Song for the film Sacco e Vanzetti. On the soundtrack Joan Baez, at the time the queen of folk, sings it and splendidly. Her arranger is better than the one here, but hey, Ennio Morricone. I didn't know that Scott recorded it too, it's a very welcome version, I'm sick and tired of Amii Stewart 😁
Father - yes, I am a prisoner Fear not, to relate my crime The crime is loving the forsaken Only silence is shame Blessed are the persecuted And blessed are the pure in heart Blessed are the merciful Blessed are the ones who mourn Give to me your tired and your poor Your huddled masses, yearning to be free The wretched refuge of your teeming shore Send these, the hopeless Send this task to me And now I'll tell you What's against us A naught that's lived for centuries Go through the years And you will find What's blackened all Of the history Father, yes I am a prisoner Only silence is shame
best track from the moviegoer album by far for me. few other good / ok tracks on there but this is the stand out track for me. would have fitted in well on scott 4 i think
This is a song from the lowest part of his career, and although I like this particular song, it was not written by Scott himself. He gave that up for multiple years after Scott 4 flopped. If you want to check out music that the young Scott Walker wrote, however, I'd recommend you to check out the albums Scott 3 and Scott 4, which are great. The more "out there" stuff started with the first 4 tracks of Nite Flights (from the Walker Brothers) and subsequent solo albums: Climate of Hunter, Tilt etc

This man is so underrated that it's a crime. His dictation is superb.
Scott Engel Walker, the voice of an angel
Was this Scott’s own take on the Baez/Morricone as it’s somewhat different and absolutely gorgeous!
If this guy sang a menu it would be brilliant, astounding beyond words 😂😂😮
magnifica
I have not heard this one before but I love it it is beautiful

jeez, he is amazing.
Miss you Scott 💕
He had a voice like a soft caress.
Father - yes, I am a prisoner
Fear not, to relate my crime
The crime is loving the forsaken
Only silence is shame
Blessed are the persecuted
And blessed are the pure in heart
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed are the ones who mourn
Give to me your tired and your poor
Your huddled masses, yearning to be free
The wretched refuge of your teeming shore
Send these, the hopeless
Send this task to me
And now I'll tell you
What's against us
A naught that's lived for centuries
Go through the years
And you will find
What's blackened all
Of the history
Father, yes I am a prisoner
Only silence is shame
I never knew that there was a song about Sacco & Vanzetti. Very powerful.
Joan Baez did the original with Ennio Morricone for the Italian film about them
thank you@@lofirecordclub
Uma das muitas trilhas maravilhosas de Ennio Morricone.
スコットの成熟した歌声です。 内省的で 胸に刺さります。 なんて素敵な声❣️
Am súre yóu meant all 😁 somé of the,songs he sung were so deep àñd meant ßo much 😚
If there is an afterlife can we please keep still hearing this wonderful voice, it is so magnificent. It is like angel songs
Amen to that!
Lóve this song😊😊 he kñew so muçh one of his. Best you àre free ñow will not forget yóú x
What a staggeringly underrated track from Scott. Wonderfully uplifting.
I like this better than the Joan Baez version, although that is great too
An exceptional human being...
Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP Scott 💔
This song is beautiful!
Belle version de Scott Walker
A powerful song to wake up believers or so we call ourselves.
My favourite version. Great for playing loud to blast away the complacency in a Western household! Vinyl is best for this.
RIP ENNIO MORRICONE
Breathtaking...❤
best track from the moviegoer album by far for me. few other good / ok tracks on there but this is the stand out track for me. would have fitted in well on scott 4 i think
Any of the numbers but especially 3 + 4
Scott is alive!
gossartig !
Very nice
偉大なscott walker の訃報に際し心よりお悔やみを申し上げます。From Japan
R.I.P
In which LP is this?
PHILIPS studios, Stanhope Place, London!
Being in WI and contemplating the Scott Walker we know here singing this is just weird...
We need one Scott Walker in this world, and I know it's the one who sang about clandestine CIA torture and the destruction of the environment.
I love this version of the song Joan Baez wrote for the classic Greek Film...

I listen to a lot of music, and '5 Classic Albums' is one of the best things I've ever bought. I found his old stuff through his new stuff.
The Ballad of Sacco and Vanzetti
[Baez/Walker/Morricone]
Father - yes, I am a prisoner
Fear not, to relate my crime
The crime is loving the forsaken
Only silence is shame
Blessed are the persecuted
And blessed are the pure in heart
Blessed are the merciful
And blessed are the ones who mourn [1]
Give to me your tired and your poor
Your huddled masses, yearning to be free
The wretched refuge of your teeming shore
Send these, the hopeless [2]
Send this task to me
And now I'll tell you
What's against us
An art that's lived for centuries [3]
Go through the years
And you will find
What's darkened all [4]
Of history [5]
Father,
Yes I am a prisoner
Only silence is...
Shame

@pontello3 Moviegoer is teh LP, not considered one of his best but this song is pretty good
odd dissonances in this song
Dedicated to Texas gov. Gregg Abbott aka Gov. Evil
Sacco and Vanzetti were guilty. Scott was a great singer but they were murdererers
