You should see him live. He’s insane. He knows what he came from. The whole band does. I’ve seen them several times and they have never been the same each show. Only artist as personally passionate as him (that I have seen) is Garth. They put everything they have into every show
Funny you say that.... some artists get annoyed when fans ask them to sing the song that made their career take off and filled their back account .... Be like winning millions in the lottery, walking past the framed ticket on the wall and saying “stupid lottery ticket” 🤣🤣🤣 This bloke can sing this all day everyday and I’ll never tire of it
Here we are in 2024 I’m 41 and a special person through my work that I called and about business with my work told me about this because my mom is going through a tough time medically - I haven’t even listed to this video yet but I know it’s gonna hit hard
IF AN ARTIST CAN DO AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF ANY OF THEIR SONGS..... 100% OF THE TIME ,IT'S BETTER THAN THE STUDIO VERSION...... OUTSTANDING YOU MAN.!!!!!
One of the first songs that truly helped me through a lot of hard times. Love every song he ever sang but back then this one did it for me. He puts his heart & soul in all his songs, such a great singer and songwriter with beautiful lyrics. Always #1 in my heart & still going strong today as great as the 90’s, I swear he only gets better with age ! 🎶❤️🎶
@@dickfitswell3437 yeah that blew my mind when I found that out only in the last few months and I have listened to the normal version hundreds, if not thousands of times. I am afraid to find out anymore of his meanings behind his songs cause that was so sad.
This BAND....and Rob's voice....as a listener and fan, everything aligned on that entire album with the music, lyrics and vocals....nothing else like it...
This CD was in a listening station at tower records. I was into rap and metal and the guy on the front of the cd looked goofy but it was 6.99. I brought it home and played it for my roommate and he was like “oh these guys are going to be big. It was maybe 6-8 months later and they were on mtv and every radio station lol.
Rob Thomas is my all time favorite, most talented, inspiring, beautiful, loving and caring real man in the world!!!If he only knew how much he has helped me with my heartache and I can't thank him enough love u bunches xo xo xo
Your guitarist is wonderful, amazing talent.....so far away.....iowa. where is Iowa you say? Yup in the middle of the USA.......Hearts, love the guy with the guitar
For years i didnt know what this song was about and still loved it.. when i learned the meaning it was even better.. rob thomas is legendary and one of the best live performers ever
Well that was very emotional.. He put everything he had into that!.. I dont usually like sappy love songs or sad story type songs.. But I must admit I enjoyed this.. It was calming/ nice & beautiful.. I couldn't help but play it til the end.. Well done
🥀Beautiful Amazing Song! I've always loved this song it stood out to me because it was my song I felt like I lived it like he did about his Mama I lost my Dad to cancer in 91..God Bless you Rob Thomas🥀☝️🥀
That is a left handed guitar strung with the high E at the top..so the strings are actually reversed to where they should be. You will notice the strike guard is where it should be where his left hand is strumming.
@@swankylaxer Actually, it looks as though it’s a left-handed guitar, but strung for right hand playing. Most left-handed players play with the low E on top, just like righties. This guy is a bird of rare plumage, and he sounds great.
Ok Rob is amazing…let’s just set that aside for a second. Is no one going to talk about his guitarist playing the guitar upside down?! I’m sure he’s left handed but those strings are on wrong…and it sounds amazing!
She said, "It's cold outside, " and she hands me my raincoat She's always worried about things like that Well, she said, "It's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault" And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams, and her voice is straining She says, "Baby, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely" And she says, "Baby, well, I can't help But be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it" Well, she's got a little bit of something, God, it's better than nothing And in her color portrait world, she believes that she's got it all She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to And she only sleeps when it's raining And she screams (screams) and her voice is straining She says, "Baby, well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely" Well, heaven she says, "Baby, yeah, well, I can't help But be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this" Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway But outside, it's stopped raining She says, "Baby, well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely" Heaven, she says, "Baby, yeah, well, I can't help But be scared of it all sometimes And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this" Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely (I must be lonely) Well, heaven, she says, "Baby, well, I can't help But be scared of it all sometimes"

Rob Thomas is severely underrated.
That’s what makes him that much more awesome to those of us that don’t.
Very true
Chance of severe weather is 100%
underrated?! not even close.

Stop using underrated to describe ANYONE!!!
He's singing about his Mom. Gives me chills.
@INXS1985 when he was about 13 or 14 his mom had cancer. He wrote this song about that time in his life.
How many times would Rob have sung this song? He still gives it everything. Much respect.
You should see him live. He’s insane. He knows what he came from. The whole band does. I’ve seen them several times and they have never been the same each show. Only artist as personally passionate as him (that I have seen) is Garth. They put everything they have into every show
@@vette73 Garth who? 🙏
Funny you say that.... some artists get annoyed when fans ask them to sing the song that made their career take off and filled their back account ....
Be like winning millions in the lottery, walking past the framed ticket on the wall and saying “stupid lottery ticket” 🤣🤣🤣
This bloke can sing this all day everyday and I’ll never tire of it
Garth need to tell us where the body's are!!! Rob would never
Is that you, Edwin McCain?
Don’t care what anyone’s says this version is far better then the pop version. ❤
You need to listen to his piano solo version. It'll bring you to tears my friend.

I love Rob , I’m always listening to his songs , since I was 21 and now I’m 40
Here we are in 2024 I’m 41 and a special person through my work that I called and about business with my work told me about this because my mom is going through a tough time medically - I haven’t even listed to this video yet but I know it’s gonna hit hard
This guy wrote some beautiful songs, as I get older I respect and appreciate him all that much more
Dude doesn't age! I remember watching the video of this on VH1 countdown every stinking afternoon of 1998. Got a haircut but that's it. Good for him.
This guy has serious vocal/song writing skills,
A classic American song that defined the late nineties.
IF AN ARTIST CAN DO AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF ANY OF THEIR SONGS..... 100% OF THE TIME ,IT'S BETTER THAN THE STUDIO VERSION...... OUTSTANDING YOU MAN.!!!!!
Matchbox 20 was the first CD i ever had..Everytime i hear this song waves of memories come crashing in
100%
My first tape
Me too brother
Not my first CD butt my 1st 'fan club' I joined.
3am playing faithfully nightly...🧑🦳🏩🙏🙏🙏
This is the best rendition of this song I’ve ever heard. It’s much more complex here, more soulful.
Man, that song seems to still hit Rob as emotionally as the rest of us.
What a song, incredible.
Year 2121 and we’re still listening to this friggin legend !!! Absolute voice of a god !
One of my few favorite vocalists. He just seems so relaxed and comfortable.
I agree. There's something different in his voice...better I think when unplugged.
His guitarist is just amazing… beautifully crafted fills… complimented the vocal, just magic
I noticed too playing left handed upside down
Matt Beck is the guitarists name
One of the first songs that truly helped me through a lot of hard times. Love every song he ever sang but back then this one did it for me. He puts his heart & soul in all his songs, such a great singer and songwriter with beautiful lyrics. Always #1 in my heart & still going strong today as great as the 90’s, I swear he only gets better with age ! 🎶❤️🎶
Can’t agree more ! This is gold for sure!
Always loved this song but this version is now my favorite.
A rare good acoustic song. I was expecting to be disappointed. This was quite pleasant to listen to.
When you find out its about his mom having cancer youll like it a hundred times more. Especially acoustic.
@@dickfitswell3437 yeah that blew my mind when I found that out only in the last few months and I have listened to the normal version hundreds, if not thousands of times. I am afraid to find out anymore of his meanings behind his songs cause that was so sad.
This BAND....and Rob's voice....as a listener and fan, everything aligned on that entire album with the music, lyrics and vocals....nothing else like it...
I had chills listening to this on the radio today. What an amazing musician
The fact that this song is written about his mom when he was 12/13 when she was going through cancer is difficult to not be emotional.
Brilliant version of a brilliant song! Everything sounds better when it’s acoustic...
This CD was in a listening station at tower records. I was into rap and metal and the guy on the front of the cd looked goofy but it was 6.99. I brought it home and played it for my roommate and he was like “oh these guys are going to be big. It was maybe 6-8 months later and they were on mtv and every radio station lol.
..each time he sings...its like hearing it for the first time..aways special, always from the heart.💝❤❤
🥀WOW This is one of the best I've heard Rob Thomas singing this song it's so beautiful and I could feel his pain of the loss of his Mother🥀☝️🥀🕊🥀
@@denisehedden13 made the best song about how rough it was to go through, unbelievable Rob Thomas.
I will never tire of this song.
God I love him.
Rob Thomas is my all time favorite, most talented, inspiring, beautiful, loving and caring real man in the world!!!If he only knew how much he has helped me with my heartache and I can't thank him enough love u bunches xo xo xo
Nobody compares to Rob
That little guitar riff before/during the chorus reminds me so much of Bob Marley's "No Woman No Cry"... It can't be a coincidence.
Rowena Hover Because it’s the same 3 chords for both songs, not hard to figure out....
Your guitarist is wonderful, amazing talent.....so far away.....iowa. where is Iowa you say? Yup in the middle of the USA.......Hearts, love the guy with the guitar
Great song. Great vocals. Freakin sweet guitar 👍
This needs more love. He's a good solid dude
For years i didnt know what this song was about and still loved it.. when i learned the meaning it was even better.. rob thomas is legendary and one of the best live performers ever
One of my all time favourite songs! Great version!
I love how syllabic the hooks are yet they work so well with Rob's blues voice.
Their Bright Lights live rendition is my favorite musical performance ever!
Miss all the great times love you for ever RIP loved ones 😥 🌹 💔
Rob is amazingly talented. I love listening to him play and sing
Perfect...all day.
I still listen to this song late at night 😊
Here's a true musician/singer/composer!
The hitting of the notes! Well impressed.
I love this song and his music is therapy to a good feeling...
BEEN listening to this for years...... Mick solo ... Wow I thought it was 21 !!!!!
Beautiful music, heartfelt writing and the singing... powerful emotions
Well that was very emotional.. He put everything he had into that!..
I dont usually like sappy love songs or sad story type songs.. But I must admit I enjoyed this.. It was calming/ nice & beautiful.. I couldn't help but play it til the end..
Well done
One of my favourites from Matchbox 20 :D
Nobody can deliver an enduring, heartfelt passion in his performances.That is what separates Rob, from the countless lyricists. Amazing!
This song takes me back
Gave this a play today with a grumpy sick baby, what do you know she's calm and watching quietly
Love this song 🎵❤.. Rob I just enjoyed your music ...this is what music and singers sounds like peeps....ROB THOMAS....
Such an emotional song. I LOVE it.
🥀Beautiful Amazing Song! I've always loved this song it stood out to me because it was my song I felt like I lived it like he did about his Mama I lost my Dad to cancer in 91..God Bless you Rob Thomas🥀☝️🥀
To my late awesome mother in law Janice Marie Solley. I miss you and John. K.❤
Love this. Their all my favorites
ohhh I love this slowed down
Great performance
One of most beautiful song.
Awesome singer. Just wow. Bravo
Kudos to the guitarist. Playing a right handed guitar left handedly.
That is a left handed guitar strung with the high E at the top..so the strings are actually reversed to where they should be. You will notice the strike guard is where it should be where his left hand is strumming.
@@swankylaxer Actually, it looks as though it’s a left-handed guitar, but strung for right hand playing. Most left-handed players play with the low E on top, just like righties. This guy is a bird of rare plumage, and he sounds great.
This song and push makes more sense the older I get
Absolutely
I don’t know which I like more. This or the storytellers piano version.
I love Rob!!!
I love this Song of Rob Thomas Matchbox20 Forever
The two ppl that disliked this don’t have a soul
Is that no woman no cry to the song?? I love it
Matt Beck never gets enough credit for his beautiful accompaniment.
Outstanding!!!!!
Took care of my mom with cancer and it won april 14, 2005. Was that a wink he put in there? Cute😉!
❤ that's all there is
He really let one just chill and ride out I kinda rate it must of done it a million times
all time fav song
Beautiful💕
Beautiful
Perfeito ❤😊
sweet thx nice song
Damn he looks good!
DAMN nice!!
The best version of this song I've ever heard. Man is a legend.
Matchbox 20 - 3am HD (Live Acoustic) is well worth a listen too. Oh to have been in that audience.
Thank you for uploading! Loved it!
Did anyone else notice that the backup guitar player was playing a guitar left handed that was strung right handed.
Keep jamin your heart out good bless looking out for strays
I cant for the life of me copy his vocal style.
This guy is too good
Don't overlook the dude accompanying on 2nd guitar. Super sweet
Absolutely. Sweet picking. 👍
I don’t think I’ve seen someone play a guitar with the strings in reverse
Guitarist is lit❤️
Love you
christmas 2022, thanks
❤❤❤
I wish i could sing. I sound worse than dropping a tool box down the stairs.
Time and practice.
I always said that my voice sounds like two chalk boards mating
I swear to you I could not sing 10 years ago. I’m 30 now and sound decent. Never give up!!!!
Lol hashtag me too
Practice practice! :-)
Ok Rob is amazing…let’s just set that aside for a second. Is no one going to talk about his guitarist playing the guitar upside down?! I’m sure he’s left handed but those strings are on wrong…and it sounds amazing!
Hendrix played the same way.
I found out that this song is about his mom before she died. Never knew that. This song puts a different perspective on it
Lead guitar is playing upside down? Thats the high E up top... or am I nuts?
She said, "It's cold outside, " and she hands me my raincoat
She's always worried about things like that
Well, she said, "It's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault"
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams, and her voice is straining
She says, "Baby, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
And she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe it"
Well, she's got a little bit of something, God, it's better than nothing
And in her color portrait world, she believes that she's got it all
She swears the moon don't hang quite as high as it used to
And she only sleeps when it's raining
And she screams (screams) and her voice is straining
She says, "Baby, well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
Well, heaven she says, "Baby, yeah, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
Well, she believes that life isn't made up of all that you're used to
And the clock on the wall has been stuck at 3 for days and days
She thinks that happiness is a mat that sits on her doorway
But outside, it's stopped raining
She says, "Baby, well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely"
Heaven, she says, "Baby, yeah, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes
And the rain's gonna wash away, I believe this"
Well, it's 3 AM, I must be lonely (I must be lonely)
Well, heaven, she says, "Baby, well, I can't help
But be scared of it all sometimes"
🎸 💗
Wow
Yo, Where did the performance of unwell go?
Can someone tell me why the guy playing left handed has his strings upside down?
❤️🔥❤️
suggested at 3AM, noice
