I was way too young to appreciate the message in this song. Now that I'm grown and have been through life's up and downs with mental health myself, this song hits very deep.
I'm thrilled you've been able to work through your issues, please remember, all things get better with time, just hold on. God bless you, and be kind to yourself!
I was 21 in the spring of ‘03. I couldn’t afford to stay enrolled in school and couldn’t bear to go home… I was broke, lost, and deeply depressed. When I entered a karaoke contest, I sang this song and won enough money that I could afford to eat for another week. This song reminds me of those hard times, but also of the resolve we can find to survive them. Whatever you’re enduring right now: Keep going. You’re gonna make it.
This song is so amazing, it's stood the test of time...my 7 year old daughter came into my room singing it yesterday 😮 completely floored me that she was singing a Matchbox 20 song. She said she heard it on the radio and just couldn't get it out of her head
Lol, & wait WHAT? Your 7 year old daughter? Surely you mean your 17 year old. Im simply wondering, & judging from the scenario and convo that you shared. However, if she is only 7 years, then I say shes 7 going on 17, lol. So very cute, either way🙂.
I have depression, and now I have a physical disability, unbearable pain. This song is helping me through it. Thank you Matchbox Twenty. Jan 23, 2024: physical pain has disappeared. Thank you all for your compassion 😊
Matchbox Twenty never could've guessed that a little Black girl in a little town in South Africa would love this song, relate to its lyrics, and know she wasn't alone. Thank you for this song!
Fellow East African girl here. Used to listen to this song during my uni days while going through depression and feeling abandoned by my family and studying in a foreign country. I cant say this song saved me but i felt i wasnt alone.
This song means a lot to me. I dealt with being suicidal when I was 18, now I'm 23. I still deal with depression and anxiety but I'm far better than I was before. 💕
You ain't kidding... Here tonight on Tuesday, November 12th 2024 at 6:16pm I'm listening to this song and sobbing, because I'm going through this right now in my life. Honestly, it's a really shitty place to be. Rob Thomas really understood exactly what it felt like to feel utterly hopeless and depressed, but his extreme skill with music and singing, nobody really understood exactly what the song is dealing with. He makes the song sound so happy and joyful, just like the mask depressed, hopeless people wear when everything in their world is crumbling all around them.
@@barbarapierce911 Thanks for sharing. I've sobbed a few times too - so much of this song resonates for me, past and present. Keep moving, smiling and talking - owe it to that little girl years ago, and still in you, who had all the energy and positivity in the world. It gets better, I promise. :)
I was 16 when this song was released, but it means so much more to me today. I’m now 33, a veteran with PTSD, major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. My entire life has been halted because of my mental health. For the first time, these lyrics truly resonate with me. I’m crying right now because it makes me feel like there are others out there who understand what I’m going through. Like I’m not so alone. Because even when I’m surrounded by people who love me, I still feel really lonely. I guess it’s because they don’t truly understand, even though they try to. Anyway, I hope you’re all doing well. God bless.
You're not alone brother. I always had anxiety and PTSD from my childhood but life/service in a PMC made it 500% worse. It seems my anxiety and depression have only grown. I'm working like mad to help things but there was a time when it was difficult for me to leave my house. Remember there are others... Society just likes to sweep this type of ailment under the rug because it's generally caused by something society allows to happen with the mindset that it's okay.
I’m 27 and I have depression, this songs always been something I could relate to as a kid. I’m glad I made it this far. It’s worth it. Things do get better.
Where is Rob Thomas now ? I love i loved this group . but this song if i remembered was released 1998? right ? I wish to go back to the 90's Life is much easier . I could not stand KPOP generation
@@robertmax1316 I saw Matchbox 20 in 2018. They had a tour booked in 2020 that I wanted to attend but Covid got it. I'm sure they will be touring later this year.
This is hands down my favorite song of all time. I never felt like I belonged anywhere no matter how hard I tried. I was loved by my parents. I had friends. But I still felt like I didn't belong. This song moved me the first time I heard it. Like someone dived into my mind and borrowed my feeling and put them into words for me. I cherish this song. Thanks Matchbox 20.
In December of 2020 I was in the hospital fighting for my life after I was giving up on life I walked in the middle of the road at night and stood there and got hit by a snow plow it broke seven of my ribs and one of ribs punctured my lungs collapsed it, the whole time I was in the hospital I played this song on repeat, this song helped me through it, God let me live and showed me I had a purpose after letting me make it out of the hospital.
You're definitely not alone! This song was also a lifesaver for me in 2012. I was in the ICU with a brain aneurysm bleed, fighting for my life and my sanity My sister came from CA and we sang this song together. It reminds me of what Tim Burton said in Alice in Wonderland, "Have I gone mad?" "Yes, you're completely bonkers. But then all the best people are." (Please forgive the paraphrasing - too lazy to look up the exact quote).
@@ZacCoxTV thank youuu so much, and they truly will I’m alway into helping people get through their problems, but thank you so so much, you truly are my favorite RUclipsr, i been around ever since when you used to refer to yourself as Potato, but thank you for your lifting courage keep making the wonderful you make man, forever my favorite RUclipsr
Lyrics All day starin' at the ceilin' makin' Friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices tellin' me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for somethin' Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be, me I'm talkin' to myself in public, dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talkin' about me I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think There must be somethin' wrong with me Out of all the hours thinkin', somehow I've lost my mind But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be I've been talkin' in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're takin' me away I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be yeah, how I used to be How I used to be How I used to be Well, I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be I'm just a little unwell...
This song was so much ahead of its time .. I liked it as a teen not really understanding much about the lyrics but as an adult it really hits so different !!
Absolutely! This song makes me think about my husband who suffers from manic bipolar and severe ptsd from his time in Iraq. Hits SO differently now that I’m older and have experienced life a bit!
All day starin' at the ceilin' makin' Friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices tellin' me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for somethin' Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be, me I'm talkin' to myself in public, dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talkin' about me I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think There must be somethin' wrong with me Out of all the hours thinkin', somehow I've lost my mind But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be I've been talkin' in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're takin' me away I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be yeah, how I used to be How I used to be How I used to be Well, I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be I'm just a little unwell...
This song was way ahead of it's time. For all of those who have had issues with mental health. There are those who are there for you. I hope everyone can have a single good day. And then another, and another.
This song was immensely popular in the Philippines when I was a teen and I remember singing this especially when around my aunt who helped raise me (who was also schizophrenic, bipolar, and epileptic) Back then it was just because it had the lyrics "im not crazy, im just a little unwell" which always summed up her whole being, and a little bit just to spite her. Now that I'm older and she's been gone for around 5 yrs (she died of kidney failure due to 30+ years of heavy medications), I could understand the true meaning of the song and how sad it really was for her. Oh how I miss her and her tantrums, if only I could turn back time and sing this song without the intent to make fun of her, I would, just to make if better for her. I love and miss my mommy girlie :(((
This hits deep when you deal with depression. There are days I wish I could just go away from everything, but for some reason I still try to see another day through. Have loved this song since it came out, I feel many can relate now more than ever.
I called this my theme song the first time I heard it. I'm sorry that you also suffer from depression. There are definitely days when I think I can't take anymore, but I hold on in the hope that tomorrow might bring something...a little joy, a happy surprise, something that makes me laugh, a smile from someone at just the right moment...that makes me feel that it's worth it to keep going. I'm currently in intensive therapy and on meds. I hope that you're also getting the help that you need, and that we both decide to see many, many more days through. ❤
@@traceelang7565 A song means whatever it means to the listener. The songwriter may write it about something very particular, but listeners will interpret it in different ways according to their own experiences. I think that what's really important is that this song has made a lot of people who are battling a variety of mental illnesses feel not so alone. I'm one of those people, and this became "my song" the very first time I heard it.
This song could really be applied to anyone with mental illness or disability. Ultimately it's a positive message, and as someone who deals with three, I can attest to that.
@@DLithic at my teenage days we used to sing this song for fun because its good and famous. Nowadays i think many people can relate their life with this song's lyric, on how broken we can be just to live for tomorrow
BIG Matchbox 20 fan, and I mainly listen to country and 80s rock. But I was a teenager all through the 90s. I'm talking about turned 13 in 90 and 20 in 98. When Push hit the radio I knew I loved this music too. I love RTs voice. There was Steve Perry (Journey) in the 80s and Rob Thomas ruled the 90s. I really like the songs he writes, dude got skills. He wrote 3am about tending to his ailing mother who was dying from cancer. I think the fact that their lead guitarist learned how to play the banjo just for this song shows commitment. They're just a group of talented guys from the 90s who saw a shot and took it. Thank goodness.
I love this song because as someone with severe schizophrenia I can relate to lyrics a lot and the visuals of the video, I always listen to this song before my episodes starts to calm my brain down and make me feel less alone, this song saved my life when I was 15 from trauma, severe bullying and schizophrenia. If your struggling with this disorder or any other mental illness just know your not crazy and that you'll be ok your just a little unwell and that ok. Stay strong 💪 you got this
Hope you're doing well today and that your tomorrow is even better. I read a comment from someone,who it was obvious that English wasn't their first language, that wished that the person would have their good luck for the day. I don't know that it will work, but I hope you get my good luck tomorrow. 💜
My aunt and grandma struggled with schizophrenia. 2 of the best people I have ever known. I will never forget them. My grandma has been gone for years but we just laid my aunt to rest on valentines day. You got this. Love and hugs sent your way.
Thanks for sharing,sharing your pain ,we all have some kind of depression or anxiety at one point in life. Glad you're doing well and continue with the positive mindset💛
Loved this song growing up in the 90s. Now I'm 34 battling anxiety, bipolar and depression and the song just gets me. Rob Thomas doesn't get the recognition he deserves!!!
Bro the whole fkn world is bent and broken. Let's learn to love each other. Anxiety happens because of fear. Depression happens when you give up. Stand up and force yourself to feel good emotions. You're stronger than you know and meditations going to help you greatly.
This song continues to resonate deeply with me. The song's portrayal of life's struggles strikes a chord every time I listen to it. It's become my to go to whenever I need a reminder that I'm not alone in facing challenges.
As upbeat as this song is, it still makes me choke up. My heart goes out to anyone with a mental illness. Remember, hope is not gone. This song and video is a masterpiece. Beautifully written.
Whoever is reading this, do not give up on your dreams. Don't spend time with the wrong people. Don't try to fit in. Do things your way and the things that YOU want to do. You all are still here, which means you are still in the fight. I believe in you.
holy shit that has helped a lot and i will have this comment with me forever I AM SERIOUS!!! i am keeping this and you definitiely are an amazing person
Exactly I’ve heard this song probably 100 times before but wasn’t until now I understand its true meaning every line hits me hard when I really pay attention to the lyrics
Yes that's how I'd survive .... Now not many musical outlets like back then just sitting In the room to song that hit the spot sing your heart out till you felt better 😢😢
I've struggled with mental health my entire life, always felt like an outsider. This song has always made me feel less alone for a few beautiful minutes. Thank you.
All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why [Chorus] But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be...me I'm talking to myself in public Dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talking about me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind [Chorus] But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be I've been talking in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're taking me away [Chorus] But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Yeah, how I used to be How I used to be Well, I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be I'm just a little unwell
Until you are in this place, you really cannot understand the pain it can cause, even when no one is a fault. Thank you for sharing this ballad... because tomorrow might be good for something... it is
I've been struggling so hard this last year. I feel like I lost myself. Somehow this song help me to remember that somewhere inside me, I'm still there. I'm just waiting, I'll return and accomplish everything that I want.
For me this song reminds me of someone who lost his mind on drugs and my struggle living with him.. I’m mentally stable and with healthy mindset and for some reason living with a person a little unwell makes u one of them.. I left and now I’m a lot happier..
I was only 11 when this song was released. The banjo opening got my attention but the lyrics hooked me til the song was over. My husband said this was one of the many songs that helped him survive his trauma.
When he says "how I used to be" I think back to the days before social media. Back before I cared so much what others think of me. This song just resonates with me
Old School, less stress and pressure. FAKEBOOK is perhaps the biggest Social Media problem ever created. Drop it like a hot potato. Move on and focus on the positives. I can not teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
This song reminds me of myself alot because I have a serious anxiety and depression disorder and everyone seems to think people with mental illnesses are crazy. We are not crazy we're just trying to stop us from thinking we are
Haley you're not alone. I have been suffering from major depression and anxiety with panic attacks for over twenty years. This song reminded me of myself and I was going to write a comment. When I saw yours, I thought I already had for a second. Then I saw it was you. Hope you are feeling better.
I hope you are doing well too❤ I'm just tired of people telling us to suck it up or get over it, when we can't sleep or eat or even think without feeling badly about ourselves then the words "suck it up" don't do much. This song is so amazing and the lyrics make so much sense. "I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell but stay a while and you will see the different side of me" it shows that we are not our mental illnesses. I hope you feel better soon💕
Struggled and Survived with Bipolar Disorder for 20 odd years. Songs such as these soothe the soul in those dark lonely days. For the rest of you out there hang in there reach out and you will get your 2nd wind. love from nz
I never thought about this, but you are totally right. I am living a 20-year marriage separation right now, and lyrics take another meaning for me now.
When I first heard this in my childhood I never would have thought almost 2 decades later that I'd stumble upon it again & that'd relate to every lyric in the song. Funny how life works 😒
I always listen to this somg when I am at my low point. And always listen to it when I am better. It helps! Thank you for writing this somg! ❤️ It’s like a huge ass Teddy bear!
I suffer from mental illness and this song was so relatable and his lyrics are very on point whenever I feel broken and need hope. Music is therapeutic
When this first came out, I only had a cheap radio in my little room. I was a kid going through a lot of abuse. I was mentally unstable. Sometimes I still am, why I'm on medication, but back then I had nothing, but I had THIS. THIS. Kept me alive. It kept me from going completely insane.
jericho cunningham true that man. I wish music like this would dominate the mainstream once more. it's gotten a little better since the complete shit era of late 15 to early 16 but still nowhere near as good as this
As someone who suffers from Anxiety and Panic Attacks, the scariest part was them happening and had no idea what was going on. I was in the barbershop getting a haircut. Had my first full blown panic attack during the haircut, got taken to the emergency room with half a haircut. I can look back now and laugh at it, but still feel the panic like it was yesterday.
All these young legends mentioning how they are suddenly feeling this song after years of growing, imagine how the older generation felt during the time. They are he ones that felt it and requested it so often. The youth is not the only generation to enjoy music. Remember that. But damn this made me feel a little more alive!
At 30 I'm not sure where I fit lol. I adore rob thomas and have always loved his lyrics so so much. I've always connected with them. When I'm feeling weird or down, rob thomas is my fix ♡
I can’t believe this song is 19 years old! Wow. Do I feel old. It definitely was one of my fave songs and when it first came out it really hit home with my depression. And So I’d be the ‘older generation’ you speak of 🤭😁 ha ha.
Hey River I get you. Those youngsters don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. Yup, age definitely makes you more insightful. Especially if you have lived as a teen in 70’s.
Yep it's great for the ambiance, they were really well produced and i dont think ppl will appreciate it for another couple decades. He really put his all into his voice and inflections, i wish more people appreciated that in their music.
As a guy who grew up with depression whose coping mechanism is self harm and bruising, I’ve always interpreted the line: “i’ve been talking in my sleep. Pretty soon they’ll come to get me. Yeah, they’re taking me away” as my demons getting and winning over me. It’s debilitating and makes me contemplate doing it at times. I know i’m winning because i’m still here, no matter what the circumstances are. And i’m glad anyone who is reading is here too. PS. I’ve commented here because i’ve never been able to vent to anyone
Your comment seriously reached my heart and I couldn't relate more to your words as well. ❤ From one stranger to another, it's people like yourself who have helped me stay stronger every minute, hour, day, year, etc; Because I am sure-without a doubt- you still and continue to persevere on days where you have probably cried, screamed, prayed, worked, or whatever it may be just to cope and keep some hope. 🙏Continue to keep fighting, and never let a day pass where those demons make you forget your own personal strength and courage you have carried. If you need anyone, I am happy to be even a listening ear if you wish, given I have never truly had anyone as well, much less real friends. 😔 Anyways, not to ramble, but having had something draw me back to this song, I found your comment and just thought I'd pass along my own positive affirmations and empathy. Keep kicking ass, friend. ✊🏻🌈❤
And yeah, you can't vent to anyone coz they'd say that they understand you but they'll never will unless they experience the same hell. No matter how good their intentions, telling someone your problems is easier to say than do.
@Rand I'm dead serious. No need to lie about something so small. But his dad has taken me into the house and shown me robs trophies and family pictures. He loves talking about rob. I always want to ask him to call rob so I can speak to him. But I never do. I dont want to be another aggravating fan ya know. So im just grateful for getting to speak to his dad and see the stuff his dad shows me
@@james-sw2yc my family has a few celebrity friends as well like Billy Joel and other various ones but tbh Billy Joel was the only one I knew before knowing we were family friends with him. I think many people overlook that celebrities are people too and have a life outside the screens. For example, Billy Joel goes for bagels every Wednesday with my uncle ever since he donated to the museum my uncle is secretary for. Ofc in long Island. I haven't met him personally yet to which I'm kind of sad about but like you I don't want to be one of those pestering fans. He's my uncle's friend, not mine, I do wish I could meet him but naturally, not by asking.
@@user-yr7ie9kt4i fun fact its the actual truth tho. And honestly dont care if someome believes me or not. I could prove it if I really wanted to. I have 0 subscribers and my RUclips channel is old as sh*t I don't need any attention. Just figured I'd share my story
Depression is Not an attitude, Nothing that a change of mind can cure. I silently rage Against myself Everyday. I stay alive for them, Not me. But maybe Someday soon, I hope, I will enjoy something, Anything, Again. Maybe, Someday soon, I will want to live Again. Listening to this song makes me feel a little less lonely, a little more understood, a little more hopeful. Very few songs have impacted me as much as this one has.
This song helped me so much when I was suffering with my mental health, I spent 3 months in a psychiatric unit after my ex boyfriend had me sectioned purely so he wouldn't have to "deal with me anymore" as he put it. I've now been diagnosed with psychotic depression, not a nice thing but I'd listen to this song every night before meds and bed. I swear it was written for me!
+Anna Fackey Hey Anna, I have lived experience with Bipolar Depression and love this song as well. It's funny how a lot of darkish songs can help in the wellness management of mental illness. Another classic MB20 song for the same reason is Kody. Good Luck and stay well.....Peace
Been dealing with cancer for 3 years now, not an easy path. it sucks! Though it made me appreciate life more and i'm grateful for everything, no worries i'm just a little Unwell. Keep safe y'all.

@@nhell013 Exactly the same thing the older generation said about the music in the 90's, such as this song, and how the music should be more popular, etc accept that the next gen has their own issues that you can't relate to, as we're still dealing with our own issues and lives.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea what "underrated" means. A LOT of people know or at least heard of this song, it's popular world wide. This isn't underrated.
Unwell (lyrics) All day starin' at the ceilin' makin' Friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices tellin' me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for somethin' Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be, me I'm talkin' to myself in public, dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talkin' about me I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think There must be somethin' wrong with me Out of all the hours thinkin', somehow I've lost my mind But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be I've been talkin' in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're takin' me away I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know, right now you can't tell But stay a while and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know, right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be yeah, how I used to be How I used to be How I used to be Well, I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be I'm just a little unwell...
Mental illness is a living hell to live & suffer in silence with, this song has great insight. I wish people wouldn't judge so soon once you tell them & try to understand. Noone understands until it's too late sometimes, sad but true.
If you get the right meds then your all good. I have schizophrenia, EUPD, MDD and also severe anxiety but now Im on the right meds im back to my old self. Dont suffer in silence
Rob Thomas is so amazing, I've been a huge fan for many years his songs hit hard to the heart. Very grateful for him & his music. His music helps heal the broken, he is a light in this dark cold world.
If I tell my doctor I'm suffering from a mental illness his respond will be stop taking drugs SMH some Don't want to help people with mental illnesses some Don't even want to notice most people will just smile & laugh in your face saying you will be okay
Stephany Feliciano It's tough but there are compassionate doctors out there. Do an online search and read reviews( Google). Often times you won't know til you see them face to face but, if the first visit doesn't go well you don't have to continue seeing them. When I finally got a diagnosis, the specialist I saw didn't seem to care. I was able to schedule my next appointment with another doctor at the same office. Some places will allow that, others won't. But you don't have to see anyone that makes you feel bad about yourself.

@@kenroy916 I love this! Most true quote ever! I hate the way society works. Everyone spends most of their lives working at a job they hate just so they can survive. No one gets enough time to truly live and find happiness. I wish things could be different. :(

Trying!! I need to see the light
Still surviving...thanks to God😇🙏
I was way too young to appreciate the message in this song. Now that I'm grown and have been through life's up and downs with mental health myself, this song hits very deep.
I was just thinking this!!
I used to listen to my moms CD disc in my 1 player radio, before 3 disk were a thing brought back so many memories.
You said it, friend. This so so much poignant now.
I'm thrilled you've been able to work through your issues, please remember, all things get better with time, just hold on. God bless you, and be kind to yourself!
Keep strong kiddo, I an 53 now, and remember when... this song hits Alot of people who deserve a chance to heal.
I was 21 in the spring of ‘03. I couldn’t afford to stay enrolled in school and couldn’t bear to go home… I was broke, lost, and deeply depressed. When I entered a karaoke contest, I sang this song and won enough money that I could afford to eat for another week. This song reminds me of those hard times, but also of the resolve we can find to survive them.
Whatever you’re enduring right now: Keep going. You’re gonna make it.
I’m sorry you had to go through all that but I am glad you pushed through. 🙂
💖🤗😘❣
I don’t think I could get through that you are so brave and strong
@Eric Stix
I used to karaoke this song too 🙃
Thank you for your comment 💜💚
You can get it done today tomorrow morning morning tomorrow night morning night night and then I can get some tomorrow morning night
This song is so amazing, it's stood the test of time...my 7 year old daughter came into my room singing it yesterday 😮 completely floored me that she was singing a Matchbox 20 song. She said she heard it on the radio and just couldn't get it out of her head
Lol, & wait WHAT? Your 7 year old daughter? Surely you mean your 17 year old. Im simply wondering, & judging from the scenario and convo that you shared. However, if she is only 7 years, then I say shes 7 going on 17, lol. So very cute, either way🙂.
That makes me wanna cry music is too powerful 😢
Good music

I have depression, and now I have a physical disability, unbearable pain. This song is helping me through it. Thank you Matchbox Twenty. Jan 23, 2024: physical pain has disappeared. Thank you all for your compassion 😊
Much love sent your way. ❤❤❤

The nostalgia from this song is overwhelming.
Listening to this as an adult makes me realize that he was really singing about depression, anxiety, mental anguish and most probably substance abuse.
Hallucinations and delusions too
You listed every reason I connect with this song
It’s about his mother. So is 3am.
Its about waking up from the matrix
Yeah, well, this song fueled my teenage psychosis.
Matchbox Twenty never could've guessed that a little Black girl in a little town in South Africa would love this song, relate to its lyrics, and know she wasn't alone. Thank you for this song!
They liked playing this song on 94.7 Highveld stereo 😩 my favourite song ever.
They played it today on east coast radio...I had to come here and listen to it again
Hey there lil sister your not alone ever
Fellow East African girl here. Used to listen to this song during my uni days while going through depression and feeling abandoned by my family and studying in a foreign country. I cant say this song saved me but i felt i wasnt alone.
Hey I was an 17 1/2 year old highSchool senior Black girl from Brooklyn EastNewyork living on my own and I would blast this song . I loved matchbox
This song means a lot to me. I dealt with being suicidal when I was 18, now I'm 23. I still deal with depression and anxiety but I'm far better than I was before. 💕
Keep it up bro. So happy for you that you're doing better than before! So proud of you man.
Yeah I am 18 now and life is hard sometimes but I just want someone to talk to sometimes :(
Hey Bro keep it up , I know we just met , but I love you brother don't leave us
@@JrVidKiidd thank you brother. That means a lot. I got hit with a lot of depression in February but I'm slowly working on improving.
@@seththunderhawk I'm glad to be here for you brother.
These songs don't resonate when you're young and naive, but when you get older... gold!
Im only growing up now and Im old as fuck. Mad.
You ain't kidding...
Here tonight on Tuesday, November 12th 2024 at 6:16pm
I'm listening to this song and sobbing, because I'm going through this right now in my life.
Honestly, it's a really shitty place to be. Rob Thomas really understood exactly what it felt like to feel utterly hopeless and depressed, but his extreme skill with music and singing, nobody really understood exactly what the song is dealing with.
He makes the song sound so happy and joyful, just like the mask depressed, hopeless people wear when everything in their world is crumbling all around them.
@@barbarapierce911 Thanks for sharing. I've sobbed a few times too - so much of this song resonates for me, past and present. Keep moving, smiling and talking - owe it to that little girl years ago, and still in you, who had all the energy and positivity in the world. It gets better, I promise. :)
I was 16 when this song was released, but it means so much more to me today. I’m now 33, a veteran with PTSD, major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. My entire life has been halted because of my mental health. For the first time, these lyrics truly resonate with me. I’m crying right now because it makes me feel like there are others out there who understand what I’m going through. Like I’m not so alone. Because even when I’m surrounded by people who love me, I still feel really lonely. I guess it’s because they don’t truly understand, even though they try to. Anyway, I hope you’re all doing well. God bless.
hey man i no, now know, what your going threw, the next day never gets better either!SUCKS
You're not alone brother. I always had anxiety and PTSD from my childhood but life/service in a PMC made it 500% worse. It seems my anxiety and depression have only grown. I'm working like mad to help things but there was a time when it was difficult for me to leave my house. Remember there are others... Society just likes to sweep this type of ailment under the rug because it's generally caused by something society allows to happen with the mindset that it's okay.
I hope you're all doing better. Take it a day at a time. You're never alone.
Our Heavenly Father bless you brother.
God bless you for your service to our country!!
I’m 27 and I have depression, this songs always been something I could relate to as a kid. I’m glad I made it this far. It’s worth it. Things do get better.
Same
hugs
You hang in the there young Sir. Your comment tells me all I need to know about you. The Universe has you. And I’ve been there too
Do they really I feel like that's just I lie we tell ourselves just to try an make it one more day...
Very happy to read these words. Would love to hear your story if you're feeling up to share!
Once again I find myself listening to Matchbox Twenty, June 13, 2024. Always loved these guys!
I always looked all put together and by my late 20’s this song was saving my life.
Who listening to this song january 2021... your a legend
So I'm not the only one on a "anything Rob thomas" kick right now
I'm listening!! This song speaks to me!! I love MB 20!!!
Where is Rob Thomas now ? I love i loved this group . but this song if i remembered was released 1998? right ? I wish to go back to the 90's Life is much easier . I could not stand KPOP generation
@@robertmax1316 same brother, im 19 but i prefer to listening 90s music
@@robertmax1316 I saw Matchbox 20 in 2018. They had a tour booked in 2020 that I wanted to attend but Covid got it. I'm sure they will be touring later this year.
This is hands down my favorite song of all time. I never felt like I belonged anywhere no matter how hard I tried. I was loved by my parents. I had friends. But I still felt like I didn't belong. This song moved me the first time I heard it. Like someone dived into my mind and borrowed my feeling and put them into words for me. I cherish this song. Thanks Matchbox 20.
💙 stay strong Nick. I feel you brother
Not the only one that feels that way Nick. Stay strong brother. You are not alone.
Wow, your comment is the script from my mind! I feel empowered by your honesty! Thank you for being YOU!
Could you be neurodivergent in some way? e.g. autistic, ADHD etc. You might find your people among those groups.
@@frolickinglions It never occurred to me before you mentioned it. I'll definitely check it out lol
This song helped save my life in Dec 2020. I knew I wasn't alone when the words hit me right in the soul. So I kept going.
In December of 2020 I was in the hospital fighting for my life after I was giving up on life I walked in the middle of the road at night and stood there and got hit by a snow plow it broke seven of my ribs and one of ribs punctured my lungs collapsed it, the whole time I was in the hospital I played this song on repeat, this song helped me through it, God let me live and showed me I had a purpose after letting me make it out of the hospital.
You're definitely not alone! This song was also a lifesaver for me in 2012. I was in the ICU with a brain aneurysm bleed, fighting for my life and my sanity
My sister came from CA and we sang this song together.
It reminds me of what Tim Burton said in Alice in Wonderland, "Have I gone mad?"
"Yes, you're completely bonkers. But then all the best people are."
(Please forgive the paraphrasing - too lazy to look up the exact quote).
@@Alena1960atLive I am so glad you are here! Thank you for sharing your story. That sanity thing is a fighter for sure lol.

Lyrics
All day starin' at the ceilin' makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices tellin' me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'
Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be, me
I'm talkin' to myself in public, dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talkin' about me
I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think
There must be somethin' wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin', somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talkin' in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell...

This song was so much ahead of its time .. I liked it as a teen not really understanding much about the lyrics but as an adult it really hits so different !!

I stand with you on that, completely 🙂
Absolutely! This song makes me think about my husband who suffers from manic bipolar and severe ptsd from his time in Iraq. Hits SO differently now that I’m older and have experienced life a bit!

Thank you
Someday you will think of me and how I used to be hit me so hard. I used to b better. Now im a lonely misunderstood soul a very sad one.
This song was way ahead of it's time. For all of those who have had issues with mental health. There are those who are there for you. I hope everyone can have a single good day. And then another, and another.
This song was immensely popular in the Philippines when I was a teen and I remember singing this especially when around my aunt who helped raise me (who was also schizophrenic, bipolar, and epileptic) Back then it was just because it had the lyrics "im not crazy, im just a little unwell" which always summed up her whole being, and a little bit just to spite her.
Now that I'm older and she's been gone for around 5 yrs (she died of kidney failure due to 30+ years of heavy medications), I could understand the true meaning of the song and how sad it really was for her.
Oh how I miss her and her tantrums, if only I could turn back time and sing this song without the intent to make fun of her, I would, just to make if better for her. I love and miss my mommy girlie :(((
sounds epic my nigga
damn that's sad
Reminds me of my mum your not alone.
im not crazy, there are just ninjas cutting onions
Kinda like its 3 am.and it starts raining ,,,.nana was the best and I never knew till later .shame on me
This hits deep when you deal with depression. There are days I wish I could just go away from everything, but for some reason I still try to see another day through. Have loved this song since it came out, I feel many can relate now more than ever.
I called this my theme song the first time I heard it.
I'm sorry that you also suffer from depression. There are definitely days when I think I can't take anymore, but I hold on in the hope that tomorrow might bring something...a little joy, a happy surprise, something that makes me laugh, a smile from someone at just the right moment...that makes me feel that it's worth it to keep going.
I'm currently in intensive therapy and on meds. I hope that you're also getting the help that you need, and that we both decide to see many, many more days through. ❤
This song is actually about paranoid schizophrenia.
@@traceelang7565 A song means whatever it means to the listener. The songwriter may write it about something very particular, but listeners will interpret it in different ways according to their own experiences. I think that what's really important is that this song has made a lot of people who are battling a variety of mental illnesses feel not so alone. I'm one of those people, and this became "my song" the very first time I heard it.
Well done mate. Keep pushing on.
Yes Yes Of Course Of Course

I’m just so lucky that i get to witness the 1990’s - early 2000’s era. You can’t find songs like this Nowadays.
Boy do I miss them days bro
Totally agree
The songs this generation likes is all negative energy songs so disappointing. Not soulful at all
You can find good songs too nowadays, but it's rare that u bump into one.
i agree with you
Rob is one of the rare ones you can just listen to the entire album start to finish never gets old
This song could really be applied to anyone with mental illness or disability. Ultimately it's a positive message, and as someone who deals with three, I can attest to that.
I agree it is one of my favorite
Agree
agree 100%
yup yup
Nicholas H I deal with dyslexic, it's not a massive disability and it doesn't affect me as much but it's still a disability
This aged like fine wine still listening in 2021
This song hits differently when we are older
Yes it does☺
how so?
@@DLithic at my teenage days we used to sing this song for fun because its good and famous. Nowadays i think many people can relate their life with this song's lyric, on how broken we can be just to live for tomorrow
@@azizabdullah7599 well put, i plan for tomorrow but dont always make it ;)
@@DLithic be strong buddy. No matter how hard, but life goes on..
BIG Matchbox 20 fan, and I mainly listen to country and 80s rock. But I was a teenager all through the 90s. I'm talking about turned 13 in 90 and 20 in 98. When Push hit the radio I knew I loved this music too. I love RTs voice. There was Steve Perry (Journey) in the 80s and Rob Thomas ruled the 90s. I really like the songs he writes, dude got skills. He wrote 3am about tending to his ailing mother who was dying from cancer.
I think the fact that their lead guitarist learned how to play the banjo just for this song shows commitment. They're just a group of talented guys from the 90s who saw a shot and took it. Thank goodness.
I love this song because as someone with severe schizophrenia I can relate to lyrics a lot and the visuals of the video, I always listen to this song before my episodes starts to calm my brain down and make me feel less alone, this song saved my life when I was 15 from trauma, severe bullying and schizophrenia. If your struggling with this disorder or any other mental illness just know your not crazy and that you'll be ok your just a little unwell and that ok. Stay strong 💪 you got this
Hope you're doing well today and that your tomorrow is even better. I read a comment from someone,who it was obvious that English wasn't their first language, that wished that the person would have their good luck for the day. I don't know that it will work, but I hope you get my good luck tomorrow. 💜
My aunt and grandma struggled with schizophrenia. 2 of the best people I have ever known. I will never forget them. My grandma has been gone for years but we just laid my aunt to rest on valentines day. You got this. Love and hugs sent your way.
Bless you 🙏 ♥️ 🙌 💖
My son does the same
Same diagnosis
may god be there for you
Thanks for sharing,sharing your pain ,we all have some kind of depression or anxiety at one point in life. Glad you're doing well and continue with the positive mindset💛
Loved this song growing up in the 90s. Now I'm 34 battling anxiety, bipolar and depression and the song just gets me. Rob Thomas doesn't get the recognition he deserves!!!
Great song writer.
Just seen them in Pittsburgh. They put on a great live show
Thanks for your love and comment on my music, I’m not complete without you as my fan, I hope you never stop following my career?
2003 good sir
Bro the whole fkn world is bent and broken. Let's learn to love each other. Anxiety happens because of fear. Depression happens when you give up. Stand up and force yourself to feel good emotions. You're stronger than you know and meditations going to help you greatly.
Praying for you, stay strong.
Rob thomas where are you man?? Your generation needs another album.. please brother!! Defined an era for me!
Chip Tooth Smile will be released on April 26, 2019 - I'm stoked!!

and he wrote/directed iZombie as far as I know. he got killed off in season 1 lol
love 90's era...like it
This song continues to resonate deeply with me. The song's portrayal of life's struggles strikes a chord every time I listen to it. It's become my to go to whenever I need a reminder that I'm not alone in facing challenges.
We dont come to listen to a song,but the memories and feelings it brings.

@@sahie thank you. One day I pray to see Adam again, then I will be healed.
As upbeat as this song is, it still makes me choke up. My heart goes out to anyone with a mental illness. Remember, hope is not gone. This song and video is a masterpiece. Beautifully written.
Indeed
An upbeat song can have a deeper meaning behind it.
Whoever is reading this, do not give up on your dreams. Don't spend time with the wrong people. Don't try to fit in. Do things your way and the things that YOU want to do. You all are still here, which means you are still in the fight. I believe in you.

Thank you I really needed that
This song and this group did so much to help propel a societal shift in the way the masses perceived mental illness.
Strange how songs that didnt make sense before suddenly are making sense now
Exactly I’ve heard this song probably 100 times before but wasn’t until now I understand its true meaning every line hits me hard when I really pay attention to the lyrics
True, i thought it was a love song.
just noticed it a moment ago
I feel you
Truee
This tune soothes the soul for anyone going through tough times. Too bad nowadays there isn’t much soul searching in music.
Well said. It is soul-soothing for me. Makes me feel like I'm not alone in this daily struggle. Good luck & best wishes to you.
@@abbygrace2226hi abby you sound like a very nice person! god bless you
Yes that's how I'd survive .... Now not many musical outlets like back then just sitting In the room to song that hit the spot sing your heart out till you felt better 😢😢
There is still soul searching music. You might like Gregory Allen isakov or Jason isbel
I think its more just looking in the right places for it. Personally Twenty One Pilots has been my go to
I've struggled with mental health my entire life, always felt like an outsider. This song has always made me feel less alone for a few beautiful minutes. Thank you.
Made me cry. These lyrics are unbelievable. So relevant and real.

Keep on keeping on brother. Songs like this where we can find a deeper meaning help so much.

Me too....I'm sorry that really sucks
Honestly, it's to soon for me to tell with this year. Most of the years of my life, many weren't really the year for me especially the last few years.
Agreed
Minha adolescência escutando essa música. Obrigado MatchBox 20 por fazer parte dessa parte da minha vida ❤❤
I've been struggling so hard this last year. I feel like I lost myself.
Somehow this song help me to remember that somewhere inside me, I'm still there.
I'm just waiting, I'll return and accomplish everything that I want.
For me this song reminds me of someone who lost his mind on drugs and my struggle living with him.. I’m mentally stable and with healthy mindset and for some reason living with a person a little unwell makes u one of them.. I left and now I’m a lot happier..
You will
You can do it
Best wishes for you my friend ❤️

I was only 11 when this song was released. The banjo opening got my attention but the lyrics hooked me til the song was over. My husband said this was one of the many songs that helped him survive his trauma.
When he says "how I used to be" I think back to the days before social media. Back before I cared so much what others think of me. This song just resonates with me
Get off social media and focus on you. RUclips is the only social media i have. And it's pretty great, lol
Delete it all And go do something with people you’d normally never meet. Worth it trust me
Old School, less stress and pressure. FAKEBOOK is perhaps the biggest Social Media problem ever created. Drop it like a hot potato. Move on and focus on the positives. I can not teach anybody anything, I can only make them think.
This! You hit the nail on the head. I miss those simpler days before social media. And jobs were easy to come by too.
Social media has made humanity unsocial
Who is listening to these songs in 2024 your a legend ..
ATM
Yo
Definitely now 2024 lol
Pass it on to 2025
Your a legend!❤
This song reminds me of myself alot because I have a serious anxiety and depression disorder and everyone seems to think people with mental illnesses are crazy. We are not crazy we're just trying to stop us from thinking we are
I have social anxiety but Im okay now.
That's good☺❤
Excellent point Haley. god bless you
Haley you're not alone. I have been suffering from major depression and anxiety with panic attacks for over twenty years. This song reminded me of myself and I was going to write a comment. When I saw yours, I thought I already had for a second. Then I saw it was you. Hope you are feeling better.
I hope you are doing well too❤ I'm just tired of people telling us to suck it up or get over it, when we can't sleep or eat or even think without feeling badly about ourselves then the words "suck it up" don't do much. This song is so amazing and the lyrics make so much sense. "I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell but stay a while and you will see the different side of me" it shows that we are not our mental illnesses. I hope you feel better soon💕
Almost forgot about these guys. Damn. Life has it's upside and downs, and they remind of both. Music gonna keep me alive.
Struggled and Survived with Bipolar Disorder for 20 odd years. Songs such as these soothe the soul in those dark lonely days. For the rest of you out there hang in there reach out and you will get your 2nd wind. love from nz
Thanks, Kevin
Good comment bro. I'm waiting on that second wind rn.
🤍
Severe Depression and Anxiety here...😥😥😥
1st time I heard this song the chorus spoke to me as somebody with an anxiety disorder
When you're happy, you enjoy the music. When you're sad, you understand the lyrics.
When you’re high on meth you really understand it
@@thomasvratney1813 Stop using meth it’s for your own good
Well said
I never thought about this, but you are totally right. I am living a 20-year marriage separation right now, and lyrics take another meaning for me now.
@@marvincastillo6948 Wow 😮
When I first heard this in my childhood I never would have thought almost 2 decades later that I'd stumble upon it again & that'd relate to every lyric in the song. Funny how life works 😒
I always listen to this somg when I am at my low point. And always listen to it when I am better. It helps! Thank you for writing this somg! ❤️
It’s like a huge ass Teddy bear!
I suffer from mental illness and this song was so relatable and his lyrics are very on point whenever I feel broken and need hope. Music is therapeutic
Same
i'm on mental disability . they treat me like i'm a weirdo . lord , please take me home .
yes...
It sure is!!!
We can get through this together! Stay strong my friends.
❤
We are not alone.
You too bud
❤ it is meds.
As a teen this song hit hard, but as an adult this song almost floors you... this song is legend
Definitely one of the best videos ever made. Criminally underrated..
Yepsies
February 2024 - Listening to this beautiful track is everything...❤
i just found it again ❤️
same with me 😊
👍🇯🇵
❤❤❤
🎉
When I was a kid, I used to sing this casually but now, this song hits differently.
ikr
I’m literally balling my eyes out I can’t believe how this song still affects me!!
🙌🏼
Right there with you 😭
Awww...
bawling*
Also, yes. this song has us *all* crying.
@@ShayerSUtsho Potato Patata same thing lol
When this first came out, I only had a cheap radio in my little room. I was a kid going through a lot of abuse. I was mentally unstable. Sometimes I still am, why I'm on medication, but back then I had nothing, but I had THIS. THIS. Kept me alive. It kept me from going completely insane.
September 2020 let me see how many people still listening this song one of the OLD BUT GOLD songs ❤️
btw I'm from Philippines fan ❤️🇵🇭
Bro I will always be here any year.
Hello po
@@ray1ashwin same
Still love em from St.louis Mo ✌
Ako din. Isa sa mga favorite ko e
This is real music from the heart. everything on the radio now is superficial and boring. this hits everybody's soul.
jericho cunningham true that man. I wish music like this would dominate the mainstream once more. it's gotten a little better since the complete shit era of late 15 to early 16 but still nowhere near as good as this
Silence yourself
Ya ever think maybe it's trying to tell you something? Idk why the whole world bows down and accepts the abuse. The signs are everywhere.
alex Jackson I believe this song is telling me something and I relate to this
a little unwell in 2024, still have to keep fighting!
You got this !
Hugs
"Hold on, feels like I'm headed for a breakdown...and I don't know why."
Anxiety and depression are no joke. 😥
You can physically feel the breakdowns coming
@@LionsArch yes you can. It's a horrible feeling. But, we get through.
As someone who suffers from Anxiety and Panic Attacks, the scariest part was them happening and had no idea what was going on. I was in the barbershop getting a haircut. Had my first full blown panic attack during the haircut, got taken to the emergency room with half a haircut. I can look back now and laugh at it, but still feel the panic like it was yesterday.
Not at all.
Hold on to hope. It's always darkest before the dawn 🕊️
All these young legends mentioning how they are suddenly feeling this song after years of growing, imagine how the older generation felt during the time. They are he ones that felt it and requested it so often. The youth is not the only generation to enjoy music. Remember that. But damn this made me feel a little more alive!
Yeah same here!
Crazy bro older people really do know som
At 30 I'm not sure where I fit lol. I adore rob thomas and have always loved his lyrics so so much. I've always connected with them. When I'm feeling weird or down, rob thomas is my fix ♡
I can’t believe this song is 19 years old! Wow. Do I feel old. It definitely was one of my fave songs and when it first came out it really hit home with my depression. And So I’d be the ‘older generation’ you speak of 🤭😁 ha ha.
Hey River I get you. Those youngsters don’t know what the hell they’re talking about. Yup, age definitely makes you more insightful. Especially if you have lived as a teen in 70’s.
Two decades ago this masterpiece made its way to the music scene. This band was definitely innovating.
I Love Rob Thomas!!thanks for your songs..
Am I the only one who loves the faint electric guitar in the background?
No, it gives off the right vibe. I feel like it makes Rob's lyrics more prominent.
You're not the only one
Nope.
Yep it's great for the ambiance, they were really well produced and i dont think ppl will appreciate it for another couple decades. He really put his all into his voice and inflections, i wish more people appreciated that in their music.
where?
I don't care what anyone says...this was a great band. I'd kill to have honest artists like this in our current music scene.
There are still a lot of artists like this. Just try and discover music outside of the Top 40. Lots of great stuff is still being made. :)
joji
There are a few. Try Lou Doillon.
This is my favorite song by them its a soundtrack to my life.
RB not really
One of the best singer songwriters of his generation
Forsure. Hes a legend a genius. And a lover
Rob thomas.
@@ellosmile Definitely a lover👠😇💕
rudeboymon 100% agree!!!!
Absolutely
this was the BEST era EVER.We were young and cool!!!! we had technology without social media
I am older so I favor the 70's as far as music but this is the 2nd best musical era IMO.
Actually cell phones came out around then. My ex had one and I thought it was so pretentious!
The 80s was the best Era. The 90s and 2000's SUCKED MAJOR AS8
80s fashion is some of the worst shit to ever exist 😂
As a guy who grew up with depression whose coping mechanism is self harm and bruising, I’ve always interpreted the line: “i’ve been talking in my sleep. Pretty soon they’ll come to get me. Yeah, they’re taking me away” as my demons getting and winning over me. It’s debilitating and makes me contemplate doing it at times. I know i’m winning because i’m still here, no matter what the circumstances are. And i’m glad anyone who is reading is here too.
PS. I’ve commented here because i’ve never been able to vent to anyone
Your comment seriously reached my heart and I couldn't relate more to your words as well. ❤ From one stranger to another, it's people like yourself who have helped me stay stronger every minute, hour, day, year, etc; Because I am sure-without a doubt- you still and continue to persevere on days where you have probably cried, screamed, prayed, worked, or whatever it may be just to cope and keep some hope. 🙏Continue to keep fighting, and never let a day pass where those demons make you forget your own personal strength and courage you have carried. If you need anyone, I am happy to be even a listening ear if you wish, given I have never truly had anyone as well, much less real friends. 😔 Anyways, not to ramble, but having had something draw me back to this song, I found your comment and just thought I'd pass along my own positive affirmations and empathy. Keep kicking ass, friend. ✊🏻🌈❤
I know we're just an internet stranger but I want you to know that we are here to listen.
We love you bro, We're in this together.
I’ll be praying for you. Keep fighting my friend 💪
My friend we are reading and all i can say is hold on. You can do it, you can beat any demons infesting you.
You'll never be forgotten
And yeah, you can't vent to anyone coz they'd say that they understand you but they'll never will unless they experience the same hell. No matter how good their intentions, telling someone your problems is easier to say than do.
Fun fact. Rob Thomas's parents are my neighbors, literally next door to me. His dad is awesome and comes over to speak every now and then.
@Rand I'm dead serious. No need to lie about something so small. But his dad has taken me into the house and shown me robs trophies and family pictures. He loves talking about rob. I always want to ask him to call rob so I can speak to him. But I never do. I dont want to be another aggravating fan ya know. So im just grateful for getting to speak to his dad and see the stuff his dad shows me
@@james-sw2yc my family has a few celebrity friends as well like Billy Joel and other various ones but tbh Billy Joel was the only one I knew before knowing we were family friends with him. I think many people overlook that celebrities are people too and have a life outside the screens. For example, Billy Joel goes for bagels every Wednesday with my uncle ever since he donated to the museum my uncle is secretary for. Ofc in long Island. I haven't met him personally yet to which I'm kind of sad about but like you I don't want to be one of those pestering fans. He's my uncle's friend, not mine, I do wish I could meet him but naturally, not by asking.
Fun fact
People make up stupid lies for attention on the internet
@@user-yr7ie9kt4i fun fact its the actual truth tho. And honestly dont care if someome believes me or not. I could prove it if I really wanted to. I have 0 subscribers and my RUclips channel is old as sh*t I don't need any attention. Just figured I'd share my story
@@james-sw2yc Ignore those people who don't believe you. It was nice knowing your experience with his parents! Especially his dad.
Been trying to survive since 2008..... I'm still here 😮.... thanks matchbox 20
❤
This masterpiece definitely deserves more views. It is so underrated.
Idiot its not underrated. You obviously werent alive when this was played in every radio station frequently.
This song just makes me feel a human being. I am not perfect, just a human being. Thank you Rob.
Depression is
Not an attitude,
Nothing that a change of mind can cure.
I silently rage
Against myself
Everyday.
I stay alive for them,
Not me.
But maybe
Someday soon,
I hope,
I will enjoy something,
Anything,
Again.
Maybe,
Someday soon,
I will want to live
Again.
Listening to this song makes me feel a little less lonely, a little more understood, a little more hopeful. Very few songs have impacted me as much as this one has.
I feel you that's me.
Me too man well said.
Exactly the same of me
Sandy Valdez sending love from the other side of the world :)
same.
love the song
This song helped me so much when I was suffering with my mental health, I spent 3 months in a psychiatric unit after my ex boyfriend had me sectioned purely so he wouldn't have to "deal with me anymore" as he put it. I've now been diagnosed with psychotic depression, not a nice thing but I'd listen to this song every night before meds and bed. I swear it was written for me!
+Anna Fackey I hope u doing well right now =)
+Anna Fackey Hey Anna, I have lived experience with Bipolar Depression and love this song as well. It's funny how a lot of darkish songs can help in the wellness management of mental illness. Another classic MB20 song for the same reason is Kody. Good Luck and stay well.....Peace
+Anna Fackey god, how i have been through it aswell
Much strength, life is beautiful and keep shining and smiling!!
+Anna Fackey , my husband has put me into depression, men think women are to blame.. men are hopeless
Been dealing with cancer for 3 years now, not an easy path. it sucks! Though it made me appreciate life more and i'm grateful for everything, no worries i'm just a little Unwell. Keep safe y'all.
Jon gilbert Novelas Hold on. Because tomorrow might be good for something.

You are one of the strongest people I know! Keep fighting the good fight!

Jon gilbert Novelas Sorry about the news I started growing to Chechen tumor in 2011 from Grozny war not to mention
My long term GULF WAR illnesses from exposure to hazardous waste
This kind of music deserves a billion views.. this is so underrated..
gotta say, funny that you think your opinion is worth a billion times more then anyone else
It’s very popular song by a popular band. Opposite of underrated.
this so was famous back in time, sadly for generation today they much like s*xy song that even kids would proudly sing it
@@nhell013 Exactly the same thing the older generation said about the music in the 90's, such as this song, and how the music should be more popular, etc
accept that the next gen has their own issues that you can't relate to, as we're still dealing with our own issues and lives.
I'm pretty sure you have no idea what "underrated" means. A LOT of people know or at least heard of this song, it's popular world wide. This isn't underrated.
Here it is April 2nd 2024 and this song still doesn't seem as old as it really is and hits harder than ever.
Unwell (lyrics)
All day starin' at the ceilin' makin'
Friends with shadows on my wall
All night hearing voices tellin' me
That I should get some sleep
Because tomorrow might be good for somethin'
Hold on, feelin' like I'm headed for a breakdown
And I don't know why
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be, me
I'm talkin' to myself in public, dodging glances on the train
And I know, I know they've all been talkin' about me
I can hear them whisper, and it makes me think
There must be somethin' wrong with me
Out of all the hours thinkin', somehow I've lost my mind
But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be
I've been talkin' in my sleep
Pretty soon they'll come to get me
Yeah, they're takin' me away
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell
I know, right now you can't tell
But stay a while and maybe then you'll see
A different side of me
I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
I know, right now you don't care
But soon enough you're gonna think of me
And how I used to be yeah, how I used to be
How I used to be
How I used to be
Well, I'm just a little unwell
How I used to be
How I used to be
I'm just a little unwell...
bigode alongado na cintura fina

I hope this will be over soon
Every job interview..
He must be talking about meth… lol
Mental illness is a living hell to live & suffer in silence with, this song has great insight. I wish people wouldn't judge so soon once you tell them & try to understand. Noone understands until it's too late sometimes, sad but true.
If you get the right meds then your all good. I have schizophrenia, EUPD, MDD and also severe anxiety but now Im on the right meds im back to my old self. Dont suffer in silence
Chef Cleland Thank you, I appreciate your kind words & support. ♥
Rob Thomas is so amazing, I've been a huge fan for many years his songs hit hard to the heart. Very grateful for him & his music. His music helps heal the broken, he is a light in this dark cold world.
If I tell my doctor I'm suffering from a mental illness his respond will be stop taking drugs SMH some Don't want to help people with mental illnesses some Don't even want to notice most people will just smile & laugh in your face saying you will be okay
Stephany Feliciano
It's tough but there are compassionate doctors out there. Do an online search and read reviews( Google). Often times you won't know til you see them face to face but, if the first visit doesn't go well you don't have to continue seeing them.
When I finally got a diagnosis, the specialist I saw didn't seem to care. I was able to schedule my next appointment with another doctor at the same office. Some places will allow that, others won't. But you don't have to see anyone that makes you feel bad about yourself.
Song brings me to tears. How does this song relate to so many people?!?!?!

Prisoned in a constant state of confusion, bound by ASD, caged by OCD, being whipped by PTSD, and locked up by manic depression, serving a life sentence. This is completely and utterly me.
Missing my husband-ten years now😞🙏👊💞
@@kenroy916 I love this! Most true quote ever! I hate the way society works. Everyone spends most of their lives working at a job they hate just so they can survive. No one gets enough time to truly live and find happiness. I wish things could be different. :(
Every time I feel depressed, down, and want to go back to the 90's, this song is my go to
Imma 2000's kid but if I was your age I'd do the same, hope ya doing well 💯❤️🩹🎉
None of us are crazy, we are just a little unwell. For anyone who's walking thru the dark right now, keep going, you will come out the other side. X
God Bless You and Thank You.
Rob is such an underrated singer and songwriter
You wrote this comment while you were drunk, right ?
Not underrated, he is the singer of famous song "Smooth" picked up by Santana
@@jhkoh4355 right? Shits still number one of all time on billboard charts right?
Not underated but not apriciated
So true!!!
I miss hearing Matchbox Twenty on the radio too 💗 Rob Thomas with his shaggy hair and kind eyes...🥰 will always love this group 💗
Blondie Seeker This song play on one of my local radio stations all the time 98.5 WTFM
@Cabalen Entertainment and the other attacks with that one drug or whatever was going on and people were just paranoid. I think societies only gotten worse and worse tbh.

I'm glad that we have have positive comments on depression on here. But some should keep the negative comments to themselves.
