Springsteen should be honored. This guy is a legend on his own. Only Canadian to win blues challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Outplays his venues every time
He's a blues player. The only Canadian to win the blues challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Those old timers should be honored he's doing their cover. This is coming from someone who grew up with an old man who made us appreciate the classics. ACDC, Zeppelin, The Stones, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Dylan, the Band, the list is endless. You probably grew up in the music age. Kids of the late 80s and further grew up in the video then internet age. You had the best music we had the best videos. Music is so manufactured now it's the same 3 choruses, same 3 mins length, and same songs repeated over and over again. Take away the electronics and give em a mic and see how well their voice sounds. Matt Andwrsen is pure talent
eminem tried to tell the kids, he knows, it is the moment, JUST loose it, BTW i am closer to 50 then 40, I love all good music, when the musician lets their soul bare and lets me in to their love and communication.
My favorite example of this is the classical pianist Daniil Trifonov. Before he starts a piece his body relaxes and it looks like he becomes possessed. There is a recording where he plays all Op. 25 Etüden of Chopin in one sitting where you can see what I mean. And nobody plays those pieces better in my opinion. It sounds like his entire soul is captured in his playing.
Omg!!! Who is this guy? Holy SHIT!!!!!! Shivers 4:10!!! This is exactly why I comb through RUclips videos... because I find hiden treasures like these!
@@TheMasterblaster32 damn man, blows my mind that people haven't heard Matt before. The number of times I've seen this guy live...makes me wonder what music I haven't discovered yet
I would consider myself pretty tough. I am a big Navajo/Cholo who has been around. I stumbled upon this song just barely and I hate to admit it, but I started to cry when I heard this. I don't know why. I have never really done that. I stopped what I was doing and listened. Tears just began to stream down. I was a little shocked. Great job man. You have a new fan.
That's the incredible power of music. I've heard this song a million times by many different artists, including myself, and also myself whilst jamming with other folks, and every single time it wets my cheeks and down my shirt.
Someone might not be that tough after all…but even the hardest need to let off some pressure at some point. Takes a real person to be open about it though. Perhaps youre tougher than you think.
Ye man ah’ a pa Huele……just when you think you’re the biggest and baddest…….something a gentle as a song can bring you to your knees. Strength is knowing our weakness and being able to know tenderness can become our strength.
I saw him perform about a year ago. He did a set with the New Brunswick Symphony Orchestra. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck and tears were running down my cheeks. He was that incredible. The only way I could describe his performance was that he CONSUMED the guitar. Strings were breaking and he still kept ripping the notes from it. PLEASE go see him if you get a chance.
I’ve followed Matt since Stainers Warf, when he was grinding away in Halifax and the Maritimes. Its 2019 and I am sitting by the camp fire watching this video proudly. He is worth every penny if you get the chance to watch him live!
Man your my most favorite ever im only 18 an have been listening to you since I was 9 I look up to you your my hero you deserve more respect than what you get big man
You Goooo Matt....Show them what us Atlantic Canadians can do. I remember the day i 1st saw you on Breakfast Television,,,i missed my drive to work cus i had to watch you....well worth it. BRAVO!!!!!!!
Saw him in Vancouver a few months ago and still can't get his voice and presence out of my mind. He owned that stage, every one is the audience came alive when he was performing - but he has an incredibly humble spirit and generosity. I was like "holy shit - who is this guy" - he is like a superhero, he's incognito, he is so many things it is hard to put into words...
well never in a million years would i have thought anyone could make this song better than the original....but whew he took it and made it absolutely even more incredible! was already a fav song of mine, but now........wowwwwwwwww! wowwww! this man has such a huge career ahead of him!absolutely loved this far more than i could even begin to find words for! anybody that has not heard this man sure should!!
Been lucky enough to see this guy 3 times in my local vlllage hall here in north east Scotland only because his cousin lives here and he plays when he’s over from Canada or wherever he’s touring..... you have to see him play to experience how good he is. I’ve reluctantly dragged a few non blues fans with us on the last two occasions and watched their jaws hit the deck in awe . He’s so humble when you speak to him as well!
I will simply say this about u Mr Anderson, U are a wonderful singer. I am sooooo glad I searched for wagon wheel n came across u!!!! An amazing talent my darlin. Loved your performance. and just a great sing for sure.
saw him twice in 2010 and he just sold me totally... a weekend at the Mariposa folk festival in Orillia and he wowed the audience all three days... the man just stirs my soul
I was stunned when I played this the first time, just absolutely damned stunned. Hit my soul like nothing I've heard in a long long time. Somebody get this guy in a studio!
Drop D Tuning Start - D - Bm7 - D (Repeat how ever many times you want) First 2 Verses - D - G - Bm7 - G - A - D (x2) Last 2 Verses - G - Bm7 - D - G - Bm7 - G - {A - D}-repeat 2X Fill in how ever you wish with cross-picking or strumming. It all sounds good on this song.
just came on to listen to Bruce sing this song. and what do you know. Here is Matt Andersen. I"m sitting in the house of the people that promote him. ... random... What a voice. This guy will be a true legend.
Yes agree true beauty really does come from the soul appealing to us on an emotional level, bringing tears in its presence; the physical pleasures seeming mute and shallow in comparison. Makes me think singing and music is a great gift to mankind to be experienced and felt. I love his voice, the range the emotion; he takes us on a different journey in each song.
Bro'....I gotta say. I absolutely hate Springstein like a pimple on a hemorrhoid but my God brother, you can sing!! That is absolutely haunting and you ARE the music! WOW!!! How are you not on the big screen bro??? I've never in my life seen or witnessed ANYBODY who was so much the entire thing....your pipes, your passion, your emotion, your music, your story, your song...YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR!!! A great friend of mine, Clint introduced me to your music a couple weeks back when he saw you in Kingston. My wife and I are definitely coming to see you next time Matt, you're a real treat to listen to, THANKS!
I listen to this song every day after work and it still gives me goosebumbs! love love love love love it! I would like to thank your parents for the gift they gave the world!
Hey listen, never ever be ashamed to get emotional over a song. Artists such as Matt put so much emotion into a song you can't help but to get caught up in it and get taken to a different place in your soul. Let the tears fall man, it's free therapy! Haha.
@Max Joseph I have to disagree, sure he had hits such as Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run that are played on radio stations every day, but it only takes listening to tracks such as The River and Thunder Road to get that "depth" you're looking for. He was never the best singer or guitarist but his lyrics and the way he delivers them are believable and soulful.
He is truly a national treasure... saw him earlier this year in concert and yesterday afternoon with Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe. Absolutely amazing.
SO wonderful to see 'that grin' on a musician's face.. when every note is just perfect and he knows he puts a spell on his audience! Not at all uncommon for Matt :)
I have this feeling ol boy sat at home practicing every night.....longing about someone while learning this.... and be damn if he didn't become the song and you can feel the rush and anguish in this.....beautiful!!!
I think this guy is fabulous. Thank goodness for RUclips. There are so many great artists on here that I would never have discovered otherwise. I know I have bought many artist's music because of this medium.
It’s been ten years, and somehow I always seem to find my way back to this song. Thanks for keeping it here.
Same here
triple samsies. Reminds me of when I was in college. 2009-2013
same...
It was nice of that Springsteen fella to write this song for this guy. Shows the stars do care.
That's the first thing I think of when I think of Bruce Springstein...just a real nice guy. Captain UnAmerican
Well played Sir! Well played.
Right
Springsteen should be honored. This guy is a legend on his own. Only Canadian to win blues challenge in Memphis Tennessee. Outplays his venues every time

this voice is a goosebump machine
I love how he goes off into another place altogether when he performs. This is what they mean by losing yourself in the music.
A good musician just gets lost in a song, find the meaning of it and carry it to the audience. :D
eminem tried to tell the kids, he knows, it is the moment, JUST loose it, BTW i am closer to 50 then 40, I love all good music, when the musician lets their soul bare and lets me in to their love and communication.
never know, ..could be Matt, could be dylan, or the stones, metallica or m&m. good music, key to the soul.
My favorite example of this is the classical pianist Daniil Trifonov. Before he starts a piece his body relaxes and it looks like he becomes possessed. There is a recording where he plays all Op. 25 Etüden of Chopin in one sitting where you can see what I mean. And nobody plays those pieces better in my opinion.

same ha!
Ha few years back I started listening to Chris Stapleton... Now this big chaps popped up, ya some new music for me. 😁
I wish there was a word to describe hearing or finding something that you didn't know was EXACTLY what you wanted or needed.
@@TheMasterblaster32 damn man, blows my mind that people haven't heard Matt before. The number of times I've seen this guy live...makes me wonder what music I haven't discovered yet
@@akillersandwich8360 lol Yip definitely bud, and I'm sure they'll be tons you haven't discovered yet lol.

After a decade of listening to this cover, it still opens up my soul in a way no other performance can. Thank you for this, Matty.
Same here. Been listening to it and showing it to people for 10+ years. It really is a musical masterpiece that's worth treasuring.
I saw him perform about a year ago. He did a set with the New Brunswick Symphony Orchestra. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck and tears were running down my cheeks. He was that incredible. The only way I could describe his performance was that he CONSUMED the guitar. Strings were breaking and he still kept ripping the notes from it. PLEASE go see him if you get a chance.
this song has been my fucking obsession for years and i've never heard a cover i've liked except this one.
Million thumbs up!
Listen to, "In Bloom by Sturgill Simpson."
lol i meant a cover of this specific song but i'll still check that out, thnx!
wait i've that before- it's an awesome cover!
Have you heard the Chromatics version? It's solid.
This is why I comb through RUclips. To hear artist such as this. AMAZING!!!!!!!!
you should see him live dude - 10X more amazing
Me too Timothy!
yep me to never know what your going to find
I’ve followed Matt since Stainers Warf, when he was grinding away in Halifax and the Maritimes. Its 2019 and I am sitting by the camp fire watching this video proudly. He is worth every penny if you get the chance to watch him live!
Dude...THAT rendition is f’ing INCREDIBLE!! Way to make the song your own. I listened to it 7 times in a row. Outstanding.
anytime you hear a dude howling like a wolf in a song its awesome...he really means that shit hes singing
Yay!!! I feel lucky to hear this guy sing. Shivers. And that howling!! :)
Man your my most favorite ever im only 18 an have been listening to you since I was 9 I look up to you your my hero you deserve more respect than what you get big man

I’m literally hanging on every note you sing ..... blow you away amazing. More please.
2:10 - 3:10 goosebumps man. My goodness. What a voice and soul
Been lucky enough to see this guy 3 times in my local vlllage hall here in north east Scotland only because his cousin lives here and he plays when he’s over from Canada or wherever he’s touring..... you have to see him play to experience how good he is.

I will simply say this about u Mr Anderson, U are a wonderful singer. I am sooooo glad I searched for wagon wheel n came across u!!!! An amazing talent my darlin. Loved your performance. and just a great sing for sure.
Unbelievable! I could listen to him sing for hours.
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS???
Improper use of internet lingo.
WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY!!!
I'm broke nigga, I'm broke
Good Family Guy reference
Take my money
This is amazing. Blasting it on the stereo right now. million dollar vocal. so natural. so gifted.
met him on my plane a few years ago on our way bac k to Halifax. best version of this song ever
It never fails, no matter how often I listen to this cover, I get chills and goosebumps.
It brings tears to my eyes and makes my hair stand on end. I can only imagine hearing you live. Come to Atlanta, brother.
saw him twice in 2010 and he just sold me totally... a weekend at the Mariposa folk festival in Orillia and he wowed the audience all three days... the man just stirs my soul
Had a friend show me this guy recently and was instantly hooked. I wish I could see him live sometime, but he's not touring anywhere close to me.
How can you not like this?
Best version of this song. Amazing
Amazing. Matt can out whooo whooo anyone including the Boss on the original recording of this song. Love this version.
I was stunned when I played this the first time, just absolutely damned stunned. Hit my soul like nothing I've heard in a long long time. Somebody get this guy in a studio!
The legend himself Matt Andersen
Nice arrangement. Plus a ton of soul. Great job.
Wow, this gets better and better every time I listen to it. What passion
So good to find someone new, specially when you find someone this good
Drop D Tuning
Start - D - Bm7 - D (Repeat how ever many times you want)
First 2 Verses - D - G - Bm7 - G - A - D (x2)
Last 2 Verses - G - Bm7 - D - G - Bm7 - G - {A - D}-repeat 2X

Omg this song. This guy. So good. Red heads so much passion
God dammit I want a recording of this right now
Wow, you are seriously amazing!
This is a beautiful man with a beautiful voice. This gave me chills. Wow... I'm just ridiculously impressed.
just came on to listen to Bruce sing this song. and what do you know. Here is Matt Andersen. I"m sitting in the house of the people that promote him. ... random... What a voice. This guy will be a true legend.
Its good when it makes you cry. This handsome man is pure soul! Wish songs like this would play on the radio instead of this weird rap stuff.
Yes agree true beauty really does come from the soul appealing to us on an emotional level, bringing tears in its presence; the physical pleasures seeming mute and shallow in comparison. Makes me think singing and music is a great gift to mankind to be experienced and felt. I love his voice, the range the emotion; he takes us on a different journey in each song.
Damo couldnt have said that any better, agreed.
Bree Romero you all should listen to Meatloaf. He is the modern day Meatloaf. But I give the edge to Meatloaf.
Amen Damo!
Bree Romero I don't know where you're located in the world but they at his songs on CBC radio 2
Bro'....I gotta say. I absolutely hate Springstein like a pimple on a hemorrhoid but my God brother, you can sing!! That is absolutely haunting and you ARE the music! WOW!!! How are you not on the big screen bro??? I've never in my life seen or witnessed ANYBODY who was so much the entire thing....your pipes, your passion, your emotion, your music, your story, your song...YOU'RE A SUPERSTAR!!! A great friend of mine, Clint introduced me to your music a couple weeks back when he saw you in Kingston. My wife and I are definitely coming to see you next time Matt, you're a real treat to listen to, THANKS!
+Ted Nicholl couldnt have put it any better myself.
You got that right Ted
I love your Music sole music... Im a big fan
Wow!!!!!! Amazing!!!!! The best yet! ♥️♥️👏👏👏👏👏
Brilliant vocals!! Like a deep soulful meatloaf!
The Boss himself would be proud you covered his song as well as you did.
Matt Anderson was my breakthrough artist into country music and I'm incredibly grateful for him and his music.
Just bagged me 2 tickets to see this genius in June just outside Cardiff, Wales.. So, so excited to see him live..
Man is still on fire April 2018
countryboy0717 can confirm is still flaming April 2019
Not a fan of covers but he does a great job on this. Been watching for years.
One of my All-Time-Fav Songs. And he does it brilliant
what a voice he has, makes me sit still and listen...thank you for sharing your voice with us Matt Andersen:)
This man FEELS the MUSIC!!
Who would ever give him thumbs down? Really though.
Never heard this man before. I’m glad I have now
This is nothing less than excellent. Omg. ❤️ Loving that I found this guy! Beautiful!!!
this man is a god.
The lyrics are seriously disturbing...only an artist this great could make this song so amazing. GREAT JOB!
I just close my eyes and listen...and listen again...and again...and again...
I listen to this song every day after work and it still gives me goosebumbs! love love love love love it! I would like to thank your parents for the gift they gave the world!
holy talent
I really like that he slowed down the song, but speeding it up to 1.25 is perfect.
Caleb Rotton thanks for that hahaha didnt even think of it good pointing it out
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!! What is a gift it was to stumble on Matt's music tonight!
Hey listen, never ever be ashamed to get emotional over a song. Artists such as Matt put so much emotion into a song you can't help but to get caught up in it and get taken to a different place in your soul. Let the tears fall man, it's free therapy! Haha.
Bruce Springstein himself would NOT dislike this.
He might even like it.
@Max Joseph I have to disagree, sure he had hits such as Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run that are played on radio stations every day, but it only takes listening to tracks such as The River and Thunder Road to get that "depth" you're looking for. He was never the best singer or guitarist but his lyrics and the way he delivers them are believable and soulful.
Bruce might even have to whip it out and mix a batch after seeing this.
Max Joseph, I think you’ve not been paying attention. Listen again, not to just the top 10s. For you brother, for real.
V. B. Let’s give him “One word “- Backstreets, give it a spin
holy smokes this guy kills it
fantastic to watch how into the music he is. Just feelin it and just lovin it
He is truly a national treasure... saw him earlier this year in concert and yesterday afternoon with Stuart McLean and The Vinyl Cafe. Absolutely amazing.
SO wonderful to see 'that grin' on a musician's face.. when every note is just perfect and he knows he puts a spell on his audience! Not at all uncommon for Matt :)
fabulous voice
Met this man in the back hall at work one year, told him I was looking for this performance for 5 years!
Watching you for years ❤
pure soul angel from heaven
12 years later and still one of my favorite covers of any song ever!
I have this feeling ol boy sat at home practicing every night.....longing about someone while learning this.... and be damn if he didn't become the song and you can feel the rush and anguish in this.....beautiful!!!
First time I've ever been absolutely blowing away by a voice
So awesome man.
This guy has "IT" in spades.
Oh MY !!! i LOVE IT ! thank you thank you ❤🇬🇷
Whoa. Amazing voice. Gave me chills. Officially the best cover
I've been trying for years... Can't come close.
wow man this guy can sing!!!
I haven't seen this much passion in a long, long time. Speechless and completely blown away.
I think this guy is fabulous. Thank goodness for RUclips. There are so many great artists on here that I would never have discovered otherwise. I know I have bought many artist's music because of this medium.
I want to make another account just to like this again.
and that's how you fuckin do it !
This right here is actually one of my favourite songs ever. This particular performance right here. Wonderful!
Great man you made my night we search for good music constantly tonight I found it thank you.
