2024, who’s still here and goes back to this classic?

[@alxmrjr288]

I used to sing this song with my best friend after a night of drinking all the time. He passed away 2 years ago and I still can't get over his death. RIP Robert Amaya

[@mikequinn900]

Sorry for your loss brother, stay strong 🙏

[@terriandrews5651]

So sorry to learn of your loss- I have suffered so much loss over the years it’s crazy. I’m going back to grief counseling-COVID-19 got things off track. I would suggest looking for support. Hang in there, friend!!

[@susiesmith1290]

Oh, Alex. I'm so sorry! May Robert rest peacefully and may you find peace. You'll love him forever. He'd want you to find love ...if that someone sings this song with you.... That's your precious friend helping 💕

[@moeruss2726]

I feel for you. I lost my best friend of 28 years a few months ago and I can’t really believe that I’ll never see or talk to her again. I still talk to her but it hurts so much I can hardly bare it.😢

[@joeyyalexander92]

RIP Robert ❤

[@pranavchaware]

Those trumpets are the unsung heroes of this song !!

[@harryhyttoppe1190]

Also the rhythm section - that bass is right in the pocket. Kudos as well to the audio engineer-an excellent live mix.

[@harryhyttoppe1190]

@Kent Dias I wholeheartedly agree- they add that degree of depth and colour that you couldn't achieve with a synth and really embellish the song.

[@harryhyttoppe1190]

A few years back they were on a bbc tv show called Live From Abbey Road - well worth a look if you can track it down .

[@frankmcnamara8743]

makes the song

[@Dahlia10]

The music arrangement is a amazing 🤩

[@karlcadorna]

Who listens to this song regardless of the year we’re in?

[@barbaratardy9788]

The trumpets bring a spiritual depth , a dawning of the creation. Very powerful!

[@screamingtrees9619]

My dad used to play this song for me and my little brother when he was struggling. Thank you dad for always being there for us no matter how hard life was for you ❤

[@Sg4809]

Man, you can really see how much Rob feels his music EVERY time he sings and that is what I think about everytime I hear one of his songs, watching him helps me get out my own emotions for the song if anyone understands what I'm saying....

[@amelstv6618]

These guys needs to be a NFL Superbowl halftime show

[@laurenlong1883]

Yes

[@ginarichards6307]

My husband passed away in 2019. This is the first time I've been able to listen to it. I think maybe I should have waited. Lol. Such a tearjerker! It brings such a different connotation when your other half is truly gone.

[@bobharper6949]

Hugs for that.. It's crazy how songs differ.

[@erwinbarrientos3556]

I've listened to this song for 2 straight weeks when my partner was about to break up with me. Fortunately, we worked things out and we're still together, and now we're having out first baby. This got me through those rough times when I was sad and down. But the line "I think we should try" worked out for me and I thank God for it. Thank you Rob for your music that helped me through my roughest time.

[@lalinthegreat626]

Congrats brother!

[@erwinbarrientos3556]

@@lalinthegreat626 thanks man. My angel is now 1 and a half old. If not because of this song, I would've given up on my partner. We could've not had our little angel.

[@sixty-nine3574]

I bet someone else knocked her up and didn’t want it

[@stephenhough4957]

I think that’s exactly how Rob explains the writing process to the song. He and his now wife had split up for a short period. Such heartfelt lyrics and glad it’s struck a chord in your life, that’s what the best songwriters do!

[@doddy_bj_miko]

The most underrated part of this great song is the bass line ... Awesome n comforting ...

[@NowImDancing30]

yes exactly but now when they sing it , it doesn't include the bugle horn

[@freddyt55555]

@@NowImDancing30 Flugelhorn

[@binodyumnam2562]

Yup

[@Knwbuddy]

The bass is a weapon, most people don't realize since it isn't always front and centre. Like a stealth.

This song is a masterpiece.

I'm here daily. MB20 is Timeless

[@lauraklinglesmith4894]

I have always loved the lyrics of this song. Probably my favorite MB20 song. Still love it today as much as the first time I ever heard it. I love Rob's voice. He just makes you feel every syllable of every word.

[@jamesbryce9385]

He wrote it for his then Puerto Rican college educated girlfriend. He thought that she would leave him because he was a musician......but she stayed and became is wife!

[@Jade-gu5mm]

@@jamesbryce9385That is such a nice story. Good for them.

[@shawndagould6557]

That's is the truth That guys voice makes you want to hear it over and over. He is a very talented guy.

[@frankosullivan1331]

This song is about Rob's now wife marisol. When they were dating marisol didn't want to stay with him because he was a rock star and felt that the life of a rock star was probably not Inducive to having a good solid marriage. So this song was Rob's response to her and the way that she felt.

[@CajunGal84]

I can't explain how much this band has been with me through my best memories and helped me through tough days! Thank you all for making me smile every time I hear a song of yours! 🥰

[@boyishmistakes]

His voice is so calming! Such a good way to start a morning 😂😂

[@Cindy-1965]

Adrian Johnson I agree

[@Jade-gu5mm]

Yes

[@karlcadorna]

The horn section! ♥️👍🏻

[@robine9299]

Rob seriously has the best voice, and he still puts so much emotion into all he sings. ❤

[@daisylanter3504]

Very few artists can sound like the album versions of their songs. Matchbox 20 has done just that!

[@rbworleywrites]

No. Rob is one of a rare breed who sound better live than on cd.

[@Cindy-1965]

Brings me back to when I was seperated from my now ex-husband..... :( but now 17 years later I can listen to this and not cry

[@jesseforrest416]

Same situation back in 2006 going through a divorce with my now ex wife. Great song.

[@NowImDancing30]

that is like me with U2 with or without you

[@ericsonsolidum5877]

Have you heard Michael Anthony of VH?

[@kontroladomusic]

Try to listen Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains.

[@luisdiego8819]

Just like Ray Toro and Frank Iero from My Chemical Romance or should I say, this is classic MB20.

[@lasktdave]

I agree. They put the right accent on his words to give them more power.

[@BigAL_9_9]

what about John Frusciante?

[@kimberlybarber5915]

My boy Rob Thomas, He sings this one the best.

I know it's wrong, it's a problem I'm dealing If you're gone, maybe it's time to come home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone Hell baby, you need to come home, come home There's a little bit of something me In everything in you (you) (Something in me) (Everything in you) (Something in me) In you
