All I need say is, "Lovely!" Glen

[janchristinesears]

Love this so much !!

[netibiza]

I've always loved this song, no one else seems to have heard of it, thank Heavens for you tube!

[jamesconlon]

Totally agree with you but by becoming self indulged he is not getting the recognition and response from his fans and with a voice like his, it deserves to be heard because he is in the league, if not better than the likes of Tony Bennett, Sinatra and all the other old time crooners, .......................... definitely better!

[jamesconlon]

What can I say, these guys knew how to convey that feeling we all know, at some point in our life.............. priceless and real talent, shame Scott appears to have lost the plot because he was Mr Love in a song!

@jamesconlon

He´s just doing what he always wanted to do as everybody should

[leonoragomez100]

oh my most favorite song when i was a teener and i still love this even am now goldenwoman tnx

[Rainstar812]

One of my all time favorite songs. Just wonder why it didn't get as popular in America as other countries.

[npenciso]

I always liked The Walker Brothers.I like the way they sang this too. They are good singers too..

[PeterWTaylor]

Great Song - Probably the most underrated song the Walker Brothers made. Thanks for Posting.

@PeterWTaylor Thanks for the comment, Peter. I love it when people like the same pop records as me and say so!

@npenciso And the same goes for you too! Thanks.

the american equivilant at the same time was "the association" tight harmonies, orchestral pomposities, studio made, side man driven pay as you play soundtrack to the horror of viet nam.... play this one over the footage to mai lai and weep america, it signals the end in all its perfection-. string sections touting genocide.

[npenciso]

Amazing wonderful superb! it deserves such superlatives...

[7ov9]

The Walker Brothers just can't make a bad song - all their songs are very special. They too had a "wall of sound" similar to Phil Spectre. This one has such a sweet violin; a common and wonderful theme woven throughout each of their works. They really deserve to be rated with the very best artists of any era.

[stubbyguy]

@7ov9 i agree

[petluvr351]

I was 15 too! in LI, a cracy Beatlemaniac! I wished I paid more attention to these guys then - what voices!!! What happened to them?  I'm appreciating them now 40 some odd years later!

[jodamobsta]

i was 15 wow how time flies.Many Friendly Greetings from Canada.

[ModGirl1967]

This is reminiscent of something Brian Wilson would write, don't you think?

[CANARVONKID]

I agree about the Beach Boys doing this.

It would not have been out of place ontheir Smiley Smile Album!

[KISSMikePEZ]

Thats bcauze the 2 american walkers were the kids down the street or across town from the beach boys who taught the BB their craft... Scott and John, met with Gary later.

[stubbyguy]

@ModGirl1967 i totally agree

[aspen1980]

Beautiful song

[frightfan1]

Magical...

[giantroo]

wow! oldies! This is beautiful!!!! TY for posting this song.

[nancyneptune]

Never heard this one before. It's fantastic.

the violins are great, indeed.

[spacepatrolman]

This is the theme from the black and white film that had color posters of william holden running around in the jungle like the bridge on the river kwai.

[mortygwhiz]

I didn't see the film in a theater. I saw it a few years later on the only T.V. I had at the time, a black and white one. I was just watching it tonight on TCM and it is actually in color.

[spacepatrolman]

That may be a colorised version turner is into colorising movies a ua song book has black and white pictures of that guy with leeches on his body .

[gibson3524]

Such good memories of this song. It was the flipside to "Love her", one of the few singles I owned at the time, so I played it until it turned grey.............

[CaptainJimKirk]

Me too! My old Dansette record player with the disc-changer arm up, would play this continuously. For me, it was the strings that made this great - the boys sang well enough (although I think there were one or two "off-key" moments :) ) , but those violins were great!
