Stan Ridgway on September Songs

[IamLukeSilz92]

i love the fade-out of Kurt Weill's face in the first few moments of the video, yes apparently stan did this music video on the fly, he told me he was on tour and flew into Vancouver for the shoot -- one take and they were out of there. pretty damn good if you ask me....

awesome vid, cheers!

Next to P.J. Harveys ballad of the soldiers wife this always was my favorite part of the film.

[MsSarjen]

@MsSarjen agreed. I also like the Teresa Stratas bits.

I love this song. I bought the soundtrack for September Songs, and this wasn't on it. Alas! Thanks for posting this.

[skullyj2002]

This is on an album called "Lost in the stars: the music of Kurt Weill"

It's a LOT like "September songs" but has some different singers and songs.

It's also on Stan Ridgway's 1992 greatest hits album "Songs That Made This Country Great".

Thanks for posting this, but the best part of the video is missing! The very end, when Stan marches off the stage.

This song is featured in the Woody Allen motion picture Shadows and Fog, opening credits.

This song is a perfect match for Stan Ridgway...as is the visual presentation. Thanks for uploading this excellent clip.

It's from the film "September songs".The song is the "Cannon Song" ("Kanonenlied"), from Bertholt Brecht's "Threepenny Opera" ("Dreigroschenoper"). Kurt Weill was the music composer. The most characteristic (and the genuine) vocals for Weill's music were sang by Lotte Lenya, his wife. You can find videos of her in YouTube.

I know what the Threepenny Opera is; I just wanted to know about this especific film. Thanks

[porkinwitz]

[Dystopiaman]
