      It truly is a haunting song of unrequited love, and the maturity he shows by saying its not her fault. The heart wants what it wants, and nobody is to blame.
      The amazing thing is how young he was when he wrote the song.

    I think "Walk Away Renee" and "Cherish" by The Association are the greatest songs about unrequited love ever written. The simplicity and haunting melodies drive the lyrics emotional message. Few have not felt that knawing queasy feeling about someone you love, and realizing they will never return those feelings. I've been there more than once.

    My mom's funeral was on July 21, 2011. I read in the papers that The Left Banke was playing @ Littlefield's, right near me. I immediately got a ticket, only $20. It was part of this tour and one of the most beautiful concerts I've ever been to, and just the music I needed to hear. The street and the lot they sing about is near 205th Street and the Grand Concourse, the route I used to walk myself on the way to the subway from Bronx HS of Science.

      And when I see the sign that points one way
      The lot we used to pass by every day
      Just walk away, Renee
      You won't see me follow you back home
      The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
      You're not to blame
      From deep inside the tears that I'm forced to cry
      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 upon a wall
      Still finds a way to haunt me though they're so small
      Just walk away, Renee
      You won't see me follow you back home
      The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
      You're not to blame

    I was 9 in 1966. And for being kids, we were very much in tune with all that was mod and psychedelic in terms of pop culture, music, art and clothing fashions. We wore Beatle boots, Neru shirts, striped flares, had variations on the Beatle haircut, the whole bit! I remember listening to the Left Bank on the radio and they were an integral part of the soundtrack of our young lives!
