#matchbox20 #matchboxtwenty #robthomas

I cite my sources and they may differ than other people's accounts, so I don't guarantee the actual accuracy of my videos.

The single that made Matchbox 20 a household name would be the song “Push,”. The song’s lyrics about a troubled relationship came during Thomas first trip to New York City and soon drew criticism from feminist groups with one group in New Hampshire calling for radio stations to stop playing the song. Thomas pushed back against these assertions. Nice pun right? The song isn’t a call for physical violence but rather an observations of the emotional battles a relationship goes through and saw Thomas claim the song was inspired by a relationship in which he was the one who was mistreated.
Thomas would recall to the LA Times watching MTV News one day and seeing an ex-girlfriend of his being interviewed claiming to be the inspiration behind the song Push and threatening to sue Matchbox 20 for unpaid royalties. Luckily for him, she wasn’t serious and no lawsuit would be filed.
In reality the song was about a different high school girlfriend who broke up with Thomas by donating his possessions to Goodwill telling the LA Times “I had no clothes, nothing. All the local bands got together and gave me their band T-shirts. For months, that’s all I wore.”
The success of the band’s first album would result in them being all over MTV and rock radio but the Matchbox 20 still had an identity problem. Despite people magazine naming Rob Thomas one of it’s 50 most beautiful people of 1998 MTV sent a camera crew to one of the band’s shows and asked attendees to simply name one of the band members and many people could not answer the question. How did the band feel about this? Well, Thomas saw it as a vindication that the band’s music was more important than their image, while other members couldn’t believe it as they appeared in all their own music videos. Thomas would tell Rolling Stone in 2009 “My songs are more famous than I am, and I’m OK with that.”
The band’s success soon saw them lumped in with the likes of the counting crows and hootie and the blowfish with the LA Times writing on their profile of the band “Matchbox 20, like the Crows and Hootie, has sold millions of records by approximating the sound of an earlier era, which makes their music reassuring for listeners who moan about the loss of classic songwriting values in rock, but who don’t seem to demand the challenge and individuality that gave the best of that music its power.”
Some of the critics weren’t kind to the band. Their detractors referred to the band as corporate radio fluff. Even some of their rock heroes were less than supprortive. Thomas would meet one of his idols Keith Richards who had hoped that hte guitarist would compliment Matchbox 20’s music. Instead Thomas recalled Richards saying “Oh, you’re the one with the wife.” referring to his wife a fashion model. Then you had fellow musicians who came up during the same time who didn’t show the band respect.
In perhaps the most 90’s feud Third Eye blind frontman Stephen Jenkins also slammed Thomas. Matchbox 20’s tour for their first album saw Thomas gain 20 pounds. At one point Jenkins called Thomas fat to which thomas responded in an interview with spin saying and I don’t care who knows it. [Stephan Jenkins] made fun of me—called me a fat guy. Screw you! He has no soul whatsoever.
Thomas would tell Rolling STone how the success of the group’s first album took it’s toll on him personally.
I was the only person ever with a coke habit to gain fifty pounds. We did an MTV Live From the 10 Spot, and that was the first time I’d had good look at myself in a while. Not only was I heavy, but I had dark eyes, my face was all puffy. That was pretty fucked up. I’d met my future wife at that point, and she showed the tape to her mother. Her mother was like, “Why the fuck are you going out with the guy? He’s ugly! Thomas would end up curtailing his habits and the band’s first album would go on to sell 12 million copies, but it also came with one additional headache. The man on the front cover of the band’s album sued them for not getting his permission to put his likeness on the record. He would file his lawsuit nearly a decade after the album came out b

Lyrics:
I been dreamin’, I been drivin’
Trying to stay between the lines of
Who I am and who I used to be
I been livin’, I been losin’
Walkin’ miles in different shoes
And findin’ out I can’t run from me

And if I ever get a little too far
I remember where I left my heart

Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma
It’s where my soul was born to be
No matter where I’m goin’
I’m a wild wind blowin’
Just a-rollin’ like a tumbleweed
Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma
So you can’t take it out of me

The sky is cryin’, Mama’s callin’
Paint is peelin’, grass is tall and
I’m still feelin’ like I don’t belong
Water tower, graffiti faded
Am I older, or just jaded?
Everything and nothing changed at all

Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma
It’s where my soul was born to be
No matter where I’m goin’, I’m a wild wind blowin’
Just a-rollin’ like a tumbleweed
Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma
So you can’t take it out of me

And if I ever get a little too far
I remember where I left my heart

Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma
It’s where my soul was born to be
No matter where I’m goin’, I’m a wild wind blowin’
Just a-rollin’ like a tumbleweed
Can’t take the home out of Oklahoma
So you can’t take it out of me
Can’t take it out of me

දිව්‍යාංගනාවී සුරූපි දේහ විලාසී
මුවඟේ සිනා වගෙයි දේවතා එළි
කවියෝ මුලා වී ආයෙ ලියයි ශිලා ගී
ඔබ චිත්‍රයක්දෝ අරාබි කුමාරි

හබීබි හබීබි සලාම් අලෙයිකුම්
ඕ බේබි බේබි සරා පා ස ආ ඕ තුම්
හබීබි හබීබි සලාම් අලෙයිකුම්
ඕ බේබි බේබි සරා පා ස ආ ඕ තුම්
හබීබි

බඹර විලාසේ රගන මලක ස්වරූපේ
දුඹුරු ලා පෑහේ රසම තැන් මට පෑහේ
ඔබට මනාපේ අවනතයි මගෙ ආලේ
ලග පාතින් ඔබ ගාවින් ඉන්නම් මගෙ කෙල්ලේ

ඒ හබිබි මගෙ අරබි කෙල්ලේ
ඔයට හැඩ සාරිම ඇන්දේ
සරල කෙල්ලේ කැත නම් ඉල්ලේ
ඇස් දෙක දැක්කම සීලෙ බිදේ

ලග නවලා අඩිචි කලා
රෑ වෙන්න රෑ වෙන්න මොකද වුනා
දෙතොල හපා උකුල බදා අනග කතාවේ

හබීබි හබීබි සලාම් අලෙයිකුම්
ඕ බේබි බේබි සරා පා ස ආ ඕ තුම්
හබීබි හබීබි සලාම් අලෙයිකුම්

Welcome to the wild, no heroes and villains
Welcome to the war we've only begun, so
Pick up your weapon and face it
There's blood on the crown go and take it
You get one shot to make it out alive, so
Higher and higher you chase it
It’s deep in your bones, go and take it
This is your moment, now is your time, so

Prove yourself and
RISE, RISE
Make 'em remember you
RISE
Push through hell and
RISE, RISE
They will remember you
RISE

Welcome to the climb up, reach for the summit
Visions pray that one false step lead the end, so
Higher and higher you chase it
It's deep in your blood, go and take it
This is your moment, take to the skies, go

Prove yourself and
RISE, RISE
Make 'em remember you
RISE
Push through hell and
RISE, RISE
They will remember you
RISE

So get along, so get along, go
Get along 'long get a move on up
So get along, so get along, go
Get along 'long get a move on up
And as you fight among the death beneath the dirt
Do you know yet?
Do you want it?
And when the giants call to ask you what you're worth
Do you know if,
Win or die, you'll

Prove yourself and
RISE, RISE
Make 'em remember you
RISE
Push through hell and
RISE, RISE
They will remember you
RISE
Prove yourself and RISE, RISE
(Pick up your weapon and face it)
RISE
(It’s deep in your blood, go and take it)
RISE, RISE
(Higher and higher you chase it)
RISE, RISE

Lyrics:

Verse

Like music boxes custom made,
Inside those golden boxes played.
A beating, bleeding,
Can't forget that feeling,
Was it love?

Pre Chorus

Inside this little music box I'll hide us
If by a chance you find yourself falling in love,
we'll keep the moon beside us,
Keeping it inside, inside, inside
No need to run
No need to hide
Yes, I dug deep
Yes, I fell high
it's not enough
But I tried.

Chorus

I find it possible that I will find another one that I quite like, like you,
Is that what I'm supposed to do?

VERSE 2

Now that's how my life up and tumbled down into a roadkill,
If I'm a corpse baby, can you come and shoot me in the head,
Pick up the phoooone Lucy, think I'm coming straight to hell.
Still waiting for the last call, was it last Fall at least I know the message's in.
I keep my eyes closed, so that these thoughts may not seem sensitive,
Sometimes my mind jokes, that I could find you in my heart again.

Pre-chorus

But it's the same song again,
Was I singing it with you, way more then?
Never wonder it before,
Was I being stupid, or was being a genius a chore?
My mind's quiet, but my heart's looking for an encore.

Bridge
But when I give a smile to you, you'd give a smile to me,
I'd give my dreams to you, if you could answer me.
If I would die for you, well would you die for me?
Since now I live for you, is that a life for me?
Is that life for me? Is that life for me?
Is that life for me? Is that a lie ?

Last Chorus

I find it possible that I will find another one that I quite like, like you,
Is that what I'm supposed to do?

And why can't I think of being free of everything that you have done to me,
Was it worth it , was it fair, to leave, me?
