How Far We’ve Come - Matchbox Twenty
October 24, 2007 | 7 Comments
When Matchbox Twenty released Yourself or Someone Like You, I promptly fell in love with them and played that CD possibly more than any other, ever. Somehow I slowly stopped paying attention to them. Until now.
Their new song, “How Far We’ve Come”, is awesome, so is the video. Fully embracing You Tube, the band has released most of their videos there for your viewing pleasure.
This new video shows the band playing in front of classic video footage of modern history. The footage progresses through: JFK, the moon walk, Muhammad Ali, peace movement, women’s rights movement, Pele, fall of the Berlin Wall, Tiananmen Square protests, the personal computer, Live Aid, Princess Di, new millennium, Oslo Accords with Bill Clinton and Yassar Arafat, Live Earth with Al Gore, Campaign 2008 featuring Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
