  • this song has been with me through every break up. really helps me get through it. i love this song. really puts an understanding that you can love someone but know they arent right for you! ben harper, you get major props for this one!!!

  • this song makes things hurt so much. especially when the one person that puts a smile on your face walks away. miss her and love her. she definitely put the happy in my ness. miss you with all my heart belle.

    xo

  • The kind of memories this song brings, hurts. But it's such a good song.

  • wonderful!

  • This wasn't the song I was searching for

    But Ben Harper just gained a fan, wow

  • sad :(

  • memories..

  • @lauraemilia1

    true... :-)

  • Hey check out my cover of this beautiful song. I don't try to over do it. I also have some original songs that are worth listening to

  • she used to put the happy in my ness..... and i had to walk away, just like that, those forty people have been on the other end of this situation their whole lives.

  • i love that man like crazy, but sometimes you just have to walk away....

  • i broke up with my partner coz of different religions. we could never be accepted together. and its true that sometimes you just have to turn and head for the door and walk away.

  • if u dislike this song surely it can be for no other reason than you must have lost your soul while you were selling your ass and sucking all that dick chasing sweet lady H ...

  • people act if relationships are the ultimate thing in life. Relationships serve to fulfil certain needs. Like eating serves to fulfil hunger, relationships fill a physical and an emotional need. When you decorate your relationship and try to make it something it isn't tthe only thing that will come without a doubt is suffering

  • :\

  • Please check out Lee DeWyze's cover of this song. Lee has taken this song and made it even more amazing. Trust me! Cant post link but search on Google for DeWyze Walk Away Vh1 and you'll see it (better sound than YouTube version which you can search for the same way here) Lee has a voice that radiates his genuine emotion and connection to the songs he sings.

  • @pamicable I guess you must be kidding, right?

  • embrace the pain. its the same chemicals in your brain as bliss. its all fun.

  • what situation would one have to be to walk away from true love?

  • @livvy066 you will find out, one day.

  • Wow, just too me ages to remember who I first heard sing this, so different by Eliza Carthy. Think I prefer this one!!

  • Love this song!

  • Hey everyone,

    I know it doesn't come close to Bens version,

    but check out my cover of Walk Away.

    Thumbs Up.

  • ben i hate when you talk about me in your songs...haha

  • hmmmmm

  • these cords are similar to wish u were here - pink floyd. awesome

  • O my lanta.. this song gives me the chills Much love to Ben Harper. Much love to whoever posted it. Enjoi :D

  • if only someone loved me enough to realize they couldnt walk away..

  • Now THIS is good song writing folks!

  • @143tammydee

    What are you trying to say? You don't think, "I Whip My Hair Back And Forth" is good song writing? ;)

  • Man reminded of Bob Dlyan

  • This song hits my heart hard. Really applies to a long distance relationship. It hurts knowing that you can't have someone who is perfect for you simply because you don't live close enough and have too many obligations to be able to move closer to each other so you just have to end it. Just happened to me.

  • @XxNameNotAvailablexX im in the same boat. ill have to walk away too...i feel you.

  • @mrevil666official cause i miss u and i always cry when i hear this song.. you should know that

  • i love artists like ed sheeran ben harper tracy chapman josh kumra etc because they can connect with the listeners and make the best music with simple instruments and a voice , its amazing and there work is always well written unlike this britney spears shit that is just put out there to make money where as these artists make music for there love of music and money is just a bonus they deserve

  • Ben Harper is my favourite artist.... He can express feelings with music... and it's magic.

  • walking away of a loved person, takes off the air you breathe

  • this made me cry my brother sang this to me just before leaveing to live whith his dad in japan for 5 years and when he came back he stayed for 3 day then left for the airforse ;,( i miss him so much

  • @strangegirlloveskirt Airforse! lol "The forse is strong with this one."

  • this made my day in so many ways. i now am a fan of Ben Harper

  • of course you should always try sticking together....but sometimes walking away is an act of true love...hard,but sometimes worth the pain

  • WHERE ARE THE LYRICS

  • @AnimalStrings in the descrption

  • @AnimalStrings in the description dumb

  • @mrevil666official omg you just put me crying, i miss u

  • @Liiofficial123 i miss u too :c don't cry :o

  • @Liiofficial123 why did you cry?

  • Sometimes, when you love someone, you just have to let she go (; That's the love meaning :D

  • Love it!

  • I'm too stubborn to walk away.

    

  • @Thesideburnsguy you and me both bro.

  • I did it but some people are not going to be on your on way . And maybe is better this way.

  • Muito Bom... Brasil

  • really speaks the truth to some..

  • the peaple that has lost some1 close you can relate to this song make me fill okie to be sad

  • sometimes you just have walk awayyyyyyy

  • it was foolish of me to play this song right now. i should have known better...

  • 34 people are lucky not to know this feeling. if they did, then they would like this song

  • @30grinch yeah dude you have so much life experience I'm sure, I'll bet you're life is just one big rollercoaster ride...sarcasm...if someone gave this song a thumbs down, maybe it's because not everyone likes four chords repeated over an entire song with no variation?

  • Me and my lady broke up 3 months ago. We have been fooling ourselves by staying around and trying to make it work after she threw all of my stuff out and kicked me out. This song definitely hits home and makes it easier. Thanks Benny boy!

  • it's no where, not now here

  • K.I.Z. xD

  • nothing is better than love. period. love is the strongest, most intense, intimate, and best feeling a human can experience. Love can take away pain. no matter how strong or heavy the pain may be.

  • @SicKNezZv your gay

  • elinofrida

    The posted lyrics is incorrect....it is NOT

    "And once again you my friend are now here to be found'

    It is...........'And once again you my friend are no where to be found"

  • @TOBrienUSA It cleary a typo you melon. 'no where' - 'now here' the space is just misplaced.

  • Ben says it all.

    No matter how much you love someone , sometimes it's just not right for you and you just have to walk away...

    i believe it's the worst pain for someone to endure.

    After listening to Ben's music , it inspires me and i know i can get through <3

    like if you agree :)

  • @Ramey94 believe me, what people term as "love" is a misconception, to love is to have light is to have knowledge, to have knowledge is to love, to know what we all are and how we are all one is to love.

  • The live version on Live From Mars Disc 2 is even better. If thats even possible :)

  • Not as good as I expected from him.  Ben has so much more vocal talent than this!

  • beeyuutiful, feeds my soul.

  • Music just doesnt get any better than this.

  • Si jamais tu reviens à Québec mon Ben, n'hésite surtout pas à la jouer celle-là, t'aurais vraiment fini ton show en beauté..

  • I broke up with a girl after 3 years because we got into drugs and I needed out a year later were both clean and now I love and miss her more than even I knew I could love someone and now she's with someone else while she's all I want... damn this song hits home

  • This song is too perfect

  • ...its so hard to do and sooo easy to say...

  • she was the strength i needed to breathe, my one and only. lost her.

  • She was also my best friend. Life isint fair sometimes.

  • @xx420guitarbro420xx I feel you man...

  • wow... no more to say..

  • she means so much to me, ive done so many acts of random kindness, i split my heart out to her, she just takes it, and doesnt respond with anything, we want to get back to the way we were, and were trying to, were on a break now, but we had an encounter and she said forget it, but i pleaded and got the break back, shes so special to me and i dont want to live without her, i love her, and i know she doesnt know that, but i hope. ive never become to attached to someone ever in my life.

  • @SicKNezZv It's easy to become attached to someone and put all your hopes and dreams with them. Unfortunetly we as humans cannot rely on that. If were leaning on eachother and one walks away...well...we fall. Sorry about your situation. God shuts doors and opens other ones. Good luck bro.

  • she seems to be doing better off without me, we always used to say we met each other sooner, and i wish we did. but at the same time, i dont, because we wouldnt have what we have now. were stressing each other out constantly and im trying to pull it together. i want to tell her i love her, but im scared ill scare her away. she means so much, only if she knew and cared as much as i care about her. shes my everything and anything. i would do anything for her... this song helps me hope.

  • lost love is better than never loving i dont believe that there is no pain worse than having to walk away for the the sake of your own sanity

  • @smokey24055 wow, when I read your comment I had tears in my eyes.. thank you. I'd like to say that time heals every wound but truth is the scars will always remain.

  • @smokey24055 Theres no pain in what you don't know; people who have never experienced love don't know the feeling, so there is no pain. So it may be better to love, but its more painful.

  • @smokey24055

    words of wisdom...

  • @smokey24055 truest words ever spoken my friend

  • @smokey24055 Pain caused by a CHOICE to walk away is PAIN brought on to self. We choose our own suffering. ACCEPT it, CLAIM it as your own and take action to move forward. PAIN IS....PAIN WILL...PAIN ALWAYS...... WILL MOVE US FORWARD.... OR NOT?

  • @duckiechicy Notice how the lyrics in the song address what you just said.

  • @smokey24055 going through it now... and im not sure how much sanity ive found...

  • esse som me lembra qndo minha vizinha

    deu o cú dela pra mim

    foi tãão bomm

    eu enfiei tudo nela... todos os meus 50 cm

  • This song reminds me of Heath Ledger.

    i miss him even though i've never met him.

  • She loved me...I wasn't sure...She walked away. I did love you; just scared. And no...time did not make it go away...in my heart is where you remain. 10 years later I still let you go everyday....

  • 15 years ago as a high-school kid in adolescent love, a girl I probably should have walked away from played this song for me for the first time. 15 years later, I'm glad this song is still there when I walked away this time. I've been singing it the whole 15 years because it's so bare and beautiful, but I've really only felt it when I first heard it and now.

  • :"""""((((((

  • How can 31 people dislike this song...

  • My mother died 5 years ago and I remmenber listen to this song and crying like a baby. It describe some of my feelings....I miss her so much....

  • So hard to do so easy to say.. amen

  • Comment removed

  • @mongolenpup This literally describes word for word what I have gone through for the past 3 months. Everything died between us like 2 weeks ago, but I know I still like her regardless... I Feel your pain!

  • They say time will make all this go away, but it's time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays ...love this song

  • @djlovely1000 - I know right...

  • So many people to love, why worry about one? Because that one had the other half of my heart :'(

  • can you please upload when zac efron sang this to vanessa hudgens ?? if you have , thanks

  • Walk and I'll give you something to walk away from. Cry and I'll give you something to cry about. You don't walk away from me. I walk away from you, Dad.

  • /m/

  • so lovely.

  • Cass cover of Walk Away- Ben Harper  <...... look it up watch her shes great!!!!

  • It makes me cry so much... S:

  • I have to try to run harder......

  • I have to run harder......

  • I walked away. But now I wish with every step I take that I could walk back.

  • Ben Harper doesnt create music he creates art and every single work of art he has created touches me and makes me feel like I can get thoruogh anything (:

  • beny harper, just whisper your soft voice to me everyday..

  • beny harper, just whisper your soft voice to me everyday..

  • this song shakes me down to the core. a true sum up of love

  • It's sinful to not have ben harper's albums on my itune, :(

  • @twiggy695 Yes, yes it is.

  • great song...29 people can't walk away!

  • What the actual fuck? 28 people didn't like this. WHY? What the fuck is wrong with you people? Ben Harper sings what we all feel. You know it, I know it, he knows it. Don't dislike it cos he tells the truth.

  • @ianbrown3003 hey there some peps who has another tase in music, maybe they like hip hop, sue, i like nearly everything if its the right situation but not everybody is like thta. so go with it.

  • @BerlinGaming lol I was so drunk when I wrote that that I didn't even remember posting it. You make a good point, but I still don't get why people feel the need to hit a 'dislkie' button on what is a great piece of music. Taste is irrelevant, if you've got half a brain and a good ear you'll always appreciate a piece of music, even if it isn't something you'd listen to yourself....people should save their dislikes for the crap that gets released which has no talent or soul or thought behind it.

  • so true and so painful...

  • Don't ever think i left you because I wanted to. I had to. We were killing each other.

  • @cjrowdy1 That's the same line Saintbernadine used on me, see the comments above. Guess what? It doesn't help like you think it might. She has left me with time stealing my tomorrows.

  • Pure music.

  • So sad. I love it tho.
