nostalgia | need to build a time machine and go back to the 80s |
nostalgia | Legendary. So wish I didn't have to grow up. So many old memories |
nostalgia | Brings back so many good memories. How I wish I could go back to the 80s best time of my life. Will always love this music |

nostalgia | this brings back so many memories!!! boy how things have changed!!! wish I could go back in time! Miss the 80s and 90s. |
not nostalgia | My husband who's currently out of the country has just sent me this song as I'm going through a real tough time at present. It has reduced me to tears it's words are so meaningful and beautiful |
not nostalgia | The singing sounds live here. Not quite like the record. Love that. |
nostalgia | Fantastic live version! Beautiful voices, beautiful faces. Brings me back to 14 years old in 1966. Thank you Scott and John, RIP. |
not nostalgia | One of the best what a performance..always loved this says much.....Thank you Scott for you talent...Rest in Peace ...amen...the sun ain't gonna shine anymore. |
nostalgia | the song reminds me and the 60s when I was very young teenager the Walker Brothers came to Luton to The Ritz and we went up the fire escape into the Ritz where we saw them they were absolutely brilliant and handsome so handsome (the wife) |
not nostalgia | Not sure about the background music on this but the vocals are definitely performed live. |
nostalgia | Great song brings back memories from when I was a teenager. :) |
nostalgia | 50 years back music take me to my best time thanks |
not nostalgia | I want to be reincarnated in parallel universe where I have that voice. It is limitlessly awesome. |
not nostalgia | Wait a minute , you mean I'm dead , dead for sure should I make a move for the door that says rest room , for improvement , wait a second , one cockamame idea after another , our dream has come true and lucky for you , you have a special way of seeing the light at the beginning of the tunnel , cause after the loving I'm still in love with You , really ! |
nostalgia | Please take me back to the best times of my life |
not nostalgia | Nice to hear a group that sounds good live as well as the studio version. |
not nostalgia | Yes, you must be the ONLY one who thinks Frankie Valli did this better than the one, the only, the ORIGINAL Walker Brothers. The Walker Brothers' ORIGINAL version is the one I hear in my mind when I think of this song. The Frankie Valli version is too slow, in my recollection. |
not nostalgia | Am I the only one who thinks The Four Seasons did so much better and that this version is too fast and horrible |
not nostalgia | Love, love this song ... heard it on Supernatural and thought to myself that I need to hear it again and again. Loved it when it came out and still do, apparently. |
not nostalgia | All I am anymore is a man looking for his wife and son any one gets in the way of that is gonna lose |
nostalgia | OMG I went to see them when they came to the UK and john shouted this is for that beautiful lady who is wearing the same colors as me.jees I screamed the place down.they were fantastic so was JIMMIE HENDRICKS I loved the 60s a hippy girl I was. |
not nostalgia | How interesting that todays technology means that even with this vintage, we can now easily see the downy hair on Scott's fore arms, and come to that, the tendons and veins |
nostalgia | Love that song, what I know now wish I could go back in time . |
not nostalgia | thanks for the info.! i didn't realize they had such sophisticated technology in the 60's. in case you're interested, the association's "along comes mary" is on you tube, and jim yester is singing live along with the original recording. it's the one where they appeared on the smothers brothers show...thanks again! |
not nostalgia | very easy to do... you didn't even need to be a studio sound engineer to get only the tracks you needed. Artists used this technique frequently in the 50's, 60's and 70's whenever they weren't making appearances with a back-up band. |
nostalgia | watched ready steady go faithfully ,was totally in love with scott walker and wanted to marry him,unfortunately being 14 at the time it was not an option!! thanks for the wonderful childhood memories........ |
not nostalgia | There's so much great stuff going on musically (like the really cool Spectorish bass line, echoed on piano) that it's easy to miss what a really excellent lyric this song has. "Emptiness...It's a place you're in...nothing to lose...but no more to win..." Great song. Did this one start out with the Four Seasons? |
nostalgia | This song is almost painful to listen to as it brings back so many memories of that time period that will never be again. |
nostalgia | I remember when this was a hit. I was 13 and going to school dances. Great song and to a 13 year old it was so romantic and passionate. There would be a long line of girls doing the calypso and singing to this song. What a great voice this man has. |
nostalgia | Thank you. I feel nostalgic for this music very. I was a child. |
nostalgia | @TheIcewitch54 I watched Ready Steady Go while in England in the 60's and loved every minute. Brings back wonderful memories of my teen years. |
nostalgia | Its my mums favorite song, its a brilliant song, remember listening to this when I was little with my mom. Great voice. |
nostalgia | I remember going to their live concert at the Hemel Hempstead Pavillion - "Pop at the Pav" during summer 1996 - Brilliant ! - and this hit song was performed at top volume! Thanks for sharing - It bought back distant memories of life in the 60s! Warm Wishes - DeniseX |
not nostalgia | Real nice sound. Nice voices. Nice song. Nice theme. These guys should have made it further. |
nostalgia | One of the best i grew up with,happy memories. |
not nostalgia | Most people aren't aware of this fact, but in 1966 the Walker Brothers popularity in the UK ??it particularly that of lead vocalist Scott ??it reached a new high, especially among teenage girls, and their fan club in that country was said to have been larger than The Beatles. "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore," which hit number 1 in the UK, also did well in the U.S., but was less successful, charting at number 20. |
nostalgia | Takes me right back to being at my Mums side, she would sing along to all the great songs that were on the radio back in the 60,sheer bliss |
not nostalgia | It was originally released as a single by Frankie Valli in 1965 on the Smash label, but was more successful when recorded by The Walker Brothers in 1966.I love Frankie but he does not do this song justice I just love it by the Walker Brothers December 2019 |
nostalgia | Hey, I got kicked out of high school in 1966 for wearing my hair that long. Time have certainly changed. |
not nostalgia | A timeless powerful great song here on this day 11/29/19. .and until the end of time we will keep listening! |
not nostalgia | This song was beyond their time. They had no idea that the theme was eternal. |
not nostalgia | who else is listening to this track and thinking, my father has just passed away, somehow i got here, but I am smiling, , its nearly 3 in the morning but I am sure the sun will shine in the morning, |
nostalgia | Brings back many happy memories. |
nostalgia | The BEST song for me in the 60's, high school, endless youth energies and the best era for Rock n Roll. When you're raised in these songs and bands, nothing else matters, awesome experiences. Yes, 2019, most of them are gone but their songs and music are etched in our hearts. Walker Brothers, SCOTT, JOHN, GARY- RIP |
not nostalgia | I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Marin. I have about 8,000 songs in my iTunes, and this one is my favorite of all. I can't stand most of the garbage being put out there today, so most of my music is 50's to the 80's, so "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore" is in good company. But it stands alone as the very best. Funny, but none of the trio that made their music has the surname of Walker. |
not nostalgia | An American band, made history in Britain due to The Righteous Brothers. Walker Brothers may not have made it as famous as they did in Britain than America. :) |
not nostalgia | Wow, what an unforgettable, magnificently sung masterpiece of a song this is. For some reason, I always confuse the Walker Brothers with the Righteous Brothers, probably because they sound so much alike. Both groups are outstanding artistically and deserve a great deal of respect. |
nostalgia | I remember hearing this song as a 10 year old who had just found out my 16 year old crush got a girlfriend, and really feeling the lyrics were written for me!! Listening to it now, 53 years later, that same heartache came back. That's the sign of TRUE music!!! Miss those days. |
nostalgia | Sept., 2019: goosebumps and SO MANY MEMORIES attached to this song...the melodrama of being a teenager in the 60's?? can I go back?? |
not nostalgia | Listening AGAIN Sept. 28, 2019. Singing aloud in my apt. And loving every second. Three or four listens should do the trick! |
nostalgia | so many memories attached to this song... in my teens then... the world was a big mysterious, wonderful, place... little did I know what was to come ... |
not nostalgia | One of the great ones that rings in my head for ever, the sun is gonna shine |
not nostalgia | I ran into this video a couple weeks ago. I'm from the 60's era of music and somehow missed this one. Fantastic song, great instruments, lyrics, and great voices. I listen to it every day now. Thanks for posting it. |
not nostalgia | I love these doomsday songs - knowing it's just a song ... one of 10 of my favorite songs ever! |
nostalgia | One of the best. Now, can I go back to those days please? Life was so much simpler then.. and they had real music too. |
nostalgia | I absolutely love this song. Miss those days all the time. Can never get back there again. How sad is that. |
not nostalgia | No male vocalist sounds like this today. So sad the way music has deteriorated. Listen to the clarity, the depth and timber of his voice. |
nostalgia | I miss the 60`s and 70`s so much!! I really felt alive and optimistic. |
not nostalgia | I have loved this song for many years. Never tire of it.I think I like it even more today. The song is definitely in my top five. |
not nostalgia | One of the greatest voices in musical history. It's too bad that they didn't create more master pieces like this one for us to enjoy forever. |
not nostalgia | What a voice. This song and Take it easy on yourself. These songs had real meaning .. not some crazy break up .. Drama |
nostalgia | Timeless song. One of my favorites . Brings back lovely memories, old & new |
not nostalgia | One day God will wake us up from the dead and we will get to listen to all the beautiful music our generation of musicians shared with us. It will be glorious.forever. |
not nostalgia | One of those Classic (and there were so many of them) 60's songs. Era defining. Great sound, given what was available in the way of Recording Equipment back then. Haunting, moving and beautifully crafted music. |
nostalgia | Yeah! Listening to this song takes me back to my first heart broke....I thought the sun was not going to rise anymore because of the tears in my eyes... |
not nostalgia | Can today's artists write and sing a touching song like this???? Nobody! Nowadays all they sing about is lust, fame and money. The new generation sucks! |
nostalgia | This song reminds me of you WENDY. I miss you so much my big sister. I would give whatever I could to see you again. Love and miss you so much |
not nostalgia | just perfect! I listened to that song about a million times. got better each time ... |
not nostalgia | MAGNIFICENT!!! This was never off our record player in the 60s! Amazing production and hidden away somewhere is some additional fantastic drummer. Try hearing it in stereo thru headphones. It blows your mind! KAN 6.19 UK . PS Thank you so much for presenting this in its correct 4:3 format!!! |
not nostalgia | Best download yet....They had their own sound that no one has captured to this day......Sun has not shined since this era of music died......Beam me up Scottie........ |
nostalgia | There are so many classic hits from this era and this is certainly one of them. Brilliant!!!!! vocals. I was 10 when this song cam out and I'm 63 now. So many memories, listening to this great tune. |
not nostalgia | The vocals have always been overwhelmed by the orchestra...I wish the record company would create a more intelligible version. |
not nostalgia | What an irritating clip with the microphone obscuring the singers. Perhaps it was considered clever in its day. Great song, great performance despite the awful camera work. |
not nostalgia | i have no wish to detract from the brilliant sound - but such tight trousers - really>? once seen, really difficult to look elsewhere! imprinted in my mind, not in a good way. |
not nostalgia | Great little song here..great vocals..i love to hear these kinds of songs its beautiful original and has such a great innocence and great feeling of pure spirted life.. |
not nostalgia | One of those few perfect in every way love songs you'll never hear again because today's music doesn't compare with those of the past. One of my all-time favorite songs. Super arrangement, super voice, super harmony. Doesn't get any better than this. |
nostalgia | This is a timeless classic and I have always loved it. Reminds me of those innocent days back in early 66 when I was 9 years old.This was playing on the juke box in the Blind Beggar, Whitechapel when Ronnie Kray shot George Cornell straight through the forehead while he was sat at the bar in March 66 killing him almost outright. |
nostalgia | My grandchild called this song crap !!!!!!! ..This song brings back so many memories for me .. brought tears to my eyes .. |
not nostalgia | Masculine melancholy given full throttle by the brilliant Scott Engel. One of the great pop ballads of the mid 60s. |
nostalgia | Brought back some crazy memories. Thank you for my teen years. Played this non stop. |
nostalgia | I had the audio cassette as a child. First rap tape. I was listening to this song. |
not nostalgia | watch out pretty Ricky they were here before you were and I thank you for keeping it going. |
not nostalgia | I am here to tell you now that no one does it like the bottom. Miami is the home of not only the whopper but the bass as well. |
nostalgia | this song was the jam when I was stationed in Germany still brings back wonderful memories listening to it. |
nostalgia | Takes me way back .. best years of my life music wise |
nostalgia | Club was jumping back in the day when this song came on. Good old days |
nostalgia | I can remember when I used to go to a teen club back in texas and they played this song all the time....... |
nostalgia | Brings Back Memories Days In The Club In The 80's |
not nostalgia | I can honestly say South Florida bass music had the whole south on lock back in the mid 80's through the early 90's. This is one those classics out so many from that era!!!!! |
not nostalgia | This song fits any situation an fits any type of party, cookout, anything. This is the greatest song of all time, there will be no other song seemed out as much are listen to as muchm as this one. All genders, an races will agree. Every generation of ya family will tell you the same if you ask them. Now " hey !!" "let that thank play" |
not nostalgia | It's like this voice and beat were made to coincide. " I need you , sha na na na , you know what I want" music has lost it purpose . To innovate, motivate, inspire not degrade, diss or downgrade. |
nostalgia | Oh, cool man I miss the 1980s, but don't the one little guy look like lil Wayne?? |
nostalgia | This song just take me back. How great the 80s was |
nostalgia | Damn I wish I could go back to these days. |
not nostalgia | To all this is when men where men and we told our women how we felt. But try that now your called soft why because we love you. |
