.Scott Walker, the God like genius according to Julian Cope...He hates to be in the spotlight, but I wonder what he thinks about people like me,who regard him as someone who I could not live without. Yes Scott is one of those singers that literally I can't live without listening to him at least once a day, or he is in every of my play lists.
He touches, he inspires, maybe he's not aware of this, or maybe he chooses to ignore it.
He touched me deeply, his songs are he words of someone who aches, and the world is something that is better to keep at bay or to avoid.
The world is there to live in, but at the same time is a place to loath, a place to dissapear in. He once, after having it all, after having the fame and the experiences that everybody only dream off, he decided to dissapear.
I use his songs to dissapear into...I loose myself in the universe of "Orpheus", or in the self deception of "Humphrey Plugg", or I dream of those "stain glass whispers"
Scott's imagery is like an art that is almost impossible to describe or put a label...I guess he hates labels...I hate them too. Lazy journalism like to label everything, sometimes just because they want to pretend they "understand"
There is nothing to understand with Scott Walker songs, you suppose to feel and loose yourself in his worlds...Scott songs fit in different circumstances of my life...right now this lines just say what I feel, and what I would like to say...
"You're on your own again
And you're your best again
That's what you tell yourself
I see it all the way as far as anyone can see
Except when it began I was so happy I didn't feel like me"...
This is me right now...
Scott is permanently telling me things that I wish I could say outloud, but the words don't come out, or I'm afraid to say them...
