Just picked up The Walker Brothers box set, "Everything Under The Sun" & found this track. Have listened to it over and over. The vocal is astonishing (as is often the case when SW steps up to sing), the lyrics, beautifully romantic - a practically perfect song. Not sure if SW, when he wrote the lyric, may have been inspired by Auden's "Funeral Blues," "...The stars are not wanted now, put out every one; Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun." Either way, one of the best WB songs, ever.
I usually visit this site about once a week just to get my Walker Bros fix. Scott Walker to me as the greatest voice I've ever heard & the looks OMG! I used to sit there & drool over him. I remember clearly when they split up I was heartbroken. Thankfully later on I did see him in a solo concert at what was then Fagins in Manchester. It was a small cosy venue with only a small number of people there. It was an awesome concert & I still have the programme, it was January 9th 1973!
OMG! I love this song! I have to say I have been an avid Walkers fan since the early 60s when I saw them on Top of the Pops but I have to say I can't recall hearing this song before.His voice is just as beautiful as ever & the harmonies with John are great. I saw them play 3 or 4 times with such acts as Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens & Roy Orbison but it was only ever about the Walkers for me. Thanks guidofski for putting this site together its just so brilliant to hear that wonderful voice again.
Hubby always comes and has a lovely slow dance with me when I play this...takes me back years! absolutely wonderful...no-one has and never will have a voice like his..it's a one off.
Wonderful song, should have been a massive hit. Great images too, as always, I wonder where you keep finding them. You must have the greatest Scott-o-theque in the universe by now...
wonderful...you are so right guidofski, I'e been telling anyone who will listen that this song is up there with the very best of Scott Walker's output. Thanks for posting this.

"30 Century Man" - a documentary on DVD of Scott's music through today. He is still recording although his music has changed greatly.
