Scott Walker - “The War Is Over (Epilogue)”.
The final (original) song, from the final album of Scott’s baroque solo period. From here, it was movie music and cover songs, one aborted Walker Brothers reunion, and lots of booze. He came out the other side around 1978, rediscovering his muse in frightened soundscapes. But, consider this song a glance through a closing door, from the title to the lyrics to the ache of the strings. Goodbye classic crooning, hello modern terror.
