I went to their concert last night with my dad and it was amazing. I just lost my Nana two months ago and I was not prepared for him to play this but it was so beautiful and even though I cried my dad was there and it felt like it was just for my nana in that moment. In memory of Shelly 1959-2023
The original is like pain when it first hits. You are pissed off at the world and just want it to end. This is like the feeling of knowing that even though the hurt is still there, things are going to be fine, even if things will never be the same again. Full circle.
I frequently come to this comment section to read this comment. @gwarriorfromhell, you're a wordsmith. I lost my mother 9 years ago when I was 21. The original was always there for me, from the time I was a little guy. When my mom passed, I leaned on it pretty hard through the anger stage. This one allows me to feel at peace with my grief. Your comment has also brought me a peace and unique understanding of this tune I didn't have before.
Well. It feels more like a potential goodbye song from them. And if The Offspring were to ever end retire or die, I want THIS to be their final song ever.
Gettin horrible vibes from this. Why tf every artist thinking this auto tone shi sounds good ???? If you can't sing anymore then don't return with this garbage. This is a big dump stain on their catalog ! 🙄 Shame
I have been an Offspring fan since I was a young kid. My first cassette was their SMASH album. I lost my dad in 2007, and now my mom a few months ago. This song will always hold a special place in my heart.
My dads mom passed in December 2019 and my moms mom died in November 2022. I was sad so I was listening to old music from my childhood and the offspring popped up so I eventually it lead me to this beautiful song and ever since if I start to think about them both I’ll get on here and listen to this song probably 6 times in a row and cry like a fucking baby. I miss them both and I’m glad one of my favorite bands can help me heal. Thank you THE OFFSPRING!
The original 1997 version is beautiful, HOWEVER this version stripped down to bare bones, brings a whole new pain, anguish, and sadness to the lyrics making this much more powerful. The RAWNESS and vulnerability of this makes getting emotional, shedding tears and letting pain easier. THANK YOU for both versions of the song. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dexter and Doug from The Offspring wrote it 23 years ago.. it's a shame because too many people believe that Five Finger Death punch wrote it. They just covered it
This song, and the original version, brings back memories of a girl I liked at work. We were close, but I never told her how I felt. One day we said goodnight and the next morning she was killed in a freak car accident backing out of her driveway. Was almost 50 years ago and it feels like you never forget.
I first came across this song as the Five Finger Death Punch cover version just over 3 years ago, which was 10 years after I'd lost my father. Only found out it was an Offspring song a few months later. Only found out about this stripped back offspring version today, with the search prompted by seeing The Offspring being interviewed. This and other songs being stripped back have helped me get through anniversaries, birthdays and other significant events in ways I can't put into words
I’am 34 years old, offspring was the first punk rock band when I was 9 years old.. today is one year after the death of my son. This song was used at his funeral.. I never wondering when I was nine this song will one day be a part of my life like this.. thanks to this beautiful version.this song make me cry now but help me also a lot 🖤
I lost someone I really loved along time ago when I was still young. The original more aggressive version of this song really spoke to me, it was pain, sorrow and anger. Seven years later... My heartS still broken, except the angers gone like this song. Now all thats left is the somber taste of sorrow.
This version of the song made me cry watching it live on concert because my aunt just passed away about 2 weeks ago. This is the song that I didn't knew I needed to hear, thank you so much Dexter!
Thank you for the goosebumps and tears this one caused at the concert in Brisbane five days ago. Was the most magical moment when you could hear everyones grief and pain
i lost my dog back in 2015, there isnt a day that goes by that i dont think about him and this song feels like a tribute to his soul, if i could trade i would
“The coming of the Kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say ‘Here it is’ or ‘There it is’ for the Kingdom of God is within you.”
Maybe in another life I could find you there Pulled away before your time I can't deal, it's so unfair And it feels, and it feels like Heaven's so far away And it feels, yeah, it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave Show that I still care Black roses and Hail Mary Can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would And it feels, and it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings, yeah, it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away Gone away, gone away Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh Yeah-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-yeah I'll save your soul, whoa Yeah, yeah-oh, ooh I reach to the sky And call out your name Oh, please let me trade I would And it feels, and it feels like Heaven is so far away And it feels, yeah, it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Gone away, gone away Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh Yeah-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-yeah Yeah-ooh, yeah-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-yeah
It is a pity that I cannot tell you personally, but at least I will tell you on your personal channel. Thank you for your creativity. Thank you for those wonderful days that I spent with you. Thank you for the wonderful years that I have lived with you. You and your music helped me to live in the most difficult life situations. I have been listening and admiring you since I was 10, and now I'm 34. One of the goals of my life is to attend your concert. I really hope you will come to Ukraine. Love you. You are better than anything that ever happened to punk rock. Your lifelong fan Dmitry.
I remember hearing this version at The Endless Summer Tour for the first time. Got our tickets for the TO show and look forward to hearing it again! eldest daughter and I will will be there again. Last time she couldn`t make it to work the next day....I did.
I was just going to comment same thing. I would use this version on my funeral. Buried my cousin yesterday, and played this song on my way home. OMG those feelings what i felt ;(
This one hits just as hard as the original. Dexter has so much emotion in his voice, and it has carried over years later by making a song that had so much feeling, bring up even more feeling.
Saw you guys at blossom in ohio and you played this song and it just hit me for some reason and i was holding my phone up in the sky bawling my eyes out. Ill never forget that moment. Thanks guys. ❤
I was at that show with my wife , we live in Medina and I’ve wanted to see The Offspring since 1997 when I first heard Gone Away on the Gravatron at the Ohio State Fair , I cried so hard during this song
Saw this version performed live and it was one of the most unbelievable live music events I've ever witnessed. It hit so hard and was overcome with emotion thinking of all those people who have left my life so far. Was a deeply impactful experience.
I was listening to Ixnay on the Hombre a week or so ago after discovering how much I actually like these guys' music instead of 1-2 songs, and "Gone Away" came up. Nothing too special, right? I song about losing a loved one in their style. Then came this album and I listened to it in that same week, missing something. Then, at the end of everything, came the piano rendition of that same song. 20-something years after the normal version it's still there, and I couldnt help but feel like there was a reason for it. Fucking love these guys!
I love the Offspring and have for many years! I heard this rendition for the first time four days ago and it stopped me in my tracks! 😢 Listening to the words sung like this broke me 😩
The original was personal packed full of passion, while this version makes that personal break impactful and applicable to our current situations globally. Well done Dexter! 👏
To me this one feels more personal and passionate, although not by a whole lot. The original felt too upbeat and kind of soulless (due to editing). This one still feels highly edited and not especially passionate, but I still like it a lot (and like the original)
I’ve heard this version so much that I thought I dreamed the original version existed or that it was a Mandela effect thing. I found the original again today and proved I wasn’t crazy. And you know what? This version is just BETTER!
Back in September of 2022 my wife got pregnant. We were scared as hell as this would be our second child. We decided to name the child “Oliver” Anyways we found out the little baby had passed away and my wife had to have a procedure to remove it. I couldn’t imagine her pain. The lyric of this song that gets me is, “I reach to the sky and call out your name… and if I I could trade I would.” I literally laid down in the grass during a thunderstorm and reached toward the sky and screamed out his name. It was like I was screaming to release all of my pain. It’s something I was embarrassed to admit but you know what? I loved that kid and even though he left me before he was born, he was my boy. Every day I think about how my day would be with my little boy Oliver. I miss you Oliver.

I thought it was just me that was like Donnie Darko mad world tone.
True true
Yes! I saw it live last night and got the same vibe!

The original will always be my favorite, but this version is lovely, too.
I am completly with you by that. This one is great, but the original tears me apart, plus memories of being young in the later 90ies.
согласен
Yes sure i also know the original 😁😉
afree
This one might edge out the original just a little bit for me.
This is one hell of a musical masterpiece, every version electric, acoustic, piano ,it rips your soul out
Quite right! And what is more - in every universe possible!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Been a fan of The Offspring Since I was 7 (36 now) and I'm hearing this for the first time. Beautiful
Same! I relent disobeying my father and going to an offspring concert at the palladium in worcester, ma. Crazy

“The coming of the Kingdom of God is not something that can be observed, nor will people say ‘Here it is’ or ‘There it is’ for the Kingdom of God is within you.”
i witnessed this. moving.
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels, yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
Black roses and Hail Mary
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels, and it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings, yeah, it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away, gone away
Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, ooh
Yeah-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-yeah
I'll save your soul, whoa
Yeah, yeah-oh, ooh

This version seems to be made especially for the sad and dark moments in life. Funerals for example. It's intense.
I was just going to comment same thing. I would use this version on my funeral. Buried my cousin yesterday, and played this song on my way home. OMG those feelings what i felt ;(
Execly, when one of them is gone away, this will strike like a bomb with emotion.
Why am I just now hearing this version. Wow! Awesome stuff. Offspring are legends.
I didn't know they finally released this version! It's always been my favorite!
Очень красиво и грустно. Помню как в детстве оригинал слушал с клипом вместе. Одна из тех песен которую я на гитаре выучил полностью
Gone, but wonderful memories ...🎼 🎹 🎵,🎵,🎵...👌

Wow. The strings take my breath away. Their audience (and music) is way beyond punk.
That's the song I want to play at my funeral.
Same
You want everyone there to wish they could trade with you?
I already cried at the original. This is a whole new level.
This song hits home for many reasons... ❤ too many lost loved ones... RIP
I swear to god this is version of this song I came up with in 2006/7 during a really dark time in my life. Great job guys. I fucking love it.
I've been looking for this for years since I heard him do this live. It's EVEN BETTER live!
Saw this at the IL State Fair in 2018, and it was incredible. Glad to see it's in a studio version now.
Thank you Offspring for such a beautiful song and for keeping this song alive!!!
Saw this version performed live and it was one of the most unbelievable live music events I've ever witnessed. It hit so hard and was overcome with emotion thinking of all those people who have left my life so far. Was a deeply impactful experience.
My grandma passed away on the 6th, I can’t stop listening to this song
The Offspring marcou minha juventude. Sou muito fã desses caras. Pra mim, a melhor banda do planeta!
My son committed suicide at 16, this song will always be in my heart, thank you guys for me and my son's song.
Ух мурашки по коже от пианино))))
Больше таких душевных мелодичных песен, здоровья;)
I went to a concert to see these guys at jones beach and it was awesome!
Saw you all on Saturday and heard this masterpiece live. Holy shit......the amount of emotion those words carried as they sang out was unreal.
Timeless Classic!
Just beautiful...and his voice hasn't changed a bit. Wow.
To be honest, i think just a bit, but that doen't hurt, that is evolution with time.
It's pretty heavily produced. Dexter just can't hit the notes he used to (if he ever did live).
Offspring one love
This song chokes me up every time !
いええええい！！！オフスプリング♪
