Hola. Recién te descubro. Eres genial
Sunday is gloomy,
My hours are slumberless.
Dearest, the shadows
I live with are numberless.
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you.
Not where that black coach
Of sorrow has taken you.
It's a Gloomy Sunday...
Angels have no thought
Of ever returning you.
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said, I know.
Let them not weep,
Let them know that I'm glad to go.
Death is a dream,
For in death I'm caressing you.
With the last breath of my soul,
I'll be blessin' you.
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Thank you
It’s death is no dream
@@ahilyab12 In the original, but I think Matt Forbes took some creative liberties.
Stephanie A it’s the billie holiday cover?
So Good
Sunday is gloomy

Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where that black coach
Of sorrow has taken you

Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said, I know
Let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go
Death is a dream
Cause in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessin' you
Gloomy Sunday

Sad of all Sundays
It's a Gloomy Sunday

Since 2 years ago until now, this version always ready in my playlist.
That's the best compliment I could receive! I'm happy to hear that ;)
Is it just me? Or this sounds like feeling good?
You really sound great.
Thanks Cole -- the arrangement was definitely influenced by Nina Simone's 12/8 groove on 'Feeling Good'!
You’re amazing dude!!!
Yeeeessss, you're right

It does.. :)
Love it when the sax, trumpet and piano come together so beautifully. And that voice, oh my! Awesome!!

I appreciate the kind words...thank you!
my god the SAX SOLOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes! By the Great Doug Webb!!
Oh Matt… 👌👏🥰
I'm so glad you're enjoying the music!
I hated jazz, now i Love it
That might be the greatest compliment I could ask for -- thank you! So glad you're loving it!
I'd want to have this and the other one both played at my funeral - Set the tone with the more unsettling one then end on this banger xx
I feel safe with this version than the original.
Given Lady Day's life...
gosh same !
Its the hungarian suicide song so the original makes you feel really unsafe, lost and down but this cover change its rhythm upbeat and sexy
🤣
The Hungarian original is haunting
Touched!
I don't wanna die...NOW I wanna dance! This is amazing
Haha -- that's what we like to hear! Thank you!!
Today Sunday ❤
Better' song
So underrated. Where has music like this gone? Amazing :)
Thanks Peaches! You can find a lot more 'vintage pop' on this channel...even more coming in 2019! ;)
Your voice accompanies me on my long walks
I'm very touched to hear that...thank you for listening, Maria! :)
This arrangement so perfect. You're an amazing singer.
That's very kind of you to write -- thank you! My arranger Callum Au outdid himself on this one!
The best Funeral memorial song ever! Amen....
Now that I think of it, your voice reminds me so much of Frank Sinatra 😨 amazing!!
That's quite the compliment! Thank you!
Matt Forbes you're very welcome!
Reincarnation,actually😂😂😂
Excellent voice and performance!I'm from Argentina and never heard of you
Thank you, Adriana! There's even more music like this on my channel, so be sure to subscribe! ;)
@@TheMattForbes Hi, Matt. I'm already subscribed. As I'm subscribed to many channels but yours is the second one on music, must ask you if I give a like each time I listen the same song it functions for you or it only functions the first time (The other one is an Spanish - Enrique Ramil-who won in Got Talent)
@@adrianacolino3455 I appreciate the support :) Unfortunately, you can only 'like' a video once (it only adds 1 to the overall count) but thank you for trying! ;)
Sunday's aren't gonna be gloomy anymore. What a great job!
Haha thank you so much!
The original one are hits me differrent, but this cover version had its own soul of music.
Love it
Thank you! So pleased you enjoyed this!
Made this song sound like it should be in a spy movie.
Hah that was definitely one of the inspirations behind the arrangement! Thanks, Joshua!
I think thats the best music i ever heard
I'm delighted to hear that, Rafael! :)
I thought I knew most of the great American song book but I never heard this song. I purchased both of Matt's CD's. Every song on both albums are a pleasure to listen to with Matt's rich baritone and the great band and arrangements. I'd love to hear Matt do a standards CD with the basic jazz trio as Tony Bennett has done thru the years.
Thanks for the kind words, Jerry...so pleased to hear you're enjoying the records!
@@TheMattForbes Rumor has it, Tony Bennett's quartet is looking for a gig 😉
@@TheMattForbes de uma
This is a Hungarian song by Rezső Seress. Also called the Hungarian suicide song and it's easy more gloomy in the original version en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloomy_Sunday?wprov=sfti1
Just need one second to love your version
Thank you so much!
Great job Matt (and all other musicians), one of the best renditions I have heard, but damn, these lyrics are just as painful as the first time I heard them.
What a sensual sound!
It's magical how a song about gloomy sunday in your voice made my sunday less gloomy and thrilling
Justttttttttt Amazzzzzzingggg..... Loooooovvvvveeee Iiiiiiiiittttttt.........
Thank you Preeti!!
This cover made me realize
"There is always a good thing in a bad something"
I just fell in love!
Haha aw you're very sweet! Thanks Karla! ;)
I love your voice - deep yet smooth. This is really amazing!
Thank you!
That sax solo is absolutely spellbinding!
Thanks, Carly! That's the Great Doug Webb burning it up!
Fallin in love at the first hear
Damn that band coming in at the second verse is everything
So glad you dug it! ;)
Magical! One of the best modern jazzmen, luxury timbre 😌
Very kind of you to write! So glad you enjoyed it! ;)
It's like hearing It's a Lonesome Old Town, Feeling Good and Gloomy Sunday all at once, ¡so fcking awesome!
Three of my favorite songs -- thank you! So pleased you enjoyed this!

@@eleanorkerin3229 some people said that this is some kind of 'suicide song, if you search the firsts versions of this song you'll probably understand why.
