  • The choir in the background makes this song. Terrific production.

  • Someone's gonna get shot soon if this doesn't appear in the show soon, a trailer wasn't enough.

  • walking dead brought me here, and i'm very glad it did! :D

  • Fuck "the walking dead" it was X-Files season 5 that got me here. and fuck your thumbs.

  • One of the best songs ever written.

  • @wideernie Yes, one of the greatest ever......good taste. Good day, Patricia

  • I used to get so annoyed when the radio jock would talk all over the end of this song, as if they never ever listened to it all to realize there was some really great stuff at the end. It is great to be able to hear the ENTIRE song. Thanks.

  • Yeah The Walking Dead brought me here also....

  • From the Spring of '66, this is an all-time vocal/ production masterwork from Bob Gaudio, Bob Crewe, & The Walkers. Haunting & Heartbreaking. Wolfsky9

  • what a beautiful song

  • thumbs up if Walking Dead brought you here, also

    notice in the WD that the call zombies WALKERS and the people who wrought the song are caleed the WALKER brothers...hmm...

  • I happened upon this song on the radio and really liked it, but I wish I were born even later. I'd love to have another era or two worth of music to explore.

  • A great record from a smashing bunch of guys. I was so lucky to of been around in those days. I feel sorry for the younger generation today, there's nothing left for them now musically because we had the cream of the crop of music and talent. There's nothing or nobody these days who will ever come close to the quality and standards back then. Thank you for posting.

  • The older I get (now 57) the more I appreciate wonderful music like this that I grew up with....

  • Rick is coming back the 16 of October cant wait

  • I gotta admit, I found this song from the Walking Dead trailer last year. Since then, I've found a fondness for the Walker Bros. Its good to know they live on(find me one person who saw the WD trailer and didn't look up this song). This pretty much captures a certain sadness. Not miserable, just.....sad.

  • Yes the Righteous Bros. could very well have done this tune, and not many would know the difference. Picked up a DVD called Scott Walker 30th Century Man. He's been living the life of a recluse for over 40 some years now, and recording about 1 album every 10 years or so....sorry to say..the music is very very shocking and scary...almost satanic in a sad way....nothing at all like this tune, or Bacharach's "Make it Easy On Yourself"....he was born in Hamilton, Ohio!

  • haunting song; wish this group had done more.

  • I Can't Catch My Breath.......God, This Is So Sad & Beautiful.

  • These guys have an act like no other. 1966 was a great year and these guys were a part of it. Never get tired of their sound.

  • Agreed gentlemen, going onto 57 myself (ouch) this year, where have all the good times gone?

  • Thanks for posting this song. This is a song from my childhood. I'm 55 now and I believe I grew up during the best music available to the ear.

  • @SuperBrotherBob Yes we did. Just turned the big 5-0 myself.

  • @SuperBrotherBob Well said, I grew up in the 80's and like a lot of 80's and other music but NOTHING compares to the sounds of the 60's....NOTHING

  • I know that the production of this version by the Walker Brothers sounds like a Phil Spector work, but I still prefer the Original song by Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons, not this cover, but I like this too!

  • Right up there with Here comes the sun and God only knows

  • A classic song & I will forever love that 1960's-big-echo-reverb-Phil Spector-wall-of-sound production era. Beautiful.

  • Boy .. two legends lost recently (at least two) John Walker and Rob Grill. These songs remind me of working 48 hours a week and living at home with parents, just to buy a Muscle Car to go cruising (GTO's , Chevelles)

  • What a classic, summer of 1966; just before things got crazy.

  • A stand alone song that shows what makes a classic.

  • My husband died May 16th 2011& & we would have been married 40 years this Fall. This song expresses exactly how I feel. When I hear this song it helps me shed the tears that I try to hold back that really need to be released. A good CRY helps with the grieving & some of those "hurting" songs help get it out where it`s bottled up inside. The Walker Bros. do such a marvelous job....the right voice & wonderful music.

  • @TheAngelCrab sorry for your lose - hope the sun does shine for you again.......

  • @TheAngelCrab -- I am so sorry to read of your loss. I know the time you were together was not long enough. I lost my wife of 28 years just 8 months ago to cancer and am finally beginning to want to live again. It was the 2nd marriage for both of us and we knew this one was right. She was my One Great Love and the best friend I've ever had. I never thought the tears would ever stop--they may not--but they are becoming fewer and are beginning to bring back the good memories. God bless you.

  • @mrtubesteak2 God Bless you Brother. Hang in there!

  • @mhomer4 -- Thank you, Brother, thank you. God bless you, too. Life is getting better.

  • IT Sounds Like The Merchents way back In 1967

  • Haunting

  • Played this cut on my evening air show on WOAI-AM, 1200Khz., 50-KW, in late 1969-early 1970....Had numerous requests from all over the US, Canada and Mexico...I do hear a Phil Spector sound/influence...Music like this will never be the same again...Real Golden Age R&R....Miss it...!!!

  • @paradesound You are so right about that! I am a real 60's music lover and I'm so greatful for YouTube so we can listen to these beautiful songs. My favorite singer is Gene Pitney. I must have attended 40 concerts between 2000- 2006. Late groupie but it sure was fun!

  • @paradesound Nice, i'm 31, but have always said that I was born in the wrong generation. DEFIANTLY a Phil Spector wall of sound influence (I actually looked it up last year to see if he had produced it since it sounded just like something he'd do). I'm not sure, but it sounds like Hal Blaine playing drums on this song, not many people had this drum sound in 66 (Hal's Monster kit).

  • Thumbs up if you found this song through The Walking Dead

  • @MajorAALAN no i found it through Truly, Madly, deeply. LOL

  • @MajorAALAN And how fitting was it lol? Awesome song and show

  • some of their songs had a phil spector influence, i think.

  • How good is this????????/

  • I dare anyone to make an AMV out of this...

  • @spacebullseye I want to try :-)

  • The best version of this song is from TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY <3

  • @Frankiethenum1bunny That is a lie.

  • @aquilest003

    It actually isn't. That's just MY opinion. Plus, why would I lie on a youtube comment?

  • @Frankiethenum1bunny XD ok, ok, sorry.

  • @Frankiethenum1bunny truly maddly deeply shit you talk

  • @SuperVinny55 What are you talking about?

  • Now an old guy saw the Walker Brothers in Manchester England at Odeon Oxford Road in I think 1969 on with Roy Orbision, Lulu and others whom I can't remember. At the time they were very big in the UK and could not hear their performance.

    Roy Orbison however would not sing until everybody was quiet.

    They were a great group very big in UK in mid to late 60's. Great records still being played on advert on TV tonight.

  • Great group from the really not so distant past. Wonderful song that brings back such wonderful memories. God rest your soul,John

  • Thank You John Maus (Walker) For Your Wonderful Voice And For All The Memories! Rest In Peace.

  • RIP John Walker

  • Rest in peace, John...

  • RIP John, Thanks.

  • R.I.P. john

  • Abig part of the Walker sound. RIP

  • Love it - RIP John x

  • Love it - RIP John x

  • Unique band,beautiful strong voices.

  • Great voice. RIP.

  • you will always be missed

  • RIP John

  • when did he die? i haven't heard anything!

  • Great song. Sorry to hear about John's death.

  • RIP JOHN the sun shines for you in heaven

  • Rest in Peace John Walker

  • God I hate Walking Dead fans.. They are almost as bad as GTA fans. When they hear Beethoven's 9th they probably say "OMG Clockwork Orange!!!". Well, maybe they haven't seen it cos it was made before 2005.

  • RIP John You made such beautiful music

  • R.I.P. John

  • RIP John Walker

  • A couple of months ago I found out my high school lost a fight with a wrecking ball and today I discover that John is dead. What's the connection? This song was No1 the day I was born and another part of my history is gone. That's life. R.I.P. John.

  • rip john

  • Superstars in the UK & Europe when I was young.

    R.I.P John

  • R.I.P.

    

  • Sad news tonight, John Maus has died....

  • What happened to the comments of The Walking Dead?

  • That is whats known as classic production and talent to go along with it-timeless!!

  • don't write em, sing em, or produce em like that anymore...pity

  • Now thats what i call TALENT !!!!!!!

    1350allan

  • Now thats what i call TALENT !!!!!!!

  • I always thought these were a british band - well you live and learn.

  • Fantastic memory, song & vocal!

  • IT'S SOOOOO GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Cant help thinking if this great song had been released now for the first time it would be a huge success as it seems timeless to me. That beautiful voice of Scott Engel. mmmmmmm. We never got enough of it.

  • Take it away deep voices.

  • Yes, awesome song. Scott Engel, my first crush at the age of 10....

    Still love this song so much. Never seem to hear their music played today. under-rated band of the 60's.

  • Loneliness is the cloak I wear,

    A deep shade of blue is always there,…

    Emptiness is the place I’m in,

    With nothing to loose,

    But no more to win,

    Wanna join me in?

  • Broadcasting on emergency channel will be approaching Atlanta on Highway 85. Anybody reads please respond. "Rick Grimes" Walking Dead

  • I'm British , and I always appreciated them ...this is one of the finest pop songs ever written ...

  • @DabAndrew I am Mexican and I support your appreciation of this great American band along with the brightness of this wonderful song.

    

  • this guy from UK the new scott walker? - search 'woven orbit'

  • I'm 47 years old now and first heard this song, when I was about twenty and I loved it from the start! It's good to see that so many young people appreciate this song, because of the Walking Dead trailer. I am a teacher by profession and teach young kids between 16 and 20 years old; I can assure you most of them know this song by the Walker Brothers and they love it. Despite hiphop, house or whatever...they still love the sound of the sixties!!

  • @Geense1963 Everyone Loves The 60's!! I am 20 Years Old And I Love Them!!

  • One of the greatest hooks ever.

  • The original was mono...this cut is mono....

  • Is this in stereo or mono?

  • Played this song on my evening show (WOAI-AM, 1200Khz, 50,000 watts) fall of '69, summer of '70. Had numerous requests to play the cut from Canada, most of the US and Mexico...The music will never be the same...!!! That was the 'golden age" of rock and REAL music...!!!

  • Thank You Kindly for this posting....brings back wonderful memories of my youth...

  • The sun ain't gonna shine anymore (Frank Darabont mix)

  • one of the best.

  • Jeg husker den godt - rigtig kraftfuld sangstemme. Hilsen Bente

  • @micho111111111111111 with Walker: Texas Ranger! =p

  • Their music and singing are very similar to the sound of the 60's and the Righteous Bros. It's too bad they didn't make it here, but that happened to a lot of artists, Very sad huh? thx for posting...phyllis

  • Grew up listening to this song, mothers favourite and played buy my pa when they were courting. amazing.

  • GOD, WHAT A SOUND!!

    "SPECTOR" ENVOLVED????

  • This is one of the most hypnotic, melancholy, beautiful song I ever heard. It reflects

    a warmer more connected society. The 60's had their problems but not the coldness

    and disconnect of our times

  • this is how i am feeling right now.

  • @80sVidLover Don't think you are the complete cause of a situation, there are always other factors, don't let despair get you, give thanks to the blessings you have right now...and turn to the one who pulled me out of a similar situation..Jesus Christ...seven years ago I lost my job, my house, my wife and had no one to turn to. At my lowest, lonliest point , He came into my life, pulled me out of that pit, and I have not been lonely or in despair since..trust Him, He loves and cares for you.

  • Wow a zombie movie got me listening to the 60s

  • i wish my sun would come back.

  • Every time I hear this song I remember a movie - Truly, Madly, Deeply. Alan Rickman did a great job performing this song :)

  • @bijou201 I love that movie! It's how I first heard this song..long ago.

  • Truly, Madly, Deeply sent me here...hmmmmm ghosts 'n' zombies seems to be a theme developing here

  • @nephelegereta Yes, the walking dead came before :D

  • 2 people aint gonna shine anymore

  • the lush overdubs and orchestrals sound very "Spectoral." :) :) :)

  • Never heard this song before until today. I was born in 1979 and this song is AWESOME!!

  • The Walking Brothers..................

  • Just like a Martin Scorsese film, the story goes that this song was playing when British mobster Ronnie Kray (of the Kray twins) shot and killed George Cornell in the Blind Beggar pub in London.

  • This has always been a fantastic record, but what's a walking dead?

  • @takemeback2 if ur serious,u will be the first walkin dead i will shoot in the head.

  • @patriotpunk666 Okay, I'll make a note of it.

  • such sweet melancholy :)

  • love this sound, it's also great for a good cry if you need one.

  • This record is my all time favourite . The most perfect pop song ever recorded and i never tire of playing it. Agreat arrangement by ivor raymode . It knocks Frankie Valli`s original into the long grass superamos31

  • Awesome song.

    Also "Walker" Brothers. =P

    Think about it.

  • @GizmoTheFFF Haha, didn't notice that before funnily enough.

  • his song has haunted me since it came out...the vocals and harmony with the intrumentals is so f..king great.....memories abound!!!!!

  • I heard this on The Walking dead trailer. This is a great song!!!!!

  • just love the phil spector type wall of sound on this,but the lyrics and delivery are fantastic also - super song

  • i like this song

  • Great, great, GREAT song! Blasting down the road on a new Triumph Bonneville in 1965 and this song echoing in my head - life was perfect!

  • @Ricopolico As a current rider of a 1969 Triumph Trophy, nothing beats the old songs of yesteryear.

  • I could totally see this song being used in "Alan Wake"

  • @LoserTMTKidz

    Oh that would be awesome! Quick, let's tell Remedy to put this song in the sequel!

  • @LoserTMTKidz

    'could have been used in "Heavy Rain" too...

  • was looking for this song as hell D: finally found it :)

    Great song

  • It's ironic that they are called "the walker" brother, I wonder if the show picked this song because of that.

  • @arandajose20 the show is based off a graphic novel... that's where the "walker" term cam from.

  • @Westcroft Yes, but maybe the producers though it would be a good idea to pick a band that had the name "walker" in it, because that's what the zombies are called.

  • @arandajose20 it was.

  • @arandajose20 if that's the case they could have used a Rob Zombie song, hahaha xD

  • Spiro, I concur

  • Just watched the Premiere, they shoulda played this song when the zombies were eating Mr.Horse instead of that other one O.o

  • @SpiroHrvoje1989 damn the horse part was sad! I was like nooooooo not the horse!

  • "The Walking Dead" . . . finally someone got zombies right ! ! !

  • Well Walking Dead fans, its almost time! ENJOY! X)

  • So emotional and i heard it from walking dead got me interested now i love this band :D thanks kirkman

  • this only made me sad :(
