Roger Dean did the album’s title lettering and this video uses stock footage from 2001 A Space Odyssey. Matthew’s influences were great. He did a lot of Neil Young covers around this time on his EPs.
1997 is the year that music started to go downhill fast, but this was one of the good ones. Heard it on the radio every day back in April/May of that year and it always got me singing out loud.
It is such horseshit to say that music has gotten worse. There are literally thousands of musicians still making amazing music and there will be until the end of this species...in a few years.
Haven't heard this song in so long! Had all but forgotten it. Matthew Sweet, you're a unique individual and I appreciate you giving us this classic, among many others! Always funny how music associated nostalgia can bring you down roads long forgotten.
Who gives this brilliance a thumbs down? I figure maybe somebody who had this as "their song" with somebody who broke their heart later? God, it is fun and infectious.
Power pop was at its best in the 90s imo. Matthew Sweet, Jellyfish, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, all before power pop production became overly compressed and pop punky in the 2000s
I still think I like Superdeformed and Girlfriend more, as his best guitar tunes, but I consider this one of his best, if not his best, guitar & keyboard tunes. I mean, I just put it on today - still sounds great...
Bought this album at the base exhange Elmendorf AFB when it released, still listening still advising others do as well, first time i have ever seen this video! Love it!
i don't know why people are all gaga for such garbage as ed sheeran when he can't write a song w/o ripping off everyone while matthew sweet has more talent in his pinky toe than sheeran could ever have. sweet just has a knack for creating great songs.
Love this album. I saw Mathew a few years ago at a 300-seat venue in Annapolis.100% fun! 😮
People say "Girlfriend" is his best, but for me, it's this one... one of the best power-pop songs ever written.
I say Time Capsule and Sick of Myself.
You both just named my top four. :)
"We're The Same" should be on that list too.
This was always my favorite, too
Agree. This smokes 'Girlfriend'.
Do you guys remember when you'd watch Mtv to get informed about the cool new artists and all the creative music being made? It was such a great time.
I confess I took it all for granted. The Real World, and Road Rules were the beginnings of the end as far as I'm concerned.
Matthew Sweet the first space tourist to sing on the moon. Great song
Space Cowboy by Steve Miller was the first
amazing that this only has 48k views. one of the most underrated songs of all time for sure.
The problem is everyone hears "the dream Police".....its a fair cop...
I always loved this song and video. Now 80,000.
100K!
And the latest shit from Beyoncé or JZ will get 100 million
The best song The Cars never did! But it's all Matthew of course.
You're getting your kicks right at the source, your taking the guidence from the force.... CLASSIC LINE!
One of the best tracks from the 90s
This is his best tune ever. I love this guy. The simplicity, the perfection. Every note means something. Can't really get this anymore.
I agree This guy could not put out a bad song. I wish superdeformed got more attention.
Classic. Matt Sweet had some really catchy tunes! Miss this kind of music.
My favorite Matthew Sweet song......rocks from start to finish
Matthew Sweet definitely owns Power Pop!
Matthew Sweet was the first Blink 182

"guidance from the force"
Every time I listen to this, I get an itch to learn the bass guitar.
Exfuckingactly
MAN!!! This brings me back to 1997 so much. Wow!! I remember this very well. Love it.
One of the greatest pop songs ever. Sweet is THEE most underrated singer songwriter in rock.
1997 is the year that music started to go downhill fast, but this was one of the good ones. Heard it on the radio every day back in April/May of that year and it always got me singing out loud.
actually there's a lot of good music still being made,

no.

I was 6 then thats about when everything started to go to shit
My dad introduced me to the movie "Woodstock", or at least his blueray collection did, anyways " Matthew Sweet" You should have been at Woodstock!
His best song by far. Goddamn that riff!!
Forgot how good he is
Wow, nice quality!!
Totally. Older music videos on youtube usually look terrible.
Who gives this brilliance a thumbs down? I figure maybe somebody who had this as "their song" with somebody who broke their heart later? God, it is fun and infectious.
Matthew Sweet perfected the Power Pop sound in the 90's, this is a good example.
Love this song, Evangeline is one of my favorites
Amazing pop. Good for what ails ye.
Dis my favorite MS song of all time. Can’t beat it.
I often refer to Matthew Sweet as Mr. 90's
By being positively charged 😊 I love All

Why would anyone give this thumbs down??
Love the song and album but this video gives me vertigo.

By forgiving. I love All
Cool tune.
Found this record still in the shrink 9.58. It's 2021.
Wow, hearing this song is an instant flashback to grade 9.
Holy shit I totally forgot about this one
I wish during the line "guidance from the Force" he had appeared in Jedi robes.
70's power pop goodness written in the 90's.
favorite album
Your favorite album?
+William Banks yes it is!!
Power pop was at its best in the 90s imo. Matthew Sweet, Jellyfish, Weezer, Fountains of Wayne, all before power pop production became overly compressed and pop punky in the 2000s
MOON the movie
movie theaters in the 90's
I still think I like Superdeformed and Girlfriend more, as his best guitar tunes, but I consider this one of his best, if not his best, guitar & keyboard tunes. I mean, I just put it on today - still sounds great...
That hair dryer. Lol

マイフェイバリットソング
Man what happened to this fuckin dude. What a talent!
What happened to him? He was fucking awesome
Love some things from MS, but much too often he landed out monotone knuckle drag. Girlfriend was his best album then 100 percent fun. That's it
Mtv
I never noticed the surface of whatever they have landed on looks like a pizza.
Bought this album at the base exhange Elmendorf AFB when it released, still listening still advising others do as well, first time i have ever seen this video! Love it!
❣️❤️♥️💚💚💛💛💜💘💙💘💙CO's d-train 2000
his best song by far
emojis have changed ~ but we ALL love this!! 👍🏻🧡💙
What album is this on and what number is this song on the album?
Blue Sky On Mars, track 3.
Does Power Pop get better than this? Nope.
this song has like 4 chords so basic and goes an octave higher torwards the end. thats the song. the keyboards only 4 notes.
And now we get autotuned garbage and practically nothing else.
i don't know why people are all gaga for such garbage as ed sheeran when he can't write a song w/o ripping off everyone while matthew sweet has more talent in his pinky toe than sheeran could ever have. sweet just has a knack for creating great songs.
