This guy (Matthew Silver) is a man who runs around nyc in underwear saying and doing radical things. A friend and I stopped and actually listened, and he said some beautiful things.

Music - Time by Hans Zimmer

[Kwaighzo]

I’ve seen him several times in passing at music festivals. Every time, he acted this way. Always energetic, inviting, and weird as fuck. Brief encounters with him gave me a vibe that nobody around him ever felt alone. Even with the weird stuff, he seems genuine when he says he loves everyone. Everyone loves him right back. I hope he’s doing alright.

[terrez.]

What if he's the normal one... and we're the crazy ones?

[JediMaster]

He said the greatest mystery of the universe. The Present Moment - the only moment that ever existed and will ever exist

“Sing like no one is listening,
love like you never been hurt,
dance like no one is watching
and live like it is heaven on earth.”
~Mark Twain

[dr.psycho]

This is the wisest fart sound i've ever heard

[milo_mouse]

No matter how hard it gets. No matter how alone you feel.

This guy loves you.

[manmademachnyagnomalac]

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who couldn't hear the music.."

[Davidinostroza-ksyq]

This is one of the most sane person i've seen

[tonysalas]

“you can’t be free if you judge people” very wise words

[adamnwizard]

Seriously i cried in 2014 when i first saw this. It's 2021, and this mans' words hit even harder. LOVE! NOW!

[KB]

This is pure genius. It radiates truth on a very deep level.

[sincerelylauren]

TO ANYONE WONDERING his name is Matthew Silver and he’s an artist who acts like this character around New York City to try and spread love & happiness instead of hatred

[BraXdotexe]

People may call me crazy and I couldn't care less, but this man is the epitome of a truly beautiful human being. Matthew Silver has the kindest heart and just wants to make other people feel accepted in this cruel game of life.

[megantrouty]

He is the one who should be president

[andimuhle]

What if this guy had been exposed to the meaning of the universe and the whole ordeal left him insane, but he dedicated his whole life to try to teach the rest of us the true meaning of life. let that sink in.

[jamesstrain]

I’ve met Matt several times. He is one of the most sanest, loving characters that I have ever met. I love that he thinks deeply before he speaks and that, to me, is the biggest social norm that he shatters. He has harnessed his hypomania and focused it like a “love ray gun” and pointed it back at the world that desperately needs it. I would do anything for this man. Hell, I would vote for him for president.

“Shine on you crazy diamond”

[Brandon-vsxi]

"Life is a mirror of confusion"

Whoa....I actually really felt that one.

[heruodyssey_]

When he said, "FFFPPPBBBTTTT"



I felt that.

[vw]

Shia LaBeouf’s dad seems like a really cool guy.

[phillip]

every time I feel overwhelmed by the mystery of life I come to this video and realize I'm not that crazy.. just trying to make sense of it all.

love to all of you.
