Rod McKuen - If You Go Away with intro (MAX Prom 2005)

[@barneyronnie]

Hearing Mckuen's voice always gives me chills; I love this man, and may he R.I P. Life passes by so quickly. Enjoy it please, folks, and never take it for granted.

I grew up with this mans poetry his voice. Such talent. In the 60s I had most if his books & recordings. Now nearly 80 yes I read everyday his poetry & thanks to the internet can listen & watch R M over & over again. So much pleasure.......

[@hermanjolink7647]

One of my favorite musicians. An era of real creativity. Went to his concert at Durban city hall in 1978. Have never forgotten his rendition of " Ballard of the black eagle" RIP Rod

[@joe-l5s4f]

great song, great singing.. thanks. he is the writer of the english words.. the man was one of peace, quiet solitude,

[@aldrelategan9988]

Had been in love with Rod McKuen ever since I discovered his poetry and music in the early 70's. He was, and still to me, unique. Will hold him in my heart forever.

[@fernandochavez4312]

My father loved this mans voice. He would put a record on and listen to him back when families would sit in living rooms and talk, play games, and ask each other about their day. Thank you.

[@rosienorton665]

Astonishing. His translation of this song is simply beautiful. I had the good fortune to see him in concert in London many many years ago. I also went to one of his book signings. He asked me my name and when I told him it's Rosemary he said That's a very pretty name' and dedicated the book to me and drew a flower on the page. I look at it every so often and remember him. Tears running down my cheeks. Such a lovely man.

[@carrizogerman]

An amazingly beautiful rendition.!!! I loved it.

[@nancyp8695]

I love the way he sings as if he is talking, begging his lady to stay. 🥰🥰🥰

[@barneyronnie]

You mean his man; Rod liked the Same Sex. He was gay😉

[@rosecohen9748]

I loved his songs in San Francisco when I was a young woman and never forgot his music or poetry, especially loved the songs with Jacques Brel. Rest in peace rod.

[@chrisflaherty8991]

There is such emotion here, like her leaving is taking his life. It's almost as if this is a prequel to the events in Seasons in the Sun, where her leaving slowly ebbs his life away as the sun goes down.

[@dapdne4916]

He is, as always, incredible.

[@김도겸-m2h]

Thank U very much!

[@ezwriter101]

They're lovely and reflective. I can see why academics and others in ivory towers uniformly were rough on his work, but it's more revealing of their deficits than his. People loved his work -it touched something in their memory or wishes that they could relate to in an emotional sense.

[@eunjupak2476]

His voice is autumn itself!

Bravo - I met MR. RMcK back in 1977 at Cerritos College - he signed his book for me - 'sleep warm' you all -

[@solomonsfarm]

What an incredibly sad and tragic song. The song of a fatherless child

[@MarthalieThurstonSachemPiper]

May be adapted, but Jim and I always considered it to be yours alone. Thank you for your music

[@luismariasavasta1379]

[@tonysinger]

Very very moving and just so wonderful

[@jhyasonia7724]

아~~몸을 움직일 수가 없을 정도로 감동입니다. 젊은 날 좋아했던 곡과 가수를 나이 들어 다시 만나 살아온 시간을 정리하는 기분입니다. 사랑합니다.

😭Beautiful

[@denisseeessence3894]

As we get older and if we have a partner this is true sadness.

[@Espmass1]

I totally agree...Rod McKuen may have wrote the lyrics buy he can't sing. Try YouTubing Neil Diamonds version and let me know what you think....

[@oliviadriver1362]

@@Espmass1 Rod McKuen was the grand master, but Neil Diamond is good also.
