“Unwell” by Matchbox 20


Riff Rundown

Difficulty: Intermediate 

This song is about people who claim to not be crazy even though they’re suffering from various occurrences that could lead them to be labeled as such.

Rob Thomas said that he wrote the song as a metaphor for humanity in general, a song for people who are “messed up and feel alone like that. We all feel a little messed up sometimes… you’re not alone.”
