[@chpstcksmelonballs]

met him. hes amazing. and no matter how hard i try, i cant seem to forget about him

[@MrSalutations1]

Matt's voice has a completely different sound than any artist out there. It has feel, I've been obsessed with Cage The Elephant since the start, and I'm glad I'm still here listening/being a fan.

[@mula070]

YO u still alive

[@killamsetharoo]

CTE is the soundtrack to my life when I was going through a very long and rough separation and recovery and discovered he was also which made perfect sense. I love this band and remembered how I first discovered them and this song.

[@krileayn]

The simpler they play this song the better it gets. My absolute favorite song from CTE

[@goobles9832]

I freakin love matts voice !!! Definitely one of my favorite songs

[@Led4yourhead]

I could listen to this over and over for the rest of my life. And to think I grew up 45 minutes away from them :( I would kill to meet Matt.

[@BrandyDesha]

THEY'RE EVEN BETTER LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! i've seen them twice and both times i left the club feeling like i'd just been looked upon by god himself.

[@MrDorkins]

I am not ashamed to say that this song has brought tears to my eyes.

[@IorekB92]

OMG he performed this song when I saw them Monday night! Cage The Elephant was my first show ever! They popped my show cherry lol. Oh and Matt looks really cute with facial hair =D

[@vanyklaus8104]

He really does

[@kitsmith5317]

ah man this one hits hard.. I'm glad matt got through what parts of this song are about if not the whole thing because he helps so many people going through the same thing

[@ULTIMATEWE]

i recognized this song when the album came out LOVE IT!

[@Rickles]

Wow that was so powerful, but so simple. Breathtaking song.

[@Peachyparadigm]

these guys aren't just great music they are great Messengers, Bless them for sharing some True Soul for everyone, and blessed are all of you who hear and understand the depth of what they share. i honor the enigma involved within these simple songs and absolutely LOVE what they've been doing.

[@EATxDANCExPUKE]

This band is beyond perfection. I can't get enough... The moment I saw them live, I thought to myself "Now, THIS is legit." I hope they are around for a long, long time!

[@aych33]

happy the audio came in so clear through all the wind. so much more toughing than when it got turned into 'right before my eyes' on the studio album. The lighter version at the end of flow is even prettier than the studio version

[@puffsreviews]

im so proud i learned how to play this song in a day

[@Megamando93]

Funny how "RIght Before My Eyes/Shiver" and "Rubber Ball" were both written 3 years before TYHB

[@grimabsolssbm]

Jake Connelly Sabertooth tiger too

[@ROCKandloveROLL]

His voice is so crazy amazing. I totally love this guy

[@samkoz420]

this is one killer tune, love it

[@JosephHarlan19]

This song hits me so hard in the most emotional way. It's amazing how close to the core it gets and the way it settles you. It makes be feel so at peace. Such a powerful song.

[@loveangel1616]

matt, your amazing, i Love u so much. and ur music. ur lyrics, are so amazing. when i listen to you you make me realize that there's hope for us all, because someone actually realizes what going on and what we're doing. ur music makes me so happy, it's not even comprehendible how good i think u, and the rest of cage the elephant are.

[@plumstreetmusic]

You sing with heart. I'm looking forward to seeing/hearing more from you in the future.

[@theJuniordog1]

I love their music. I can't wait for their next album!!!

[@rcrdrvr1589]

Ouch. 2020 right here!

[@ReaveShot]

I love this song, it makes me think well my problems will fade in time

[@JosephHarlan19]

i got it now. he changes the order of the chords in parts of the song. great song.

[@aclegg10]

Biggest underrated song. If anyone that can see this can talk to Matt- tell him his friend misses him 🫶🏽

[@NiiinaMariiie]

this song version is my ringtone

[@dethklok1337]

this is beautiful

[@sonichedgebush]

this song's so sweet.

[@RH-xx7yp]

Gosh this is still the greatest shooting song ever!

[@sarge4826]

amazing! not many artists can sound that good in a completely acoustic environment like that today, too many of them rely on autotune and editing to cover up their mistakes but matt schultz is one of the few that sounds amazing on and off the record

[@skylars3934]

absolutely love him

[@juliahulia13]

It's published as "Right Before My Eyes" on their new album. But this acoustic version hangs into the end of their song "Flow". I saw him do it like this 2 days ago, amazing.

[@gortimustidditus]

I just bought their album, and I love every song on it. That's never happened, and I don't think it ever will after this, haha.

[@CaveYouCallAChest]

Cage The Elephant Are Awesome..!!

[@racheywest]

i love this song, like i really do. if i couls mary it, i would. words cant explain how much i love it. ♥

[@mariaterezinhaschimitt9912]

Amo todos os som deste jovem❤🇧🇷

[@txcambyism]

can't wait for the new cd!!! new song in less than a week!

[@jomelody216]

best new band hands down!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Kylenovak51]

My favorite thing about Matt, is that he doesnt have some inherent natural talent for singing, their bad sounds good purely through the passion of the music. He is a great singer and man do i love this band, keep it up

[@gratefulDead619]

beautiful

[@Shizgel]

I think I'm in love!

[@Mattzarkovich]

my favorite cage song!

[@finksinatra1575]

Soooo good.

[@paulpalacios561]

Best song ever

[@TheShyPieGuy]

i love music and i love cage the elephant.

[@PauFarias]

amazing!

[@shyraybear]

Beautiful.

[@PinkZeppelins73]

Awesome song.

[@THEgnarlmalone]

Thank you Big Nose Music! Someone got it right finally!

[@819199]

His voice is perfect even without editing...

[@finksinatra1575]

What a legend.

[@methodman3211]

His voice is perfect for there music

[@madmanswhispers]

amazing

[@devoncline3598]

This song was originally called Timber Me Shivers. This video came out before their Thank You Happy Birthday release.

[@anghlucas]

He's a charmer!

[@ManCrushOnJohnnyDepp]

effin amazing

[@JjackporterP]

beautiful :)

[@Swassinocturnal]

I like this song because Matt isn't trying to look eccentric. He has a gorgeous voice, but it gets ruined from when he's dancing / shaking. In this, he's just being natural, and that's what makes this song so...precious (?)

[@nicholsjoshua15]

@memaymew Both versions are on the album the "Right Before My Eyes (Electric)" and the "Right Before My Eyes (Acoustic)." "Right Before My Eyes (Acoustic)," is right after Flow, it's a hidden bonus track.

[@buffaloshultz4351]

There's a song on the second album, "Thank You, Happy Birthday," called Right Before My Eyes, and a song as the second half of Flow, the last song on that album, which is the same thing as Right Before My Eyes but acoustic, generally referred to as Shiver Me Timbers, the original name.

[@KieranDacey]

love this very much so

[@Lilipou41]

@TROJAN109 you can download it on itunes. you can either buy the song ''Right before my eyes'' or ''Flow'' (Timber me Shivers is a hidden track in that song)

[@Cricroable]

perfection

[@angiebuo287]

WHY DIF MATT HAVE A BEARD ING ITS SI WEIRD IM SCREAMING

[@tobazko5491]

Angie Buo ^^^

[@ClaraWoelkchen]

love it

[@rndbff123]

@RetreersTCG The Acoustic Version is timber me shivers and the regular version is right before my eyes! ((:

[@thatguy3139]

hahahah guy you made my day and i thank you for that.

[@LoverElephant97]

I think I am in love.

[@taylaaababee]

really awsome. :)

[@VulpinFoxyFinnland]

@xSt0nedxwaLrusx i think the acoustic one is called timber me shivers mainly because it was so popular that it got its own name and so it can be distinguished from the normal one

[@smurfnss]

Thats brillient :)

[@ScarryLarry5577]

@L33Tspartan .....he's alive and well in all of us.

[@ManCrushOnJohnnyDepp]

u haters can hate but that was just beautiful

[@sqarerootof2]

@dancepartyaesthetics thank you my friend, i was unaware of that

[@prestonsvids]

good song

[@bananazz325]

Damnn! last night after i fell asleep to this song, i had a dream that matt shultz was singing it.. and when i followed the sound of his voice i saw him and i was flippin out :D I was like YESS my life is now complete! ..then the guy was like "no im not matt shultz sorry" quite devastating :\ lol

[@ruri17]

Timber shakes, these trails they are derailed Phoney falls and thrill An empty ocean Lost our way with no direction Gold to knee these names we take in vain Find it harder to remain Nothing sacred Waiting on that explanation Right before my eyes Saw the whole world lose control The whole world lost control For my eyes

[@animegirl2245]

He is so cute... their music really moves me.

[@thespaceman48]

@DrkMths it says it right there.."matt from cage the elephan performs 'timeber me shivers' exclusively on MNE"

[@SaitoAOG]

Really good, as good as the stuff on their album.

[@UnderSomeOath]

Freakin amazing. Id love to see them alive. And I want this fuckin song!!! Its pissin me off I'm searching everywhere on the freakin web. I want it!!

[@thespaceman48]

@DrkMths it says the title underneath....timber me shivers...dope

[@AndTheMonster]

@RHCPFreaklolNEW I actually bought the new record on Vinyl and it came with this song on a 7", it a studio acoustic version its dirty! its titled as "shiver"

[@Poljacik2]

@Potatoes579 this is what that song started off as. But yes, Right Before My Eyes!

[@nyjeterss]

Saw these guys in STURGIS and damn were they fucking awesome and nuts, you mussttt see them if you can

[@aloraobryan5446]

If you buy the album on iTunes this version is on it. They added it to flow

[@charlielucas3265]

+alora O'Bryan It's not this exact version, bu it is very similar. I love it when bands add 'secret songs' to their albums!!

[@assdamn]

Timber shakes these trails, they all derail Phony false and frail An empty ocean Lost our way with no direction home Golden needles names we take in vain Find it harder to remain Nothin's sacred, waitin' on that explanation Right before my eyes I saw the whole world lose control The whole world lost control Before my eyes Uh-huh I fell through the floor I couldn't take it anymore I cant take this anymore It breaks my mind Uh-huh

[@elitedouche]
