Big Louise... Scott Walker

[chavochavo22]

I hate my life and the person I am supposed to be everyday. But everytime I listen to Scott, all the filth in my life could not be any more beautiful.

Thank you so much Scott for being the only comforting voice in my head

[cosmicrider287]

what a phenomenal song,i mean unbelievable.

[metalgearsolid20111]

Always been one of my favourites of scotts.The imagery is heartbreaking.

[8733hans]

Always loved this played it a lot in 1969

[zarathustra1077]

............She's a haunted house and her windows are broken..............

The imagery just there is quite astounding :)

[godfishgod]

Scott 3, Scott 4...the two best albums released by Scott Walker in 1969...no question!

[Trudeau7900]

Scott Walker 3 is still my favourite of the first four solo albums he put out. And songs like this and "It's Raining Today" are why. Astounding.

[TLJ55]

just beautiful. his voice, the lyrics, the arrangement...

[pontello3]

still fantastic!

[XxBeatlesforeverxX]

Does anybody know where I can find a nice stack of interviews of him during this era? Besides the documentary, I mean.

[cosmicrider287]

tremendous song.it never fails to knocks me out.gonna dig up all his albums now.

[johnniedent]

He was the most handsome of guys with the most incredible voice.

[madsketcher]

I was taking a walk, listening to Scott 3 tonight... this song is SO GRAPHICALLY DEPRESSING. And so beautiful to listen to. I aspire to make music like this.

[cosmicrider287]

a masterpiece alright.

[frogface66]

romantic observations as seen from the 4th dimension.

This song blows me away every time I hear it.

[RitualEcho]

"Friends" ??



[lukeyboy123able]

Beautiful!

[peppertree83]

I have never been able to work out why this song has such a profound effect on me, the emotions and visuals this song evokes are indescribable. Whenever i hear this my whole mood changes, my body becomes tense and i am sent scrambling for the floor or anything that will support me. The tragedy in this song is unbearable but the sheer beauty of the words and the music always pull me back in, This is not pop music, here Scott is working on an entirely different level.

[miloman51]

@peppertree83 Thank you for your words, i can add only this " its a terrible beauty hes made"

[zarathustra1077]

Still unsurpassed lyrically.

'She's a haunted house and her windows are broken'

This line alone creates such powerful imagery it's almost unconceivable.

YOU CAN KEEP YER BOB DYLAN!

[godfishgod]

His lyrics are all amazing...but "She fills the bags, 'neath her eyes with the moonbeams" is up there!!

[anyoneiknow]

Thank you so much for posting this. I just had a chat with my 80 year old dad thousands of miles away, and he mentioned how he loved Scott Walker's voice. He gave me some lyrics, but didn't know the song they came from. I was able to find this posting and direct him to it on Youtube.

[charliemctruth]

@anyoneiknow

It makes it all worth while

[LazloLorenzo]

One of the true musical geniuses in the pop field. Absolutely uncompromised artistry. Pretty much everyone and everything else in the genre sounds like it was done by children in comparison.

[raceching]

For a guy who had everything going for him in the 60's. Looks, voice, charisma and talent. I think inside he was haunted. He was in the limelight and yet, part of him was always trying to get away from it. Wonderful voice with a lot of emotion.

[madsketcher]

@raceching It's such a part of his appeal. Have you watched 30th Century Man yet? In it he mentions his constant nightmares. One can only wonder what's going on in that dark mind of his!

[creolelady182]

Scott Walker is a big talent but why he didnt stay in the U.S and make it big there I will never know

[bassbird]

@creolelady182  because they like him more in the UK

[tubbymarshall]

anyone know what he's doing now? is he still alive n kicking?

[leehazlewoodism]

@tubbymarshall Still alive, still reclusive, still recording. There's a recent film about him called Scott Walker: 30 Century Man.

[tubbymarshall]

@leehazlewoodism thank you.

[Gregorio7771]

SCOTT IS THE NUMBER ONE!

[stopmeltingme]

Excellent

[serafinobolletta]

still a fucking masterpiece!

[HALFSQUASHED]

Big Louise, Boy Child and Sleepwalkers Woman together with a pair of headphones = musical perfection.

[rokky6969]

[spuddyboylegend]

i,ve listen to Scott walker all my life and i,m 11

HEis the best  you should listen to all his songs

[odoanna1]

It's a one off. No other voice like it...

[kazkaz52]

Beautiful....I've never heard this kind of attractive voice in my life.

[DreamPark9]

Why is it that every time I discover another Scott Walker song...It's always so brilliant...*

[brothernumbefour]

yes Scott Liverpool 79  Erics, the Teardops, Bunnymen n acid join the dots !

[louron19]

My ABSOLUTE favorite SW Song! Beautiful...

[CJOKUSAP]

Howlycoyote sounds like a groupie who only got fucked by two of the Walker Brothers. I wonder which one gave her the kb?

[wiredtojupiter]

Lulu said on tv she was in terribly in love with Scott, aw! but he treated her as if she was a kid sister, - broke her heart! yes the Walker Bros were great!

[cosmicwarrior287]

i call this a awesome minisymphony

[weezmatron]

um, i think howlycoyote is jm's sister or something. why do you need to say nasty things about scott walker? he's sacrificed a lot in order to do the things he cares about and everybody who knows about him loves him. aren't there enough people who do whatever the pop music industry wants them to do? does it really make sense to bash somebody for not doing that? i love this song and i'm a loyal sw fan. not sure what howlycoyote's problem is.

[veadlsteak]

Really isn't this Scott's song. I don't hear any harmonies on here. if it is why are you on here

Howlycoyote, go to the walker brothers site &

comment. If you like John, you like John, that's

ok. I like Scott. he's cute.

[pontello3]

scott walker is a fucking genius!

[lunafesto]

She had a big crush on Scott.

I guess she would have had to wait in line though!

Men and women both adored him heaps!

[derfesche]

Could this song have something to do with Lulu? I've always associated it with an ageing transvestite...

[Treaty4]

Beautifulllllllllllllllll.....­...... And the presentation of photos is fantastic. Thanks for putting this up.

[pngaia]

Beautiful Male Voice, haunted wwith feel.

[lunafesto]

This is Scott in his prime!!

[flippowiggo]

Listen to the words.. a staggering song, 39 years on it still stands alone.

[paldengyatso]

Abbagliante

[earthangel50]

This is stunning. Such a beautiful voice. A classic I never tire of hearing. Thank you for posting it. xxx

[icepickmikey]

One of Scott's classics - over 40 years old, but still sounds fresh. Superb!

[jamierourketen]

big louis,little lulu!

[jamierourketen]

is he still recording?

[easthousepinballwiza]

yeah he is, some amazing stuff as well!

[rlburns666]

His latest,"The Drift" is epic !

[magone768105]

The song is from Scott's third solo album

[moorlock2003]

Nicely done! Interesting song selection.
