Walker Bros. Chasing Shadows in “Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore)”

“The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine (Anymore)” is a song by the American pop group The Walker Brothers. Written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, the song was originally recorded by Frankie Valli in 1965, but it became a massive hit for The Walker Brothers when they released their version in 1966.

The song is characterized by its dramatic orchestration, baroque pop arrangements, and emotional vocals, particularly by lead singer Scott Walker.

The lyrics convey a sense of heartbreak and loneliness, with the narrator expressing despair over lost love and the absence of happiness in their life.

It reached high positions on the charts in both the United States and the United Kingdom, solidifying their status as one of the prominent acts of the 1960s. The song’s melancholic atmosphere and powerful vocals contributed to its enduring popularity, and it remains a classic example of 1960s pop ballads.
