Listening in March 2024. I am 77 and just discovered MB20 in 2023. I have everything they have recorded. I relate to a great deal of the lyrics Rob writes. Plus, I love the passion in their songs, not only by Rob, but all of the band. I agree he is a great songwriter. I also feel that he has a unique to him intonation when he sings. He often cuts off a sound and blends his words that create an identifiable and recognizable sound. I personally think his sound is so original, as to make it difficult to attempt to imitate. One of my favorite singers, both solo and in the band.
Listening to Matchbox 20 in 2024!!! They are so awesome, can listen to them all the time…..Just skipping through the videos and just came across them!! ❤️
well,I'm 66 yrs old.And heard this song many years ago.Still love it.Just a great song that never gets old.Checkout The War on Drugs --the song --under the pressure ---.it is awesome.
Every era is distinct in its identity so yes you are technically correct, but the underlying sentiment of "good music is not being made anymore" is wrong. People have said and felt what you are saying now in every single decade since recorded music was devised and before that, people were saying that the new compositions were not as good as the classics. There is always good music being made and released. If the radio no longer reflects your tastes, then it may be time to put in the work and dig deeper for the underappreciated gems.

I’m coming up on the 14th anniversary of my wife’s passing. She was 51. The song reminds me of how she accepted her fate and how I didn’t want to let go. When someone asks you how long the pain lasts, the answer is the rest of your life!
I am 70 now and I still listen to all our music. I have 2 grown son's who also listen and they even admit our era had the best. Brings back so many memories.
Just turned 64 and this band sums up relationships so accurately, relationships/marriage I haven't done well and their gone but I still have the amazing music like this.
My mom loved this song. She died 2 years ago of cancer. Completely destroyed and broke my heart. I love you Dorris Morris Woodward. You were my savior. Thank you for adopting me. Love Scott. Hey guys, All the positive and loving comments. I havent seen this post in 2 years. Right now we are in tbe pandemic and its phazing out hopefully. You guys restored my faith in humanity. I still miss her. I always will lol.. But at least i know im surrounded by good people like yourselves. Thankyou.. 💝
Matchbox 20 is definitely one of the greatest bands of the last 30 years and one of my favorites ever. I remember buying their first album when I finally got my first boom box as a kid in the 90s.
I love this song. He wrote this about his wife before they were married. I love how and why he wrote it. The man writes the sweetest love songs with passion and real feeling. His birthday is so fitting. He hasn’t done one song that didn’t make me cry.
So much yes to everything you said. When I saw that story about this song I was so touched 😍He's an Aquarius too and I just saw an article where he said his wife was his "best friend"
My wife left me about 2 weeks ago and I feel everything Rob sings in this song it's simply a masterpiece and I'm so blessed to have this song to help me through. MATCHBOX 20 God Bless You!
It's been over 18 years ago when my dad passed away. I was too young back then and doesn't know the feeling of losing someone but I sure do love and miss the memories of him in embracing me in his arms. Whenever I heard this song, I remember him. I miss you Pa❤
This song just gives me chills. Awesome song. Use to hear it when I worked at the hospital as an RN. A very emotional time. Its 2022 and still loving this song!!
Me too. ICU played Rob every time I worked. I actually had patients that were incubated and non responsive for the most part but would tap their fingers to his songs.
My mom passed this June. Matchbox 20/Rob Thomas was what I grew up with her. It's nostalgic but sad to replay these songs. Always will appreciate this beautiful voice.
What is nice is that like no other time in history the bands we had listened to while we were young have created a resurgence in the art of making good music and expression. Like Rob Thomas teaming up with Santana. A powerful duo. Nothing to be ashamed about. Jeff Lynns ELO is back on tour. You both would probably really enjoy that show together. no generation gaps anymore. BTW Matchbox Twenty is still one of my favs too.
Same. Bought a house with my girlfriend of six years and found out she was (still) cheating and signed papers myself. Been two years alone. Work ten hours six days a week and just sit at home now.
I'm always curious about the video. Did the production team take precautions to ensure Rob Thomas didn't lose his balance when he stands on the edge of the roof? It looks dangerous.

This was my brothers favorite matchbox 20 song. He passed away over a week ago. I remember when my parents went through a divorce in 1999 that had hit my brother the worst. This was one of the songs that got him through it. We will miss you brother.
Sorry Mark, I lost my companion of 32 years almost seven years ago. Just this year, finding myself again. The time range is different for everyone. Sending good vibes to you.
Yea me 2 that’s why I love this fab video.! Used 2 go 2 mall after work cuz they played it! Damnnnnn what a great song with a sexy singer! Rob still rocken 2day! 💯❤️👍🎶🔥
IF YOU'RE GONE - MATCHBOX TWENTY | LYRICS I think I've already lost you I think you're already gone I think I'm finally scared now You think I'm weak, I think you're wrong I think you're already leavin' Feels like your hand is on the door I thought this place was an empire Now I'm relaxed, I can't be sure And I think you're so mean, I think we should try I think I could need this in my life, and I think I'm scared, I think too much I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealin' If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home There's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move If you're gone, baby, you need to come home, come home There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you I bet you're hard to get over I bet the room just won't shine I bet my hands I can stay here And I bet you need more than you mind And I think you're so mean, I think we should try I think I could need this in my life I think I'm just scared that I know too much I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feelin' If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home There's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move If you're gone, baby, you need to come home, come home There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you I think you're so mean, I think we should try I think I could need this in my life, and I think I'm scared, do I talk too much? I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealin' If you're gone, and maybe it's time to come home Well, there's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move Well, if you're gone, hell, baby, you need to come home, come home There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you Everything in (Somethin' in me in) In you
Wow...that is exactly what I'm dealing with now I Love this woman with every fiber of my being and we can't be together due to our own personal demons and my insecurities and jealousies
Now that im lookin back, im glad that im part of when good musics were made. The Happy moments that i teasure til this day. MB 20, lifehouse, the calling, creed, 3rd eyed blinds are some bands that i used to listened.
Haven't listened to this song in ages. The moment Rob starts singing and I sing along, still remembering every single word. Have a great one everybody!
I recently lost my wife of over 52 years and this song will always bring tears to my eyes. We so enjoyed hearing it and she could sing every word so well! To hear this song brings me much comfort, Matchbox Twenty performs it with perfection! Thanks guys!
I know...I was just talking the other day about the late 90s or early 2000s were the last time i can remember any good new rock music. i cant think of any that was played on the radio anyway. All the rock stations now are classic rock...it just doesnt seem that theres anything new to put on the radio..
@@ryancash527 I know. It seems there isn’t much good rock out there right now. If you haven’t try Lord Huron or Hozier. Besides all of the now “classic” rock that I listen to they are pretty good.
I was ten or eleven when this was on the radio. I loved the radio back then, but this song was my favorite from the first time I heard it. It's still easily my favorite Matchbox 20 song. In fact, it is my favorite song released, whether radio played or not, between years 1992(Queen - Live at Wembley '86 - "Hammer to Fall") and 2010(MGMT - Congratulations - "Someone's Missing").
Trying to get the old lady and the grandkids to understand this is what music sounds like not the junk that’s playing on any station you put on the radio and making the old lady think about the better past days that we blinked and missed
my dad was the biggest fan of Matchbox Twenty and Train when i was around 7 and younger even, i grew up around this music and i really believe it has helped made me who i am today. Just a random thought.
That is exactly how I feel. Most of the music he listened to was Matchbox Twenty and Rob Thomas. But also stuff like Green Day, Nirvana, Blink-182, I feel like growing up with him listening to these has totally influenced my music taste and I'm so glad it has.
This song came out when I was only 23 and now I am 42 yrs old it still is one of my favorites. I finally found the love of my life and still enjoying it.😂🎉❤😅😊
same, I’ll be 42 this year. Time flies so fast. One moment you’re waiting for this video to show up on MTV, the next you’re on TH-cam watching it on repeat reminiscing about the good ol’ days lol.
This song is so beautiful. This song gives me a weird happy/sad feeling every time I hear it. I love songs that I can connect with on an emotional level, and there's not many of them!
JEFF, my sincere condolences go out to you. Thanks for sharing this. I accidentally came upon this song today and your SINCERE message. I have also recently lost my Dad and have been trying so hard to stay grounded and positive. I've been avoiding music and situations and everything I possibly can, to stay strong. I was feeling good and decided to go for a walk. Not thinking, I put my headphones on and turned on my music Playlist. This song immediately came on. I broke down and had to stop and sit. Your Dad obviously was a very special person and meant the world to you as my Father did to me. Sitting there crying in the middle of the park truly took me to a different place. I lost it momentarily. I cried so hard, I felt like I couldn't breath. I sat back up and prayed. My phone had fell out of my hand and when I went to pick it up, there was your MESSAGE. I wiped my tears up and read your post. Your message woke me back up. I realized again that I'm not alone, that I'm only human. That facing my heartache and pain was long overdue and that sobbing and crying actually helped. It's so true, take the time while you can and cherish it. I wish you Health and Peace. Thankyou
Absolutely Awesome day yesterday hopefully thru the rest of them to come are even more so beautiful and amazing with positive thoughts and prayers are with us
This song represented a great time in my life, in recovery, all four kids were living, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania is beautiful. Still love it in September 2024.
I was going through a break up some years back, listening to this at night and cry softly to ease the pain. That was one of the saddest time in my life, thank you Matchbox 20 for the memories, I'm still going, little by little everyday.
I've been going through the exact same thing for the past 8 months, being the last 3 the worst of all of them, as I realize the more time it passes the less chance for a comeback. Song lyrics definitely have something that indeed eases the process. Anyone out there going through the same stay strong.
Know this guys. At 63 (now retired) read my comments 2 weeks ago and read this. Moving to a small town, my family were the odd ones out, my Dad being a truck driver not home very much, Mom being in a band. I was the only " normal one" in the eyes of the town between my brother and sister. My high school sweet heart and I met when she went from the 6th grade to jr. High (I was in the 9th grade) and she started riding my bus. We knew each other by name but that was it. With in a few weeks, fell in love. We were together nearly every day throughout Jr High and High School. In my senior year, I went to trade school and were apart, except on Friday nights (she was a Majorette and I went to all of the football games) and Saturdays. The cracks began to appear. We went to my senior prom together and few days afterwards she said "I can't do this anymore". I crumbled like a wall. With friends, music and tears, I made it to graduation and went on with my life. She became a pediatric Nurse, got married and has to children. I got into industrial electricity and then Robots in the last 20 years. I traveled a lot and now I'm retired. Met many amazing women during that time and keep in touch with a couple even after 35 years or more. Guys AND girls. You have one thing now that I didn't back then (thank God) . 24-7 electronic distractions. You have to start shutting that stuff down. Go to a park, a library, volunteer on a regular basis. Take that time you need ( no to much) to cry and feel the pain and listen to songs like this by Matchbox 20, then get on with your life. Lots of cool moments out there. BTW, have any of you ever seen the video by Tears for Fears "Sowing the seeds of Love"? its worth the time.
Omg how I just love everything about this song, he's sings straight from the heart. The lyric's that grab my heart "I think I could need this in my life" and "I think I think too much" and "I bet your hard to get over" and "theres an aweful lot of breathing room but I can hardly move". Poetic and beautiful 🖤🖤🤘🤘💯💯🤟🤟💜⚡💡
Has anyone got personal invites to there email or google chat from rob Thomas? He apparently has been reaching out to me? But it has to be a scam right?
Those first 10 seconds still gives me goosebumps. The best Matchbox 20 song ever!! The early 2000s. The last if the great music before 9/11 and social media took over everything. I miss those days
This came out when my husband of 17 years had left me and our two year old baby girl. I played the heck out of this (as well as many others) because it felt so exactly accurate.....And three years later he DID come home. We renewed our wedding vows that year and this year will mark our 37th anniversary.
I remember my mom always playing MB20 (this included, of course) when I was a kid on my way to day care. On top of reminding me of that part of my life, the lyrics are also vaguely describing my situation (+steve mann). Things are slowly moving forward, but it's agonizing.
My mom cheated on my dad and I remember sitting in the car with him when we moved to a whole other state, just us. This song was on and he was trying so hard to hold in his tears and when we got to my uncles we just sat in the car crying. This song reminded him of her and ever since, when he hears it, he always says "I think I've moved on. I no longer cry to this song" but I know he hasn't fully moved on... Every time we see her he vents to me about how he still loves her and every time I tell him he always will. Update: my parents talk frequently now and my mom has been putting an effort in to getting back our mother daughter relationship that we once had. Were on good terms with her and she explained everything that led up to what she did and the situation was very different than we thought. I wont be sharing why she did what she did because some matters should be left private. All im going to say is that we have forgiven her and i finally have a relationship with my mom again after years... Im beyond happy.
Amazingly, in spite of whatever happens between them, your existence just made it all worthy. God works in misterious ways. Love must and WILL prevail.
Rob is one of the best songwriters still doing he's thing, and I've never been happier for him the hurdles he's over come is amazing. Live large brother
This is still my absolute favorite song by MATCHBOX TWENTY!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Today, July 23, 2024!! Im from Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦 I had the privilege of seeing them on August 13, 2022, in St. John's, NL "BEST CONCERT EVER!!"❤❤
I never realized how GORGEOUS he is! Cannot believe I have been listening to them all these years loving their music and never noticed it, maybe it is just because I am single now? :)!
Lol///OMG how did you go all these years listenin to him¬ notice his BEAUTY?!!awesome singer/songwriter talented musician,just all around a great man)a REAL class act... Not To mention that he's BEAUTIFUL***He's def got the COMPLETE, package,well at least n my eyes...😘❤️🎤
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and NAME by the GooGoo Dolls in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
I'm impressed with Rob's candor . He has always been insightful . I guess acceptance is easy when you love someone . We are blind to any short comings .
On November 13, 2022 I went onto kidney failure, septic shock, had a g/I hemorrhage and a seizure. I almost died. I was in the hospital for 10 days, during the first three I was in ICU as they didn’t know if I was going to make it or not. I had to have half of my blood replaced. My wife stuck by me the whole time and for the first time in years she told me that she loved me and i actually saw and felt it. I fell in love with her all over again. Those first few nights I didn’t sleep. I listened to If You’re Gone over and over every night I was there. This one and I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley.

This video gives me anxiety when they show him standing on the edge of the building .
That's fantastic you enjoy and appreciate them so much! I'm pushing 70 Rob Thomas and his band are brilliant!
I'm 67 and love their music ❤

Listening to Matchbox 20 in 2024!!!
They are so awesome, can listen to them all the time…..Just skipping through the videos and just came across them!! ❤️
83 here, into 60s music, but this is sublime. Will play Matchbox 20 often now!
I skip thought some something I love to Johnny Depp
Man. I love this song. I really love all the 90's music. I was in my 30's then. Now I'm 64! I'm old but young! 😮
well,I'm 66 yrs old.And heard this song many years ago.Still love it.Just a great song that never gets old.Checkout The War on Drugs --the song --under the pressure ---.it is awesome.
I love you man. You lived in the best times of music and humanity.
🎉😂me too 53😂
You're Nintendo 64
Was at high school and a girl at the accommodation used play it evry morning. 37 now and still love it
Wow, losing someone you loved and hearing that song, makes you feel how powerful love is
Songs like this just aren’t made anymore. The passion in Rob’s voice with the soft rock & orchestral instrumental is timeless
I wish they were still making songs like this, but unfortunately, the best talent is not what we have today.
I completely agree with you! This song is incredibly beautiful, and the passion with which Rob sings it is nothing short of amazing.
I agree 💯💯
@@rhondahacker9436 ain't that the truth. That's why I started listening to country around 2007.

@Robert Kelly T you are a magnificent and soulful artist! Absolutely amazing artist! You are the "Midas Man" of music! Matchbox Twenty is LEGEND!!!
@Robert Kelly T neither do I. I don't do Google Hangouts. Hope all i a well.
@Robert Kelly T I'm somewhat perplexed...just who are you lol
Older than you, love them too!
agree Beverly their music just gives you a nice warm hug for the soul
There's a little bit of something "me" in everything "you."
What a powerful way to say we were made for each other.

So do I 😔
Good on you
Rob Thomas has a unique way of lyrically painting a portrait of what we're all feeling but don't necessarily talk openly about.
This song just gives me chills. Awesome song. Use to hear it when I worked at the hospital as an RN. A very emotional time. Its 2022 and still loving this song!!
Me too 😊
Me too. ICU played Rob every time I worked. I actually had patients that were incubated and non responsive for the most part but would tap their fingers to his songs.
My mom passed this June. Matchbox 20/Rob Thomas was what I grew up with her. It's nostalgic but sad to replay these songs. Always will appreciate this beautiful voice.
I miss this era so much
I know what you mean
April 2024. This is my daughters music. I love it!!
What is nice is that like no other time in history the bands we had listened to while we were young have created a resurgence in the art of making good music and expression. Like Rob Thomas teaming up with Santana. A powerful duo. Nothing to be ashamed about. Jeff Lynns ELO is back on tour. You both would probably really enjoy that show together. no generation gaps anymore. BTW Matchbox Twenty is still one of my favs too.
"There's an awful lot of breathing room, but I can hardly move"...
I can't explain it...this song just hit different.
@Brandy C. I was literally reading your comment when he sang this line you have written!
Right!!??? These guys always can lay complex feelings to lyrics
Sure does 🙂
😊😊❤️
Same. Bought a house with my girlfriend of six years and found out she was (still) cheating and signed papers myself. Been two years alone. Work ten hours six days a week and just sit at home now.
I actually wrote a paper on this song in college. I have loved it for a very long time. It’s simply beautiful & it evokes so much emotion.
...willing to bet your college paper was perhaps just as magical.
I'm always curious about the video. Did the production team take precautions to ensure Rob Thomas didn't lose his balance when he stands on the edge of the roof? It looks dangerous.

Thanks. Now I can watch this video without getting vertigo. haha
Yes it does!

Makes my heart swell… going to tune into the whole album after this. March 29th 2024.
Some singers and songs are timeless. This is one of them. No fads here. They were amazing from the beginning and will be to the end.

This was my brothers favorite matchbox 20 song. He passed away over a week ago. I remember when my parents went through a divorce in 1999 that had hit my brother the worst. This was one of the songs that got him through it. We will miss you brother.
So sorry for your loss.
I hope this will always remind you of the good moments. Peace.
I’m so very sorry for the loss of your brother.

Sorry Mark, I lost my companion of 32 years almost seven years ago. Just this year, finding myself again. The time range is different for everyone. Sending good vibes to you.

This song is so comforting. I would listen to it on the radio before sleeping and it just brings back so many memories.
So would I. It has that quality. As does "now comes the night" on the lead singer Rob Thomas' first solo album
I love you too!!
J Hurtz I agree. It reminds me of my childhood memories.
The words are sad but the song is calming. We need more good music.
I love you Rob
I'm 72 and just heard this for the first time 😊 I'm hooked ❤❤❤

IF YOU'RE GONE - MATCHBOX TWENTY | LYRICS
I think I've already lost you
I think you're already gone
I think I'm finally scared now
You think I'm weak, I think you're wrong
I think you're already leavin'
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
Now I'm relaxed, I can't be sure
And I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life, and
I think I'm scared, I think too much
I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealin'
If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby, you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you
I bet you're hard to get over
I bet the room just won't shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
And I bet you need more than you mind
And I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life
I think I'm just scared that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem I'm feelin'
If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home
There's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move
If you're gone, baby, you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you
I think you're so mean, I think we should try
I think I could need this in my life, and
I think I'm scared, do I talk too much?
I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealin'
If you're gone, and maybe it's time to come home
Well, there's an awful lot of breathin' room, but I can hardly move
Well, if you're gone, hell, baby, you need to come home, come home
There's a little bit of somethin' me in everything in you
Everything in
(Somethin' in me in)
In you
February 6, 2024. Anyone?
The feeling when both of u love each other but can’t be together. 💔
agree
Wow...that is exactly what I'm dealing with now I Love this woman with every fiber of my being and we can't be together due to our own personal demons and my insecurities and jealousies
Still listening in 2024.
march,2024
I am here in Australia March 2024 still loving this song 😍
Now that im lookin back, im glad that im part of when good musics were made.
The Happy moments that i teasure til this day. MB 20, lifehouse, the calling, creed, 3rd eyed blinds are some bands that i used to listened.
I'm not ashamed to admit the ones I love art with us anymore they are glue that kept our family close❤
Haven't listened to this song in ages. The moment Rob starts singing and I sing along, still remembering every single word. Have a great one everybody!
It's February 2020 and I want to hug anyone who still loves this song.
Same here 💜💙🖤♥️
Will always love this song .
I love match box 20...love his voice...love this song!!
2020 and forever
I just heard it today for the first time in probably 15 years.
I recently lost my wife of over 52 years and this song will always bring tears to my eyes. We so enjoyed hearing it and she could sing every word so well! To hear this song brings me much comfort, Matchbox Twenty performs it with perfection! Thanks guys!
Sorry for your loss Jerry , your wife will always be with you in memory and in your heart ... God bless
So sorry you lost your wife
@@bobbyjones7901 Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Oh so sorry, Jerry. No one knows how it feels unless they have been through it.
My father just passed in July. He loved every old song like this. Miss you dad love you all day every day no matter what🙏🙏🙏❤❤
What an exceptional voice & perfect for the songs he sings with such feeling. So blessed to hear this band! 🤗
I miss great alt rock so much...I forget sometimes there was a time when great music like this would play on the radio and actually be mainstream.
1996 i started listening to Matchbox - there isn’t a group like them. best years of my life ❤️
I know...I was just talking the other day about the late 90s or early 2000s were the last time i can remember any good new rock music. i cant think of any that was played on the radio anyway. All the rock stations now are classic rock...it just doesnt seem that theres anything new to put on the radio..
@@ryancash527 I know. It seems there isn’t much good rock out there right now. If you haven’t try Lord Huron or Hozier. Besides all of the now “classic” rock that I listen to they are pretty good.
I was ten or eleven when this was on the radio. I loved the radio back then, but this song was my favorite from the first time I heard it. It's still easily my favorite Matchbox 20 song. In fact, it is my favorite song released, whether radio played or not, between years 1992(Queen - Live at Wembley '86 - "Hammer to Fall") and 2010(MGMT - Congratulations - "Someone's Missing").
Probably the most underrated band ever, simply brilliant
Definitely underrated back then. Just saw they’re touring in 2023, might have to try to see them live again.
I would put them a step above most groups who came out in the mid to late 90's just as disserving as U2 I'd say
Not underrated to me!!! They’re in my top 10 all time.
can't find a single good song, melody or harmony, is the brilliancy in the production? or in the lyrics?
What? 😂😂😂😂😂
they was really successful band late 90’s early 00’s
Trying to get the old lady and the grandkids to understand this is what music sounds like not the junk that’s playing on any station you put on the radio and making the old lady think about the better past days that we blinked and missed
This standout melody is rich with passion and purpose, and one of the finest works of the past ten years.
Even if it came out 23 years ago lol
my dad was the biggest fan of Matchbox Twenty and Train when i was around 7 and younger even, i grew up around this music and i really believe it has helped made me who i am today. Just a random thought.
Pudgy Eggroll How old are you?
Eddie Gooch i'm 17
That is exactly how I feel. Most of the music he listened to was Matchbox Twenty and Rob Thomas. But also stuff like Green Day, Nirvana, Blink-182, I feel like growing up with him listening to these has totally influenced my music taste and I'm so glad it has.
Me big fans to.say hi to your dad.
+Pudgy Eggroll The beauty of music,at times it can make you who you are. I suspect it's timing as well.
If you're listening to MB 20 then you definitely have excellent taste in music.
Exactly dude !
I will NEVER quit listening to Rob Thomas!!
@Sondra Williams
Really happy that you enjoyed the song Sondra:)
👍💓😊
Thanks
@@roxanneminuzzo7928
Yes time flies Roxanne I remember getting this album when it first came out seems like yesterday:)
👍💓😊
This song came out when I was only 23 and now I am 42 yrs old it still is one of my favorites. I finally found the love of my life and still enjoying it.😂🎉❤😅😊
same, I’ll be 42 this year. Time flies so fast. One moment you’re waiting for this video to show up on MTV, the next you’re on TH-cam watching it on repeat reminiscing about the good ol’ days lol.
This song came out when I was going to be 18 in the year 2000, I will be 42 in November.
If you are 42 today you must have been 18 when tis song came out. It was released in the year 2000. But nether the less, it´s a great song 😊😊
This song is so beautiful. This song gives me a weird happy/sad feeling every time I hear it. I love songs that I can connect with on an emotional level, and there's not many of them!
I hear ya, theres at least 3 breakups in my life, since Matchbox 20 came out, a song would be playing when I'd see an ex or crying over one
Lauren A same! My heart literally flutters when it starts!!
Gets to me everytime! Shivers up my spine.
JEFF, my sincere condolences go out to you. Thanks for sharing this. I accidentally came upon this song today and your SINCERE message. I have also recently lost my Dad and have been trying so hard to stay grounded and positive. I've been avoiding music and situations and everything I possibly can, to stay strong. I was feeling good and decided to go for a walk. Not thinking, I put my headphones on and turned on my music Playlist. This song immediately came on. I broke down and had to stop and sit. Your Dad obviously was a very special person and meant the world to you as my Father did to me. Sitting there crying in the middle of the park truly took me to a different place. I lost it momentarily. I cried so hard, I felt like I couldn't breath. I sat back up and prayed. My phone had fell out of my hand and when I went to pick it up, there was your MESSAGE. I wiped my tears up and read your post. Your message woke me back up. I realized again that I'm not alone, that I'm only human. That facing my heartache and pain was long overdue and that sobbing and crying actually helped. It's so true, take the time while you can and cherish it. I wish you Health and Peace. Thankyou
❤
remember the good times Tony. life always gives us grif but the good times are not as common.
😢mad me sad but love you folk story
I'll say a prayer for you
I'm very sorry for your lose
Rob with Santana was "Smooth" & unforgettable! Matchbox Twenty will always be one of my very fav bands!
Great choice of bands
Same here my friend, matchbox is a top of mine
Absolutely Awesome day yesterday hopefully thru the rest of them to come are even more so beautiful and amazing with positive thoughts and prayers are with us
Love matchbox Twenty!!
I love the Old Matchbox Twenty way better than the new one!
This song represented a great time in my life, in recovery, all four kids were living, and Lancaster, Pennsylvania is beautiful. Still love it in September 2024.
I was going through a break up some years back, listening to this at night and cry softly to ease the pain. That was one of the saddest time in my life, thank you Matchbox 20 for the memories, I'm still going, little by little everyday.
I've been going through the exact same thing for the past 8 months, being the last 3 the worst of all of them, as I realize the more time it passes the less chance for a comeback. Song lyrics definitely have something that indeed eases the process. Anyone out there going through the same stay strong.
Likewise
Know this guys. At 63 (now retired) read my comments 2 weeks ago and read this. Moving to a small town, my family were the odd ones out, my Dad being a truck driver not home very much, Mom being in a band. I was the only " normal one" in the eyes of the town between my brother and sister. My high school sweet heart and I met when she went from the 6th grade to jr. High (I was in the 9th grade) and she started riding my bus. We knew each other by name but that was it. With in a few weeks, fell in love. We were together nearly every day throughout Jr High and High School. In my senior year, I went to trade school and were apart, except on Friday nights (she was a Majorette and I went to all of the football games) and Saturdays. The cracks began to appear. We went to my senior prom together and few days afterwards she said "I can't do this anymore". I crumbled like a wall. With friends, music and tears, I made it to graduation and went on with my life. She became a pediatric Nurse, got married and has to children. I got into industrial electricity and then Robots in the last 20 years. I traveled a lot and now I'm retired. Met many amazing women during that time and keep in touch with a couple even after 35 years or more. Guys AND girls. You have one thing now that I didn't back then (thank God) . 24-7 electronic distractions. You have to start shutting that stuff down. Go to a park, a library, volunteer on a regular basis. Take that time you need ( no to much) to cry and feel the pain and listen to songs like this by Matchbox 20, then get on with your life. Lots of cool moments out there.
BTW, have any of you ever seen the video by Tears for Fears "Sowing the seeds of Love"? its worth the time.
Carry on dude!
@@cfierle thank you for sharing your experience, appreciated 🙏
Matchbox 20 never gets old! ❤
They certainly don't!🥰
They'd be Matchbox 40 if they did...
Omg how I just love everything about this song, he's sings straight from the heart. The lyric's that grab my heart "I think I could need this in my life" and "I think I think too much" and "I bet your hard to get over" and "theres an aweful lot of breathing room but I can hardly move". Poetic and beautiful 🖤🖤🤘🤘💯💯🤟🤟💜⚡💡
That’s definitely a song at it’s own special level.
He has such a beautiful singing voice and you feel the pain he is dealing with in his music I love this guy and the messages in his music
This song never gets old. Brings back memories of early adulthood.

Always crushing on his beautiful face!
Has anyone got personal invites to there email or google chat from rob Thomas?
He apparently has been reaching out to me?
But it has to be a scam right?
I believe everyone can relate to this song in one way or another, it has always touched my heart.
You are right
This is my favorite song by matchbox 20. I ❤it!!
Those first 10 seconds still gives me goosebumps. The best Matchbox 20 song ever!! The early 2000s. The last if the great music before 9/11 and social media took over everything. I miss those days
such control in his voice, love this band
Nice song
He has the best voice ever IMO
He's my boyfriend

U see child
Matchbox twenty was the shit. Heart and soul in every song.
I absolutely love Matchbox twenty
There are some songs that you Love the very first time you hear them...This is one of them! :)
This came out when my husband of 17 years had left me and our two year old baby girl. I played the heck out of this (as well as many others) because it felt so exactly accurate.....And three years later he DID come home. We renewed our wedding vows that year and this year will mark our 37th anniversary.
Well all right then
Amazing story, truely remarkable and the hope to still believe. Thanks for sharing
I love this. ❤️
God bless you
Can't believe you took his ass back ..
This song punches the feels really hard.
+nathan evans Hits a little too close to home, doesn´t it?
Absolutely. I just went through the exact story he told here... and it didn't work out.
I remember my mom always playing MB20 (this included, of course) when I was a kid on my way to day care. On top of reminding me of that part of my life, the lyrics are also vaguely describing my situation (+steve mann). Things are slowly moving forward, but it's agonizing.
Punches real freaking hard :-(
yeah you are right
Love this song. It brings me back to when my dad was in hospice, 24 years ago this month. This song was playing in the radio this morning. ❤ you dad.
😪
This is by far one of the most underrated bands of all times they are absolutely amazing and I love this song still brings tears to my eyes
@lukebhandle❤❤
My mom cheated on my dad and I remember sitting in the car with him when we moved to a whole other state, just us. This song was on and he was trying so hard to hold in his tears and when we got to my uncles we just sat in the car crying. This song reminded him of her and ever since, when he hears it, he always says "I think I've moved on. I no longer cry to this song" but I know he hasn't fully moved on... Every time we see her he vents to me about how he still loves her and every time I tell him he always will.
Update: my parents talk frequently now and my mom has been putting an effort in to getting back our mother daughter relationship that we once had. Were on good terms with her and she explained everything that led up to what she did and the situation was very different than we thought. I wont be sharing why she did what she did because some matters should be left private. All im going to say is that we have forgiven her and i finally have a relationship with my mom again after years... Im beyond happy.
Amazingly, in spite of whatever happens between them, your existence just made it all worthy. God works in misterious ways. Love must and WILL prevail.
@@juankplaysmusic thank you so much for your kind words. This made my day💜

Today, July 23, 2024!! Im from Newfoundland, Canada 🇨🇦
I had the privilege of seeing them on August 13, 2022, in St. John's, NL "BEST CONCERT EVER!!"❤❤
Nostalgia at its best. This song is so refreshing to hear again, let’s bring this type of music back.
I never realized how GORGEOUS he is! Cannot believe I have been listening to them all these years loving their music and never noticed it, maybe it is just because I am single now? :)!
Lol///OMG how did you go all these years listenin to him¬ notice his BEAUTY?!!awesome singer/songwriter talented musician,just all around a great man)a REAL class act... Not To mention that he's BEAUTIFUL***He's def got the COMPLETE, package,well at least n my eyes...😘❤️🎤
Or maybe because you're older now.
Angie W he is absolutely gorgeous.
Angela Stovall ur single? :) lol im not
This song makes me so nostalgic. Wish the music now was this good.
I got hooked on the first album watching MTV while in the hospital with a lung problem. I couldn’t wait to get out and pick up that CD.
I'd be honored if some fans of mid/late 90s classics would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins, LONG DECEMBER by the Counting Crows, and NAME by the GooGoo Dolls in tribute to 3 great standards of the era. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Peace out and stay safe in the '020s.
Great music..way better than the trash we have out now!
Agreed
That's right not to meny songs like this
I'm impressed with Rob's candor . He has always been insightful . I guess acceptance is easy when you love someone . We are blind to any short comings .
the glory days of when music videos had a meaning. Rock n Roll will never die, never die.
Never die
When music in general had meaning lol sadly that isn’t even a thing anymore
As we grow older we really appreciate and understand the lyrics

Love his songs. They are lyrical stories. He’s the generation’s Bob Seger. It doesn’t hurt his voice is absolutely beautiful. ♥️
Saw Bob Segar and the Silver Bullet Band in concert. My first concert.
And he’s hot as! 😊
On November 13, 2022 I went onto kidney failure, septic shock, had a g/I hemorrhage and a seizure. I almost died. I was in the hospital for 10 days, during the first three I was in ICU as they didn’t know if I was going to make it or not. I had to have half of my blood replaced. My wife stuck by me the whole time and for the first time in years she told me that she loved me and i actually saw and felt it. I fell in love with her all over again. Those first few nights I didn’t sleep. I listened to If You’re Gone over and over every night I was there. This one and I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis Presley.
