Walk Away Renee - The Left Banke Cover by Loren Radis

This really is one of my favorite songs, even though it's also one of the most covered songs ever... I hope you like it.

Recorded in my dad's garage on our studio. The harmonies are also sung by me, added in later.

And when I see the sign that
Points on way
The light we used to pass by
Every day

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me followin' you back home
These empty sidewalks on my street...
Are not the same
You're not to blame

From deep inside the fear that I
pushed aside
From deep inside the pain that I
chose to hide

Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon
My weary eyes
For me it cries


Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon
My weary eyes
For me it cries

Your name and mine
inside a heart, upoon a wall
Still find a way to haunt me,
Though they're so small

Just walk away Renee
Just walk away Renee
Don't walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
These empty sidewalks on my block
Are not the same
You're not to blame

That was great. You really put a lot of emotion into the song! If there is any chance of doing another great Left bank song (Pretty Ballerina)dedicated to my lovely wife of 40 years Barbara, you will have a friend for life.  Thanks Ron

This is my favorite cover of this song out of all the others on YouTube. I've listened to it about a million times. I even prefer it rather than the original.

You sung it beautifully. It's like a lullaby. Thank you so much for sharing. -3

PS. Not to mention that my name is Renee. Which only makes it 10x better. Ha ha. :)

@AstralGoldenSky I know what you mean. I always thought I had a horrible name. But guess what? You have a truly beautiful name.......

[RoziPozi2828]

My name is Renee, and I don't think a day goes by that someone doesn't song this to me! I don't mind though because it's such a good song. Good job! :)
