David was driving home for Christmas. I received the message," Mom, I am on my way way home..." Hours later, an officer was at my door telling me my son had been killed in an accident on a highway near Barrie..." David and his brother and two sisters were planning to Sky Dive on New years Day. I am sad to say only three of my four children went Sky diving ....thank you for loving my son and appreciating his music. I miss my son...
Esther Gold, David Gold's Mom
Esther Gold yw
Always. I love David's music
Esther Gold your son has written music that has inspired my own writting time and time again.
Music can make me feel so many things. This entire 10 minute song just wraps me in each of its components together like a warm hug.
Being a metal head and hopeless romantic, this song fuses those two qualities into something truely beautiful for me. I will forever love it.
David was amazing. My wife and I are writing a Dungeons and Dragons Module that is a tribute to the band. We have a Village called "Ypres Woods", a "Mount Pleasant Cemetary" and an NPC called David who assists the party members. \m/
Thank you to everyone, world wide who continues to think about our David. Together we will keep his spirit energized and he I believe will in his own way, have communication with you.
@@joshuas7713 thank you for asking. I am safe and I am well. I welcome a new day with hope that I can sense balance, inner peace and experience glimmers of joy throughout the day. Hope all is good with you.
@@EstherJussila I decided to pay hommage to David and record a cover in December. It's always around that time his records come back into rotation for me. I hope all is well for you and that you will enjoy this small token of gratitude for David's music. ua-cam.com/video/okUoI5aw6sE/v-deo.html
@Ellie dearest Ellie, thank you for your message. David did and continues to motivate, inspire and sing the words for another at a time they need to hear that message that is perfect for them. You have heard me say I call David, “ David the poet.” Many are as courageous as you to not run from challenging times but lean into and face it, and do what you must do to get on the right chosen path. It is a tough reality to suddenly realize that we can be on a lonely path, our issues are the companions, and discover that we are 100% responsible for how we react or respond to internal and external issues. We all have issues, and some are better than others to make those invisible to the public. After Davids untimely death, one of his sisters said,” this grief, this sadness is like we wear, everyday, an invisible heavy , cold, wet wool coat…” only we know the weight of that burden as we wear a public face. You know yourself best, and you know who acknowledges your challenges, and as David said,” my lyrics are for many, but mostly for those who just need to be heard.” I ask you to carry Davids brilliant torch of hope and love, as you shine your own inner light. This light is for your own path, and bright enough for others who too may be on a dim path. ☀️❤️ I feel my greatest achievement was to be a Mother for David, Michael, Laura and Marie. And now, because of David, I have become mama gold, proud of those who communicate with me. I am humble and so appreciative of the compassion, caring, and genuine words from those who miss David too! May we all in some way, feel his presence, be energized by his powerful soul and continue to find the perfect chosen path for our life. Let us all plan to go “ where there are living trees…” ❤️🌲🌳☀️
@Ellie ❤️☀️💪we welcome a new day, our day…
@@Gabriel-Cabana dearest Gabriel, what a wonderful rendition of Davids song! Thank you for singing Davids words that we not only hear but we feel those words. Another sings, “ is there love after love? “ yes, and I hope we all if even just once find the love David sings about that is,” deep and true,” my thoughts, never regret or apologize for love that was never returned. David once said, “ when I love someone, it is not so much for how I feel, but I want them to know what it feels like to be loved.” I wish for you Gabriel an abundance of all good things. Love from your mama gold
Thank you for your comments. .How lucky I am to have been his Mom for 31 years. David's siblings, Michael, Laura and Marie are like walking wounded... we all need the support of others to give us strength to carry on with David's legacy. Wonderful people have written testimonies to us as to how David was their life coach. I know , David, touched the hearts and souls of many by being courageous to sing about love and its challenges. "Celebrate life"...Esther Jussila Gold, David's Mom
Your son was an amazing musician. Everyone I’ve ever shown his music to has loved it. There has been no music in my life that has ever been as influential on me as David’s music. Stay strong
@@matthiasdjveitmanndajenth5365 Dear Matthias, thank you for your message. I believe people discover David and his music at the perfect time for them. I truly hope David will continue to inspire and motivate you and help you find the perfect chosen path for you. as David said," life is not the destination, life is the journey." For me, I now am on a path of sorrow with no end, no destination, but I am daily recognizing glimmers of joy that coexist with grief.As time goes by, I feel more love than pain, but, I accept and understand living without my son, some days try to bury me under an avalanche of mixed emotion. May we all live a life with meaning, be remembered and remain as unforgettable like David. I wish we could love him back to life, but cannot, but we can carry Davids torch of hope and love, as we shine our own inner light too, lighting our own path, and bright enough to cast light for others who may be on a dim path. stay safe, stay well, and," love the living...:" your Mama Gold
@@EstherJussila Esther, thank you for your insightful words. They truly mean more to me than you could ever know. I've written many essays that reference David's works, because of how much your son and you have taught me. It's difficult for me to find words that describe my gratitude towards your family. I agree with what you said about David's music finding us all at the right moments in life and would add that his music has always been there for us all. Having a rough slice of life has always given me a deeper appreciation for his music. The ordering Grey Skies and Electric Lights, the ultimate beauty David shows us with Finality, and his ability to make Alternate Ending seem like a lullaby lulling us to sleep. As David once sang, "it is a talent of the soul
to discover the joys in pain". I feel that without context this provides us a very important lesson: on the darkest of nights we have the light of knowing that there are thousands of us who were helped by David. To me, my daily glimmers of joy that coexist with grief were David's music that gave me hope that I was not alone. Thank you so much for the wisdom you've given us.
@eF Ka ohhh so comforted to know David lives in your heart and loving soul. Age is an attitude and I tell my children and others I feel like I am now middle age. Though biologically in the developmental,stage of older adult, I want to believe I am just getting started, lots to see, think about, hear, do and hope for. I will continue to believe as Davids sings, he is my motivation, he inspires me, “ I am with you here, I am here with you..” ❤️☀️
I'm sure David cared for us all as you care for him. I wouldn't have experienced half my life, nor be as ready for the future if not for the messages he conveyed. Brilliant musician but outstanding human being. A mentor and friend many of us never knew, talked to or met but he is in all our hearts
Take your time to learn about my son David. Please share David's talent with your family and friends. David loved life and appreciated nature. Was ambitious, full of ideas, and did what he had to do to achieve his goals. A young man wise beyond his age. Courageous to sing about love and love lost. We learn to live with this huge loss. David was loved world wide....WE will miss him forever.
David Gold, David Gold, David Gold \m/
Hello Mama Gold, I just wanted to reach out again. Not sure you remember me, but we exchanged comments here a few weeks back. Here I am, listening to David belting out this haunting tune. I scanned the comments to see that you’d asked us to share this music. I thought you should know that I have spread Woods of Ypres like wildfire. I got my friend into them, he showed his sister and she became enamored. My husband and I listen regularly. We showed our friends Tim & Sara. David’s voice is like salve to my soul in the troubled times I’m traversing. There isn’t any other band whose music I’ve connected with quite like this. Thank you for blessing the world with your son. I wish he could’ve stayed with us much longer than he did. Yesterday was my late husband’s birthday and I’ve lamented several times that I never got to show him Woods of Ypres. He was the bassist for a metal band. Although he didn’t always like the recommendations I made 😞 I know he would’ve treasured WoY. Anyway, sorry for the word vomit. I hope all is well with you and that you have a lovely weekend.
Another great lead singer lost before his time.
Yeah! Great singer/songwriter, what happened? does anyone know? I did hear that it was suicide. I'm not sop sure. Shame tho' a sad loss. I like him. IainUK x
@@iainswales1903 with those lyrics prob he was but I don't know neither if he killed himself or something else happened
@@Deathslinger666 I didn't see the Highlighted comment from Esther Gold before I wrote this, David's Ma' explains.
imagine a tour with these guys, katatonia and type O negative
As soon as i read this i got off my chair and slipped on my seman
Yes with TYPE O NEGATIVE, LIFE OF AGONY, HIM (1998)
:( It'll never happen.
David Gold, the frontman of the band was killed in a crash back in 2011. He was only 31. I only just discovered this band, and I'm feeling this sense of melancholy at the tragedy of that.
Add in Sentenced and Moonspell. It'd be perfect.
he died*
74 yr old Kiwi just found this loving it thanks 🎉🎉
Here I am and crying my eyes out because of Esther Gold's grieve. We will never forget your son !!! Much love.
His voice remind me to another great singer, Peter Steele.
its odd, i hate Type O Negative but i love Woods Of Ypres - some of my friends is almost killing themselves because they dont get how i can have such different feelings for those 2 bands
i was just listening to them earlier and i never relaized how much he reminds me of peter until today!! but he really does.
Definitely see the comparison like this band
"When I no longer serve you, just let the memories die"
Sorry David, but that's one thing I won't respect. R.I.P.
He still serves me though.
Autumn is here. I find myself listening to this band more around this time of year.
Fuck you space commies.
Autumn and Winter...especially if it's raining ^_^
LadyHylian the same happens to me but with Amon Amarth and Eluveitie.
Welcome back my friend
Its not seasonal for me but I still find myself constantly returning to this band at least on a yearly basis.
RIP Gold .. You will always be remembered ! \m/
+TheMetalhed82 That he will be He was a great man with a lot to give humanity..
Dearest Metal Gear, May David continue to inspire and motivate you ! Please become David’s living monument and carry his brilliant torch of hope and love! Love from your mama Gold
I just discovered this band today and they're incredible. I can't believe David Gold died, he was an enormous talent. I'm so grateful for the albums he left behind.
Curse all those who were so vain
Who felt entitled to hold a place on the earth
As a grave for their remains
But no monument for me, please... I am not one of them
I didn’t need it in life, I won’t need it in death
Oh... oh... oh... kiss my ashes goodbye
When words become irrelevant
And you start to feel as though you’ve been misled
Keep me out of sight, leave me out of mind
When I no longer serves you, just let the memories die and move on
Oh... oh... oh... kiss my ashes goodbye
Oh... oh... oh... kiss my ashes goodbye
Oh... oh... oh... when I die... kiss my ashes goodbye
Oh... oh... oh... when I die... kiss my ashes goodbye
Some of us look for a long time to find the words to express the magnitude of the emptiness or aching inside. Some are born with the words in their hearts and the drive to share them with those who have no words. For those like David, I say thank you and I understand.
This song hurts a great deal when he says to let the memory die and move on, when David got me through so many hard times. Some people and their message deserve to live beyond their own mortal coil, and because of his message I continue to exist. Thank you David, and thank you Esther for helping us all that find support in his message and memory.
Rodrigo Brasil, te dedico essa, sempre quando escuto essa música lembro de vc, saudades infinitas. ❤️
We all do😔
still coming here - 2019
angerkain 🤜🤛
Is another year (2019) without him and no new music from him. :(
Dearest Griggs, thank you. may David continue to motivate and inspire you.❤️🦋
I lost the love of my life 13 days ago and this was one of his favorites 💔
This makes me think of everything
Yes
Dearest Saaataan, Thank you for your comforting words. David's lyrics from his heart are felt and understood by others with tender hearts...I miss my son. I allow myself to feel this ache that no words can describe. I emotionally bleed as I witness David's Brother Michael, and David's sisters Laura and Marie struggle with processing this loss. We need the support of David's fans to actively keep David "Immortal," by listening to his music....
respectfully Esther ,David's Mom
This album has helped me so much as an athiest dealing with death and grief. It helped me accept oblivion and that death is a natural part of life. That dying I'm doing my part to give back to nature and to keep a balance. I accepted my mom's death a whole lot better understanding parts of her body is incorporated into this world. We shed cells and out are fed upon by insects and bacteria. Our chromosomes and protein are absorbed by other organisms and incorporated into their cells. We are made of particles that keeps getting moved around on this world and through the universe. So I see my dead loved ones continuously around me as parts of other organisms. I feel much better. Nature is so much grander than a God.
"Keep me out of sight, leave me out of mind...
when the thought no longer serves you
when I no longer serve you, just let the memories die (...and move on)
Whoa, kiss my ashes goodbye
Whoa, when I die...kiss my ashes goodbye"
Kiitos Veikko,Yes both my parents came from Finland. Thank you for listening to David's music. Share David's music with your friends. Best to you...Esther Gold( David, Michael, Laura and Marie's Mom(
Listening to this for the first time in years. Reminds me now of a friend I lost in 2016. Pray for David's soul, and my friend, Kyle's.
A wise man. We don't keep those for long do we? His words, direct and heartfelt, bless his family and to them long life and happiness. He was a hero of mine.
great band lost main singer!!
What I like about woods of ypres is the fact that there is always a speck of light in the lyrics. Sure everything sounds heavy and depressing, but I always find a great deal of hope and happiness in the lyrics... thanks for that Mr. Gold.
RIP...great musician
Can't believe has passed so many years since i heard these songs for the first time, was a month before his death RIP.
Sounds like this, sounds like that. How about ...they sound like Woods of Ypres.
yeah they do....whats up with that? .....i mean . like .....woah......
sounds like heaven!
What about this and what about that? Don't you remember the best band? You're right, they are just phenomenal.
Yeah ikr
Hello Esther, I just wanted to inform you of how much your son impacted my life. his music has gotten me through rough times, and I truly respected him. I was devestated upon hearing about the tragedy. Music will not be the same.
Rest in peace David, You will not be forgotten.
- Tanner Huotari
RIP DAVID! I'm a 4'4" person in a wheelchair and I've listened to woods of ypres off and on for a few years now and it has helped me through a lot of times being depressed cause of my situation and such and through relationship problems and more. A great voice? Not at all... More like one of the BEST voices!
great band
great song,remarkable discography short but amazing
these songs will be eternal
Can't believe it's been 8 years since his death. It really makes me depressed man, but I know that his music will live on forever.
Thank you Aaron...Yes, David was a great Canadian singer. I have a need to some how continue to share my son's talent, his wisdom and courage to sing about real emotions, love, love lost, disappointments and hope. Please learn more about David, share his music with your friends, talk about David and think about us, me, David's siblings, Michael, Laura and Marie who struggle with living life with out David. Follow your dreams, be true to yourself,..ADORA VIVOS
rip Gold! respect to you for being a metalhead! and yes its a sad thing to loose someone who i just discovered whos so good at what he does and whos so great. and just as you see the comment it breaks up
Your music saved my life. Thank you. Rest well, David.
He was so beautiful, love this song, listen to it almost everyday!
I haven't stopped listening to this album since I bought it about 4 months ago.beautiful and honest.
this Guy's voice is nice
was nice
@@Skockodrakce dead or alive... i can still hear their voices, as many times as i want.... so it IS nice. and WILL BE so
Thank you Metal, may David continue to inspire and motivate, rest in power my cherished son!
Jeepers, this is so sad, just as Woods of Ypres was finally maturing and cleaning up the sound they worked so hard to perfect, the tragedy of losing David Gold comes to be. I can't even express how sad and upset I was when I learned of his death three weeks later if only because I was blissfully unaware until then. I truly, truly hope that his memory lives on in all of us. RIP David
\m/♥.♥\m/
Rest In Peace David Gold
Beautiful song, amazing band, a legend missed!
Life is just pain and piss; it's nothing that he will miss
this song makess me feel so happy because of its music and so sad because off the circumstances, RIP David Gold
There is no death. Just a change of worlds. You will live on in the awe inspiring music you gave us all.
I never got a chance to see them when he was alive, and I regret it immensely. His music has a sort of emotion and power behind it that I've never heard it before.
R.I.P. David. I never met you before, but I will remember you and your beautiful music.
2019?...the reason why I'm here is because of memories of good/bad times back, but David Gold was the one who made these songs great
R.I.P Gold, David💐
David Gold, David Gold,David Gold
I just discovered this Band...and 5 minutes later find out about the tragedy...life sucks, we should be thankful , what he's left behind will make him immortal. R.I.P and all my sympathies to the family and firends.
Happy birthday David, thanks for your music, rest in peace, we love you 🖤
I've heard some of this band, and was heavily drawn in by the evocative lyrics and delivery. I am sorry he was taken too soon, and celebrate the music he added to my life
the perfect mix between TON and paradise lost
The most talented man on the planet, bless you Esther
this song matches no other in my book..for the people who live a blackened doomed life u know what im talking about..we have that emptiness that we will never fill..and we will die with that emptiness so this song fits us
favorite band, tragic loss.
Today marks ten years. David's music has gotten me through some of the worst and most difficult times in my life, his lyrics and themes always somehow perfectly mirroring how I was feeling at the time. Regardless of what this song says, you will never truly die, always living through your music and in the lives of those who have connected with it. We miss you. Rest in peace, and thank you for everything.
i still remember him too
after hearing this powerful song i bought woods5 straight away and let my friends listen to it, most of them dont listen to metal at all, but at least 3 of them love this band now. i just regret never having the chance to see them perform live. at least the music will never be lost.
Let's talk about that solo at 3:30. It's right up there with solo off "Fade to Black." It's enough to bring the strongest man to tears.
Kiss My Ashes (Goodbye) has the greatest, most kick-ass guitar solo of the 2010s thus far, hands down! I have yet to find something even close to it.
Crying...the best song ever...even it is the last i will ever hear...thanks David Gold...you thought me everything you could...bey
I fall asleep to Davids voice everynight,some songs i still get choked up while listening to them...he was metals gentle giant....its so haunting to listen to the lyrics..its like he knew..he was ok with the thought of death and this was his way of saying that he's still here,he's at peace...He will never be forgotten...RIP Dave..my little sam crenshaw
This is the band I've been searching for... only to find that David Gold passed away a little over a month before I "discovered" them :'( It's strange how new I am to this band and yet they have influenced me so much. Not a day goes by in which I don't listen to/sing along to Woods of Ypres. The great ones die young. R.I.P. David Gold, Layne Staley, Peter Steele...
We miss you David \m/
Dear Weather, I am proud to say David is my son. He amazed the world!!!He is truly missed. Many people's lives were altered when they learned of David's death. Best to you...continue to listen to my son's music.
A moment of silence for David; but not one moment more. The living are here to be adored.
It’s just sad to listening someone’s voice that gone
Rest in Peace
You are one of the greatest musicians of all time!
Dear readmyscars, Thank you for the message. David had visit Finland and shared many memorable moments he had with relatives. Continue to enjoy my son Davids music. Please keep in touch. Continued communication with David's fans and friends gives us comfort. Truly, Esther Jussila Gold
Your son is an inspiration and a crutch to many people.
His music will live on like any true artist.
Know this,he will be sorely missed by us all.
I go walking late at night, Just Woods of Ypres, the night and I. I often feel alone despite all of my friends, girlfriend and family. I don't know why, I have always felt empty. But every time I step outside of my door, put my hoodie on and press play I no longer feel empty. As if someone breathed life into my lungs... as if somebody understands.
To those of you who want to immortalise him; listen to the lyrics of his songs.
You need to understand one thing. Being an artist makes you immortal in a way, whether you want/like it or not. It's more about not glorifing people when they're dead.
@@Fari12148 "Shouldn't worship the dead", yeah?
Gold band!!!! O_O

Greatest musical genius to walk the earth 🤘 rest in peace David we need you now more then ever.
Thank you for your kind message. Enjoy learning more about my son. Please share his music with your friends.
Amazing solo,amazing song,amazing band.
I think they were on the verge of real fame, maybe bigger than any other band of this genre
I cannot believe some of you have the audacity to argue back & forth over such things. Listen to the music, shut your traps, and appreciate & miss this man as many of us do
I'm still here listening in 2021, you're amazing David Gold
So many times I listen the song, just to hear the chorus
Varg will forever be in my heart,i will never forget burzum,although not a band anmore,i will still never forget it,it is because thats where Varg came from,thats what made him famous.
What a lovely song for a bad day
Marvelous, no more words to describe this beautiful piece of art !
Rest in Peace David Gold. You will always be remembered.
God blessed this man with beautiful arts through music Rest In Peace brother
Vocalist sounds so much like Peter Steele, I love it
This song remember me to the old paradaise lost. Good band
R.I.P David Gold :(
This song makes me think and makes me abit sad ...but also gives me hope in some odd twist of events!
RIP David Gold. I just started listening to your music recently and I am so sorry I am just be finding your music after you passed
Her dinlediğimde ıslıkla eşlik etme isteğimin geldiği şarkı..
[Verse 1]
To mourn the end is to say goodbye
Not to yearn for that which we will never have again
We cry for our life together - because we know it will end
And we try to understand, how we could ever love again
[Chorus]
Save your tears, at the end of our time...
We've cried enough in our lives, at the end of our time
Just kiss my ashes goodbye
[Verse 2]
We miss them so much now that they are gone
Took them for granted for living, so long
We read their words again, and we listen to them again
As we start to understand, what they were trying to say, all along
[Chorus]
Ohhhh, save your tears
At the end of our time, kiss my ashes goodbye
Whoa! Kiss my ashes goodbye

Everytime I listen to Woods of Ypres in my car alone, David is sitting right beside me. It's true, I can feel his presence. RIP man.. I wish I could have seen you play live.
dude, its like type negative and anathema banged and this is their offspring,
RIP David.
When i first heard this band i thought "holy crap i never thought i'd find another band like type o negative!" And then i heard about the sad passing of David. He's up there rocking with Pete Steele!
So sad
Metal's Requiem-truly. The last album of a legend, and a tribute to all of his work. It's amazing that only two men put this album together-it sounds amazing. Probably one of my fav. Metal albums of all time
All our thoughts go out to you, Esther, and your family.
I just recently discovered Woods of Ypres and David's music and wonderful voice and words. It's a shame when a mother loses a son and it's also a shame when the world loses such a talented musician. But his music made him immortal. Maybe that thought will help you a bit to overcome the pain.
All the best and my condolences.
