I met you one day. In Baltimore, I was visiting a cousin and you were playing guitar with your friends(she was his roommate) , I heard this song while I was in the kitchen and I was hooked. Bro you have so much talent! Good luck in life. This song is a masterpiece. I showed my dad, He is about 70 years old,( a guitar player from the 70s) , lol he said you were born in the wrong era.

[@MattPless]

Thats wild homie. Crazy you remember that event so well. I appreciate ya commenting. Hopefully I'll see ya at a show down the road someday. Thanks so much for the kind words! Any idea who the girl was who was your cousins roommate??

[@themindofjonathan3686]

@@MattPless yea , anytime you have a show in NYC, im In! She was a hairstylist in Fells Point, I remember she was into art, her name was Amy I believe.

[@folkenbluzer]

Definitely one of my favorite of yours❤

[@RiskKishk]

Holy fucking shit Matt. This is a gorgeous video to accompany one of my all time favorite songs of yours. Great job!

[@MattPless]

Thanks (: thanks for watching. It really did capture the whole mood of the song. The director was amazing. And he was so young, I think hes got a big future ahead of him!

[@RealHomeRecording]

@@MattPless sweet!

something to watch while quarantined

[@mute8769]

My friend had an acoustic show at his house and you played. Best song of the night.

[@onemanprotest3098]

what was an art of a song has now became an art of film production. This video was beautiful.

[@thetransientone6254]

This is honestly one of my favorite songs. I must have listened to that "Fistful of Vinyl" performance of this about 9000 times by now.

[@MattPless]

So glad you dig it (: I wish I knew how to give it more views. I'm glad you found it and enjoy it though. Cheers!

[@thetransientone6254]

@@MattPless That's the biggest struggle with artists in this generation. 20 years ago, the secret was to just constantly be on tour. You genuinely have the talent, lyrical content that is both relatable and also moving, plus a sound that is definitely unique enough to stand out from your peers. The best thing I could think of would be to look into live streaming. Whether through KZbin or other platforms, it seems to be one of the most effective tools utilized by those wishing to share their art with more people. You'll get where you want to be, one way or another. I've got no doubt about that. I've made this way too long, telltale sign that I'm super jazzed over the fact you replied haha. Take care, and best of luck! You got this!

​@@MattPless well, for what its worth, i still wont shut up about it. That whole set was fire, I'm constantly puttin it on

[@jayp4303]

I consider this song a work of artistic genius. I'm building a public playlist of Acoustic Punk (Mostly), and so far out of 233 entries, Matt has 27 songs, including that version and this one. The Girl with the Neck Tattoo is another favorite of mine, and so catchy.

[@meistudiony]

Great working with you on this track, the video is pretty much spot on to what I pictured it would be. Glad that this is getting heard and seen! Great song!

[@williamepperson3443]

Yes!! My favorite Matt song!!

[@kadinherrington5977]

helllls yaa came to youtube for math videos got distracted.....

[@izzyfox7575]

It just occurred to me that this isn't really the crayon song, it's a song *about* the crayon song. I wonder what the actual crayon song sounds like... or if this is it (as in: the song the singer will sing tonight), then it is very meta. Love it either way and have for a while now.

[@niccades2844]

He is just talking about doing drugs xD

[@michaeldanielpaisleyhender399]

Like an anti-folk/folk-punk Tenacious D “Tribute” situation, eh?

[@PoisonAngelGirl]

I've mentioned it to you myself before Matt and I'll say it again. This song is fucking phenomenal

[@MattPless]

Thanks for lettin me know. I appreciate it alot (: cya at a show!!

[@PoisonAngelGirl]

@@MattPless absolutely. I'm planning on moving out of Oregon in the next few months. If you end up doing any shows in North Dakota let me know, it's my next destination 😌. Probably won't be able to go see any shows until after I move

[@jimlagrange2824]

I hope Kiley is well.

[@andrewkurtz737]

As amazing as this video is it's still overshadowed by my own memories of my loves and my life. I guess i've had my own video in my head from the first moment i heard this song. Another favorite for sure. Hope you never stop writing Matt!!!

[@ThePewPewLord]

this song is beautiful and the vid complements it so well! i rly hope you hit it big one day man, this shit needs to be more out there

[@RealHomeRecording]

Awesome concept to go with an awesome song! Great job to all those involved.

[@OpioidSlumber]

Matt, thank you again for playing this for me in Nashville.

[@bigb1809]

This video is so amazing. Like damn

[@janina.ate.the.microphone7179]

Anyone know his plucking pattern? I can’t find it anywhere but I‘d love to play this song.

[@anonymousanteater9732]

Hi Matt, I lurk around a few of the FB groups you post in, and the community loves to hear your new stuff, so thank you for posting for us to see. I'm Happy to be your one thousandth subscriber. I look forward to your performance online tomorrow. Thanks for so many songs that are enjoyable both for their melody & meaning. This is one of the songs I show people when they don't understand that the music I listen to is niche. Hope you are safe in this turbulent time.
