I'm a 71-year old hard-core rock fan, and I don't even know what genre to put this song in, but I've gotta say that this guy is a gift from the musical gods. Thanks for posting this bit of aural genius!
i feel completely and utterly blessed to be able to hear such a powerful insanely talented soul create gorgeous sound. his voice literally just reminds me to be thankful that i have ears to hear such wonders. this is beyond incredible!!
"It's a song about being able to appreciate where you are, being mindful, and thinking that maybe you don't need much to depend on or define yourself by, you just need to enjoy the fact that we all get to share this single lifetime together" - Thank you for sharing a part of you with us. You are genuine and true. Stay positive.
Paulo Smith Carvalho *No bible no more, I don't know faith like I did before I gave it enough I saw the fallen white doors* it speaks for itself, BUD if I'm honest this song is the hight of a lost soul. *All day blazed I wonder If through grace I find the new high I wanted* From some friends of mine who are close with corby, (I'm Australian) they say he smokes copious amounts of pot, just putting it out there that this guys is going through some existentialist angst right here. If you believe in God you would believe that Gods creation is a reflection of his beauty.
This man and his music has saved me from addiction and suicide for 4 years now. Thank you Matt for being an amazing artist and releasing the music you do. I might not have been able to post this were not for you and the passion you put into every single lyric 🙏
Glad you are doing better now :) I totally understand. Matt has touched so many lives through his soulful music and vocals. I'm so grateful I came across him accidentally years ago now, been a fan ever since ❤
This comment got me... I’m a few years in myself and music saved me too. We’re all so much more beautiful exactly the way we are I hope you’re on year 5
I disagree with that actually. Matt has come a long way since then lyrically and musically. This is on another level even if his Tripe J performance of Brother is one of the best renditions of a song of all times Kigoz4Life
+Kigoz4Life Brother is a great song but lyrically he's grown since that song. Matt's lyrics have always been thought provoking but lately it seems like there's raw emotional clarity in his work.
Some people say I think too much but I say lots of people don't think enough. Planning things out and analyzing them isn't bad. It may stress you out some but it helps you solve your problems far more than ignoring it. Even if it doesn't solve anything I like the feeling of having sorted things out in my mind better than not, to have formed some sort of understanding. Eventually I think after thinking enough about almost anything you can push through it. I've been thinking about religion a ton for the past few months and I feel like I've finally come to a conclusion from it after lots of research, analyzing and comparing things. I finally feel like the stress I had is gone because before it just felt like a lot of unknowns. I finally have some certainty now that I've never had before.
I personally see thinking too much about something can be a problem. Thinking about what-ifs when you should be worrying about one thing at a time. Not a string of maybes. Relying on your mind too much can lead you to this negative internal dialogue back and forth. From experience the best thing for me was to listen to my body and allow my mind and soul to operate harmoniously. A lot of people these days exist in a state that detaches mind from body and that serves nothing but to provide a schizophrenic mindset.
Matt seems to be going through some serious changes. With age, it's natural. I read he turned down a major record contract to keep his music untouched. Gotta respect a guy that is this talented and gives zero fucks about fame.
It's called independent music and there's actually a ton of other talented people who make awesome music and yet are not being discovered... Just saying.
There's various youtube channels uploading indie music where you can find your favorites and even Wikipedia lists many bands. These are some of the artists that I found have some good tracks which you may or may not like. And there's also plenty of indie music playlists available...

This is unreal. I probably stared at the blank screen after it ended for 5 minutes before I came back to reality. Such an amazing piece and its so simple. Matt Corby puts out nothing but gold.
+Darly Souza it really isn't that simple. It just sounds quite bare and naked. Take nothing away from the skill in lyrical writing and the perfectly layered vocals.
I wish Matt would live on my balcony, just sitting there singing. Like, always. We'd never talk, we wouldn't need to. Sometimes he would look at me, and I at him. Then we would laugh, and he would keep singing; OoooooohoooOOOoohhOOOh. So much love, man.
I don't want him to reach maximum fame, he's like a best kept secret among those of us who've been lucky enough to stumble upon and witness such talent. He deserves it, but I'm selfish lol...
+Mele Juntz if he gets big, his lyrics will cause controversy and then people will take it for granted like they did with buckley, elvis, joplin, marley and so forth.. I hope deep down he just makes music long enough for me to always be excited to hear new content.
He has such incredible raw talent, and this has got to be my favourite song of his! He voice is so raw and earthy, but with comes a gentleness and beauty... With every song he makes, I admire him more and more
+Bank Alexander The song was largely about breaking religious barriers down in order to truly appreciate your fellow man and life for what it is. He stated "No bible no more." Matt has no doubt has been expanding his mind and searching his conciouness for enlightenment. He is growing as an artist in a vein that will eventually make him one of the greatest of our generation. I get where you were going with the comment though, because of the hair. Funny!
I don't know if you really have the time to read this. Man! you're busy molding the souls of those who appreciated and REALLY listen to your music! Matt, I won't tell that I'm your craziest fan or I know all about your personal life. I can only tell you that if you're able to write and sing songs like this, you must have an amazing soul. You must be the most genuine and authentic artist of all. I really do hope that you keep doing what you do best. I respect you. You're the type of guy that everyone should wish that they can hang out with... Thank you for sharing your art and a part of your soul with us !
I had that situation he sings about. But I returned back to God as I realized it is me who turned away not him. It is me who is the problem in that relationship. I lost patience. I lost faith. I lost trust. But he did not want to leave me like that and asked me one more time to have trust in him. I said yes and it was the most important choice of my life :) Listen to "Noel" from Lauren Daigle. It is a beautiful song with a beautiful message.
I gave up believing in god when I found out about Santa Claus. I will never waste my life talking to a magic man in the sky dreamed up by a sweaty middle eastern cave dweller with nothing better to do.
It feels like you were gone for ages, I was happy when I read you were going to release some new things in the near future. I hope your journey was a good one. Incredible how we humans connect with such a variety of things. Here I am, on the other side of the earth, feeling such a strong connection with you. I've listened to you when I was feeling well, when I was sad, heartbroken, angry and many other things. It feels as though I know you, but of course; I don't. You have done more for me than you can imagine, for that I will be always grateful. Please take good care of yourself and thank you for sharing your love.

All day blazed I wonder If through grace I find the new high I wanted Could it be you? No bible no more, I don't know faith like I did before I gave it enough I saw the fallen white doors Oh, I stumbled too and get it wrong When it's said and gone I'd wait with you, Fading out to silence Blame it on your rage and somber nature If the violent conversation gets the best of you And over graves we'll all get laid and from the babies Some will teach us what the hell our souls were born to do! Oh, I was never lost, I only chose to never go home [4x]
Blessing to Matt on his birthday today. 25 years and he's graced us with his soulful voice and spirit. Matt may you continue to create this beautiful music for the world to enjoy. You truly are a gift on this earth. Your parents must be so proud!
arghh I cant even.... no words to even articulate how amazing this is, good for the soul. This and Untitled are two of my personal favs.... I just lose myself in this God given gift. Well done matt!
When I listen to this song, I imagine life is an adventure through the woods searching for purpose. Matt is my wise guide who accompanies me through the obstacles (and I will eventually find inner piece or something).
I literally found Matt by chance. There is absolutely no reason I should be here. It was destiny. That voice needed to be in my life. Can we get a round of drinks and a lapdance for the employee at youtube who messed around with the suggestions settings and brought me here? Maybe some cool-ass tea towels?
« I was never lost, I only chose to never go home ». It was already something that changed my mind in 2016. Today, it changed my life. Never going back.
How blessed are we to have this incredible soul that is 'Matt Corby' here and now to share these incredible high vibrations with us?! SO Freakin blessed!!! Thank you Matt Corby. Brilliant.
Matt Corby brings out what is lost in all of us. As he confronts himself time and time again with such raw pain and passion he somehow asks us to take that journey too. Inwards. An old journey, and a long one. Back to where we finally find 'home' as a place of solace and comfort. Back beyond the pain.
this..this made me get teary eyed. He's a godsend like his ability to maneuver his voice to do that and his musicality and just his presence on my screen makes my heart so full. He's so unknown but he's one of the greatest vocalists of all time, but not only that, you get to see his heart, his pain or joy through just him singing. I've listened to him for years now and this song made my admiration of him grow more. I wish I could thank him for sharing his talents and heart.
Only Matt Corby could look the way he looks in this video and still be 100 percent hot as hell. That voice could melt butter and fry an egg on top of it.
LMFAO Childish much? 😂 Let her have her own goddamn opinion. Nobody needs stupid fucks like yourself that are jealous they arent as good looking talking shit. Gtfoh kid. Man tf up
LMFAO Nah bud. Im straight as a board. But doesn’t mean that I cant say another dude is goodlooking and it doesn’t mean I like him. You have to be like 12 😂 to be thinking like an imbecile. I hope you mature soon. Kids are so annoying nowadays 💯
I've felt so depressed and angry lately. It just doesn't go away. But when I hear his voice, I'm at peace. It's the only thing that seems to bring me calm right now and I'm so grateful.
Matt whatever you do, stay away from LA. Don't let them get ahold of you. Stay true to yourself. You have a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. May you always have the spark ignited in your soul. Love from Virginia.
Amazing to hear someone sing a song in one take and it sounds better then the album version. Never heard someone sing that much better live. Sometimes great artist can pull it off but not to this degree. I also love the Bible reference. It's a gospel sound which I love and as someone who is spiritual without clinging to any dogma or religion it's refreshing to hear someone prove you don't need religion to have a soul or be soulful. You can tell this man has been around the block and has wisdom and a sense of spirituality by the way he just bares his soul with absolute vulnerability. This is my new favorite song. It beautifully allows you to be relaxed and content with the idea of suffering. It's an uplifting sad song but it just makes me feel connected to everything. Makes me realize that suffering is necessary in order to feel intuned and emathetic for others which breads compassion and that my friends is truly the best road to endure if you want to be happy in life. You will get hurt and used to a point that you question who you are and people will tell you that you are too nice and foolish to keep letting people in with so much openness but you will also be loved and will do so much more then what you see in how you're changing the world on a small scale in a big way since it is action that is your took and one day that person that hurt you might just arrive at a crossroads finally and have to pick what direction they want to go and you will come to mind and without you they wouldn't even see an option but because you showed them live and compassion when others would of showed them rage and hate they now see with that seed you planted a reason to not be the thing that hurt them in the past. They might just choose the one thing that refused to give up on them and that is a reason to live. Become the change you want to see in the world
I right click on my screen and click "Loop" and then just leave this on for hours. It's not just a song..it's a Mantra..a declaration that we are all on individual paths and no one's path is greater than the others. Matt's voice is an implement of the Divine..of the Ether..and I feel he is my spiritual brother in Love. Namaste, Matt! 😉🤟❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤
Right click? not sure what this means on my phone there's no option to make this song play on repeat without having to continually click the vid so it plays again which is annoying haha il go buy the album I guess haha
he makes me so proud to be an aussie. though id like to keep him for myself, i do wish he would be more well known and put us on the map in the music industry ❤
i've always thought music can heal people , it's like a powerful energy going through human beings all around the world , it really keeps us alive . And matt corby is the definition of it , he's music trully helped a lot of people and will for ages, he gets the vibes. oh and finding even one bad song of his is fucking impossible, i hope he'll have all the recognition he deserves as one of the best musician and healer of our time =D joy for all of you =)
And I only found this song because some guy at school turned out to be incredible talented and sang this, and oh boy did I fall in love, this song is just delightful
Haha kept on saying to myself "this can not be live..." til I saw the description box.This guy is an angel.THANK YOU HEAVEN FOR SENDING HIM DOWN THERE 😳The capitals ain't big enough to express the loudness of my scream.
When you pause, and give thanks for being alive and able bodied to embrace the beauty of being alive. Thank you for this awesome contribution to the movement Matt!
'I was never lost. I only chose to never go.'.... how did he know???! We never met and yet, he spoke the silent musings of my soul so eloquently....♡♡♡♡
I'm a 71-year old hard-core rock fan, and I don't even know what genre to put this song in, but I've gotta say that this guy is a gift from the musical gods. Thanks for posting this bit of aural genius!
neo-soul/gospel
change your name to robert old then
hahaha funny Adam
+Adam Tidmas hahaha
Can I ask what have you accomplished in 71 years of your life ?
i feel completely and utterly blessed to be able to hear such a powerful insanely talented soul create gorgeous sound. his voice literally just reminds me to be thankful that i have ears to hear such wonders. this is beyond incredible!!
+Briana Mia :')
:)
+Briana Mia Thanks for putting into words what I couldn't explain!
+Briana Mia and eyes to see such a gorgeous human. How can a person not only be a great person, look beautiful and sound like warm honey?
+Briana Mia Amen Amen Amen Exactly...
"It's a song about being able to appreciate where you are, being mindful, and thinking that maybe you don't need much to depend on or define yourself by, you just need to enjoy the fact that we all get to share this single lifetime together" - Thank you for sharing a part of you with us. You are genuine and true. Stay positive.
It's also about his giving up on God
+Jeremy Smith it´s exactly the opposite, bud. His whole being is GOD´s in expression.
+Paulo Smith Carvalho No, it's about him leaving religion. Respect him enough to not try to put some meaning onto it which he didn't intend.
+Chris Schuck that's exactly what you are doing.
Paulo Smith Carvalho
*No bible no more,
I don't know faith like I did before
I gave it enough
I saw the fallen white doors*
it speaks for itself, BUD
if I'm honest this song is the hight of a lost soul.
*All day blazed I wonder
If through grace I find the new high I wanted*
From some friends of mine who are close with corby, (I'm Australian) they say he smokes copious amounts of pot, just putting it out there that this guys is going through some existentialist angst right here.
If you believe in God you would believe that Gods creation is a reflection of his beauty.
This song is like the gospel for wandering souls
What you said made me cry. Thank you.
This is beautiful
This man and his music has saved me from addiction and suicide for 4 years now. Thank you Matt for being an amazing artist and releasing the music you do. I might not have been able to post this were not for you and the passion you put into every single lyric 🙏
congrats man, that's incredible!
Glad you are doing better now :) I totally understand. Matt has touched so many lives through his soulful music and vocals. I'm so grateful I came across him accidentally years ago now, been a fan ever since ❤
This comment got me... I’m a few years in myself and music saved me too. We’re all so much more beautiful exactly the way we are I hope you’re on year 5
Hope you still doing well Thomas ....God bless ❤you ....
Glad you’re still alive and chose to keep living
I listen to Matt corby every day, it's medicine for the soul
Feel you. So true.
Jazzie Faye true dat
Music doesn't get better than this. Can't fault it.
+Christian Ulf yes it does. Matt Corby - Brother 10 times > this
no
I disagree with that actually. Matt has come a long way since then lyrically and musically. This is on another level even if his Tripe J performance of Brother is one of the best renditions of a song of all times Kigoz4Life
ok
+Kigoz4Life Brother is a great song but lyrically he's grown since that song. Matt's lyrics have always been thought provoking but lately it seems like there's raw emotional clarity in his work.
His voice quiets my mind. It's peaceful. A real gift for an overthinker like me.
epsbandy laying in bed right now trying to calm my brain and this song is really helping. His voice is so angelic
google rainy mood and play it, it fits perfectly
Some people say I think too much but I say lots of people don't think enough. Planning things out and analyzing them isn't bad. It may stress you out some but it helps you solve your problems far more than ignoring it. Even if it doesn't solve anything I like the feeling of having sorted things out in my mind better than not, to have formed some sort of understanding. Eventually I think after thinking enough about almost anything you can push through it. I've been thinking about religion a ton for the past few months and I feel like I've finally come to a conclusion from it after lots of research, analyzing and comparing things. I finally feel like the stress I had is gone because before it just felt like a lot of unknowns. I finally have some certainty now that I've never had before.
epsbandy I feel the same way
I personally see thinking too much about something can be a problem. Thinking about what-ifs when you should be worrying about one thing at a time. Not a string of maybes. Relying on your mind too much can lead you to this negative internal dialogue back and forth. From experience the best thing for me was to listen to my body and allow my mind and soul to operate harmoniously. A lot of people these days exist in a state that detaches mind from body and that serves nothing but to provide a schizophrenic mindset.
"I was never lost, I only chose to never go home..." Powerful!!!
Sibongile Tasila Phiri the first time I heard this I wanted to cry.. such a heavy lyric!
Matt seems to be going through some serious changes. With age, it's natural. I read he turned down a major record contract to keep his music untouched. Gotta respect a guy that is this talented and gives zero fucks about fame.
It's called independent music and there's actually a ton of other talented people who make awesome music and yet are not being discovered... Just saying.

This man has mastered the art of extracting unparalleled beauty out of simplicity.
that is a beautiful quote, that was actually so amazing thank you, absolutely correct too haha
+Darly Souza you have mastered the art of commenting beautiful words put together perfectly.
+Darly Souza it really isn't that simple. It just sounds quite bare and naked. Take nothing away from the skill in lyrical writing and the perfectly layered vocals.
This is the best comment i've read in youtube. Honestly.
I know aye

He has such incredible raw talent, and this has got to be my favourite song of his! He voice is so raw and earthy, but with comes a gentleness and beauty... With every song he makes, I admire him more and more
+Charlie Hannaway and i just realised how corny and lame that sounded

This is absolutely phenomenal, I'm breath taken.
I don't know if you really have the time to read this. Man! you're busy molding the souls of those who appreciated and REALLY listen to your music! Matt, I won't tell that I'm your craziest fan or I know all about your personal life. I can only tell you that if you're able to write and sing songs like this, you must have an amazing soul. You must be the most genuine and authentic artist of all. I really do hope that you keep doing what you do best. I respect you. You're the type of guy that everyone should wish that they can hang out with...
Thank you for sharing your art and a part of your soul with us !
I had that situation he sings about. But I returned back to God as I realized it is me who turned away not him. It is me who is the problem in that relationship. I lost patience. I lost faith.

I just read that in the very best moment. Thank you ;)
My plesure
I gave up believing in god when I found out about Santa Claus. I will never waste my life talking to a magic man in the sky dreamed up by a sweaty middle eastern cave dweller with nothing better to do.
It feels like you were gone for ages, I was happy when I read you were going to release some new things in the near future. I hope your journey was a good one. Incredible how we humans connect with such a variety of things. Here I am, on the other side of the earth, feeling such a strong connection with you. I've listened to you when I was feeling well, when I was sad, heartbroken, angry and many other things. It feels as though I know you, but of course; I don't.
You have done more for me than you can imagine, for that I will be always grateful. Please take good care of yourself and thank you for sharing your love.
"oh I was never lost, I only chose to never go home". Who thinks like that? Just beautiful...
Beautiful. The title speaks loudly. Sunday is not the first day of my week... Monday. This is a song of belief.
His voice is so pure.....brings me to tears every time.....❤

Not since Jeff Buckley have I connected with a musician on a spiritual level. Matt Corby is a gift from GRACE when I'm feeling low.
🥺🥺🥺🥺
Your authenticity is what truly makes your performances Beautiful. Thank you for restoring the art behind songwriting, and giving meaning back to what music was meant for.
-Blessings
i am looking back at my life and wondering what i did to deserve to stumble upon on this absolute legend.
I could listen to this bro sing all day. So pumped to be hearing music again. Amazing music, amazing musician, amazing songwriter.
All day blazed I wonder
If through grace I find the new high I wanted
Could it be you?
No bible no more,
I don't know faith like I did before
I gave it enough
I saw the fallen white doors
Oh, I stumbled too and get it wrong
When it's said and gone
I'd wait with you,
Fading out to silence
Blame it on your rage and somber nature
If the violent conversation gets the best of you
And over graves we'll all get laid and from the babies
Some will teach us what the hell our souls were born to do!
Oh, I was never lost, I only chose to never go home [4x]
Thanks so much!
Tamara Ford can you add it to the video as a UA-cam Hero, that's be fantastic.

Thanks for providing the lyrics Tamara x

I will personally give that lapdance and buy a couple bottles of whiskey and a few packs of beer !
The way he sings... so hauntingly beautiful.
I lay quietly, eyes closed, imagining all the love and beauty that surrounds me. ❤
I can feel the freedom
« I was never lost, I only chose to never go home ». It was already something that changed my mind in 2016. Today, it changed my life. Never going back.
And so, Matt Corby emerges from the shadows he has been hiding in for a while and accomplished what I thought was impossible; he got _better_
How blessed are we to have this incredible soul that is 'Matt Corby' here and now to share these incredible high vibrations with us?! SO Freakin blessed!!! Thank you Matt Corby. Brilliant.
Thanks God this was in my recommended. ♡__♡
I don't even post stuff but I had too his voice is so sexy!!! And makes me want to be better than I can!!!
Matt Corby brings out what is lost in all of us. As he confronts himself time and time again with such raw pain and passion he somehow asks us to take that journey too. Inwards. An old journey, and a long one. Back to where we finally find 'home' as a place of solace and comfort. Back beyond the pain.
Had me crying this is beautiful .. just pure and beautiful.
Most grounded singer, adorable.
As a heterosexual Australian male, I can confidently say that I find everything about this man attractive.
Noah Johnson as a heterosexual Black American Female, I agree 💯
The single most important, creative, genuine artist in the world right now is this lad
If monday's were sweet as his voice 😍😍😍 He is just like an angel.
this..this made me get teary eyed. He's a godsend like his ability to maneuver his voice to do that and his musicality and just his presence on my screen makes my heart so full. He's so unknown but he's one of the greatest vocalists of all time, but not only that, you get to see his heart, his pain or joy through just him singing. I've listened to him for years now and this song made my admiration of him grow more. I wish I could thank him for sharing his talents and heart.
found by accident, I feel like a bit of me as healed listening to this.... so pure, such a beautiful voice.
This man was a black Blues & Soul singer in his pass life. Love the song, has a strong gospel sound love it.
I cannot even count all the times I have listened to this song today. Its brilliant and I am in a perfect mood today for such tunes.
The definition of pure beauty and knowledge, for it truly teaches us the importance of appreciating the little things we barely treasure in life x
" I was never lost, I only chose to never go home " love
Im 33 weeks pregnant, and my baby boy always kicks and dances when i play Matt Corby, im sure he loves it just as much as i do
Found this song only yesterday and I can't stop listening to it. One of the best a cappella songs I've ever heard. It's just a masterpiece.
Wow. I'm teary eyed with an overflowing heart listening to your sound & soul, Matt. You are beauty.
Only Matt Corby could look the way he looks in this video and still be 100 percent hot as hell. That voice could melt butter and fry an egg on top of it.
Sarah Jake desperate ?
LMFAO Jealous?
Leo Specht gay?
LMFAO Childish much? 😂 Let her have her own goddamn opinion. Nobody needs stupid fucks like yourself that are jealous they arent as good looking talking shit. Gtfoh kid. Man tf up
LMFAO Nah bud. Im straight as a board. But doesn’t mean that I cant say another dude is goodlooking and it doesn’t mean I like him. You have to be like 12 😂 to be thinking like an imbecile. I hope you mature soon. Kids are so annoying nowadays 💯
I've felt so depressed and angry lately. It just doesn't go away. But when I hear his voice, I'm at peace. It's the only thing that seems to bring me calm right now and I'm so grateful.
i saw him perform on a music festival two days ago. one of the best concerts ive ever been to and felt the happiest i have in a long time. ❤
Matt whatever you do, stay away from LA. Don't let them get ahold of you. Stay true to yourself. You have a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. May you always have the spark ignited in your soul. Love from Virginia.
at the end... you slowly broke my heart, matt. i know the feeling well, you expressed it.
Matt Corby, thanks for existing.
I have chills all over my body. This is exactly what music should be.
Literally crying because why have I not known about this Angel before this very moment 😭😭😭 honestly mesmerizing
amazing! congrats 100k!!
Congrats on everything youve done in 5 years
Amazing to hear someone sing a song in one take and it sounds better then the album version. Never heard someone sing that much better live. Sometimes great artist can pull it off but not to this degree. I also love the Bible reference. It's a gospel sound which I love and as someone who is spiritual without clinging to any dogma or religion it's refreshing to hear someone prove you don't need religion to have a soul or be soulful. You can tell this man has been around the block and has wisdom and a sense of spirituality by the way he just bares his soul with absolute vulnerability. This is my new favorite song. It beautifully allows you to be relaxed and content with the idea of suffering. It's an uplifting sad song but it just makes me feel connected to everything. Makes me realize that suffering is necessary in order to feel intuned and emathetic for others which breads compassion and that my friends is truly the best road to endure if you want to be happy in life. You will get hurt and used to a point that you question who you are and people will tell you that you are too nice and foolish to keep letting people in with so much openness but you will also be loved and will do so much more then what you see in how you're changing the world on a small scale in a big way since it is action that is your took and one day that person that hurt you might just arrive at a crossroads finally and have to pick what direction they want to go and you will come to mind and without you they wouldn't even see an option but because you showed them live and compassion when others would of showed them rage and hate they now see with that seed you planted a reason to not be the thing that hurt them in the past. They might just choose the one thing that refused to give up on them and that is a reason to live. Become the change you want to see in the world
This guy just gets it. Live your passion.
I love this guys vibrato. He's also really good at going from soothing to electrifying.
possible top 5 favorite live vocals ever. I have been listening for years and I just can't stop.
this man is overly blessed and i love it. and him
I right click on my screen and click "Loop" and then just leave this on for hours. It's not just a song..it's a Mantra..a declaration that we are all on individual paths and no one's path is greater than the others. Matt's voice is an implement of the Divine..of the Ether..and I feel he is my spiritual brother in Love. Namaste, Matt! 😉🤟❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 🖤
Never heard his music before... I'm glad youtube recommended something great for once. perfect for a walk.
The most angelic voice... It melts my heart. So grateful music like this exists
Can everyone just appreciate that this is practically live
I saw this live and i have been obsessed with it since
I'm speechless... this is beyond beautiful...
ahhhh the day UA-cam create the repeat 1 button.... This song feeds my soul. beautiful ...
Right click and away you go.....
Right click? not sure what this means on my phone there's no option to make this song play on repeat without having to continually click the vid so it plays again which is annoying haha il go buy the album I guess haha
cozy beanz If you had a laptop, you just right click on the vid and choose "loop"
VICtorian071 really!! that's so cool thankyou I only ever listen via phone normally so I did not know this :)
