Matchbox Twenty released an real tearjerker video for their new swoon-worthy single, "Overjoyed," the second single taken from American pop rock band's latest fourth studio album, "North," and it debuted at No.1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart. A carousel and other carnival rides trigger memories in this sharp-looking video for Matchbox Twenty.
Matchbox Twenty have had a tough time in love in some of their songs, including most recent laed single, "She's So Mean," but with follow up single, "Overjoyed," there's nothing but sweet love going on, man, so don't go trying to stir up trouble. The mid-tempo ballad, is almost too good too true. Not only would lead singer Rob Thomas be glad to come over, as he sings, "I cannot overstate it, I would be overjoyed." And he's not just talking about for the night, he's talking about for a lifetime. He wants to tell you secrets that nobody knows, and hold you, and even give you a foot massage.
This could be a wedding song for years go come and the band knows it, but don't get it confused with the Stevie Wonder classic of the same name. It's a pure Matchbox Twenty original, with the distinctive Thomas touch. This song about finding love and joy, perhaps the rockers have left heartbreak behind for good on their latest album, and with a title like “Overjoyed”, you'd expect band's latest single to be riddled with an upbeat tempo and catchy pop hooks. Instead, Thomas and the gang go for a slower pace and a video that follows the path of a couple who meet in grade school, date, get married, start a family and grow old together.
Thomas' familiar alt-rock croon narrates the tale of a family in backwards time. Set at a carousel and other carnival rides trigger memories and showcases a couple that has been going there for many years, the BIG TV-directed clip begins with a married couple and their family, and moves in reverse to show the first meeting of the pair in elementary school as a young girl named Lucy putting on make-up to meet her boyfriend Sam. It then turns back around and moves forward to the present and showing them dating, getting wed and starting a family. It ends with the elderly man and woman dancing in their kitchen while playing a love song on the record player. Sappy but super sweet.
