Scott Matthews - Elusive

[TheSupersonic1972]

Off to see him in London tonight....can't wait!!!!!!!!!

[JillLucas78]

Wasn't he fantastic??!?! It was such an understated gig but he played and sung so beautifully and through the WHOLE of Elusive, i had goosebumps! That man is fantastic!! Hope you enjoyed it as much as i did....

[LNLN123]

amazing amazing amazing song!!! She's elusive And I'm awake You're finally real There's nothing fake A mystery now To me and you Open my eyes And I'm next to you She's said my destiny Lies in the hands that set me free

[6372jeansie]

quite jeff buckleyesque!

[lilwanderer]

this song is so good its almost painful to listen to

[jilliamarie]

if this were a record, it would have long been worn

[MsKatie35]

what an amazing song and a powerful voice.... so effortless - what a talent. Beautiful to listen to. Love it

[Wadensten]

Fantastic! I'm so happy I found this!

[sucking345]

[eternallola]

this song is perfect!!

[moorahface]

this song = pure amazingness-ness...

flip man. just flip. it is so so good.

scott matthews is an incredible man.

[lejoe48]

The John Leckie quartet version is better than this one imo. I love this song

[jimiwhat]

like it!! but no reason to compare him to buckley or drake he's nothing like them. No one will come close too buckley if u ask me . like your song scott

[mersi2140]

Nigga please

[teamgreat]

i am so in love with this song.

[psicodelicafunk]

me encanta

[SuperDave1]

He has actually recorded a song called "12 Harps" for his upcoming second album, "Elsewhere", which is being released in March.

Oh, he recorded the song as a duet with Robert Plant.

[urbittergdbye89]

wow never heard this song before. but it sounds amazing. i found out 'bout this song from a cover...and man the song in general is amazing. i've seen some pretty good covers of this as well

[lengthatron]

I heard this this morning for the first time ever and ewas convinced it was John Martyn. today i've learned how to play it and i'm trying to learn the lyrics! it's an amazing song!

[Hyro321]

OMFG! This guy needs to release an album. He's not Jeff Buckley, but he's close enough.

[AVFCsean1988]

he has, its called passing stranger and is amazing!!!

[thestevencrane]

I always thought he's a mix of Jeff and Nick Drake, definitely influenced by them anyway.

[angleboyrox1]

omg! I finally found this song.... I heard it years ago and fell in love with it. Beautiful, haunting and so relatable.

[riskyjab]

immense song

yep

[Lovetomakebeatz]

the best song in the world i can relate

[1jmx]

sound like "ed harcourt" and "nick drake" and by the way thank shit that girl from XFACTOR murderd that hallilulia crap, buckley was just as bad,,

nice one scott,, xxlovey

[mueymue]

Sounds a bit like Jeff Buckley =]

no doubt will a legend like him!

[WiseGoatz]

1st thing i thought ,too.

[rubberonnie]

no doubt bout it , this is legendary.

[Okami4Ever]

Every now and then, you hear a song for the first time and you feel like you've heard it a million times before. I loved it so much, I had to special order the cd and its all amazing!

[millychloe]

I like it, good music

[claireismyname123]

scott mathews... haha thats my dads name! i love this song!!!!! -Claire Matthews

[copperboy17]

[sweenyboyblue]

sooo good. can remember watchin him in my home town birmingham and there was only about 10 people there.great memorys

[gooseneck79]

the university of music

[Quixoticlyhhmm]

I couldnt find this anywhere

*sighs with relief*

[jeffo0771]

hey good tune well crafted..roll up a fat one!

[jdreddevil1993]

Goin on holiday tomorrow i think i will be lying in the sun to this one,,,,shes elusive and im awake!

[AziTTiz]

OoOo I think its such a beautiful song =)

[jewratcat]

He is the closest thing to jeff buckley ive seen , very talented

[Chris32414]

Well done song, pretty nice!

[whiteriot123]

this is the best song ever

[Silverdusk03]

Bravo....Amazing song

[IndyaMcmillan]

Damn it was elusive

[Steeviespielberg]

Beautiful song, he's a very talented young artist. I can only imagine that he'll go on to do what Jeff Buckley would have done had he not died at such a young age.

[taylaaababee]

yeeah it is a pretty good song

:L

[stevejc84]

Quite possibly the greatest song of all time.

Haunting

[OpheliaFace]

When I read the lyrics of this song...I cannot help but think of Edward and Bella-Twilight

[megaman8484]

i cannot help but think of bungle zippy and button moon?? whats wrong with me??

[theapiccipop]

would be nice as soundtrack for the movie...

naturally only if the movie is not crap!

:)

[Aoifw]

decent fella in the flesh too, met after a snow patrol gig in stuttgart last yr been a fan ever since, looking forward to some new recordings scott :D

[BohemianBolt]

In a strange way, he sounds like a male Billie Holiday - same sort of wistful, gentle, yin sound. This song has been haunting me for days since I first watched this video.

[bphillips17]

A truly incredible sound and depth of soul to his music, I could listen to him everyday! For all of you who enjoy Mathews music, you should check out the 'late' Nick Drake whose voice carries similarities to Mathews and his melodies are also very beautiful! I hope to hear and see much more from this guy!

[theapiccipop]

makes me shiver...

[HEYARNOLD5]

'in her mind im proud to roam' truly inspired lyrics

[rubberonnie]

In a class of its own.

[jl416300]

Buckley-esque, sure. But this song is truly haunting. Not often do we hear lyrics that rhyme while conveying a story that is just ambiguous enough for interpretation; supplemented by a simple chord progression with subtle note bends. Superb.

[thegimprevolt]

jl416300, I think you've managed to convey the entire uniqueness of this song in your words.

[jl416300]

Haha! Thanks. Personally "Elusive" resonates with my last relationship. It's so intensely reflective that it frightens me to realize how much we can obsess over another person. Will we ever really "know" that person? And is it healthy for us to formulate an understanding of the other?

"The sun in sails, and this ain't right. There's more to her than meets the eye. She comes and goes at any time, Back in my head at another time."

[Lizbee6]

Very strange to read your comments, as this is SO very similair to my own last relationship, & Elusive was many times played when we were together. The concept of truly 'knowing' somone... it's not even possible in one sense yet two people can be drawn so intently towards it, dangerously so. I think there's always going to be a core part of love that remains a mystery, & this is what makes it far greater than the sum of all its parts. Amazing song, he captures that intangible feeling.

[VColaQueenV]

Love this song, never tire of it, seen him live twice, awesome stuff. Im a HUGE fan of Buckley, dont see the similarity to be honest, both fabulous in their own rights, but different. Lyrics to this amaze me, chill me to the core. First heard this on Jo's Live Lounge, i was breathless. All his tracks are great, you deserve more recognition !!

[IndyaMcmillan]

Always..

[QueenLex]

loooooovely

[54spiritedwill54]

Scott is so awesome.

[mishyroo]

I simply adore this song, it is so beautiful.

[IndyaMcmillan]

Elusive babe love every second of us..

[busenlilly1]

is this the guy from "shortbus"?

[jsdhfuos]

which guy? there were many. lol

[busenlilly1]

no, i meant scott matthew without the "s". just found out they're two different singers with very similar names.

[Clarkeford20]

these guy is pretty damn good! and god he sounds so much like Buckley, anyone who cant hear that has clearly never heard buckley and lets face it its not a bad thing to be told you sound like one of the greatest artist who ever lived and is sadly no longer with us.

[benjiboydawson]

Saw him at the liquid rooms in Edinburgh a while ago. Superb entertainer, made everyone laugh and sounded studio perfect. A real talent!

[Yvelou]

This song is beautiful absolutely love it. Really do, stumbled upon this quite by accident when listening to Tom Baxter who I may add is extremely talented too. I think we will be seeing alot of Scott Matthews this year dont you? And no I do not think he sounds like Jeff Buckley at all.!

[maffauk1]

i spoke to scott in december and he said hes got a few good thing happening this year. aint seen him in a few months but yea hes class, hes my cousin

[Yvelou]

O fantastic, please let me know when his gigs are and where if you dont mind. Think he sounds fab. His cousin aye, so does talent run in the family then ??????

[IndyaMcmillan]

Thank you Bront I love this song amazing x0x0x

[saladdays1983]

Fantastic Song.

Scott Matthews is a damn good song writer but in saying that, anyone who says he isnt trying to sound like Jeff Buckley is either ignorant or just plain stupid.

[283411]

first heard this on an holby city. of all places. its taken me a week to track it down. the efort was worth it. this is a great song with such strengh. can wait to see what matt has for all of us in 2008. good one matt

[lovednb1]

beautifull

[carandirunights]

damn, i love this

[tofeeenose]

stunning

[xliziex]

I went to see him live he is totaly amazing he sounds exactly like he does on his album, which is just great! He comes from the same place as me, so proud =D

[raulnarciso]

actually its wrong to compare this guy with nick drake or Jeff Buckley.. Because he is in his own league. But this gUy can play a damn guitar great! This is the first time I heard this song and I would probably look for a cd.

NO comparison to any artist. When you start comparing artist and their songs thats the time you put divisions into what your listnening.

thats life anyway...

[MW27593]

first heard this song on some ones myspace. And i loved it.

[papertiger101]

This live footage re-affirms to me how foolish it is to compare him to Jeff Buckley. I'm not trying to romanticise Jeffs death any more than what it already has been, but Jeff was the TRUTH, pure beauty and love...He was a true 'romantic' to anybody that understands what Jeff meant by that expression when describing him self...There will NEVER be another Jeff Buckley...It is unfair to both Jeff and Scott to make the comparison...None the less, well done Scott, a lovely song indeed...

[crees74]

so?

jeff is jeff scott is scott

[Aarontrz1]

Actually Jeff is Scott, Jeff's real name is scott moorehead, just pointin it out.

[knoxieman]

Hi

Scott is like Buckley and Drake rolled in to 1 x person! amazing! and such a nice bloke to talk to as well!! if you are at one of his gigs talk to him...he is so normal! and so very approachable.

Knoxie x

[NEW00107]

HIS VOICE IS GREAT!!

[SimoneGiggles]

Scott is amazing, i'd never really noticed him before i saw him supporting Rufus wainwright. he's even better live! buy his album!!

[NICC234]

Scott is fucking awesome.

[yolanski]

beautiful song and great video - too bad I cannot link it so that more can watch it - he has sucn an angelic voice

[plarkmoby]

That got me right there.

[bajovato]

If you like this guy ya'll, then you should check out JADE DAY from Austin, TX. He's an AMAZING singer!!!

[solcitobonito]

[candelesita]
