That's true. I've just discovered him and Talk Talk this year, first in life. His songs are the most beautiful I could ever hear. Especially Living in another world to you. That is culmination of music and song's beauty in my life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I read an interview with Mark Hollis in which he was asked about this song. Renee was a girl he was fond of while they were in school. She got involved with a wealthy man quite a bit older than herself and she dropped all of her friends (and ambitions) to go live with him. About 10 years later the old guy dumped her for another woman ("Yeah, that's the game"). The song is a lament for all she lost.
Someone asked me "What kind of music does he sing?". I couldn't answer. Mark Hollis was in his own genre, one he created and so far as I know had no name. I said "He sang emotional music and then he walked away from it all."
More than his music I admired his devotion to his family. He created a unique and passionate body of life work. He then chose what mattered to him most- his family - not being a pop star and have the life drained out of him like so many others. A real soul with a real heart can only make music with this kind of depth. Thank you for the best music, RIP Mark.
Exactly what I wrote about another live track with our genius shy Mark...Too high Emotional Quotient, too brainy but humble, I bow to his life , bound to die of cancer because he deserved better than this rotten world ...his voice shall écho in my mourning soul till death. I ve read all his rare interviews , biographies but YOUR COMMENT IS THE BEST I VE EVER READ HERE. Renée seen live in 1986 still makes me cry rivers, greetings from France
He puts so much emotion into a live performance. It's a ridiculous crime they weren't around longer. I know it was Hollis' decision to retire, and he deserved/s to be happy, but boy did the fates play a cruel trick on mankind when he decided to bow out after so few years doing what he was clearly born to do. I suppose I should just be grateful for the body of work that exists. I am, you know. (UA-cam is a blessing for those of us who never got to see these guys live; Long Live Internet Neutrality!)
"Renée" is a beautiful song and Mark sings it in a heartbreaking way. What a wonderful musical instrument its vocal cords! And then he was so beautiful...and I think he didn't knew, (or maybe he didn't care.)
Mary Luna the 80s were full of bands that were very much into fashion and appearance. I don't think Mark did care about that stuff. He would have been better suited to the '90s, I think. He was certainly "grunge" before it was cool. But beautiful, yes. In all his chameleon-like incarnations. (I admit to thinking he was at his most darling around the release of It's My Life (the album), but then, I've always preferred shorter hair on men.)
Mary Luna Also this is one of my favorite songs. I identify with it on a lot of levels. It's like that one love you have, who shows up every now and then but doesn't mean it, and still you wait and years pass, and he keeps you hanging on by popping up just when you might be moving on. This is like an apology from that one man, who, in reality, would likely never say those words. As if he knew what he was doing and was truly sorry for it. (I hope that makes some kind of sense...). I've been Renee. I was that girl for years. Wasted years...
Mindy Su There is a Renee in every woman who wastes her time devoting herself to a man who gives her only crumbs, and doesn’t notice who really wants to love her, waiting patiently for her to understand it. "My" Renee opened her eyes too late, and that one man who deserved attention was tired of spending years waiting. And he was gone.
Mary Luna I can't even count how many decent guys MY Renee likely blinded me to. Now I just live with cats. C'est la vie. (BTW, I think my FB account deleted itself. Can that happen??)
The best voice in history. I've only just started listening to TT again nearly three years after Mark's death. I found it impossible to listen. The music of my youth
this band and mark Hollis are what music should always be about, they didnt care about there image or how many teen mags they could get into, it shows in the passion of there songs. Thats why i still get excited to hear there music to this day.
Talk Talk was simply the best UK band ever! And Mark Hollis was simply the best song writer that ever came out of the UK EVER! NO competition in the 1980's or since!
Talk Talk - im Jahr 1986 kaufte ich mir von meinem kleinen Taschengeld die erste LP meines Lebens. Was hat man nicht alles gehört, in den darauffolgenden mehr als 30 Jahren und wieviel hat man davon vergessen. Diese Band bleibt deutlich in Erinnerung.
La sua scomparsa, il sapere che non è più fisicamente con noi in questo mondo è una mancanza che sento anch’io, come forse per nessun altro artista che pur ho amato e amo. Sarà per la bellezza e purezza della sua anima, che si aggiunge all’enormità e classe dell’artista.
I first saw this band open for Elvis Costello sometime in the 80s. Bought their 1st album and now own everything Talk Talk recorded and Mark's solo album as well.
Talk talk, one of the greatest bands of all time. Thanks for sharing this sublime liveversion of Renee. Hollis and the band are on fire asnd on stage to deliver. What a performance. Brilliant stuff
hi Mark Hollis, beautiful human being, intelligent, sensitive, with a vision beyond the usual, songwriter, musician, lead singer of the most amazing band he brought to life in the 80's, the talent of Lee Harris, and Paul Webb gave a special musical touch to the band TalkTalk Miss everyone in the band.🙏🙌
Es una verdadera lástima que hemos perdido a nuestro estimado vocalista, arte lo que hacía a decir verdad, siempre lo vamos a tener vivo en nuestros corazones.
This can't be 1993. Talk Talk performed their last concert in 1986.
Saw them live in 1984 and 1986 in Utrecht Vredenburg, front row. Best concerts of all time
How I envy you! My kingdom for a time machine.
Mark is the strongest most emotional performer i´v ever heard. And that voice is just devine!
He is.
That's true. I've just discovered him and Talk Talk this year, first in life. His songs are the most beautiful I could ever hear. Especially Living in another world to you. That is culmination of music and song's beauty in my life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Genius, the world didn't change him, he changed the world. Thanks for your short time with us.
Richard, what a beautiful sentiment! Yes, he was a genius. 😢
Trying to find words to express, you’ve saved me the angst.
Beautifully put and honestly true xxxxxxx

Hey, Thanks for enhancing my appreciation of this song. It's my favourite Talk Talk song. What a sad, sad tale it portrays. R.I.P. Mark Hollis.
He is amazing... When i see and listen him i feel my soul is burning... The man with beautiful mind and soul
Indeed
Unique almost from heaven
The sunglasses and hair style not too bad, either ;)
cool
Perfection
Someone asked me "What kind of music does he sing?". I couldn't answer. Mark Hollis was in his own genre, one he created and so far as I know had no name. I said "He sang emotional music and then he walked away from it all."
caribman10 It's a huge barometer for me. If you get this, you get me.
he walked away because the touring was takeing its tole on his marriage so he left it all to save his marriage
Tours weren't suitable with his life of husband and with children these were his own words. his style was and is always unique . RIP Mark
They don't fall into any category, just invented their own.
No one's voice ever touched my emotions so deeply as Marks did. This song still brings tears to my eyes, three years after we lost him...,(
His music was beautiful, sincere, poetic, soulful, and from his heart. His soul was caring and beautiful. He was gone way too soon.❤
The world was too gone for him
More than his music I admired his devotion to his family. He created a unique and passionate body of life work. He then chose what mattered to him most- his family - not being a pop star and have the life drained out of him like so many others. A real soul with a real heart can only make music with this kind of depth. Thank you for the best music, RIP Mark.
My thoughts exactly, respect to him for putting family first.

Warum, ist er tot?
weil er gestorben ist. @@marcoschmittner1006
He reallt stopped because he found out he had cancer which killed him.
Talk Talk broke up in 1991. The clip is of their set-closer from the November 1984 Rock Pop in Concert show in Dortmund.
Thanks for the clarification, we knew it couldn't be from '93
I adore this song so soft and melodious. This complaint goes right to my heart. My God What a beauty in his expression ! Greatness !

Mark said in 86 that Renee was one of his favourites ♥
His absolute favourite!
So satisfying to see a live performance not dubbed or lipsyched.
Dep troyt orrall.!!?? Dyktig Dell. () thereven 67
Nobody has a voice like mark nobody rest in peace genius
this was one of those epic moments in rock history
Come non innamorarsi di questa genialità ❤
Old and lucky enough to love the sound of Talk Talk and Mark Hollis back in the 80's. That particular song makes you shiver. Truly beautiful.
This is without a doubt my favourite song. I do hope that Younger generations rediscover Talk Talk.
Økningen heva mìtte som þravlig!! Tereven 6
The best voice in history. I've only just started listening to TT again nearly three years after Mark's death. I found it impossible to listen. The music of my youth
THIS IS 1984!
4.28 ........PASSION + SOUL + THE VOICE of MARK HOLLIS = GENIUS
By any measure, this is a fantastic song, I never tire of hearing it. Mark Hollis had a very special voice, and what a great song writer ❤️
I couldn't love this song anymore...it's truly beautiful!!
this band and mark Hollis are what music should always be about, they didnt care about there image or how many teen mags they could get into, it shows in the passion of there songs. Thats why i still get excited to hear there music to this day.
their
La chanson que j ai le plus entendu dans ma vie, tellement prenante et incroyablement mélancolique.
Talk Talk was simply the best UK band ever! And Mark Hollis was simply the best song writer that ever came out of the UK EVER! NO competition in the 1980's or since!
Unbelievable outstanding performance. What a beautiful voice...
masterpiece
...one of the best Voices we ever had on this World!
Unbelievable Sound from Mark!
One of best front men u will ever see
A frontman ??? I don't think so . He was more a shy poet and wonderful musician . But the best, for sure, he was and stay .....
He was a frontman for Talk Talk obviously, poet yes, shy yes, but still a frontman.@@jimvilain8420
Rest Peacefully you beautiful soul ❤❤❤
Talk Talk is one of the best bands of all time, Mark Hollis is phenomenal on vocals, it's a shame he left us early.
Csodálatos Mark, hang, zene, minden tiszteletem, óriási tehetség, sosem feledlek, örökké itt maradsz. 💔🖤💔💔💔💔💔
Mark sei un angelo ...ti prego torna sulla terra
Wonderful, beautiful music, Wonderful legend 💔🦋💔🦋💔🦋💔
senza parole. bellissima canzone
04:03 That banshee wail out of nowhere speaks volumes.
This is from the Its My Life tour in 1984. They never played live after 1986.
no spirit of eden tour ?
@@XanAxDdu no - he said in interview they would need way too many people on stage to play all the different sounds!
@@XanAxDdu No, The colour of spring tour was their last
No concert at Montreux in 1993 ?
You are wrong. Their last concert was in 1986 (I think it was in Salamanca but I am not sure about it).
De las mejores baladas románticas de la historia de la música popular, los seguidores de Talk Talk merecemos otro disco de estos adelantados.
Miss him so much.
It takes my heart... deeply and forever
Talk Talk - im Jahr 1986 kaufte ich mir von meinem kleinen Taschengeld die erste LP meines Lebens. Was hat man nicht alles gehört, in den darauffolgenden mehr als 30 Jahren und wieviel hat man davon vergessen. Diese Band bleibt deutlich in Erinnerung.
oh ja, wie recht Du hast...und wie viele Menschen diese Musik noch entdecken werden. Das ist ein Stück Leben.

Lost so many freinds I relate this song to. Whenever I hear it I'm in tears..
Quanto mi manchi Mark ...
La sua scomparsa, il sapere che non è più fisicamente con noi in questo mondo è una mancanza che sento anch’io, come forse per nessun altro artista che pur ho amato e amo. Sarà per la bellezza e purezza della sua anima, che si aggiunge all’enormità e classe dell’artista.
sus justos su forma tan elegante de cantar mu amor mark
Sublime...
I first saw this band open for Elvis Costello sometime in the 80s. Bought their 1st album and now own everything Talk Talk recorded and Mark's solo album as well.
