I absolutely adore this arrangement! As Tom Finn said, we still play it because we still love it. The weekend after my brother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, after the shock and tears, he hollered out, "Enough of this sad stuff! Let's play some music! Out came his guitar, and this was the first song he played.
I first heard this as just audio, no video . . . and I thought it was Melanie ("Brand New Key", "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain). That it's Cyndi Lauper . . . Wow.
OMG!i didn't even recognise his name! Smacking myself in the head! Peter Kingsley from Cock Robin!!! OMG, I've loved this guy for years, well, his singing that is. Can't believe I didn't know about this.
What ? Peter Kingsberry not following Renee back home? Not even when her defenses are down and she's in desperate need of a companion? What about the promise he made? I thought he was on her side?
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. Whether done by the Left Banke, The Four tops, Southside Johnny, Cyndi Lauper or several others. Either version of " You won't see me follow you back home" works well.
