I hated it the first time i heard it, after the third i grew to tolerate it. Now I think it's the greatest honour to Scott. It introduced to me to her own works. Absolute unique voice. a true chanteuse! Thank you, Susanne.
This was my introduction to Susanne. She and John stole the show (or, slightly more churlishly, saved the show) on the evening in question. I couldn't imagine a version to surpass the original before hearing this and it quite took my breath away. I'm just so grateful that so much of her own music has the same.
Hear Hear!! This Tune is incredible hard to sing.. Its a Technical daring song. Its no wonder that so few Artist have dared to give it a shot.. all the more credit to Susanne!
So happy to hear he attended this evening. It meant he gave his early life one more „ Listen“ That he never permitted his later albums. Gosh, surviving success and what comes afterward. He remained true to his purpose, to bring life a voice of gold and instrumental backgrounds that cushion or propel……..
I keep coming back to this, it's so good it almost hurts. Great arrangement, great playing from the orchestra and THAT performance from Susanne. Absolutely sublime.
It's so hard to cover some artists like Scott Walker, because of his unique talent. Susanne did it with ease and respect and courage. It's like Lisa Hannigan covering Nick Drake or Jennie Abrahamson performing Kate Bush songs. You know the love and admiration is there, and an appreciation of how bad it will be if they fail. I personally think it's amazing!
@Garrett Fitzgerald that's a little harsh and not actually true. Whilst Suzanne was clearly the owner of the best singing voice of the evening and was far more suited to this type of performance it isn't really fair to say that Jarvis Richard and John have no musical ability whatsoever just because this type of thing is quite different from what they normally do. Its a bit like saying that Mozart has no musical ability because his DJ set in Ibiza was piss-poor compared to Fatboy Slim's
a great voice does not always make a great singer but this gal has it all. a fabulous stylist who has a tone that pulls you in and embraces you. just listened to her sing Undercover and i was in tears
What an insane performance! Good on the Orcestra and omg that singer..👌🤘🥳 Scott's lyrics and composing is very complex and hard to get right, But damn girl!!!
I found her after watching Oblivion (theme tune) - th-cam.com/video/05GPiKPylHY/w-d-xo.html Then heard her promoting 10 Love Songs on Dermot O'Leary R2. Fell in love with her voice, so when she sang at Green Man Festival, I had to go. I wasn't disappointed. She has a natural tone, an imperfect realism that is utterly compelling.
Sundfor has been my happiest music discovery in the past year ! She is simply faultless and holds a beautiful fragility and emotion in her voice. Stunning performance that she owns at one with the orchestra. AMAZING !
Make sure you get all of her albums, they're incredible, I personally prefer her debut album (actually listening to it as I type this) but they're all brilliant.
@@shaunpierce4174 Now you're talking! Roykskopp, Depeche Mode. Roykskopp and their collaborations are in my top ten groups in the past decade. Their works with Robyn have been my favourite. What else is there with Karin Dreijer Andersson is brilliant. Thanks for the tip on the Depeche Mode cover. I've listened to both your suggestions - brilliant. Thanks. I'd love to see a Sundfor/Flowers/Roykskopp collaboration ....
Scott Walker is one of my greatest musical loves. I never thought someone could make his music better. You have absolutely put the man to shame. i think hed live this!
What a talent! And a great reminder of Scott's talent also - so nice to have such a tribute while the artist is still living, should happen more often for living legends - don't wait til they die.
Epic! This song is what made me go and buy tickets to her concert in Glasgow in October. She is such a gifted singer, power and pathos with skyscraper high notes - when she so chooses: what a talent.
When she turns on the power, it's spine-tingling. Reminds me of Abba at their best - probably because she has a Scandinavian lilt to her voice and it's got that big chorus that goes on and on.
A great version and kudos to the orchestra and arranger for doing justice to the original. They probably should have had Susanne and John Grant do all the songs. Richard Hawley did a nice guitar solo on Get Behind Me...
This music is normally not my cup of chaga tea, but...damn this is good. What a singer! Credit to the song and orchestral arrangement also. Grandios! When she hits the chorus...
be very careful, this wonderful lady's version of this killer tune is more addictive than crack cocaine :-) Listen once and you'll be listening all day.
This video had 666 likes ... we cannot have that on someone so beautiful!! I have all of her albums, but I liked the video to get it off that negative number LOL
Oh Susanne. What a performance. You nailed it girl. I bet Scott loved your interpretation of his song more than his own. Scandinavians do it best (I am of Danish decent) love your work. Xxxx
Susanne is amazing, especially live. Check out these songs from her: - The Silicone Veil (Live Skavlan 2012) - White Foxes - Röyksopp & Susanne Sundfør - Ice Machine (Depeche Mode cover) Live on Lydverket - M83 & Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion - The Amorous Humphrey Plugg (live on BBC proms) - The Brothel (studio version or Liva At Parkteatret) - Undercover (live) - Mountaineers (featuring John Grant) - Röyksopp & Susanne Sundfør - Never Ever - The Sound of War (Live at Spellemann)
Do you have any of the other performances from this concert? I thought John Grant was also a highlight but can't find his contributions anywhere on YT.
Scott's version isn't as good. I am saying this as an absolutely massive Scott Walker fan. This song was by far the highlight of that magical prom. While every song that night was performed beautifully, this is the only one that was better than the original IMO. I think the lyrics sound more powerful coming from a woman, so it was a stroke of genius to allocate this song to Susanne.
Nowhere. But it's possible to download this video as a sound file on your laptop, then transfer it to a normal phone. That may not include Apples proprietary pieces of xxxx. But I've done it to android phones.
Connelly's version is poor IMHO. This is an order of magnitude better. Not just because of orchestration, but maturity of artist and technical ability but expression and involvement. This passes the goosebump test.
Have formed a serious addiction to this clip.
I hated it the first time i heard it, after the third i grew to tolerate it. Now I think it's the greatest honour to Scott. It introduced to me to her own works. Absolute unique voice. a true chanteuse! Thank you, Susanne.
Scott died today, he was at this show. Both he and his wonderful music is very much loved by many. The lights are starting to go out. A very sad day.
This was my introduction to Susanne. She and John stole the show (or, slightly more churlishly, saved the show) on the evening in question. I couldn't imagine a version to surpass the original before hearing this and it quite took my breath away. I'm just so grateful that so much of her own music has the same.
I must have watched this about 50 times and I honestly think this is one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Sublime.
Hear Hear!! This Tune is incredible hard to sing.. Its a Technical daring song. Its no wonder that so few Artist have dared to give it a shot.. all the more credit to Susanne!
I am in complete agreement with you!
I agree.
same
She nailed it
she is an artist
Brilliant version of a Scott Walker classic, possibly my favourite Scott Walker.
Her performance has made me realize that this song is a masterpiece.
This is utterly gorgeous. I'd love to hear Susanne do a James Bond theme some day.
Scott Engel Walker has not yet been recognized for the genius that he was.
I recognise it! He's probably my favourite musician
SUSANNE TE AMOOO ❤
I really think Scott Walker, would completely adore this
He was in the audience, I'm sure he loved it.
Simply outstanding singer stunning.
So happy to hear he attended this evening. It meant he gave his early life one more „ Listen“ That he never permitted his later albums. Gosh, surviving success and what comes afterward.

I always get emotional when l hear this by Scott, but this is INCREDIBLE!!! As we say in Teesside...kin BEAUTIE
She was the only one in the entire evening to listen to the orchestra and sing along with it. All the others geezers just listen to themselves !
Emmanuel Viaud she's EXTREMELY talented... have a look at her other stuff ... I think she trained as an opera singer in her younger days

@@sharonbrewer2183 😂😂😂😂
I keep coming back to this. Such a rich voice. Susanne's own music showcases more of her talent. Fabulous.
Those hairs on the back of your neck just tingle when she reaches the climax of the song, amazing!
a great voice does not always make a great singer but this gal has it all. a fabulous stylist who has a tone that pulls you in and embraces you. just listened to her sing Undercover and i was in tears
I've been a big fan of Susanne Sundfør for years, but for some reason i've never heard this song before now :o So good :)
Some people are just born with incredible talent..............she is one of those people. Absolutely beautiful person with superior vocal talent.
What an insane performance! Good on the Orcestra and omg that singer..👌🤘🥳
Scott's lyrics and composing is very complex and hard to get right, But damn girl!!!
Must have played this over 20 times since Friday. The most mesmerizing vocal I have ever heard. Stunning.
I cannot stop playing this. I am considering seeking professional help.
It must be a kind of great art. I keep returning to this soullifting place on the internet.
She totally nailed this great song of Scott's - I will be checking out her records. Wonderful
Edward mulholland you have a lot of treats in store for you! Her work is so diverse and enchanting
I found her after watching Oblivion (theme tune) - th-cam.com/video/05GPiKPylHY/w-d-xo.html

Enthralling - both Susanne's performance and the song.
I love Susanne's voice; she is so talented.
Excellent attention to details! You have Scott's original arrangement, with your freewheeling vocal. Thanks, sister!
She's a goddess.
@@kildogery She is. I discovered her quite late, what a gem. Check out "Reincarnation", for instance..
What an amazing song! I love it.
Pure Magic. Great Strings - well and Susanne Sundfor.
beautiful
I’m completely in love with this version of this song.
Nice to see this group of people paying tribute to The Great Scott Walker. Like many of his songs, it is underrated.
Simply Beautiful in every way ❤️
i watched this live and she was brill

@@shaunpierce4174 Thankyou, I will. She has magic not heard to often and her interpretations are second to none.
@@cdiggins3824 if you haven't seen it,check out her collaboration with Royksopp and their cover of Ice Machine by Depeche Mode

Susanne also have co-worked with many other Artists. Sheck out Tobaco Road with Merkury Rev!
Magical
Uma interpretação fenomenal de Susanne Sundfor!
Scott Walker is one of my greatest musical loves. I never thought someone could make his music better. You have absolutely put the man to shame. i think hed live this!
Susanne can do anything. This is so brilliant, I can't stop listening to it.
simply divine!

Try to stand in the front rows. It is so worth it. I saw her in Cologne and am still in awe. She is very skilled.
1000sachenmuell I saw her last night and she was incredible. I stood in the front and got the full experience. She's a wondeeful singer.
She's so versatile a performer - great stuff! 👍
When she turns on the power, it's spine-tingling. Reminds me of Abba at their best - probably because she has a Scandinavian lilt to her voice and it's got that big chorus that goes on and on.
sundfor and proms. love it
A great version and kudos to the orchestra and arranger for doing justice to the original. They probably should have had Susanne and John Grant do all the songs. Richard Hawley did a nice guitar solo on Get Behind Me...
Thanks for putting this up, so beautiful! I'm obsessed with her now...
Preenanana ditto!
This was an amazing concert!! Yep, so nice to hear this sung from the female perspective....
Susanne Sundför is an unbelievable artist. Check out her live concert
Susanne for next Bond theme.........just sayin
Chris Tann makes total sense
That would never happen due to the politics of today’s music industry but fuck she would be perfect for It
Sadly she's not mainstream enough
This sounds like a song from a 1970s James Bond film.
I wish
This music is normally not my cup of chaga tea, but...damn this is good. What a singer! Credit to the song and orchestral arrangement also. Grandios! When she hits the chorus...
Love this song. Its such a good version and the female perspective gives the song a different spin.
?? The Scott Walker version is from 'the female perspective'.
@@SM-dt1prnow don't be a prat. Which other artist, let alone female artist have covered this song..
Been a big fan of hers for several years. What a voice and great musical talent. jeff from ny
In a mesmerising concert, this was the highlight. What a voice.
Beautiful song and music.....magnificently sung.
Lovely! Exclusive by Susanne!
0:42 The way strings enter here , this whole ensemble is insane
Wonderfull , thank you so much Susanne . You have kept this music alive.
Stunning performance from both Susanne and the Orchestra 👍
Totally addictive voice! Beautiful!!
Magnificent !!!!! ..... there's only on thing missing ..... 😥💕
Absolutely Spellbinding,CLASS !!
Quel belle voix madame Suzanne chapeau bas🇨🇵👏👏👏👏😘🌹
Beautiful - thank you so much

Прекрасная женщина и голос .манера фантастика
thanks uploader
Okay let's get this Monday morning started off right
There's an article in the Telegraph today about her
www.telegraph.co.uk/music/artists/susanne-sundfor-sang-way-abyss/
Lovely voice
This video had 666 likes ... we cannot have that on someone so beautiful!! I have all of her albums, but I liked the video to get it off that negative number LOL
Just under 70,000 views. That's either criminal or hilarious (or maybe both)...
Mäktig låt!
In her voice are many mansions ..
Tão linda!
Oh Susanne. What a performance. You nailed it girl. I bet Scott loved your interpretation of his song more than his own. Scandinavians do it best (I am of Danish decent) love your work. Xxxx
Can we have this on CD? Please?
Never have heard of this singer before now. Wonderful talent. Wonder why Dusty Springfield or Petula Clark never recorded this song?
Susanne is amazing, especially live. Check out these songs from her:
- The Silicone Veil (Live Skavlan 2012)
- White Foxes
- Röyksopp & Susanne Sundfør - Ice Machine (Depeche Mode cover) Live on Lydverket
- M83 & Susanne Sundfør - Oblivion
- The Amorous Humphrey Plugg (live on BBC proms)
- The Brothel (studio version or Liva At Parkteatret)
- Undercover (live)
- Mountaineers (featuring John Grant)
- Röyksopp & Susanne Sundfør - Never Ever
- The Sound of War (Live at Spellemann)
Back again. Weirdly.
Where is this whole set as HD audio?
❤❤❤Soberbo❤❤❤
Do you have any of the other performances from this concert? I thought John Grant was also a highlight but can't find his contributions anywhere on YT.
Capolavoro
She has to sing the next Bond theme
I thought this song is sung from a male perspective. Being sung by a womann gives it a new dimension.
thank god for Radcliffe and Marconi the chain!
Nice version - but there is something wrong when Scott's original has been up for 10 years and has fewer clicks.
Scott's version isn't as good. I am saying this as an absolutely massive Scott Walker fan. This song was by far the highlight of that magical prom. While every song that night was performed beautifully, this is the only one that was better than the original IMO. I think the lyrics sound more powerful coming from a woman, so it was a stroke of genius to allocate this song to Susanne.

She makes me feel funny.
Мммм .ООООО.МЫ
Is this the only song she did that night? If there are others I'd love to see the video(s).
She also sang 'On your own again' and 'Angels of Ashes': th-cam.com/video/SVaWzonbsyI/w-d-xo.html
Nice one Pulsar77 , thank you
yep there were a few more and great finale with all the singers! Well worth seeking out...
@@RainbowCharade don't suppose you have a link do you?
@@shaunpierce4174 hi, I don't but the concert is out there somewhere on the web on MP3, or was...
Mantra "Vum". 👽👽👽
She has a wonderful voice but (IMO) the best cover version of this song is by Mr. Chris Connelly. RIP Scott Walker
Connelly's version is poor IMHO. This is an order of magnitude better. Not just because of orchestration, but maturity of artist and technical ability but expression and involvement. This passes the goosebump test.
