Walker, Scott - Big Louise Lyrics

The Master, unequaled by the giants he towers above.

Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP Scott 💔 Haunting and self penned one of his best 😢👏

so gut wrenching

In the Sinatra tradition, a man simply BORN to sing, in any age, any life, any planet.

E
She stands all alone
You can hear her hum softly
E7 A G#
From her fire escape in the sky
C#m Cmaj7
She fill's the bags
G Em
'neath her eyes with the moonbeams
C D E
And cries 'cos the world's passed her by
G A E
Didn't time sound sweet yesterday?
A Amaj7
In a world filled with friends
E
You lose your way

She's a haunted house
And her windows are broken
E7 A G#
And the sad young man's gone away
C#m Cmaj7
Her bathrobe's torn
G Em
And tears smudge her lipstick
C D E
And the neighbours just whisper all day
G A E
Didn't time sound sweet yesterday?
A Amaj7
In a world filled with friends
E
You lose your way

Absolute nº 1. Death can nothing against this.

The best, most complete song I've heard this year.

Didn't time sound sweet yesterday?

I came upon you late in life but so glad I found you before your passing. Rest In peace.

"The sad young man's gone away"

Even within the majestic catalogue of Mr Walker,this haunting masterpiece stands out. RIP Scott Walker.
An irreplacable voice has fallen silent.

This song is everything.
Rest in peace, Sir.

RIP scott engel walker, you touched me greatly... in a world filled with friends, you lose your way

His best vocal performance, in my opinion. Bowie may have had a more versatile voice and range, but they both possessed
the best baritone voices in popular music, as well as some of the best vibratos I've ever heard.
And now they're both gone. :(

One of my favourite songs ever.... Rip Mr Walker... ♥

My anthem. Rest in Peace.

WTF is it about eyelashes that make them so alluring ?

When i first time heard this song. I thought is Frank Sinatra voice sing it.. But when the radio DJ annouced the artist.. It turn out to be Scott Walker.. Very easy listening tracks.. 😊😗👍👍👍

Sounds nothing like Sinatra.

The sixties elevated music to heights that have never been duplicated , and won't be again....

Simply the most beautiful male voice of the era.

Close to Mat Munro

Yep. But from the era though in a different style, Steve Marriot of Small Faces had an amazing voice.

None do or can compare.

THE song of melancholic regret....

How could they do a Scott Walker Prom and NOT include Big Louise?.....one big missed opportunity.

what's a "prom"?

Godlike genius indeed.

I'd actually like to hear Radiohead cover this.

Why, so that they could ruin it?

I'm a huge fan of Radiohead, but Frederic is spot on here.

I think Muse would cover it better than Radiohead. Though I do like Radiohead, just not singing this song :P.

...leave it be, just leave it be gents.

I am surprised at what a great singer he was...I intended to have a laugh at this...stayed to enjoy his fine voice !

+MICHAEL HAMILTON BERRY thank the lord he is still with us and recording great avant garde music.

*is, he hasn't lost his voice. <3

Beautiful song, beautifully sung.

In a world filled with friends you lose you're way.

That's such a great line.

Hello...I don't think he considers himself as "underrated"..I don't think he would like be more popular than what he currently is

@pontello3 :-)!

groovy duude

Hey Throbber,

Thanks for your comment. =)

I agree with you, his voice is wonderful indeed! I really felt in love with his voice the first time I heard it.

The Drift is a big contrast compared with his older stuff and some songs on The Drift really scare the hell out of me, but I think it's an amazing album. He wrote the songs on The Drift inspired by his nightmares. Imagine what a hell his nightmares must be... :-)
