This is really the only song where he remotely sounds like Jeff. He makes good music though, people! Who cares who he sounds like as long as he's good?!?!
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...
he has a similarity to jeff buckley harmonically all other comparisons were in my opinion horrible choices,But i wouldnt say he is as good as a singer as Buckley. Then again Jeff Buckley is Jeff Buckley. Sounds like he is not such a good guitar player at least while he sings. But one thing i have to say about Scott is that he is a great song writer ... this song is STRONG and powerful and yet its this soft angelic piece. Great music
When introducing him to my ex, I said he could be compared to Jeff Buckley, and he said that he sounds nothing like him. Made me feel like a top class twonk. I'm glad that some people agree with me! x
I've heard people cmopare Scott's voice to Eddie Vedder's....yeah Vedder is good indeed and that is one serious claim but I am a Pearl Jam fan saying that a Chris Cornell comparison is much more the reality....a bloody great song and I hope this kid goes far....I saw him in Ireland recently and I can't wait till he comes back..might get him onstage with us!!!
He sure does make beautiful music! I cant wait until he comes to Australia so I can see him live myself! Why has he been kept so quiet: he doesnt even get played on our more "alternative" (ie. non commercial) station JJJ over here!

I went to school with this guy, trust me he is/was a geek. In 1985 he appeared at my junior school speaking in an american accent. The guy is a total fake. He is British so sing with a British accent!
@yarnoshnewman You are an idiot. Accents are rarely heard while singing. Besides for a few different pronunciations, you would not be able to tell The Beatles were British.

In 1985 Scott Matthews was 9...
First of all, I doubt you went to school with him.
Second of all, why would someone make judgements on a male adults character based on something he did when he was 9?
You're an illogical (stupid) person.

Bullshit. You know nothing about music. Go watch whatever pieces of shit you like.
But yeah this video is pretty bad quality. The song is brilliant though. I love the chorus.
