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
And it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Marys
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
Ya it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you’ve gone away
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 feels
And it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you’ve gone away
#GoneAway #TheOffspring #Offspring #LetTheBadTimesRoll #OfficialAudio
The original from 1997 feels like its from the perspective of a recent loss. Its loud, its full, its raw. With each instrument the full range of emotions involved is in play and the pain is uncontrolled, almost exploding out in rage and agony against how unfair it was that this person was taken so soon, so abruptly.
This rendition is 24 years of life later, the anger and pain has simmered down into sadness and a dull, everpresent ache. Emotions have come back under control, but like the memories and the love, never left. The years that passed let the rage and fire fueled by loss peter out, and now instead of the full range of emotions flung out by each instrument in the original, we have the simple, concentrated display of them humbly put forward solely through the piano and vocals. The years changed the pain, but the feeling never left. If I could trade, I would
The pain has passed and the wounds have healed, but the scars remain. You might not think upon those feelings everyday but they remain a part of you.
Wow. So spot on there with your discripstion
My mom was about to die when the original came out. Now, all this time later...that is EXACTLY what I get from it. A burned, charred sadness that won't die.
I'm glad I'm not the only person who heard that in it.
Just perfect
The original felt so raw but this version is like the pain that doesn’t go away. So amazing
"...this version is like the pain that doesn’t go away." Couldn't agree more. It just doesn't go away...
Completely agree...
I‘m crying at this version
Agree, it’s amazing to hear the two versions
This is great and the original slaps but I dig the five finger death punch version
My dad passed away two weeks ago all of sudden. This lyrics shows exactly what I'm feeling right now. It's been rough and I can't stop crying.
I'm sorry for your loss. He will always be with you.
Feel your pain , make your dad proud , everyday you have left
I'm so sorry
Oh god! I'm so sorry to hear about that! I hope you manage to cope with it! I'm sure you can do it! You'll pull through!!!
Hi im so sorry...i loss My dad too 9 years ago and the sad feeling is the same.. god bless You
You made a 32 year old man cry like a kid. Thank you.

41 😀
I'm 21 and also had to cry. Never got goosebumps at any song, but this is so hard and goes deep under my skin.
the fact that they can redo their own song so many years later and its still good is incredible
Dirty Magic from Days Gone By was
@@33.3fm4 It was a banger alright, but it was more like a direct upgrade to the original version- the same song, just with more instruments and backing vocals overlaid on it. This is a complete revision of the original Gone Away.
He played this style at a concert I went to a couple years ago
One of the bests 🤘
My sister died unexpectedly when i was 25. Heard this song a million times when it came out in the 90's but never paid attention to the lyrics until today. Every line is hitting me like a hammer. The loss is something I've struggled to live with at times, and these lyrics can't possibly describe the hardship any better.
соболезнования и сил тебе..А грусти не нужно..Она там когда ты грустишь о ней волнуется..
i'm so sorry to hear that may she rest in peace ♡
RIP, no loss is easy
Love and Peace to you brother 🙏
Oh i realli sorry
I'm a 40 year old guy with tears in my eyes listening to this song, thinking about all the people I lost in life.
This is how it should have been done. Heart wrenching lyrics, finally with the right music.These words have so much place, as I have lost most of my family.
I'm not crying! You're crying!
I`m not! You are!
i am haha
I ' m crying, really
Ok, i'm not alone
I’m not you are
I’m crying more than I did when I first heard the original version of this song. Dexter’s vocals with the piano track absolutely tugs at my heart strings in a whole new way. Well fucking done guys. Well fucking done.
The difference is that when I was younger and lost someone, it was harsher, more angry- like the original song. The older we get and the more familiar losing someone becomes or the more time softens the blow, the more it shifts to a slower, sadder feeling. Which is why I really like this song (live or recorded). Makes you want to hug your kids or look at a picture of your passed parents.
That said, there are still times when I just want to crank the original version and tell Death to go f*** itself for a while.
@@davidsmith8997 you nailed dude👍 your comment got me all teary eyed as my kids are sitting next to me playing Zelda and I'm feeling old.
You should hear the version guest starring Dead Sara. Both have so much emotion in them.
@@davidsmith8997 Lovely words bro couldn't agree more we are all getting older together just the way its meant to be.
this song hits straight to home. losing my da to suicide almost 5 years ago, and i can feel dexters pain....
I lost my husband to cancer in 2017. This captures the raw pain of grief that never goes away.
Forever my love, Tommy
NO one can uniquely cover an Offspring song like the Offspring.
Damn. I need a Kleenex.
I mean Five Finger Death Punch did a really good job of covering this song. Definitely had a unique take on it
Here’s to everyone who has lost a loved one. Music is amazing. The original is awesome but this version brought me to tears.
I had rediscovered The Offspring in July 2017. A few days before I went to a convention, I had gone over to a friends house to record an acoustic cover of this track. After going to the convention and moving to Kansas, I woke up on July 21st to find out that my hero had passed away.
That day, music was the only thing holding me together. I hit shuffle, and the original version of this song was the first song to pop up.
I don't cry easily.
That day, I was not myself.
Rest in Peace Chester.
When I was a kid "Gone Away" used to be my favourite Offspring song. Even though I didn't understand much english at the time (not a native speaker), I knew it had a deep message and always felt overwhelmed.
But this version is in a whole other level! Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you The Offspring, for being the band of my childhood. Punk never dies.
Funny to read I wrote the exact same comment on their video clip video :). I am glad someone feels the same about The Offspring who were part of our childhood and grew old with with us ❤️
Yeah it's like we can feel the deep meaning even without understanding the language
Great song and version !
It reminds me the song "Mad world" of Tears for Fears and covered by Gary Jules.
So happy of this new album !
What an amazing point of view my friend! Im from argentina and i agree with you in a 100%.
Good vibes!!
My brother noticed that once he listened to this version of mad world, I'd already knew both songs but never had noticed the musical similarity...
I thought the same!
Yeah, I heard Mad World recently and thought of this song
Only so many keys can be laid in order before you stumble into similarities.
Music is full of these!
The lyrics have always hit me in the feels. But loosing the love of my life and mother of my son to suicide this really hits home more then ever.
Never underestimate peoples emotions. It's always in evey situation to ask if somebody is ok then it is to bury someone you love. 27 too young
I’m so sorry for your loss.
What I love about this version is that not only does it feel like it's just a natural progression of how somebody who sung the original would sing it now, all those years later, but also that it feels as though it takes inspiration from how 5FDP sung their version of it.
I have lost too many immediate family members in my life, but nothing will ever come close the death of my father. It's been seven years just this past August so now hearing this version really tugs on the heart strings for me. There have been many songs over the years that make me think of him (and others like my grandparents) but this one really hits home for me... Amazing re-recording / new version off a timeless alt rock song from over 20 years ago!
The song makes me think of my father..... he died 2 years ago The day after Christmas from a 4-year long battle with Alzheimer's....
Miss you everyday pops 🙏♥️
I first heared this song when i was like 13 years old. Now i have own kids and i can hear the remake of this song, and its still played by The Offspring! And i hope my kids still can hear their songs in ten years, when they are around 13 years old...
Very cool! May you and your kids be blessed!
❤❤
Mad world + gone away = 😭
Seriously this is amazing
Gone Away really hit me when my mother passed of pancreatic cancer.
It seemed to be a manifestation of the anger and frustration that I felt for years after she'd gone.
This version is what is left after that anger finally gives way to time, and just the sadness and longing remains.
I guess different songs mean different things to different people.
And to me, the two versions of this song perfectly encapsulate grief.
Screw you for making me feel feels.
Love Bites.
Played this at my stepsons funeral, everyone had tears hearing this version. It really tears at your heart
This is my all time favorite song. The original version came out when I was a teenager. Both my older brother and I loved the song. We didn't have any money, so we would both try to catch it on the radio, to tape it on a cassette tape. My older brother caught it but I never did, so I would take it from his room once a week to listen to every time I had to cut the grass. I would actually choose to cut the grass so I could listen to it. Then I would put it back in his room without him knowing I had it.
When I was 16, he was 18, he then passed away in a car accident. To this day, this song will always have a place in my hurt.
my mom passed away very unexpectedly this past june. she was my best friend in the whole world. alternative rock was one way we bonded. we both loved the original of this song. i recently discovered this version one day while driving. it’s been my favorite song since and one of the few songs that describes exactly how i feel since she passed. thank you, so so much.
I'm about to have every version of this song on my playlist
The version we all hoped for.
I did not, I like the rawness in the original.
I also not... I don't like Dexter's voice like this.
Agree...I loved the remastered Dirty Magic...but several years ago my friend shot footage of Dexter performing Gone Away with piano in concert. When I saw it on the LTBTR track list...I was really hoping it was what it was ❤
@@Chiquita-CZ The original sounds like a teenager, full of anger and revolting while dealing with death.
This version sounds like a old man facing the death, with sadness, tiredness and conformed since there's nothing to do.
@@AllenDelorie Well, to me, original sounds honest and true, credible. This one, I wish it was just piano and Dexter, like some live versions few years back, the strings really make it cheesy and polished.
I'm 38years old,but today I'm 16 again 🤘😁🍻
I'm 16/17 back in 1997 when this was originally released again.
Bro same. Il be 39 in nov.
Same ill be 37 in Nov. Hey we a 37, 38, and 39 up in here
🍻
@@josephkennerly5889 not yet im still 38. Lol. What day in nov? Im the 15th
One of best Offspring songs ever!!
Heard this for the first time duringr my divorce.... Fuck
After thinking of my father's passing 20 years ago playing this song at his funeral.....
Music is ... Magical
I lost my best friend when I was 19. 13 years later I catch myself thinking about him more and more. Despite a lot of hardship and compromise, my life turned out alright. And here I am, 32 sitting home surrounded by monitors and my dog chewing his toy in my legs while listening to this. I have a strange mixture of feelings: both the happiest and the saddest I've ever been.
Be well brother. All the best
You know when music can make you feel like that.....it's important
The pain you endured were the roots of memories going deep inside you so you'd always remember that you cherished your friend. Deep roots like a tree with memories for leaves..
A song I sing to my little brother and father's pictures. I miss them so much. My brother died at 9 in 1998, and my dad 62 in 2003. It's never really gotten easier, but it helps to cry. I miss them so much. My brother was an angel in disguise, and my father some kind of warrior who always stood up for what he thought was right.
And it feels...best regards from germany, Ruhen sie in Frieden (R.I.P. in German)
April 20th my best friend was taken away by cancer. This song always makes me think about him since he gone away
i am sorry good luck ;) bonne chance in frensh ;)
I'm so sorry...
rip sorry for your loss
I feel you and am sorry to hear that. I lost my wife almost a year ago to cancer so I understand the pain. I wish you well and hope you're doing alright
Ever since I was 13, the original has been my funeral song! Not quite sure how I feel bout this one, suppose it wud be softer on the family 🤷♀️ but they wud all know it weren’t me 😬
Omg! He played a piano version in Texas during a concert once and I never thought I'd hear it again! This is fantastic!!!
I thought I was the only one!
they play that at nearly every show
Down to the lyrics of the song fit agonizingly perfect when my Dad died last year. The first Verse sends me to tears if I listen to it without it being more than background noise. Basically, I was on my way to work when my car broke down. Called my Mom to let her know I needed to temporarily ditch the car and needed a ride into work. She told me to go to my Dad's place, as they'd been separated since 2009. Before I hung up, she said "you know what, stop at that CVS at the next intersection", a mile from his apartment. Get drove into work a few miles away, oddly enough getting a call from my old man's best friend, asking for my Mom's#. Asked me where I was and when I said work, he didn't tell me why he asked. I'm there for an hour when I get a call of immediate worry. Mom wouldn't say what was wrong, but given that my Dad had recently been injured at work and was more stressed than ever, alongside the odd call from his friend, it didn't take long for the internal suggestion of, It's... Dad, he's gone. I ignored that initially, out of sheer disbelief. My mother's face said everything when I saw her. So that first verse is an emotional sucker punch, because it's essentially the same as Dexter's writing
Who the hell are these 37 people to dislike this??? It’s beautiful and I like that the song has aged with all us OG fans from the days of Americana. This song has changed and matured as we have and remains beautiful as we have.
what matters most is so many more likes then dislikes this track is awesome
Is Americana really OG though. It’s their 5th album. 😉
Present
@@jon-pauldupont5746 Yes, it's their breakthrough.
@@korrasatsuki8773Sorry but Smash was their breakthrough album and OG's were there for the self titled and ignition albums. They've put so much autotune into this it sounds like a cheap knock off of Dexter, the original was better in every way, musically, pace and vocals. If they'd just used Dexters raw vocal talent I'm sure it would have been so much better.
This always reminded me of a good friend who took his life. Been 26 years and still think of him often. rip Brad
16 years here. Same. I feel for you. 🖖
Geez. That's too bad. I'm very sorry for your loss.
Your a great friend to respect his memory. I feel you bro peace and love bro
@@michaelblack3985 same to you
My best friend I ever had did this too, 10 years ago. Life goes on, so don't you worry and smile more, that's important in life
They Did It... They Actually Did It... Oh My God I'm Crying 😭
I Know The Original Meaning Of This Song.. But Honestly Hearing This Version Just Makes Me Remember How I Felt When I Heard The Original Version The Very First Time.. And How Life Was So Easier Back Then When I Was A Kid... Now Growing Up And How Life Is Getting More Difficult By The Second... Not Just For Me For All Of Us.. It Feels Like That Yesterday Version Of Us And The Easier Version Of Life Has Really Gone Away... Its Honestly Heart Breaking 😭
This got me 😭😭😭
Life has gotten crazy and your words put it perfectly. Stay strong man !
I never had any comment in my "RUclips life" my friend and I'm 37. when i read your comment ,you made me check the name because i thought it was me.
I stood strong and i didn't cry hearing the song ,but i gave up when i saw your comment.
Thank you Offspring !!
Punk Rock is not only "noise"..
They've been playing this version live for a few years now, I highly recommend seeing them if you haven't
I just heard this on my Spotify list a few mins ago. I had no idea it could sound so beautiful. It almost made me tear up. Such an amazing job, thanks guys. This is officially my favorite song of yours now.
I hope you know we still feel your pain Dexter, beautiful rendition of an already amazing song. For anyone who has lost someone they loved, I hope this song brings you peace, and at least a calm during times when it’s hard. Much love everyone.
I lost my baby a year ago and this song will always bring tears!
We buried my daughter in law today to this version. She was killed in a car accident leaving my son and 5 children behind. It resonated so deeply. Beautiful. Peace
It's crazy how an acoustic version just seems to bring a whole different feeling out than the original, love it when a band revisits their old stuff, same with when bon Jovi made an acoustic album and changed living on a prayer
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 is 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 Marys
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 is so far away
And it stings
Yeah, it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Now that you've gone away
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 is so far away
And it feels
Yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Thank you
Five Finger Death Punch did a semi-acoustic version of this song. Offspring said "Gimme back my beer and LISTEN!!"
Everytime i listen to this song, i remember him, i remember everything.
Ya it's true, if i could trade, i would.
Dexter is a great musician in this era!!!!
That artwork is amazing
I always thought the original song had amazing lyrics and I imagined it playing at my funeral, but the music might put people off.
Then they released this version and I demand it be played!
The Offspring was the first band I ever listened to, and I was gifted Americana on my 12th birthday as the first CD I ever owned. I don’t listen to this kind of music much anymore but I’ll always recognize The Offspring for being the most important band of my youth. I can go back and sing every lyric of every song from every album, and I love them just as much now as I did growing up.
That said, the original Gone Away is such a classic, but this is a beautiful take on it.
This is mad world levels of feels.
Im crying. It's that heart touching
I hear you my friend 😑my grandfather was my best friend.hearimg this new version of it this morning was like hitting a wall.cheers 🤘
Lost my brother back in 89 on this day and still hurts and this version hits so hard… if I could trade, I would!
Thanks DEXTER right now this song hits hard. My mother is in the icu; she had a cardiac arrest . And we don't know what will happen . But we got faith 🙏. I got to see you play this live this year when u came to slc . I was in the front row . Who knew months later, I would be listening to this on my porch at 6.am thinking about my own mother .
how's she doing? did she make it? is she okay?
Mad world
I thought the same!
thank you so much for this. Today would be the birthday of my very best friend Caio Cesar Veiga Rodrigues.. he died 4 years ago. I consider this a posthumous gift for him. We always dreamed going to your show.. listening to this song breaks my heart.
RIP Caião. Hope you enjoy this gift!
I’m sorry for your loss
This is a good version to play at a funeral
It's been 5 years today.
The world's grown colder.
I've grown older.
Now that you've gone away.
I still reach to the sky and call out your name.
Tommy
Forever my Love Tommy 💔💔
I definitely got goosebumps. This album is their best in a long time.
This song was with me when I was 15 and lost my mother in 1996... 39 now and still love the offspring and listen to this song . Heard them preform live the piano version , always one of there best songs !
jesus, there isn't many songs in the world that bring a tear to my eye but this is one of them god damit.
The world has always been cold... it's just that when you were born, you were born with fresh senses and all was warm and real... then you were exposed and burned by the reality. Then you spend much of your time struggling to breath or live again while looking back trying to understand why you stopped living. It's hard to gather it all together.
My favourite song of all time and I've been waiting for the official piano release of it since i heard it back in 2010.
Lost my mom a few months ago. I love both versions of this song but damn it hits close to home right now. :(
Its been 8 years since my friend died the original mix really represented the anger of being gone too soon and now all this time has gone by im no longer angry im just sad he's not here and thats what this mix represents to me
20+ years ago, I did a high school film analysis project for my English class, based on the original video. I failed that assignment. But what I captured in that essay was deep and evoking and I still stand by what I wrote.
Now much older, much more successful I can honestly say - when people are young, their talent is often ignored. It doesn't matter.
The value added never decays. It's the environment that changes. Not the person.
So if you are young. Reading this. Frustrated with the world. Understand what you see is only a small fragment of the world. You will see more of it as time comes, and you will understand the passion you feel right now is not wrong, it's just in the wrong place. Overtime you will find your place in the world eventually, and people will know you were right all along.
Kia Kaha
This awesome song lasts only 3 minutes, but hurts a lifetime
Loved both versions and when I finally heard this when released it was... wow!
This speaks volumes for the quality of this song that it is still amazing but it's at it's absolute peak when the OG The Offspring sing it. Never fade away guys.
The difference between the original version and this one is the emotion represented in it. The original was borne out of anger and sadness over the loss of a loved one whereas this is the result of reflecting on that loss and still feeling the sadness of that loss long after the anger subsided.
Love this version
I lost my brother a little more than 7 years ago. This and the original both hit me hard and bring me to tears every time I hear them. Thank you @offspring for putting words to my feelings.
2 years ago I lost my mother....this song (the lyrics, and how Dexter sings it) hits right home.
Very sorry for your loss. When that time comes for me I don't know how I'll cope. I'm living at home at 34 in order to get my life in order because my mother never had the chance. She wanted to be a nurse and her grandparents whom she lived with wouldn't sign for it. She's worked in factories her whole life but she's allowed me to live with her and do what I need to do until I'm ready.
@@caturdaymusingz9375 thank you for your kind words. I can just recommend to cherish the time you spend together and to talk about death, last wishes etc. soon enough
They played this in a stadium recently. I'll never forget that moment. From a pipe dream of a teenager wanting to see his favourite band, to a 30 something in the crowd, seeing his hero's play live. Thank you.
God damn I didn't know I needed to hear this so badly. Been a fan of The Offspring for 20 years
Never thought I'd see the day where I'd hear The Offspring do a Five Finger Death Punch song! Sounds great too. Nearly as good as the 5FDP original. They really put their own original stamp on it - almost like they wrote it themselves. That's the mark of a truly great cover song.
Can't tell if sarcasm or not
@@reaper3456 lol
I'm not sure if you're joking or not. I'm so confused lol
@@ktktwix Sure, just trolling 😂
@@85vesti thank the Lord 🤣
The original version for when you don’t want to cry and this version for when you do. Thanks for completing the set guys❤️
My Friend,
It is in the grips of despair that I am here listening to our old recordings on repeat wishing that I could see you again. This simulacrum doesn't do you justice. I miss you and I love you. I hope that you are out there somewhere. I regret not calling you enough because I was too tired or too busy or whatever stupid excuses I made to myself, but that doesnt matter now. It feels like nothing does. I'm going to miss our late night phone calls where we talked for hours about everything and nothing against the backdrop of our rational pessimism. I am going to miss trading poetry and bouncing ideas back and forth about all things music and philosophy. You were a kind and genuine person and that is so rare to find these days. I am sorry I took that for granted. Most of all I am sorry we didnt get together again sooner before all this happened. I was looking forward to reading the rest of your book someday, but I suppose the first 3 chapters will have to be enough. A friend of ours told me earlier that you were the happiest she had ever seen you when we were writing together and for that I am grateful. I just wish we could have done it more. In fact I'd do alot of things I wouldn't be proud of to see your face and hear your voice again. You are a very special person to me and I love you very much and I could probably write on and on about it up to and beyond the edge of my sanity, but I will spare anyone who reads this the annoyance. I LOVE YOU AND YOU WILL BE SORELY MISSED BY EVERYONE WHO KNEW YOU THE WAY I DID. YOUR LIFE WAS OF VALUE AND IT STILL IS.
If god exists he knows he got the better deal when he made us trade you to him for a stone.
Maybe in the Next Life,
Josh
I knew this song I've listened to the original so many times but my sister passed away just a few weeks ago and this just hit me on a whole different level and I can't stop listening to this version and crying my head off now.
Just amazing. We here all loved the original song, and 20 years later, 20 years older, we all feel emotion hearing this so beautiful and so different version. This is Talent. Thank you !
Carlitos Coellar 🕊️ mi primo te extraño, desde el cielo dame lucidez y fuerza.
Today is my 42nd anniversary with my wife who passed away 2 years right before out 40th anniversary. I've see offspring 5 times and this version is right to the heart ❤. I had a great love and was very blessed so God Bless you Shell and God Bless everyone who who is love. Its a very hard emotion to find but it's so fucking beautiful when you find it.
The original was raw and this one channels the pain into sadness. I really would love to hear both Ivan's and Dexter's vocals on this .
Who's ivan?
@@oregunrack8846 FFDP singer
Im gonna be burying my wife next week. This song hits it all for me. I look up at the skies and see how far heaven is, especially knowing she's there. They world isn't the same anymore. I don't love it. I don't want to be here anymore.
Been there , Brother, and it sucks. Hope God has given you a bit of peace. 3.5 years later I still have sudden tear onset. Keep your chin up, and know she would only want you to love her memory, not be defeated by it!.
This is so powerful and emotional. I had it on repeat all day when the album came out, and love singing along to it. I think the song works far better as a piano ballad then it did as a punk rock song. To me this is the definitive version.
This and the one with Dead Sara, absolute chest punch in the heart!
my mom's birthday was april 15th. she turned 56 and then passed away from complication of cancer on may 1st. when i saw the offspring in phoenix a couple years ago they played this live and i went to look for the best quality live shot i could find. i've never been more happy to see this is here. fuck it hits hard.
much love bro
One if the best songs I ever heard. Fantastic.
Never had or wanted an Offspring song on my Spotify play list. Not in a bad way, just never really got into them. But this song left me searching for it after hearing it on the radio. Amazing.
Best track on the album.. and quite a surprise to stubble across. An old classic. The album Let The Bad Times Roll dropped through my door today. Gotta love that cover art work. I'm so Old Skool ^_^
I killed my best friend about a decade ago. The original song always ripped me apart, left in tears reaching to the sky, "if I could trade, I would" Glad you guys are keeping your awesome old tunes alive, cause they mean a lot to bastards like me
I thought I didn’t need a re-record/piano version of Gone Away, however 30 seconds in I realised I really fucking did. This is such a good version of it
Hell yes!
I hope that everyone here is okay. If you are struggling, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. Please remember that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it sometimes. I wish you all the best. Be safe.
@ThePoopmancer Just wanted to say kuddos bro, I see you posting a lot on here similar to this. The world needs more people giving a shit.
@@KellKheraptis Thank you, I really do appreciate it. Take care and have a good winter.
I lost my oddest brother to suicide when I was 11. He was 17.
I'm 53.
This song is how I STILL feel, 42 years later there is a hole in my heart.
He had no memorial.
No family spreading of ashes.
No acknowledgment.
It broke me.
The 1st version was so raw and almost angry.
This.
THIS is how my pain has grown/mellowed.
I'm crying now.
Tattoo time.
Tribute to (both) lost brothers.
Surfer, and photos of them skating and surfing.
Oh yea.
And it feels like this is the best song I ever heard.
How good that the Acoustic version sound's just as good as the original, if not better.
its amazing how this version is even sadder than the origional
I love the original, I love the FFDP version, and I love this one. All versions of this song I've listened to have been absolutely amazing.
Hear this live 3 years ago in Springfield IL.... I have waited 3 years for this...
