As a 3 time combat veteran, glad you made it through. Honestly therapy has helped me and I will keep getting combat Vets to please please talk to someone. Not family a Licensed Phycologist. Yes a shrink. It's helped me and many of my brother and sisters in ARMS. Thank you for your service Sir. God bless you and your family!!!

The best thing about this song (besides its general awesomeness).....is the breath we can hear him take before the first note.....

Indeed, I wonder how many people naturally notice it, with an impact.

[@brendenperry3770]

@@wayneerichenry290I never thought too much of it, my conductor in band would have everyone take a deep breath that was quick right before the piece would start, so if you know music and we’re talking a basic 4/4 measure, we’d do it on 4 and start at 1. Figured it was to keep time, that’s why my conductor did it.

We liked these songs as kids because they sounded good. But now we love them with the wisdom and knowledge of being an adult. The amount of times I have literally said to myself, 'i wish I could get myself to go away' but Rob's right, you can't get yourself to go away, and you are absolutely always there. These songs mean so much more to me as an adult now that I understand what they're actually about. I love you Rob, you're so beautiful

I can't get myself to go away either. Yes, you shouldn't feel that way. But I don't know how to get it back to good. It's best to keep that under my hat. In more ways than you could possibly know. That's why I have this cd. It is therapeutic. I've not really seen the significance of that statement until now. This song is a pacesetter in that regard, I always thought that it should be track 1, it is track 2. Track 1 (Real World) can serve as the preamble to track 2 if you take out the pre-solo bridge- Please don't change...... Rainmaker, superhero, head honcho don't match up as well. But that little piece fits right in

[@tonystamp9251]

Some of these songs are just as meaningful now as when they were first made, it's all about the mindset of the person listening.

It isn't just about how they make us feel, but how they can let us express ourselves. All our favorite songs are just ones we can relate to. You can tell a lot about someone just by having them tell you all their favorite songs. Listen to their songs and you will know who they are as people.

For some reason I have the lucky memory of remembering most of the songs that my parents played in the car when I was 4 and 5. This album came out and was played all over the radio around that time so some of the first songs I ever remembered hearing were songs from bands like MB20, Hootie, R.E.M., Alanis Morrisette. I think having such memories of loving that music so early has made me an old soul musically.

I never looked forward to having these issues. I did, and I didn't want them. When this album came around I was like YES, THIS IS HOW I FEEL! It was nice to hear it in words instead of jumbles in my head. I felt validated. It was cathartic. Never since have any such lyrics grounded me so. Bands come and go but Rob Thomas and MB20 still remain the best of the best.

I remember as a kid I got a call while I was with friends and found out my mom had overdosed and passed away while. I went with my brother and his stepmom to see family in another state and the entire ride there I listened to Matchbox 20. We stopped at one of those interstate stores and I bought a blanket to stay warm overnight. I can remember being curled up in the back seat, under the blanket listening to matchbox 20 and doing everything I could to not let anyone hear me crying. They've remained my most listened to and favorite band ever since. Part of me loves being able to find refuge in their music because no matter how much I listen to it it never is overplayed. The other part really wishes the rest of the world would wake up to mb20 and they had to cult following bands like rhcp has.

I’ve heard Rob talk about how this song wasn’t doing well when it was released as their first single, and that just baffles me. I’ve loved the shit out of it from the first time I heard it in 1995.

[@melissalawrence6397]

I’m sorry ‘bout the attitude I need to give when I’m with you, but no one else would take this shit from me. ❤️ it!

His name was Scott Griffin, he lived on the third floor of a block of flats on the Yew Tree estate. And those opening lyrics, of finding a note about his Mrs leaving him was as real as it gets. Never seen him smoke till that morning. We did our best to get him drunk that night and 'get off' with some random girls, but he ended up in the corner, head in his hands and crying. Long day and unable to get away from himself or that frame of mind. I always think of him with this song cos I was going through a Matchbox 20 phase.

“It’s been a loooong day, always. Ain’t that right?” Hell yeah that’s right. 🤘🏻❤️

God damn i miss the 90's dearly

[@dbcooper7477]

Great song! Woke up singing it this morning! Haven't heard it in years! Weird how your brain records things.....

[@eerslink5498]

Very weird indeed. 9 years after you, I did the exact same thing; woke up with it in my head. Specifically the sound of the drum kit. Well, anyway, I hope this finds you still waking occasionally with a great song playing in your head! Rock on!

[@martyhall9663]

I feel the exact same way I can't get myself to go away from me, it sucks sometimes but all of us that feel that it is Jesus Christ in us. We stuck in the same boat until we satisfy Father's will that none should perish. Or He says enough.

[@Fredcat123]

2019 anyone? This is one of my top faves by them. Nobody makes music like this anymore. Alternative 90s rock ruled!

[@stuartmckern3434]

Agree totally 😎

[@jeffp2x443]

Remember when they first came out? Blew me away back then. Still does so now. Thanks for sharing... December 2019, gonna be 2020 in half hour!

[@EnDependance123]

Another flawless album produced in the 90s alternative rock perfection

[@alvinfindorff6229]

I can still put this CD on and let it play. Whole album was good.

[@MrLex86]

"I'm so terrified of no-one else but me, I'm here all the time, I won't go away..." Too many times have I felt this way

[@makenzietrooien1147]

Time to gas up & oil the time machine! Where have all of these years went and where has good music disappeared off to?

[@RedSpider42]

+Makenzie Trooien At least we still got Rob Thomas, he always brings great music! His new album is awesome

[@makenzietrooien1147]

+dan graham Very important point! I love his new album! If only there were more artists who followed in the footsteps of Rob than those of Justin Bieber, music would be much better overall...

[@RedSpider42]

Or those of Miley, for that matter. *shudders* The ONLY reason she's as famous as she is, is cause she gets naked on camera. Her music really isn't all that good.

[@Justin_Time1985]

I feel the same way

[@tessgray678]

dan graham also because of her father billy ray Cyrus

[@jessicamcgeorge1916]

Was sexually assaulted years ago and this song reached out to me. Needed to hear these guys. Great group! Still listen to Rob Thomas's songs. Diamonds is one of my favorites

This song and video is like a super blast of 90's to the face... and I love every second of it

[@crystallynn7071]

Loved this song when it first came out and I was 13...... now I'm 33 and it means so much more.

[@GypsyStar222]

Loved this since the 1st time .. N years passed..but i was always trying to remember whatthe name was.. years later it just popped in my head n ive been playing it constantly ever since

[@joelowry7901]

Same

[@ArchieWard]

This song is devoted to who else, but that special person who is the only one that would take that shit from you.

[@darcihall4922]

Still listening to old matchbox 20. 21 yrs old and will forever be obsessed

[@Goughdrop34]

I think what we need right now is to pull a little hope out for the world and the 95% percent of us that want to change the future.

[@luckylisahammond899]

I don't know what i would do without these boys in my life.

[@austingrace1]

This song is legendary here in Orlando to us 90s kids!!!! 101.1 WJRR was the radio station to break this song and I heard them do it when I was 8 years old. Also Robb is a true class act. He autographed the insert to my CD copy I got of this album in 97 and he even pushed down on the paper when he signed it so I could feel the writing. I'll never stop listening to Robb Thomas and Matchbox 20!!!! Thank you Robb for making a 9 year old's Christmas in 97.

[@Ciridan]

still have the cd in my truck, still rips. WJRR also The Crow(WKRO? I cant remember) in orlando use to play some killer tunes until they closed up shop

[@JoshDisher]

It's 2019 and I still can't get myself to go away...
