Man From Reno (song)
"Man from Reno" is a song written by musician and composer Goran Bregović with lyrics by American singer-songwriter Scott Walker in 1993. The song was recorded and released by Bregović and Walker for the 1993 French comedy film ''Toxic Affair'', directed by Philoméne Esposito. Bregović composed the rest of the film's score. A stylised sepia-toned music video was produced for the single. The single was Walker's seventh and last solo single. "Man from Reno" shares lyrical elements with "Farmer in the City" from Walker's 1995 album ''Tilt'', and musical elements with "Ipak poželim neko pismo" from Bregović's former band Bijelo Dugme 1979 album ''Bitanga i princeza''. "Man from Reno" is also notable as it is only the fourth A-side written by Walker. To date Walker has only written four singles, the others being; "Deadlier Than the Male" (1966), "The Electrician" (1978) and "Track Three" (1984). The single was backed with a second song written and recorded with Bregović; "Indec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Scott Walker (singer)
Noel Scott Engel (January 9, 1943 – March 22, 2019), better known by his stage name Scott Walker, was an American-British singer-songwriter, composer and record producer who resided in England. Walker was known for his emotive voice and his unorthodox stylistic path which took him from being a teen pop icon in the 1960s to an avant-garde musician in the 21st century. Walker's success was largely in the United Kingdom, where his first four solo albums reached the top ten. He lived in the UK from 1965 onward and became a UK citizen in 1970. Rising to fame in the mid-1960s as frontman of the pop music trio the Walker Brothers, he began a solo career with 1967's '' Scott'', moving toward an increasingly challenging style on late-1960s baroque pop albums such as ''Scott 3'' and ''Scott 4'' (both 1969). After sales of his solo work started to decrease, he reunited with the Walker Brothers in the mid-1970s. From the mid-1980s onward, Walker revived his solo career while moving in an ...

Songs Written For Films
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs. These songs, which have broad appeal, are often composed by professional songwriters, composers, and lyricists. Art songs are composed by trained classical composers ...
