Acapella song

 
Total Posts: 3

I watched Matt perform on Sunday in Chicago and he did an outstanding job. There was one song that he sang completely acapella that I wasn’t familiar with.  For those who either attended the concert or have heard him sing this particular song, what is it called?

I was at the Chicago show and agree it was great and loved the acapella song.  I only heard Matt live three times but never heard that song.

Holy crap, how did you find this?! :)  I searched and searched and couldn’t find it, but I couldn’t remember the words very well either.  This is frickin’ awesome!!! I think he did an great job in Chicago.  It was actually nice that it rained prior to him performing as the crowd was smaller.  Thank you for finding this!!!!

I saw matt at a handful of his florida dates. He always closed the night with this song and it was simply oustanding everytime he performed it. A perfect conlusion to an already perfect show.

Glad I could be of some help…Just got lucky going through all the Matt Costa videos on youtube that came up with a seacrh using the word arms.  Does anybody know if he wrote this song or who did?

I stumbled across this one just after I saw evanadlers original post. Its a more complete version. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2jvVXPRS_0

I’d love to know the details on this one as well. Did Matt write it? Will it be available to purchase soon? I hope so, it’s one of my favs!

I loved this in Houston, and nobody had heard the song either.  Thank you whoever posted the youtube link.

Just back from seeing Matt in Glasgow, and heard the new acapella song for the first time.  I’d managed to catch a clip of it on my phone, but the video quality is pretty crappy.  The sound, however, is pretty good.

Anyway, hopefully it’s of interest to somebody out there!

Thanks, it is really good sound quality, and I love the hat he’s wearing.

Edit: I just realized that you just took that video, I really should actually read the post I’m responding to, haha.  Most people wait around a couple weeks before they upload their videos so thanks =]

I just heard this at the Boston show tonight and it was one of the better things I’ve probably ever witnessed in my life. It was basically just a “Hey I’m Matt Costa and my voice is beautiful…like seriously you should be weeping right now.” The crowd was really into it and not to brag but our clapping to it was very skilled.
