ohmygodOhMyGodOHMYGOD!!!

Matchbox twenty has released a new song! I am aware that it happened last week. I did hear it on the radio and I thought to myself 'that sounds like Rob Thomas.' I heard it on the radio three times today. I normally hate that, but seriously, its MB20! I can (literally) listen to them all day.

Matchbox 20 were my very first album. It was love at first listen. I've never not loved one of their songs. There are some that I love more than others. But none that I just plain like. So when I heard that they were going to be playing the new song I dropped what I was doing and went and stared at the radio.

It was so much to take in. Trying to listen to the lyrics and the melody at the same time. Trying to memorise them, the feel of how the music washed over my soul. I could feel faint vibrations through my fingertips as they rested on the bench near the radio.

This new song has an older feel to it. Its new. But when I listen to it, it feels like I'm listening to their first album. But its new as well. Its calming but energizing too. Quite the pleasurable paradox.

Bring on October 2nd.

Lyrics and video below.

*****************

I'm waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But its feeling just like every morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour and I
Started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?


But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
Then I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's no where to run to
I sat down on the street and took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to

I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well i guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come

Its gone gone baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
Well its gone gone baby its all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you

But I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
