This is just a remake of a hungarian man's(Seress Rezső) music, from 1936. This song became famous for many suicides keeping the lyrics/music sheet, later called ,,The suicide anthem".
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.
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
@@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! ;)
@@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.
listening to you version makes me feel like it is talking to me, talking to a part of mine i dont know properly yet, i cannot listen to it enough, impeccable interpretation of the music as a whole and immense feelings; listening to your take on the song has definitely become an important part of my daily schedule, just wanted to thank you for working on this masterpiece.
Wow, thank you for the wonderful comment. Your words mean a great deal and I'm so pleased the song has resonated so strongly with you! Thanks for listening!

Years ago, i was sick... this song ... gave me life and reasons to continue and reasons to run away from this life ... and now, im here listen you again. This song and your voice are all I need. < 3
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.
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.

OMG .... what a beautiful sound you got... The orchestra is really great... Great flow of sound .. I've been really enjoying it a lot.. Wish you have a great future...🥰❤
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.
Beautiful, just god damn beautiful, ive been listening to this song for like 2 years now and it blows me away these days just like it did back when i first heard it. And so heartbreakingly underrated. Keep up because youre amazing in this kinda music.
Theyre scared of this song. But for me, it's not that scary and it doesn't do anything for me. For me this song isnt suicidal, this is sad song that has deep meaning on it, I think the reason why people scared to listen to this, is the tone of the song
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

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.

@@ahilyab12 In the original, but I think Matt Forbes took some creative liberties.
Stephanie A it’s the billie holiday cover?
So Good
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
I don't understand how this song can make u kill urself
It does.. :)

Thank you, Katrina! I'm very grateful for those who take the time to write (let alone listen!) :)
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
It's magical how a song about gloomy sunday in your voice made my sunday less gloomy and thrilling
This arrangement so perfect. You're an amazing singer.

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.

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.
