Dear Ian, and others, David said,” there are messages in my music for those needing to hear them.” I hope David will continue to inspire and motivate . Even the songs that seem to be dark, have a glimmer of hope and based on love.
"I hope David will continue to inspire and motivate", Mrs. Gold, I hope you know your sons music will always continue to motivate and inspire others. Woods Of Ypres has been my favourite band since I was 12. I am now 26. I can be at all time lows in my life, or on cloud 9. And his music will always give me the motivation I need to carry on
I love seeing the comments you make, they give us more understanding into this brilliant artist. Please continue, they mean a lot to me and so many others.
This is what David had to tell about the song: "Having lived in an apartment on the edge of Mount Pleasant Cemetery in Toronto, I had developed a fondness for it from seeing it in the distance on a regular basis and also from a few visits inside the gates. There had come a period of time when I had been doing some soul searching of sorts and had made a habit of going jogging in the cemetery after work as a form of therapy. It was June, it was hot, the cemetery was beautiful and its beauty crushed me every time because everything hot and beautiful only reminded me of her, even more. It was during this cemetery jogging therapy that I realized that my old self no longer had a future. Upon that conclusion, I felt as though my previous self had been buried there and my new self would need to be reinvented somewhere else. The old me had to die so the new me could eventually, someday, maybe, actually thrive, again. "
Today nine years have passed, from the accident. Still one of the most important bands for me. Alot of good memories with their music. Rest in peace David. Your work never be forgotten.
I listened to this song with my husband a week before he passed away. I always loved this song, but never imagined I would relate to the lyrics. Its been over a year now, after spending 22 years building something, only for cancer to take him in four months. I find myself coming back to this song because the grief had become so unbearable, it took me to such a dark place. David lives on and thank god he existed because its helped me carry on
Hope you’re still going strong. Don’t ever forget Jesus loves you and always remember the Holy Ghost is here to guide, protect, and comfort us. Lean on Him, the Father loves you and knows your pain. Don’t ever give up.
Its 2024 and I will forever treasure this song as it got me out of very dark times over 10 years back R.I.P. brother, may all who dwell in darkness find their way to adapt and overcome their struggles, peace!
Dear Caldore, take time to learn more about David. He had so many plans after we were to celebrate Christmas. He had a European tour booked, agreed to a teaching job in Dubai, he had started to do work on a solo album. ( much like Nick Cave) . Now... the future has forever changed. ). I hope David will inspire and motivate you as you travel on your chosen path , on your journey.☀️
Dear unexplained, thank you fir your comments.. your words comfort me.. I will miss and love my son more today than I did yesterday. Having others recognize his awesomeness , comforts me. ❤️
Your son was an amazing artist. Gone too soon, but I have his music in so many formats and on so many devices I'll never be without it. It speaks to me like few other bands or artists do, and resonates on a deeper level. His self expression is our joy and strength. Holding on. Take care Mama Gold xx.

over the last 10 years woods of ypres has gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life. at times when i felt broken and alone, David's voice and lyrics always carried me out of that place. no matter where i go or what i do in life i always find my way back to the woods. they say laughter is the best medicine, its not. its woods of ypres... always and forever the legacy lives on through us from now until the end of time. god bless you and thank you for raising such a beautiful soul.
Dearest Justin, thank you for your message. I appreciate all who help me to keep David’s spirit strong. I ask those who admire him and who recognize his humble genius ways.

I ask those who miss him, to become his walking man number, to hold his brilliant torch of hope and love. Wishing for you to find the perfect chosen path for your life journey. Hug from your mama Gold .
I've been trying to remember the name of this band for about 8 years. The only thing that had stick to my memory was the greener background and the dark guitar tone. Oh man, I also remember that I heard the vocalist had passed away... That was the only info I had... Today, after listening some twelve foot ninja, suddenly UA-cam just suggested it in a playlist. What a relief.
This song has come full circle for me, it was my comfort in a dark depression and suicidal ideation to now being happy to have let my past go and let the old me die in order to move forward and grow, that’s David’s true meaning in this song. 🤘🏼
came here after many years just cause some random piano made me remember this song. after reading your comment i realized it's the same for me. happiness to everyone
I have just literally found this band, it's the first song I've heard and loved it, so I googled them. I was devastated to read that the singer had died in a car accident.. I'm hearing words "I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken so suddenly" and at the same time reading that he's really gone..Believe me or not, but I cried.. Such a young, handsome, talented man, he could have written so many beautiful songs, he could have just lived, but I guess it was not meant to be for him.. Damn, it's such a tragedy..
He did write many beautiful songs. Everything he wrote he put his heart, his soul, his feelings, his emotions and his experiences into 100%. Lost him way to early.
+ReBella Pavel actually a lot of their songs just talk about this topic, but David is the singer you see in this video, the one with that amazing beard
Dear I bleed whiskey and others, thank you so much for helping me to keep David as unforgettable. I am doing my best to have my grief and glimmers of joy coexist. We live deeply so it is a normal Reaction to grieve deeply. It is up to all of us to be 100 percent responsible for finding a perfect chosen path on our journey. We all will face many challenges and changes in life.
I have cried my heart out listening to this song like a 1000 times, this band was awesome...David captured the essence of sadness and made it music... RIP
Dear Artie and others who send yo me comments about our David. I ask all you who miss and love David to be his walking monument. Share his talent, his power, his passion and “ live the living..” including you! Self respect, self care and I hope David in some way motivates and inspires you to get on the perfect chosen path for your journey... love from your mama gold❤️
Hey mrs gold, I've been listening to this song so often and I keep looking for your comments here. I just discovered all about David a few weeks ago and I feel so sad for him yet I feel so amazed by his talent and voice and the legacy he left us. much love ♥️♥️♥️
Haha XD ... It is a cool beard & it looks right on him...if you get what I mean...anyone can wear a beard but if your not a manly man then it looks off.
Like the song or not, David was a wonderful man who deeply cared for his family and friends. Anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him will attest that he was one of the most genuine, polite, and sincere beings to ever grace this earth. He is deeply, deeply missed every single day.
Dearest 86 Paul, , thank you for your message. It truly comforts me to receive supportive compassionate words from those who Honour our David.I hope you now and again, feel Davids energy near you.Stay safe, stay well, and focus on self care and follow your dreams.
Capn.... thank you for your comments. So glad you found David. I truly believe people find David when they need to hear some of this messages in his music that are meant for them at this time of their journey. Take time to watch his interviews, other videos and let “ David the poet,” live in your heart and loving soul. ❤️
I'm lucky I got to see him a week or two before his passing in a little bar in LA , I was lucky because his songs and how he sang them will always haunt my memory , I remember walking up to him and asking if he was David and he said yeah , so I stayed and watched them play with only a handful of people . then I learned of his death a week or two later . pretty sad maybe I made his day .
Been a fan of them for over ten years, even today i can't still get myself together everytime i listen to them which is 2 3x time per year because i always start crying, and this is the first time i am listening to them this year, and i am already in tears... David Gold was a god walking among us, He is the read definition of Mother Nature or the father... The pain i get everytime i listen to WoY... no words
Ratcliff The truth is i don't think theres any irony, but that he knew soon or later he would be the next one, He wrote songs about people who lived or surrounded him that died or passed away in tragic deaths. His friends from childhood or people he met as an adult and drastically had a shit outcome as a stupid death out of nothing. In a sense he was basically death, Who ever he hanged out with, would turn out dead soon or later and that his time would come soon aswell, And it did, You might find my next words hilarious and stupid but this dude could have been a real saint and he him and we all interpreted someone who just writes music about deaths.. even tho as an atheist, some of us who walk the earth seem to have a true unique religious path in their way that was set for him or any of us to have our entire life. And David was one by the looks of it.
Natasha Zinkiy well,it was joke, its like Dead who shot himself and Chuck Schuldiner from Death, who is now dead. Valfar from Windir liked the cold, guess what, he froze to death, Somnium from Finntroll who fell from a bridge, and that was a bit fun, troll lives under bridges and he died under one. De mortuis nihil nisi bonum, im sure David was a nice guy.
Ratcliff name one musician who wrote about death that won't die one day, I'll wait, it's not irony that he died, he would have died even without writing the song
Even though I had just discovered Woods of Ypres a few years ago, their music really impacted me like no other, it has helped me through my depression and through my toughest years. David's lyrics are so unique and meaningful. Thank you for your time and the effort you put into making this work David, you'll never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
I listen to this song every day. Few times. Last 2 years. Do not know why, but for some reason it helps me through my hell. Thank you Woods Of Ypres...Thank you David goran
Dearest Glitch, thank you for your message. I am Comforted to know you have a bit of Davids soul safe in yours. May David always be part of your chosen journey.hug from mama gold
I've been listening to your son's band songs for almost 10 years and I'm terribly saddened that I didn't catch any of his concerts or posts on social networks. Imitating him, I started playing the guitar. His songs helped to get through the deaths of friends and parents. No matter how bad my mood is, I know that at any moment I can watch a video where he pulls a kitten from the ceiling and see a happy and smiling person I never knew. The contrast between the lyrics of his songs and the person that I see in the video helps me realize that tomorrow will be better than today, no matter what happens. Woods of Ypres has had a huge impact on my life, and if a person lives as long as he is remembered, then David Gold will live until I die, and longer.
@@consthanetinesergson623 thinking about you as you lovingly remember your parents and your friends. Thank you for your message to me. Oh those who knew David well , enjoyed his humour, his quick wit, his ability to do impersonations! You may have read, David had three university degrees, and was so self driven, to learn and do his best to reach excellence. His stage personality was to give the best show he could for his audience, then afterward, become David of many dimensions, adapting to those various life experiences, unplanned and planned ones. It comforts me to know you and so many others share how David did and still does inspire and motivate you , believe the mystery of the future can be exciting when we have hope of better days. I am glad you keep a bit of Davids spirit safe in your loving soul. Be open to his lyrics,” I am with you here, you are here with me.” Hug from your mama gold
Dear Chicken, thank you fir your message. May David continue to be the “ treasure,” and wishing you will always feel his presence when you say his name or play his music☀️
Mount Pleasant Cemetery is a cemetery located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the early 19th century, the only authorized cemeteries within the city of Toronto were limited to the members of either the Roman Catholic Church or the Church of England Canadian Metal is amazing...So proud to be Canadian!!
Dearest Quarry, thank you for your message. We can carry his essence in us! Thank you for keeping David’s spirit energized by you remembering David. Your message comforts me ❤️wishing for you to feel peace and joy.
I discovered this band on october 2023. After many days of listening on Spotify i thought to search on Internet about them, and it was the horrible surprise when i found that they no longer exist since 2011.
Dearest Cihad, I have often commented that I truly believe those just getting to know David and feeling a strong connection are finding David at the perfect time in their life. I read somewhere that when life seems to be going well we enjoy the music, and when life presents some challenges, we listen to the lyrics. I often when I hear sone song think, I was supposed to hear those words this moment. 1 want to believe , that there is another dimension after this life that we only know about. I am not in any hurry to get there. Until That time we all are responsible to seek balance in all our health dimensions !( physical, emotional, intellectual, social snd spiritual). I am comforted to know that David is in your heart and in your loving soul. ❤️😁☀️
I needed this so bad. Just came across this song , I'm fucking blown away and the harmony that is these guys and David's words basically just saved my life from doing something real stupid. This band had the ability to help one process the pain and hurt of life. Not many bands can come close to that.
Dear Jose, thank you for your message. I am glad David communicates with you by having his songs show up for you . Yesterday, after I acted on something focusing on justice, a powerful message came from David , sudden change in the skies, “ grey skies and electric light,” I smiled and thought,” I am here with you , you are here with me.” 💪😁❤️
To Esther Gold and the woods community. I know it’s ten days before David left this world but I feel now is the right time to post this comment. I discovered this band about late September of this year. And learned about this great band. And I would like to say David has help me and I can say this many in this community with mental problems or coping with loss or just the struggles of every day life when I ever have a bad day I will sit and listen to Woods of Ypres. David just knew what to say his words speak to many people not just that but I can now say this band is tied with my favorite band of all time. But we are not here to talk about that. I would like to thank Esther Gold on her still communicating with the community. And I can say that for all and finally I as I right this I’m listening to Grey sky’s and Electric light and listening to Davids words and he’s right when he said “We miss them now so much that they are gone. Took them for granted for living so long. We read words again and listen to them again as we start to understand what they where trying to say” now we all understand Rest In Peace David you will be missed.
Woods truly is a hidden masterpiece of a band. Nobody will ever sound like them, and nobody will ever be able to convey the emotion and power in David’s voice. Rock In Peace David, you’ll never be forgotten.
Ever since I discovered Woods 5 a year ago they have rocketed to my top favorite bands. The legend of David Gold continues to grow and he will not be forgotten. Though sad, his words are a comfort to those of us going through hard times. Only those who are sad will understand how relating to David’s sadness actually helps us feel seen and understood and thus a little better. David sharing his darkness is actually a light to so many, and over time more people will discover his genius. He gave so much more in a short time than most do in their longer times. We celebrate him and love him.
I discovered Woods of Ypres just a few days ago. The band grabbed my attention because of “Ypres” in their name, which is a town 30 minutes from where i live. Thought it was a Belgian band at first. My god, how this band got to me. Feelings boiling up from everywhere when listening to them. Luckily cd’s are still quit obtainable so 2 of them are on their way to Belgium. 🤘 Keeping Gold’s spirit alive.
Dear Esther Gold, I think it’s so awesome that you are still here in the comment section replying to people and taking the time to do so. I hope you are doing good. I came here just to wish you well. Much love and respect. Dylan, Australia 🇦🇺
@@DP-381dearest Dylan, I appreciate your comments . I am so thankful to David’s fans/ friends for holding my shattered heart in their caring loving hearts . With help from all of you , David will remain as unforgettable.
This music is like a cure. When you start toć worry about things that aren't importnant it reminds you that being yourself is the most importnant thing. The way you feel and see the world is special because it is yours. If someone isn't respecting you it is not your fault. Be good and be yourself. David was so special and never be forgotten.
Taken so early , the man will forever be one of the greatest to never reach the full potential . Hope this and all the music he left inspires the next generations
RIP Dave! I'll always remember jamming at your house, and doing tons of shows together. Hope all is well, wherever you may be Dave! I'll never forget you.
it's 2024 and i'm here after nearly 100 times that i listened to this music last night in spotify. i read about the accident... so i'm here to say rest in peace and thank you all band members for this masterpiece.
A few days ago I started listening to Woods of Ypres because of this clip. I was curious about the name of the song and now I learn that the singer died in an accident in 2011 and the band isn't playing anymore... Sad...
Woods Of Ypres for me is one of the best bands I've ever heard in my life. The last two albums "The Green Album" and "Grey Skies & Electric Light" albums were fantastic, I have no words to describe them. I was like you when I discovered that David Gold had died, sad to know that this talent in composition and voice died with him and that those songs may never be made the same way by someone else.
This is the first song I every listened to by woods of Ypres. I remember it was senior year right before winter break I went to get tested for COVID in a weird little strip mall and this song randomly came on my suggested as I was pulling out. I remember just bawling my eyes out and listening to it over and over again. I was in genuinely such a horrible and low place in my life and this band really changed everything for me. I’ll forever love woods of Ypres and David gold
This guy has been part of my life, probably since I was 15 (23 right now). I never met him, but his songs know every piece of sadness and emptiness that has came to my life. David has always been there to tell me: dude, Move on! From Colombia. I wish to his family happiness and hope
I miss David Gold, his memory remains though and as does his beautiful music. Such talent is hard to find, I have been listening to Woods Of Ypres for years and still to this day I miss this kind of brilliant music. RIP David I certainly will not forget your words of wisdom and depth, Metal will live forever as will your music.
I didn't know this man was dead. The song took on an entirely different meaning whenever I found out. I can't stop listening to it. I started crying. My uncle hasn't got a gravestone. This world took everything from him and left him for dead and didn't even give him a gravestone. This song is kind of like a gravestone. It'll be far better than anything I'll ever get.
This is genuinely one of the best songs ever written. A tragic loss of true talent, Rest in peace Ian A beautiful piece of music that will never be forgotten. We are grateful and we love you so so much. Always...
Still one of the most touching sounds ever written. I get sad, it gives me the shivers but I still feel so much joy listening to woods of ypres. Haven't listened to them for some years but it still feels the same. Awesome music and like his mother said in some of her comments here, it feels like David's spirit lives on in his music.
Im from kuwait, found this song around 3 hours ago and i cant stop listening to it and doing my research on the band, found out that david was in kuwait around 2010 wish i had the chance to meet him, rest in peace, you were gone too soon. Much respect and love to everyone during these hard time.
The song Traveling Alone was written by DG about his time in Kuwait. He was working teaching English as a foreign language, in order to pay off debts as quickly as possible.
t's 2025, and it seems like just yesterday when I discovered this band. I was 19 years old, and now, almost 10 years later, here I am. Yesterday, I remembered this video-the woods... But most of all, I remembered David. I was so stressed because I couldn’t recall the name of the first song I ever heard. It was Kiss My Ashes Goodbye. I even asked ChatGPT! But as I kept listening to other metal songs, I stumbled upon this video again. It made me feel like I was 19 again-so happy, yet at the same time, sad because of David. This band changed me in so many ways. David, we won’t forget you. You live in our hearts and in our daily lives. Sending hugs to heaven.
2024, still coming back. RIP Brother!
Forever
Shards of Love will always be my go to. This one also.
Still coming back from Argentina! RIP David

Wow I didn't realise how long time has passed. I discovered them only a few months before his passing...it broke my heart..
I listened to this song with my husband a week before he passed away. I always loved this song, but never imagined I would relate to the lyrics.

over the last 10 years woods of ypres has gotten me through some of the hardest times in my life. at times when i felt broken and alone, David's voice and lyrics always carried me out of that place. no matter where i go or what i do in life i always find my way back to the woods. they say laughter is the best medicine, its not. its woods of ypres... always and forever the legacy lives on through us from now until the end of time. god bless you and thank you for raising such a beautiful soul.
Dearest Justin, thank you for your message. I appreciate all who help me to keep David’s spirit strong. I ask those who admire him and who recognize his humble genius ways. Take time to listen to his interviews, watch his humorous videos, and continue to hear messages in his lyrics that may be perfect for you . I ask those who miss him, to become his walking man number, to hold his brilliant torch of hope and love. Wishing for you to find the perfect chosen path for your life journey. Hug from your mama Gold .
After 12 years I still love this song and this boy who left us too soon... but we will meet again. Everyone.
I've been trying to remember the name of this band for about 8 years.
The only thing that had stick to my memory was the greener background and the dark guitar tone. Oh man, I also remember that I heard the vocalist had passed away... That was the only info I had... Today, after listening some twelve foot ninja, suddenly UA-cam just suggested it in a playlist.
What a relief.
Same here.
This song has come full circle for me, it was my comfort in a dark depression and suicidal ideation to now being happy to have let my past go and let the old me die in order to move forward and grow, that’s David’s true meaning in this song. 🤘🏼
It gives me hope to read that
came here after many years just cause some random piano made me remember this song. after reading your comment i realized it's the same for me. happiness to everyone
2024,and still hits like the first time i had the pleasure to hear it. ❤
Now THIS is how you do clean vocals in metal... :)
I came here from Katatonia… Fitting.
Timothy Adams thats what I call soft metal
@@seiwa5203 No softer than this stuff.
If you can even call it metal...
@@Metal-Possum Exactly.
I have just literally found this band, it's the first song I've heard and loved it, so I googled them. I was devastated to read that the singer had died in a car accident.. I'm hearing words "I was buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, when life was taken so suddenly" and at the same time reading that he's really gone..Believe me or not, but I cried.. Such a young, handsome, talented man, he could have written so many beautiful songs, he could have just lived, but I guess it was not meant to be for him.. Damn, it's such a tragedy..
Natalie Scabbia we all were devastated
Respect to David Gold
He did write many beautiful songs. Everything he wrote he put his heart, his soul, his feelings, his emotions and his experiences into 100%. Lost him way to early.
Natalie Scabbia cheers
He will always live through us, our love and lives and our realisation of his emotions, in whichever way we interpret them. We love you David. ❤
Why is it that every time I listen to a band that I haven't heard of and fall in love with, I find out a member passed away :( RIP David

dont listen to it?
Which one is David? I didn't realize any of them were dead....is that what this song is about?
+ReBella Pavel actually a lot of their songs just talk about this topic, but David is the singer you see in this video, the one with that amazing beard
+Įsäį Bvstøš because you are cursed
Dear I bleed whiskey and others, thank you so much for helping me to keep David as unforgettable. I am doing my best to have my grief and glimmers of joy coexist. We live deeply so it is a normal
Reaction to grieve deeply. It is up to all of us to be 100 percent responsible for finding a perfect chosen path on our journey. We all will face many challenges and changes in life.
this guy was a genius in my opinion.
R.I.P David. Love this song.
Amazing, beautiful piece of music.
"That was she said!"
Hey, I'm Prison Mike!
I have cried my heart out listening to this song like a 1000 times, this band was awesome...David captured the essence of sadness and made it music... RIP
Another that does it well. Agalloch - "A Desolation Song".
R.I.P David Gold, a great metal vocalist. He will be greatly missed.

Dear Artie and others who send yo me comments about our David. I ask all you who miss and love David to be his walking monument. Share his talent, his power, his passion and “ live the living..” including you! Self respect, self care and I hope David in some way motivates and inspires you to get on the perfect chosen path for your journey... love from your mama gold❤️
Hey mrs gold, I've been listening to this song so often and I keep looking for your comments here. I just discovered all about David a few weeks ago and I feel so sad for him yet I feel so amazed by his talent and voice and the legacy he left us. much love ♥️♥️♥️
This band is actually what got me into doom metal. This music has so much soul to it, it changed me forever.
Came for the beard, stayed for the music. Truly a magnificent beard.
+Foolish Fire dead beard i'm afraid=*(
Haha XD ... It is a cool beard & it looks right on him...if you get what I mean...anyone can wear a beard but if your not a manly man then it looks off.
+Foolish Fire
You are right Spawn.
+ReBella Pavel Without beard he was younger. >_
Xbox Jared spawn was buried too! :D
2020 and I still find myself coming here. RIP brother. You left a real impression on many people.
2022, still keep coming back as well
Like the song or not, David was a wonderful man who deeply cared for his family and friends. Anyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting him will attest that he was one of the most genuine, polite, and sincere beings to ever grace this earth. He is deeply, deeply missed every single day.
Dearest 86 Paul, , thank you for your message. It truly comforts me to receive supportive compassionate words from those who Honour our David.I hope you now and again, feel Davids energy near you.Stay safe, stay well, and focus on self care and follow your dreams.
He will be ever with us
Capn.... thank you for your comments. So glad you found David. I truly believe people find David when they need to hear some of this messages in his music that are meant for them at this time of their journey. Take time to watch his interviews, other videos and let “ David the poet,” live in your heart and loving soul. ❤️
I'm lucky I got to see him a week or two before his passing in a little bar in LA , I was lucky because his songs and how he sang them will always haunt my memory , I remember walking up to him and asking if he was David and he said yeah , so I stayed and watched them play with only a handful of people . then I learned of his death a week or two later . pretty sad maybe I made his day .
Lovely story, I like it. That is something to never forget.
Been a fan of them for over ten years, even today i can't still get myself together everytime i listen to them which is 2 3x time per year because i always start crying, and this is the first time i am listening to them this year, and i am already in tears...
David Gold was a god walking among us, He is the read definition of Mother Nature or the father... The pain i get everytime i listen to WoY... no words
AGREED....
One need to appreciate the irony that a man who write about death dies..
Ratcliff The truth is i don't think theres any irony, but that he knew soon or later he would be the next one, He wrote songs about people who lived or surrounded him that died or passed away in tragic deaths. His friends from childhood or people he met as an adult and drastically had a shit outcome as a stupid death out of nothing.
In a sense he was basically death, Who ever he hanged out with, would turn out dead soon or later and that his time would come soon aswell, And it did, You might find my next words hilarious and stupid but this dude could have been a real saint and he him and we all interpreted someone who just writes music about deaths.. even tho as an atheist, some of us who walk the earth seem to have a true unique religious path in their way that was set for him or any of us to have our entire life. And David was one by the looks of it.
Natasha Zinkiy well,it was joke, its like Dead who shot himself and Chuck Schuldiner from Death, who is now dead.
Valfar from Windir liked the cold, guess what, he froze to death, Somnium from Finntroll who fell from a bridge, and that was a bit fun, troll lives under bridges and he died under one.
De mortuis nihil nisi bonum, im sure David was a nice guy.
Ratcliff name one musician who wrote about death that won't die one day, I'll wait, it's not irony that he died, he would have died even without writing the song
Even though I had just discovered Woods of Ypres a few years ago, their music really impacted me like no other, it has helped me through my depression and through my toughest years. David's lyrics are so unique and meaningful. Thank you for your time and the effort you put into making this work David, you'll never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
I listen to this song every day. Few times. Last 2 years.
Do not know why, but for some reason it helps me through my hell.
Thank you Woods Of Ypres...Thank you David
goran
Dearest Glitch, thank you for your message. I am
Comforted to know you have a bit of Davids soul safe in yours. May David always be part of your chosen journey.hug from mama gold
I've been listening to your son's band songs for almost 10 years and I'm terribly saddened that I didn't catch any of his concerts or posts on social networks.
Imitating him, I started playing the guitar. His songs helped to get through the deaths of friends and parents. No matter how bad my mood is, I know that at any moment I can watch a video where he pulls a kitten from the ceiling and see a happy and smiling person I never knew. The contrast between the lyrics of his songs and the person that I see in the video helps me realize that tomorrow will be better than today, no matter what happens.
Woods of Ypres has had a huge impact on my life, and if a person lives as long as he is remembered, then David Gold will live until I die, and longer.
@@consthanetinesergson623 thinking about you as you lovingly remember your parents and your friends. Thank you for your message to me. Oh those who knew David well , enjoyed his humour, his quick wit, his ability to do impersonations! You may have read, David had three university degrees, and was so self driven, to learn and do his best to reach excellence. His stage personality was to give the best show he could for his audience, then afterward, become David of many dimensions, adapting to those various life experiences, unplanned and planned ones. It comforts me to know you and so many others share how David did and still does inspire and motivate you , believe the mystery of the future can be exciting when we have hope of better days. I am glad you keep a bit of Davids spirit safe in your loving soul. Be open to his lyrics,” I am with you here, you are here with me.” Hug from your mama gold
@@consthanetinesergson623 These words riing tru
Dear Chicken, thank you fir your message. May David continue to be the “ treasure,” and wishing you will always feel his presence when you say his name or play his music☀️
Mount Pleasant Cemetery is a cemetery located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the early 19th century, the only authorized cemeteries within the city of Toronto were limited to the members of either the Roman Catholic Church or the Church of England
Canadian Metal is amazing...So proud to be Canadian!!
Dearest Quarry, thank you for your message. We can carry his essence in us! Thank you for keeping David’s spirit energized by you remembering David. Your message comforts me ❤️wishing for you to feel peace and joy.
RIP. Just found them, too. I was all excited too. Adds some pretty wild depth to this song.
I can't help but wonder if David really was buried at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery.
yes guys it is for real
He was not.
He was not.
pitlepitlepit seriously wonder the same thing every time I hear this song
I discovered this band on october 2023. After many days of listening on Spotify i thought to search on Internet about them, and it was the horrible surprise when i found that they no longer exist since 2011.
Still listening in 2023, will do until
I find my own resting place. At least I'll have lived in times of amazing music like this.
2023 and forever Gold!
2024 I'm still here
I was released out of the jail two days ago, i was remembering this song inside there and singing all the time
hope you doing good brother, best of luck outta the bars.
That's the kind of doom metal that I love heavy, melodic and SAD!!!
+Gean PB93 any other bands you know that have similar songs? would be greatly appreciated
+vincent de g Try Novembers Doom, Kattatonia, My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost, Agalloch... They're all doom metal bands!! Hope you like!!
Gean PB93 Thanks, but already know all of these bands ;P
Agalloch isn't doom. They're black metal/post metal.
HideCircuit you're man, post-metal! but i think they have a little influence of doom too
Dearest Cihad, I have often commented that I truly believe those just getting to know David and feeling a strong connection are finding David at the perfect time in their life. I read somewhere that when life seems to be going well we enjoy the music, and when life presents some challenges, we listen to the lyrics. I often when I hear sone song think, I was supposed to hear those words this moment. 1 want to believe , that there is another dimension after this life that we only know about. I am not in any hurry to get there. Until
That time we all are responsible to seek balance in all our health dimensions !( physical, emotional, intellectual, social snd spiritual). I am comforted to know that David is in your heart and in your loving soul. ❤️😁☀️
What a beautiful person you are to respond to David’s fans, your words help keep his fans connected to him, therefore his legacy will live on forever
@@uptheredsjoe thank you ! I ask all those who miss and love David to help me keep David remembered and never forgotten. ❤️🦋
Dearest Pradeep, so glad you are listening to our David. I hope your hear Some messages in his music perfect for you !
I needed this so bad. Just came across this song , I'm fucking blown away and the harmony that is these guys and David's words basically just saved my life from doing something real stupid. This band had the ability to help one process the pain and hurt of life. Not many bands can come close to that.
In fact - that cemetery is a remarkable and truly pleasant place for quiet walks and recollections.
Dear Jose, thank you for your message. I am glad David communicates with you by having his songs show up for you . Yesterday, after I acted on something focusing on justice, a powerful message came from David , sudden change in the skies, “ grey skies and electric light,” I smiled and thought,” I am here with you , you are here with me.” 💪😁❤️
2023 and watching this while it snows outside. All these years latter still hits home. Thanks
This band brought me out of the doom I was in going through a divorce and my father passing in the same year .. awesome band
To Esther Gold and the woods community. I know it’s ten days before David left this world but I feel now is the right time to post this comment. I discovered this band about late September of this year. And learned about this great band. And I would like to say David has help me and I can say this many in this community with mental problems or coping with loss or just the struggles of every day life when I ever have a bad day I will sit and listen to Woods of Ypres. David just knew what to say his words speak to many people not just that but I can now say this band is tied with my favorite band of all time. But we are not here to talk about that. I would like to thank Esther Gold on her still communicating with the community. And I can say that for all and finally I as I right this I’m listening to Grey sky’s and Electric light and listening to Davids words and he’s right when he said “We miss them now so much that they are gone. Took them for granted for living so long. We read words again and listen to them again as we start to understand what they where trying to say” now we all understand Rest In Peace David you will be missed.
I'm still listening to this band for over 10 years now and I'm not even sure there is a single track i don't like at this point. R.I.P DAVID. :(
Woods truly is a hidden masterpiece of a band. Nobody will ever sound like them, and nobody will ever be able to convey the emotion and power in David’s voice.
Rock In Peace David, you’ll never be forgotten.
Ever since I discovered Woods 5 a year ago they have rocketed to my top favorite bands. The legend of David Gold continues to grow and he will not be forgotten. Though sad, his words are a comfort to those of us going through hard times. Only those who are sad will understand how relating to David’s sadness actually helps us feel seen and understood and thus a little better. David sharing his darkness is actually a light to so many, and over time more people will discover his genius. He gave so much more in a short time than most do in their longer times. We celebrate him and love him.
I discovered Woods of Ypres just a few days ago. The band grabbed my attention because of “Ypres” in their name, which is a town 30 minutes from where i live. Thought it was a Belgian band at first. My god, how this band got to me. Feelings boiling up from everywhere when listening to them. Luckily cd’s are still quit obtainable so 2 of them are on their way to Belgium. 🤘 Keeping Gold’s spirit alive.
Still missed in 2016. An amazing man and human being. Words could not describe him. Miss you David Gold.
Dear Esther Gold, I think it’s so awesome that you are still here in the comment section replying to people and taking the time to do so. I hope you are doing good. I came here just to wish you well. Much love and respect.
Dylan, Australia 🇦🇺
Dearest d j P, ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@DP-381dearest Dylan, I appreciate your comments . I am so thankful to David’s fans/ friends for holding my shattered heart in their caring loving hearts . With help from all of you , David will remain as unforgettable.
David Gold, though no longer with us, is still a living legend through his music. 💖
This music is like a cure. When you start toć worry about things that aren't importnant it reminds you that being yourself is the most importnant thing. The way you feel and see the world is special because it is yours. If someone isn't respecting you it is not your fault. Be good and be yourself. David was so special and never be forgotten.
I come back to this song damn near every week. Rest in peace David Gold! This song has helped me tremendously through my struggles.
Taken so early , the man will forever be one of the greatest to never reach the full potential . Hope this and all the music he left inspires the next generations
Woods Of Ypres will always be my Favorite band ever. No other music can touch the heart the way Woods can....miss you everyday David Gold.
David Gold's story needs to be heard by the whole world. He has been, and always will be, the single most influential musician in my life.
RIP Dave! I'll always remember jamming at your house, and doing tons of shows together. Hope all is well, wherever you may be Dave! I'll never forget you.
2024. I'll always miss you David. Thank you for this gem .
I was compelled to listen to this because my city has a large and very beautiful cemetery called Mount Pleasant.
If it's in Canada it's probably the one he's talking about.
London, Ontario, Canada.
Yeah after looking it up, it appears he was from Toronto. About two hours from here.
The best creative music are the ones we discover by accident. This band is no exception. RIP David, truly gone way too soon.
It is 2021, i'm drunk and i cant help remember this song.
Saudações do Brasil ao eterno David.

É nós meu querido.
Tmj. Mesma coisa. 2022
@Nvv ele já falou do Woods of Ypres? Agora to curioso
My only hope is that, somewhere in the ether, he knows the magnitude of his music.
May he rest in peace forever!
I miss you all guys. 11 years have passed
This still give me the strength I need in the darkest days. Thank you David, thank you.
The bridge of this song is incredibly beautiful, I cant say enough good things about the vocal delivery and I love the lyrics as well
it's 2024 and i'm here after nearly 100 times that i listened to this music last night in spotify. i read about the accident... so i'm here to say rest in peace and thank you all band members for this masterpiece.
A few days ago I started listening to Woods of Ypres because of this clip. I was curious about the name of the song and now I learn that the singer died in an accident in 2011 and the band isn't playing anymore... Sad...
Woods Of Ypres for me is one of the best bands I've ever heard in my life. The last two albums "The Green Album" and "Grey Skies & Electric Light" albums were fantastic, I have no words to describe them. I was like you when I discovered that David Gold had died, sad to know that this talent in composition and voice died with him and that those songs may never be made the same way by someone else.
Do not know why but I suggest you listen Agalloch, very long songs with deep lyrics and chords.
Thanks for the suggestion!!!
2023 and still going strong!!!
This is the first song I every listened to by woods of Ypres. I remember it was senior year right before winter break I went to get tested for COVID in a weird little strip mall and this song randomly came on my suggested as I was pulling out. I remember just bawling my eyes out and listening to it over and over again. I was in genuinely such a horrible and low place in my life and this band really changed everything for me. I’ll forever love woods of Ypres and David gold
This guy has been part of my life, probably since I was 15 (23 right now). I never met him, but his songs know every piece of sadness and emptiness that has came to my life.
David has always been there to tell me: dude, Move on!
From Colombia. I wish to his family happiness and hope
I miss David Gold, his memory remains though and as does his beautiful music. Such talent is hard to find, I have been listening to Woods Of Ypres for years and still to this day I miss this kind of brilliant music. RIP David I certainly will not forget your words of wisdom and depth, Metal will live forever as will your music.
I feel on a cloud when I listen to this song ! Perfect lyrics, guys! A masterpiece !
Good
This will never die.....still here 2021
2024 anyone??????
Yep
Since the release
Hell ya
For a very long time. Feels that way anyhow
One of my favorite bands.
I clicked on this song, thought, "Hey this sounds pretty sweet." Found out the singer's dead = Day ruined.
The singer is dead, his music lives on forever!
I didn't know this man was dead. The song took on an entirely different meaning whenever I found out. I can't stop listening to it. I started crying. My uncle hasn't got a gravestone. This world took everything from him and left him for dead and didn't even give him a gravestone.
This song is kind of like a gravestone. It'll be far better than anything I'll ever get.
Woods of Ypres really influenced me when I was dealing with a difficult time in my life. Thanks, David Gold, Rest in Peace
RIP David Gold. Absolutely love this band!
Discovered this band a few years ago. Heavy. This guy was truly Gold. RIP🤙🏾
Touches me every time..
This is genuinely one of the best songs ever written.
A tragic loss of true talent,
Rest in peace Ian
A beautiful piece of music that will never be forgotten.
We are grateful and we love you so so much.
Always...
You will forever be with us, David.
Still one of the most touching sounds ever written. I get sad, it gives me the shivers but I still feel so much joy listening to woods of ypres. Haven't listened to them for some years but it still feels the same. Awesome music and like his mother said in some of her comments here, it feels like David's spirit lives on in his music.
Talent lost but never forgotten. May it live on something to be remembered by.
Im from kuwait, found this song around 3 hours ago and i cant stop listening to it and doing my research on the band, found out that david was in kuwait around 2010 wish i had the chance to meet him, rest in peace, you were gone too soon. Much respect and love to everyone during these hard time.
The song Traveling Alone was written by DG about his time in Kuwait. He was working teaching English as a foreign language, in order to pay off debts as quickly as possible.
@@Si74l0rd thats so cool to know, thank you!
When i first showed my dad this song a few years back he had me constantly playing it on repeat
I just recently discovered this band. And it’s so sad that the singer died. I relate so much to this music for real
The solo is so good it still gives me goosebumps.
t's 2025, and it seems like just yesterday when I discovered this band. I was 19 years old, and now, almost 10 years later, here I am.
Yesterday, I remembered this video-the woods... But most of all, I remembered David. I was so stressed because I couldn’t recall the name of the first song I ever heard. It was Kiss My Ashes Goodbye. I even asked ChatGPT! But as I kept listening to other metal songs, I stumbled upon this video again. It made me feel like I was 19 again-so happy, yet at the same time, sad because of David.
This band changed me in so many ways.
David, we won’t forget you. You live in our hearts and in our daily lives. Sending hugs to heaven.
I met him at one of his concerts and he is super cool its sad he died he will be missed
