Most underrated Canadian artist of all time. Keep Rockin' Matt!

Text from my son, that saw him last night in Saint John. "Went and seen Matt Mays last night in the village. Gave me goosebumps; unbelievable show. I've heard a couple tunes never paid much attention. Big fan now; he was amazing. Came back for an encore; place was going crazy." Well done Mr Mats et al. You impressed, no doubt

[@georgewashington7444]

I live in Ohio across the Lake from CA of course. One early morning @2005? I heard this song coming from a CA radio station very broken with static but was able to stop and write a couple lines down, I spent the rest of the day online trying to find this song and finally did. This is one of my top 20 songs of all time. I play it on my guitar around the campfire (with credit to Matt) and it’s always a favorite Thanks Matt!

[@natb5423]

A song worth writing down!

[@vpreggie]

I love running across these songs arbitrarily that just knock you off your socks. I literally stopped everything I was doing to listen to this song over and over 12 times in a row.

Check out "Take it on faith"!

First heard this on CBC 3 back in 2005 when I was in my first year of university. Amazing how a song can bring you back to a specific time and place.

2023.. I'm sitting in my Mom's kitchen and she's jamming out to some pretty grungy rock. You came on - she's got great taste. Haven't heard this in years, but that one line gets me every time... I miss his guitar playing in my ear too. 🤍

Watched him play last night in Halifax. It was an excellent show

I love hanging out on the Ruasell Lake at the platform. It's nice to see it in your song. I've been a lifelong fan of the homegrown music 🎶 🎵

live right beside those lakes...run along them every day...overlooking Nanook right now....god i love this place

[@chriscalgary5441]

I love this song! I don't know why but it reminds me of driving in my grandfathers farm truck. We were driving through Grayburn Coulee in the Cypress Hills from Reesor Lake to Fort Walsh. It was fall, the forest was golden and the pine trees towered above the golden foilage. For some reason this song takes me back to that time in Southeast Alberta.

[@mathonia16]

[@spogs1560]

I just read your comment and all I can do Is smile and remember those days cruising all over southern Alberta. Thanks for that visual Chris

"I got a girl, she got lot's of style, you can see every tooth in her mouth when she smiles." My girlfriend many years ago. It breaks my heart and makes me happy at the same time. Thank you Matt Mays.

[@canadianfishinmusician]

I got the chance to work backline tech at the Budweiser's stage Toronto,Ont for the summer. Had the band sign my Custom painted Jimmy Hendrix Stratocaster Before the show as I couldn't say no to a brother in need of a few bubblies. Long story but Matt would remember me specifically by the joke he made about him being the only one to be wearing his T shirt on that stage. Keep on Rocking in the free world !!!!
