I don't know about anyone else, but Matt Corby transcends fucking everything to me.

[@AdamReale]

Perfect way to put it and he’s just levels better live

[@sophiem8451]

"000, wheres your emergency?" "my heart..."

[@user-pp7hz8vk6i]

"how do ya get a note outta this thing?!" lmao i love matt

[@hysteriaw3094]

His voice is a treatment for a tiered soul

[@lachieb444]

I feel like the true prophetically deep messages in his lyrics go over most people’s heads because his voice is just so overwhelmingly incredible! But seriously, “Someone's trying to shame us Making it contagious The blueprints of salvation from idle corporations The empires attractions are getting no reactions And gives no satisfaction Something's got to shape us Boredom's going to shape us Something's got to shake us out of this insaneness How can they save you if they can't help themselves?” This man is the GOAT

[@TheMNicole]

Each time that I find a Matt's video, I know that is something incredible coming. Each time that he sings, it's unique. That's why I have a lot of versions of the same songs in my god damn phone! I wish I could see him live on stage! ❤❤

[@Polde91]

I saw Matt play live at the Maroochy Music and Visual Arts Festival last Saturday..... Blew my mind with that beautiful voice! Would love to see him at another show 😍👌🏻

[@emilyawood]

This is the video that introduced me to him and it was all over from there

[@Scholesy92]

This was so chill I almost dozed off, missed the flute and had to rewind to re-watch and re-listen..... bloody awesome.....

[@tomazozimic3931]

There'g greatness of soul in his voice. Spectacular! One-of-a-kind. Love, love, love it. Play/repeat/play/repeat...

[@noragarcia9045]

I usually don't like the flute...i changed my mind... This dude is just...upon everything !! It's been a long time i'm listening to his music, i've never been disappointed ! You made my day, Matt.

[@rbrn9]

Matt produces some pretty dank faces when he sings.

[@bbkbrad]

Dank Nowitzki good memes

[@rubymilne6651]

best thing about watching him perform

[@fredettaboutit]

Shut your dank a ss up

[@lukedorrington9712]

Matt sings with such soul and passion it sounds as if he wrote the lyrics.He is seriously brilliant.

[@pTheIGuyq]

That's because he wrote them :p

[@Podgurje123]

What a vocal! And the interpretation! Fantastic! Well done, guys!

[@felfel3623]

That was wonderful... I truly cannot believe I've passed by this artist without paying him any attention... He is one talented guy.

[@grantbuildworks]

this led to a very smoooooth friday morning for me

[@delishbrown]

Damn! Damn! Damn! Caught him last Spring and this handsome Aussie has got the chops! Boy can sang!

[@honeylishuss]

So many chops!

[@fragfart]

Heard this this morning at work first thing... what a way to start a day.

[@daniweaver2706]

[@harrisoncollin7437]

Holy shit!! I love it!

[@maxphillips5799]

Me too!

[@mattisland]

This was dope

[@ichrisful]

I got teased in primary school for playing the flute cause it was classified as a girl instrument. How the hell does corby make it look cool.

[@zacmeagher7791]

UUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM is your name matt corby????? NNNoooooooo>>>>>>>>>>>

[@ichrisful]

chill zac.

[@zacmeagher7791]

soz was trying to come up with an edgy response

[@dng4679]

you got teased coz you were a bitch boy who didn't stand up for himself.

[@hardt9680]

Because Matt Corby is a descendant of Chuck Norris (confirmed)

[@notacooldudewithanattitude2731]

What a groovy tune. I dont comment a lot but this is just over the top, high level groove.

[@ZhaunWoodardMusic]

Amazing performance, so upset this didn't transition into A Change is Gonna Come!

[@ianmitchell5169]

I've seen him do that three separate times and every time it added five years to my lifespan.

[@sergiumaier27]

For several weeks i listen to this song, over and over on repeat. Cant say anything...

[@marmusicgen9426]

Insane. I can't even put it in words

[@noellaclarke9283]

I can't get enough of this bundle of joy😊😊

[@jacjacjacqui3843]

The master does it again - got nothing but love for this gorgeous man!

[@ashanath9487]

......no words, can't move. 😍

[@marigoldinblue8386]

I keep coming back to this, what a beautiful song! And the flute sounds amazing.

[@michellehalevi2089]

Love him so much it hurts

[@MissUnderstoodOfficial]

No one's going to save us Superman please save us No one's going to save us No one's going to save us Superman please save us Hollywood creators, they're the one who take us Someone's trying to trade us And we are all in danger We're made up in the paper Everybody knows that Everybody knows that No one's going to save you Prince is going to save you Wu-tang might just save you Rock n roll won't stage us The banks are going to frame us We must be courageous We are going to save us Your mama's going to save us How can they save you if they can't help themselves? Someone's trying to shame us Making it contagious The blueprints of salvation from idle corporations The empires attractions are getting no reactions And gives no satisfaction Something's got to shape us Borefom's going to shape us Something's got to shake us out of this and save us How can they save you if they can't help themselves? How can they save you if they can't help themselves? How can they save you if they can't help themselves? How can they save you if they can't help themselves?

[@MyUniqueHandle.]

if anyone wants to know on why he wrote it: interview with Matt Corby, he revealed the insightful notion behind the lyrics. "It's not super poetic. No one is going to save you. Superman is not a real concept. There's no such thing. The whole idea that we as a people need that kind of savior is f--ked up. If we all can figure out how to work together then we are the embodiment of salvation for our entire planet. We have the capabilities of it. That's the gist of it." "Pretty big with the lyrics, I know," he continued. "You can write a song about a girl or you can write a song about walking down the shops, and it's fine. I just try and do something as meaningful as I can without trying to be a pretentious loser because it's genuinely just how I see things."

[@gabrielrobles8426]

Banksy is going to frame us*

[@ntokozo-mbalimabaso221]

"Wu tang might just save ya!!!" Yes!!!

[@CarmelFa]

Goosebumps!!

[@Nunes123321]

[@tskip3562]

When all this bullshit is over...I needa see him live again. I also hope he does more appearances like this in future. It's so much better without the stage and screaming audience.

[@robincockayne7751]

Absolutely unbelievable. Musically brilliant

[@rubymilne6651]

There's a guy from New Zealand, his artist name is Max Gunn. You both sirs, make this kind of spectacular music...I would recommend for sure and high to create something together. Bless!

[@simonebc23]

that flute though..

[@hilmyardhi]

Damn 😢😍

[@brettannlalli]

It can be easy to get distracted by how punishingly sexy Matty is and not notice how technically flawless his vocals are. To be able to sing that emotively with perfect technical execution is THE DREAM for any vocalist. PS ily

[@nerdygameinggurl]

I was playing all these videos in the background when i first heard the start i thought its cry me a river lol.

[@FreeLife116]

somehow every live performance of this song are better than album version. i wish they release live version you can actually feel way more passion & pain in live version.

[@Brodzzzzz]

whoa.

[@mayrag1776]

[@pierreisthebest]

3:43 is my favourite moment- he is a very refined talent

[@willsobral7913]

what did he said???? i don't understand cause i don't speak English, but it's beautiful!!

[@pierreisthebest]

No idea hahaha I looked up the lyrics, but it seems to be an added section?

[@PeeNoYaKo]

"I said I wanna... I wanna, so... I wanna tell a friend" He refers to the esoteric nature of his own song, expressing his desire to spread his message.

[@patrickcarey9627]

Matt Corby is Jesus older cooler brother

[@BLVCK-VINCI]

Jesus younger cooler brother 😂😂

[@Sabina-bf5pw]

I think I just fell in love. Real hard. WTF.
