Should listen to some of the other covers he does. He does a Great job. Brings out the lyrics in the songs. And the emotions, it's like he feels the songs.
Sir, your version of this song gives me complete Johnny Cash covering Hurt by Nine Inch Nails vibes. A completely different, yet very unique sound to it. Love the cover
hey frank, here in brazil it's 6 am so straight from brazil GOOD MORNING, and nothing beats having a nice cup of coffee with a new video. Lately depression has taken over me, your videos are one of the only things that genuinely still make me want to get out of bed and grab the remote and press play !!!
literally crying one of my fav a7x song and ive never heard such a masterpiece version. its not a better or worse than original. It is just hits absolutley different
No words can convey my appreciation for this man and his incredible sharing of music, that spans so many genres, rendered new and personal through Frank’s authentic and honest lens… Bravo.
Never feared for anything Never shamed but never free A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could Lived a life so endlessly Saw beyond what others see I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could Will you stay? Will you stay away forever? How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Plans of what our futures hold Foolish lies of growing old It seems we're so invincible The truth is so cold A final song, a last request A perfect chapter laid to rest Now and then I try to find A place in my mind Where you can stay You can stay away forever How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind I have so much to say but you're so far away Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid) The ones that we love are here with me Lay away a place for me (place for me) 'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way To live eternally How do I live without the ones I love? Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned Place and time always on my mind And the light you left remains But it's so hard to stay When I have so much to say and you're so far away I love you, you were ready The pain is strong and urges rise But I'll see you, when He lets me Your pain is gone, your hands untied So far away (so far) And I need you to know So far away (so far) And I need you to, need you to know
Im a big fan of Avenged Sevenfold since 2009. This song hurts very bad, tribute to greatest drummer of his era and their great friend who killed himself 14 years ago. Beautiful version, thank You sir.
Thank you Frank for this masterpiece..my youngest son showed me some Avenged sevenfold years ago, I really like them. Now I listen to them quite often. Amazing job on this my friend..😊 Give Marshall a hug. Much Love from Ohio ❤
I love to see older men give new age rock a chance. I see the emotion and hear the emotion. As if this man is alone or has lost loved ones. God bless u.
These all sound like Johnny Cash's cover of hurt, and it reminds me of a guy a knew. He was an older guy that I went to church with, and he passed away yesterday. I'm not ready to go on without him. Thank you brother.
So beautiful to wake up to! Brilliant cover of one of my favorite bands by one of my favorite cover artists! You're such a gift, my friend. Thank you for all the beauty you put into this world.
I was surprised to see this song pop up on your channel. I'm gonna cry, you did such a good cover on this song. Avenged Sevenfold are my favourite band. Much love gramps!
Hey Frank! I missed your voice. Haven't been able to hear you for quite awhile. Glad I'm able to go back in the virtual world. Hope you're doing good. Stay healthy and thank you for your songs. I just recently loss my dad due to cancer. I miss him terribly. Again, thanks for your music 🎶
This cover was truly beautiful, I am always amazed at your voice.. Again, I feel so lucky to hear your voice and your guitar skills..Thnks for blessing us with this cover Frank... I hope you had a lovely easter weekend...
My childhood friend was murdered by a policeman and we listened to this song. He was a lawyer and was defending the policeman's ex-wife. It was a crime of passion. Listening to you sing it brought tears and many memories to my mind. Life is unfair and meaningless.
Frank, this song has a very deep rooted connection to me and my life, in a very bittersweet sort of way. And to hammer on that poignancy that this song holds for me, who better than you to sing a most moving rendition of it? Thank you Frank, love you.
I couldn't count how many times I've heard "So Far Away," but I don't think I've ever really listened to the lyrics until now. Absolutely beautiful cover. ❤
I feel like there is a heart breaking story behind all that emotion, though I hope not, but being a musician myself, I found you only get that kind of emotion from experience
Oh, Frank ❤ this song is beautiful and heartbreaking and your version is just as emotional as the original... you truly have a gift, thank you for sharing it with the world!
Such an emotional version of this song. Very special. I love it.
It's already such an emotional song.
I love this guy.
When this song came out, me and my buddy (both drummers) cried like babies and listened to this on repeat mourning the death of The Rev.
Really makes me imagine if Johnny Cash wrote so far away. This would be it.
As a lifelong Metalhead, i dig this.
Great version!
Should listen to some of the other covers he does. He does a Great job. Brings out the lyrics in the songs. And the emotions, it's like he feels the songs.
@@LearningCurves123 definitely!
i found him when he released the cover of Slipknot's Snuff. (one of my all time favorite songs)
Same here. I'm lifelong metalhead as well. This guy is the real deal. Man, if we could get an album by this guy🙏
I believe someone is reading this and he/she will make an AI Cover of Johnny Cash playing this song 🦕
Sir, your version of this song gives me complete Johnny Cash covering Hurt by Nine Inch Nails vibes. A completely different, yet very unique sound to it. Love the cover
The fact that its an older gentleman singing this changes ths meaning of the lyrics and nature of the song. I love it ❤
RIP Jimmy Sullivan. Thank you for inspiring me to learn drums. Amazing cover.
I truly believe He is adding years to His life by uploading these masterpieces.
God knows we need this gentle man. I just found his channel and I feel blessed because I understand him and it's helping me through my hard trial's
Someone please give this man an award.

literally crying
one of my fav a7x song and ive never heard such a masterpiece version.
its not a better or worse than original. It is just hits absolutley different
and this is why i like to see oldman singing, so much soul into it, experienced really make total differences to get into the heart of the song
No words can convey my appreciation for this man and his incredible sharing of music, that spans so many genres, rendered new and personal through Frank’s authentic and honest lens…
Bravo.
I love both versions. Kind of reminds of what Johny Cash did with the song hurt. You took this song and made it personal to you, I'm glad you're here.
Man, this guy is just stellar. Almost everything he plays, I end up loving. Where's he been hiding?
Such an amazing song, even better with your touch. What a great way to wake up- you moved me to tears - again.
Thanks Frank ❤
Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (place for me)
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains
But it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you, when He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away (so far)
And I need you to know
So far away (so far)
And I need you to, need you to know
We're super blessed to have you in our lives, and we're so appreciative of all that you do and bring to the platform. Bang up job, Frank.

I love to see older men give new age rock a chance. I see the emotion and hear the emotion. As if this man is alone or has lost loved ones. God bless u.
