What about Matchbox 20? Matchbox 20 is one of the most successful rock bands that emerged in the past decade. Formed in Florida, United States, the band has sold 44 million albums worldwide from the releases of Yourself or someone like you, Mad season, and More than you think you are.I remember the first time that I heard the song I was expecting something smoother. Instead, I realized that I’ve never thought about the contents of the lyric. Let’s face it: Global warming, politics, terrorism, the rate of extinction of species are strong reasons for me to think about what is going to happen to the world.
Some believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause for the end of the world. Others are saying it'll be humans that set it off. I consider it’s an interesting issue that we all should think about it sometime. I mean, one action of yours may affect a lot of people. What do you think?
Comments are welcome!

Matchbox 20 – How far we’ve come
But its feeling just like every other 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 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 nowhere to run to
I sat down on the street, 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 (right now)
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 (oh yeah)
Let's see how far we've come
It's gone gone baby it's all gone
There's 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
Well it's gone gone baby it's all gone
There's 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
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 (oh yeah)
Let's see how far we've come
Now 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 (oh yeah)

After read what you have wrote about he band, I downloaded the song and read the lyrics to see your point. I'm listening them right now.

Is always good when a band write a song based on something for example a love story, a memorie, a feeling, etc. that's why I love matchbox20 I think it's a great song, makes you wonder some stuff, How far I've come?? no idea yet, but I still working on it
I didn't heard before about Matchbox 20, but i love to download songs and get to know what they say, especially those ones with a deep meaning, because sometimes this songs express opinions wich make you think in important issues that are happening right now.
This is why if a band is recognized for it's music and at the same time they send a message, i like them inmediately. So i'm going to look for their songs right now.
Bye
La verdad es que nunca antes había escuchado que existiera este grupo ni lo interesante que es, ya que al transmitir un contenido "real" es atractivo por sus mensajes además de la calidad musical. Es importante conocer los problemas que están afectando la humanidad y que mejor forma de difusión que mediante la música!!!! realmente me agradó mucho saber la existencia de este tipo de música, gracias por compartirlo ...
