Nothing brightens up my day like Matchbox 20; I was born in the late 80s & got to spend my childhood dancing away to “3 Am”, “Push”, “Back 2 Good”, “If you’re gone”, & “Real World.”
Man these songs make me think about times with my father when I was young. Riding with him in his Land Cruiser to Daytona 200 streetbike races. Going hunting and fishing and working on the trucks and bikes in the garage. I love you and miss you dad. Crazy how when I was younger I just liked these songs. But as I’m older the lyrics really resonate w me and I see why he liked them in the first place
Thank you Dad for making this a must listen in the morning to elementary school in 98. God we miss you so much. Matchbox alone makes your boys think of you. Love you pops.
I was born into the World in 1980, and grew up hearing the 80’s music when I was younger, and the 90’s was my Pre teen, and teen years. What an excellent time to be apart of the 90’s…
I love this song so much, my dad used to always play Matchbox 20 when I was a little kid. I used to call it FoxBox 20 for some reason.. My dad is gone now and hearing this takes me back a good 20 plus years, but it never gets old. So dear and close to my heart
I can't stop crying. My mom loved Matchbox 20 and Rob Thomas. She passed at a young 44. I miss her so much and this reminds me of her. We would do road trips and their music would play constantly on the CD back in the day. I miss you mommah. :(
❤️ I lost my dad about 9 months ago, too. I’m wishing you well 🙏🏻❤️🌟 Music will always bring her back into your heart like she’s right there with you ❤️
I'm the same age as your Mom when she passed. I lost my father when he was 45, so I can understand your pain. Time will heal that wound but never ever forget! Dont let her passing define you but do everything you can to make her proud and her memory will live on through you.
I brought sublime to my school in 5th grade...I was listening to it through headphones and got it taken away and once the principle listen to the lyrics I was suspended..gold times.
Yeah the 90s were pretty great. I was born in the 70s, grew up in the 80s, and became a legal adult in the mid 90s. Society started really going to shit after 2000
I love this song and Match Box Twenty, this song is awesome and Rob Thomas his vocals are beyond words. This song 🎵 just has a vibe that people can actually relate to. I love his imagination of how he pictured himself in different positions in life. I love that verse, please don't change. That's so very important.
+Paul Evans Yesss. Love it! One of those rare albums that is perfect. I can honestly say that I've never had to skip over a song. This is my go-to album for house-cleaning or project time. 👍
+The Stupid Is Strong I'm do the same thing this album was amazing I will put it on repeat for hours and just play right through. that type of consistency on an album is unheard of mostly but this is one 9f those rare gems
@@paulevans7265lol, was going to say just that, hang was never popular, but I love that song so much, it honestly became one of my favorites, the only other album like that which I'm able to listen to the whole thing over and over is everclear - songs from an american movie part 1, which is actually my favorite album ever
I am a metal-head but Matchbox was the main band I listened to before I transitioned to metal. They're just freaking amazing, unique, and I'm so glad they're a part of my music life.
@@ciarangrey7576 Sadly a lot of music snobs think it’s trash. But anyone who thinks that needs to look at the pure breadth of music from that era because no other decade has had a more diverse sound. The 90s truly offered something for everyone.
I miss the 90s music videos! "Let's start the video in a bowling alley", "Ya, we'll have Rob walking across the lanes leading a camel and carrying a suitcase!" LOL!!
Yeah it was Hella cool being a 90's kid. One of my favorites, Matchbox 20 rocked on so many levels. Rob Thomas's voice was and still is and always will be amazing to me !!
I used to wash the car with my dad listening to the radio when I was a little kid, and for some reason, this song always stuck out to me and reminded me of him. I’m 28 now and thankfully, he’s still with me, but I know this song will still remind me of him long after he’s gone. Thanks for the beautiful memories, Matchbox Twenty.
My dad passed away suddenly this year, and this was one of his favorite songs. He would always play it when I would go with him on the weekend. Pops, what’s it like to know that you made the rain? I love you.♥️
Do you think your dad ever pondered how they managed to get a camel to walk across 12 bowling lanes without slipping and breaking a leg? I mean, if you step foot on one of those lane, you're going down fast!
I am sorry to hear that hey don't worry you will have great memories of your dad my dad passed away on April 2 2004 he had cancer I remember this song play on the 📻 back in 2000 !!!
This album is a masterpiece! From start to finish its definitely one of the best written and executed records over the last 25 plus years! Ive grown away from this band but this album will always be played no matter what! I would still go see them live in a second! Saw them about 15yrs ago abd definitely a top 5 concert for us
Dismissing them as pop rock I hear to often. The writing should be appreciated more. And the fact that their voice and message became popular in the face of the times is inspiring! I'm grateful I get to claim them in "my generation of rock!"
When I was young, I finally got money to buy a CD and it was down to MJ Thriller album or Matchbox Twenty's Mad Season and you guessed it, I chose MB20. Never regretted the purchase. I learnt all the words from off the album. The whole album was my favourite songs (this English sentence subject verb agreement was hard to construct 😂) gotta love English. I was pleasantly surprised.
You won't but others will. It's all subjective. I had a music revival at 52 when I had thought I couldn't fine any newer music enjoyable a decade earlier.
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 Yeah NOT like this though. Real authentic talent like they use to be. Songs with meaning and passion. You really don't see it THAT MUCH.
I ran into this song, and now I can't stop listening to it! I am frome 1989. Grew up in Brasil until I was 8 years old, then i went to the USA, Charlotte NC, with my mother and brothers.
*them. mb20 was a band then :/. they take me back too though. them and the verve pipe. I'm a little embarrassed to say that BC I think they're considered "soft" but I listen to some of their old stuff now and think yeah. what a f'n traumatized kid I was
+RaMahOhhlala E-Any well I love the band, but specifically I was referring to rob. his voice and good looks just drew me in. they are still a band, I just hope we get to continue to see more of them together. they all seem preoccupied with individual projects
If you want a simpler life just turn off the lame stream media and all of a sudden its what ever year you want it to be I'm off to 1974 and a few Steely Dan hits.
Such a great song. Matchbox 20 reminds me of good times. I was a young adult in the mid 90s. Turned 18 in 94. We had a crew that reminded me of the American Pie crew and even had our own stiffler. Matchbox 20 was on top of the charts. Good times. Good times. You 90s kids got to see the 80s in the 90s. The 90s were an extension of the 80s with a twist. Then the 2000s came, and it all started falling apart. Society as a whole. The world changed. Part for the better but mostly turned to shit.
Born in the 80's, raised in the 90's. What a glorious time! Can't we just go back to a simpler time and live there forever??? This world sucks now frfr
I agree. I was born in the 70s and became a legal adult in the mid 90s. The 90s was awesome. It felt like it was an extension of the 80s with a sweet twist. Everything started going to shit after the 2000s . And it's not because I got older, I just saw society as a whole going to shit.
@@istankimjong-unbutcantstan3398 I don't know. My mom was able to support 4 kids on less than $400 a week. There wasn't any 60 yr old men dancing in the streets with their dirty tighty whites on in front of children, no pronouns being used, kids were out playing all day being social, and came home when the street lights came on. Neighbors looked out for the kids. Yes bad shit has always happened but, THINGS WERE BETTER BACK THEN. Just different and society as a whole has gotten a hell of a lot worse.
This whole song is how ive felt for years if i was someone else would this all falls apart please dont change i wish the real world would stop hasseling me ❤
It's great to see so much love for MB20 in the comments here! I always loved this band too, but I can tell ya that back in the time when it was popular, most of my similarly-aged friends (45) on Epinions sure didn't. To them, MB20 was like the poster child for all "wimpy, generic" music and the only good music was in "classic rock" like AC/DC, Led Zep, ZZ Top, etc. They had this tone, this way of making you feel like there must be something wrong with you if you liked this stuff. Which is part of why it's so nice seeing so much positivity here. Like maybe I was OK after all?
They were actually marketed as an alternative band at least at the start. Look at debut album cover. I always liked them (50yo) but I also am a guitarist and have pretty eclectic taste.
They have a great sound. I'm 60 but the music from this time frame is great. I bought this album when it came out and just started the listen again on this format.
This was my favorite song when I was a teenager. I would go outside to mow the lawn with my walkman and listen to this song on repeat for over an hour. Great times!
The most affected and pretentious voice in music ...ever. Men were listening to Soundgarden, STP, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam. Chicks were into this crap.
@@jamesclaygarrison7192 radiohead, you mean the group that hates one of their own songs because it got popular and people like their music? Because they don't awnt people to enjoy their music and hate that their music effects and touches people? Sounds pretentious to me, fame and success goes to people's heads all the time, but i do't listen to radio head or any other group that will throw a hissy fit because people are listening to their music.
This was one of the first songs I ever recognized and took a liking to (I'm 23 now). My grandparents used to watch me before my younger brother was born while my parents worked. This song would always play on MTV and VH1, and I would always make my grandparents tune in to the channel in hopes of catching this as well as a few other favorites at my toddler age. My god, my grandpa who would have been 70 at the time hated rock music but somehow took a liking to this song. He would always be singing it to himself when doing menial tasks. This song always makes me think of him ever since his passing in 2008 when I was 12.
Nothing better than growing up to my mom being into Matchbox Twenty, Lifehouse, Daughtery, The Script etc and now at 19 years old, this is all I listen to! Road Trips was the best listening to 90s/00s pop rock
Lyrics: What I wonder it's like to be the 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 everyone And you can come and see them when I'm Done, when I'm done I wonder what it's like to be a super hero I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun Boy I bet my friends will all be stunned, they're stunned Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I were someone else, would this all fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gig, I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me And you, and you, and me 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 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 Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I were someone else, would this all fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gig I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me Please don't change, please don't break Could the only thing that seems to work at all is you Please don't change, at all from me to you And you, to me Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here If I were someone else, would this all fall apart Strange, where were you, when we started this gi I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me And you, and me

Listening to Matchbox Twenty is like getting back in touch with an old friend.
Got to see the old friends live last Friday, they sound as amazing as always. They're my favorite feel good go-to, always will be. ❤
All right that's great
I love this! My stepdad was a big fan. I miss him a lot. When I listen to M20 it’s like I have him back just for a few minutes.
Except all my old friends have fucked me over or are all on meth😂
Yeah, more like being touched by an older friend.
Matchbox Twenty is quintessential 90s music
What does quintesential mean?
Rob Thomas is CRIMINALLY underrated.... 💯💯💯💯

One of my earliest memories was my parents buying this cd and listening and flipping through the booklet
Nostalgic tears 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭
I lived this era, and now I'm reliving it and it feels 10X better!
I thank the Most High for life and full circle moments 🙌🏽🙏🏽💖⭕
When I was in second grade in 97 the teacher asked us to bring our favourite cd. I brought this. The class hated it. I just turned it up.
Things that didn't happen
I brought sublime to my school in 5th grade...I was listening to it through headphones and got it taken away and once the principle listen to the lyrics I was suspended..gold times.
Wow... What kinda class were you in?
Awesome 😂
Wow, that's crazy that no one liked this band in your class. I've always loved this band and still listen to all their music to this day.
Some songs you have to loop because there so good just like this one ❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥😊😊😊
Deep down...I just KNOW I can karaoke to this song.

It’s so damn good
Listened to it today in surgery!
just saw them live!
@@tylerornek1870 how awesome!!
I’ll be listening to this one 20 years from now.

takes me back to places id love to be now
90s music was the shit !!! Nothing better !!
Love this song… one of the first cds I bought in high school.
He wrote every song on this album. Pretty amazing for a 24 yr. old.
The whole group matchbox 20 is awesome especially lead guitarist Kyle Cook
The album is so good, too. It was one of my favorite albums when I was a teenager...the first album where I loved every single song
true theire meaningful lyrics hit you on the spot if you can relate though.
most people have more talent at that age than when they age out of their whimsical creativity
I did not know that! Rob Thomas is definitely amazing! Besides being such a fine - looking young man!
My dad’s Favorite band. Figured I’d stop by and give thanks. 🙏🏼 rest in paradise Pops
😢😢😢😢😢sorry for your loss 😢😢😢😢😢
1st video I ever saw from MB20 back in the 90s and I was hooked❤
I had a rough day at work. This song just came to mind and got stuck in my head.
The guitar work is so catchy. Just can't get enough. I miss the 90's. Time machine anyone?
At 43 ill take your time machine back to the best time of my life. Save me a seat
Got room for one more lol
I've always said Van Halen is my first time machine stop but this would also be up there.
I just recently heard this song after several years and can't seem to get it out of my head!! This and "3am"my favorites by Matchbox 20.👍

This song makes me happy every time I hear it. It reminds me back when life didn’t suck and things were simpler.

There wasn't any 60 yr old men dancing in the streets with their dirty tighty whites on in front of children, no pronouns being used, kids were out playing all day being social, and came home when the street lights came on. Neighbors looked out for the kids. Yes bad shit has always happened but, THINGS WERE BETTER BACK THEN. Just different and society as a whole has gotten a hell of a lot worse.
You got that 100% correct!! ❤❤
@@endofsocietythere's a lot of woke people now. You're so right my friend.
Best band of the 90's in my opinion.
camel in a bowling alley. Miss music videos 😊
Rob Thomas was my first crush ever. I remember watching this for the first time in 1998 and both my eyes turned into hearts.
😂😂😂😂😂
“I wish the real world would just stop hassling me” Might be the best line ever lol
this song is underrated!
Especially now days...😏😏😏
Exactly why I'm here!
@@danagraslie5718 All days.................
This whole song is how ive felt for years if i was someone else would this all falls apart please dont change i wish the real world would stop hasseling me ❤
I'm an afro American I approve this message.. it's deep and keeps it 100%%.. just imagine from them view of eyes!!!
Right on, Afro-American dude. Now we feel legit in our love of this pop masterpiece....and your syntax.
Still remember hearing this album in 1997. First CD I got!
My favorite song of theirs. This song reminds me of some of the kinds of questions and ideas I had as a kid.
Time machine
One of the best lead tracks off of any 90s album. Great album too!
One of my favorites.
I’m 13 and just discovered this. Wow this is good.
Awesome isn't it?
This is real music mate
@@tekajikuyalkrul5111 this for sure is real music. Better than all the new music these days! This is nostalgic for sure!
Sir kid you have good taste in music
It pisses me off that I typed "Real World" into the search bar and a bunch of other reality show rubbish came up. This is home.
Funny enough the real world reality show is older.
@@ricbachman1727 I think he meant that "The Real World" has hassled him. badumtss! "I wish the real world would stop hassling me"
Rubbish
I thought the same. #pissed
The "real world" _has_ become a reality show.
Boy, I bet my friends would all be stunned.
It's great to see so much love for MB20 in the comments here! I always loved this band too, but I can tell ya that back in the time when it was popular, most of my similarly-aged friends (45) on Epinions sure didn't. To them, MB20 was like the poster child for all "wimpy, generic" music and the only good music was in "classic rock" like AC/DC, Led Zep, ZZ Top, etc. They had this tone, this way of making you feel like there must be something wrong with you if you liked this stuff. Which is part of why it's so nice seeing so much positivity here. Like maybe I was OK after all?
Imagine gatekeeping music
They were actually marketed as an alternative band at least at the start. Look at debut album cover. I always liked them (50yo) but I also am a guitarist and have pretty eclectic taste.
Holy shit you're still alive. Fuck you made my childhood and I didn't even realize that till three weeks ago. Lol
They have a great sound. I'm 60 but the music from this time frame is great. I bought this album when it came out and just started the listen again on this format.
57 And liked them from the start
Who's still listening to this awesome band in January 2020?????
A masterpiece!
The 'yourself or someone like you' album will always be my most favorite album of all time.
This was my favorite song when I was a teenager. I would go outside to mow the lawn with my walkman and listen to this song on repeat for over an hour. Great times!
+Steve Boyer Sad that most younger ones are thinking what's a walkman
+Brian Vermo or what is mowing the lawn.
The most affected and pretentious voice in music ...ever. Men were listening to Soundgarden, STP, Radiohead, and Pearl Jam. Chicks were into this crap.
James Garrison Without a doubt the most pretentious comment. Radiohead are fucking shit. Their music sucked. MN20 had the better songs you flog.
@@jamesclaygarrison7192 radiohead, you mean the group that hates one of their own songs because it got popular and people like their music? Because they don't awnt people to enjoy their music and hate that their music effects and touches people? Sounds pretentious to me, fame and success goes to people's heads all the time, but i do't listen to radio head or any other group that will throw a hissy fit because people are listening to their music.
This sounded very ahead of its time! I thought it was released in the late 2000's
This is my favorite Matchbox Twenty song!! I love the riff at the beginning and during the chorus
This was one of the first songs I ever recognized and took a liking to (I'm 23 now). My grandparents used to watch me before my younger brother was born while my parents worked. This song would always play on MTV and VH1, and I would always make my grandparents tune in to the channel in hopes of catching this as well as a few other favorites at my toddler age. My god, my grandpa who would have been 70 at the time hated rock music but somehow took a liking to this song. He would always be singing it to himself when doing menial tasks. This song always makes me think of him ever since his passing in 2008 when I was 12.
Mb 20 is the one other few bands I can listen to and remind myself of where I came from. Black crowes
I heard this at Applebee's last night & remember how much I love Matchbox 20. 💯♥️🎧
Applebee's foo d sucks and overpriced
Listening to these songs before bed almosted made me cry. Dont hear this stuff much on the radio anymore. Man times have changed.
I fucking LOVE matchbox 20, man. Nothing like it
Nothing better than growing up to my mom being into Matchbox Twenty, Lifehouse, Daughtery, The Script etc and now at 19 years old, this is all I listen to! Road Trips was the best listening to 90s/00s pop rock
I remember when this was on TRL every day. Fuck I'm getting old..😒
You and me both bro!!
TRL was the shit :)
What's TRL?
Fick I am old.
@@directapprec total request live
Still finding comfort in this song... so many years since my first listen! ❤️🩹
Lyrics:
What I wonder it's like to be the 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 everyone
And you can come and see them when I'm
Done, when I'm done
I wonder what it's like to be a super hero
I wonder where I'd go if I could fly around downtown
From some other planet, I get this funky high on yellow sun
Boy I bet my friends will all be
stunned, they're stunned
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig,
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
And you, and you, and me
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
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
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gig
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
Please don't change, please don't break
Could the only thing that seems to work at all is you
Please don't change, at all from me to you
And you, to me
Straight up, what did you hope to learn about here
If I were someone else, would this all fall apart
Strange, where were you, when we started this gi
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
I wish the real world, would just stop hassling me
And you, and me
thank you for posting the lyrics :)
