I live in Ohio across the Lake from CA of course. One early morning @2005? I heard this song coming from a CA radio station very broken with static but was able to stop and write a couple lines down, I spent the rest of the day online trying to find this song and finally did. This is one of my top 20 songs of all time. I play it on my guitar around the campfire (with credit to Matt) and it’s always a favorite Thanks Matt!
I love running across these songs arbitrarily that just knock you off your socks. I literally stopped everything I was doing to listen to this song over and over 12 times in a row.
Takes me back to my senior year in high school. Reminds me of going on a road trip with my late stepfather in one Friday after school to do some shopping. This song rocks!
Text from my son, that saw him last night in Saint John. "Went and seen Matt Mays last night in the village. Gave me goosebumps; unbelievable show. I've heard a couple tunes never paid much attention. Big fan now; he was amazing. Came back for an encore; place was going crazy." Well done Mr Mats et al. You impressed, no doubt
2023.. I'm sitting in my Mom's kitchen and she's jamming out to some pretty grungy rock. You came on - she's got great taste. Haven't heard this in years, but that one line gets me every time... I miss his guitar playing in my ear too. 🤍
Dartmouth, NS is a very nice city actually all of Nova Scotia is a very pretty province just wish airplane tickets weren't so expensive in this country so I could visit again.
"I got a girl, she got lot's of style, you can see every tooth in her mouth when she smiles." My girlfriend many years ago. It breaks my heart and makes me happy at the same time. Thank you Matt Mays.
I love this song! I don't know why but it reminds me of driving in my grandfathers farm truck. We were driving through Grayburn Coulee in the Cypress Hills from Reesor Lake to Fort Walsh. It was fall, the forest was golden and the pine trees towered above the golden foilage. For some reason this song takes me back to that time in Southeast Alberta.
I'm going to be the first to raise my glass on a Friday night and say awesome song guys! You walk amongst the greats in music! All the very best ! Dave
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays; Matt … stuck in quarantine, w/ my BF b/c of Covid exposures-I’m in human medicine now & he’s a bike courier (& musician)- was feeling nostalgic & wanting comfort…as we can’t be with our family/friends.

I got the chance to work backline tech at the Budweiser's stage Toronto,Ont for the summer. Had the band sign my Custom painted Jimmy Hendrix Stratocaster Before the show as I couldn't say no to a brother in need of a few bubblies. Long story but Matt would remember me specifically by the joke he made about him being the only one to be wearing his T shirt on that stage. Keep on Rocking in the free world !!!!
Going to see him today so excited if i meet him im gonna be so happy i'd love to get into his head he is a musical genius .. i'd love to here some of his ideas
If you wish me luck, don't tell me to break a leg, I could've been walking on a peg! I Love You! When are you coming to Sask again? I've seen many of my favourite bands, big acts and a lot of canadians too. But my life will not be complete until I see Matt!

"I lost a friend, in this past year. I miss his guitar, ringing in my ear..." Rest in peace Jay Smith.
Jay died in 2013

@@Gamer-hl2qc Dude!
Thank you for your service!
A masterpiece
First heard this on CBC 3 back in 2005 when I was in my first year of university. Amazing how a song can bring you back to a specific time and place.

I am from Mississippi and I love this song. Reminds me of the days when I used to play music.

I love this song so much. I miss Jay! he was one of my best friends in my skater days. R.I.P jay smith
I always find my way back to this soulful tune
Watched him play last night in Halifax. It was an excellent show

I Love You! When are you coming to Sask again? I've seen many of my favourite bands, big acts and a lot of canadians too. But my life will not be complete until I see Matt!
Agreed! Matt rocks!
The City of Lakes is Sudbury, Ontario.
From an ex-pat Cape Bretoner...I will always return to the city of the lakes
so good so sweet

Dig this sound, nice and dirty, kinda reminds me of some tom petty-love the tones
Mike Fletcher I can see that.
Petty and Young

Thumb up in 2021
