I have to admit I never heard of you or any of your music. I lost my 23 year old son in 2009 to oxy overdose and while I am working out at the gym I listen to his IPOD for some kind of strength. He had your song "In This River" I lost it at the gym, so came home and started researching you. and came across this song. Your words say it all...God Bless You...thank you... a mom with a broken heart
+Pam Koenig I was at about the lowest point in my life in college when I discovered Zakk and BLS. I dated the same girl from the time I was 16 until I was 22. After years and years or being cheated on and having no confidence, I kicked her out and decided I needed to be on my own. I'll be honest in saying that Zakk saved my life. I'll admin that I drank case after case of beer while sitting in strip club parking lots, church parking lots, you name it, but in the end, I could relate and decided there was more to life. Needless to say, I'm still a HUGE, if not the biggest fan anyone can even imagine. This was back in 2006. So, here we are, 10 years late, and I'm still relating and needing this for different reasons. Honestly, I think this is the best discovery you could have found in your sons possessions. I've been to concerts of Zakk's, listened to stuff from when he was in HS, Pride and Glory, etc. Stay strong and keep your head up!
sorry to hear about your loss. Being a recovering heroin addict myself Zack's music has help me through some of the lowest point. He plays with emotion and passion. heavy yet bluesy.
I was privileged enough to meet Zakk once a few years ago. I was in a hotel in Saskatoon. I approached him in the lobby and told him how much his music meant to me. He invited me to hang with him in his tour bus. We talked for a couple of hours, he let me play his guitars... even the Rhodes flying V. He shared a lot of his personal experience with me and how he supported the underprivileged, his spiritual journey, struggles, etc. What a great sensitive man. We're all in this together. So glad to see you are doing well these days. Love ya my friend❤
I'm a Metalhead, but Me and Zakk don't believe the same, but I still love his music when he plays this way! And believe it, I am definitely not a fan of religion, for good reason!
Lost my husband August of 2021 to Covid. Married 35 years, together a total of 40 years. I was so lost and devastated...he was gone in the blink of an eye. He was a guitarist, singer and I sing and play piano. Traveled for years all over playing and singing. The drummer from one of our bands which happens to be a long time childhood friend saved my life by talking me out of ending it. I told him he made me want to live again and he sent me your song. I immediately fell in love with your songs and listen to them all the time. In a nut shell....I am now dating "my drummer". Thank you father Zakk for all the beautiful words and music. You have touched so many lives.
The fact that you see Zakk with this beard thinking ''that guy is brutal'' and then you see him playing the piano and singing with such warmth in his voice just makes you reconsider the stereotypes of nowadays world.That man is blessed,and we're blessed to have him.
His idea is that. And you are right. The guy is married to the same girl since he was 16 years old. Today he is 52. He has 4 children, and he is faithful to what he thinks, what he touches, and to his friends. In addition, he likes motorcycles and cars. What more can we want. He plays and sings a lot. We are blessed, yes.

my dad was a biker, he was also a pretty bad alcoholic. he wasnt a part of my life really, but i did love him dearly. i think i must have gotten about a week totals worth of time with him in my whole life. "the scars that he may never mend" my dad died at 51 in November. 2 heart attacks and he had no DNR, so they called me from states away to basically get consent to end his life. My mom got his wallet for me (she lives in that same state) and mailed it to me. i opened a cardboard box with a leather chain wallet and a watch, that was my funeral. i played another spoke in the wheel and this one came on after. never heard it before but I'll tie it to my father for the rest of my days.
Your a good soul, I can respect your ability to love and try to understand your dad. What people never seem to be able to imagine is what others have endured that has made them broken and scared as they have become My daughter hasn’t spoken a word with me since just before she turned 14 She is now 23, and it’s like my heart and soul has been ripped out of my being!

I am so, so sorry. I hurt for you. I've lost many friends to that same demon and there are no words to kill that kind of pain. I wish you strength and comfort.
Thank you for your amazing words. Today's is my birthday big 53 and I miss my brother that has moved to heaven 5 years ago. Your songs and voice helps me thru the days. God bless you
I lost my infant son and i heard this song the next day. The scar that it's left on me is huge. I can relate this song to what has happened to me. Thanks Zakk Wylde for being such a great song writer.
+billholtzman Sorry for your loss. I have also lost my son and his mother it has left a scar that will never mend. I was forced to turn my back and walk away and was not able to be there when they passed. A regret I will take to the grave. Zakk gives me some peace but I know it will always hurt.
Say your peace, for I'll be on my way One last look, nothing left to say As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend When lies become the truth Well, you've got your beliefs No burdens on your mind They're buried beneath your feet As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend
R.I.P Dad. You were and always will be a Berserker, and you showed Strength, Determination, showed no Mercy, and you will shine through me Forever. Doom Crew till the end.
Dixon Constantine I love Zakk Wylde, Angus Young, Tony Iommi, Randy Rhodes and several others including Ann and Nancy Wilson from heart I love rock and heavy metal normally but this is just beautiful!
My son died 10 years ago from a drug overdose. My husband was killed by a drugged driver 22 years ago. Not a day passes I don't miss them. Yet, I've learned how to live with and cherish the love they left behind. This is a beautiful song that I relate to.
"Scars" Say your peace, for I'll be on my way One last look, nothing left to say As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend When lies become the truth Well, you've got your beliefs No burdens on your mind They're buried beneath your feet As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive, but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend
some cary their scar yet show no pain they believe in life with strength and no fear a man can only be broken if tore a scar is amazing if you wear proud
Hi Zakk, i know you'll probably never see this , but i would like to thank you and tell you that your music saved my life. Hearing this beautiful piano arrengement of the even more beautiful song always calmed me down during my panic attacks. I hope that someday i'll also help someone with their struggles trough my music like you did with me.
i met Zakk back in 1989 in detroit..we are the same age...have been a huge fan ever since..this song sums up all of his life's work...it is a very personal song...from the crazy days of youth to the memories we all reflect on today..thank you Zakk your music has changed my life for the better...
I am so in love with Zakk's voice. It evokes such emotion in me. I have seen him play with Ozzy but didn't realize he had such an amazing voice until I started delving into BLS's music because I'll be seeing them with Hatebreed and Anthrax next month. I am truly so excited to see them live. Prayers to all that have lost loved ones in all ways. May all our scars heal 🙏
His really good stuff to me was the older acoustic stuff he did. Look up “acoustic cowboy” on here. It never was an official release, only bootlegged. That and book of shadows. I listen to both a lot.
Classically trained piano player... then learned guitar as a kid... became the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne... but never forgot his piano roots. I love this so much!!!
fakenamingtonthefakestfaker Good to see him getting noticed finally, for this solo work and BLS. He's always listed as a guitar god, he's a lot more though.
Raven is not doomed I give her the name of a crow the biggest shows the hand can you accept my dad for who he is love he has demons maybe baby you did break that plate cuz you wanted to play with it cuz it was so pretty call me illusional I don't know what's going on
Man I am speechless at the talent of this man....my son has been fighting drug addiction for 15 years. Thank God for another day he is still here with us. He introduced me to this amazing talent. Let the scars heal and the wounds of addiction be restored! God bless you Zak!!!
58 today and been looking at my sleeve tattoos and all the others and they remain in a time frame and seem to hold me at that place and time… then I look up and in the mirror and barely recognize the face looking back at me…thank you for this ,, it’s like a beautiful tribute 🤝💪🏻
I have been a rock ‘n roller all my life and I am 60 years old. I was locked up in prison for 28 years and I heard your music about eight months ago for the first time and I am so hooked. Zak, I can feel your pain and I pray for you to God in heaven, the son of Jesus Christ. Not to mention, in my eyes you are the baddest guitar player ever! You’re awesome Zak
Something so magical with your soulful voice, you speak to my soul....you feel me, I have been there ....the scars that heal but never mend... so powerful Zakk! ❤ You truly are a living legend! Thank you!
I haven't seen my son in years and it kills me a little more each day. I've been playing Zakks songs for over thirty years.his book of shadows 11 has pulled me through and keeps me playing and praying.thank you sir for the songs.can't wait to find the road back home. Amen
I would give almost anything to shake Zakk Wylde's hand and tell him thank you. Had a brother who was my best friend pass away 5 years ago, and he idolized Zakk for his music. Zakk Wylde, your tunes have kept me going.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. also one of the most powerful. I'm going through a lot of mental health issues, while also dealing with grief and addiction. this song calms my soul in a way. i know he will never see this... but i just hope he knows his words help people.
I sincerely hope you are still here Matt! Please hang tough and seek help, for there is someone out there ( and most likely multiple) that can benefit from you and your experiences.
So much soul, so beautiful, we all have scars that heal but never mend..... Phenomenal vocals, beautiful song, awesome piano playing... I just keep coming back...you are truly a legend Zakk 💀🖤💀🖤💀
My heart has cried listening to this,This man is a musical GOD.Thank you Zakk.I have suffered most of my life being legally blind but YOU make everything ok.
I hope you know, that your music has always been a big part of my life. I lost my best friend to suicide and my grandma to lymphoma and this music has been helping me so much.
fucking hell Zakk!! You make a grown man cry.. going trough divorce n' shit and when I heard this song on COTBV I was already sold but this version is The bomb.. you're the reason I started to play guitar and it seems that record by record.. song by song you just inspire me more.. you fucking ROCK my brother!! You're the new generation Randy Rhoads.. never forget that.. you've earned your place among the greats \m/
My grandson just went to see you in penticton last night. I'm old and I'm not in to heavy metal but because he loves your music and wants to be like you I was worried for his future. I just listened to some of it now and can see his point. Thanks for being a mentor for him you are phenomenal.
Say your piece, for I'll be on my way One last look, nothing left to say As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend When lies become the truth, well, you've got your beliefs No burdens on your mind, they're buried beneath your feet As I turn my back, to walk away I shall forgive but I won't forget that day For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend For every sky that shines Shall meet the pouring rain For my will shall never break though it may bend Like the scars that heal yet never mend
Been a fan of Zach's music for many years. When I lost my sister to drugs and alcohol his song "Another spoke in the wheel" comforted me as I felt the way she felt all her life and I finally understood. Remember to love always. This is just another song that keeps her alive in my heart and mind.
Oh ,oh yeah say your piece and I'll be on my way... I hear ya, I feel this deeply... my will shall never break tho it may bend, yes! Keep coming back.... can't help myself... this is one of my favorites ... Legendary man, Legendary timeless music!
My daughter died 16 yrs ago and my 15 yr old son just called me a horrible father and refused to be there for my birthday. My ex poisons his mind. The world thinks Im a fake. Ive lost empires and gave them away. Rebuilt my life again and again. Youve always been for me though Zakk. These are the scars that sleeping dogs make! Its a testament to the things the devil has taken from me and I will fight him to the very end of my days. No more time left for my propaganda! Im coming soon princess! FTW! I always hated it more than Kurt!
How can you lose an empire and then give it away? Sorry to knit pick, but this comment seems like you were trying to make a crescendo. Unfortunately the continuity is off. And then the god stuff feels a bit forced, doesn't fit with the beginning. Sorry for your loss and all, if it's true. A daughter dying 16 years ago and having a 15 year old son is an awkward amount of time to be having children(especially if the girl was older when passing, I apologize if my assumptions are incorrect). You're probably so old your son is having a hard time relating with you. Especially if you bring up a lost child all the time around him,. He may feel overshadowed by the child that was lost. Again no disrespect intended I just question the validity of your comment given the facts.
So beautifully done~~ Love Zakk Wylde's vocals. So soft and soothing to listen to. Love the High and Low Tones of his vocals. Makes my toes curl~~So Beautifully done~ JUST BEAUTIFUL!!
I was introduced to ZW by my partner and his voice crept into my soul and it's like my life experiences were exposed and the rawness of the feelings were expressed through his voice and words.
this song means so much to me and I have bawled my eyes out to it almost every time I hear it. Thank you for this beautiful song that so many can relate to. R.I.P. Daddy 8-3-06 BLS was one of his absolute favorite bands ever.
I lost my uncle a few years back & I can say, it's truly a blessing to hear and listen to your songs n it still brings tears to my eyes because I miss my uncle and your music helps heal that pain I'm going thru ... 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I have to keep coming back, Zakk you pull me in, you touch my soul, so beautiful are your vocals, they comfort me, your music is amazing! You are truly a legend, thank you for sharing your amazing talent... I will never be the same! Forever a fan!
One of my two favorites. Sweet Jesus is the second one. All I can say is thank you so much Zakk 🙏 so glad to have and to keep your music with me always ❤
Such a beautiful man, so talented, and Zakk Wylde your singing goes right to my soul... so amazing, I feel your soul pouring out! I have to keep coming back, I need your music in my life forever! Thank you so much! Many blessings to you!
This.. this song keeps me going!!! I only play by ear, but my fiance that died 2 years ago loved when I played and this song is what I played. Love this and all of your music!
Going to Berzerkfest next month...can't wait to see this God again!!! So talented ❤❤❤...words cannot express how amazing he is....I fall asleep to this song every night...this song just recognizes how he is
Just posted this on my Facebook. "This guy never ceases to impress me. Growing up with him playing with Ozzy, seeing videos of him and his brash antics back stage blowing up at this and that, to discovering BLS which is a totally different style( I didn't even know he sang at all until I heard BLS), watching him rock out with a childs Hello Kitty plastic guitar, now seeing him play piano live in an awesome ballad." You seriously rock!
The 18 people who disliked must be Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber fans. And to all of you saying Zakk has lost his touch, yeah, that's why he's still coming out with badass albums that is better than any shit y'all listen to nowadays. Black Label Society and Zakk Wylde are legends who are gonna be here a little while, and if you don't like 'em keep your face shut, don't listen, and stop saying shit about him. If him/they suck, then why are you wasting time (like I'm doing for some reason, but in his favor) posting junk? Because you're ignorant and have given in to shit that is now considered music.
Thank you Zakk, I am very grateful to you since 1995 and I feel that especially now you share a very personal part of you in your music. Your last works are great, first they bring pain and then they cure... but such songs help to keep those good days with best friends...
...best modern day Druid ever! Thank you Zakk for your presence on this planet. Thank you for sharing your soul. We'll do it again in the next life too. Honoured.
Several years ago I heard In This River for the first time. I played it over and over. This October 3rd, now as a tradition, I will listen to it several times again that day. I know what means, but I must say, I too have made it in a way a dedication. I dedicate it to the 18 brave men that gave their lives on October 3, 1993 in Mogadishu Somalia. I saw you do In This River live in Sioux Falls South Dakota. Needless to say, I broke down in a pool of tears. Now, Scars reenforces In This River. My soul and spirit are once again touched deeply with your words. God Bless.
Zakk is the absolute best ballad singer and musician in my book! As a Rock Singer, he was terrific with Ozzie and Iv followed him since, my sons and now grandsons love him also!🥰
Indeed, this mans talent is way overlooked. It's sad that most people will never get to experience his gift. Surely needs to be on the radio so everyone can be blessed by his music and talent.
Absolutely one of the best songs I've ever heard! Been a big fan for years and after all that's happened to me this year this song really goes well with how I feel! I'd very much like to see more songs like this from Zakk!
Back again, needed to hear this again.... so touching, ya got me all up in my feels, as tears run down down my face... I feel this... like the scars that heal that never mend❤❤❤
I have to admit I never heard of you or any of your music. I lost my 23 year old son in 2009 to oxy overdose and while I am working out at the gym I listen to his IPOD for some kind of strength.

100 % no bullshit truth
He is a true virtuoso and a gentle giant.
Zakk sure knows how to do his job. I swear one of the greatest poets and guitar men of all time.
Yes I'll have to completely agree with you

There are few singers that can bring a grown man to tears. Zakk Wylde is one of them.
Yes indeed the pain of existence is hard on Men we laugh and joke but behind closed doors alot of men are going threw alot of shit
I lost my daughter to heroin this past week. She listened to you a great deal..one of your t shirts was draped over a chair at the funeral. With a ticket stubb....
I have started listening to your music ...." no hear" your music.

Sorry for the Long verbage and forgive my assumption that you even want to hear my opinion.
Sorry Darlene. No parent should have to bury their kid.
love from Russia!
The only scars in heaven are on the hands that hold her now
I am so, so sorry. I hurt for you. I've lost many friends to that same demon and there are no words to kill that kind of pain. I wish you strength and comfort.
Thank you for your amazing words. Today's is my birthday big 53 and I miss my brother that has moved to heaven 5 years ago. Your songs and voice helps me thru the days. God bless you
One of the finest songs he's ever written. Brilliant!
Thanks for beautiful version. My wife just passed away and music is all I've got right now
Dimebag's wife once said that she and Dime used to lay on the floor under Zakks piano and just listen to him play.

Tak tohle je boží ❤.
Wow.

There were never married you liar
I lost my infant son and i heard this song the next day. The scar that it's left on me is huge. I can relate this song to what has happened to me. Thanks Zakk Wylde for being such a great song writer.
+billholtzman hey dude. Im sorry for your loss. maybe you were supposed to find this song man. Stay strong buddy.
+billholtzman
Zakks music has that effect on us all. While Ive never felt your pain, his music has helped me with my own. My condolences, sir.
+billholtzman Really sorry to hear about your son dude. Much love and respect from me.
+billholtzman
Sorry for your loss. I have also lost my son and his mother it has left a scar that will never mend. I was forced to turn my back and walk away and was not able to be there when they passed. A regret I will take to the grave. Zakk gives me some peace but I know it will always hurt.
+James Long Thanks for you reply and sharing your story. I hope you will find peace one day.
Played this song at my dad's funeral. I felt like Zakk was there & this song was for my old man. Thank you for writing this song.
That's so touching! Brother, My Condolences!

My son died 10 years ago from a drug overdose. My husband was killed by a drugged driver 22 years ago. Not a day passes I don't miss them. Yet, I've learned how to live with and cherish the love they left behind. This is a beautiful song that I relate to.
I think you have a magnete for a badluck
stay solid and strong. my bro jumped off a bridge and I cry thinking of him everytime this song plays.
sorry for your lose miss Vicki.
Zakk Wylde is a wonderful artist and deserves far more recognition than he gets. This is just beautiful
Zakk gets all my recognition. I have seen him many times , including bike week in Daytona and DIMES Birthday and Detroit

For my wife who lost her son Scott. Keep singing Zakk you sing to her soul... Thank you For helping her through....
Great singer, songwriter, all around musician... electrified or acoustic, guitar or piano..he definitely is a talented musician!
Karol K You are so bloody right on that I LOVE this FUCKIN song
and hot as hell lol
@@dianabazon9192 😆
Omg ... what a powerful song !! Beautifully done !! Love to hear him play the piano !! This is what real talent sounds like !!
Hi Zakk, i know you'll probably never see this , but i would like to thank you and tell you that your music saved my life. Hearing this beautiful piano arrengement of the even more beautiful song always calmed me down during my panic attacks. I hope that someday i'll also help someone with their struggles trough my music like you did with me.
His voice is as top shelf as his guitar playing. Amazing talent
Zakk is great. I am 50 and loved him with Ozzy, back then, and it's great to see him put out this kind of stuff now.
i met Zakk back in 1989 in detroit..we are the same age...have been a huge fan ever since..this song sums up all of his life's work...it is a very personal song...from the crazy days of youth to the memories we all reflect on today..thank you Zakk your music has changed my life for the better...
I am so in love with Zakk's voice. It evokes such emotion in me. I have seen him play with Ozzy but didn't realize he had such an amazing voice until I started delving into BLS's music because I'll be seeing them with Hatebreed and Anthrax next month. I am truly so excited to see them live. Prayers to all that have lost loved ones in all ways. May all our scars heal 🙏
Dude BLS is the shit.
His really good stuff to me was the older acoustic stuff he did. Look up “acoustic cowboy” on here. It never was an official release, only bootlegged. That and book of shadows. I listen to both a lot.
Classically trained piano player... then learned guitar as a kid... became the lead guitarist for Ozzy Osbourne... but never forgot his piano roots. I love this so much!!!
Justttt wow. This man is a true musician. What a voice too, magnificent. Came to this after reading his book, so glad I did.
didnt even know he had a book. looked it up and ordered it off amazon. thanks man. 8)
fakenamingtonthefakestfaker Good to see him getting noticed finally, for this solo work and BLS. He's always listed as a guitar god, he's a lot more though.
Agreed
+Chris A. his music is soooooooooo......just unreal and full of magic
Totally agree...
I love this man's talent, most beautiful voice, he's touched my soul. absolutely my most favorite artist!
Raven is not doomed I give her the name of a crow the biggest shows the hand can you accept my dad for who he is love he has demons maybe baby you did break that plate cuz you wanted to play with it cuz it was so pretty call me illusional I don't know what's going on
I love you Zakk. My favorite artist of all time. Tears reading these comments.
Man I am speechless at the talent of this man....my son has been fighting drug addiction for 15 years. Thank God for another day he is still here with us. He introduced me to this amazing talent. Let the scars heal and the wounds of addiction be restored! God bless you Zak!!!
58 today and been looking at my sleeve tattoos and all the others and they remain in a time frame and seem to hold me at that place and time… then I look up and in the mirror and barely recognize the face looking back at me…thank you for this ,, it’s like a beautiful tribute 🤝💪🏻
I have been a rock ‘n roller all my life and I am 60 years old. I was locked up in prison for 28 years and I heard your music about eight months ago for the first time and I am so hooked. Zak, I can feel your pain and I pray for you to God in heaven, the son of Jesus Christ. Not to mention, in my eyes you are the baddest guitar player ever! You’re awesome Zak
Something so magical with your soulful voice, you speak to my soul....you feel me, I have been there ....the scars that heal but never mend... so powerful Zakk! ❤ You truly are a living legend! Thank you!
"scars" of any kind are an ever present reminder of what "was"....this song is such a beautiful tribute.
Look at the ring
I haven't seen my son in years and it kills me a little more each day. I've been playing Zakks songs for over thirty years.his book of shadows 11 has pulled me through and keeps me playing and praying.thank you sir for the songs.can't wait to find the road back home. Amen
We all have scars in our lives. Your talent helps to heal my scars. Thank you sir. What a god given voice and talent.
I would give almost anything to shake Zakk Wylde's hand and tell him thank you. Had a brother who was my best friend pass away 5 years ago, and he idolized Zakk for his music. Zakk Wylde, your tunes have kept me going.
Damn Zakk,you are the best Viking guy out there
Aye
fucking amazing vocalist
always thought that too
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. also one of the most powerful. I'm going through a lot of mental health issues, while also dealing with grief and addiction. this song calms my soul in a way. i know he will never see this... but i just hope he knows his words help people.
Matt, you are not alone. The struggle is real, and only reality will help.
I sincerely hope you are still here Matt! Please hang tough and seek help, for there is someone out there ( and most likely multiple) that can benefit from you and your experiences.
So much soul, so beautiful, we all have scars that heal but never mend..... Phenomenal vocals, beautiful song, awesome piano playing... I just keep coming back...you are truly a legend Zakk 💀🖤💀🖤💀
My heart has cried listening to this,This man is a musical GOD.Thank you Zakk.I have suffered most of my life being legally blind but YOU make everything ok.
I hope you know, that your music has always been a big part of my life. I lost my best friend to suicide and my grandma to lymphoma and this music has been helping me so much.
fucking hell Zakk!! You make a grown man cry.. going trough divorce n' shit and when I heard this song on COTBV I was already sold but this version is The bomb.. you're the reason I started to play guitar and it seems that record by record.. song by song you just inspire me more.. you fucking ROCK my brother!!
You're the new generation Randy Rhoads.. never forget that.. you've earned your place among the greats \m/
I lost my dad 6 years ago and my brother last year. Every time I hear his voice it heals me a little more
I've lost 3 family members this year already. This amazing man's music is getting me thru. Thank you for your beautiful and meaningful music.
My grandson just went to see you in penticton last night. I'm old and I'm not in to heavy metal but because he loves your music and wants to be like you I was worried for his future. I just listened to some of it now and can see his point. Thanks for being a mentor for him you are phenomenal.
Say your piece, for I'll be on my way

Beautiful! Thank you Zakk for sharing your heart.
PowerThoughts Meditation Club I feel you on this song
Beautiful. Love me some Zakk.
Thank you, Zakk for sharing your fart.
Very powerful!!👍👍
Yes that is exactly what he does, he shares his heart 💜
Zakk sure can make soft rock. A well rounded musician.
Been a fan of Zach's music for many years. When I lost my sister to drugs and alcohol his song "Another spoke in the wheel" comforted me as I felt the way she felt all her life and I finally understood. Remember to love always. This is just another song that keeps her alive in my heart and mind.
Zakk is truly a gentle giant
Oh ,oh yeah say your piece and I'll be on my way... I hear ya, I feel this deeply... my will shall never break tho it may bend, yes! Keep coming back.... can't help myself... this is one of my favorites ... Legendary man, Legendary timeless music!
Rest In Peace dad. Cant believe it's been over six months. I will forever think of you everytime I listen to this song.
Zakks the man! Been listening to him for 25 yrs. Baddest, most under appreciated rocker on the planet!
My daughter died 16 yrs ago and my 15 yr old son just called me a horrible father and refused to be there for my birthday. My ex poisons his mind. The world thinks Im a fake. Ive lost empires and gave them away. Rebuilt my life again and again. Youve always been for me though Zakk. These are the scars that sleeping dogs make! Its a testament to the things the devil has taken from me and I will fight him to the very end of my days. No more time left for my propaganda! Im coming soon princess! FTW! I always hated it more than Kurt!
I which you the best brother.
I passed for very hard and evil moments too... It's better keep walking forward...
How can you lose an empire and then give it away? Sorry to knit pick, but this comment seems like you were trying to make a crescendo. Unfortunately the continuity is off. And then the god stuff feels a bit forced, doesn't fit with the beginning. Sorry for your loss and all, if it's true. A daughter dying 16 years ago and having a 15 year old son is an awkward amount of time to be having children(especially if the girl was older when passing, I apologize if my assumptions are incorrect). You're probably so old your son is having a hard time relating with you. Especially if you bring up a lost child all the time around him,. He may feel overshadowed by the child that was lost. Again no disrespect intended I just question the validity of your comment given the facts.
Hands down one of the most touching songs I've heard in quite some time. Exceptional talent 😎🇺🇸🎼👍‼️
So beautifully done~~ Love Zakk Wylde's vocals. So soft and soothing to listen to. Love the High and Low Tones of his vocals. Makes my toes curl~~So Beautifully done~ JUST BEAUTIFUL!!
this song is one of the few things that comfort me when I feel like breaking
A true talent and gifted musician. My overall favorite. Hands down
amen. life at times can drop you to knees.
I have no answers at why so many times we lose others.
thank you
I was introduced to ZW by my partner and his voice crept into my soul and it's like my life experiences were exposed and the rawness of the feelings were expressed through his voice and words.
Beautifully done Zakk, your playing and singing is phenomenal... such a beautiful song... you truly are amazing!
this song means so much to me and I have bawled my eyes out to it almost every time I hear it. Thank you for this beautiful song that so many can relate to.
R.I.P. Daddy 8-3-06
BLS was one of his absolute favorite bands ever.
there now brother!
Another class cover of his own song. The lad just keeps on getting better with age
this has quickly became one of my favorite songs ever. i cant help but get emotional when i hear it
I lost my uncle a few years back & I can say, it's truly a blessing to hear and listen to your songs n it still brings tears to my eyes because I miss my uncle and your music helps heal that pain I'm going thru ... 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Zakk has a breautiful soul! This song brings me to tears! God bless this man such a talent!
This is pulling my heart strings. Very emotional, and not many musicians can make me feel this way. Great song.
I have to keep coming back, Zakk you pull me in, you touch my soul, so beautiful are your vocals, they comfort me, your music is amazing! You are truly a legend, thank you for sharing your amazing talent... I will never be the same! Forever a fan!
One of my two favorites. Sweet Jesus is the second one. All I can say is thank you so much Zakk 🙏 so glad to have and to keep your music with me always ❤
That shot in the window was divine
Zakk Wylde on the piano. Always beautiful.
Such a beautiful man, so talented, and Zakk Wylde your singing goes right to my soul... so amazing, I feel your soul pouring out! I have to keep coming back, I need your music in my life forever! Thank you so much! Many blessings to you!
This.. this song keeps me going!!! I only play by ear, but my fiance that died 2 years ago loved when I played and this song is what I played. Love this and all of your music!
sorry for your loss , i have lost also and struggle everyday
As deep as hell, gave me a happiness feeling but at the same time a sadness either. Goosebumps!!
Going to Berzerkfest next month...can't wait to see this God again!!! So talented ❤❤❤...words cannot express how amazing he is....I fall asleep to this song every night...this song just recognizes how he is
Berzerkfest was amazing!!! Come back to PA Zakk!!!...if not i will follow you 🥰🥰🥰
Just posted this on my Facebook.
"This guy never ceases to impress me. Growing up with him playing with Ozzy, seeing videos of him and his brash antics back stage blowing up at this and that, to discovering BLS which is a totally different style( I didn't even know he sang at all until I heard BLS), watching him rock out with a childs Hello Kitty plastic guitar, now seeing him play piano live in an awesome ballad."
You seriously rock!
Just listened to this again for the first time in awhile. If you don't happen to know BLS,give it a listen you might just like it.
The 18 people who disliked must be Kanye West, Miley Cyrus, and Justin Bieber fans. And to all of you saying Zakk has lost his touch, yeah, that's why he's still coming out with badass albums that is better than any shit y'all listen to nowadays. Black Label Society and Zakk Wylde are legends who are gonna be here a little while, and if you don't like 'em keep your face shut, don't listen, and stop saying shit about him. If him/they suck, then why are you wasting time (like I'm doing for some reason, but in his favor) posting junk? Because you're ignorant and have given in to shit that is now considered music.
Daniel T
why is it just fine? when it is a song that mourns the loss of a loved one? this isn't just music

You have Ssg in your youtube account name, you are such a fucking tool....
49 bro
Thank you Zakk, I am very grateful to you since 1995 and I feel that especially now you share a very personal part of you in your music. Your last works are great, first they bring pain and then they cure... but such songs help to keep those good days with best friends...
...best modern day Druid ever! Thank you Zakk for your presence on this planet. Thank you for sharing your soul. We'll do it again in the next life too. Honoured.
Buried my dad bout 3 days ago...I cant describe hate n pain but this melody hits every chord regardless.love u zack
i'm here again to touch the heaven through your voice
zakk wylde is the best of all 💗
The best ever.
So humble
So talented
So real
No fillers
Love you Zakk ,...you have made a huge impact in my life.
Several years ago I heard In This River for the first time. I played it over and over. This October 3rd, now as a tradition, I will listen to it several times again that day. I know what means, but I must say, I too have made it in a way a dedication. I dedicate it to the 18 brave men that gave their lives on October 3, 1993 in Mogadishu Somalia. I saw you do In This River live in Sioux Falls South Dakota. Needless to say, I broke down in a pool of tears. Now, Scars reenforces In This River. My soul and spirit are once again touched deeply with your words. God Bless.
Zakk is the absolute best ballad singer and musician in my book! As a Rock Singer, he was terrific with Ozzie and Iv followed him since, my sons and now grandsons love him also!🥰
Love this big, hairy S.O.B.
Just goes to show....Never judge a Book by it's "Shadow."
Shannon Knight wow lol
Indeed, this mans talent is way overlooked. It's sad that most people will never get to experience his gift. Surely needs to be on the radio so everyone can be blessed by his music and talent.
You got that right oh yea
Absolutely one of the best songs I've ever heard! Been a big fan for years and after all that's happened to me this year this song really goes well with how I feel! I'd very much like to see more songs like this from Zakk!
Metal ballads are always awesome.:)
PhantomPianist91 yessss
Lita Ford ft Ozzy Osbourne - Close my eyes forever, check it out if you don't know this one yet
Back again, needed to hear this again.... so touching, ya got me all up in my feels, as tears run down down my face... I feel this... like the scars that heal that never mend❤❤❤
His songs, his voice and his lyrics really have a way of making someone get through tough times. Music is much better than medication!
