The sun is not shining, and they will appear never more, because the music can still sound so carefree and, thanks to string arrangements gloriously Shine. Because the “loneliness”, this hard-to-profound loneliness that the singer sings, the sheath that envelops the song. And, if you will, is the line “Loneliness is the cloak you wear”, with the help of the number 1 Hit “The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” the Walker Brothers lifting, also a possible bracket for the life and work of Scott Walker: His music and his biography, about which very little is known, tells of a man who wanted to be one day, not a teenage heartthrob anymore and, instead, opened the door, to bring Pop up on its borders, in the he made from all of the conventions.
“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” by the Walker Brothers.
“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore” was one of the commercial highlights from Scott Walker’s Band The Walker Brothers and, in a sense, the American answer to Beatlemania – with an orchestral Pop, the self-life tired, in big Gestures grabbed. Walker, who was born 1943 as Noel Scott Engel in the American Hamilton and first as a session musician and was not in line with his slightly awkward appearance on stage, the classic Boy-Ideal, especially since he his Songs with a baritone sang, which attracted romantic-dark and yet incredibly pathetic could sound voice.
With this vote, Walker had but soon once other than being a Star in the sense of: Between 1967 and 1969, he published four numbered solo albums on which his isolation from the Popbetrieb palpable and understandable. And, although there are still the Remnants of the symphonic Pop of the Walker Brothers and Jacques-Brel-Chansons, which he sings with Verve and the reasonable longing for death so inspiring that you exude today is still the power of the original versions. But if you listen to a musician with a vision who is looking for in his own Songs to new premises: The Arrangements are psychedelic by blowing, for example, in “Montague Terrace (in Blue)”, one of his biggest Songs. Or Scott Walker reduces everything to a guitar, if he adhere to the “30 Century Man” in a parable, song thumbnail invents.
“Montague Terrace (in Blue)”.
“30 Century Man”.
There are mainly these four first solo albums, on which so many artists have taken of David Bowie, has repeatedly pointed to Walker’s work, to Radiohead, or film Director Wes Anderson – and the broadcast to the present day.
Walker was a growing mystery. In the 70s he reformed once again, with his Band, tried it on his ‘ 80s Album “Climate of Hunter” with free-flying Synth-Pop, before he disappeared until the release of “Tilt” (1995) for eleven years from the Public.
“The Electrician”.
once Again, eleven years later, in 2006, was the sun in his music, entirely out: “The Drift” appeared in Scott Walker as the angel of death, told of Mussolini and the massacre of Srebrenica. And as a radical musician, a percussionist, an animal carcass punching, so that the Sound is also really physical and scary enough sound.
The Trailer for the Film “30 Century Man”.
The scene of this dramatic footage is in the documentary “30 Century Man”, an attempt to come to the Enigma of Scott Walker on the track. The Film of the Person and the artist but not necessarily as the next, when Walker speaks in one of his very rare Interviews about his music. But rather then, when pop musicians like Jarvis Cocker and Damon Albarn to listen to the former, masterfully arranged songs. They discovered together with the Prominent voice, which radiates with all the solitude, a tenderness that made his music so authentic.
Now Scott Walker is died to work the last publications in addition to Soundtrack an Album with the Metal Experimentalists Sunn O))), at the age of 76 years. (Editorial Tamedia)
