i first fall in love with matchbox twenty's first hit song -"push" from their debut album: "yourself or someone like you".
and as i listen carefully to the other songs in the same album, i realised ive discovered a gem. :)
rob thomas's voice is the best. good, strong, soulful and so distinctly his.
and i like their songs fast and slow.
recommendations from first album: push, kody, back to good
that was back in 1996.
fast forward 4 years, finally they were back with their second album: "mad season".
getting better with string arrangement.
lyrics were more mature - you go, rob!
recommendations from second album: mad season, rest stop, you wont be mine
i love the slow songs from this album more.
"peak" of their career?
3rd album: more than you think you are is out in 2002.
so many good songs from this album that i lose count.
personal fav: hand me down, unwell, could i be you
a member left and the 4th album:exile on mainstream was released only after a 5 years gap in 2007.
how far we've come is so good sung live!
and then when you are about to forget who is matchbox twenty, they released their 5th and latest album last year!
North.
LOL. to be honest, i have not listen much to the last album and im not sure how long it'll take before i get to there.
but again, i think i have the next 3-4 years at least to do that before their next release... :P
so ive been their biggest fan for the last 17 years thinking that i will never have the chance to see them perform live.
but i did tonight.
and it was AWESOME.
rob thomas's voice is totally good live.
i think my tears welled up in my eyes a few times during the performance, no joke.
i may start to understand those hysterical crying girls in concerts.
if ever 1 day i get to see U2 live in SG, i think i will sob the concert away. ha!
and i really must have heart matchbox twenty TONS for i went to catch the concert alone!
beat that!
ending the post with my fav. song of the band: hand me down.
pls ignore the crazy expression below and just listen.
the lyrics and his voice are what make this song so good. like real good.
