  • I have met the guy after a gig, he took the time to talk to people and he is a top guy, really nice and puts a lot of modern stars to shame

  • "Life weighs a ton, have you had enough?"

  • I'm pretty sure this isn't even technically singing. It's just talking with emphasis to a bit of basic music. How the FUCK do you all bang on about how talented this bloke is. A sea cucumber could write and sing better.

  • I would like to hear one of your songs mate. do u play music? you should check out what the night delivers his new album before you judge him because of one song. this guy can sing better live which is rare. check out his song myself again. but yeah put on of your songs up i would love to hear it

  • Does anyone know where I can get this album in the US??? I'm going crazy.

  • @honestlyyesno surely you can get it off iTunes?

  • I think this song is amazing. Everything this guy writes. He is so good. Simple and clever. So mature. I hope to reach his level one day. I'm on way. And its only a good thing that people like Scott Matthews are my major influences.

  • looks like that man needs a drink

  • stupid bloody horse.

  • I saw Scott at Leeds a few times and the man was a legend and he said he was a fan of sounddgarden so is it any surprise that it may have a hint of them in it and it has his own personal touch which I find mind blowing. The guy has a style of his own that goes from electronic to acoustic with ease. Don't just sit there and slate a youtube video if you have, get off your fat arse's and see the man live because that is where you will see the true quality of the dude. More gigs in Yorkshire please

  • i think passing stranger is overrated by a lot of the fans. It's a great album, but not a "revelation". I found some of the studio versions of the songs a tiny bit disappointing in comparison to the live versions, like Sweet Scented Figure (listen to the AOL live version) or Eyes Wider than Before (all the live versions are better than the studio version). Plus Elsewhere has some great songs, like Fractured, Underlying Lies, Jagged Melody, Nothing's Quite Right Here. I think it's almost as good.

  • next jeff buckley!!!

  • he sounds a bit like eddie vedder in a couple places in this song!

  • Sweet

  • terrible terrible song from a once sublime talent

  • @csikszentmihalyi Don't be so neg let the man explore and try different styles and besides it's all perspective and you are entitled to your opinion. Wrong as it is LOL

  • Sounds like Chris Cornell here. Awesome.

  • This song is great but the album overall wasn't even close to as good as Passing Stranger. Passing Stranger was a revelation.

  • I need a tab of this...

  • It does'nt get much better does it really, message to all other musicians out there - watch and learn.

    Watch out for Ballarina Lake in 2011

  • Is anyone else wondering how the fuck he ended up there?

    AMAZING song btw.. Love scott, really brilliant.

  • I would keep the money and just tumble down the remaining 8 feet. :) (Great video but not a very convincing cliff!)

  • Brilliant!

  • Very good song ! Never heard of this guy before.... luckely I have now !

  • "Elsewhere" is darker and more moody than "Passing Stranger", but that is by no means a bad thing. The album didn't strike me as being any less beautiful than the previous. I think it's good that he did something different with this one, it turned out awesome, in my opinion.

  • I can never get enough of this song! I love it! :)

  • like a mix of Radiohead, Ashcroft, and Nick Drake. Wonderful, but I can't even buy an MP3 of this release in the states. WTF?

  • Whhhaaaat! How on earth can you compare this to something James Morrison would do!

    Scott Matthews RRRUUUULLLEEESSSS!!!

    Deserves much more recognition!

  • his voice has a similar timbre. But apart from that, they are totally different artists.

  • so much promise from his 1st album...now this!! This song sounds like something james morrison would do.

  • He's the man. Brilliant musician.

  • The man is a genius. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree with

    mushymushy76

    amazing song

    he has an amazing voice

    definitively love this song.

  • genius indeed

  • please people stop with all the comparisons and just enjoy something that doesnt sound like it was born out of a tv show or a advert posted in fame hungry teen weekly.....scott mattews is amazing and STANDS ALONE in his music

  • I love this song.

  • I loved Passing Stranger. It was such a good album. This second one just isn't right. Everything I loved about the first album is completely missing from this one.

  • ok like no elusive is it !! pep were comparing him 2 jeff buckley at a syage lol nt even close ..gd artist dnt get me wrong but no comparison

  • See him live solo, then you might think differently. Amazing guitar, amazing voice. As far as I'm concerned, the closest thing we have to Jeff alive. And, funnily enough, 'Elusive' is the weakest song live.

  • i completely agree, also with the elusive point.

  • is it me or does this guy sound just a tad like nick drake at the beggining of the song??????? pretty awesome song too btw

  • Great, great artist.

  • The song speaks for itself! Quality!

  • This is stunning. Scott is a genius.

  • All this crap comes from Tinchy Stryder and idiots who want to be kissed and not killed.

    On topic I like this song as a change from Scott's first album I especially like the bass at the start and the line. "I leave you alone, but not on your own"

    If only these fools who post pointlees chain actually watched this video.

  • How is Scott Matthews not a household name - he is quality. Hopefully it wont be long before other people see that!

  • Fuck of with all the spamming, I don't need to know if I'm a good kisser, if I'm going to meet the love of my life tomorrow, or if I'm going to die if I don't lick my toes and do the YMCA. I just want to listen to this fucking awesome song, and read comments of the people who think the same.

  • shades of Jeff, Percy, Drakey et al, but a true unique style, this man is awesomely talented!!!!!!!

  • i swear theres traces of chris cornell in those vocals and a little bit of vedder

  • Wonderful song Scott. Your music is so easy to listen and full of soul.

  • someone send me this songg pleaasseeeeeee

  • What an amazing song and video... I've been listening to this constantly since it was available on the net... and whats with all the twits leaving all the spam comments... would ye ever F**K OFF and get a life!!! well done Scotty, cant wait to see you in Whelans on the 28th. Patch.

  • What's with the spamming?????

    SO glad Scott is back!!

  • Anyone see the spammers??????

    or are they invisible O.o

  • dont worry i see em 2 but what the hell do the mean by profit? how could they make money out of it????

  • I think the best day of your life will be when you grow out of posting this shit & spend a minute listening to the quality of the music you're disrespecting by your actions. Learn a trade, get a hobby, whatever, but seriously dude, grow up or get help...

  • Okays dude

    Thanks for your concern

  • This is a great video with a strong message and of course a fabulous song!

  • This is just from listening. Feel free to correct.
