I’ve literally known this song since it came out when I was a kid, but for some reason now, at almost 30 years of age I am suddenly unable to stop listening to it over and over. I only have just realized the genius that is Matthew good. True Canadian royalty if there was any.
I have also known his songs since I was a kid and I’m 33 now. I liked it then but now I appreciate it way more than I ever could as a kid. The lyrics hit home hard now.
@@stonecole4703 I recently realized a lot of songs from the 90s are hitting harder as I age and I am gaining a new profound appreciation for them. The older and more jaded I get. Ha. :)
I've been a return listener of Matt Good since the 90s. I'm in my 60s and he still speaks to me, especially at this time in history, with all the evil bullshit going on. Take the world and make it yours again.
You definitely live in Canada then. lol. I WISH that people outside of Canada and the states and cities bordering Canada (especially Buffalo,NY) KNEW of this band and many others, that hail from Canada. I live in FL now, but I'm originally from NY. I'm singing MGB and now MG, all the time, and no one has a clue who they are. It's frustrating! In 2013 I flew up to NY, met up with a friend, and then drove into Toronto, just to see Matt play at Massey Hall. It was AMAZING!
David H That's awesome! I love the fact that he allows himself to evolve. A lot of people get upset with an artist evolving, and I've never understood that.
As an American who lived in Pennsylvania, I am truly GRATEFULFUL for FM96 for having the power to make it across the lake as well as their playlist!! Cheers
www.krock1057.ca/ It's a radio station out of Kingston Ontario. Wife and I were traveling through the area and picked up on their station. I heard some pretty good bands including Heard of The Heard (check out By This Time Tomorrow), I'm sure you'll like it, cheers'
This song represents one of those rare occasions where all the stars align. Matt was at his absolute (and hidden tortured) best and all other members of the band including bassist Goff Lloyd ,R.I.P. were perfect. I!! If you could capture lightning in a bottle, would you recognize when it happened? This song deserves more radio play than it receives
Matthew Good Says Freedom Protesters Should be Sent to Congo and Shot by Child Soldiers... he's a fas clst Trudeau shill. the vacs didn't even prevent people from being contagious. Mandates were immoral and senseless. Lockdowns only ruined our economy and caused suicides.
I didn't appreciate this song as I was too young to fully grasp the deep meaning of this song when it came out. It's even more relevant today.. way ahead of its time.

I was introduced to MGB by someone years ago on the internet. I cant remember their name, or anything about them, except for their good taste in music. Thank you random internet person that I used to speak to...
My first BF, who happened to be from Buffalo, introduced me. I can thank him for that at least. ;) He did leave me with a lot of great music that I still listen to and love to this day. Always a silver lining I guess.
Same thing for me too--I had a lot of friends in a chat room in the 90s who were really into MGB; there were a lot of Canadians in that community. So glad they introduced me though, MGB is still one of my favorites!
I was a perfect age to appreciate this when it came out; full of pre-teen wonder that starts to rust unless you find shit like this. Take the world and make it yours again
You're right no one is as good as Matthew good talented performer and it's very sad the people are trying to say things about not to good band that aren't true in order to tear down his reputation

+James' ESL be ready for an AWSOME BJ (sorry for the lame jk)if you get to discover all the pearls and pearl necklaces he made...2live at home vids to absolutely watch for any new (or old) fans of his: a girl in the war, a long way down theses ones i find are more like diamonds than pearls
From 3:04 on is what sets matt good apart i belive. Beautiful, raw, from the heart. You can hear the difference in his voice. You can tell he grew up on the west coast. Rainy days last
+Charlene C Timuss Matthew never went anywhere. His music and sound has evolved over time so that he's NOT a parody of himself, he's NOT churning out the same music all the time. He actually almost DID go somewhere: death. In late 2006 he overdosed on Ativan because of SEVERE Anxiety, had himself committed to the Mental Health ward and was properly diagnosed Bipolar Type 1 (Dysphoric Mania). The way he used to look was a result of his mania and anxiety. Seeing him on stage this past November in Edmonton, he displayed some energy that I didn't expect. He came off stage twice, went down the isle singing, and for "Girls in Black" he was half sitting half standing on the railing of the seating by the side wall.........and talking with him just after the sound check, I got to say how much ALL of his music means to me.
Yes! There are rules. You are not allowed to say you like Beautiful Midnight in the comment section of a song from a different CD. The world will melt and chaos will ensue.
I wish that for his next album that he would settle his differences with his old band (The Matthew Good Band) and get together to write, record and produce another album. They were and probably still are amazing musicians, and they meshed really well, I never felt that he overshadowed them. His solo work and the musicians he currently uses are also incredibly skilled and talented but there is just something about a band. What blows me away is how young he was when he began, and how truly brilliant he was. I've heard unreleased songs from his first audition tapes and they blow me away. I'm not jealous, but I am definitely envious. I also love to write, but his lyrics, his voice and the true brilliance that shines through him inspire me, and in so many cases lead me to tears. I also hear voices and see and hear all kinds of insanity, as does he, but he was able to channel it all and create songs and music that inspire so many people. I was really fortunate enough to see him at a tiny venue in Los Angeles, California where he put on a solo acoustic show (it was at the time when he had released the album Hospital Music), and he was awesome to watch. I've mentioned this before...after the show he stepped outside the club to have a cigarette, and I had the chance to talk to him. My brother, best friend are also from Canada (Montreal, Quebec were he's visited and performed) which gave us something in common to talk about - he was right on when he said that Montreal is an incredible food city. I wanted more than anything to tell him that I suffer from the same condition that he does, but I knew it would piss off my brother and friends so I never had the chance...It's amazing some of the stuff he writes about and perceives, I see the same kind of stuff...unfortunately I have a lousy voice, can't write music and have no talent; I do however know how he moves, holds his guitar which allows me to put on a concert for myself and play his music as loud as humanly possible until someone complains. Most importantly, even though I've heard him talk to the audience and sound gruff around the edges, and in the video above he looks like a bit of a prick...lol...he is honestly a really down to earth, quiet and really, really nice guy. My sensitivity to people and energies and the weird unseen stuff all around allows me the good fortune to sense a persons energy, true heart and often their truest soul...and Matthew Good's is so opposite what he projects; he is just like his best songs a truly beautiful, often tortured, loving soul (I'm not trying to kiss his brilliant ass...)..if you read this one day Matthew Fredrick Robert Good, when off stage, you are a really nice guy, not full of himself, but a truly genuine, obviously intelligent nice guy, and shy I think like myself and so many Canadians growing up in frozen winters that saved my life and sanity, by having taught me to internalize my thoughts and to have a safe quiet place in my mind to escape when my bi-polar, manic-depressive, schizo-affective brain goes on overload.
I almost forgot...most importantly...the reason I am certain he sweeter than he wants everyone to know...I also, like him have had two little dogs who would sleep with me, and I could see in one of his personal you-tube videos his love for them...kind of like the way in biblical pictures you would see an image of a kind and loving Jesus carrying around a lamb in his arms...anyone who owns a little dog will understand...they are like loving babies their whole lives...i know i'm rambling...lol
They are reconciling... Matt had his diagnosis. He has bi-polar, the guys were upset at him in their youth, wouldn't show up to gigs etc. and for him they wouldn't understand. Now that there are 4 now... they came together for that special moment when they lost the bassist.
@@thedeviluknow Of course not, they aren't on the same level as MGB, but to be fair neither are the other bands he listed. That level is reserved for The Hip, Rush, Junkhouse, Blue Rodeo, Crash Test Dummies, Neil Young, The Guess Who, and The Band

Such a classic. While other bands just repeat the same things over and over, this song makes use of subtle changes in the recapitulation of the lyrics to make them actually GO somewhere. What a concept!
Don't Despair, Don't Despise, NO DESOLATION. GET UP, LIVE, FIGHT, LOVE, LAUGH, HOPE, PROGRESS, OVERCOME FEAR, SHOW WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF, NEVER GIVE UP, YOU ONLY GET 1 LIFE. FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT, FIGHT FOR YOURSELF, FIGHT THE SYSTEM, FIGHT FOR OTHERS AND THE TRUTH. LOVE YOURSELF OR NOONE WILL LOVE OR SUPPORT YOU. Don't be Distracted, Don't be Deceived, Don't be Exploited, Don't be Divided. STAY UNITED, STAY OBSERVANT, STAY INFORMED, STAY CONNECTED, STAY HEALTHY, STAY ORGANIZED. WAKE EVERYONE UP.
Song tells us to live each day to the Fullest. Do something different every day, do something good everyday, do something new & something you'll be proud of. Don't just repeat the same day everyday & the same failures, don't let anything or anyone get you down, Learn Everyday, learn from your past & any mistakes that you make, improve your future, Enjoy Life, this is the ONLY chance you'll get, don't let life pass you by, do something that Improves You & This World AND Humanity. MOVE. LIVE LIFE
He's a brilliant man, and his songs.. to those who listen to the lyrics and digest them, are not chewy bubble gum songs that repeat, and repeat. Matthew Good writes songs with a purpose behind them, and I think the audience he reaches out with his music to has to have an acquired taste, and if not that, then an understanding of the world around them. I'll listen to his music over the repetitive junk pouring out into the music industry these days.
i remember when he won that CFox seeds radio contest with a demo song in 93 or 94 or somewhere around there. That contest win got him recording time which the band he formed used to make a 4 song demo that landed them their recording deal. Same annual contest Nickelback won like 8 years later and did the same thing.
I feel sad for people who don't know Matthew Good. My friends gave me a cd in the 90s and told me..."Listen to that, you wont regret" I can not describe this music but hey, that is the beauty of it!
I used to skateboard with Matt Good. Back in the day he use to work in a Skateboard store in Coquitlam called Pure Skates. I used to skip school and hang out at the store when he was working. Wierd..he used to listen to Public Enemy back in the day. This is one of my favs from the band.

Just went to see Matt play on thursday and he played this gem from 95. Making great music in 4 seperate decades
Just saw Matt 2 days ago in Edmonton! :D Sooooooo goood.
Listening to this, really all of the MGB albums, repeatedly as of late. Brilliant band.
Seen him play lastnight in Sarnia. Awesome show. 👌

Literally the same right now. Except I'm almost 40, lol. Not sure how this song flew under my radar for so long. I can't stop listening to it now.

I have seen him play live a few times - I am a musician and write songs - he is a huge influence.
David H That's awesome!
I love the fact that he allows himself to evolve. A lot of people get upset with an artist evolving, and I've never understood that.
If it means anything, I'm from Belfast, Northern Ireland, and I'm a massive MGB fan!
That's awesome! I love to hear that.
I never get tired of listening to Matt's music
Who's listening in 2020, more relevant now than ever!!! Still forever grate!!!MGB

TRUE STORY ?

Fuck yeah Erie Pa
this group did a canada day concert for free in their prime they are up there with the tragically hip, neil young🇨🇦

His singing always reminded me of the Tragically Hip's Gord Downie.
Yup right away I hear it good call
Rest In Peace
Canada bands
Imagine if he just straight up took Gord’s spot now that he’s left us??
i was thinking the same thing
hard to believe this came out that long ago, '95 feels like yesterday
My all time favorite artist! So so underrated.
MGB--two decades on and still one of my favorites; this song in particular always resonated with me.
This song still hits hard in 2020

are you from Canada or the US?
Same thing for me too--I had a lot of friends in a chat room in the 90s who were really into MGB; there were a lot of Canadians in that community.
So glad they introduced me though, MGB is still one of my favorites!
LOVE this song. "Take the world & make it yours again" is one of my favorite quotes, period.

Two of the four members of MGB have sadly passed away. But if they were all alive, I too would've loved to see a reunion.
Commodore ball room in the 90's five bucks and matt good. Best time of my life.
Things change, times change, but he is a classic in my eyes. That vibrato, just like the Hip but in his own style which is unique.
Damb best band we love you Mathew
Heard this song first time on a Canadian rock internet show love it - where have I been ????? 🇬🇧
I used to live in upstate NY close enought to buy the cds and hear it on the radio.

I'm tired of blood
And over priced bubble gum, mom
Nobody wake up
There's nothing we could have done wrong
I'm wearing the same grin,
I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I read
And sometimes it's hard,
Sometimes it's harder
Sometimes it's on sale,
Sometimes it never fails
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
She says my destiny's turning out all wrong
So now I just sit here
And thing of meaningful things to say
Symbolistic white walls
Surround you and me
Every single day
I am cheap and see through
I'm tired of blood
And over priced bubble gum
Nobody move and nobody gets hurt
I'm wearing the same skin,
I take it all on the chin
I still believe everything that I hear
And sometimes it's easy,
Sometimes it's easier
And sometimes it's all free,
Sometimes it's all free
I have a psychic and she says I'm lonely
She says inside of me is turning out all wrong
So now I just sit here
And think of meaningless things to say
Symbolistic white walls
Surround you and me
Every single day
I am cheap and see through
It's all right now
Take the world and make it yours again
It's all right now

Don't Despair, Don't Despise, NO DESOLATION. GET UP, LIVE, FIGHT, LOVE, LAUGH, HOPE, PROGRESS, OVERCOME FEAR, SHOW WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF, NEVER GIVE UP, YOU ONLY GET 1 LIFE. FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT, FIGHT FOR YOURSELF, FIGHT THE SYSTEM, FIGHT FOR OTHERS AND THE TRUTH. LOVE YOURSELF OR NOONE WILL LOVE OR SUPPORT YOU.
Don't be Distracted, Don't be Deceived, Don't be Exploited, Don't be Divided.
STAY UNITED, STAY OBSERVANT, STAY INFORMED, STAY CONNECTED, STAY HEALTHY, STAY ORGANIZED. WAKE EVERYONE UP.
We are cheap and se thru.
Take the world and make it yours again.
Best cover, rutland, bc.
For me better than nickelback.
The style of MGB was incredible.
This song is a timeless piece of music
Nickel back isn't allowed in the same time zone as Matthew Good 😂 it's not even close
Painful genius. A treasured Canadian artist.
A pack of Bubble gum is $1.69 now 😮 sure has a Tragically Hip sound!! ❤
Song tells us to live each day to the Fullest. Do something different every day, do something good everyday, do something new & something you'll be proud of. Don't just repeat the same day everyday & the same failures, don't let anything or anyone get you down, Learn Everyday, learn from your past & any mistakes that you make, improve your future, Enjoy Life, this is the ONLY chance you'll get, don't let life pass you by, do something that Improves You & This World AND
Humanity. MOVE. LIVE LIFE
shot on location at queen and roncesvelles in toronto circa 95
A lot of Canadian music videos sure are shot in Toronto a lot.
New favourite song
God I miss the 90s
Better acid more shitty music 50/50
Such an underrated jam
Because he's an artist and musician, not a model, genius.
I wouldnt say UNHEARD of... I been listening to him for years.
I stay at "the Edgewater" (now the Howard Johnson) every time I'm in Toronto. It inspires my writing.
What a Kick-Ass fuckin tune this is! Underrated to the utmost.
If you gave this a thumb down go away dopes
When I sing this song at karaoke night, I know I'm in the wrong bar if nobody recognizes the song.
Ayoye U have big Balls to Do that ! But Nice trip ; ) LOL
I think this is my favourite Matt Goode song.
Not a dance song... But I love to dance to it.
I like it when his songs aren't too 'busy.'
AWESOME SONG
It's all RIGHT NOW
I saw Matt in Cleveland last week for the first time, small place I was right next to the stage. It was almost religious. Not enough music like his.
IMO best Good song he's made.
great music from canada
got to meet him a few time very down to earth guy plus he love my home town montreal alot
I totally agree.. "everything is automatic" is also a great song
He's a brilliant man, and his songs.. to those who listen to the lyrics and digest them, are not chewy bubble gum songs that repeat, and repeat. Matthew Good writes songs with a purpose behind them, and I think the audience he reaches out with his music to has to have an acquired taste, and if not that, then an understanding of the world around them. I'll listen to his music over the repetitive junk pouring out into the music industry these days.
Best vibrato ever
Seen him in The Town Pump in Vancouver in the 90's!
Still kicks ass!
Damn this takes me back great song
i remember when he won that CFox seeds radio contest with a demo song in 93 or 94 or somewhere around there. That contest win got him recording time which the band he formed used to make a 4 song demo that landed them their recording deal. Same annual contest Nickelback won like 8 years later and did the same thing.
this was at the top!, (no adds)
isn't it sad no one knows who this dude is ... as the years past this song will also fade away ... very depressing.
I feel sad for people who don't know Matthew Good. My friends gave me a cd in the 90s and told me..."Listen to that, you wont regret" I can not describe this music but hey, that is the beauty of it!
Love.
The 90s was the last great era of 🎸 🤘
thank you for your music...it saved me on many occasions listening to you helped me find an odd comfort in knowing i aint alone in how i see things
SOMETIMES ITS ON SALE SOMETIMES IT NEVER FAILS
It's all RIGHT NOW!
I used to skateboard with Matt Good. Back in the day he use to work in a Skateboard store in Coquitlam called Pure Skates. I used to skip school and hang out at the store when he was working. Wierd..he used to listen to Public Enemy back in the day. This is one of my favs from the band.
very underrated musician
Beautiful song~
and i haven't seen those good ol colours of Toronto buses in more than a decade
Wicked tune !!
Who's listening in 2084?
Truly heartbreaking lyrics after all the social and economic tragedy this pandemic has caused. Take the world and make it yours again.
I have to say, this is definitely the best song Matt ever wrote, as well as one of the best songs of all time.
We are all hoping that God will let Matthew Good be IMMORTAL and LIVE ON FOREVER.
You are so right man. Music sucks now a days and Music from the 90's Kicks some serious ass!!! Proud to be a Canadian!!!!
Great fuckin tune!
