Directed by: Sam Boyette

[@tucrepap456]

"Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25."

[@azcrum]

I used to think 40 was ancient and now I’m 61 and loving this music.

[@songbird2149]

Holy sludge trees that hits different.

[@sagewillow8294]

Oh you did well! I though my life was over when I turned 16

[@SuburbiaScreen]

@Carlos Montes I am turning 19 this year.

[@DDCrp]

Lol

[@Matkearney]

whos here

[@KateMosbyy]

I am here!

[@Dearlyloved60]

Here! Love this concept!!!

[@juliaa8373]

Here!

[@JSH1935]

This is such a great song

[@juliaa8373]

This looks awesome!

[@damononthehill]

"my mom worried bout my marriage, now I'm worried about my parents."Ha. Wow. The relevance

[@tothag84]

I think I've listened to Pontiac 100 times now. Love the piano parts. Makes me think of Bruce Hornsby... Good feelings 👍

[@michaelralte8195]

Had the same feeling about Bruce Hornsby too.

[@OliviaFlorence]

Mat just keeps getting better and better. There’s no stopping him. His music and voice is amazing!

[@DaynaWilliams-v5p]

@@OliviaFlorence Chris Martin did the vocals. Not Mat.

[@kresheverything]

All his music is so relatable 😮 I can't wait to see him in concert 2025

[@CJMEP]

I really like how the skateboarder green-screened to pretend he’s Mat Kearney

[@TheChansen91]

Best comment! 🤣🤣

[@Matkearney]

Ha ha

[@CJMEP]

Mr Kearney, you have sublime skills. Keep it coming all the way down here to New Zealand!!

[@DJ_Gabe]

It's probably professionally shot.

[@symmetry4109]

"And we watch our friends play the same old game, and we all pretend that we're okay..." Yes. Thank you for writing this.

[@melissahunt936]

This reminds me of Pontiac, Michigan, the city right next to the one I grew up in

[@cierraclyde4316]

Great song and such a funny video. It's a blessing and a curse to get old. Mat just turned 42. I'm about to turn 47. I still feel young, but sometimes I feel very old.

[@thecaninefoodie]

I feel that. I’m 38 and it seemed like yesterday I was in my 20s and running wild.

[@kalebkitzmiller6687]

Man, I just want to say thank you for the music you make. I’ll try to shorten this as much as possible...I somehow stumbled across your Young Love album when I was about to leave for college. My Mom, sister and I would listen it to it going back and forth to Mom’s doctor visits. After I left to play ball in college, it helped me on the nights when I would get homesick. As I grew older, Mom got sicker, but when we would your music-3 of your albums: Young Love, One Black Sheep, and Crazy Talk-Mom didn’t seem as sick. She would dance in the passenger seat, and sing/smile ear to ear. Right before I got married this past May, Mom passed away... it’s been tough. But when I listen to your music, it almost feels like Mom is still dancing in the passenger seat. ❤️

[@optimus]

Ive never reflected more on my life than every time I listen to Matt Kearney

[@ginolavayen2704]

This put me in such a good mood❤️ why is he so underrated?

[@putt230]

Great song. You gotta love a nostalgic song and an artist that doesn’t take themselves too serious.

[@mason_basson3342]

It's always been so impressive to me how you don't take yourself too seriously, and truly be yourself no matter if your telling stories at a show, playing golf as Tex or doing a virtual show. You're the best.

[@madsterkitty8541]

exactly!

[@kazuhasgloves]

this really pulls hard at the heartstrings for me, cause I feel so disappointed to be 25 but after revaluating to take my own life. I hope I found a better way to enjoy the rest of my life as much as possible now more than ever.

[@jtperez657]

Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life! Make it one worth remembering. God bless you my friend

[@Matkearney]

@@jtperez657 i love this

[@allancarino7276]

Carry on with life. It's not too late to appreciate all the simple things in life. Be grateful everyday. Never think of the negative energies and focus on the good things. Be kind to anyone and cherish every moment.

[@ericmtz]

Noice!! My 5-year-old said that song is catchy and that she wants to grow up to be like you!! Great song Mat!

[@allancarino7276]

This song gave me goosebumps. I felt sad and happy at the same time. Growing old scares me but new adventures ahead excite me.

[@marissaviola9499]

I can't wait to see Mat in concert again! He was the last person I saw in concert before the Pandemic, and will be the first when it passes! His music is so uplifting, and I've been listening strong and proud since college (over a decade)!

[@BrandonNaatz]

Each album from you is so unbelievably catchy, inspirational, relatable, and nostalgic. Always been one of my favorite artists of all time. Love love love this song!

[@drewfisher6721]

This songs a whole vibe, cruising home after work with the sun setting about to start the weekend

[@k03hl3r]

This track popped up on my Spotify release radar last night and I listened to it about 5 times in a row. This is just some clean songwriting. Phenomenal production, and I really dig the arrangement - some super clever moves there. This is an instant addition in to my "list of songs that I aspire to write something like" bin.

[@mandyadkins8258]

ME TOO!! Played this on loop for at least 20 minutes. I even remarked to my husband to have this song played at my funeral.

[@carolinekuha6054]

Oh yeah we had a big old Pontiac in the 70's. It was the car I learned how to drive - of course always speeding and going too fast! Great memories. Love this video and song!

[@MauiOG]

Just turned 40 and still longboarding. Awesome song Mat 👍🏽

[@hpntkz]

You're the man. Awesome song. One of my favorite artist of all time. Thank you for your music, Mat. God bless you and your family.

[@cierraclyde4316]

I can't wait for the new album.

[@jimmiyoseano9309]

Make it without 'T'

[@Jiri_yolo]

Good memories from Summer 2021. Me and my buddy driving down to a beach down in Kerry, Ireland. Windows wide open with soaring temperatures and this song on blast. Ah good times.

[@stephaniemassey5464]

Take me back to a time when back pain didn’t make me cry. Love the song.

[@chriswolfe5417]

Mat Kearney music never fails to put me in a better mood...if needed 🙂

[@walterremski]

Who could dislike this!?!?

[@veeebeee2700]

I've had this song on repeat since I discovered it. The piano reminds me of Bruce Hornsby. I love Matt's songwriting and voice. Beautiful video!

[@dickhead9214]

Good ear, Mat said this song was inspired by Bruce Hornsby

[@jctmanu]

Yes! Hornsby vibes for days. That’s probably why I love this song so much.

[@rgiaco777]

I totally noticed this and was about to comment the same thing! The piano riffs are very similar to The Way It Is

[@jakehamby2172]

Been listening to Mat and his music since his Nothing Left to Lose album, was actually the first CD I ever bought. Still remember getting it at Borders bookstore when I was 12. Mat, your music is fantastic. Keep doing what you do best, every song is a new download for me! This song is great, and the video as well. Thanks for continuing to make music I love to listen to

[@akop87]

That's cool you share that as seems like the point is nostalgia... Things everyone knows about that no longer exist like borders or Pontiac

[@1989opprsvp]

At 60yrs old now this song hit different. Live long enough you will understand this song. Always want to go back for awile.. please.

[@nan4bsb386]

Gorgeous scenery and as always a kick-ass song from Mat.

[@kellibechtel]

My husband had a GM Pontiac while we were dating, so this song really hits home. Also, fun fact, my husband and I first met in Lancaster PA at the chameleon club waiting in line to see you during your City of Black and White tour. We come and see you every time you're in town. Thanks for your music!!🎶🎶🎶

[@PhinallyWC08]

The Chameleon club! What a throwback - I haven’t been there in forever. Cool little venue

[@kellibechtel]

@@PhinallyWC08 It is such a fun venue. Sadly, they recently moved locations, so the original chameleon club is no more.

[@sealo290]

I've been waiting for weeks for a song to pull me back in and make me remember why I love music so much. Something catchy but meaningful, endearing but nostalgic. This is so very much it. Welcome back, Mat

[@andreaprinal1424]

I'm from Indonesia, yuor music ia cool 🇮🇩

[@kevinm3453]

I've played this song on loop for about 45 minutes today. Great song Matt. Loved the show in ATL too by the way.

[@jordanr8312]

It’s 2024 and this song still hits hard!

[@sandeepchoudhary8982]

Don't know exactly what....but your music always takes me to another world.........love u from India sir.....keep singing ❤️

[@jepc92003]

This song is really growing in me, I just played it on guitar and piano and love it

[@matthewappel5683]

Nice job with that tumble. If this music thing doesn’t work out, I see a promising career as a stunt double.

[@LorenHudziak]

Ooh... This is a solid track, Mat. Great one! I went through a rough patch in my life a few years back - your music really helped me through it. Can't thank you enough

[@monterobison]

Another great song from Mr. Kearney! Can't wait to see you live again - you're one of the best.

[@kyndrastafford3575]

New favorite song!! I can’t stop listening to it!

[@Louis_Rain]

Me too!

[@Louis_Rain]

Great song Mat. I can't tell you how many times I just replayed it. My favorite song of yours. Love it. Best new song I have heard in years!

[@muzikluvah72]

This is sooooooooooo good. I love when you give us the hip hop beat Mat Kearney tracks. Love this! Will be on repeat for days!

[@stp22]

I'm a fan of this talented artist, watching in NZ

[@dennisgjoka10]

Needs way more views. This song is such good vibes.

[@Michelle-mc5ky]

Sending so much love from Hawai’i ♥️

[@callmetz7967]

“you told your dad no, you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast. In your Pontiac” That lyric just changed the whole meaning of this song

[@jsdail]

The man can ride a bike, walk on water, golf and now skateboard...is there anything Mat Kearney can't do? So far every song on this album is solid.

[@dreyamandy247]

cute little dance moves! this feels like Oregon, when i lived there the guys always boarded down these mountain winding roads

[@sheahawes6444]

Looks like tons of places in Eastern/Central Oregon though usually the roads aren't that smooth.

[@SuburbiaScreen]

He keeps dishing out fire albums! I loved Crazytalk, and now I can't help loving this!!! You rock, Mat.

[@michaelkorda8140]

I never get tired if listening to this guy. I've seen him 4 times and ready for a 5th.

[@Jayppg-Files]

So hyped for January Flower!

[@orodrigocampos]

My favorite song from this album so far. I grew up with this artist!

[@tshepochiwala4628]

Damn I even love him even more, he just has amazing trucks

[@peekingundertheblindfold3300]

This hits. I never took risks. When I was 22, I fell roller skating and broke my arm in 3 places. I found out I have osteoporosis and "the bones of a 60-70 year old." The chance for risk was over. I'm 25. I hope my related health problems don't cut my life shorter. I also live near Pontiac, so hi fellow Michiganders

[@kasey6422]

This song makes me cry and idk y lol

[@justinrutter88]

This song is chill and bas ass. Been on repeat all day.

[@stephenischlinker7564]

Love the song and video, Mat. Pontiac is also a city in Michigan.

[@tkamn14]

really hittin' the nail on the head here (lyrically and melodically) l o v e

[@anhu92]

Yessss love this song!! Bring back the Young Love vibes!

[@thunderchimken_8547]

Give this song a billion of views....

[@pabloviana8633]

You're the greatest Mat! Don't stop making music pls, your voice, the rythm, its everything mate! Keep it upp (from Spain ES)

[@Holmanboyz]

This is a great soon to be summer song! Love it and the lyrics are reflecting my generation so well. Very well done ;)

[@dianafelmeten4392]

Beautiful, gorgeous music as always!

[@nyetboy930805]

I used to worry about nothing Said I'd never grow up in I fell in love and it was enough until it wasn't I used to dream that we could make it But now I'm working on a paycheck And the voice on the line says I'm doing fine Can you tell that I'm faking? And we watch our friends play the same old game When we all pretend that we're OK And we won't say Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25 'Cause in the city that you burned me, you played it back It gave me life, windows down Running 'round the south side of town On the flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac My Mama worried about my marriage But now I'm worried about my parents You could try to run from what runs in Your blood but you still gotta share it And we watch our friends play the same old game When we all pretend that we're OK We won't say Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25 'Cause in the city that you burned me, you played it back It gave me life, windows down Running 'round the south side of town On the flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac I used to worry 'bout real life Until I fell into your eyes I fell in love and it was enough to make me realise You take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25 'Cause in the city that you burned me, you played it back It gave me life, windows down Running 'round the south side of town On the flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac Maybe we went too Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac

[@sethrobin1358]

Why is he so underrated? Because he speaks TRUTH!

[@dianagomez2947]

I just love the way this song makes me feel. Thank you so much

[@denden5946]

i love the song its like about the time when we go back in old days.

[@davidzielinski6574]

Love it. One video is cycling, this one skateboarding

[@ethanedwards8257]

Haha one can only imagine what's next

[@reecebundy8004]

SO REJUVENATING OF A SONG! In absolute love with this song thank you thank you for this Mat!❤️

[@erich6446]

He’s a genius . Been listening to him for a long time all the way back to “Bullet” and his creativity is so good.

[@aaronvm8195]

I first heard mat on the radio the year undeniable came out. Can't even remember how many times I played it over and over. Found this and other hits just in the last couple of weeks, getting caught up on his music since the last time I KZbind him and found city of black and white tour. I agree with many, mat doesn't get near the recognition of great music like he should. But then again I don't think he's ever been on this journey for that purpose.

[@niketanatan]

From Sooner or Later to Pontiac. This is nice. Mat, good job. Best wishes for the family!

[@tbonedavidson8440]

U r tha man Matt🍻🤘🤙

[@ScottishDwarf]

I came here from his ig story. No regrets, this song made my day🙂 Have a good day everybody

[@littlebottherobot5991]

Glad to see more songs from you Mat! Love these new song as well as some old ones. Keep up the great work and can't wait to see the album

[@joseleal2993]

I became a fan the weird way because I saw an ad where this new album of yours that just came out and I clicked the linked and it took me to January Flower album on Apple Music.

[@SCOTHROBERTSON]

Mat you really should release a cd every month i mean it, i love every single work from you since i discovered your musics, keep on this way always , you rock man

[@Red_emp_tion]

One day from now, I will be an adult. I already have some of those "good old days" to look back on. I hope I keep having those forever.

[@converseconnoisseur7863]

Upbeat, feel good music. Classic mat kearney. 💯

[@dumbid]

I'm just here because I love downhill skateboarding but the song is getting better every time I listen to it

[@MissMomoLuv]

Welp, this is going in my summer playlist. Awesome song as always Mat!

[@nowba33]

I love your music.

[@nelant91]

Great great song, and a really good looking video. Thank you Mat. Cheers from Portugal!
