Mat Kearney, Afsheen - Better Than I Used To Be

[@davinu.9867]

Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:13-14

[@summertriangle4745]

Amen 🥳

[@ttiger86]

This song reminds me of my husband and me. In 2019 we lost some friends we thought would never leave our lives. We drew closer to God and each other in this time. Ever since we’ve been stronger together than ever. Through it all we’re better than we better used to be.

[@jnc0brav080]

Does anyone else find this song beyond interesting? This is my favorite song ever! Matt keep it up! You are inspiring me to make good great songs!✊🏾

[@JafoTHEgreat]

What I get from this video is that it's about the car in a way. It went through 3 different owners with lives of there own. Then of course you got brotherly love, puppy love/budding love, then the love/trials of marriage. Each of them went though struggle but "are better than they used to be." The song is great but I'm captivated by the video and the visuals that the song enhances. The video tells a story here and that's what the director was hoping someone if not all would see. Then the ending with Matt, his wife and Olive his daughter. He had another daughter in 2020 too. Cool video and song.

[@jamesharduon3593]

Wonderful song. This guy is criminally underrated.

[@TheFireGlory07]

Mat, thanks for your songs, man! I hope you never give up on sharing your high standards and values through music for whatever reason. I listen to your music everyday knowing that only good things will come out of it. God bless!

[@richardschoenrock5317]

Avid Matt Kearney follower. Amazing show when my wife and I saw you at St. Andrews Hall in Detroit (so glad to know of you there when you were coming up) Saw you again at DTE when you were touring for the christian rock band to raise money. Played "Ships in the night" at my wife and my wedding. Still love the sound and am looking forward to see you play soon. Planning to dance with my wife to this song "Better than I used to be" in front of our kids (2yr and 4yr) at dinner tomorrow night just to show them how great love can be in the presence of great music. Keep it coming...you are inspirational on multiple levels!!!!

[@giannasworld5060]

Hi Mat! So glad I could meet you in Philadelphia! You're super nice! Your music makes me feel happy all the time. Keep doing what you love and making music.

[@trseven100]

Just heard "Kings and Queens" on the car radio! It's been a long time since I've heard Mat get air play on a local DC station...long overdue. Keep recording Mat!

[@JonasWeather]

One of my favorite artists here! Absolutely love Kearney's music.

[Chorus] We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time Talkin' 'bout high hopes and daydreams Never thought love, never thought life Could take us far beyond what we believed As long as I got your love next to me I'm better than I used to be [Verse 1] I been chasin' this dream I'm so glad you understand Climbing up a mountain, would it leave you hardly standing Things don't go just the way you planned it But I never thought we'd have, so much to take for granted [Pre-Chorus] You never know what you got till it's gone Guess I never know cause I know you're my only one [Chorus] We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time Talkin' 'bout high hopes and day dreams Never thought love, never thought life Could take us far beyond what we believed As long as I got your love next to me I'm better than I used to be Better than I used to be [Verse 2] It's been a long day alone And I can hardly stand it My plane leaves tomorrow But my heart has already landed Things didn't go, just the way I planned it But I never thought we'd have, so much to take for granted [Pre-Chorus] You never know what you got till it's gone Guess I never know cause I know you're my only one [Chorus] We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time Talkin' 'bout high hopes and day dreams Never thought love, never thought life Could take us far beyond what we believed As long as I got your love next to me I'm better than I used to be Better than I used to be Better than I used to be Better than I used to be [Chorus] We used to be kids in the backseat wastin' time Talkin' 'bout high hopes and day dreams Never thought love, never thought life Could take us far beyond what we believed As long as I got your love next to me I'm better than I used to be

[@corycamarote7836]

I do not understand how this song isn't infinitely more popular...

[@Billabongesta]

It's December 2018 and this video only has 621,033 views & 164 comments & 92K subscribers for the channel. If you see this comment in future, I know the numbers will be in millions. But true fans are those that love the artist before he goes mainstream. His voice is like a miracle! The new Coldplay for sure.

[@jcoune]

MAT has been around for years, where have you been?

[@Billabongesta]

@@jcoune But he is still somehow underrated, and that's why I haven't even heard of him before. Haven't lost hope he'll success in a much broader manner.

[@POMMIMOMMY]

The reason his music is so special Is that it tells a true story as it is happening..❤

[@briansumabong3944]

I could literally listen to Mat Kearney all day long. Incredible talent.

[@thousandfootdeepend1278]

That ending almost killed me... Cuteness overload!!

[@beautybeast3876]

Mat, you are wise beyond your years...I love all of your music and this is no exception. 😃

[@michellemarcus8443]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!! Mat you just keep getting better!!!! Been listening to Crazy Talk every day...you are truly gifted! God bless!

[@jonbutton3259]

This whole album is gold. Love it.

[@joon7599]

I’m 11and I sware... “you’re my only one” you are growing so much... you were my first concert I went when I was younger ily sm. This is amazing and just., keep going keep fighting ur awesome!! Edit: no joke. I’ve never gotten likes! Ty for the 2

[@ravencorvus7419]

Why is no one talking about how cute Mat Kearney's family is in that last shot??? Olive is so precious!

[@stillsearchin3457]

Damn this song made me tear up. The part with the brothers I believe and the older brother breaks the petty fighting up made me think of my two lil brothers. Life wouldn't be the same without them 🥲. Damn Kearney you've done it again

[@jonbutton3259]

Mat is the original Ed Sheeran. Amazing stuff!

[@dylanchan3772]

You heard it here first: This song is gonna become a hit in a couple of months and this music video is going to have millions of views, and this song is gonna be all over the radio.

[@ucdavis4pt0gpa]

"Things didn't go just the way I planned it.....but I never thought we'd have so much to take for granted....."

[@marissaviola9499]

I love everything Mat Kearney comes up with...can't stop singing this one and I was overjoyed to hear that he's coming out with a new album! I bought the Ep...I have absolutely loved him for the last 10 years

[@oliveoil3871]

How come this guy really isn't famous? Mat is like, such a great artist!

[@jujubee8638]

Mat thanks for being you!! Ur longtime fan on Whidbey Island.

[@mahammedhagi98]

Beautiful Song. It has peace written all over it. It's an anthem for life and that way it's suppose to be.

[@POMMIMOMMY]

This song must be for your wife. Remember, You threw my love away and she tied you down with how many kids?

[@hadfda1]

Wait what???????

[@kurono90]

this song has something special, I think is so easy to identify yourself with the lyrics and remember your childhood traveling in "the backseat wasting time"

[@jacobmccorry125]

I'm a huge fan seen him live for the first time in 2015 and I just got tickets to see him again in March. Just Kids and Young Love where my two favorite albums but so far the first couple songs that he's released on this upcoming album are amazing. Face To Face is my favorite but this is a good song. Love the beat the lyrics and the synth sounds.

[@kcwidman]

I consider myself a wholly convinced atheist, but I gotta recognize good music when I see it. Great song.

[@Larrysjf1985]

how come this song i neva heard of it till 2021.I’m in loving it

[@muhatsy2455]

I hope you keep your self & your songs away from illuminati music industry that's make you a slave.. And keep you high standards for your own sake, your family, and your fans who really appreciate your artworks.. With love from Syria

[@kinshuksharma4981]

How come this man is not famous and people like lil pump are. 🙄🙄

[@brandonstrickland8234]

I can tell you how this man ain't famous as other musicians; he's not a sellout! Most of his music is considered Christian, and apparently, he's not willing to give in to "HELLYWOOD" just to make a buck.

[@Mouhsinah5]

coz lil pump has sold his soul to satan but Mat kearney refuses to do so...

[@ryanc5572]

@@brandonstrickland8234 He doesn't need to be. I've loved him as he is since Nothing Left to Lose.

[@reelmatthewswinslow]

What's a lil pump

[@elias7507]

My thoughts exactly. Mat Kearny is definitely underrated! Been listening to him for over 10 years.

[@dav12r1]

Great song !!!
