- 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.
Yes me too but as I already said the original version is even better.
Same, I went and looked it up and here I am lol.
Was saying to my GF mhh sounds like Brel. I am a Belgian after all ;)
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💕🎶
what a great song.
Written by Jacques Brel.

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.
I can relate. It truly is a viscious cycle.
The Orchestration on this track is great, Scott's voice is as always Sublime R,I P💜✌️☘️👍
Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP Scott 💔 Tonight I’m gonna drink my tears😢
Wally Stott stunning arrangement
I love Walker's versions of the Brel songs!
...... the Orchestrations are awesome!
Agreed the music is like film scores...
I hope Mathilde comes back! I miss her!!! 😞
Still raising a jolt to an old listener
even through a low end cell phone speaker .
I love Scott singing Brel
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
Thank you so much for uploading all these great Scott Walker songs. He was 'head and shoulders' above any male singer of the 60's, and a great song interpreter. Wonderful to hear these great songs again!
Oh come on...Elvis, Sinatra, Tom Jones, Van Morrison, Andy Williams, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye, Wilson Pickett, Dean Martin, Johnny Cash, Tony Bennett, Sam Cooke, Smoky Robinson, John Fogerty, Jackie Wilson, Paul Simon, Art Garfunkel, Eric Burdon, Bobby Hatfield, Gene Pitney, Robert Plant, Joe Cocker, Roy Orbison, Burton Cummings, Johnny Mathis et al, were in a different stratosphere
Love it this song and Jackie what a voice he had so sexy and operatic,Rest in peace Scott you may be gone but your not forgotten,God bless you amen👏✌👍💖😘
@@clinroatan Thank you for an appropriate response, to a foolish comment.
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.
Holy shit. This is fantastic.
Ain't it fucking just !!
Only one who can Brels songs great
Outer Range brought me here! 😉
So over-the-top dramatic. I love it.
WOW THAT VOICE 👍😘 SCOTT'S VOICE WAS SO STRONG,HIS SONGS THEN WERE GREAT, BUT IN LATER YEARS HIS MUSIC BECAME STRANGE, BUT HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN, 😘👍✌🐦🌹🌸💜🌈
It's a shame that so few Americans know anything at all about this American singer who had to go to England to make it big somewhere.
Im friends with the son of the Drummer from the Walker brothers. Literally got no royalties whatsoever.
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.
Literally every american band had to do that in the 60s and 70s.

superb...he always did a fantastic job with his jacques brel covers.
I heard this tune for the 1st time on the BBC Radio broadcast from England hooked up to my desk top computer and I phone and BOSE SPEAKER in great reception here in the upper Midwest in the U.S.A. about a month ago.
Outer Ranch, m'a fait connaître cette très bonne version de Mathilde de Jacques Brel, thank you for the great moment.
GENIUS
Anyone wondering how much he meant to the British music heroes we know and love, go find the clip of him calling a radio station to wish happy birthday to a losing-his-shit David Bowie.
Still love it.
wally stott amazing arrangement
Great cover and great translation.
Thank you guidofski. Bizarre my dad has the same art in his front room as your banner, the ‘bar’ lol. Mathilde, sheer poetry. Scot is one of my favourite artists, subbed. Bless him and bless you for supporting a truly great artist. All my love Dan x
RIP guvnor
a legend has left us
My name is Mathilde
Good stuff! I like this.
quite amazing good translation of the french version. But Mort Shuman was an excellent lyric maker!
On first hearing, I thought it was Marc Almond. Love this!
And no wonder... Almond, like Bowie, was one of Walker's biggest fans and has admitted on several occasions to have been highly influenced by his singing style. Thank you for your interest!
epic!!
Ironically I first heard this song on Outer Range on the day my ex contacted me for the first time in 18 months 😱
I did not know that there was an English version of mathilde came back from the singer jaque brel who is the greatest of his time and he wrote others who are even more beautiful like Amsterdam or do not leave me and others among the most beautiful french song.
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!
Big in mod circles , especially in Ireland . Revered!
wow, there's a scott walker channel out here on youtube? oh, i'm soo subbing you :) thanks for uploading man
Thank you!
Best.
superbe chanson
Outer range brought me here
Gracias FG. I believe I will recover.
Hmm- I wonder if Carly Simon had heard this song before she wrote "Jessie" ? Lyrically, they are quite similar.
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 !
this shit is super insane.
I love it.
MATHILDE EST REVENUE !
Outer range brought many here
Yep, came here from Outer Range. (I musta fell in da hole)
I think Mathilde might have come back to me and I don’t know what to do fellas/ladies
@JHANNAH6 when you caught my tears?
Brass some say, well, Brel has not the thrust this Mathilda has. Crass and brass and thumping to the sublime
Les rosbiffs qui chantent Brel,et elle est où la poésie?
ils essayent au moins
What's the objective, sir?
Hehe Outer Range😉
I think towards the end of the song, Scott is struggling to compete with the band. The band is too loud.

Walker's version is much better than Brel's
come on you idiot! stfu this comment is the most stupid i EVER read on the web LOL
Cette version en anglais est inaudible je trouve, aucune poésie, aucune émotion.
