bit at 2:20 was just perfection
His voice is so soothing
The day i see this song live, you will see me crying
I heard some random person talk about this song today and I gotta say I love it. Thank you random person
A new song?!! Hell yeah
I was trying to remember his name since yesterday cause I forgot it and I wanted to listen to his songs again and I finally found his videos, now another amazing song of him has just been uploaded. :)
I like this song so much, this part is my favorite 2:45
i keep listening over and over again
비 오는 날에 들으니까 더 좋다 노래가 습하고 촉촉해서 어항 속에 빠져서 하늘거리는 기분 듦 그리고 어항 속을 채운 액체는 독한 알코올
이런 노래 부르는 남자면 키작아도 좋아
...맷 ㅜㅜ 하이라이트에서 "나도 그남자 신발이 맞았으면 좋겠어 근데 내발은 고작 7이야"이부분에서
무언가 떨어지거나 추락하듯이 또르르르르르르소리가 표현잘된것같아요..
gotta admit, this song helped me get over a girl. I’ll never be what she wants but it doesn’t matter now. Great song :)
I'm french and I found this on Deezer, I'm in love with your voice and the music ♥ it makes me feel soooo good
Man Matt's music makes me happy
Can’t wait for the album Matt!
You never disappoint Matt💕 Love all the way from Bhutan. Keep singing 💕
New music from you is all I need right now ☺️✨

Holy Shit! Today is like the day I discovered passenger. Awesome work, Matt.
You said you use chocolate
When you and him take off all your clothes
Why the fuck you tell me that?
Can't drink that image out of my head
Like a fish
That's how I drink these days
It numbs the envy
I have
Against your tall kind man
He's so much taller than I ever will be
You write me in a stranger's tone
And bring him along to my shows
Well, you need etiquette lessons
And I need something in my drink
Like a fish
That's how I drink these days
It numbs the envy
I have
Against your tall kind man
He's so much taller than I ever will be
I dream about you four nights a week
Call me romantic
I wish that I could fill his shoes
But I'm only a 7
Like a fish
Pour me a Guinness man
She's probably screwing him now
Can make all the wisecracks in the world
But I will never be what she wants
lad ur a 10
Lmao right?

I love the sass 😭
