Scott Matthews covering The Smiths - The Boy with the Thorn in His Side

[bradford66]

Thanks for posting, incredible version!!!

[MrHumphreyDavy]

You wouldn't understand, good sons like you, never do.

[Jeffredo729]

Excellent, beautiful cover (that doesn't insult the incredible original). Cheers.

[sinister066]

this is a fine tribute. is it not?

[jimmypagejnr]

The best version of this song in my opinion.

[OneStringLicks]

The pin on his jacket is an Elliott Smith one. I remember talking to him after a show and spotting the very same badge! Cool shit!

[kdelacour]

isn't this actually a cover of a cover? Jeff Buckley's version seems pretty close?

[Themexicanguanorat]

Is that a Jeff Buckley pin on his jacket?

[phargow]

after Jeff's version, now i'm hearing this one...and loving it...and i never heard the original lol i probably should, but it means i'd have to stop replaying this video for a few minutes...

...don't think i can!

[MrMentllet]

@phargow you really should listen to the original, i like morrissey a lot, and i think all of the versions i have heard so far are preety good (this, buckley's and dinosar jr.)

i can't choose the best one

[edmedmoped]

Lovelylovelylovely.

[moistphily]

lovely cover of a great song

[murlach1]

this guy, and guys like him should be at the fore-front of the international music scene! disgrace that people would rather listen to commercial music than this, its beautiful! where have peoples souls gone? , Scott Matthews is a true musician, we Love you Scott!!

[THthefirst]

@murlach1 this is commercial music, he sold it and made money out of it, just like the Smiths. What you mean to say is that it is good music, rather than disposable shitty pop. And on that point I would entirely agree with you.

[nickywicky11]

This is a wonderful version of one my faves - really quite emotional and touching. Thank you.

[julesrules1961]

Thankyou. That was stunning.

[albertelliswearengen]

This only having 421 views is a disgrace

[funkyiceman]

Great version- I've heard him do this on iTunes festival but this is better! Thanks!

[Boulotaur2024]
