  • From Scott's Jacques Brel phase. The opening track on his 1967 debut album "Scott", "Mathilde" was composed by Brel and Gérard Jouannest. The wonderful, quite literal English translation is by Mort Shuman.

    Funny, I just heard this song for the first time tonight in the fourth episode of Outer Range and I only first heard of Scott Walker maybe a month ago while listening to psychedelicized radio.

    シャンソンを 歌うアングロサクソンと言われたスコット❤ 私はこの曲を 日本語にして 歌いました。 とても難しかったけど マチルダが戻って来る 男の乱れる気持ちと 最後には受け入れてしまう 切なさ💧 スコットと同じ様に歌いたかったけど 最後の音が 私には高すぎて 妥協しました❣️ スコット素敵💕🎶

    There is truly no other song which adequately conveys the full range of emotions that one feels, when someone comes back into your life, someone who you loved completely, someone who broke you. You have finally rebuilt yourself and then... they return. This is all that you feel.

    Sometimes I think to myself what a luck we had to live and grow up with such good music - the Beatles... and the Walker Bros. As if afterwards the music had lost something essential, something that never came up again, although there wer e beautiful songs coming along as well. Mathilde is a very good example - a superbe composition, combined with a unmatched singer -such an intense feeling is seldom to be found.
    Thanks for the upload

    don't you think these two were made for each other? the delivery of scott walker with the lyrical mastery of jacques brel conjour up such vivid images of places i've never been and sights i've never seen. this is simply brilliant stuff. I came across scott walker doing jacques brel before i came across jacques brel, but my emotional response to hearing scott walker singing brel and brel singing brel is essentially the same, even though they are different language. perhaps that just goes to highlight the genius of jacques brel. I'd put jacques brel on the same level as leonard cohen for sheer lyrical beauty, irrespective of the content of the song. leonard cohen made the sight of seeing your friends shot lyrically beautiful and jacques brel makes the sight of a filthy, stinking and toothless fisherman every bit as beautiful. Two geniuses who lived life to the extent it should be lead and passed that experience and knowledge on to the rest of us through their songs to experience second hand.

      We knew him better as Scott Engel when he was on the Eddie Fisher and Red Skelton Shows trying to make it as a teen idol, until he joined John Maus and Gary Leeds and they transplanted themselves in England as The Walker Brothers. A friend of mine was his manager while he was living in Texas. Scott was 13 or 14 at the time.

      @guida-walker-channel  2 роки тому +2

      Indeed they are... and Scott Walker has the definitive English versions of those songs as well, along with other less known Brel songs, since he was a great admirer of the Belgian singer. You can find them all on my channel, if you're interested. Thanks for stopping by!

    The original version can be still the best because Brel was a poete ! You can't compare both !! I don't say that this cover is not good, but just it's not the same kind of music, so you can't choose the best one !
