1996年成軍至今的火柴盒20(Matchbox Twenty)，短短幾年間已在樂壇締造多項令人咋舌的非凡成就。隸屬Post-Grunge音樂範疇的Matchbox 20，在才氣縱橫的主唱Rob Thomas引領下，此團成為最佳代表性的典範之最，將走入90年中即告勢微的Grunge樂派，舖下另一道血脈，並傳承其扎實的音樂風格，表現出更具流暢感與精緻度的音樂新導向，也讓Matchbox Twenty成為近年來樂史上最受推崇、聲勢持續不墜的一個搖滾團體。



身為Matchbox 20靈魂人物的Rob Thomas，從未想過能成為別人眼中所謂的「超級搖滾巨星」，一直謙虛的以創作人身分自居，隨性率真、翱翔自我地編寫出多樣迥異風格之作品！出生德國軍事基地的Rob，17歲時逃離高中教育和不完整的家庭生活，靠著搭便車在美國東南部一帶流浪，能夠讓他依靠、宣洩情緒的唯有『音樂』。直至遇到有著相同音樂理念的鼓手Paul Doucette、貝斯手Brian Yale、與雙吉他手Adam Gaynor和Kyle Cook，自此Matchbox 20便羽化成型。



全球超過兩千五百萬人感受透過Matchbox 20找回搖滾熱血

1996年順利推出首張專輯【Yourself Or Someone Like You】後，陸續發行【Mad Season】(2000)與【More Than You Think You Are】(2002)等三張專輯，Rob Thomas帶領Matchbox 20締造8首全美排行榜冠軍單曲，其中抒情佳作Unwell，更創下蟬連全美成人抒情榜18週冠軍紀錄！全球累積超過兩千五百萬張的驚人銷售量，成績斐然！Rob Thomas個人魅力更是所向披靡，3座葛萊美獎、13次BMI金獎，蟬連2屆Billboard年度最佳創作人。1999年Rob與山塔那合寫合唱的單曲Smooth，不僅幫助山塔那東山再起，重返流行歌壇，更入選為滾石雜誌百大單曲、全美12週冠軍，橫掃葛萊美八項大獎，自此Rob Thomas獨樹一格的創作實力，終獲得全球壓倒性的讚賞與認同！不刻意突顯俊秀外型的他，仍被時人雜誌選為『全球50名最美麗的人物』之一，美國週刊亦封他為本世紀最性感的搖滾男歌手。

All day staring at the ceiling

Making friends with shadows on my wall

All night hearing voices telling me

That I should get some sleep

Because tomorrow might be good for something



Hold on

Feeling like I’m headed for a breakdown

And I don’t know why



[Chorus]



But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell

I know right now you can’t tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see

A different side of me

I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired

I know right now you don’t care

But soon enough you’re gonna think of me

And how I used to be...me



I’m talking to myself in public

Dodging glances on the train

And I know, I know they’ve all been talking about me

I can hear them whisper

And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me

Out of all the hours thinking

Somehow I’ve lost my mind



[Chorus]



But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell

I know right now you can’t tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see

A different side of me

I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired

I know right now you don’t care

But soon enough you’re gonna think of me

And how I used to be



I’ve been talking in my sleep

Pretty soon they’ll come to get me

Yeah, they’re taking me away



[Chorus]



But I’m not crazy, I’m just a little unwell

I know right now you can’t tell

But stay awhile and maybe then you’ll see

A different side of me

I’m not crazy, I’m just a little impaired

I know right now you don’t care

But soon enough you’re gonna think of me

And how I used to be



Yeah, how I used to be

How I used to be

Well, I’m just a little unwell

How I used to be

How I used to be

I’m just a little unwell
