[swamp1972]

best lyrics ever wow!

[theogore]

Perfect song. Most Xlnt video.

[wigmeistergeneral]

a total total total god

[bufb]

I am just here in the middle of the night looking for anything by Scott...I never heard

this one ...but it is great..

[Gerrydursey]

Liked it!

[dowling1981]

Gerrydursey - Do you enjoy Scotlan Walker?

[vinothelizard]

shit,,he wrote this on toilet roll!!!

[Deeperpurple1952]

Did he..it must have been Izal then, you couldn't write on Andrex...not that I've ever tried..

[tulsadrone]

Agreed about the lyrics, it's completely redundant as Scott's enunciation should leave nothing to the imagination.

[gijswahl]

I found the filming rather inspired. I can't believe the awfull onscreen lyrics were added by the same person... . Without those the visuals of most part of the clip would be stunning. Their abstract quality went together very well with the equally abstract heroism of us who don't really know a thing. I don't know what you should do with this information, but all I wanted to say I guess is that this idea has a lot of potential and really worth a remake.

"Scott 3".  Top album. Top singer.

[cowboyinsweden]

love the song, but you made mistake on the lyrics - 'when error dies encased' is supposed to be 'Guevera dies encased'

[sabrinaeden]

Lyrics taken from 'Boy Child' CD booklet - so thanks for pointing this out. Ties in nicely with 'Bolivia '95' (sung over El Che's corpse...)

[sabrinaeden]

The lyrics were taken from the Boy Child booklet. It is indeed "Guevera dies", but such modegreens abound. Erudite is a popular one!

[KungKokos]

@cowboyinsweden

a freudian slip of the fingers if ever i saw oone

[opie73]

I like it!

[clarkers14]

You miss the point entirely Sonsuka - the fact that the epic sweep of the song with its galloping baseline and heroic, pompous lyrics are illustrated with a video in a multi-storey carpark is the joke which seems to have passed you by. I thought it was très amusant - more of the same please. Maybe a supermarket trolley race to the tune of Mathilde?

[citizen2k1]

nice...a neat way to reflect on the song...

[Sonsuka]

this is horrible. I imagine the gotic monsters of notre dame...something epic, heroic...to make this shit you better make nothing.

[sonofbowie]

Brilliant! That was an awesome marriage of music and film (though the on-screen lyrics were unnecessary).

[sabrinaeden]

PS - If you want a 'scintillating view' check out the 'Look Chocolate' commercial - surely the consummate reduction to the existential essence of Scott Walker!

[sabrinaeden]

We were filming in the car park for another project whilst listening to the Boy Child compilation. The song started as we began the ascent & finished when we reached the top. This struck us as being somewhat serendipitous on various levels (?) so we proceeded to do exactly as TheCrippledSilence describes above, taking the lyrics from the booklet of the Boy Child CD, duplicating any typos contained therein.

[TheCrippledSilence]

I'm sorry. This is pretty horrible. You filmed a car park, tinted it, synched it with a wonderful Scott tune, and laid the lyrics (replete with typos) over the top. Sorry, not what I'd call a scintillating view.

[brunosis]

This is an absolutely fantastic song, from one of the greatest voices of all time - and the film suits it perfectly, well in!
