Ne Me Qui Te Pas Jacque Brel .....this is a great version ..also listen to frank sinatra doing it. Its been covered by many people ..Hauntingly achingly beautiful
So do I Joy. My dear friend Elaine was madly in love with Neil and I took his concert every time he played in SoCal. That was when were in are late twenties back in the early seventies.
I too heard this on Mr. Robot, brought back memories. Maybe this generation will discover that this beautiful song never gets old, love it! Neil Diamond is great!
I didn’t think any English-language version of Jacques Brel’s “Ne Me Quitte Pas” could match the poignant intensity of that great songwriter’s own performance - but this one definitely comes close. Love and respect to Mr. Diamond, a true gem of our generation! ❤️
Have you listened to Angelina Jordan’s version? 11 years old at home with no fancy equipment. Just a beautiful voice full of emotions. ruclips.net/video/4IJxfUv-E74/видео.html
Awesome song. It reflects me,and the woman I lost to a cerebral aneurysm on Sunday, August 16,2015. I love you Vanessa. ( July 27,1972 - August 16,2015)
Meravigliosa canzone ed interpretazione caro Neil Diamond 🎶✨👍 Grazie mille Cherry per la condivisione 🙏 Complimenti ed Applausi 👏 👏 A presto 🇮🇹✔️🤗💙 Ciao ✍️
I've always loved Neil and his songs but have never realized the depth of his soul until I heard this song. Now, most of his songs seem to reflect the deep wisdom and soul searching he has endured over the years. He is a beautiful spirit and I thank that he has shared his life with us!!!
My husband and I of 45yrs now always loved this music. I used to sing this to him every time he went to work and I was left alone "just an empty room filled with empty space" . After all these years, every morning I sing this to him when he leaves. " All the good is gone from goodbye" . Thank you Mr. Diamond for this precious song.
This was always the best male version. Being a poet himself, Neil does great justice to Jacques Brel, his French lyrics and style. I never tire of this.
My favourite version is by then 12 years old Angelina Jordan. Recorded on the spur of the moment by her grandmother, it is amazing how this 12 years old captures the essence of the song and delivers an emotional rendition even though she is not fully familiar with the lyrics and No fancy recording equipment used to record it. ruclips.net/video/4IJxfUv-E74/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Neil Diamond is so talented! Everyone who likes any type music should be able to appreciated his awesome abilities! I've been fortunate to see him in concert on two occasions. Puts on one of best shows I've seen and I've also seen Elvis twice!!
Neil Diamond brought me here. I first saw him in concert in 1972 at the Greek Theater (Hot August Night) and have been a fan ever since! After watching Mr Robot and hearing this song, i realize how long he has been around and is still going strong. He is a World Icon!
So true Howard, he said the words "we will do things for you that you will not forget for a while". It's been almost 47 years now, and I haven't forgotten that great concert...
I will stand by Hot August Night till the day I croak, I was aged 12,when we all started singing the hell out of it.. Absolutely classic ,and I never really got into live recordings, hey, but this one starts a very minor few , would love to do a stage show, singing, and mimicking every covered song
I always wished I could have been there for the original Hot August night. But then Neil came to Dublin and it was even better! Forever in Blue Jeans encored three times during the show. Fabulous unforgettable night. Love his music.
I have seen so many thumbs down for Neil Diamonds music, obviously those people are from the younger generation and don't appreciate his music. I grew up with his music, and I still enjoy it 💯.
@@racketrick I believe Rod Mckuen and Jaques Brel wrote it. You should Google the story behind Jaques Brel story. I read this many years ago but he actually was heartbroken over a relationship. That's why this song was his swan song and it brings the wretched pain one experienced when love is unrequited. My Moroccan girlfriend made a collage of our pictures with Jacques singing this song in French two years ago. I just hope it doesn't go away as this song depicted. Beautiful song anyway in the French language even though one can't understand one single word.
@@MichDonn Yes indeed. But the English lyric, which is not a direct translation from Jacques Brel's original, is by Rod McKuen. And also, Jacques Brel's original version ("Ne Me Quitte Pas") was in 3/4. This version by Neil Diamond is in 4/4.
@@MichDonnI've heard that the French version is MUCH better in terms of lyrical content though. I dont understand French so I have to take other peoples word for it, but my French friends told me its not even close.
You will listen to songs when you see some part of you in that song, and some song it will brake you to pieces, this song is that kinda song. Love it thank you Neil ❤️

Reminds me of someone I lost when I was still 18 yrs. He used to sing this song before I go back to university dorm not knowing at aIl that I will be the one to lost him when after two weeks after his heart operation complications developed. Now I still remember him and his love all this years.
Aloha Neil Diamond and cherrym !!! Thanks for posting this beautiful song " If You Go Away." We all need love in order to survive in this world~~~find someone worthy of your life ~~~ give yourself that chance and make living wondrous for each of you !!!! Robert S.J. Hu August 31, 2020.
Peen prachtig lied, een mooie melodie waar ik geen genoeg van krijg, zo mooi, en de tekst , geschreven voor mensen die van mekaar af willen, zo mooi weergegeven, in een woord prachtig! Liefs marian.
If You Go Away - Neil Diamond "If You Go Away" If you go away on this summer day, Then you might as well take the sun away All the birds that flew in the summer sky When our love was new And our hearts were high When the day was young, And the night was long And the moon stood still For the nightbird song If you go away, if you go away If you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a day Like no day has been or will be again We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain We'll talk to the trees that worship the wind And if you go, I'll understand Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand If you go away, if you go away If you go away If you go away, as I know you must, There'll be nothing left in the world to trust Just an empty room filled with empty space Like the empty look I see on your face Can I tell you now, as you turn to go I'll be dying slowly 'til your next hello If you go away, if you go away If you go away But if you stay, I'll make you a night Like no night has been or will be again I'll sail on your smile I'll ride on your touch I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much But if you go, I won't cry, The good's gone from goodbye If you go away, if you go away If you go away
Thank you Mr. Robot...for for bringing me to this song again so exquisitely full of pathos and longing attributed to the young but which I have felt every day of my considerable, wonderful life.
This song pierces my heart and mind as I remember that man I still love but never married. There are still tears falling from a broken heart to this day.

He was a beautiful man, beautiful voice, I grew with him, and with his songs, meant so much to me and my friend Sandra who is no more. Thank you Neil x
Jacques Brel - who wrote this song in 1959 - bought me here. He died many years before I came to this world and yet his impact can be felt in 2019. He's the guy who started it all with "Ne me quitte pas" of course followed by other legends covering and doing their own renditions. He bought me here and to covers by Frank sinatra, Nina simone etc. Enjoy the music, feel it. Forward it.
"If You Go Away" by Neil Diamond, memorabilia. Oh, god, there is so much to remember from the 70's and Neil Diamond. I was raising my family and we were having a great time on our boat in Lake Vermillion, Minnesota, listening to Neil. My husband died in 1982.

This song was written by a Belgian songwriter named Jacques Brel and recorded in 1959 under the name “Ne me quitte pas” which is French for “Do not leave me.” In 1963 an American poet/songwriter named Rod McKuen wrote the English lyrics for this song titled “If You Go Away.” Monsieur Brel also wrote the song “Le Moribond” in 1963 which was also given English lyrics by Mr. McKuen and more famously known as “Seasons in the Sun” which was a worldwide hit for Terry Jacks in 1974.
Every song he writes and sings is another favorite of mine. His orchestra is so good and his talent just continues to produce good music. Whatever he sings is perfection. Talk about a legend❣️
🌟 NATIONAL TREASURE 🌟Neil Diamond ,Born 1/24/1941 , Age 77 Beautiful & Wonderful music Thank you for putting heart into everything you do . God bless you.🎼🎵🎶
Neil always composed and sang significant songs. All his songs have feeling and depth and all are good to hear as he sings from the heart. One of the best composer-singers I have ever listened too.
I never heard of Mr. Robot lol. But, when I was a little kid in the 70's, my mom had the Neil diamond album "Stones" which included this song. I remember it well. There are other covers of this song from various singers, but this one is honestly the best I have heard, by far! Nobody draws out the emotions of this song quite like Neil Diamond. Also the song reminds me of my mom who passed away when I was 7 years old, a victim of domestic abuse. She loved Neil Diamond. His songs remind me of her. She died in August of 1977, thus the lyrics..."If you go away on this summer day, then you might as well take the sun away...." :(
Came to know about this masterpiece after it got featured in Mr Robot. What a calming track 😌
The original version ''Ne me quitte pas'' Jacques Brel
me too
Mr Robot Introduced me to so much magnificent music
Same here!
@@CoreDump451 What are they apart from this song? Give all the list of those songs....!
I listened to this song back in 1977
It still bring tears to my eyes.
WOW.what a song
Jacques Brel
Are you alive still?
I can’t tell you how much I love this song, it’s beautiful and sad.❤😢
Ne Me Qui Te Pas Jacque Brel .....this is a great version ..also listen to frank sinatra doing it. Its been covered by many people ..Hauntingly achingly beautiful
I am 73 years old and I still love his music.
Joy Lester yo your never to old , good music never dies.
yeah sure.
This song reminds me of Mama Andrew...... RIP
Oh so do I! I loved Neil Diamond's music in the 60's, 70's, and on. Touches my ❤️

I just started watching Mr. Robot on Amazon, and heard it on there as well. Haven't stopped playing it ever since!!!
Alot of performers have done justice to this beautiful song. Niel Diamond is one of them.
His is the best.❤
and now Joaquin Phoenix is one of them!

Both versions are beautiful, he sounds ver romantic ❤

Neil Diamonds didn't write this song and music. It"s a french song
Not french. It's belgian. Written by Jacques brel
I've loved this since Rod Mckuen sang it. Neil sings it so well with the feeling.
Rod McKuen is a co-writer, and that's credited in the description.
It’s french sang by Jacques but wrote by a french
And it s an other thing than this bullshit
Sorry
C’est la France bande de cons 😂😂😂

Only a poet will truly understand another man's plight. And sing about it.

lovely to listen to.
Thank you
How could anyone give a thumbs down to this remarkable song and Neil Diamond?
Must be the new generation who doesn't know what real music is.
A jealous idiot would do such stupidity
Neil Diamond brought me here. I first saw him in concert in 1972 at the Greek Theater (Hot August Night) and have been a fan ever since! After watching Mr Robot and hearing this song, i realize how long he has been around and is still going strong. He is a World Icon!
Your a lucky man Tom, Hot August Night, the best.

If You Go Away - Neil Diamond
"If You Go Away"
If you go away on this summer day,
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new
And our hearts were high
When the day was young,
And the night was long
And the moon stood still
For the nightbird song
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a day
Like no day has been or will be again
We'll sail on the sun, we'll ride on the rain
We'll talk to the trees that worship the wind
And if you go, I'll understand
Leave me just enough love to fill up my hand
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
If you go away, as I know you must,
There'll be nothing left in the world to trust
Just an empty room filled with empty space
Like the empty look I see on your face
Can I tell you now, as you turn to go
I'll be dying slowly 'til your next hello
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away
But if you stay, I'll make you a night
Like no night has been or will be again
I'll sail on your smile
I'll ride on your touch
I'll talk to your eyes, that I love so much
But if you go, I won't cry,
The good's gone from goodbye
If you go away, if you go away
If you go away

Poetic & reaches my soul

You are not going anywhere Mr. Neil Diamond cause you are living in our hearts always
and for ever +
This beautiful song written by Neil gives us the depth of his heart & soul. Love you always ❤
This song was written by a Belgian songwriter named Jacques Brel and recorded in 1959 under the name “Ne me quitte pas” which is French for “Do not leave me.” In 1963 an American poet/songwriter named Rod McKuen wrote the English lyrics for this song titled “If You Go Away.”
Monsieur Brel also wrote the song “Le Moribond” in 1963 which was also given English lyrics by Mr. McKuen and more famously known as “Seasons in the Sun” which was a worldwide hit for Terry Jacks in 1974.
To add to my last comment, Neil Diamond did write the megahit
“I’m A Believer” recorded by The Monkees.
Every song he writes and sings is another favorite of mine. His orchestra is so good and his talent just continues to produce good music. Whatever he sings is perfection. Talk about a legend❣️
🌟 NATIONAL TREASURE 🌟Neil Diamond ,Born 1/24/1941 , Age 77 Beautiful & Wonderful music Thank you for putting heart into everything you do . God bless you.🎼🎵🎶
Neil always composed and sang significant songs. All his songs have feeling and depth and all are good to hear as he sings from the heart. One of the best composer-singers I have ever listened too.
Sauf que cette chanson n'est pas de lui mais de Jacques Brel "Ne me quitte pas".

Jacques Brel
Diamond did not write this song. Jacques Brel wrote the original French version of the song, then Rod McKuen wrote the English translation.
I never heard of Mr. Robot lol. But, when I was a little kid in the 70's, my mom had the Neil diamond album "Stones" which included this song. I remember it well. There are other covers of this song from various singers, but this one is honestly the best I have heard, by far! Nobody draws out the emotions of this song quite like Neil Diamond. Also the song reminds me of my mom who passed away when I was 7 years old, a victim of domestic abuse. She loved Neil Diamond. His songs remind me of her. She died in August of 1977, thus the lyrics..."If you go away on this summer day, then you might as well take the sun away...." :(
ne me quitte pas -jaques brel original, nina simone cover- both also awesome
Thank you for the many pictures of this beautiful man. Very nice.
I am listening in 2020 & love music of Neil Diamond.
Attended his concerts in the 70's ultimate experience that I remember to this day,
