Be honest....this wasn't a recommended RUclips viewing.....you remembered how awesomely pure and simple this song is and you searched for it....because you're a legend 💪🏽
Saw Matthew Sweet on this tour at The Beacon Theater in NYC in 1991(?) with The Indigo Girls (they had the same manager). They sold out several consecutive nights and I went and saw at least 4 of the shows. This lineup of Sweet's band was INCREDIBLE! One of the best live touring bands I've ever seen and they played the song lineup from the Girlfriend album just flawlessly. Oh, the great 90s memories when bands were up and coming a mile a minute. What a fabulous time to be alive and to be a music fan!
I remember thinking how great this song sounded when it came out. Now I realize that it would have sounded great 20 years earlier or 20 years later and beyond. Timeless rock.
Shoutout to Buichi Terasawa, the creator of Space Adventure COBRA, who passed away 3 weeks ago. Without him we wouldn’t have this awesome music video to begin with.
I'm 58 and have fond memories of the 90s music scene and I remember when this tune dropped. I also have fond memories of playing this song on Guitar Hero on my PS2.
Same here for me. I enjoyed learning to play this song on Guitar Hero. I was in high school when this video came out and kept wondering what cartoon was this from. I finally saw Space Adventure Cobra last night and it's pretty cool and worth checking out.
80s ruled, but 90s was a great decade too. Matthew Sweet, Spacehog and Tal Bachman, Duncan Sheik, Tasmin Archer, Paula Cole, Dishwalla, Gin Blossoms, Collective Soul, Tonic. Who else???
Yup, first time I saw it was the night Boyz n the Hood came out. Stayed up to watch mtv that Saturday night and my world was forever changed as an 8 year old.
Did the 90's have Bowie, Eno, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Marc Bolan, Isaac Hayes, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello, the Clash and the Jam? I could go on all day. No? Oh, that was 70's. I guess you were just growing up and listening to Blur.
I remember watching MTV in the early/mid 90s at like 2am and getting so excited when this, Metallica's unforgiven, the breeder's cannonball, anything by the offspring...the 90s were such a good time for music...
Used to have a truck driving gig in southwestern Virginia overnight, near Blacksburg, the DJ must have loved this song. Heard it EVERY night for about 6 months back in the day. Still like this one.
That crazy lick at 2:11 - 2:16 is Robert Quine showing you what only great guitarists do, play the soulful notes that make both the song and the solo bigger.
I heard a new song on the radio, got home, found the video on RUclips, and then exclaimed _"14 years ago!?!?"_ It finally happened, mom! The music thing! I get why you thought the Beatles were coming back now!
I remembered the tune of this song from 90s and spent years searching “somebody to love 90s song” and “need you back in my arms” etc and never could find it! I finally decided to hum it into the google app and with an 8% match I FINALLY FOUND THE SONG! I love this track brings back the 90s when i was growing up !!! Great times
I remember browsing through Tower Records on Sunset and coming across this CD. The beautiful Tuesday Weld on the cover was what caught my eye but then I listened to a few tracks and purchased it immediately. I drove around LA all afternoon with this blasting. It was a perfect day then and this album is still one of my favorites.
Incredible guitar work by the late Robert Quine, who had the innate ability to lay down the pyrotechnics and push it to the absolute limits whilst (tastefully) staying within the confines of the Power Pop genre. In the hands of a lesser guitarist, this could have easily descended into mindless guitar wankery, but in Quine's hands it is absolutely sublime.
I grew uo with Matt. We smoked a lot of weed, back in Lincoln NE. Not much else to do but grow more and make music. Really nice guy--one of the rich kids with a ton of talent. We all had his cassettes--I liked the song about China.
Social media allow people to call other people names and insult them, too, instead arguing like an adult. People put their e-muscles on, and call people "dumb", and "dick", things like that.
This stands up as one of the best power pop albums of the 90's, let alone of all time. The crunch, lyricism, and energy of every song on Girlfriend stands the test of time and will continue to find new fans for generations.
Matthew Sweet was one of those rare 90’s artists that was superbly talented and really escaped any genre by pure originality. No gimmick just great music. His music has stood the test of time.
One of the most underrated musicians of the 90's. It's insane that this video only has 384k views in 2017... This is CD is gold people. Back when you bought "albums" and not songs on itunes. This is in my top 5 albums of all time, period.
An Irony, I guess -- You can buy the Girlfriend album in its entirety on iTunes. I did, but I'd like a physical copy too if I can find one so I can jam out in my car (I've only managed to find two of his CDs locally).
Absolutely, and probably one of the reasons I even wanted to play the drums. I remember hearing it and being blown away. John Bohnam had the same effect.
Nate Balcerak Hmmm, quite an aggressive response for a basic comment. Certainly a surprise from a simpleton. Touch a nerve did I? You’re not gonna get far in life without constant official hassles and stress if that’s all it takes to get you going. I barely critiqued & did say I liked it. Methinks ur a boring predictable pussy hiding behind his monitor that can’t help getting worked up over fuck all🙄 Whatever you say I won’t bother reading bc like I said: it’ll be predictable and show ur the sort of child that simply MUST get the last word in. This is all of the time I’m willing to waste on you. Piss off, Nancy boy😹🖕🏼
Matthew Sweet is one of those guys who you think you're just discovering every time he puts out something popular, but he's been around forever. I remember this song vividly from the 90's, but he pops up all over the place over time.
Man - the drums sound so great on this - all room! I remember hearing it on my crappy car radio and even then I could tell it sounded totally different to everything else.
He makes the song, basically. There's not much of a song outside that guitar. (No disrespect to Mathew Sweet, a fine songwriter who's written other great songs.) But Quine takes those bare bones and turns them into genius. Truly great work.
Saw him live and he's one hell of a guitarist. The place was packed in the 90's but too bad you never hear of him anymore. He ALWAYS has his car on stage with him too...Very different
I love the music but also love the incorperation of Space Adventure COBRA! This should/ could be used for an amazing live action movie version! Matthew Sweet clearly loved this anime! And his song really does it justice!

Saw the video for this late one night on MTV (prob 1993) and heard the song for the first time. It melted into my brain and I ran out next day and bought the CD. Been a fan ever since. Girlfriend is a desert island album - essential listening.
Every now and then, a song is just perfect. If I had no Idea who it was, I would record it and keep close. Believe it or not, Eric Johnson said he wrote "most of" Cliffs of Dover in one try. If you love guitar you know, that is a perfect song. I wanted to smack him but, God bless him for being so amazing.
I like throwin this at friends since im ALWAYS the "DJ" when we sit around & get hammered I figure my friends know A LOT more stuff from the 90's than most...
Huge fan of the Space Adventure Cobra movie, and it’s all thanks to this amazing film clip. When I saw it on video I instantly recognised it and had to rent it.
Hitched a ride w/ a pal from Michigan State to northern Michigan in 1992 in his brown Ford F-100. He played this for the whole 220 miles at 55 mph. I haven’t spoken to him since.
This song stays tattooed deep into my brain and scratches it's way to the surface 2-3 times a year, if not more. Never realized it's basically just a Steve Miller song lol. Nothing wrong with that tho, probably why I love it
I think I was actually passing by a department store in a mall and saw this video playing on a TV and was mesmerized. I don't know if I ever saw it again but I never forgot it.

Heard this song ONCE on MTVs 120 Minutes back in the 90s, stuck ever since.
Worth it.
I've always loved this song. Since the early 90's. 808 state too
Holy shnikes!! Get out of my head!!!
Truth
This entire album is incredible... one of the rare albums without a single "meh" song. That's some rarefied company.
I still listen to it at least once a month for old time's sake - it has aged remarkably well - I think it's Matthew's best work!

Incredibly talented artist. Sadly underrated. Absolutely brilliant.

This album was huge.
Not to insult you, but today I hear so and so is 'under rated'. By who? All the people who knew what was up knew Matt's work. 'Ratings' what is that?
@@darrinsiberia Hes worked with several artist for the span of his career who are you to say what is deserved and isnt?
You mean to say underappreciated. Sharpen up!
I've been listening to this since '91 and the song is absolutely timeless......one of my all time favorites.
i am so privileged to have been in my teens/20s in the 90s. post USSR pre 9/11. good times good times.
Likewise ❤
Gospel. I almost wish I could bonk my head and forever just relive the 90s. Lemme waste away in bliss.
I'll never not keep coming back to this jam, and this album, on the regular. Freakin' bliss.

Chas Winwood omg I had no idea this was Quine, he’s so underrated
I always thought that was the amazing Ivan Julian that played that.
Blistering bluesy & ballsy
Indeed, nice guitar work by Robert Quine 🤘😎
Great call.
I discovered this song, way back when in the early nineties on late night MTV. Still love it.
Oh man Back when MTV had music worth catching, late night or otherwise.......damn!
MTV played music🎶🎵👏?
Couldnt find him ANYWHERE for the lingest time!!!
Yup, first time I saw it was the night Boyz n the Hood came out. Stayed up to watch mtv that Saturday night and my world was forever changed as an 8 year old.

I Suspect...For The Next Few Hundred Yrs..The 90'S Will Be Remembered As One Of The Best Era's Of Music.
Justifiably So.
Did the 90's have Bowie, Eno, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Marc Bolan, Isaac Hayes, Bob Marley, Elvis Costello, the Clash and the Jam? I could go on all day.
No? Oh, that was 70's. I guess you were just growing up and listening to Blur.
The nerd in me loves the video but the song itself has to be one the greatest rock songs of all time. Just flawless.
I remember watching MTV in the early/mid 90s at like 2am and getting so excited when this, Metallica's unforgiven, the breeder's cannonball, anything by the offspring...the 90s were such a good time for music...

I know absolutely nothing about guitars, but I listened to that part you recommended and I realized that this was my best part.
Matt Sweet is highly underrated. So many good tracks.
kkkk
Almost every song on the Girlfriend album is pure gold
I heard this song for the first time on Sirius XM today and thought it was new. Talk about textbook definition of "timeless!" I love it!
It is definitely timeless!
Absolutely.
Haha,,awesome . Where where you when this came out?.?
I heard a new song on the radio, got home, found the video on RUclips, and then exclaimed _"14 years ago!?!?"_
It finally happened, mom! The music thing! I get why you thought the Beatles were coming back now!
Robert Quine is one of the greatest electric guitarists that few people have ever heard of.
Who?
Love him. Love Richard Hell and the Voidoids.
When I saw him in the 90's with Robert on guitar, my lame boyfriend who had horrible taste left raving about the amazing guitar player. 🤘
I remembered the tune of this song from 90s and spent years searching “somebody to love 90s song” and “need you back in my arms” etc and never could find it! I finally decided to hum it into the google app and with an 8% match I FINALLY FOUND THE SONG! I love this track brings back the 90s when i was growing up !!! Great times

Still one of my favourite albums. This song is a summer's day; driving with the top down; stereo cranked; singing at the top of your lungs tune.
Not only was he the first to cut up an anime and put in his own music, he did it all without Windows Movie Maker.
No he wasn't.
Probably not. Can you give earlier examples?
He probably wasn't the first music artist to have a video with reused anime. Backing it up would have been nice but whatever.

Don't know where I've been, but just heard about Matthew Sweet for the first time. Outstanding.
Thee grooviest jam from the 90's man.
Definitely
Love the drum break in this song.
this is one of the coolest songs and video
That one great album that made Matthew Sweet a contender, once and for all-time…

The whole entire album is fantastic.
Anyone here from 1991 MTV?
And hey Space Adventure Cobra is a badass anime too.
agreed. such a shame these classics are so underrated among the newer generations of anime fans.
🙋
You mean, from the era of when the M in MTV stood for Music, and not Media? Oh yeah, my friend. I was there, 3000 years ago.
It's free on youtube right now.
Here from 1991, thanks for the name of the show, I never knew. You Rule!!!!
I have been listening to this song since 1992. Oldy but goody!
Never get sick of this song. Love it.Robert Quinnes guitar, Wow
This song was a hit on the radio back when I was in the 10th grade in 1991... What a lost classic!
Just ridiculously amazing. Been on repeat for decades for this unabashed superfan!!! 😎😎😎
This video was ahead of it's time. Long before everybody was making AMVs online, we had this!
The Original AMV...... 👍👍👍
Robert Quine is amazing on this track. In fact, without his guitar, I don't think this song has the same potency.
He makes the song, basically. There's not much of a song outside that guitar. (No disrespect to Mathew Sweet, a fine songwriter who's written other great songs.) But Quine takes those bare bones and turns them into genius. Truly great work.
drouhin the guitar is meat here. Good stuff.
I would give that drum solo beat an Honorable Mention though. I still start bouncing and air drumming to it every time I hear this song.
The whole album really. Quine and Lloyd are both so good.
mexojay the drum kicks, too! But, the guitar defines it!
Saw him live and he's one hell of a guitarist. The place was packed in the 90's but too bad you never hear of him anymore. He ALWAYS has his car on stage with him too...Very different
This was, is, and always will be the jam!
I remember seeing this video before school one day. It left my memory for a while and one day I googled “rock song with anime”, and here I am.
I just love Matthew Sweet!
I love the music but also love the incorperation of Space Adventure COBRA! This should/ could be used for an amazing live action movie version! Matthew Sweet clearly loved this anime! And his song really does it justice!

Throughout the 1980s, Quine made appearances as a session player on records by Tom Waits, John Zorn, Marianne Faithfull and Scritti Politti.

This is a beautiful song about a beautiful woman. Except for the last two lines, to love someone you have to be able to let them go too.
Nothin like turning into a drawing and finding your fantasy anime girl who is a REAL um, drawing. Cool riffs Matt.

There's a lot of debate, but this an absolutely iconic 90s song

Never tire of this song
Great distortion guitar work.
Great tune, rocks out, not some wimpy love song. Definitely spent his load on this one - don't know anything else by the guy
That's on you, man. You should seek his stuff out, he's amazing
I first saw this video late night on MTV back in the 90's. Even without the Space Cobra references, this song Fng rocks!
A heavier than gravity, harder than concrete, face-melting guitar masterpiece.
ALL HAIL THE INVENTOR OF THE AMV
The ultimate Matthew Sweet song!
"Not What I Needed" is something else, too.
A shame that the song does not have more views than it does, such a great sounding song.
Played this album in my Kenwood pullout CD player a minimum of 2500 times. All the way through.
I used to love MTV
This is on at least 2 of my Spotify playlists. I can't get enough of it.
Matthew Sweet had really good guitar players and really good songs, a perfect combination.
Huge fan of the Space Adventure Cobra movie, and it’s all thanks to this amazing film clip. When I saw it on video I instantly recognised it and had to rent it.
When you start a track with a guitar solo, you know it’s gonna be badass.
Great song! I saw Matthew Sweet open for Soul Asylum in 1993. Awesome show
I saw Soul Asylum in 2010 and they still put on a great show
This song deserves so much more views than this!!! Love it!!!

I was lucky enough to see Mr. Sweet perform in Philly years ago. LOUDEST show I ever saw. So much fun.
He played 9:30 Club twice on the Girlfriend tour and I saw him both times.
SO LOUD!
More volume, more joy
What a goddam great song. Whether doing donuts in a parking lot or on my way to a cookout with the top down, this tape LIVED in my car.
His music grew some Big Star-ish balls in the 90's. Nice stuff to look back on. Remember Rock and roll radio?
Always loved the guitar & drums in this song. I was 17 when this came out. Good times!
My freshman year of high school. Getting up in the morning. Turning on the TV to Mtv. There's Matthew Sweet. Let's fucking go!
One of my very first PA gigs was on this music video. Man it was ahead of its time. Memories of a rocking summer!
This video came out during my anime craze so it just fit very well. Love it.
What a delightfully 1991 acting job from Matthew.
