OH WOW!!! I am so grateful I came across your stunning cover of this BEAUTIFUL song. My husband died in 2000, when my son was 15. They were both very musical, my husband having played professionally when he was younger. After his death, my son played Offspring’s “GONE AWAY” until he had it perfected on both drums and electric guitar. Fast forward nineteen years. My son died from the same genetic cancer that had killed my husband. At his funeral, I had “GONE AWAY” played. Colour me stupid, but the hundreds of times my son played that song, all I knew was that I LOVED that melody. Shortly before his funeral, his closest friend told me that Jamie had learned the song to try to cope with his Dad’s death. I had had absolutely no clue this was the case, because I had no idea that the lyrics spoke of losing a much-loved, special someone. I have shared your cover with my daughter, who of course lost her Dad and her older brother. Your cover DEEPLY touched the brokenness in my heart, and I know it will for her too. I loved reading all the comments!!! I am so happy people took the time to tell you what an incredible job you did, both on your guitar, and with your vocals . . . thank you . . . Thank You . . . THANK YOU!!!!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sitting in tears reading this. I’m so sorry for your losses in your family. This song has always been a special song for me that I’ve found solace in over the years when dealing with loss. My heart goes out to you and your daughter x❤x
The octave change between the first and second chorus is a really powerful way to build up the emotions in the song. Dexter Holland did an awesome piano version that I wish had included that, but man, this is the next best thing. Thanks for a great cover!
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 Leavin' flowers on your grave To show that I still care Black roses and Hail Mary's 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 Gone away, gone away Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, hoo Yeah, hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh, oh yeah I'll save your soul, whoa Yeah, yeah, oh, ooh-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, hoo Yeah, hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh, oh yeah Yeah ooh, yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, yeah
Finally.........I knew, just effing knew there was another of us out there... Watch on the right arm.. Also.... that was just epic rendition of this song. absolutely nailed it
Wow! This is beautiful. Very well done. I can really feel the emotion better with the acoustic guitar. There is more anger with the distorted electric and this evokes more sadness.
You made this song sound captivating and intense the entire time even though the chord progression never really changes and its just one acoustic instrument. Very VERY well done!
My dad died last year, I’d never heard this song in my life, then all of a sudden it was all over the radio for months after. Brought a tear to my eye bro, great cover
I'm fairly sure that yours is the version that was played yesterday in Melbourne on triple M. My grandmother died three days ago, and I had to pull over on a freeway because I was crying so hard. I've been searching for it since the moment I arrived home. Brilliant. Just brilliant.
Yep just played it again and loved it , very well done , please let us know what other songs you cover as I think it would be great , cheers and thanks
As someone who sings myself and likes this song very much i know that this song is not very easy to sing, and it requires a good vocal range. Good job🤘

just want to say this is one of the best rock solo remakes ive ever seen

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
Leavin' flowers on your grave
To show that I still care
Black roses and Hail Mary's
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
Gone away, gone away
Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, hoo
Yeah, hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh, oh yeah
I'll save your soul, whoa
Yeah, yeah, oh, ooh-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, hoo
Yeah, hoo-ooh-hoo-ooh, oh yeah
Yeah ooh, yeah ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh, yeah
Finally.........I knew, just effing knew there was another of us out there... Watch on the right arm..
