W- Walk Away. The simplicity of this song is striking. It is a man with a unique and forlorn vocal instrument narrating a tale about the end of a relationship. The sparse guitar accompaniment gives the song the appropriately empty feeling. The song is honest, and heartbreakingly true. “It’s so hard to do, and so easy to say. But sometimes, sometimes, you just have to walk away…”
They say time will make all this go away. But it’s time that has taken my tomorrows and turned them into yesterdays…
Ben Harper, “Walk Away,” Welcome to the Cruel World, 1994
