Hola. Recién te descubro. Eres genial
Sunday is gloomy, My hours are slumberless. Dearest, the shadows I live with are numberless. Little white flowers Will never awaken you. Not where that black coach Of sorrow has taken you. It's a Gloomy Sunday... Angels have no thought Of ever returning you. Would they be angry If I thought of joining you? Soon there'll be candles And prayers that are said, I know. Let them not weep, Let them know that I'm glad to go. Death is a dream, For in death I'm caressing you. With the last breath of my soul, I'll be blessin' you. Gloomy Sunday Gloomy Sunday With shadows I spend it all My heart and I have decided to end it all

I thought I knew most of the great American song book but I never heard this song. I purchased both of Matt's CD's. Every song on both albums are a pleasure to listen to with Matt's rich baritone and the great band and arrangements. I'd love to hear Matt do a standards CD with the basic jazz trio as Tony Bennett has done thru the years.
