superb song
-
@AlT70 - It's about whatever you want it to be about - anything or nothing. Do songs have to be 'about' something?
-
This transports the old imagination. A chilling beautiful chorus. Wonderful.
-

SAINT JOHNNY FRANZ!

Listen to David Ackles' "American Gothic."
Now that's underrated and ignored...personified.
-
Unbelievably beautiful song
-
The music is inspired from Jacques Brel (french music, so). It's very "variété française" :)
-
What the bloody hell is this song about, anyways?

Scott Walker - Thanks For Chicago Mr. Jamesby guidofski18,985 views
It's really about more than just a balloon that escaped. Afterall, the child still holds the string. But Billy Balloon has his own agenda and convinces the boy not to pull him down. The song seems to be about both of them equally. "A string tied to his underwear" sounds vaguely sexual. It occurs to me that Billy and the child are the same person, but a younger self who clings to childhood and an older self who longs to know the world. The string is the tension between these two places.

Is that a compliment? Scott Walker is not only a pioneer in this sound, but an extraordinary survivalist in the scene. I have nothing but admiration for the man...today or in 1968.
