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

Shame * This post uses Scott Walkers as recorded words as well as Joan Baez's original "Sacco and Vanzetti part two" lyric to correct a number of commonly made mistakes. [1] "AND blessed are the ones who mourn" [2] "Send these the HOPELESS" [3] "AN ART that's lived for centuries" [4] "What's DARKENED all" ["darkened" is substitute word for "blackened" [5] "OF HISTORY" [not "Of the history"]
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
Lóve this song😊😊 he kñew so muçh one of his. Best you àre free ñow will not forget yóú x
Scott Engel Walker, the voice of an angel

He had a voice like a soft caress.

RIP ENNIO MORRICONE
This song is beautiful!
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
An exceptional human being...
A powerful song to wake up believers or so we call ourselves.
Beautiful man beautiful voice ❤️ RIP Scott 💔
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 😚
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.
Breathtaking...❤
Belle version de Scott Walker
If there is an afterlife can we please keep still hearing this wonderful voice, it is so magnificent. It is like angel songs
What a staggeringly underrated track from Scott. Wonderfully uplifting.
PHILIPS studios, Stanhope Place, London!
My favourite version. Great for playing loud to blast away the complacency in a Western household! Vinyl is best for this.
gossartig !
Scott is alive!
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
Very nice
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
I love this version of the song Joan Baez wrote for the classic Greek Film...
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.
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

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