This feels like it is already a classic. So penetrating and exhilarating. Kids will be singing this 60 years from now.

Matt Maeson is a generational talent that deserves more recognition.

In my opinion, he sounds better live than on record...

Matts music changed me. Got me through being homeless. Not becoming an addict in hard times like my parents. Keeping my faith in god despite the hard times. Kept me from following through with my suicide plan. I felt like he put my feelings into words in his songs. It made it easier to open up because I got a better understanding of myself through his music. He's clearly my favorite artist! I know every word to every single song. Including his new song blood runs red(it's been on repeat since it was released!). I've been waiting YEARS for him to do a show in Colorado. I'm moving to Oklahoma in a few weeks and I'm just gonna keep waiting and hoping he does a show there!! I am also working on learning all of his songs on guitar but I'm struggling with the strumming the way he does.

You know you’re a talented singer/songwriter when you sound just as good and or better live. The guitar, the lyrics, and the singing are all an 11 out of 10!!

if you are finding this song at any point in the future, the answer is yes. this was for a reason.

I still think of you every time I here this song, Jacob. You introduced me to this artist that year, your last year here… I listened to more of his music after I found out you were gone and heard your story in so many of the lyrics. You will be missed. I’ll always remember your face and your hair and your smile ❤

I thought his studio version of this song was already amazing, his vocals on another level, but this live version holy fuck

3 months ago this song ran into me accidentally while I was walking on the beach alone. I don’t think it was an accident.

His voice has me completely mesmerized. Could listen to him sing all day!

Genuinely sounds better live than the recorded version…absolutely incredible, love this. 💜

My friend showed me Matt Maeson and I wanted to share with the world but she’s one of those people who like to hide artists like this. Don’t be like her! People should be listening to his amazing music!

One of the best shows I’ve seen was his. His stage presence is awesome. I’ve been to over 1000 shows in my life if that means anything 🤷🏻‍♀️

God I wasn't expecting such power out of a live version, not to mention his natural musical feel. this man has some talent

It’s nice to hear real instruments n a true voice. No auto tune, no DJ… just a man w his guitar. I wish my dad could be here n hear this. He played bass, I played piano… it all ended when he died. Maybe one day I’ll start again, for my son, bc he loves music. One f***** day at a time!!

This needs to have more than 18 likes this isn't okay

This song is going to take this guy to the top in the next 2-3 months.

Where has this boy been all my life? He is amazing

His music changed me. The way he moves his audience, singing effortlessly, enjoying what he does in the process. The lyrics, the beat, the tone all blend perfectly. With every strum I could feel what he felt. I envision myself blasting this with my friends in the car, not worrying about a thing. Just enjoying life with the windows down and wind running through our hair. His songs paint a picture in my mind, and even though a lot of it deals with addiction, I envision happy memories (like a light at the end of a tunnel).

Blimey, I wasn't expecting him to sound THIS GOOD live. What a voice. Awesome song

Wow...hits home with so many friends and people I've known...lost every single one of them...

He is one of my favorite artists, there's just something about his music

I just love the live guitar and the live singing

How is this song this old and just now coming across my radar? I'm ashamed of myself for sleeping on this dude.

I’m in love with his hat.

Love this guy. He’s so talented!

Man. His music hits me in a way that no other ever has. I found Matt Maeson when I was in the vehicle, on my way to treatment. I will never be able to express just how much his music means to me - all I can say is that he is one of a kind. I love watching him sing. Such a unique and authentic soul.

Soak this up - greatness before all of us to enjoy and relate .....

His voice in every live version is way better than anything he does recorded in my opinion. It sends shivers to soul! ❤

Matt Maeson is the REAL DEAL. Who sounds better LIVE nowadays? His voice fills a room and is perfection. He’s so special!

This might be my favorite song of all time...

He’s an amazing artist an his story is heart warming

OMG way better live this music has kept me going threw my clean time and break up

Just strumming so hard! Feeling this version in a way I can not explain. Fabulous!

I'd die to see a live show, I really would... Please come to England, Matt

Amazing voice. Very strong voice when he sings. I am feeling depressed today. So this song felt right to listen to. I got blood shot eyes to from no sleep and crying. Ugh 😞

This guy is fucking incredible

wow. first time I have heard this acoustic version. well done. very strong voice. he knows how to sing.

Matt i appreciate your ability to express the words I cant form.

My absolute favorite vocalist/songwriter right now.

What a wonderful performance. Wonderful live. This is the music that really speaks to me. I love it so. ❤️.

Currently my favorite new age artist.

Hard to believe how good this guy's voice is..

I’m seeing him in october and I’m so exited because his stage presence is amazing and his voice is angelic

Thanks bro for this Amazing song I brings me back to a dark place but yet it shows me there is still light at the end of the tunnel

Can’t stop listening to this song…I am blown away from his live performance. 10/10

Best song i heard all year!!!! I must learn how to play it!!!

Idk why I'm getting Lorde vibes, but his uniqueness paired with musicality that is doubtless a result of countless hours of working on his craft, that's something you see shine thru in both. He reminded me of one of my favorites

Thank you you tube recommend videos , you have just changed my life

Love the acoustic version.💓

This man is a true musician. Amazing

This guy is so underrated!!

Some incredible talent right here 💯🫡

Voice gives me chills

The fact that he is wearing an A24 hat makes me love him even more 😂

Beautiful Lyrics

Pushing past the limit Trippin' on hallucinogenics My cigarette burnt my finger 'Cause I forgot I lit it Rippin' with my sinners 'Cause fuck it, man, I ain't no beginner And then I crawled back to the life That I said I wouldn't live in 'Cause I just couldn't open up I'm always shiftin' Go find yourself a man Who's strong and tall and Christian Pushing past the limit Trippin' on hallucinogenics My cigarette burnt my finger 'Cause I forgot I lit it Drunken in Seattle Two more Xans and without a paddle I don't remember your face Or your hair, or your name, or your smile 'Cause I just couldn't open up I'm always shiftin' Go find yourself a man Who's strong and tall and Christian Pushing past the limit Trippin' on hallucinogenics And then I crawled back to the life That I said I wouldn't live in 'Cause I carried on like the wayward son And now through and through, I've come undone And now I am just but the wayward man What with my bloodshot eyes and my shaky hand 'Cause I carried on like the wayward son And now through and through, I've come undone And now I am just but the wayward man What with my bloodshot eyes and my shaky hand Pushing past the limit Trippin' on hallucinogenics My cigarette burnt my finger 'Cause I forgot I lit it

He’s coming to San Antonio can’t wait

His voice is so clean OMGGG

Sounds amazing love and on record. Either way so glad you found your passion. Can’t let this rant go to waste

Daaaaannng!!! Ya’ll knew about this kid and none of you told me!!!?? Amazing!!

Fellow Virginians represent!

Only just ran into this guy; interesting that his live vocal here sounds noticeably higher than in the studio cut, not a criticism because he sounds great, just something I think is kinda interesting. Great song, looks fun to play on guitar.

이노래에 푹 빠졌습니다 최고!

Better than recorded/produced version of song. Awesome.

Amazing voice

Blown away...

Wow this is amazing. I aspire to be as good as him someday :)

as a Taylor employee that details guitar necks, its such a honor seeing him do this on a Taylor D':

AmAzing song !

The picking pattern..👀

Best vocals

Outstanding
