Cast have to be one of the most underrated bands of the 90’s. They rarely ever get a mention but their songs have stood the test of time more so than some of the bigger names.
Mate stop it with the underrated crap. If they were bigger and caught more people's attention then they would be as big as Oasis but they're not for a reason. They are rated perfectly you 🤡
My dad never really liked any of the music I was into growing up until this song came on the radio as he was driving me home from footie practice. I was singing along and he said, that’s a beautiful song. We used to play it all the time. He’s on end of life treatment now. Lost his use of speech of which he was so eloquent, he’s had enough and has ever since my mother passed a little over a year ago, he’s almost 80, he’s had a great life, seen the world and done so much, but he’s ready to walkaway!!! This song used to remind me of breakups now it just fits my dad so perfectly. I love this song so much ❤
That's what music is for and everytime you hear this song you can remember your lovely dad and smile! I do it everytime I hear unchained melody by the riteous brothers which my nan used sing to me always makes me cry but I never turn it off
The BBC played this in a montage just minutes after England were knocked out by Germany on penalties during Euro 96….it still breaks my heart every time I hear it.
I always thought if was The BBC, some on here say ITV. Can't be bothered arguing, but that night still remains with me. Shearers 3rd minute goal, Gaza lung, Anderson hit posts, disallowed goal for Germany, then penalties. I think this has been the best Engla d squad for decades.
I watched the semi final at my local in Stretford Manchester, I was at the other semi final at Old Trafford between France & Czech Republic, I was going to watch both at the pub, when I saw an arieal view of Old Trafford, it looked empty, so I finished my pint and caught a tram to OT, I bought a ticket for £10 from a tout outside Lancashire CCC and got in just as the national anthems were being played....It was the most boring forgettable games I've ever seen, 0-0 after extra time, Czech Republic winning on penalties, I walked back to the pub just as the national anthems were being played at Wembley, one of the most thrilling games I've ever seen, gutted at the end, it's funny how I hardly remember anything about a game I actually went to, and remember everything I saw on TV that night.
Aged 60 here now and walked away from so many things in my lifetime, jobs, relationships and my mad clubbing years etc.. but have finally found my peace. Love this tune ❤
Saw Cast play this at Victorious Festival a couple of weekends ago and only remembered as the tears rolled down my face that this song has always made me cry.
Best song of the 90's by a country mile!!!! If John Lennon had written this it would have been regarded as a masterpiece. Lovely guitar work by Liam Tyson, very underated player.
MARSBELLA1 It's not a dig at John Lennon, far from it. Just saying Walkaway doesn't get the respect it deserves, just like John Power doesn't. Top notch song writer and a top notch band.
North west has a load of talent, but then so does all of the UK, up there with the best of the best. Proud 🏴🇬🇧 Manny and Liverpool got some of the best talent on show.
I miss these days so so much . Music was everything to us then. This group was one of our top five as kids ... We were so lucky to live through this period . Absolute magic 💕
used to play this beautiful song in a flat in London in the mid 90s. listening to this always takes me back to those days though I'm now literally half a world away.
Remember seeing these guys at Knebworth, Sunday, August 11th 1996 Dreadzone, Kula Shaker, Cast, The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers and Oasis. It doesn’t get any better than that and it makes me sad we’ll never get that again. I still have the memories though. Simply beautiful tune!
Remember this after we lost on penalties to Germany in euro 96,I was 21 then and the world was a invitation to grow. 46 now and just ground down by life,that was a great summer. I wish I still felt that optimism about everything.
Such a beautiful song and very nostalgic for a lot of people. Transports you right back to the BritPop era of music. So many fantastic bands have come and gone, and many deserve far more recognition. If we had the technology we have now back then many of these bands would be far more popular.
This reaches the heart! One of my favorite songs of all my life, I would like to give a hug to John Powers for composing this and for being part of The La's. greetings from Argentina.
This song always takes me back to Euro 96 when England got knocked out by the Germans on penalties 😕 one of the broadcasters used this song in a video montage as Terry Venables was walking down the tunnel.
2024 born in 1997 26yo atm and loved this music all of my life but today this hits harder than ever before been through such a dark time recently but at least I feel something towards this song
Watched them perform this on V96 festival in Warrington on what must've been one of the hottest days of the year,the right group at the right time with the right song, pure poetry
One of my all time favourite songs. An important message at certain points & circumstances in my life, and probably everyone's. Walk away. Why put yourself through it when you've done everything you can? Find an environment where you feel at peace, with people who make you feel valued & whole. ❤️
So true my friend I seemed to to have spent the first 20 years of my life being used by others ....the last 34 have been good due to songs like this that teach you to stand up for yourself and not be bullied. All the best where you all are x😊
Lyrically if this song was written by Lennon and McCartney it would have been one of their most well known songs, like imagine and let it be its to the point, honest and powerful. It has a message that's universal and is relatable to anyone no matter where you're from, a legitimate classic!
This song always sticks in my head after England go out on a penalty shootout ..remember this playing after Euro 96 when we got beat..and here I am again!😔🏴
So young to produce such a beautiful and true song. Listen to this over and over on dog walks on the beach. This song has helped me make some big decisions.
A great but truly depressing song I used to listen to when I was 16 years old. Couldn't listen to more than 20 secs because a bunch of bad feelings hit me 😔
Cast have to be one of the most underrated bands of the 90’s. They rarely ever get a mention but their songs have stood the test of time more so than some of the bigger names.
Always reminds me of Euro 96 penalty shootout 😢😢😢
I was just about to say "underrated" to my wife, about the band.
Agreed.
Mate stop it with the underrated crap. If they were bigger and caught more people's attention then they would be as big as Oasis but they're not for a reason. They are rated perfectly you 🤡
I still occasionally listen. A good band, I think. I was surprised they weren't a bit bigger.
My dad never really liked any of the music I was into growing up until this song came on the radio as he was driving me home from footie practice.
I was singing along and he said, that’s a beautiful song.
We used to play it all the time.
He’s on end of life treatment now.
Lost his use of speech of which he was so eloquent, he’s had enough and has ever since my mother passed a little over a year ago, he’s almost 80, he’s had a great life, seen the world and done so much, but he’s ready to walkaway!!!
This song used to remind me of breakups now it just fits my dad so perfectly.
I love this song so much ❤
Nice, best wishes
My father in law said. Miss me but let me go.
Yeah, OK.
That's what music is for and everytime you hear this song you can remember your lovely dad and smile! I do it everytime I hear unchained melody by the riteous brothers which my nan used sing to me always makes me cry but I never turn it off
God bless your Dad
This is going to be played at my funeral
I miss the 90s so much. Life was so much better back then.
Morph 1981 the last decade before globalisation and capitalism truly kicked in and made one selfish world.
Morph 1981 me too 🙌🎶🎤🎸💗
+adam c it kicked it in in 1913 these tunes are the hangover.
It just feels like it was. Love life in any decade!
best years ever,even the cops were cool!,,,hot sunny days and lots of happy well off people!!!!now nothing and everything closing in?
Hands up if you are still listening to this timeless classic. X :)
Chloe Delores everytine I have a beer I play this first
I'm always here ❤️❤️
Chloe Delores quality!
yep hands skyward classic tuney.
Yes and going to see them on Saturday 🇦🇺👍
90s aesthetics feel like another world now, a world that was within reach but now has slipped away for good. Will always miss you 90s ❤
Nostalgia
amen to that...
I guess every generation says that but there was something so free about it
@@ahar7624 Yep
It was the only time in my whole life that I felt genuine hope for the human race. Look at the state of things 30 years later. I despair now.
Holy shit, just discovered this song, it’s amazing,
Gone through divorce and she took everything that meant anything to me, ie kids this song sums it up for me, time to walk away and rebuild
Stay strong Dave !!
And you'll do it mate like I did in 2013. Trust me.
Stay strong mate...
Jesus Dave , I hope you all the best mate ,
I’m 12 months on pal trust me it gets better
This song along with many others is the reason why the 1990's was the last real decade of humanity.
Dude, this comment is more true than ever in 2024. 👏🏻👊🏼
Decade of my life, last time anything felt good in this world.
2000’s have been a complete shit show
This song is criminally underrated, definitely one of the top songs of the 90s.
Underrated by who?
It was hugely successful.
One of the best songs of the 90,s 😍😍😍
Feeling low about something in my personal life and just needed this song. It just has the vibe. Perfect song for a glum mood. Love this band.
Hope things improve. Been coming back to this track for so many years now.
The BBC played this in a montage just minutes after England were knocked out by Germany on penalties during Euro 96….it still breaks my heart every time I hear it.
One of many heartbreaking moments for England fans. One day we'll make it to the promised land!
I always thought if was The BBC, some on here say ITV. Can't be bothered arguing, but that night still remains with me. Shearers 3rd minute goal, Gaza lung, Anderson hit posts, disallowed goal for Germany, then penalties.
I think this has been the best Engla d squad for decades.

Came here to say this. What a summer that was!
I taped the game as you did back then...😊...I've watched the end a few times since just to see the montage & hear the song. .it was the BBC...
Here 26 yrs later,still as magical as it was back then
Not only a superb song but a wise one too. Speak your mind and be yourself, always, but if you can't win... know when to quit.
FromtheHerts81 wow. Amazing
I love this
yes
yes
Silimiar
What a classic! Randomly came into my head just yesterday! Can’t believe it’s been 27 years 😢❤️🎶
Same here - I just started singing it today and searched it.
Saw him live a few months ago, still amazing
Me too, through my one year old wearing a teddy bear coat. Can't see the connection myself.
This is a masterpiece. I hear a late 60s influence in this song. Brilliant. Still sounds great 2021.
The guitar melody has a very late 60s early 70s vibe too it.
Me too!
You know what, hit the nail on the head there.
And 2023
💯%agree With you in 2023.👍
Bands from Liverpool are so melodic ❤
Great insight- you are spot on!
I agree. The scousers have a different vibe to them. Can’t put my finger on it exactly but you just know.
Such a chilled song that represents a time that was a better than now
Aged 60 here now and walked away from so many things in my lifetime, jobs, relationships and my mad clubbing years etc.. but have finally found my peace. Love this tune ❤
Silimiar
Heard this for the first time today and I was blown away. This is definetly up there with "There she goes" "Chasing Rainbows" etc
Evokes so many great memories of growing up in the 90's, John powers vocals on this are unreal
Great song ..I was 27 when it came out .... I remember it being used for the closing montage for Euro 96 on the BBC when we went out to Germany.
I remember that too mate .although I'm not England . It was a bit sad
Yeah, always reminds me of Euro 96
It was Oasis stop crying your heart out 2002 after they lost to Brazil
Saw Cast play this at Victorious Festival a couple of weekends ago and only remembered as the tears rolled down my face that this song has always made me cry.
Euro 96 😥 They played this over the outro montage after losing to Germany. I'll never forget it.
Haven't listened to this in over 20 years-sounds just as good now. A timeless, beautiful tune. Nice one John Powers
You’re not alone in that sentiment,agree 💯%.
Best song of the 90's by a country mile!!!! If John Lennon had written this it would have been regarded as a masterpiece. Lovely guitar work by Liam Tyson, very underated player.
London video. Well done.
OIH!! Leave John Alone!!
MARSBELLA1 It's not a dig at John Lennon, far from it. Just saying Walkaway doesn't get the respect it deserves, just like John Power doesn't. Top notch song writer and a top notch band.
Doesn't have the tension and release of a John Lennon song so no I don't think so
@@badgasaurus4211 it's the let it be of the 90s
I saw Cast play in I think 97 or maybe 96 at Battersea Power Station. My first concert. Such a great night and a fantastic band
Still a beautiful classic. I listened to this song when it came out, and it's still as beautiful now as it was then. ❤️
A timeless classic.
Why is there such a bottomless Well of talent that flows from Liverpool ?
Is there ?
you bet there is la.
North west has a load of talent, but then so does all of the UK, up there with the best of the best. Proud 🏴🇬🇧 Manny and Liverpool got some of the best talent on show.
Always thought they were scouse. Can tell with accent.
The 90's wasnt all crap! This is stunning! A modern masterpiece.
It was all GOOD.
Most of it was quality , but there was some shit.
Always reminds of Euro 96😢
90’s was the decade to be alive , I’ve lived through five.
There was something magical about hope back then.
This song is untouchable.. its as good as song writing gets.. it's their Masterplan, their Polly, their Yesterday..
Polly? Nirvana? Steady on. I mean, I *like* it, but mentioned in the same breath as Yesterday and The Masterplan? You must be joking.
I would say Lithium or In Bloom
@@tomclifford702easily mentionable alongside masterplan!! Yesterday is a bit much but Masterplan isn't what some seem to think it is!
One of the most important songs written in the 90s, absolute anthem - why so few views?
Correct !
TIMELESS SONG.
I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOU MATE
About the la's?
Mate if you like it why worry about everyone else?
I miss these days so so much . Music was everything to us then. This group was one of our top five as kids ... We were so lucky to live through this period . Absolute magic 💕
one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard
Loved it when it came out in the 90s and still love it in 2022 just as much.😁👍 great tune.
used to play this beautiful song in a flat in London in the mid 90s. listening to this always takes me back to those days though I'm now literally half a world away.
I'm listening during our third covid lockdown. I hope everyone is hanging in there. x
Always loved Cast, one of those underrated bands that never got the recognition they deserved. Saw them support U2 in Leeds in the 90's, epic !!!
Remember seeing these guys at Knebworth, Sunday, August 11th 1996 Dreadzone, Kula Shaker, Cast, The Charlatans, Manic Street Preachers and Oasis. It doesn’t get any better than that and it makes me sad we’ll never get that again. I still have the memories though.
Simply beautiful tune!
12 years old I was at knebworth and it shaped my teens right upon till now music for my generation
You lucky lucky bastard! What a line up! 👍
I was there that day. Absolutely epic
I was there - wonderful memories 💫
Seeing them Support Liam on the DM tour in June can't wait 🙌
Sometimes we have to walk away from people we love
Painful but best for the mind longterm
Remember this after we lost on penalties to Germany in euro 96,I was 21 then and the world was a invitation to grow.
46 now and just ground down by life,that was a great summer.
I wish I still felt that optimism about everything.
Same age mate, feel same sentiment.
Yeah, remember that. Kuntz. 😂.
The 90s was definitely the best. First rave then indie loved it.
Heard "Fine Time" on the radio at work today & had forgotten just how good Cast were. Love the 90's Brit Pop.
Completely forgot this absolute banger until tonight. England vs Germany 2-0 29/06/21. Come on the lads. BRING IT HOME!
Same, hadn't heard it in forever!
One of the best songs ever ever ever
What a song, it just epitomises the 90s but was sadly overshadowed by songs from Oasis and Blur at the time.
Seriously? 17 folk don’t like this? One of the best songs and tunes ever.
It's absolute shite. It makes me cringe when I hear it.
@@neilaspin008 yet you bother commenting twice?
Great song! British music is the best.
Such a beautiful song and very nostalgic for a lot of people. Transports you right back to the BritPop era of music. So many fantastic bands have come and gone, and many deserve far more recognition. If we had the technology we have now back then many of these bands would be far more popular.
I’ve been loving this song since it’s release in the 90’s, and in June 2021 it still does the same to me today as it did back then....😎🎼😎🎼
This reaches the heart! One of my favorite songs of all my life, I would like to give a hug to John Powers for composing this and for being part of The La's. greetings from Argentina.
19, Vauxhall Nova, this song on loud... ah they were the days.
Cavalier man here 😂
27 years? Fuck me... most underrated band ever
One of the Best and Forgotten British Bands and songs. Thank You MTV for this song! Greetings from Slovakia !!!
This song always takes me back to Euro 96 when England got knocked out by the Germans on penalties 😕 one of the broadcasters used this song in a video montage as Terry Venables was walking down the tunnel.
I didn't realise that Zuckerberg had such brilliant voice!
2024 born in 1997 26yo atm and loved this music all of my life but today this hits harder than ever before been through such a dark time recently but at least I feel something towards this song
Says it all this song
One of my all time favourite songs and I've been listening to music since the 60's.
Watched them perform this on V96 festival in Warrington on what must've been one of the hottest days of the year,the right group at the right time with the right song, pure poetry
An unbelievably Awesome classic anthem. Says so much both vocally and emotionally. Thank You guys for a supreme track. Means alot.
euro 96!
What a tune,I neverreally liked cast at first, but how I was wrong.
Having this at my funeral. Just a classic
One of the best gigs I ever went to was to see Cast , John power is a class act.
Aw Cast were excellent , beautiful songs ❤
I play this as a memory had a lot of torment of the Derbyshire police and high Peak council this tune says it all big thank
One of my all time favourite songs. An important message at certain points & circumstances in my life, and probably everyone's.
Walk away. Why put yourself through it when you've done everything you can? Find an environment where you feel at peace, with people who make you feel valued & whole. ❤️
So true my friend I seemed to to have spent the first 20 years of my life being used by others ....the last 34 have been good due to songs like this that teach you to stand up for yourself and not be bullied. All the best where you all are x😊
a masterpiece of a song- j.power and cast, respect and thanks.
Probably one of the most sonically beautiful records put on tape.
One of the greatest bands of my time!
Whose still paying homage to this classic in 2021?
Me! Love this song! It's timeless. 😊
Saw John power a few months back, was amazing , took me back a few years.
John has a haunting voice brilliant lads the best of British.
This is such an anthem of the 90s Britpop era. As good as anything that came out the 1960s.
That's a bit of a bold statement mate but sure this song is a masterpiece
Beautiful song. Fantastic singer and great band. Well done lads. 🇮🇪
This a great song, 90's was great, clothes, music and new labour.
White Britain.
Taught me loads this tune save many battles and stress.
Love Cast,this in my opinion is there best track absolutely love it🎉🎉
One of the finest songs written in the last 40 years, easily the best one of the Brit Pop era.
Oh my... I have this song stuck in my head right now. Its just going round and round. Fu***** genius.
With music this good it makes me want the 90s back.
Dont believe in the afterlife but this is the song i want sung at my funeral.
Seeing them suport Liam in June for the DM tour in London can't wait 🙌
Absolute nostalgia.
This song is ten fold better than I remember it as a kid. Really gorgeous, went over my head at the time.
PLAY THIS SONG AT MY FUNERAL.....VERY LOUD....
I don't think anyone would be walking away until after the wake drinks and the reading of the will.
Pure ego
2021 WALKAWAYYYY ✌🏻
My brother loved this song and the band he died suddenly at his funeral last Friday we played this as his final song so perfect RIP Anthony 💖
Still makes me happy almost 30y later .... ☺
Lyrically if this song was written by Lennon and McCartney it would have been one of their most well known songs, like imagine and let it be its to the point, honest and powerful. It has a message that's universal and is relatable to anyone no matter where you're from, a legitimate classic!
Perfectly said, I couldn't agree more
To me it has a definitely Mersey sound, I had thought it was someone like Jerry and the Pacemakers.
This song always sticks in my head after England go out on a penalty shootout ..remember this playing after Euro 96 when we got beat..and here I am again!😔🏴
So young to produce such a beautiful and true song. Listen to this over and over on dog walks on the beach. This song has helped me make some big decisions.
This song needs more views … kids today need educating on great music!
From Manchester
Have to say great band bk in the day ❤
A band that deserves so much more recognition
class!
still class!
Reminds me so much, of the heartache of
Euro 96..
2020 and it still sounds quality 👌
A great but truly depressing song I used to listen to when I was 16 years old. Couldn't listen to more than 20 secs because a bunch of bad feelings hit me 😔
