Prayers for a full recovery, Mr. Sweet. My 15-year old just discovered your songs and it blew his mind when I immediately pulled out Girlfriend. I guess Mom isn't so bad after all!
Let's all keep Matthew Sweet in our prayers, every day let's all pray for him to make a miraculous recovery, he's blessed us with his great songs, let's give him back his much deserved blessings! may Almighty God and Jesus Christ and the saints, tomorrow Nov 1 2024 is All Saints Day, heal Matthew and may Matthew feel God's , Jesus's and the most holy saints love and holy presence through his recovery and healing.
We had so much fun shooting this video, and Matt is such a sweet cat, his wife is a darling, and Roman crushed it as usual. Our 9-cam welded steel box to hold the 9x super8’s was soooo heavy, but it came out great. Our main camera was a 35mm Cameflex, lensed with Zeiss primes pretty wide open. Fun day at Matt’s.
Now I'm shooting an entire documentary on a Canon M50 that's less than 2lbs. Thanks for the memories; Matthew has shaped my music world for over 20 years.
One of the 10 best songs of the '90s. Love the video too. Would love to read some of the concepts and thought processes behind it, if you don't mind sharing.
All the camera specs are gibberish to me I just know it was heavier and more cumbersome to work with. Despite my ignorance thanks for your work on this! Airwalks and a 70 challenger r/t 4speed bring me back to a simpler time when such things were not out of reach. Hope he held onto that car at least till the 08 financial crisis lol
Heard this on the radio for the first time my Junior year of college and went straight to the record store in Manhattan, Ks and got the CD. Still have it too. Great album!
The 90’s was the best.we had song after song that was cool with awesome hooks-guitar bangers…love this era so much.Matthew Sweet is awesome.still listening 2022
Prayers for a full recovery, Matthew. Rise out of this like a phoenix. You've given us so much for years with your music. Now we're here for you. You got this!!
Matthew Sweet layed down some of the best pure rock & roll in the 90s. His sensibility as a writer was just pure brilliance. It's decades later and it still sounds fresh and vibrant.
I love coming back to something like this and sure enough, just days ago there were people doing the same exact thing. For a song that's over two decades old. Timeless.
I haven't heard this song in a couple decades. Was at the gym this morning, and it came on over the speakers. What a wave of nostalgia that hit me! On my home I had this thing cranked.... my God what a tune!
This song and the follow-up single We're the Same (also very good) was played pretty heavily in the spring/summer of 1995 where I was. If I had to guess, it was the Oasis album What's the Story Morning Glory that was released in fall that dictated what alternative music was going to sound like for the next little while, namely Britpop and bands like Oasis, Blur, Elastica, etc. It doesn't exactly jive with Sweet's music which is decidedly more bubblegum in tone. If I remember, Sweet did a slew of soundtrack and compilation album singles (notably he did the Scooby Doo theme song, which I thought was awesome), but I don't think it did much to help his recognition. I wish more people knew about Matthew Sweet too.
I couldn’t have said it better! The first time I heard this song, I was at work. It was late at night, and I was ending my shift at a supermarket. A friend of mine came over and played it to me. I was completely blown away! It was one of the most perfect songs I had never heard! Some years later, I was looking for the album at a local record store. I asked the girl behind the counter if she had it, and she replied:” Matthew Sweet?” We don’t keep that kind of junk in stock anymore...it just doesn’t sell”! I immediately walked out. I was totally surprised.
Ikr? I saw him in Nashville in 1994, he was great in concert, a whole lineup of different guitars switching it up, it was after Girlfriend, the tour for Altered Beast... So underrated
Man I forgot about this song and all the sudden the chorus popped into my head today like over 2 decades later! Pure joy, 90s where the best music just awesome! ❤️💖❤️💖
I'll just say there's a hidden agenda behind the music industry that seeks to promote certain things while burying others. The people who own the record labels, networks, and airwaves are interested in more than just money or rewarding talent.
Konnichiwa! I came back to watch this video for the first time in years. And liked all 600+ comments to be with all the people who love this song! From a Japanese Matthew fan who spent her youth in the 90s!
I'm pretty sure this song landed me my wife. She visited practice back in the day and thought this was an original. Such an amazing song. Thanks Matthew!
One of the great songs of the 90’s. Matthew Sweet always had a Beatlesque way of approaching songs with some fun and upbeat things going in his songs. He’s a rocker.
I first heard this song when I was 15. I'm now 43. I've never heard of another Matthew Sweet song. Yet I can remember the first time I heard this song. Weird.
I fell in love with this song when it came out and I am still in love with it today. And it is still dedicated to the same person. It is the perfect little gem, capturing a time that will never be again.
This is just one of those songs that brings me back to my teenage days, on the couch in the basement with my 4 friends, MTV in the background, when we acted like life was so hard but knew how easy we had it. This song brings back the good part of being a 90s kid
Hands down my favorite Matthew Sweet song. Played it on ghetto gear back in the 90s, play it with some modern gear now, but now mostly the same vintage as the video. The gear in this video is better than my modern stuff by far.
This song and album will always be the soundtrack to the first love of my life at age 19. Just hearing this song gives me that lovesick queasy feeling again at 43.
Im only 32 and I have already realized nastalgia is one if the most powerful things in the world. Its amazing how this song can make me feel like a little kid playing super Nintendo again.
Mid 1990’s, High school in Maryland. Brings me back to some of the best days of my life, playing this song in our team room in the locker room of a building that no longer exists. Wow, just…wow. Talk about bittersweet.
You don't know how you move me Deconstruct me And consume me I'm all used up I'm out of luck I am starstruck By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive But I'm sick of myself when I look at you Something is beautiful and true In a world that's ugly and a lie It's hard to even want to try And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know I'll take or leave The room to breathe The choice to leave you I'll throw away A chance at greatness Just to make this Dream come into play, I don't know if I'll find a way 'cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you Something is beautiful and true In a world that's ugly and a lie It's hard to even want to try And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know I'm beginning to think baby you don't know There's something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive But I'm sick of myself when I look at you Something is beautiful and true In a world that's ugly and a lie It's hard to even want to try And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
First concert I ever went to when I was 16 was the KROQ Weenie Roast 1995 and Matthew Sweet was the opening act. When he played this song I got chills all over my body.
God bless you kid. You are still a dream of so much I wanted and you are a great man who has moved so many. Including me. Thank you. Divine Intervention will tend to us all. Be brave and be well.
Matthew Sweet was the 90s king of the buttery power chord progression. I saw him live once at an outdoor festival in '95, and he's as good live as he was on the album. He was drunk off his ass at the time, and still kiling it.
Many thanx MatthewSweetVEVO for posting this fuckin´ superb 'Sick Of Myself' Video & Song!!🇺🇲👊🤟🤘...I saw this video for the first time here in SANTIAGO, CHILE in the 90´s!!...This is my very very first time hearing it & seeing it here in TH-cam!! 😋...GREAT CONTRIBUTION!!..Rocker Greetings from SANTIAGO, CHILE, SOUTH AMERICA!! 🇨🇱💪👊🤟🤘😋👏☠️👿🖕✊🧢☺️🍻👢🤛🤜💀😈😁🍺🥧🍰🎼🎸🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱🇺🇲🇨🇱 I'm Sebastian Andrew Sierpe Toral, i'm 51 years old now in 2023.

Just heard this for the first time in years on Lithium a few days ago and can't get it out of my head!!! This and Girlfriend were my go-to songs for crushes when I was in high school in the 90s!!!😂😂😂
So, reviewing Matthew Sweet's Wiki page, this fellow had a limited amount of commercial success, but got to make music with artists most people would recognize. Matthew Sweet is a journeyman, musician, recording artist, song writer, I'm stunned that I didn't know more about him and his accomplishments. Because I gravitate to 90's punk-pop, invariably the TH-cam algorithm would point me to this song...thank goodness it did.
I might be off but matthew always felt like one of the best writers to come out of the 90’s. A musical genius imo. He had everly level harmonies and the spine of the replacements. Im sure there were many other apparent comparisons but what an timeless writer. I will never understand why he wasnt bigger than alot of things but such is life. Its a complete mess and he always made me feel a bit of hope or peace while listening. Pure genius
Sweet was one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen. Something went wrong in the first song, he turned around yelled at everyone in the band and the electricity went off the goddamned chain. I was unsafe and I loved it!!!!!!!! Remaster this bad boy!
I remember initially dismissing this album when it came out. I let a friend use mycar & he left the CD in my stereo. It stayed in there for a solid 3 weeks before he made give it back. Such a great album front to back.
Hearing this in 2021 reminds me of a very important song that had been left off my list of classics. Wow Wow Wow. us old school enthusiasts are hard pressed to have our "solid lists of the greatest" I've done so many internet searches.... stuff like this somehow filters through. Well,not now. I've got this from now until "I'm sick of myself"

Get well soon Matthew ❤️
Yes, indeed. 😢
What happened to Matthew Sweet
Prayers going up for Matthew, hoping he has a full recovery from his stroke.
Prayers for a full recovery, Mr. Sweet. My 15-year old just discovered your songs and it blew his mind when I immediately pulled out Girlfriend. I guess Mom isn't so bad after all!
My favorite Matthew Sweet song. Such a talented yet underrated artist. Keeping you in my thoughts for a full recovery.
Mine too ❤
Masterpiece of a song. The drumming and guitar are insane, and the chorus is brilliant. Matthew Sweet deserves much more recognition.
The drumming is ordinary that's why the song is perfect.
Absolutely, You are 100 Percent correct!
I miss the 90s everyday 😫
I was so concerned about the future....forgot to enjoy the present
was just about to comment the same thing.
They are never coming back.
GREAT decade to be out seeing shows and checking out new albums. Feel really lucky to have been a younger person during that time.
"World that's ugly and a lie, it's hard to even want to try" is an all-time lyric ever.
Let's all keep Matthew Sweet in our prayers, every day let's all pray for him to make a miraculous recovery, he's blessed us with his great songs, let's give him back his much deserved blessings! may Almighty God and Jesus Christ and the saints, tomorrow Nov 1 2024 is All Saints Day, heal Matthew and may Matthew feel God's , Jesus's and the most holy saints love and holy presence through his recovery and healing.
Quite possibly the most underrated rock song ever.
it's not that under rated, although, yes it is
This song as well as several others by Matthew Sweet are in my list of the best 1000 songs in my lifetime.
Yeh I’d say it’s underrated
No. not even close. Good, not most underrated. shut your hyperbole.
The whole album is amazing.
Was in a crummy mood and this tune came on. Haven’t heard it years. Completely changed my day. 👍
That's awesome! Great music will do that.
Was just thinking the same 😊
Sending healing energy & prayers to you Matthew. Please get well soon!
We had so much fun shooting this video, and Matt is such a sweet cat, his wife is a darling, and Roman crushed it as usual.
Our 9-cam welded steel box to hold the 9x super8’s was soooo heavy, but it came out great. Our main camera was a 35mm Cameflex, lensed with Zeiss primes pretty wide open. Fun day at Matt’s.
Now I'm shooting an entire documentary on a Canon M50 that's less than 2lbs. Thanks for the memories; Matthew has shaped my music world for over 20 years.
did y'all also shoot the live-action scenes on "Gilrfriend" as well ???
One of the 10 best songs of the '90s. Love the video too. Would love to read some of the concepts and thought processes behind it, if you don't mind sharing.
All the camera specs are gibberish to me I just know it was heavier and more cumbersome to work with. Despite my ignorance thanks for your work on this! Airwalks and a 70 challenger r/t 4speed bring me back to a simpler time when such things were not out of reach. Hope he held onto that car at least till the 08 financial crisis lol
God your so lucky I would die to meet Matt he his music has got me threw so much hardship in my life
A song that should have survived as one of the best rock songs of the 90's.
I'm actually mad it only has a million views
loved from day one! he is awesome!
should have? It will always be Sweet. ❤🎸
20000 percent
Heard this on the radio for the first time my Junior year of college and went straight to the record store in Manhattan, Ks and got the CD. Still have it too. Great album!
This is my favourite song by Matthew Sweet. His entire back catalogue is full of gems. Please get well soon.
The 90’s was the best.we had song after song that was cool with awesome hooks-guitar bangers…love this era so much.Matthew Sweet is awesome.still listening 2022
...and beyond!
Hear, hear.
90s the decline of rock n roll
Rapp took over n and of great talent out there but rap $$ for 1 hit Das it
The 90’s were good, but I am 74 and think that about the 60’s and early 70’s. Fortunately, there were bands that saved me from disco.😊
Prayers for a full recovery, Matthew. Rise out of this like a phoenix. You've given us so much for years with your music. Now we're here for you. You got this!!
Well wishes going out to Matt. Better days ahead brother.
Matthew Sweet layed down some of the best pure rock & roll in the 90s. His sensibility as a writer was just pure brilliance. It's decades later and it still sounds fresh and vibrant.
Wishing you a speedy recovery. Awesome song for an awesome time to be alive.
He is so underrated. This song takes me right back to the 90's. Love it.
Get well from Toronto. This song brings back memories of how free we were back then.
He is so great, it’s a shame more people don’t know how good he is.
At least he got to party with Mike Meyer and that Bangles chick.
I’m beginning to think ... maybe they don’t know .................
Those who know, know.
Haven’t heard this in 20 years. 90’s music the best
This is probably the greatest power pop song of all time.
Along with The Records' "Starry Eyes" and Flamin' Groovies' "Shake Some Action". All pure power pop goodness.
I’ll add Matthew’s “We’re the Same”, Big Star’s “Back of a Car” and Superdrag’s “Hellbent” to the discussion lol. 👍🏻
What about All I Want from Toad The Wet Sprocket or Diane from Material Issues
"Girlfriend" needs to be added too.
I love coming back to something like this and sure enough, just days ago there were people doing the same exact thing. For a song that's over two decades old. Timeless.
As so many others have: wishing the best for Matthew and his family. My daughters heard his music growing up and love it to this day.
This album came out when I was in highschool, every time I listen to these songs its like being right back there. Music is amazing.
I haven't heard this song in a couple decades. Was at the gym this morning, and it came on over the speakers. What a wave of nostalgia that hit me! On my home I had this thing cranked.... my God what a tune!
Never tire of this song. Perfectly crafted. Classic pop song. I don't understand why it did not receive more airplay.
This song and the follow-up single We're the Same (also very good) was played pretty heavily in the spring/summer of 1995 where I was. If I had to guess, it was the Oasis album What's the Story Morning Glory that was released in fall that dictated what alternative music was going to sound like for the next little while, namely Britpop and bands like Oasis, Blur, Elastica, etc. It doesn't exactly jive with Sweet's music which is decidedly more bubblegum in tone.

I wish more people knew about Matthew Sweet too.
pop song? this is alternative rock 😒
those terms are mutually exclusive
I couldn’t have said it better! The first time I heard this song, I was at work. It was late at night, and I was ending my shift at a supermarket. A friend of mine came over and played it to me. I was completely blown away! It was one of the most perfect songs I had never heard!

This song got substantial air time here in Atlanta on 99x. It's a fantastic song.
Such an underrated artist
I still rock out to him for days
YEP....great song from an epic album
Ikr? I saw him in Nashville in 1994, he was great in concert, a whole lineup of different guitars switching it up, it was after Girlfriend, the tour for Altered Beast... So underrated
@@tysparks598 I was at that show.
Underrated and now overweight. Poor guy.
Man I forgot about this song and all the sudden the chorus popped into my head today like over 2 decades later! Pure joy, 90s where the best music just awesome! ❤️💖❤️💖
That's exactly what happened to me today so... here I am! 😆
@@kimv6547Glad to know i'm not alone my friend!
Such an underrated artist.
There is no rating system for artists. It’s all subjective.
Awesome song. Never understood why Mathew Sweet never got more airplay and acclaim, so talented.
I'll just say there's a hidden agenda behind the music industry that seeks to promote certain things while burying others. The people who own the record labels, networks, and airwaves are interested in more than just money or rewarding talent.
Poor agent
Konnichiwa! I came back to watch this video for the first time in years. And liked all 600+ comments to be with all the people who love this song! From a Japanese Matthew fan who spent her youth in the 90s!
Arigato
Such a brilliant songwriter. His songs are pretty much perfect.
I agree... wait for it... 100%!!!
Sorry.
oh yeah..perfection..
_Sweet_ perfection.
That whole album is great. Highly recommend it if you do not have it.
This is one of the best Matthew Sweet songs!
I remember when this cd came into the studio. This song blew me away! Played it on everyone of my college radio shows. RIP 91.3 WSGR!
That wouldn’t be South Green Radio at OU would it?
I'm pretty sure this song landed me my wife. She visited practice back in the day and thought this was an original. Such an amazing song. Thanks Matthew!
Wishing you a speedy recovery. 👍
Prayers and Blessings Matt! Keep Rocking, Godspeed!
Sooooo many great songs in the 90's and i was in my 20's and very lucky to experience these songs on the radio and MTV!
I hope you found the girl of your dreams, Matthew ❤️
You've written a perfect Pop song here ❤️
Wishing you a speedy recovery 🙏
God bless you
I was 39 when this song came out, heard it today at 63 still a great song to sing along with.
Matthew Sweet is amazing.
This level of (power) pop perfection is simply astounding. What a melody gifted guy.
One of the great songs of the 90’s. Matthew Sweet always had a Beatlesque way of approaching songs with some fun and upbeat things going in his songs. He’s a rocker.
This song is medicine.
This song is love.
This song is exactly what we need today.
I still sing this song at karaoke. It gets the whole place rocking.
Super underrated musician. Some of the coolest catchy songs of the mid 90s for sure!
Read mr sweet had a bad stroke. So checking out songs that helped his career. So sorry to hear about his stroke you’re in a lot of people’s prayers.
I first heard this song when I was 15. I'm now 43. I've never heard of another Matthew Sweet song. Yet I can remember the first time I heard this song. Weird.
Listen to "girlfriend" "we're the same" "Evangeline"
I fell in love with this song when it came out and I am still in love with it today. And it is still dedicated to the same person. It is the perfect little gem, capturing a time that will never be again.
This song was on such heavy rotation on MuchMusic that they may as well have changed the name to Matthew Sweet TV. Total classic.
I've seen this video countless times and only now did I noticed the Lum art at the very beginning.
Great jam. Full-on mid-1990s. I was in downtown Mobile, sipping Pabst, running around in my Reliant K. Clueless. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
I don't think there's any better rock & roll song ever... This song is a masterpiece!
Thanks dad for getting me into the best genre of music . RIP ❤ If it werent for you I wouldnt know about classic rock , this and more .
OMFG tears streaming down my face. My beautiful wonderful dude, your words mean so much to me. We're only three years apart.
I can listen to this on a loop for hours, and probably have. "Cuz I'm sick of myself when I look at you, something as beautiful and true."
This is just one of those songs that brings me back to my teenage days, on the couch in the basement with my 4 friends, MTV in the background, when we acted like life was so hard but knew how easy we had it. This song brings back the good part of being a 90s kid
Hands down my favorite Matthew Sweet song. Played it on ghetto gear back in the 90s, play it with some modern gear now, but now mostly the same vintage as the video. The gear in this video is better than my modern stuff by far.
Man, this used to loop constantly on MTV back in the 90s. I had absolutely 0 problem with that!
This song and album will always be the soundtrack to the first love of my life at age 19. Just hearing this song gives me that lovesick queasy feeling again at 43.
Same here ,brother. That's the power of music.
Same age (45), same feel, bro
Im only 32 and I have already realized nastalgia is one if the most powerful things in the world.
Its amazing how this song can make me feel like a little kid playing super Nintendo again.
This song also makes me pine for someone of my younger days. She wasn't the one. But she was special to me and I miss our time together.
Mid 1990’s, High school in Maryland. Brings me back to some of the best days of my life, playing this song in our team room in the locker room of a building that no longer exists. Wow, just…wow. Talk about bittersweet.
You don't know how you move me
Deconstruct me
And consume me
I'm all used up
I'm out of luck
I am starstruck
By something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
I'll take or leave
The room to breathe
The choice to leave you
I'll throw away
A chance at greatness
Just to make this
Dream come into play, I don't know if I'll find a way
'cause I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
There's something in your eyes that is keeping my hope alive
But I'm sick of myself when I look at you
Something is beautiful and true
In a world that's ugly and a lie
It's hard to even want to try
And I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
I'm beginning to think baby you don't know
When the vocals lift from the verses to the pre-chorus!
Also, fantastic production and engineering on this whole album.
First concert I ever went to when I was 16 was the KROQ Weenie Roast 1995 and Matthew Sweet was the opening act. When he played this song I got chills all over my body.
Matthew Sweet is one of the most underrated artists ever!
This was released 25 years ago. Wonderful song. It was on the radio a lot, & I loved it every time.
My favorite song of Matthew! He is so cute ♥ I born in 91 and i miss songs like this. Thanks Matthew ^^
Dedicated guitarist doing his solo from an hospital bed. Can't stop the Rock 'n' Roll
I was 16 in the summer of 95. The 90's were so great! .... !!!
Tell me about it
...and today we're in the age of degeneracy
I was 18. I miss the 90’s so much. Good times.
@@rabbit0877 - 15 in '95.
dave barnett I was 26 & having the time of my life!
I have loved this song since the start. I especially love the string rip @ 3:02!! Nice job Matthew!!
Timeless awesomeness! Still holds up in 2023
Arguably the best power-pop artist of the 90's. I loved this album front to back.
God bless you kid. You are still a dream of so much I wanted and you are a great man who has moved so many. Including me. Thank you. Divine Intervention will tend to us all. Be brave and be well.
It honestly could not get any better than this! Just plain wow!
Matthew Sweet was the 90s king of the buttery power chord progression. I saw him live once at an outdoor festival in '95, and he's as good live as he was on the album. He was drunk off his ass at the time, and still kiling it.
Got this CD autographed at Tower Records Chicago back in the day. One of my faves!
Tower records... almost forgot they ever existed. Last time I went in there I was looking for School of Fish cd and a Gruntruck cd.

YES.
Please❤
I will spit the difference, lets get 1985-1995 in the mix
Wish I could go back there and stay
Just heard this for the first time in years on Lithium a few days ago and can't get it out of my head!!! This and Girlfriend were my go-to songs for crushes when I was in high school in the 90s!!!😂😂😂
That 'solo guitar in the hospital' was the best moment in Alternative Nation's history.
Long forgotten about this gem until I heard it the other day on XM. Brought me back! 90's!! I need a time machine
So, reviewing Matthew Sweet's Wiki page, this fellow had a limited amount of commercial success, but got to make music with artists most people would recognize.

Very nostalgic. This was a song I wanted to hear over and over and catch it on tape. Hearing it now is still great to jam to.
I can’t believe he wasn’t a big star. Thank you fir the great music
Matthew Sweet has been the sound track to most of my life❤
I might be off but matthew always felt like one of the best writers to come out of the 90’s. A musical genius imo. He had everly level harmonies and the spine of the replacements.

Its a complete mess and he always made me feel a bit of hope or peace while listening. Pure genius
Matthew Sweet is Mr. Power Pop. He is so good at what he does: sweet voice and fast tempo combined. Can't beat it!
I love this song so much.
Sweet was one of the top 5 concerts I've ever seen. Something went wrong in the first song, he turned around yelled at everyone in the band and the electricity went off the goddamned chain. I was unsafe and I loved it!!!!!!!! Remaster this bad boy!
I saw him in 1995 in Davenport Iowa, and around 2000 in Omaha.
I remember initially dismissing this album when it came out. I let a friend use mycar & he left the CD in my stereo. It stayed in there for a solid 3 weeks before he made give it back. Such a great album front to back.
sending you love, Matthew ❤ get well soon.
i bought 100% Fun when it came out. such a great record. this song still rocks!
this is one of the greatest songs ever written.
Matty Sweet is Jesus.
Another brilliant Matthew Sweet song❤
One of those oddball songs from the 90s that just sorta stuck with me over the years. I LOVE the triple ending. Makes me laugh every time.
Hearing this in 2021 reminds me of a very important song that had been left off my list of classics. Wow Wow Wow. us old school enthusiasts are hard pressed to have our "solid lists of the greatest" I've done so many internet searches.... stuff like this somehow filters through. Well,not now.

I was bout 20 when I heard this on 120 minutes, I played drums but punk music. I love 90s alt n indie, Matthew Sweet very underrated guitarist
