- Hi, I'm RENE! Thank you so much for watching my cover of Never My Love. This is the fifth week in my summer series, Singing through the Decades!
This beautiful song, written by the Addrisi Brothers and recorded (and most known by) The Association, is a '60s classic, having so many incredible elements that were present in that time period. With this version of the song, The Association recorded with members of The Wrecking Crew, who were a group of several session musicians hired to provide back up instrumentals to recording artists.
The song itself was a bit of a surprise for fans of the septet, mostly because the band was known for singing 'happy-go-lucky' songs. 'Never My Love' held a melancholy weight that wasn't found in much of their other music. However, that didn't matter, as the boys did such a masterful job at showing the pain and the beauty of the words in this piece of art. At the time of release, the song had reached #1 on Canada RPM Top Singles, New Zealand (Listener), US Cash Box Top 100, and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100! Even to this day, it is a loved song and is truly a timeless classic.
Personally, this song was the reason I started this project, Singing through the decades. When I first heard it, some months back, I was fascinated by it. It was unlike anything I'd ever heard, mostly because the lyrics felt so heavy but the music itself was actually quite light. Because of that, one thing led to another and I decided to do this project, which I'm so happy I did. I hope you enjoyed my rendition of it. Thank you again so much for coming with me on this journey.

(Arrangement, voice, violin, and piano were all done by me! No external tracks were used in the making of this video.)
A little about me: I graduated from Jacobs School of Music with a violin performance degree and also studied voice while I was there. When the pandemic struck, and I had to leave the school, music became a sort of life-line for me. Even though I had been shy of making any of my music public before, I realized (through many other musical artists) that this had become something that I could hold on to and use to bring joy into peoples lives. I'm excited to continue to do that here, in whatever capacity I can.

Sometimes I think the mechanism that hands out talent gets stuck and it just keeps piling it on an individual. Like this!
This might be the most creative comment I’ve ever received 😂❤️ Thank you so so much! That means a lot!
Holy cow. Really good cover. Instantly enthralled when your voice kicked in for the first verse. Thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing that comment! I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
How can you only have 59 followers? You're way too good for that. Do you stream on Twitch ever?
Oh my word, thank you so much! I really appreciate that! I don’t currently, but that is something I might consider doing in the future!
@@RENEmmusic A lot of musicians do it. Whether it's a good use of your time depends, but, yeah, consider it. I'm not sure I'm using the correct terminology but you seem to have a lot of control of your voice.
Amazing! 💐
Thank you so much!!
beautiful voice
Thank you so much!❤️
Wow , Your Voice 🤩
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it!!❤️
René i dont mean to hurt your feelings, by the way that was a lovely interpretation of Never My Love, i thought you were RENE of Calle 13 and was curious to hear him singing that song. Good Luck !
Lol that doesn’t hurt my feelings at all! I’ve been in that situation before, so I totally get it!
Thank you anyways!
Very nice
Thank you so much! So happy you enjoyed it!❤️
I’ve been looking for a great cover for this beautiful song, and this was lovely. Sometimes the original is just too moldy oldie! It needs redone.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it! It was fun reworking the song to be just a touch different!
I’m hoping to do some more covers in a similar way soon!
Nice
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
A great song you've done justice. Keep up the great work! Hey check out the album- *Reba Rambo - Songs My Mama Taught Me" [. Of course 'Mama' is referencing Nashville Royalty, Dottie Rambo. The matriarch of The Rambos. Dottie wrote over 2500 songs and is in the Song Writers Hall Of Fame. There really needs to be a biopic about her.
Thank you so much!! I definitely will check that out, thank you for the recommendation!
When she got to her first " on you.....," she could've suggested we elope in Vegas and I would've gone.
