Great song and such a funny video. It's a blessing and a curse to get old. Mat just turned 42. I'm about to turn 47. I still feel young, but sometimes I feel very old.
this really pulls hard at the heartstrings for me, cause I feel so disappointed to be 25 but after revaluating to take my own life. I hope I found a better way to enjoy the rest of my life as much as possible now more than ever.
Carry on with life. It's not too late to appreciate all the simple things in life. Be grateful everyday. Never think of the negative energies and focus on the good things. Be kind to anyone and cherish every moment.
It's always been so impressive to me how you don't take yourself too seriously, and truly be yourself no matter if your telling stories at a show, playing golf as Tex or doing a virtual show. You're the best.
This track popped up on my Spotify release radar last night and I listened to it about 5 times in a row. This is just some clean songwriting. Phenomenal production, and I really dig the arrangement - some super clever moves there. This is an instant addition in to my "list of songs that I aspire to write something like" bin.
Man, I just want to say thank you for the music you make. I’ll try to shorten this as much as possible...I somehow stumbled across your Young Love album when I was about to leave for college. My Mom, sister and I would listen it to it going back and forth to Mom’s doctor visits. After I left to play ball in college, it helped me on the nights when I would get homesick. As I grew older, Mom got sicker, but when we would your music-3 of your albums: Young Love, One Black Sheep, and Crazy Talk-Mom didn’t seem as sick. She would dance in the passenger seat, and sing/smile ear to ear. Right before I got married this past May, Mom passed away... it’s been tough. But when I listen to your music, it almost feels like Mom is still dancing in the passenger seat. ❤️
Each album from you is so unbelievably catchy, inspirational, relatable, and nostalgic. Always been one of my favorite artists of all time. Love love love this song!
I can't wait to see Mat in concert again! He was the last person I saw in concert before the Pandemic, and will be the first when it passes! His music is so uplifting, and I've been listening strong and proud since college (over a decade)!
Oh yeah we had a big old Pontiac in the 70's. It was the car I learned how to drive - of course always speeding and going too fast! Great memories. Love this video and song!
Been listening to Mat and his music since his Nothing Left to Lose album, was actually the first CD I ever bought. Still remember getting it at Borders bookstore when I was 12. Mat, your music is fantastic. Keep doing what you do best, every song is a new download for me! This song is great, and the video as well. Thanks for continuing to make music I love to listen to
I've been waiting for weeks for a song to pull me back in and make me remember why I love music so much. Something catchy but meaningful, endearing but nostalgic. This is so very much it. Welcome back, Mat
My husband had a GM Pontiac while we were dating, so this song really hits home. Also, fun fact, my husband and I first met in Lancaster PA at the chameleon club waiting in line to see you during your City of Black and White tour. We come and see you every time you're in town. Thanks for your music!!🎶🎶🎶
I used to worry about nothing Said I'd never grow up in I fell in love and it was enough until it wasn't I used to dream that we could make it But now I'm working on a paycheck And the voice on the line says I'm doing fine Can you tell that I'm faking? And we watch our friends play the same old game When we all pretend that we're OK And we won't say Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25 'Cause in the city that you burned me, you played it back It gave me life, windows down Running 'round the south side of town On the flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac My Mama worried about my marriage But now I'm worried about my parents You could try to run from what runs in Your blood but you still gotta share it And we watch our friends play the same old game When we all pretend that we're OK We won't say Take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25 'Cause in the city that you burned me, you played it back It gave me life, windows down Running 'round the south side of town On the flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac I used to worry 'bout real life Until I fell into your eyes I fell in love and it was enough to make me realise You take me back to the time when getting old was turning 25 'Cause in the city that you burned me, you played it back It gave me life, windows down Running 'round the south side of town On the flip phone, you told your dad no you wouldn't crash Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac Maybe we went too Maybe we went too fast In your Pontiac
Ooh... This is a solid track, Mat. Great one! I went through a rough patch in my life a few years back - your music really helped me through it. Can't thank you enough
This hits. I never took risks. When I was 22, I fell roller skating and broke my arm in 3 places. I found out I have osteoporosis and "the bones of a 60-70 year old." The chance for risk was over. I'm 25. I hope my related health problems don't cut my life shorter. I also live near Pontiac, so hi fellow Michiganders
Good memories from Summer 2021. Me and my buddy driving down to a beach down in Kerry, Ireland. Windows wide open with soaring temperatures and this song on blast. Ah good times.
1997- Pontiac sunbird convertible, south side of bay county (Panama city beach) Motorola flip phone, burnt cds, thinking life would be over at 25 listening to John Mayer’s “why Georgia why” having the one line about quarter life crisis just stick out to me. 2002- Getting married and having my parents worry, thinking I’d made a mistake. (2020 worry about the parents) 2013- Marriage ended 2013-2018 Worked on me rebuilding who I was 2019- Married my best friend. The one who takes me back to being that 17yr old in a Pontiac convertible driving along the coast, confident and completely fearless!! This my friend is an epic song!!
I first heard mat on the radio the year undeniable came out. Can't even remember how many times I played it over and over. Found this and other hits just in the last couple of weeks, getting caught up on his music since the last time I RU-vidd him and found city of black and white tour. I agree with many, mat doesn't get near the recognition of great music like he should. But then again I don't think he's ever been on this journey for that purpose.
I became a fan the weird way because I saw an ad where this new album of yours that just came out and I clicked the linked and it took me to January Flower album on Apple Music.

Okay, Mat. You’ve convince me that the COBAW and YL sound is back. Shut up and take my money. Well...don’t shut up, because this music is magic. But take my money. You know what I mean.
