Scott Matthews - Passing Stranger

[Claudiusmach]

The great spirits are back thanks god!!! thanks mankind, thanks us thanks music

[BorderReiver73]

man, this dude is a rare talent. In a time when we have had a whole load of so-called singer songwriters crop up recently in the UK, this is one guy that is genuinely proper class and cool. A real diamond.

[rachelperry19851]

See you at Firefly Festival Mr Matthews!! Love you to bits!! Xx

[eliasDK]

such good song that exactly describes my life....

[ASideNote]

i think i'm in love..

[hawksmu]

3 people must just be passing strangers

[PurpledDummy123]

I found this guy on accident, because he happens to have the same last name as me. Boy am I soooo happy I did. He is amazing! I love when I hear a voice straight from Jesus! Beautifully talented! I wish he would play a concert here in America, everyone would love him!

[louisalive]

@PurpledDummy123 what's jesus got to do with it?...

[efcstewyh2009]

3 dislikes bastards!!!!!

[Jediwise1]

I just love this song!! :D I've even gone and purchased the album from ebay lol

I think its absolutely amazing!! <3

When he's singin and playing it looks so effortless ...

[mckyle9]

fuckin quality!

[arniemazmax]

He looks a bit like Jim....and that can never be a bad thing

[matol666]

Pure talent!

[kingmonkey18]

what key is the harmonica?

[georgydoors]

@kingmonkey18 Db Major in this and on the record (with the capo 1st fret). C major live these days, no capo. :-D

[kingmonkey18]

@georgydoors ah i see. cheers bro!

[LolaVolaHola]

I hear some Jeff Buckley in him, the same soulful nassaly-ish voice, but still his very own voice. I'm glad i discovered Scott!

[JAMAILBUG]

why doesnt everyone not know this .....exactly

[Flimflamflimflam]

He's a thousand times better than Jack Johnson!

[jKeM6808]

@Flimflamflimflam the two artists are completly different if you ask me..can't really compare apart from the fact that they are both holding a guitar.

[MsKevinAndrew]

google mp3iffy to download this song from youtube.

[pablo0191]

Simply sublime!

[king5ley]

PERFECT!

[flipkoos]

Scott Matthews is truly one af the best singer-songwriters alive! What a great voice he has! Is this small concert available on dvd or something?

[MissBobbyMcGee77]

this is the sound I've been looking for. aww what a voice.

[nnanook]

i think hes got a similar sound to John Martin, obviously his voice doesn't sound exactly the same but its reminiscent

[sassalbridge]

Simply great artist and song...I would like so much to see this brilliant singer in concert.He remember  Jeff Buckley for his sensibility and voice...Thanks Scott.

[RaysTrack]

"that smile is not your own" is such a great line - wondeful song and talent.

[BeeBeeZed]

anyone know the tunning and chords :D

Brilliant!

[ellieb01]

i got a picture with this guy he was such a legend when i met him he's so down to earth and his songs are just amazing :D (Y)

[neil1963creed]

I heard 'Elusive' and thought it was Buckley re-incarnated...so naturally went out and bought the album. This guy is awesome!

[acedrums]

an obvious point, but the guitar is also a twelve string.

[louisalive]

Genius, we need more artist like this!

[fabviale]

This is totally incredible !!! Real artists are still alive ... though buried in mountains of indifference ...

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

I discovered this guy completely by mistake. and im glad i did.

[georgydoors]

Ahh can't quite work out what vocal mic he's using here, he's been using a Neaumann KMS 104 or 105 for the tour just gone, I think...

As for the guitar, that's mic'd up with two AKG 414's and the guitar is infact a Norman with a Gibson Hummingbird scratch plate to confuse you.

Oh and a Hohner Marine Band harmonica in Db on the record and C live these days I believe...

[sprinterboy315]

The vocal is Neaumann KMS 104, and the rest is bang on my friend. My brother is the sound engineer.

[Frederikamusic]

please, what microphone does he use for his voice ? and for the guitar ?

and which martin is that ?!

a m a z i n g

[xkraust]

Terrific!

[edmedmoped]

#The coffee you poured me is cold, the paper I'm reading is old, and that smile is not your own#.

Lovely lyrics :)

[crank01]

went to see scott live on tuesday in bristol, got to meet him afterwards, he's a really cool guy, and very funny! his new album is quality...love this song though

[jimiwhat]

he sits there like he is blind or something like the old blnd blues man . but i like hs music and thats what its about

[maffauk32]

thats my cousin man,hes cool

[lumiere1955]

@maffauk32 Are you kidding? Then, please tell him, his music is magnificent. I love it.

[julianmarti]

@maffauk32 tell your cousin I've been putting on his songs on the radio in Argentina. I live in Buenos Aires. Great Stuff. Moving.

[destrucktor]

@maffauk32 Tell your cousin that his songs are incredibly moving, and has amazing feel and that's coming from a guy who's main music choice is death metal and grindcore. No matter the genre, some bands/artists just connect with you.

[CJSticky]

awsome man! he supported Foo fighters on their acoustic tour a few years back which i thinks pretty darn cool!

Big up wolverhampton ^_^ V6 MANZ

[1jmx]

he reminds me of "ed harcourt" and a bit of "nick drake"

nice,,

[dreambrother37]

and jeff buckley!

[amelieeeee]

woooooooo!thanks god for that guy

[jwattie]

This guy is mates with my best mate! How cool is that! I love him!

[laughinggnome11]

does anyone know the chords???? cheers

[chesto18]

yeah kinda capo 1st fret verse Gmaj(320003) Am7(x02013) A#m7(x13131) Am(x02210) chorus Am7(x02010) Cmaj(x32010) Gmaj(320003) although in this video he picks the Am7 and Cmaj chords higher up the neck, possibly just picking at the higher treble strings, as it seems an octave higher than if you try and repeat it on a 6-string. remember all chords are relative to the capo

[belrando]

Marten Haanstra below here has really changed my life by bringing me in contact with the music of Scott Matthews. He is the motherf*cking kick-ass best singersongwriter ever!

[martenhaanstra]
