Scott 4 and 3 are incredable. In 50 years time people will be arguing over ”The Drift” and ”Bish Bosch” like they do now over ”3” and ”4”. Visionary artist - I love his music so much - and he was a really cool guy who did’nt buy into the bullshit of celebrity. Scott lead the way. The Paul McCartney’s and Mick Jagger’s of this world will be forgetten - Scott won’t be.
@@elit7149 he was always stealing people more talented than him, session musicians, movements of music, and of course an actually good singer, seems like only thing he was good at it was being gay and a drug addict
I listen to this masterpiece everyday!!! One of my absolute favorite SW song ❤❤❤ The voice, the words, the bass, the arrangements, the drama, the feels.
This man is my favorite male vocalist of all time!!! His voice is beautiful and his songwriting was pure magic!!! Think of the depth of his brilliance...to write so many songs like this one!!! Avant garde never sounded so good!!! What a genius!!!!
Erik Perera the more I discover of Scott Engel the more I’m confused by this label that he’s been given of weird! He seems to me that because of his shyness people misunderstood him.
My bucket list is forever incomplete with his passing. Loved him from the first day I ever heard him sing in 1966. Thought I'd get to see him one more time. RIP Scott.
This is The Seventh Seal reimagined as a Spaghetti Western. I feel the spirit of Morricone in the bells, the Mariarchi guitar and trumpet and the choir. I love it.
Spot on mate. A masterpiece like all of scot walkers work. I wish there were more songwriters of this merit today but sadly no. Apart from Nick Cave and few others from the sixties.
Exists. He is still here, still the finest voice ever, still recording, still making life worth living. I found him in 1964 and have never let go. Can’t let go of perfection.
Christine I absolutely, totally agree ... loved him then and still love him and his perfect voice now. How can anyone not .... he is perfect at his musical talent and tastes
Followed him since I was a teenager and when I say followed I did just that to their hotel in Manchester back in the day. What a voice and when he recorded Boz Scaggs and more importantly Jacques Brel I was more than smitten again. We have lost amazing man, composer and vocalist RIP one of my musical heroes
My god, just listen to the production of the backing music. So big, so consuming, so audibly profound. It sounds like surround sound. And all this in 1969. Listen to how he plays with the stereo spectrum here. Nothing like Scott Walker. I miss him already. :(
you are absolutely true. the details so good made it on the sound is incredible, the whole album is a guide to something transcendental. he guide us and take us with his voice to this trip, is amazing
Some day in the not too distant future (hopefully) someone, somewhere will invent an audio device refined enough for the listener lucky enough to own one to audibly capture every granular detail of this majestic sound. Christmas 2020 and I’m still even more blown away by this masterpiece.
Absolutely love this. Scott Walker is, pure genius. As is, Max von Sydow. The world's darker without them in it, but their talent will shine like the stars. ⭐
i have loved scott's music all my life, this one being a favourite: oh how i pity those of you who have only recently discovered him, all those wasted years!
Going out on a limb here.. but aside from this being one of the greatest opening tunes on any album ever - on one of the greatest albums ever released by humankind - this is also.. kind of a mutant Northern Soul tune... its just dawned on me as i danced around the kitchen to it!!!
The only problem with this song is it's not loud enough! Heard it on vinyl once with a solid sound system. Did it so much justice, made me tear up. Love it!
Cowboy Scott. A sub genre of the wonderful genius human being Scott Walker. A pleasure to have shared the Earth with this man and his music. Miss you Scott.xxx
Without a doubt my favourite Scott song. None is equalled, his voice resonates like an avenging angel. Read ‘em and weep. Perfection, love you Scott, my dear poet friend. Watch Bergman’s “The Virgin Spring”, 1960, and “Wild Strawberries” 1957, same year as “”The Seventh Seal”, very powerful cinematography.
Hi, I'm kind of new to Scott Walker, I've know his name for at least 5 years, never really got into him till recently, something clicked after listening to this song. I bought scott 4 CD last week
i finally listened to mr. walker earlier this year after having him on my radar for a while, and WOW never have i fallen in love with a musician so quickly!!! this is easily one of my top 5 songs of all time
Such a fantastic song. Great vocal display as always from Scott and fantastic lyrics to fit with the film. This and The Old Man's Back Again make Scott 4 my favourite album of his
no one on this earth well at least to me has a voice like scott walker from our great days back in the 60's till now, oh god he can make you listen to his voice no matter where you are, outstanding
BBC2 used to show a foreign film on World Cinema on BBC 2 on Thursday nights back in the late 60's. This is where I first saw the Seventh Seal. The imagery, the concept, Max von Sydow's performance. Truly a lifetime memory. Fifty years later , stumble across this track by the brilliant Scott Walker. Wow. If you read this check out I Still See You by Scott on youtube. Another barely known classic.
This theme is really epic. It's difficult to say which are my fav Scott's songs but i feel something very special about this and "The old man's back again". Thanx for share such a very nice taste.
something is weird...this has instantly become my FAVORITE music, BY FAR, from this era, and I've been a musician and music enthusiast my whole life: HOW could I have possibly missed ANY mention of this guy and his music until RANDOMLY coming across it today...this is the best music I have eve heard from this time. It's incredible, even for today. WOW! Was someone in the music industry super jealous of this guy and suppressed him?! I am so confounded that with as INCREDIBLE as this guy was, I've never heard a single mention of him EVER!
Beautiful, thank you for this montage to accompany one of Scott’s most alluring, confounding and deeply sad songs (mirroring Bergman’s cinematic prose.) But as ever there is hope, god knows where from, but Scott dredges it up from somewhere in this sorry and poignant tale. The rain will wash away the tears from their faces And as the thunder cracked, they were gone
Stunning voice, production and lyric. Incredible. guidofski, Thank You for posting. [Verse 5] The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love To look against the stormy sky The knight his squire and friends, their hands held as one Solemnly danced toward the dawn His hourglass in his hand, his scythe by his side The master Death, he leads them on The rain will wash away the tears from their faces And as the thunder cracked, they were gone
Hi guidofski...oh yet another of Scott's dramatic triumphs. I see colours as he sings as I did when sensing auras within my public audiences when demonstrating clairvoyance... surely his own synesthesia must have served him well in his composing. Oh how he understood so much of the human condition...his soul now reviewing a lifetime of creative expliration and pain. Glorious.
Reads like a happy ending to me - "The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love To look against the stormy sky The knight his squire and friends, their hands held as one Solemnly danced toward the dawn"
If you follow this narrative, just as Scott tells it, and get to the point 'as the thunder cracked, they were gone' it is so moving. It really is one of the most convincing moments about life on this plane.
R.I.P Scott Walker. God knows your name. You never travelled meaningless smiles , rest until you will. Make your music for eternity, until time itself tilts your way.
There's a reason why many people consider _Scott 4_ to be a masterpiece. It's because it _is._
You're absolutely right it's my favourite album ever.
Scott 3 is just as good
Scott 4 and 3 are incredable. In 50 years time people will be arguing over ”The Drift” and ”Bish Bosch” like they do now over ”3” and ”4”. Visionary artist - I love his music so much - and he was a really cool guy who did’nt buy into the bullshit of celebrity. Scott lead the way. The Paul McCartney’s and Mick Jagger’s of this world will be forgetten - Scott won’t be.
The Avande Garde singer is gone. there will never be a voice like Scott Walker. His music will live on forever. RIP Scott
So right.
He was who David Bowie took his style from

My favourite song of all time. What a production
Agreed-production, arrangement, male choir-electrifying
Incredible song. The way it build is so powerful. Wonderful production.
The story clearly helps too. -Ingmar Bergman
R.I.P. Scott... thank you for the weirdness. Now come back like The Old Man...
Erik Perera the more I discover of Scott Engel the more I’m confused by this label that he’s been given of weird! He seems to me that because of his shyness people misunderstood him.
Frances Moore I meant musically weird... he definitely got more leftfield as he got older from sunny pop to doom metal...
He tells the story with perfection,The fabulous and talented Scott Engle
EngEL even!
My bucket list is forever incomplete with his passing.
Loved him from the first day I ever heard him sing in 1966.
Thought I'd get to see him one more time. RIP Scott.
He's making new music in the space between worlds.
Me too.
When did he pass?
This is The Seventh Seal reimagined as a Spaghetti Western. I feel the spirit of Morricone in the bells, the Mariarchi guitar and trumpet and the choir. I love it.
Spot on mate. A masterpiece like all of scot walkers work. I wish there were more songwriters of this merit today but sadly no. Apart from Nick Cave and few others from the sixties.
@@jeffreyshaw4037 Lee Hazlewood had his moments.
The rope and the colt. Scott's song for 'cemetery without crosses'...
ua-cam.com/video/cgDfDnIMfQI/v-deo.html
Exactly why I love this song. Makes me think of red crushed velvet and dark green shag....
Greatest singer, greatest songwriter, greatest producer, greatest arranger... Just outrageous talent.
Scott was just a very talented singer with any music he would want to sing
Exists. He is still here, still the finest voice ever, still recording, still making life worth living.
I found him in 1964 and have never let go. Can’t let go of perfection.
Christine I absolutely, totally agree ... loved him then and still love him and his perfect voice now. How can anyone not .... he is perfect at his musical talent and tastes
Well, at least he was for the time being. RIP Scott, no one will match your greatness.
ridiculously good. he's channelling some kind of musical perfection.
He is the greatest singer of all time
Well one of them.
Followed him since I was a teenager and when I say followed I did just that to their hotel in Manchester back in the day. What a voice and when he recorded Boz Scaggs and more importantly Jacques Brel I was more than smitten again. We have lost amazing man, composer and vocalist RIP one of my musical heroes
it's a moment of perfection, one of the most beautiful popular songs no one has ever heard of.
Ich schon. Ich kenne das Lied schon sehr lange.
I do. I've known the song for a very long time.
My god, just listen to the production of the backing music. So big, so consuming, so audibly profound. It sounds like surround sound. And all this in 1969. Listen to how he plays with the stereo spectrum here. Nothing like Scott Walker. I miss him already. :(

Scott Walker is just sheer perfection.
Nobody in my whole life ever told me about this? THE WORLD IS FIRED
The World is a fool.
Amen to that, I can report the truth of this
even my big brother, who's job it is. failed to tell me about Scott Walker.
This comment.
yeah!! I just discovered this guy..he is totally unhinged!
Scott 4 is my favourite Scott Walker album.
Absolutely love this. Scott Walker is, pure genius. As is, Max von Sydow. The world's darker without them in it, but their talent will shine like the stars. ⭐
What a voice he had!
Just giving thanks to who ever took the trouble to upload this song, along with the stills from the Bergman film. Outstanding!
Thank YOU for watching and for the kind words.
i have loved scott's music all my life, this one being a favourite: oh how i pity those of you who have only recently discovered him, all those wasted years!
I'm one of those who just discovered him in 2024. Truly wasted years
@@chewycenter7690 enjoy
Going out on a limb here.. but aside from this being one of the greatest opening tunes on any album ever - on one of the greatest albums ever released by humankind - this is also.. kind of a mutant Northern Soul tune... its just dawned on me as i danced around the kitchen to it!!!
Been listening to `Hurting each Other` and thought the same ... slowed down Northern :)
@@barrythornton9947 Absolutely!! What anoter great tune - if you pitched this up a wee bit could you drop it at a club lol? tune!
The best song from Scott 4. What a voice , what orchestration!
Used to think so too, but angels of ashes is taking first place now.
The more you listen the more you appreciate. Excellent song also.
Alex Zambra the whole album is remarkable
Max Von Sydow and Scott Walker, may you both rest in peace.
Amazing voice , it takes you deeply and gives you a peaceful feeling .
Can t stop listening this guy .
One of the finest songs from one of the finest singers ever
love this so much
The only problem with this song is it's not loud enough! Heard it on vinyl once with a solid sound system. Did it so much justice, made me tear up. Love it!
Yeah, on vinyl on a good system it is all the more atmospheric, what with that mellotron and all.
Che voce meravigliosa ❤️
this blew me away when i first heard it back when i was 20...timeless masterpiece
Thank you Skott Walker, have a nice trip, follow the path...
this should have 120000000000 likes its superb
such is life ..
mo chara.
Love Scott Walker and this song is perfect in every way.
Scott Walker is one of the greatest

Miss you Scott.xxx
Heard this on 6music earlier today. Why have I never heard it before??? RIP Scott
In the middle of any storm always sing one of his song heavy loud in the shower, and a rainbow sun instantly appears 🔥
His music scares away the dark
Without a doubt my favourite Scott song. None is equalled, his voice resonates like an avenging angel. Read ‘em and weep. Perfection, love you Scott, my dear poet friend.

RIP. Thanks for the music Scott.
He will be sorely missed. RIP Scott and heart felt thanks for all the great music you have left us with.
Hij is de beste zanger en songteksten schrijver ever .
Al zijn platen ook met zijn broers zijn fantastisch.
Jammer dat hij er niet meer is
Such a fantastic song. Great vocal display as always from Scott and fantastic lyrics to fit with the film. This and The Old Man's Back Again make Scott 4 my favourite album of his
The Master piece of Scott Walker's classics are great and heart warming even the other classic songs about Christianity and Heaven are all great!!!
What strange genius brought Scott Walker to this place? Now he is no more...but is always. Thank you!
Keep playing this Just Great.
First time I heard this song🎵...I replayed it ad infinitum...and then again one more time🎶
A truly magical music experience...
Ever been in a moment when the music hit like a ( insert any appropriate military metaphor) ... Scott Walker ♡ God bless us all amigos
Still haunting as hell after hearing it so many times.

Great song and great movie. Awesome!
I own everything recorded by Scott Walker (or rather whatever has been made available). My musical hero.
Sorry for your loss. What an amazing career.

incredibly underrated! what a gorgeous cinematic gem
Alcohol and headphones were invented for music like this.
Marijuana it's 2021!
I'm with that.
Spot on
Druggies with excuses i see ...
To each his own i guess
Beautiful, thank you for this montage to accompany one of Scott’s most alluring, confounding and deeply sad songs (mirroring Bergman’s cinematic prose.) But as ever there is hope, god knows where from, but Scott dredges it up from somewhere in this sorry and poignant tale.
The rain will wash away the tears from their faces
And as the thunder cracked, they were gone
A musical plot synopsis of the Ingmar Bergman Film from 1958. I love this song!
Genius
Love Scott Walker and this is 'one' of my favorites of his. Thanks for the post.
since i was 18 years old i saw this movie by Ingmar Bergman and was amazed! the music is bigger than life!
great film, great song
Stunning voice, production and lyric. Incredible. guidofski,
Thank You for posting.
[Verse 5]
The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love
To look against the stormy sky
The knight his squire and friends, their hands held as one
Solemnly danced toward the dawn
His hourglass in his hand, his scythe by his side
The master Death, he leads them on
The rain will wash away the tears from their faces
And as the thunder cracked, they were gone

Excellent.
what a voice it's like listening to vocal velvet
Thanks so much for this, one of the best songs Ive ever heard.
It has a '' In the year 2525'' feeling.
I thought this too!!
There is no one there!
Scott convinces us of this with his rendition.
Scott could give so much more if he wished.
Reads like a happy ending to me -
"The minstrel filled with visions sang to his love
To look against the stormy sky
The knight his squire and friends, their hands held as one
Solemnly danced toward the dawn"
My favourite Scott album - Scott 4.
Scott 4 the beginning into esoteric wonders. Vale Scott
If you follow this narrative, just as Scott tells it, and get to the point 'as the thunder cracked, they were gone' it is so moving. It really is one of the most convincing moments about life on this plane.
Qué buen tema, transciende el tiempo, increscendo final, Gran Realización musical !
R.I.P Scott Walker. God knows your name. You never travelled meaningless smiles , rest until you will. Make your music for eternity, until time itself tilts your way.
Great song & great clips from one of my favorite movies. Thanks for posting!
A masterpiece.Thank you Mr. Engels. ❤
What a beauty!
This is now a worldwide jam.
perfection as usual this is a masterpiece scott x
My favourite on Scott 4
For me this is the greatest track ever. I'm going to play it at my funeral (Funeral Tango!)
Dance til the dawn.RIH Scott thanks for your creativity dance til the dawn!
Farewell and godspeed, master of the sad Beauty. Beautiful sadness.
The 7th Seal was played on Blacklist Season 2. Incredible Scott, miss you so very much.
A wonderful album 10/10
Damn this is good! I can't believe I'm only now discovering him! I am humbled.
I bet this song didn't even come with a spoiler warning when it was released. Thanks a lot, Scott Walker.
I love this so much
Thank You Mr Walker.
