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.

[lesleythompson]

Her performance has made me realize that this song is a masterpiece.

[RDNZL]

I must have watched this about 50 times and I honestly think this is one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Sublime.

[edwardmulholland]

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.

[chrismorgan]

Brilliant version of a Scott Walker classic, possibly my favourite Scott Walker.

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.

[BrendanPerkins]

This is utterly gorgeous. I'd love to hear Susanne do a James Bond theme some day.

[Salsiccia]

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.

[joevanseeters]

Some people are just born with incredible is one of those people. Absolutely beautiful person with superior vocal talent.

[stephenhowell]

Always loved Susanne's voice, that vibrato .

[charismaticart]

Scott Engel Walker has not yet been recognized for the genius that he was.

[BUweB]

Pure Magic. Great Strings - well and Susanne Sundfor.

[franzitaduz]

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……..

[alanjonesjones]

I always get emotional when l hear this by Scott, but this is INCREDIBLE!!! As we say in Teesside...kin BEAUTIE

[involvingdoors]

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 !

[Psilio]

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 :)

[johncooke]

Those hairs on the back of your neck just tingle when she reaches the climax of the song, amazing!

[andyrenals]

I keep coming back to this. Such a rich voice. Susanne's own music showcases more of her talent. Fabulous.

[robertmac]

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...
