I saw Sevendust play in Albany, NY back in 2003 just a few months after his brother died.Lajon dedicated the track to his bro at the beginning of the song,but broke down crying on stage halfway through.It looked like he was headed off stage,but in that moment he came back to the mic and powered through-singing with so much heart and conviction with tears streaming down his face.It was one of the most emotionally powerful moments I've ever seen.Still gives me chills.I am a Sevendust fan for life.
quite simply one of the most breathaking songs ever written...the build-up, the notes, everything...it's perfect, and in my opinion a great tribute song for any male who's ever passed away..much love to Sevendust (L)
This is how we should remember our departed family and friends. I can barely get through this song without crying because it speaks so much for me.Much respect for Sevendust.
Great band, great song, great music video. Gotta love this band; great vocals and great performance. Great set up with all of the percussion instruments.
I love when Clint and Lajon share the vocal parts. Clint has an awesome voice and he only really shows it on the softer songs like this and also on X-Mas Day and Skeleton Song.
Everytime I hear this song I think of my Dad and miss him very much. This is the best song ive found that suits how me and my friends miss him and cared about him. Awesome Band and Beautiful song
I argued with a family member today over Sevendust. My opinion was the that Sevendust have actually put passion into their music and not been altered by record companies and not made cocky like other bands or Artists. His argument was that they weren't popular. My statement showed that they aren't alter, they're not changed. Sevendust show the passion that is needed in music. Nothing can compare to them... Lajon (lead singer) even cries in one of his videos. Now tell me, isn't that passion?
They played this son at one of my best friends' funerals. To this day it makey me cry a little. But now matter what..I love this song. It's a beautiful tribute to someone they obviously considered a brother.
i cant remember the last time i cried about anything. this song reached into a part of my soul and ripped at me till tears burst from my eyes. I always listen to it when i need to feel like im alive again.
THIS IS THE BEST TRIBUTE SONG EVER!!!! And for all the people who think this is sevendust, it's just the lead singer. The rest of the band are people from other bands paying tribute. R.I.P.
Sevendust rocks! This is from the "Animosity" album. Saw them 5 or 6 years ago first time and they rocked the house with this one. If you havent seen them in concert.........GO!
Love love love Lajon. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him when he played at Rockfest In Oregon. Beautiful voice, such a talent and an amazing human.
this song is so marvelous and this video sends me chills every single time they are the best band ever, lynn strait was a great human being and God rest his soul great song
By far, the best video Sevendust has ever put out. I only wish I knew who directed it. It captures everything the band tried to represent with the song in dedication to Lynn. Fantastic job.
we played this song at my friends funeral and everyone there was amazed. this song says so much about life. even the elderly people were amazed by it.{ r.i.p. chris }
GOD... I friggin' Love... this darn song... WoW... SevenDust looks nothing how i imagined... and i didn't think there was that many of them...theres like at least 7 of 'em... Well they look kool... This song is DEF kool and yeah ... his voice is ridiculously grreat!... "I Can't Go On..."
"Black" off of their first CD is one of their best...although, everything that they do is brilliant. It was the first song I ever heard by them and still one of my faves!!!
sevendust is very popular, but in strange places. They've been around for a pretty long time, plus they have .... a lot of cds out. Been lucky enough to see them live twice, almost saw them a 3rd time. They put on a great show. Lotta respect for sevendust and all they've done
the topic at hand was the singer is one of the more talented black singers in the industry, and theres not that many. And I realize who its about, thank you.
Idk man....Sevendust is a GREAT band. They deserve ALL of the best. And I believe "Animosity" is one of the most underrated albums EVER. So amazing, I'd literally put it in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.
They just played Augusta, GA on the 11th of this month. He and the rest of the band are still in great shape. I can't wait for them to come back by here.
Angel's Son is a single written by Lajon Witherspoon of Sevendust and ex-Snot band member (now ex-Sevendust guitarist) Sonny Mayo and performed by Witherspoon and two fellow Sevendust members (drummer Morgan Rose and guitarist/vocalist Clint Lowery), for the post-mortem compilation CD in honor of James Lynn Strait known as Strait Up[1]. This was the only single track from the tribute album.
this is one of the most touching songs i have ever heard, literally every time i hear it it makes me tear up. sorry but, anyone who dislikes this, has no heart.
i was a fun of the band since they did the cover for smackdown vs raw but then i learned about this song.I really respect and admire them for this.Sevendust is not a regular band
lynn strait was the lead singer of snot. he died in a car accident. this song was originally written for the album "strait up" and included lajon, clint, and morgan, and sevendust later included it on their album "animosity". very amazing song indeed. very moving.
im happy for u man always keep god in ur heart wish it was the same for my grandfather. i miss u grandpa no1 else can give me wat u gave me love u and i will see u again 1 day
Amazing song...they are one of the all time killer Metal Bands. I would love to see them receive the success and fame they so richly deserve...probably not in this lifetime...considering how much the mindless masses love to listen to all the shit that passes for music these days! What a shame... Please keep rocking 7D...
Whenever I hear this song I always imagine sitting on a park bench before sunrise. I'm slowly feeling the sensation of the cold rushing across my skin. In the horizon is the break of dawn and the light rushes in and fills the park with warmth and life. I feel the warmth brush pleasantly across my skin and I stand up, look up, close my eyes and give a small smile. This song makes me feel revived and renewed, much like the first rays of Sunlight on my skin. Such an amazing song. Great band! :D
Great song by a great band. I have seen Sevendust 4 times and they just get better and better. Wish they would bring the trampolines back to the show. It was bitchin watching them jam and jumping across stage.
I had somber eyes through the first part of it, but when the loved one came rushing in and I saw the chief doctor looking at the wallet picture and sees her waiting there, the tears started flowing.
this song is so heartfelt and powerfull its crazy if you cant feel it then you have no heart if you ever lost anyone in your life its amazing to me how this song hits home for me
this song means alot, I like this video better then the beach one. My son died in a car wreck a couple years ago. this shows some of the events and feelings we went through.
it is dedicated to Lynn, from snot, but after this was released, I saw them in concert,(7dust) and they dedicated this to Joe C, as well, was touching, very touching song, again beautiful, makes ya misty eyed.
I consider myself a manly man, I like beer, women, the outdoors and being a foundation for other to build off of...but I can bow down to the sympathetic side of meat times and this one does it for me.. I love this song, it fills me with so many emotions that I can't even begin to describe. Love sevendust

This song gives me shivers down my spine, and brings tears to my eyes. Yet another masterpiece from Sevendust
This is how we should remember our departed family and friends. I can barely get through this song without crying because it speaks so much for me.Much respect for Sevendust.
Love this song. Very few metal bands can pull off such a deep and powerful song. Especially with the great vocal range. Sevendust rocks!!!
Great band, great song, great music video.
Gotta love this band; great vocals and great performance.
Great set up with all of the percussion instruments.
I love when Clint and Lajon share the vocal parts. Clint has an awesome voice and he only really shows it on the softer songs like this and also on X-Mas Day and Skeleton Song.
Why this band is not much bigger is beyond me. They are amazing and each album gets better and more mature sounding. They rock.
I can't help going back to this song....brilliant effort by Sevendust! James Lynn Strait...lest we forget!
Awesome tune, really shows that Sevendust are great songwriters.
Brilliant salute to Lynn Strait! Glory be to Sevendust! The vocalist is a legend!!
I never tire of Sevendust!! You guys are sooo versatile. You rock my soul.
Sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. And the video is excellent too. Great tribute to Lynn.
AHH! I can't ever get enough of this song or band.. Saw them at the house of blues and can't WAIT to go back and see them again
13 years gone and he's memory still lives in so many's hearts. RIP Lynn Strait
Lajon has so much power in his voice it is amazing.. he reminds me of a man they howard jones...
Everytime I hear this song I think of my Dad and miss him very much. This is the best song ive found that suits how me and my friends miss him and cared about him. Awesome Band and Beautiful song
I love Lajon's voice it just sounds so awesome and beautiful. Awesome band and I hope they don't ever break up or retire from making music.

They played this son at one of my best friends' funerals. To this day it makey me cry a little. But now matter what..I love this song. It's a beautiful tribute to someone they obviously considered a brother.
What a great singer! Extremely thoughtful song... go Sevendust!
i cant remember the last time i cried about anything. this song reached into a part of my soul and ripped at me till tears burst from my eyes. I always listen to it when i need to feel like im alive again.
This song is amazing. I have heard it so many time, and im still speachless after listening to it. Amazing voice and song in one. Sevendust is epic.
THIS IS THE BEST TRIBUTE SONG EVER!!!! And for all the people who think this is sevendust, it's just the lead singer. The rest of the band are people from other bands paying tribute. R.I.P.
Sevendust rocks! This is from the "Animosity" album. Saw them 5 or 6 years ago first time and they rocked the house with this one. If you havent seen them in concert.........GO!
Love love love Lajon. I was lucky enough to spend some time with him when he played at Rockfest In Oregon. Beautiful voice, such a talent and an amazing human.
OMG!! I have just discovered Sevendust and I'm astonished...
Amazing, can't say anything...
They made me really feel,that's music!!!
anytime lajon sings this song live a huge blue light shines on him and you dont see the band, real powerful tribute sone RIP Lynn
This is very amazing. Lynn was a great guy. and he will always be in our hearts.
Such a great band...almost everyone in the band sings, very melodic, so many good songs..Sevendust baby..awesome..
This is perhaps the most beautiful song I have ever heard in rock/metal.
We will all miss lynn. he was a amazing musician and person. God bless him.
this song is so marvelous and this video sends me chills every single time they are the best band ever, lynn strait was a great human being and God rest his soul great song
My mom was a huge country music fan, but she LOVED this song. I wish I could have played this at her funeral.
By far, the best video Sevendust has ever put out. I only wish I knew who directed it. It captures everything the band tried to represent with the song in dedication to Lynn. Fantastic job.

lajon has the most beautiful hard rock voice EVER!!!!, so much guttural soul. rock is in desperate need of more singers like him.
an awesum fusion of acoustic and rock.
great voice too
5 stars
I still get choked up watching this.
Rest In Peace Lynn & Dobbs. We'll see you in heaven.

I just saw these guys at the End OF Summer Scorcher, In Phoenix, AZ. They were sick!!! Put on one hell of a show.
One hell of an under rated band :'(
Sevendust deserve a shitload more credit than they're getting.
What a voice!

Is it an overstatement to suggest, that this is one of the greatest rock-songs of all-time?
Next to Broken Down, this is my fave Sevendust song. Quality stuff!
Back in 1995? We opened up for these guys.. They were called crawlspace.. Does anyone remember those days?
John Jackson /never knew that they were called crawl space. Thanks for the information preciate it. Now I gotta look them up.
@@shawneldridge4524 They were called Snake Nation, then Rumblefish, then Crawl Space, and finally SevenDust
great song, reminds to all about our people that r not here anymore, loves 2 daniel, love u bro.
Amazing song...they are one of the all time killer Metal Bands.
I would love to see them receive the success and fame they so richly deserve...probably not in this lifetime...considering how much the mindless masses love to listen to all the shit that passes for music these days! What a shame...
Please keep rocking 7D...
linda melodia...muito loka...demais!!!!valeu!!!Brasil é nois!!!

This one takes me back. Awesome song.
Great song by a great band. I have seen Sevendust 4 times and they just get better and better.
Wish they would bring the trampolines back to the show. It was bitchin watching them jam and jumping across stage.
I wish they would come to Indianapolis, Sevendust put me on to rock back when they first released Denial.
Really good. Saw him at X fest late last year. Best act of the day. Should of headlined.
that song is awesome! loved the music video.
R.I.P. Lynn Strait.
This is such an awesome song, Lajon has the best voice in the world.
this is a song that I really need to take a deep breath after listening to, amazing song!
Seen this band at the guverment in Toronto with Drowning Pool as one of the opening acts, what a memorable show!
One of there best songs. It always makes me think of loved one that I have lost.
I had somber eyes through the first part of it, but when the loved one came rushing in and I saw the chief doctor looking at the wallet picture and sees her waiting there, the tears started flowing.
Pra mim, essa banda é novidade, mas essa música mostra todo o potencial dos caras, sem sombra de dúvidas é uma das melhores que já ouvi.
this song is so heartfelt and powerfull its crazy if you cant feel it then you have no heart if you ever lost anyone in your life its amazing to me how this song hits home for me
this song means alot, I like this video better then the beach one. My son died in a car wreck a couple years ago. this shows some of the events and feelings we went through.
omg this video is just BEAUTIFUL!!
makes me wanna cry
sevendust rulz!
These Guys Rock!!! Love this song!!
i love this song and this group i hope they continue for a long time they make good music rock on guys
Lost a good friend today, and this song is closest to how and what I feel. RIP Rusty...
it is dedicated to Lynn, from snot, but after this was released, I saw them in concert,(7dust) and they dedicated this to Joe C, as well, was touching, very touching song, again beautiful, makes ya misty eyed.
Wow...im touched.....I just lost someone in my family today and its like i can relate to every note and every word just about...
For Sevendust, basically all of the album this song is on (the album is Animosity). That and the albums Next and Home. Fantastic all of them.
I consider myself a manly man, I like beer, women, the outdoors and being a foundation for other to build off of...but I can bow down to the sympathetic side of meat times and this one does it for me.. I love this song, it fills me with so many emotions that I can't even begin to describe. Love sevendust
Saw these guys on the Carnival of Madness tour @ DTE. They played close to a 10 mintue rendition of this song and it was amazing.
A very strong soul touching song.
+Dead Weight he's cried singing this song every time I've seen him sing it live and I cry right along with him.
@@andrewcundiff5560 Me Too
This is one of my all time favorite songs in the whole world!
