Who else has loved Rob and Matchbox 20 FOREVER?🥰
Yep me looovvvee MB20 & Rob
Oh I so love him 💖. Saw him in concert in Toronto Ontario. I yelled so loud that he actually"sang" to me
I have seen Rob in concert solo 4 times and with Matchbox 20 once. Awesome shows!!!
Just added some MB20 tunes to my playlist "Nostalgia". Because that is what they are.
Us😀Me and my wife.
0% nudity ..swearing ...!! Purely raw talent and a great storyteller, ..this guy is so underrated
Completely agree!
AMEN❤️❤️❤️‼️
everyone only chasing edm/pop type tracks these days in 20 years they will change again to some other
He's not part of the matrix that's why.
Absolutely!!!
As someone whose cardiologist has given three years, maximum, I listen to this everyday... "Someday I will leave this world, but maybe not tonight"...
I pray that you have lived every day to the fullest and that you did everything that is on that bucket list love you and thank you for sharing
I,at 66 and count am not about to give it up. Thank you for your music.
Laura, I hope you are doing okay. Although it is a cover, it's an excellent cover of a gorgeous song. Rob Thomas singing & playing 'George Michaels - Father Figure'. My song choice for this morning.
Never give up hope 3 years a lot can heal and change. I pray that this music continues to be a healing tool for you as it does me. Look into Qigong for heart health and see if it's something you can perform as well. Good luck and blessings
@as a 36 y.o.cancer warrior I can soooooo relate! Praying you still have the light over your shoulders love! Keep fighting!
Love you clean and sober. God grant you a lot of 24 hours.
We played this at my husband’s funeral. He used to sing along to it on the way home from chemo. He was 33.
I'm so sorry for your loss. 😢
He is not gone he is just living another life without any problems. God bless!
My heart goes out to y'all.
He is now pain free with God watching over his loved ones…. Until, you meet again.
Omg I'm sorry for your loss
57 year old 3 time cancer survivor! LOVE this song. Playing it everyday now.
Hello dear, How are you doing?.
Hope you made it another year cancer free.
Hope you're still enjoying the music x
Happy new years hope you made it threw new years I'm loosen my grandpa as we speak to cancer 🙏🙏
My grandfather died this morning. He was 98. I was blessed to have him for 48 years. One lesson he taught me was to truly celebrate each Birthday … it means you have survived another year! I will never forget you grandpa. ❤
Well said. God bless him. Respect
Sorry for your Loss 😢
You grandpa was truely blessed to live a great & full life & you are blessed to have him in your life for 48 amazing years with him you got to see 48 of his birthdays that's pretty amazing think about it that way I think your grandfather would be looking down proud at you! Live your life to the fullest because in 1 sec ii could be all gone! ♥️
❤ Im so sorry😢
Hugs!!!!
I lost my parents 6 years part..(03 and 09) lost my brother 2 years ago today and my oldest sister 13 days ago...none made it out of their 60's......everyday is a gift!
This is my theme song at 70 I see the light but I'm still here
The beautiful thing about Rob Thomas is he always offers up a story of a profound inner strength. Not to mention he's never sold hisself out to fame. Never lessened the quality of music just to make an album. He's a doing the same beautiful song writing he's always done.
He's a beautiful soul that found a beautiful soul to live and grow with and learn from, his wife, Marisol.
I work in long term care and this is the "theme song" for several of the residents. Love it♥️
Thank you Rob Thomas
❤ Doesnt matter how many times this song plays on repeat it never gets old. This is my new anthem ❤. I was recently diagnosed with stage 4 cancer with a 14% odds of a 5 year survival rate but doctors are guessing 2 to 3 years. Im 35 and determined to prove the doctors wrong and make it beyond 3 yrs to watch my kiddo graduate high school and hopefully so much more ❤
I'll pray for you.
I’m sending you prayers that you definitely prove those doctors wrong and cherish each and every single minute you have with your kiddo! 🙏❤️🩹🙏🏹🔥🏹 2:07
kick its ass barb
You fight the good fight. May you live a long fruitful life.
I saw Matchbox 20 in concert in the summer of 2023 I know this song is just Rob but he's the lead singer and that was the best concert I've ever been to. They're even better live if you can imagine that.
For me, this song really reaches me. I have depression and some days are bad, others are worse. A few times I came close to dying young. Its hard to not give up on life, but whenever I hear this song, I just...I regain hope, I regain life. I realize that life is a struggle, and depression can drag you down, but I shouldn't give up on life. This song just heals a wound I forget is there sometimes. Thank you Rob Thomas, thank you so very much.
You have no clue how much you really helped me, no clue just how much this song saved my life.
An0n1m0u5e, I hope you are doing well and keeping your face turned to the sun.
I totally agree 👍
I'm trying to hang in there my friend but I got no more fight left in me. When you have nothing, no family, money or real friends what's the sense at 67? I'm glad ur hanging in there.
@@thomaskatona-br7cf
I feel you, I really do… But sometimes you’ve just gotta say fuck it & do it FOR YOU!! Regardless of the circumstances & although it may not feel like it, but someone, somewhere, in your life, truly does care about you. We all only have this short time on earth- So if nothing else, remember that you matter, & LIVE for YOURSELF!!
I turned 41 yesterday and I was complaining that I was getting old,until I found this song. It just lifted up my spirits and made me look back at my life and all the blessings that I have received and the lessons I have learnt. I am grateful to God for everything.
Thank you Rob.
Having stage 4 terminal cancer knowing my time is limited - I can't explain how this song touched my heart in a happy way! You can tell he has definitely lived with a wife whose been through it with autoimmune disease - eight tick-borne diseases, the dark side of Lyme disease.. Apology, they been through it! Positive energy to both of them and I hope he continues on singing a long time 🖤 what a gifted vocalist-one of the best of all time! ❤️😘🙏🖤💯🎤💯☮️ I smoked herb and WOW - I want this played at my life celebration after I pass, yes!
Relish your time Susan ❤
Do what you wish, say what you feel! Keep burning till there's nothing left!
Hugs xo
@@serendipitous_synchronicity Thank you so much 💖 positive vibes! I've still got some things to do and I've beat many odds - been in the fight 9.5 years which is unheard so I hope to stretch months to my youngest son turns 18 on June 4, 2020 & I've made it far - in 2009 was gave 2 years and well it's 2019 🙏🖤 thank you again!
@@susansimpson72 positive vibes your way Susan!! Let's hope the cosmos has time in your favor!! Keep aiming to share that big 18 milestone with your youngest son!! Here's hoping honey 💞
God Bless and Keep you, Susan. I hope you have an exuberant awakening when your time arrives and as you go to the other side.
@@johnswaim3919 God Bless you 🙏 thanks so much! ✌🏼
"Someday I might leave this world - but maybe not tonight" LOVE it!
Nice lyric...top
666
Ikr?!?!? It’s just......I swear Rob Thomas writes THE BEST songs. I can never get enough! I jam to ALL the albums way back from tabithas secret lol
🎶✌️💚🎶
A song that romanticises getting older will never be successful in a society that fears exactly that. But I absolutely love the idea of finding beauty and appreciation in something so many don’t
3.8 million views on TH-cam and millions of radio plays begs to differ. I guess it all depends on what your definition of successful is.
People also fear monsters in their closet, yet we have very successful movies about ghosts, monsters, and goblins.
Dang....Absolutely!
Dang....Absolutely!
Dang....Absolutely!
As of today, 586 people are afraid of getting older. More than 24,000 say bring it on, I'm not afraid!
Rob Thomas has not aged in 20 years.
I just watched his BUILD interview, and he said he was 47! I was like, dude, I was 9 when "Smooth" came out! :O
Yeah wow he is still handsome his face the same wow
He's still very pretty
He just gets better with age.
In wisdom of lyrics ( and I dont even know if he wrote them, iah), he is both ageless and ancient.
Woo! So glad to hear Rob's voice in a new song. It's so refreshing to hear something this genuine in this era of music.
Sev Pha I feel the exact same way!
I actually hope this charts. As much as I didn't like the song structure or the production, the lyrics are something that the pop billboard really needs.
He has get way tell. Good story of truth keep going
Love love this song brought me to tears
Love that song "Pieces" from the last album
“I’ve seen my friends, fall away before their time and I’ve been afraid, that I may follow in their light.”
That line hits me hard as someone who truly has known people who have gone before their time.
Jack Colgan me too
Me too. One was murdered. One committed suicide. And one died of cancer.
@@taniserobnett177. This Song has great feel....Melody,. lyrics and production.....a winner!
I lost a friend a long time ago, she died inside a burning house and it was too late for them to save her. And I've seen people my age commited suicide, one of my friends got severe depression and she once talked to me that she wants to die. I was panicked, thinking one day I'm going to lose another friend because of mental illness and I cant help much since she lives far away from me.
This lyric really hits home to me.
Exactly!,,
Again, this man is the soundtrack for my life. A meth addict, who's been clean for seven years. I've made mistakes...
A recovery brother from seven years ago, just OD'ed less than a month ago... This song reminds me. Encourages me. Uplifts me. Leaves me weeping.
Thanks again, Rob Thomas for strumming the chords of my heart and soul...
Keep fighting...you can do it! 💪
🙏🏼
You got this ! Way to go!! 🙏
Keep fighting the good fight, mate 👌🏽
I also relate it in that way. I'm a addict in recovery. Almost 6 months. One of the facilitator s of treatment facility played this song for us. I was like woah! Makes me think of my addiction. Also my boyfriend/ love of my life died from overdosed. Also some friends. Sucks. So grateful to be alive
My dad finished his last round of chemo today. I've been singing this all day in my head for him! 💜 #RobThomasIsMyTherapist
Rob Thomas never fails to make a song catchy... listened to this once and feel like I know it already!!
sammeee
😂 the first time I heard this I was blasting my bluetooth through the Alexa on repeat and dancing around like crazy and singing at the top of my lungs. Let's just say I was so happy I was the only one at home 😂😂😂
Yesss same!
Yeah you know it cause there’s only about 7 words in the song
@@scottmattison3511 EGG-ZACTLY!
I needed this song today....
Thanks for your sincere comments and love❤. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
Every word, every beat, hits straight to the heart and soul. I absolutely love him. And I could never get sick of hearing his songs or voice .
His lyrics are so poignant, he’s a phenomenal story teller. The words really resonate with me! Such a great talent 😊
Hello Dina, How are you doing?.
Monday March 25, 2024
On Sunday September 5th, 2021, one less day (dying young) was playing in BJ’s which I liked so much. Also on Saturday December 24, 2022, this song was also playing in the Hilton Hotel in Savannah, Georgia.
I love this! It makes me think of my brother Tommy, we loved listening to Matchbox 20. Sadly he died unexpectedly 8 years ago, my brother, my best friend in the whole world. When I heard this I dedicated it to him, I know he’d love this song. What I wouldn’t give to have him with me again, I miss you brother😢💔
I thought of my brother as well who passed just two years ago far too young. Sending my love. So sorry for your loss.
Nadine Coleman I’m sorry for your loss, my heart hurts for you, it’s definitely not easy. Thank u for your kind words, my love to you. Maybe our brothers will meet while listening to this song. My best to you.
I feel for yall
So sorry ❤
ladonivan little Thank you.
I was driving my 5 yr old daughter home with the windows down and this song made this salty guy tear up. I was free. Thank you for that moment. I am 31 but I get it.
I turn 50 this year. Lost many friends the last few yrs. This hits home for me... Thank you for the music! 💜💜💜
Free Dom me too
Free Dom I turn 50 this year too! This has become my theme song!
I hear ya, my dude. Lost friends to drive-bys, drugs, and gang violence when I was younger, now I'm losing 'em to surgical complications, sudden heart attacks, and the big C.
Anyone else singing your songs would be a crime against humanity....I love your voice
Thanks for your sincere comments and love❤. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
Rob, I respect you so much. You are one of the most authentic people I know. And your music and lyrics are consistently heartfelt and poignant. Blessings and gratitude to you..😅
Thank you Rob ❤
Of course Rob could sing row row your boat and I would love it just listen to that voice
So true. Awesome!
Word! He could sing gibberish and I would like like it ! Lol
I listened to matchbox 20 as a kid because my pops loved them, now I'm 23 and boy... the old man had great taste
We need to hear a duet with pink
@@williamf5479 i see
Playing on repeat nonstop
Never disappointed with Rob
ya i did for hours, time to change to song now LOL love it
@@pennylou1167 yep probably listened to it for over 2 hours now
Me too haha
I love this song I've got to keep listening☝️
Chey OSRS I love this so h and it’s message but he’s hardly old. Young dude
Thank you Rob. My partner Chris, he fell away before his time, less than three months ago. He was the love of my life, my best friend and the best dad to our three beautiful sons. I am lost without Chris here. This song just came on the radio and I got goosebumps. I felt like Chris was telling me "Stay and live for our boys". Thank you for making beautiful, moving music.
Keep fighting ❤️
@@thedcmac Thank you xo
My mom passed away a few months ago from cancer and she was always singing this song... I miss her so much 😭❤️❤️
💙🎵 Rob Thomas is THE BEST EVER!!!!! So amazing !!💙🎵
Gifts from God
Refreshing to hear more positive music in a world where “dark” and “deep” are romanticized.
Today I am turning 55, on my way to Paris (so sad about Notre Dame)...will be playing this on repeat. I am very thankful for making it this far. God is Good!
I find this song to be a dedication to life in a time when it means little. Thank you Rob for never disappointing your loyal fans. Keep up the inspiration you sow in us through your music and lyrics. To all those that have lost someone close, this song could be your dedication to them.
I'm not afraid of getting older, it's just that everyone or anything that ever meant something to me disappears much too fast than ur on ur own alone and than what's the sense anymore.
Thanks for your sincere comments and love❤. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
Mr. Thomas I love music! I've been on the sidelines though for about 20 years. Got hurt at work and was awarded disability!!!. Mr Thomas take care of ur back and neck. Disability don't pay well at all. I live by myself at 67 yrs. Old. I also have that fun shit depression and anxiety, I can't afford any kind of coverage so each day I drag my sorry ass out of bed cuz I won't give up!! I've read alot about these mental illnesses and from what I've been told they don't go away. I still would give a couple treatments a shot. But like I said no money. About all u get from the so called Dr's. ARE brain eraser pills! See u probably already know that unless you experienceee the same situation as others u have no idea of what ur talking about! Me and u could be diagnosed with the same shit but we don't feel it the same as each other. They Dr's don't like when I tell them the truth. Which is just because mommy and daddy put ur ass through college and u read a bunch of books doesn't give you the right and lie to people and just take money. I know I hurt from this shit day and night. Well Mr Thomas it's been a real cool thing talking to you! Sorry if I took up too much of your time. U write great and to the point music. Again thank u for ur time. Hey if by chance you have any ideas that might help me please by all means send over what you got. Thank you sir, ur friend Tommy Katona.
@@thomaskatona-br7cf I’m sorry to hear about that
Am I the only one who really missed Rob Thomas and lives for his music!
I still have never heard a song by him that I didn't fall in love with in three seconds
I mean, seriously! 💜🧡❤️💙💕
Someone who suffers from chronic tonic seizures and muscle dystrophy since I was born I'm truly grateful for each day I have survived. And am able to do the things I couldn't. My heart goes out to anybody who is suffering from something. I know what it's like
So much meaning to this song. Live each day like it's your last. Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 had some good thoughtful music that I keep on my Playlist. I'm 67. My generation had the greatest music 🎶
@Rob Thomas base Not a chance. You will be in my state in Aug. So much I'd love to go but this 68y/o I don't believe will make it.
I'd love to talk to your wife about Lyme Disease. Wish you all the best.
Rob Thomas might be the most underrated singer of all time. I wish he would do a whole album with Santana. I look forward to going to his concert here in Las Vegas in September. He truly is a great artist.
I agree and disagree at the same time. RT and Santana do great work together-obviously-but I feel like if he does do that then people who don't really know him, or don't realize they do, will just see him as 'that guy who did that album with Santana' and that's not fair to RT. He's great in his own right.
He is underrated but may not be a bad thing. Being there for his wife and having a life not being harassed by the paparazzi and other assholes who makes peoples lives miserable. Great song Rob.
SMOOTH* 👍🎶
His wife has Lupus like me and he loves and helps her through the nightmare symptoms.. my husband stands by me also.❤
The song is inspirational to those of terminal or chronic illnesses seeking treatment all their life
When its out of our hands seeking to cure and self pity prevents them from having a Life , get married, loving theyre parents or others Chase a dream, serve community , others or God while the candle is still lit dont wait till its gone. when infact they could have a life while having treatment or loving theyre love ones while they're still there.
Also to those fearing to do what they want.
Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatever your hand finds to do, do with all your might, for there is no work nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom in the Grave, where you are going."

A beautiful man singing a beautiful song... It doesn't get much better than that!

You and Matchbox 20 is mine and my late husbands band. You will always bring a happy moment to me.
layna Simms- Winfield Matchbox Twenty will always be my favorite band
@Hillary C. Minnie my husbands song was Unwell. He was such a goofball. And my three kids loved him so much. And him them. My children were small when he died by a drunk driver (7, 3 and 14 months). I miss him but Rob Thomas reminds me of the good days
This is the song I never knew I needed in my life
@@laynasimms-winfield1503 I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I'm moved by human goodness every time I connect with someone who loves MB20 or Rob two decades on.
@@laynasimms-winfield1503 ,
i agree 🤗
Grandios 👍💪🫡
What a gift we have in Rob
Thanks for your sincere comments and love❤. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
Producer: how many candles do you want?
Rob: Y E S
:p bahahahahah😂😂😂

Way to kill the mood me 😂
80 thousand, please.
@@fatheroffab
Oh and add 50 more over there, thanks
Three stage hands died lighting all those candles.
Let us remember them.
I soo love this song. My best friend took his life recently & I've lost too many friends who should still be here. This song reminds me that getting older is better than the alternative.
Sending love to you Sweetboo!
This song came just days before the third anniversary that a friend of mine lost her life to addiction. This summer, I'm going to see Rob on what would have been her 35th birthday. I can't wait to hear this song that night.
sweetboo1022 that’s exactly what Rob said in his interview about this song.. I have too.
sweetboo1022 - It is. And if you do it right, you are surprised by your age when you tell people because you don't feel as old as the number suggests.
so sorry for your tragic loss. Sending much love to you xxx
Just experienced this song near the 10 year anniversary that a code blue was called on me in an ER. Yes, getting older comes with its complaints on a physical level, but really, it is a privilege that is not given to everyone. I love thé wisdom I have acquired in this life and that is far more valuable than what is on the surface and visible to the eye.
Thanks for your sincere comments and love❤. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
This hit me hard with having cancer
*Yet Rob Thomas ✨️ still looks so young*
such a star and a beauty
This song is amazing, can't wait to hear the rest of it. The song immediately made me think of my son in law Brad who died at 34. Tomorrow isn't promised for any of us and we should appreciate everyday that we do have!! Love you Rob!! THANKS
I'm really intrigued by where this was filmed at.
This song speaks to me because I'm 29 and live with Spina Bifida. I have had 4 surgeries, in the 3rd period of my life dealing with having seizures (and I'm on medication, but strobe lighting still scares me into thinking I'll have a seizure), and yet I had so many friends whose parents made them have EVERY optional surgery to be the most perfect WALKING human being, and they died because more than TEN or TWENTY surgeries is just too much on a kid's body.
I use a wheelchair full-time and my life is perfectly fine.
My best friend Madison, died from addiction & suicide almost 4 years ago, and my uncle Peter died by alcoholism in 2012. They died way too young.
I appreciate this song on so many levels. Thank you, Rob Thomas.
Alison Carville - God bless you. I’m sorry that you have endured so much at such a young age. Prayers for improved health and much happiness. 🙏
I’m so sorry I hope you are forevermore happy
Keep the faith.
God keep Blessing YOU so Positively &..., also with the help from My RobT.baby All of His words(how He speaks Them All So Sincerely,meaningfully and ,,,
This song has become my anthem. Five years ago, I was having severe manic episodes and insomnia. I'd be on this massive high and feel like life couldn't get any better, but then something little would happen and I felt so hopeless, worthless and sad. The lows could linger for days. I couldn't sleep, which made things worse. I didn't know what was wrong with me, so I tried to take my own life. My mom found me half dead and called an ambulance. They took me to the hospital, pumped my stomach, stabilized me, then sent me to the mental health ward. I was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and prescribed a ton of meds. In the past few years, I've lost 11 friends and family members. The line "And I've seen my friends fall away before their time and I've been afraid that I may follow in their light" hits me hard, but not in a bad way. The pain of loss never goes away, you just learn how to move forward. Thank you Rob for your ability to put everything I feel into words. I'm 42 and have been a fan of Matchbox 20 since the first time I heard "Push" on the radio. When I listen to this song, I'm reminded that each day is a gift. The person who felt like life was too hard is gone and has been replaced with someone who tries to live each day to the fullest not just for myself, but for the people I love who are gone. I know I'm rambling. I guess all I can say is thank you Rob for your beautiful music that has been a presence in my life for the last 25 years. You've touched my heart and soul, and I can't wait to hear more music.
Great 👍
@Rob Thomas base, just listened to this song this morning! Always a fan.
Thank you Lord
Gonna be 72 on 15 December. I guess I am a lucky man. In great shape and still doing physical labor each day.
A celebration of being alive! Loved it! You have such a talent to put emotions into words.
I have progressive multiple Sclerosis and I’m in pain all the time, I’m with an extremely abusive partner and I feel myself slipping away everyday, I have a beautiful 2 yr grand baby, my one and only, it’s a fight to spend time with her because it takes time away from him. I fight a good fight everyday for my life and Robs music keeps me fighting another day. I wish I could just walk away, but he won’t let me go. But thank you Rob your music, it’s brought me peace, spiritual life and comfort. God bless you Rob Thomas from the deepest region of my heart. Forever your fan.
Lala Wolfie Please seek help at the many shelters/homes for abused women. They CAN help you get away safely. I think your grand baby would want to know that you’re safe. God bless.
Im in a similar situation (minus the cute Grandbaby, LOL) and as I was listening to the new song and thinking about my abusive relationship, I read your comment. I felt strongly to let you know that you are NOT Alone!! Somehow, You and I along with All of us that suffer abuse, WILL get through it and move on to our next chapters in our lives!
Prayers and love to you, Denise Lynn
I have relapsing remitting MS, so I understand what you battle daily on that front. It sucks to say the least. I fell in love with MB20 when I first heard them in '94/'95, long before my diagnosis. Then in 2003 when the words "you have Multiple Sclerosis" became my new norm I began to listen to his music from a different perspective. Soon, the lyrics to Unwell made me cry, and still do. Ever The Same became my wedding song. His lyrics touch me and many others on such levels.
And I thought it was just me. This ms sucks. Once again this man just saved my life and gave me comfort from the confones of the wheelchair and my bed. God bless you and god bless Rob and Matchbox also... I fight to go on one more day. Just when EVERYTHING got dark again he brought me light ...💝
My fiance isn't necessarily abusive, but I can empathize. It's like hell everyday to wake up, my daughter is my reason for living. I hope everything changes for you all as well as myself. Keep your beautiful heads up and keep moving forward.
I lost my dad to cancer a month ago. This song has touched me profoundly. Thanks Rob for your beautiful music. 💖
Recall when quality music like this died? It was around 2000-2002. Thank God I recall what "GOOD" music actually was. Poor kids of today.
I just heard this song and thought it was a positive song about life which seems rare to me. But the song is ambiguously happy or sad and I think it should have been called "One More Day Away From Dying Young".
Because it sounds like he is anticipating dying young sooner every day. OTOH he is like 50 and didn't die young like Kurt Cobain or Avicii.
this song that has come to mean more to me since a recent loss. Thank you, Rob Thomas.
Turned 61 in April and have been searching for meaning... This song has been a huge anthem!
61 seems very old to be searching for meaning...I have been struggling with it for the past few months (I'm 22). This song also helped, but from somebody who is older and hopefully wiser than I, do you have any wisdom for me going ahead in life?
@@cryterion7770 I have found that there have been several different points in my life that have accompanied rigorous changes that have allowed me to search for meaning after each one. As long as I'm growing and learning, I am doing what I am supposed to do.
@@kaceysack-wright930 that's very true. What do you recommend somebody as young as me do?
@@cryterion7770 the beauty of being human is that each of us is different. For me, writing in my journal (then leaving it for a few days to go back and reread) has been very helpful. When I have the opportunity to go back and look at what I wrote, it is like looking at it from a different pair of eyes and gives me a different perspective. For some people it is music (writing lyrics, creating songs), for others it is different forms of art (including carpentry). I know people who have found a great sense of purpose online by by helping people younger than themselves problem-solve social or ethical problems they are facing. One of the biggest ways I have found to help my students find a sense of purpose it to have them volunteer in different places doing all kinds of different activities. Most of them have found their careers that way. As for me, being of service has always helped me recenter myself so I can better face the challenges ahead of me. What is your passion? If you can find that, It will help you attain your sense of purpose.
@@kaceysack-wright930 that is super helpful. Especially the part about the journal. I will have to do my best to start it. I should have been already. Thank you so much
This is on my crappy day soundtrack. Love the song, and reminds me of how much I have. Plus how can this song not uplift you?
This has become my anthem....on July 3rd when he was performing at Hard Rock in Orlando, FL. I was having 2 cancerous tumors removed from my small intestine. I'm heartbroken that I missed the show, but I'm One Less Day from Dying Young.
Thank U ONCE AGAIN, Mr Rob Thomas ❣️
@Rob Kelly Thomas I play this song at least once every day. It sends a message i need to hear. It calms my anxious days. I will listen to your music forever. Love your voice so much. 😊
I love Rob Thomas! He is very talented and he has a beautiful soul.❣
Rob is a great artist. You can't deny it
Oh wow and yet he does it again.... I am again speechless.... I swear no one can do it like Rob Thomas. Anyone else feel as if that song was written just for them? Man I do.... 💞🙌🤗😍
My little brother has
Autism and he loves this song it just now came on the radio and he told me when the song was over “ play it again” so I did I love him to death
この歌は何かに勝利したイメージがするね‼️
本当に元気をもらう曲だな‼️
This song couldn’t have come at a better time in my life. Constantly dealing with depression and alcoholism brought on by PTSD this song speaks to me on so many levels. Feeling I was gonna die long ago and still being here feels like such a victory
What a delightful song sung so beautifully by such a nice guy with an amazing voice! Love Country Music! Not only does he sing good but looks good too!! This is a fantastic song! 🎤🎼🎵🎸🎸🎸🎤🎸🎸🎸
Thanks for your sincere compliment and love. I'm not complete without you as my fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my🎶 career?
You know, one of many awesome things about Rob, is that he is sincere and raw even, in everything. I had the opportunity to hang out with him for a bit before the first night of his world tour a few years ago as well as meeting him and the awesome members of Matchbox couple other times (including twice when Adam was still with the band before his contract expired). Everything about him (as well as Kyle, Brian, Paul, Adam, and Matt) was more real than the feeling you get from listening to even his most passive aggressive songs.
This was cemented for me after his show at Casino Rama in Canada during my walk through and across Canada. His PR guys and crew were explaining to everyone that, he usually like to meet people and talk a bit but due to the cold and rain, he can't do it, he has to go into "save the voice" mode. As this was being explained, I here "psst, Hey man! I look over it was Rob, he came over quick to shake my hand, wish me luck and tell me how honorable my effort is and that I need to be careful, and a few other things before it was noticed we were talking and people came running.
I don't know that he remembers me very well but the next tour in Toronto when he was with Counting Crows, I and my friend were sent VIP packages that sat me in the press box dead center, he waved a couple times and pointed during songs we talked about that impacted my life and gave me reason for my efforts today. He could release Mary Had A Little Lamb and it would rock! Way to go Rob see you on the next tour!
This song was released one year after I was hospitalized for congestive heart failure in 2017. According to my family I had to be resuscitated. For those that believe in miracles one year later in June 2018 I had no signs of CHF. I'm now 72 and still vertical. I would love to let Rob Thomas know this one of my favorite songs.
I love this song. Lost my mom and my brother in the last 8 months. Why isn't this on the radio more?
❤Thanks for your comments and love on my music page, I never knew my song still touches the heart of many, i hope you never stop following my career?
So freaking excited!! I love you Rob! You and matchbox have always been my absolute favorites!
😁😁😁😙😋😋😋😋
😁😁😁😇😊😊🤗
This is beautiful. Totally had me crying. Love Rob Thomas so much.
PERFECT!!! BUT EVERY NIGHT I GO TO SLEEP IS THE DAY I SURVIVE! This man does not know how to write a bad song!!! Rob is the absolute Best!
I’m not afraid of getting older but dang if Rob Thomas sang to me I would definitely live a whole lot LONGER !And there will never be another Rob Thomas!I saw Matchbox twenty in 1997 in Knoxville Tennessee and I’ve never ever been to such a AMAZING concert cause they literally sound as good live as they do in videos!But the one thing that sucks is the fact that I’ll never see them again.BIGGEST FAN EVER.💯💯🙏🩷🤬🤬🤬🤬
With long life God will satisfy us And show us His salvation Psalm91/16v
I was dreading turning 50 soon, but I just heard this song for the first time and he really helped me realize I was looking at it all wrong!
Awesome❣️ My mom transitioned at age 43, a cousin at 19, and sister at 48 and whenever anyone says yuck to getting older I shake my head, and say something if possible.
There's something about his voice I have always loved. As I get older I can certainly relate to this song.
This song is exactly how I feel as I’m getting older and I’m only 45 😩Love this song and I have always been a big fan Rob Thomas and Match Box Twenty ❤️
I'm only 18 but still I've never been afraid of getting older or death no point fearing something you can't control but what you can control is your life choices we might make bad one's but some mistakes are worth it each day is a gift and your chance to do something life is all we have when it's over ❔❔❔❔❔❔❔❔❔❔who knows hello from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Rob Thomas have followed throughout your career and this song is really powerful. Plz come to wells fargo arena for a concert n Des Moines iowa
@Rob Kelly Thomas oh please do come to Des Moines. I will do my very best to be in the front row.
Rob you are so talented. You had a hard life growing up, but You are special. God has given you talent and blessed you. Continue to treasure each moment. Be blessed and happy.
Rob Thomas ages like a fine wine, just keeps getting better with age
He has a voice that draws one in....almost hypnotic and he has so much to say in his music! Thanks Rob for your talent and contributions! Awesome voice and awesome music.....
I've loved Rob Thomas for as long as I can remember. This song just serves to remind me of why he's the greatest.
I have no intention of ever not listening to your music; you and your music really are the best therapy for the soul.
My God why is this NOT played on the radio? I guess our age bracket doesn't matter any longer. Did you see the Grammy's? What happened to musicians who actually played instruments and took pride in their depth of their lyrics? Don't give up Rob !!! God help us ALL !
This was the album that has rescued me the most from every crisis I have
