My daughter just called my attention to this -- had no idea about it, but delighted that you not only record songs in the genre I listened to all through my youth and still cherish, but that you've given my song new life by transforming it into this wonderful arrangement (kudos to Callum Au). I'm about to download your album, and so pleased to learn of your work. Jeff Fortgang

[@TheMattForbes]

Jeff -- What a thrill and privilege it is to hear from you! Thank you for your very kind words -- they mean a great deal! It pleases me so much to hear we did this incredible piece of songwriting justice (and within a musical idiom you continue to be so fond of) I had attempted to contact you when we first released it, so I'm only too happy your daughter stumbled upon it. It remains one of my absolute favorite songs (and one of the most requested at my shows) -- so thank you for giving us all such a remarkable vehicle for our talents! Wishing you only the best, -Matt

I love this cover! My dad wrote this song. :) I'm sure he'll love the cover, too.

[@TheMattForbes]

Hey Becky! Thanks for writing -- that's incredible! I actually tried contacting your Dad when we released this (to get him a copy) but couldn't track him down. I've always loved this song so hopefully he enjoys our spin on it!

[@kamaludinramdanramayuda1240]

Some guys have all the luck Some guys have all the pain Some guys get all the breaks Some guys do nothing but complain Alone in a crowd on a bus after working, I'm dreaming The guy next to me has a girl in his arms, my arms are empty How does it feel when the girl next to you says she loves you? Seems so unfair when there's love everywhere but there's none for me Some guys have all the luck Some guys have all the pain Some guys get all the breaks Some guys do nothing but complain Woo woo woo Woo woo woo Someone to take on a walk by the lake Lord, let it be me Someone who's shy, someone who'd cry at sad movies I know I would die if I ever found out she was foolin' me You're just a dream, and as real as it seems, I ain't that lucky Some guys have all the luck…

[@ennysiregar2554]

@Matt Forbes Much more upbeat spin that leaves you with a totally different sentiment. I just stumbled across your collection (also NYU alum) and love your use of live musicians [strings especially], integration with electric bass and guitars, and what you're doing

Wow! Love it" Thanks for share it! El crooner canadiense Matt Forbes incluyo esta versión muy especial del "Some Guys Have All The Luck" de Rod Stewart como un bonus track de su segundo álbum, "Solitary Man", publicado en 2017. Un estupendo álbum con once temas más dos bonus que la estación de radio KJAZZ 88.1 FM describió como... 'El Álbum #1 de standards en 2017 por un vocalista masculino'. Un trabajo que incluye versiones tan especiales como esta, o la del clásico de Bobby Caldwell "What You Won’t Do For Love". #SmoothVocals
