Scott Walker - It's Raining Today

[fro333]

this song sums up the young scott's world view to perfection, and in unison through the great mystery of art our own reflection and interpretation of his work and emotive imagining of human existential despair. whats the weather like scott? its raining of course. What are you doing? staring out a window...of course. Whats on your mind scott? a girl...that empty meloncholic space in my heart...and my lonely observations of a world slowly passing by.

I bet the BBC have this lot somewhere - they just need to really search - so much has been found that was 'lost' - we need to get these 'found' - are they so stupid - I want to buy them - all of us Scott followers want them - there is an album, I have it , bought it way back when, you telling me they destroyed the pics - somewhere lost when someone was too high to catalogue correctly!!!!!

[Artemisiainspain]

I went to a recording of his show for the BBC it was just simply amazing and he signed a portrait an artist friend of mine had done. I lost it!!!!

[eastjinks]

Thank you so much for this. Scott has been the soundtrack to my life since I discovered him in my late teens. This was just what I needed at this moment.

[Artemisiainspain]

@eastjinks mine too!!

[lenahjonsson]

Oh, there is NOTHING like forgetfulness, is there? A gift from God!

[MrLazymagnet]

devastating 

[sonofagunder]

what a fucking hipster. dope song.

[23071957jazzman]

@sonofagunder Go and suck your boyfriend's dick you moron!

[ppcapovilla]

Simply one of the absolute greatest singers in recorded history.

I do agree.

[HClose77]

It's too bad that such a great American songwriter is rendered into such obscurity (here in the US) that his name is to be overshadowed by some union-busting asshole politician. May the former outlive the latter. (Sorry bringing politics into a conversation about music, I just found that interesting)

[Discordiaist]

Those eerie dissonant strings are pure Scott.

[Aftergraphics]

Thumbs up if you watched this incredible band via Luke's tweet

[bumblebert]

Fantastic! proves what i always suspected...that Scott's voice was as good live as on record.

[CANARVONKID]

This guy could paint a beautiful musical and poetic canvas!

One of the great vocalists of our time!

So thankful he put out a lot of material!

Thanks for all your postings.

Would love some photos of him if possible.

Please send to admindavis@bigpond.com

Thanks for all your wonderful postings!

[veadlsteak]

That's funny ascent I have said those same words many times,

in fact I thank God he made Scott for that beautiful voice. God did it.

[ascent7]

listening to scott walker makes me believe God gifted him that voice

[GreenLightTraffic]

a breath of heaven

[ebaylistentomusic]

This is wonderful. It shows how real his magnificent voice is and not a studio product. Simply one of the absolute greatest singers in recorded history.

[lailove59]

thank you again for sharing with us your wonderful music tracks. Headed to the beach with the dogs this morning and brought scott's music with me, the space was to infinity. Thanks for existing Scott.

[borddakter]

utterly mindblowing, I'd give it eleven stars out of a possible five.

[ween6600]

timeless

[BlackmoonUK]

I love Ulrich Schnauss's interpretation of this song. Give it a listen.

[JonasVillumsen1]

Wow, how did you get hold of this? Simply amazing.

[bogart999]

WOW!

[8733hans]

Reminds me of love on rainy days in dark little rooms and late afternoons

[randomviewer2007]

Thanks so much for posting!

[Cletonico]

if it's from a tv show, would it be possible to share de video??, please!!!

i've only found jackie and matilde, i'd like to see more live performances specially from this age

[guidofski]

I wish I could, Cletonico! Unfortunately, as far as we know, the BBC destroyed all episodes from this TV series, so unless someone has managed to hide a copy somewhere, it is virtually impossible to see it... I still find it amazing the audio has survived!

[Cletonico]

damn them!

how could they do that?!!!?

why to destroy them, there's no logical reason

i'll hope someone, of the bbc had a good shape thinker brian and thought it could be a very good thing to made acopy of them, keep them in good shape, andupload or post them on any place. i'll pray

[YCSMusic]

Another gem that I've not heard before, we class Scott as a brit these days, he's lived here for so long.

5****

[guidofski]

And I'm sure he loves it. ;)

Thanks, Steve!

[stillovescott]

He did actually become a British citizen..can't remember what year it was though!

[stillovescott]

I wish I had a pound for every time I listened to this as a teenager! I'd be very rich. Thanks for another gem!

[guidofski]

I am so jealous that you were the right age at the right time and in the right country to boot! ;)

[sharpsuitedmod]

like the jazzy drums on this version and the talk gives the context of this fantastic song which is really great

[guidofski]

Oh yeah, that little "explanatory note" is just peerless!

[vespa202]

even when he talking he sounds wonderful,Fantastic song,Fantastic voice :))
