Mat Kearney - Can't Look Back

Directed by: Sam Boyette

[@starspangledsports9099]

I'll never understand why your music isn't more popular. You are one of the most underrated musicians in the world bro.

[@elisproductions3823]

I agree

[@zoedixon9737]

It's popular enough in New Zealand :) I often hear his stuff on the radio

[@priebec]

it's pretty easy when you just take someone else's song...New Light by John Mayer....

[@jorgeherrera6734]

This guy needs to be sued for stealing John Mayers song!! Shame in his ass!

[@jorgeherrera6734]

@@priebec I thought I was the only that noticed it!! 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

[@aditirawat4560]

Anybody notice his music videos always have such unique, calm, stunning visuals?

[@DarkCloak]

Nobody seems to capture a 'free and breezy' spirit quite like Mat Kearney.

[@youngorangee]

this is a great song

[@mlgidiot8478]

John Mayers "new light" sung by Chris Martin

[@roymonalberth638]

Es la misma. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@alexiscaro_]

Jajajaj hoy la escuché en Spotify y vine a KZbin solo a ver los comentarios... es igual a New LIght... coincidencia???? Creo que no

[@clydefloyd8751]

I thought exactly the same 🤣

[@IFenderFatStrat]

Love on the weekend in a new light lol

[@micahhuge1474]

LITERALLY

[@lairdsessions6254]

This guy just doesn’t make a bad song- excellent blend of lyrics for your head and notes that do something for your emotions

[@neurologicalc2988]

I’m a huge fun since 10 years ago! & even though I’ve never been to one of your concerts I can’t wait to go to one once this pandemic is over. Your music is always quality. Thank you Mat

[@petrawitty5575]

He is EXCELLENT live! I hope you get to go and see him.

[@SJL07]

@@petrawitty5575 He really is! I saw him just before the pandemic started and Mat was amazing. His voice is so pure, flawless. Plus he is a great story teller!

[@josephikrakowski3792]

He is the best live! Such a chill dude, he brought people up on stage to sing with him, and he sang about the buildings at the college he was performing this concert at

[@JordanTaylorVideos]

I don’t hit that bell often on YT, but I do for Mat. All notifications. Love it, man. You deserve more notoriety than you get.

[@joer.1461]

Hey Jordan!!

[@thecoleopterist]

Woah! Hi Jordan! Impeccable taste in music.

[@rodriguez.fernando]

I agree...

[@jorgeherrera6734]

He literally just copied John Mayers “new light”.

[@rodriguez.fernando]

...and still sounds cool.

[@YaMattyBoi]

Lyrics :) I was on a train outta New Mexico Looking for a flame for my heart of coal Sold my Nikon lens to get outta town Don't know how deep you're in till you're tryna get out She was floating like a vision down through the aisle Mississippi queen with a Tennessee smile The smell of cheap coffee and Jamaican rum We watched the desert fade in the Santa Fe sun I said I'm not feeling right She said, "Boy, you'll be just fine Go ahead and rest your eyes" 'Cause you can't look back (can't look back) You can't look back (can't look back) There ain't no future in the past And you can't look back (can't look back) With characters galore in the Sayulita sun Pineapple pastor with the señoritas All the disenfranchised kids in the room We were baptized in the Pacific moon Someone put a cactus up to my tongue You can feel alive and try calling it love A boy with a smile handed me his keys Said, "Go ahead and try but you'll never leave" Someone was singing a hymn And the moon started to spin So I jump right in Singing can't look back (can't look back) You can't look back (can't look back) There ain't no future in the past And you can't look back (can't look back) The years go by like you never planned I had missed a flight out of Birmingham The way her yellow apron walked in the room There was no mistake in the way that she moved "This is my boy and this is my girl Now I'll be employed till the end of the world" Somewhere tonight on the westbound train I know there's wild hearts just running away It sounded just like a dream One that she's still singing to me It was so bittersweet Because you can't look back (can't look back) You can't look back (can't look back) There ain't no future in the past And you can't go back (can't look back) You can't look back (can't look back) You can't go back (can't look back) There ain't no future in the past And you can't look back (can't look back)

[@jaymeemoreton7944]

The James Taylor voice of our generation

[@irenecausey2751]

I heard this song on the 'Coffee House Station" and this song brought emotions due to my Momma going to Heaven, she would tell me when she was alive on Earth, that when it's her time to go to Heaven to "not look back" and to continue my life making new memories. Thank so much Mat, your beautiful voice and soothing music gave me a sign from my Momma. Thank You Beautiful Soul and many Blessings to you!

[@AAilovemusic]

Mat is one great songwriter. He is seriously underrated.

[@jorgeherrera6734]

@Aaron Parrales except for the fact that he took John mayers song. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Thomaswells86]

Love this. Always liked Mat. He sounds so much like Chris Martin in this.

[@Michael_Livingstone]

“There’s no future in the past” man did I ever need to hear that.

[@avalonsunset3159]

Heard this on the radio - could have sworn it was Coldplay! Fantastic track! God Bless...

[@vxCrusaderxv]

philippians 3:13-14 3 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

[@baycards12]

This is real music. Lovely voice with a classy personality. Need more people like this in our world

[@summertriangle4745]

2020 hit us with a lot of heck and him coming back with songs after 2 freaken years is one of the things that makes it tolerable.🤧

[@juliazanoza9127]

Love the song. 💕 I'm impressed how Mat can ride his bike for so long without using the handle bars! ☺️

[@summertriangle4745]

Yah

[@edit-racha]

😂

[@Spookysausage]

Dude I’ve been jamming to you for years, idk why you’re not bigger but I’m glad I stumbled upon this jam today, it’s a great song

[@coleenkulaw1447]

Love Mat Kearney!!!

[@kevidzo]

Your songs have really been an inspiration dear friend, may God bless you Mat

[@chrisboutilier2967]

This is one of my favorite songs, EVER. And my playlist is usually the Beatles and Beach Boys. Mat, you are wicked good.

[@UniversalUnibrow69]

did we just become best friends??? ;)

[@rockysanchez8203]

Moving on letting go.. that's also a great song.. it lifts up the soul.. 👍

[@UniversalUnibrow69]

been following this man since I was 13? 14? dude, incredible. Those lyrics are just insane. Sayulita sun? Blessed by the pacific moon? dude, just so amazing. Don't leave us Mat.

[@solomonsolomon4898]

this guy is special. yet only a handful of people like i have the chance to know about his songs. thanks bro.....

[@WarpedRecord]

Beautiful, inspirational song and imagery, simple and honest - just what we need these days. Keep taking the high road, Mat!

[@Louis_Velliotes]

"Aint no future in the past." great lyric brother.

[@sarahcatherine1025]

“Alexa, I said play New Light”

[@alexiscaro_]

Jajajaja

[@jmtorres7842]

Exactly !.... twisted melody copy of John Meyers New Light ?...

[@clydefloyd8751]

I thought that too, haha!

[@micahhuge1474]

Right

[@ellapowell3414]

I have only just discovered Mat Kearney by hearing him. On . UCB radio and I can't get enough of his music I play it ALL the time .wow I can't believe I've been missing out . .niw j want to hear every song and find out all about him...ive just bought some of his cds tgecrest are on you tube ...I really want to see him live xx

[@beneu95]

He sounds like Chris Martin of Cold Play... he even looks like him. Great music too :-))

[@Andrew-hy7yj]

Wow this song and video has nice vibes, this song would great for a road trip or a long walk down the coast.

[@standardbrah]

yeah man soooo many of his songs are perfect for road trip playlists

[@deirdremacdougall8415]

Yes @MattKearney so good to have you back ! Love this song and video blaring it on speaker in my kitchen in Boston ! Stay safe and well. 🙏 can't wait to hear more ! 💞 Greetings to all from Boston 💞 "You can't look back "

[@franklindelanoroosevelt9177]

I don’t get the hate, it Is Like New Light sung by Chris Martin, love the indie style of jangly guitar, it may be EXTREMELY similar but I dig it

[@zfanc555]

You mean John Mayer😂 but now I would love to hear chris martin do it

[@itsabeautifullife9768]

I love all of your music! It always tells a story! Amazing!! God Bless you & family!!😌🙏🥰

[@tahirarehman3669]

Who else thinks this amazing guy sounds like Coldplay

[@christinenicole9734]

This is a beautiful music video and song. Mat’s songs always hit the intended mark. Been a fan for the last 6-7 years. Keep killing it my friend and I can’t wait until we are able to go to concerts again xx

[@marissaviola9499]

you read my mind...it's been over a decade of looking forward to his music and watch out for his concerts for me!

[@mrscal2004]

Fleetwood mac. Dreams. Still a great song. ❤

Can’t get enough of this song 🥰 like if you lost count of how many times you’ve listened to it 👍🏻

100% Lost track of how many times I listened to this song

He's getting better and better. Been a Fan since day one. ♥

[@colleeniacofano6187]

Mat kearney sings like no other. From his heart.

[@thepocketco]

Totally thought it was “New Light” by John Mayer when it first came on.

[@lauravargaz6740]

Pienso que si se parece muchoooo

[@ezraxander6715]

Chris Norman, Suzi Quatro - Stumblin' in Sounded way familiar and I'd been searching this song for two hours

[@rjlamanna1]

Mat you simply keep amazing us with your artistry and never ending pursuit of original tunes. Keep them coming! Can’t wait to see you live again in the very near future.

[@TRIWAVEUNITYFIELD]

Thank ❤you Divine synchronicity

[@QueenLibrasAdventure]

It feels so good. Your music makes me bring back to my old days. Such a beautiful voice

[@TheMomoLuv]

Love the vibe of the video accompanied by the song. Well done Mat

[@djdome]

am i the only aware that this is ‘New Light’ 2.0? lol i like the song.. but someone @ John Mayer 🤣

[@kcomelleri8051]

I thought the exact same thing, but this is great because I WORE that song OUT like nobody’s business. Now I can be obsessed with this one for 3 years and maybe by the time I am over this one somebody will made a New Light #3 I can move to. 😆

[@josephhampton9728]

Oh man I knew it! I just couldn't think which his songs it was.

[@carlycambron8802]

I came here just to see if anyone else thought these songs sounded SO much alike

[@hurrikaneszn]

It’s better tho

[@phillkard]

Man, you bug my mind. I was expecting Newlight by John Mayer, then I saw Chris Martin riding a bike, then I felt Finneas singing, then I realised it was Mat Kearney lol

[@user-ni4of2tt2p]

Love this music

[@rommelborjas3789]

Me encanta esta canción, no me canso de escucharla y aunque no se lo que dice.

[@zoltancsernai8073]

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead, long live the king One minute, I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world

[@firewalkerg11]

love his songs, voice and music xo

[@brandondithberry]

I don't understand how there isn't a copyright infringement here considering the melody and style are so close to New Light by John Mayer.

[@michaelsf89]

very underrated artist! i love love his music and videos, he has such beautiful voice!

[@jeffbibler79]

You bring it every time, Mat. I love your unique, soulful and uplifting songs. Can't wait to see you live in 2021.

[@doyenjeff2996]

Heard your song on Sirius XM Coffee House on my way home. Great song!

[@KoolKukumber]

Dude you are *criminally* underrated. Like it should really be a crime. Keep it up thanks for the music

[@daltonguilbeau5257]

Uh, ever heard “New Light” by John Mayer ?

[@dijonliburd9989]

Respect to Mat Kearney. One of my favourite top 3 artists. Keep up the good work bro

[@flyeraerospace8353]

Mat's voice is similar to Chris Martin's... and this song is similar to Viva La Vida. I'm not saying they're identical, but they both have the same vibe, and rhyme in a good way. I love both songs, and especially this one.

[@josemanuelcalvo3800]

Te he escuchado hace poco.......Magnífico Mat....... Desde España.....a ver cuando unos conciertos en España...y mejor en Granada.....tú seguidor desde ya. José Piri👏🫂

[@AdventureDen101]

Might be the best album since Young Love 💕

[@ohnichole6392]

Thank you Mat, love this! Perfect for this time as we Can't Look Back at 2020!!!

[@lisariya]

This song is like a crossover between John Mayer's New Light and Coldplay's Viva La Vida.

[@hermanoribeiro9469]

So true... And his voice sounds a lot like Chris martin's voice. I knew Mat 10+ years ago when somebody put a link to breathe in, breathe out saying it was the new single by Coldplay, and i did believe it back then, till i realized it was Mat, and I fell in love with his music.

[@sophiereel6852]

It’s the Great Value brand

[@doloreschansey9556]

Him and John Mayer have had two of the same record labels - Aware and Columbia, if you Google it. Might contribute to similar sounds in music.

[@Snow_B_Wan]

Was just thinking the same thing the chorus was almost identical with the pattern

[@nicowh1t3]

@@Snow_B_Wan you can pretty much sing the whole chorus to new light over it

[@danielleharty269]

I really hope this is a new album !!

[@leroysmith3479]

Interesting video. The road symbolizes life and sometimes you have to work and pedal and it's uphill and other times you coast but you always keep going forward, running out of time. In the end he's back-pedaling but that doesn't stop him from moving forward. Great song.
