You should be the one to sing a James Bond theme tho, your voice is amazing
I would LOVE to sing a Bond theme, IAMV0ID...thanks for the support!
no problem :D
@@TheMattForbes Your voice is so amazing.
@@thomasbinoj666 Very kind of you to write, sir -- thank you!
@@TheMattForbes Thank you Sir. We always remember you.
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
I'm glad Instagram showed me this
So glad you discovered it!
Hola. Recién te descubro. Eres genial
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
Ur right

Sad of all Sundays
It's a Gloomy Sunday
One Gloomy Sunday
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
my god the SAX SOLOOOOOOOOOOOO
Yes! By the Great Doug Webb!!
Love it when the sax, trumpet and piano come together so beautifully. And that voice, oh my! Awesome!!
+Teresa Mahieu Thanks, Teresa!
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 ;)
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 hated jazz, now i Love it
That might be the greatest compliment I could ask for -- thank you! So glad you're loving it!
And all this time I thought "Gloomy Sunday" was just a short film we made in highschool.
Hats Off to Matt Forbes !
It's so sweet that even though this cover is gaining a lot of traction you're still liking and responding to comments. Very humble c:
Thank you, Katrina! I'm very grateful for those who take the time to write (let alone listen!) :)
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! ;)
I feel like this version wouldn’t kill myself
Es verdad!!! 🇦🇷
Sir, what does this mean?
@@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.
AzulaBlack I don’t care x
@@eleanorkerin3229 that was kind of rude
I don't wanna die...NOW I wanna dance! This is amazing
Haha -- that's what we like to hear! Thank you!!
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 improvisation I ever heard, Mr. Forbes is great singer. Luda.
Thank you so much!
This cover made me realize
"There is always a good thing in a bad something"
Magical! One of the best modern jazzmen, luxury timbre 😌
Very kind of you to write! So glad you enjoyed it! ;)
I love your voice - deep yet smooth. This is really amazing!
Thank you!
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

I just had a mental breakdown a few minutes ago and here i am listening to gloomy sunday.And this version really just calm me down.Thank you.❤
I'm sorry to hear that but I'm very happy to hear the music brought you some solace ❤

Samee but it was worse...then listened to the original until I felt nothing but numbness but it led me here now i feel a lil better
You're the reason why I started to listen jazz again after years... I adore this cover

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.
Currently learning to sing, you and your beautiful voice are one of my inspirations!
That's such a wonderful compliment...thank you! And good luck with your own musical journey!
Sunday's aren't gonna be gloomy anymore. What a great job!
Haha thank you so much!
I think I just found the voice I was looking for to be a part of my playlists. You take me to another time, your interpretation is on point and you sing just what you need to say. To summarize it... just beautiful.
That's awfully kind of you to say...I so appreciate it, Isabella! Thank you!
Fallin in love at the first hear
I couldn't help but to lean back and close my eyes upon hearing the golden silky smoothness of your voice!
Haha thank you Frostyz!

My God, thank you for including not only Paul Robeson's old title, "Saddest of Sundays," but also excluding the tacked-on "It was only a dream" part from the Billie Holiday version, all due respect to her beside. Absolutely amazing vocals, as well.
Thank you for the very kind words! I'm so pleased you enjoyed my take on it!
