The video is not laughable. It´s beautiful.

Matt Monro one of the greatest singers of all time I never get tired of listening to him

The man with the golden voice.

At the age of 11, I first encountered this song, and it stirred something deep within me. Now, at 68, it continues to evoke powerful emotions. Best Singer And Song EVER!

If we are judging purely by the quality of the voice, Matt Monro is without doubt near the top - exceptional 😊

There's no substitute for quality !!!

This song is amazing. What a voice.

What a pleasure to hear a man who can really sing, we're still listening Matt :)

2020 'Walk away' brings back lots of beautiful memories. Now I am 68 years old, but I still listen to this song. I do like Matt Monro's golden voice. 👍👍

My dad died of Dementia, on 12th, last year, at 87, this was the first song at his funeral. I've heard it so many times, but didn't really understand the lyrics til then. Then i broke my fucking heart, god bless you dad, you're right, its one of the best songs ever written!

This just has to be played over and over again

A classic from one of the greats

My Dad's 2 favourite singers were Shirley Bassey and Matt Monro. Never understood it when I was a kid. Now at 53, I get it!!!!!

Love this song

wat a voice bloody amazing

I was 12 yrs old and heard this.... I KNEW I was hearing something SPECIAL. And I was right.:o)

I was a young teen when I heard this song by Matt Monro. It moved me so much then. It still does. A very beautiful melody and Monro is a beautiful singer.

The history of this song: In 1964 Matt Monro represented the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest in Copenhagen. Whilst there, he heard the Austrian entrant Udo Jurgens sing his song called 'Warum Nur Warum' (Why Only Why). Matt was so taken with the song that he asked his manager Don Black if he would write English lyrics for it. This song 'Walk Away' was the result.

I can remember my parents playing him and saying to me you will like this when you are older me saying yeah rite never at 16 well now I’m 55 and totally love his voice and music lol how wrong I was to doubt them 🤔

Matt was supreme on another level ❤️

Absolutely beautiful song. Matt Monro has a gorgeous voice. How sad he died of lung cancer at only age 54.

The sad untimely passing of Matt Monro left a big void in the wonderful but now forgotten songs of yesteryear. He was one of the last of the great crooners and was sensational. He is unforgettable and sadly missed.

Sadly missed alright. Welcome to the wannabe generation.

You simply can not find today and never will an "old" but a great singer like those singers in those days...

always loved this song. played it at my dad's funeral. will always be special to me

This man had such an extraordinary sole full voice, amazing feeling in his performance. I never tire of hearing him sing. What an amazing talent we have lost. Thank God we have his music to listen to for evermore.

Beautiful song-such a shame that vile Savile is there.

I agree. I don't know how I missed him but about 10 years ago I was still chatting w/a guy from England and he played this song for me. I felt like the world slowed down I caught my breath, felt my heart flutter and my eyes started to tear up. His voice is pure ecstasy. I find it so sad most Americans have heard him sing, yet never knew his name. How I wish people sang like this today.

Good old Matt, he had texture, tone, power and I just can't help listening to this.

My favourite crooner singing one of the all-time great songs.

I was born this year! I walked into a thrift store one day and this song was on the radio they were playing and three ladies were singing along....just run run away! I was hooked! So Sappy Great!..........Jody

it's 2018. i'm into matt monro marathon, listening to his songs. I am crying, not only because of his golden voice but because I "discovered" him only these days. I missed a great opportunity of enjoying his songs during my early years . I died when he said "Goodbye my love"... it was said and done, PERFECTION.

It’s really an early example of a music video. Love the model’s face...classic!

I. Agree. 500% Matt. Monroe. Is. The. BEST

A very touching display in song. Out of this World.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Loved this song when it first came out. Then back in London in the 70s for a visit I was in a coffee shop and this song came on the radio. There were so many people in that place, yet we all just stopped and listened and agreed that Matt Munroe's voice was so smooth and beautiful, and one of a kind. Matt had the power to touch so many different people at the same time.

+LouZ ontek I was lucky to meet him in about 1967 -Checkers Nightclub Sydney. Lonnie Donegan and Dusty Springfield were there too. After the show they all came down into the audience and spoke to their respective fans. About 30 of us had a chat with Matt and we just had a friendly discussion about music, other artists and songs that he might be able to sing etc. After about 20 minutes we left, not because we were bored but out of consideration for him. But he was not in any hurry to leave at all. He was a fantastic singer and a great guy.

I dream of waking up some morning to find a tsunami of societal shift in musical taste where the masses would willingly listen to, love, appreciate, & rediscover the likes of Terry Parsons. Where I wouldn't be the one tenth of one percent that remembers, appreciates, and plays his songs repeatedly. Only then would the likes of his talent, stage presence, impeccable appearance, and love of performing become immortal. God has blessed us beyond measure with Monro's short tenure on this island Earth.

ONLY 2 SINGERS MAKE ME CRY.......KAREN CARPENTER AND MATT MONRO.

Is it really half a century since this velvet voice hit the radios???

I was in high school, I still remember this song. Great.

Do you guys know that this is an English version of Austria’s 1964 Eurovision entry ”Warum nur warum”, originally sung by Udo Jürgens who won the Eurovision one year later with ”merci chérie”?

Another fine example of Matt “acting out” the premise of his song, the way the woman sitting at the table is gone by the time he’s done singing. Such a talented singer and yet taken from us too soon; I know he died in February 1985 at the youngish age of 54(that’s not much older than I am now, I’m 51)of liver cancer, I believe I read somewhere.(That’s what my mom died of, one of those rarely cureable cancers.) Anyway, may Matt RIP. :)

I read and thumbs up your comment two year ago. Today I revisited this song and re-read your comment. The great sadness I have is that a year ago I too lost my mum to liver cancer. And yet when I first read your comment mum was still alive and (we thought) well. As you say, liver cancer is a silent killer. It appeared from nowhere and mum was dead within two months of diagnosis. So sorry for the loss of your mother and mine. Regards, Dave.

いいよねーこの時代の歌

Walk away, please go Before you throw your life away A life that I could share for just a day We should have met some years ago For your sake I say Walk away, just go Walk away, and live A life that's full With no regret Don't look back at me Just try to forget Why build a dream that cannot come true So be strong, reach the stars now Walk away, walk on If I heard your voice I'd beg you to stay So don't say a word Just run, run away Goodbye my love My tears will fall Now that you've gone I can't help but cry But I must go on I'm sad that I have, after searching so long You, I love you, but told you Walk away, walk on, walk on

Matt was the best singer of all time his voice was so polished no leap holes no one could have sing this song any better the only person that might probably come close was Nat King Cole

great help from the backing strings

wonderful cover version of the Udo Jürgens song "warum nur, warum?"

Reminds me of a sad time in my youth but what a song! Matt Monroe and Judith Durham.........were to me perfection.

Matt Monro is at the top with Andy Williams & Frank Sinatra
