So sad to hear that Scott is no longer with us.
As one of the participants to his documentary 30th Century Man, Johnny Marr also has been influenced by his work.
Thank you very much for so many great tunes.
Very sad - RIP Scott & thank you.
Garfield was right about Mondays.
I loved his cover of:
His own work is too vast to list - a real one of a kind.
FWD.
Strangely, somehow I was expecting Moz to comment on this sad, sad inevitability.
Dunno why, but I always considered them brothers.
Rest well, great Scott.
Wasn't it a good year?
In my eyes he is one of the most influential and innovative musicians of all time.
I adore his crooning days in The Walker Brothers and his early solo days but its the experimental approach he took during Scott 4 and for the rest of his career afterwards that he truly pushed boundaries.
Scott Walker just followed his own path, the avant garde approach to his work just shows how brave he was to show his genius.
Really sad about Scott passin' because it always felt comfortin' to know that an artist like this was existin' and pushin' creative boundaries.
Saw the new Godard film The Image Book a few weeks back, which is partly about deconstructin' and reconstructin' the images in film and
there's a part where he threw a snippet of Scott's music into the mix and it just solidified the point. Just a quick snippet but it said volumes.
IT’S on days like these
When your brother falls
You can read it all in the Times
How a moving car
Stole a movie star
Little Things that keep us together
While the war's going on
It's on days like these
When your childhood cries
And you see it all on the news
Little children starve
Growing tired of born
Little things that keep us all close and warm
While the war's going on
Find a place you can hide
And take what you can
The time will arrive
When you need a friend
Stop looking at us
We're waving good-bye
It's on nights like these
That your neighbor dies
'Cause he put a gun to his head
He was so alone
He had nothing left
Little things that call for a drink
That bury a soldier's death
It's on days like these
When your sister cries
And your brother falls from your hands
Jumbo jets can die
Killing 81
Little things that help us get by the why
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war is going on
Why the war is going on
Why the war's going on
Why the war's going on
