I am a truck Driver from Arizona, I was traveling interstate 10 when your friends and loved ones passed me, a few seconds later the collision with a truck with no headlights. Myself and another driver emptied our fire extinguishers....but to no avail, wished we could have done more. As i sat at the scene, I prayed for those souls I didn’t know, I thought of their families and their grief that would soon be upon them. We were their to watch over them until they were free from their last earthly hold. As I sat for those 3 1/2 hours waiting for the road to open, a wave of softness came upon me and I felt a youthful presents that made me smile and cry, on the 16th of March our niece, who was 17 was killed by a drunk driver who ran a red light, at 103 mph, I cried again for Maddy, and felt her presents now even stronger. Friday morning I learned their names and a little of who they were, when I saw their ages, it took me back to that night and the strong presents I felt. I knew it was those young men and Maddy was there, to help them on their way, as I prayed for their souls that soured up above. Their gift of music left here with us all, has helped soothe the pain which I know will always remain, I grieve for Maddy, Trevor, Stephan and Audun at such a young age makes it so much harder. I’ve prayed for the Parents for a loss, no parent should bare. I think how proud their parents must have been, and of course still are. I think of our son who is in the theater and arts, and to see his amazing talent light up the stage makes my heart soar, then I think of those parents who are left with only their memories, and my heart aches for them. Thankful I am to be able to put faces and names to the souls I met that night, as it helps wash away the sights from that night. I put on their videos and close my eyes and feel their heart and soul, that comes out through their voices with musical harmony, that could only come from family and angels on high. I know your pain and how things will never be same, I hope my words help a little, I just wanted you all to know that they where not all alone. My very deepest condolences to their families and friends, I just wish we could have done more. The Liverpool duo Her’s, made up of Stephen Fitzpatrick, 24, and Audun Laading, 25, died along with tour manager Trevor Engelbrektson, 37
Jo Fitzpatrick It’s so nice to hear from you, I think about them everyday and always will, I will leave you my email here so if you would like to talk, I’d love to learn more about Stephan, I know what your going through, i don’t want to be intrusive at all, but feel free to get ahold of me, and please give your family my very, very deepest condolences Marc
@@jyosephineanne Hi Jo, I'm so so sorry this happened and wish your family all the warmth in the world. As a fan, I'm stunned by their talent, smiling at every quip and consoled by the immense joy in all these videos. I'll be taking after their example. My deepest condolences from Berlin.
Feel cheated that I only discover this band due to tragic news. They had the songs, the talent, and that sense of fun that so few bands lack these days. Gutted for them. R.I.P.
It was almost the same with me. My girl told me about this awesome band and one week later, when i was alredy in love with this guys, she told me the sad news... My heart are still broken
Life is too short. They played in my city just 4 days ago..almost went but didn't go, telling myself "Ill see them some other time". RIP, these guys were one of a kind.
After letting the news sink in over the last few days I feel like I should share my story of meeting them twice. I flew to Dallas on March 14th with some buddies for a ppv boxing match and I was walking around the downtown deep ellum area when I noticed a building say "Her's 3-17" I had no idea and I told my friends it was a small world because I was going to see them in Seattle the following Tuesday. Fast forward to Sunday afternoon I ran into Stephen and Audun, told them I was a fan of their music and they asked if I was going to the show that night. I told them that by the time they took stage my flight back home would be boarding 😔. So we shared a few drinks and I got to pick their brains about music and touring. The following Tuesday came and I was taking a date to their show (she's a huge fan) we got there pretty early to have some drinks and to talk. I see Stephen walking over to talk to his tour manager and I yell his name and to my surprise he actually recognized me, he then called over Audon to come say hi and the thing that I can't over is how excited they were to see me again... "Heyyyy, it's the lad from Dallas!!" They were the most genuinely nice and humble guy's. I know I wasn't their biggest fan but they made me feel like we were actually friends. When I received the news a few days ago I legit had to pull over because I was in complete shock. Kept thinking to myself "I just seen them a few days ago..." I'm not the most religious guy but I truly feel that God just needed them more than we did. The sky belongs to the stars!! Rest easy boys!! You're friend, Eric
@@Rainbow_Watermelon Only discovered them today, without having heard of their untimely death, its a fucking tragedy their music and energy was and is amazing
Great story man thank you for sharing this! I could only wish I had a chance to meet them. Such beautiful souls with hearts of gold, this video and your story alone make that clear. You’re very lucky, definitely a memory that you’ll forever cherish 🤘✨
I love how they were literally just dancing and jamming out, makes the music so much fun. Life is short guys don’t take any second for granted god bless their souls
Read 1john 5:19- the whole world 🌎 is in the power of the wicked one. For now, and only for a little more time, and wickedness will be no more, and the people we love will be returned to a restored earth.
JonMinusJan wise up. Just because there was a road accident you think we’re living in the End Times? The world is a safer more peaceful place than at any time in history ffs.
I’ve been listening to random indie playlists for a few months, and every now and then, a Her’s song would come on and it was ALWAYS good. Lately, I’ve been listening to their music more than anyone else, so I finally decided to Google what the band looked like, only to find this unbelievably tragic news. I just watched this whole video and their energetic presence is so unique and powerful and I’m so sad it was cut short. The song at @15:13 instantly made me tear up, it’s so beautiful, man. This is heartbreaking. But I’m glad we can all admire what they created and continue to spread the good vibes to one another. Take care everyone, and I hope you’re having a tremendous day!
As someone who was lucky enough to see them live once it makes me really happy to see people still discovering their music. I still remember the moment I found out about the crash and I was devastated for a long time, but one of my first thoughts was how I'll never get to hear something new from them again and experience that feeling of when you first hear a new song from an artist you love and it's amazing, they really had no bad songs. I ramble, but your comment reminded of me that moment
I just discovered them by reading that they died. I really like their sound and know they would have gone far. So very sad. And they're tour manager as well. How very sad for their families back in the UK. RIP lads. Your music will live on.
Been lifelong friends with Stephen's Dad, Peter...... So upset for him and with the sad news of his sad loss. The last track here is how I will remember this great, tremendously talented duo.
hey, very very sad....tell his dad I have one of their last performances in SLC 6 days before we lost them. I have 4 to 5 videos of them if they want the videos......so sad about it.
@@pthorsley Hi ph. Its Stephens funeral this week so I will pick the right time to tell his Dad about the vids and no doubt he will want them to treasure. Mighty nice and thoughtful of you to offer and will get back to you to organize. Rather than swap personal details on a public site to get them to us, it may be a good idea to upload to YT for all to see as well? Your Thoughts please?
maccafan10 The pain he must feel, I saw a picture of Stephan and his dad they looked very tight, if you get a chance please let his dad know Stephan didn’t suffer, I was there, they had just past me, read my post, my condolences
Here after finding this band in 2024 happily watching this video thinking these guys are amazing only to read the comments and find out they passed away. I’m so gutted. So much chemistry, talent and charisma. Gone far too young. RIP 💔
I have been listening to hers a lot lately and just cant help but imagine life if they was still here and could still make great damn music ugh..really what a sad shame:(
Great songwriting, great voice, great bass playing, great sound, and they are in complete sync, totally made t play with one another. All at just over 20. And then gone. This story is making me sadder and angrier every single time I listen to them. They had such a ridiculously bright future.
soooooo very sad.....6 days from watching them in SLC they were taken from us.....such a fun up and coming band....RIP boys see ya in the next one.....
Your comment made my day. As a huge Depeche Mode fan, I immediately fell in love with What Once Was at first listening. Stephen's voice, and the bass and guitar line... simply divine. It just digs inside my soul in a way words can't express. Lovely souls.
In a single day I discovered one of my new favorite bands, then subsequently learned they have left us. I’m incredibly bummed about losing a band I didn’t know existed yesterday. I’m thankful I have at least one fantastic album to listen to. (Ah, make that two.)
it’s been a long time since i’ve cried as hard as i did at 9:58. you can see how much they’re enjoying themselves as they play Stephen’s magnum opus. absolutely gut-wrenching. Fuck, they deserved so much more. Jesus fucking Christ. They deserved so much more.
I've been listening to Her's for a few months. Yesterday I was watching their live performance of Harvey and then this morning I was almost unknowingly singing "Cool With You" as I got ready for work. Her's was pretty much the band I was going to start looking towards for new music. Decided to watch this video on my commute and then I read the comments. Basically they're gone within the span of just a few hours. I could cry, I can't believe this could happen. Rest in Peace guys, you've inspired me so much.
Louis Arias same here dude.. I just discovered Hers a few weeks ago, come to click on this vid n see the comments. I didn’t even know these guys but it’s like their music lets you get to know them in a way and its just so sad that their gone. I was looking forward to their music in the future:( RIP
Saw “Hers” last show in Austin,TX. At SXSW. The next day they were killed in a bad car crash on the way to Phoenix Arizona. I had no idea who this band was when I first saw them. But boy oh boy was I happy I stuck around and saw the whole show. “Hers” made me a forever fan, and it will always break my heart knowing they are gone. But never forgotten. Love and peace to all. 🙏
Not to sound like a broken record but I spent a long time listening to them in blissful ignorance, content with as my girl friend said, every song being a banger. Decided one night a few months ago to check youtube comments to see what other people thought about them but came up broken hearted this is the only live performance ive been able to bring myself to watch. If I start to think too much about it the tears well up every time... I promise I'll be here listening for the rest of my life
Came across them because Apple Music played their song What Once Was on my personal station. Which you hear at 7:05. Was devastated to hear about their passing because I thought they were most likely active since I hadn’t heard of them at the time prior to looking them up. 😢. I’m years late but may Stephen, Audin and their tour manager Taylor RIP. They had so much potential to be the next big thing. Such a tragedy they got taken away from us way too soon ❤️. Then I decided to listen to the full album after hearing the song and loved it.
I just cannot stop crying. I'm only recently coming across their music and I didn't know the accident had happened until I came to find their videos. I'll never heal from the news...
Aw man, I can't stop watching this - I'm so heartbroken. 'She Needs Him' is such a great song and this is an amazing performance of it. RIP, love to all.
I hate that I found a clip from this stream of What Once Was and fell in love with it back in 2022. Now I'm stuck mourning a band I never got the chance to know. I would give anything to somehow switch to a parallel universe where they're still alive and making such incredible music.
I’ve been following Her’s for a while and became so emotionally invested in this band, listening to all their songs, writing and drawing out how their music made me feel. After some time I started to wonder wether any new music would come out, so I searched up the band and found out the news from almost 3 years ago. I admit I was heartbroken, and now every time I listen to their music I’m overwhelmed with so many intense feelings for them. Rest easy boys, in another life I can’t wait to hear your unique sound again
this song was a song my boyfriend and i really loved. & now that he has passed & they have passed it hit entirely different. in a happy way and depressive way. i love that it goes goes ways. there's much life to live but it's okay to have down moments and be present in that moment. "every time is unique" cheers.
0:50 She needs him I thought you left alone last night Put to bed, my greatest fear I know I don't reserve the right But by simply hoping he's not here Please, don't say that you've seen him She's probably got her life laid out Just let me dream a little more My heart takes up all my strength No more can I think of them No more can I hold her in my thoughts Don't say that she needs him That she needs him That she needs him He probably lives alone, you know How am I ever to compare? Oh why can't she be alone for good So I can dream and never dare? Please, don't say that you've seen him She's probably got her life laid out Just let me dream a little more My heart takes up all my strength No more can I think of them No more can I hold her in my thoughts Don't say that she needs him That she needs him Nobody knows I wish she could Holding me close As if she would Nobody knows I wish she could Holding me close Holding me close My heart takes up all my strength No more can I think of them No more can I hold her in my thoughts Don't say that she needs him That he needs her I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all I want her to know He don't have it all 7:03 What Once Was I guess I knew this would happen to you Inside I did what I refused to know the truth I'm headin' back inside to sit at home with you I think I know what's wrong My friends put on their bravest face Their tails between their legs, something's out of place I bet their mothers let them know what I'm about to face Keep your mouth zipped, son Baby, I've been there before I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone And now I'm still hangin' on I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was Tell me all important stuff What's your favorite color, what makes you so tough? Please don't let go when you've had enough I'm on my knees Baby, I've been there before I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone And now I'm still hanging on I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was Baby, I've been there before I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone And now I'm still hanging on I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was Waiting for my love Waiting for 15:03 Under Wraps I can't say that I saw it comin' But it's true that I wasn't surprised It wouldn't make much sense on the inside I wish that you could've said somethin' 'Cause I know, that you're there to disguise Couldn't crack a smile and couldn't say you're fine Is it true? Living away so long You withdrew You couldn't bear to talk about it Live without it Holdin', waitin' The lonely time you wander once, they're away So you can't act content And who's to say they're gonna push you away? It means more to you, then it does to them So don't justify Living silent, under wraps And I feel like I ran with a headstart And you're only just starting to live Got a lot to gain, not a lot to give And it breaks me up to think about 'Cause I know that you don't wanna move Anything at all, just because of this Is it true? Living away so long You withdrew You couldn't bear to talk about it Live without it Holdin', waitin' The lonely time you wander once, they're away So you can't act content And who's to say they're gonna push you away It means more to you, then it does to them So don't justify Living silent, under wraps The moment that you tell them The end of where you're at And once it's set in motion You will not be looking back And what they thought was perfect And what they thought was fact Will uncover a beauty there They never could expect The moment that you tell them The end of where you're at And once it's set in motion You will not be looking back And what they thought was perfect And what they thought was fact Will uncover a beauty there They never could expect The moment that you tell them The end of where you're at And once it's set in motion You will not be looking back
5 years later, and I’m planning to play Under Wraps as my 1st dance with my husband at our wedding. We fell in love to this song, yet I will always have an ache in my heart for Her’s and their loved ones ❤️🩹✨
Just found these guy's. Feel so sad, and so robbed. The absolute quintessential band. In it for the friendship and fun, not taking themselves too seriously, but oodles of talent. RIP guy's.
I've been hearing them none-stop for the last two weeks. They are so talented, and seem so nice and down-to-earth! Today i found out what happened to them a year ago and it made me tear up. It is truly unfair when young people loose their lives. Nothing can quite prepare anyone for sudden tragic events. I hope their loved ones are all right and that we will hear their beautiful music in after-life.
It breaks my heart for the fact that I was truly fascinated watching and listening to these amazing artists only to find out after getting into the comments how tragic and heavy my heart feels.
Right when it got to 15:04 I started crying. I had never heard this song before and learning that they're gone and that masterpieces like this wouldn't be made anymore by them is a pain. Rip
Shit man...I didn't know them. Have never heard of them. After seeing this performance starting and watching they playfully play it honestly made me sad...life can be so unfair. Much strenght for their family and friends. RIP guys
I was lucky enough to see them twice before they passed. I can still remember my friend showing me this song for the first time and it changed my life, a case of right song right time. I was hooked since that moment. I couldn’t believe it when I heard they passed, but they will live when we play this for years to come and I’ll make sure that my children know this band. Thank you Hers for being the soundtrack to my teenage years and so much more
if you believe in the metaverse (not the zuckerberg version, but the one of infinite realities) then they are still here... just in this particular version it's through the music
So last month I unintentionally walked in on these guys playing downstairs at Songbyrd venue in Washington D.C. Didn’t know they were playing. I was originally there that night to attend my usual Thursday night open mic upstairs. I heard them and I immediately loved everything that was going on in that room. This English duo playing synth pop and the enthused crowd. I remember being inspired and telling myself to play music with as much passion as these guys. Then today I decided to look em up and I found out that they had died in a car crash a few weeks ago. Life is truly strange and yet beautiful. R.I.P
Its comforting to see all the comments where ppl are talking about this performance making them emotional. I say that for a few reasons but for one, I don't feel so crazy & know I'm not alone every time I see this and it fucks me up. This shit was (and still is) magical man. I really think the truth of that is emphasized by the sadness I get at points throughout. I mean I didn't know them personally, but I feel sad listening/watching because the whole time I know they're gone. Feeling that sadness is only possible when you witness or remember something beautiful that was lost. It's a bittersweet thing where you can almost only feel as sad as they have made you happy. I don't know how else to describe it. Anyhow, dear reader, I love you and I'm happy-sad right there with ya. *virtual hug* RIP
That Ricky is very much at home in Audun's hands. This version of What Once Was is unbelievable. Huge loss. Glad they put out two albums for us to enjoy.
I didn’t know about them because of their death. I was listening to their music and i was loving it so i searched them up to see their live performances only to be hit with their tragic end. I hope they’re still playing together wherever they are
They're still alive on my screen.
They're still alive in my heart.
they're alive in my ears
Living eternal through music :’)
I feel so weird seeing them dancing and singing idk why
They’re still here with us I swear they are 💖✨
They're alive in our brains
I come here everyday, just to keep them alive in my world.
Same friend same....
😢 yes ❤
🫶🏼
I check in regularly to appreciate how entertaining these guys were.
❤🇮🇪
Oh, that is so sad. You can see in this video that they really enjoyed playing music. Rest in peace, guys.
RIP
Please don't make me cry 😭inside I did what i refused to know..
Rest in peace.. They look so young..
Wait.. they passed away..?

I just watched this whole video and their energetic presence is so unique and powerful and I’m so sad it was cut short. The song at @15:13 instantly made me tear up, it’s so beautiful, man. This is heartbreaking. But I’m glad we can all admire what they created and continue to spread the good vibes to one another. Take care everyone, and I hope you’re having a tremendous day!
They're unmatchable.
Under wraps ❤
As someone who was lucky enough to see them live once it makes me really happy to see people still discovering their music. I still remember the moment I found out about the crash and I was devastated for a long time, but one of my first thoughts was how I'll never get to hear something new from them again and experience that feeling of when you first hear a new song from an artist you love and it's amazing, they really had no bad songs. I ramble, but your comment reminded of me that moment
Just heard of them...very sad...like the sound, very 80s....rip
I just discovered them by reading that they died. I really like their sound and know they would have gone far. So very sad. And they're tour manager as well. How very sad for their families back in the UK. RIP lads. Your music will live on.
Snap r.i.p so sad
yes sounds like the bands i loved in the 80s. RIP.
Reminds me of the smith's a lot
Like their future never existed.. Traffics a bitch.. What once was is so well performed here 🙄😥😓
How old were they?
Their music is so healing for me.
This is the closest I'm gonna get to seeing them live :,(
I managed to see them live before they passed away. I had a chat with them after the gig, kind people, and so much talent
This band truly channeled the power of friendship during their performances.
Been lifelong friends with Stephen's Dad, Peter...... So upset for him and with the sad news of his sad loss. The last track here is how I will remember this great, tremendously talented duo.
Let his dad know that their music meant a lot to a lot of people, what once was is one of my favourite songs of all time. RIP
hey, very very sad....tell his dad I have one of their last performances in SLC 6 days before we lost them. I have 4 to 5 videos of them if they want the videos......so sad about it.
@@pthorsley Hi ph. Its Stephens funeral this week so I will pick the right time to tell his Dad about the vids and no doubt he will want them to treasure. Mighty nice and thoughtful of you to offer and will get back to you to organize. Rather than swap personal details on a public site to get them to us, it may be a good idea to upload to YT for all to see as well? Your Thoughts please?
@@dylannn27 Will do and Peter will appreciate your kind words.
maccafan10
The pain he must feel, I saw a picture of Stephan and his dad they looked very tight, if you get a chance please let his dad know Stephan didn’t suffer, I was there, they had just past me, read my post, my condolences
Can’t even watch without crying throughout. Such a shame these two were stolen.. their music will live on forever.
7:07 is fucking beautiful😢look how passionate they were
you mean 00:00 - 21:39 ?
Ben Vdb I stand corrected my friend
so sad to see such talented people go so young. their music got me through some hard times and i'm forever thankful. RIP
Yes why couldn’t chuck and Nancy have been in that crash instead
Ricky Rick you’re an idiot and this is not the place or time.
Here after finding this band in 2024 happily watching this video thinking these guys are amazing only to read the comments and find out they passed away. I’m so gutted. So much chemistry, talent and charisma. Gone far too young. RIP 💔
It's like the Smiths meets Tears for Fears. Amazing
RIP :(
I have been listening to hers a lot lately and just cant help but imagine life if they was still here and could still make great damn music ugh..really what a sad shame:(
I just discovered them last year or 2017 and find out that they got in a car crash, RIP you lovely souls. Will miss you sm! 😓😖💔
Great songwriting, great voice, great bass playing, great sound, and they are in complete sync, totally made t play with one another. All at just over 20. And then gone. This story is making me sadder and angrier every single time I listen to them. They had such a ridiculously bright future.
I feel that too. We're all gonna die though. What they made was... IS... amazing.
Smiths in the guitar, little bit of New Order in the cool use of electronic, and a little voice of Dave Gahan, pretty sweet.
ph dawgy I like that, I like that a lot
Rip
soooooo very sad.....6 days from watching them in SLC they were taken from us.....such a fun up and coming band....RIP boys see ya in the next one.....
Yes! I got a hella smiths vibe such soulful instrument playing and vocals.
Your comment made my day. As a huge Depeche Mode fan, I immediately fell in love with What Once Was at first listening. Stephen's voice, and the bass and guitar line... simply divine. It just digs inside my soul in a way words can't express. Lovely souls.
In a single day I discovered one of my new favorite bands, then subsequently learned they have left us. I’m incredibly bummed about losing a band I didn’t know existed yesterday. I’m thankful I have at least one fantastic album to listen to. (Ah, make that two.)
it’s been a long time since i’ve cried as hard as i did at 9:58. you can see how much they’re enjoying themselves as they play Stephen’s magnum opus. absolutely gut-wrenching.
Fuck, they deserved so much more. Jesus fucking Christ. They deserved so much more.
That song is very hard to listen to 😢 one of their best, such a mature sound for such a young age, such a cruel world.
@@bernlin2000 It’s fittingly sad. Listening to what once was by listening to “What Once Was”.
I ball my eyes out every time they were a gift to us taken away too soon :(
They had so much musical talent and potential… gone, but still alive in our hearts.
I revisit this ever so often , I love this band , and I wish I could’ve seen them live while they were here.
I've been listening to Her's for a few months. Yesterday I was watching their live performance of Harvey and then this morning I was almost unknowingly singing "Cool With You" as I got ready for work. Her's was pretty much the band I was going to start looking towards for new music. Decided to watch this video on my commute and then I read the comments.
Basically they're gone within the span of just a few hours. I could cry, I can't believe this could happen. Rest in Peace guys, you've inspired me so much.
Louis Arias same here dude.. I just discovered Hers a few weeks ago, come to click on this vid n see the comments. I didn’t even know these guys but it’s like their music lets you get to know them in a way and its just so sad that their gone. I was looking forward to their music in the future:( RIP
bro the bassist's lil dancey dancey is just makin me cry so badly...why did god have to rob this amazing band from us
Saw “Hers” last show in Austin,TX. At SXSW. The next day they were killed in a bad car crash on the way to Phoenix Arizona. I had no idea who this band was when I first saw them. But boy oh boy was I happy I stuck around and saw the whole show. “Hers” made me a forever fan, and it will always break my heart knowing they are gone. But never forgotten. Love and peace to all. 🙏
It's just not fair, it's simply not fair. RIP to these beautiful people.
They made the type of music that you can cruise the coast to drop the top and enjoy life they will truly be missed 😥😥😥🙏❤
j arsson in the same vein of Mac but they still had their own style
Not to sound like a broken record but I spent a long time listening to them in blissful ignorance, content with as my girl friend said, every song being a banger. Decided one night a few months ago to check youtube comments to see what other people thought about them but came up broken hearted this is the only live performance ive been able to bring myself to watch. If I start to think too much about it the tears well up every time... I promise I'll be here listening for the rest of my life
Came across them because Apple Music played their song What Once Was on my personal station. Which you hear at 7:05. Was devastated to hear about their passing because I thought they were most likely active since I hadn’t heard of them at the time prior to looking them up. 😢. I’m years late but may Stephen, Audin and their tour manager Taylor RIP. They had so much potential to be the next big thing. Such a tragedy they got taken away from us way too soon ❤️. Then I decided to listen to the full album after hearing the song and loved it.
it's been four years. thanks boys
Wow it's so sad what happened.. Rest in peace to such great artist
Awesome talented cool gentlemen
They died in a car accident. Tragic
The “This is Stephen’s magnum opus/swan song” comment before What Once Was is super heart breaking
I don't want to believe that they're gone :( their music will live on forever
:/
Life is so, so unfair. Her's FOREVER
I just cannot stop crying. I'm only recently coming across their music and I didn't know the accident had happened until I came to find their videos. I'll never heal from the news...
Shit is heartbreaking man
I feel you man
Going through the same thing rn
Same
I would’ve loved to see these beautiful souls in person 💔
So young, full of joy and hope, so sad. Love their music, so talented!
They had a whole future ahead of them in the music industry. I love their songs
I still watch this religiously at least once a week.
same
Aw man, I can't stop watching this - I'm so heartbroken. 'She Needs Him' is such a great song and this is an amazing performance of it. RIP, love to all.
Rest In Peace guys. Thank you for the music :(
I hate that I found a clip from this stream of What Once Was and fell in love with it back in 2022. Now I'm stuck mourning a band I never got the chance to know. I would give anything to somehow switch to a parallel universe where they're still alive and making such incredible music.
Who said they have passed on? I see two wonderful lads eternal in the hearts of all the people who are here celebrating their music.
brilliantly said
I’ve been following Her’s for a while and became so emotionally invested in this band, listening to all their songs, writing and drawing out how their music made me feel. After some time I started to wonder wether any new music would come out, so I searched up the band and found out the news from almost 3 years ago. I admit I was heartbroken, and now every time I listen to their music I’m overwhelmed with so many intense feelings for them. Rest easy boys, in another life I can’t wait to hear your unique sound again
Discovered them tonight, heard the news tonight. Crying now. Jesus, they had IT, sincerely. RIP. So beautiful they were.
this song was a song my boyfriend and i really loved. & now that he has passed & they have passed it hit entirely different. in a happy way and depressive way. i love that it goes goes ways. there's much life to live but it's okay to have down moments and be present in that moment. "every time is unique" cheers.
this is so sweet hope ur okay
What song? There's three. Clout chasing fuck.
@@acidfruitloops You're mentally unwell.
0:50 She needs him
I thought you left alone last night
Put to bed, my greatest fear
I know I don't reserve the right
But by simply hoping he's not here
Please, don't say that you've seen him
She's probably got her life laid out
Just let me dream a little more
My heart takes up all my strength
No more can I think of them
No more can I hold her in my thoughts
Don't say that she needs him
That she needs him
That she needs him
He probably lives alone, you know
How am I ever to compare?
Oh why can't she be alone for good
So I can dream and never dare?
Please, don't say that you've seen him
She's probably got her life laid out
Just let me dream a little more
My heart takes up all my strength
No more can I think of them
No more can I hold her in my thoughts
Don't say that she needs him
That she needs him
Nobody knows
I wish she could
Holding me close
As if she would
Nobody knows
I wish she could
Holding me close
Holding me close
My heart takes up all my strength
No more can I think of them
No more can I hold her in my thoughts
Don't say that she needs him
That he needs her
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
I want her to know
He don't have it all
7:03 What Once Was
I guess I knew this would happen to you
Inside I did what I refused to know the truth
I'm headin' back inside to sit at home with you
I think I know what's wrong
My friends put on their bravest face
Their tails between their legs, something's out of place
I bet their mothers let them know what I'm about to face
Keep your mouth zipped, son
Baby, I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hangin' on
I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was
Tell me all important stuff
What's your favorite color, what makes you so tough?
Please don't let go when you've had enough
I'm on my knees
Baby, I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was
Baby, I've been there before
I was at the point where all I really wanted was someone
And now I'm still hanging on
I was at the end of every tether waiting for what once was
Waiting for my love
Waiting for
15:03 Under Wraps
I can't say that I saw it comin'
But it's true that I wasn't surprised
It wouldn't make much sense on the inside
I wish that you could've said somethin'
'Cause I know, that you're there to disguise
Couldn't crack a smile and couldn't say you're fine
Is it true?
Living away so long
You withdrew
You couldn't bear to talk about it
Live without it
Holdin', waitin'
The lonely time you wander once, they're away
So you can't act content
And who's to say they're gonna push you away?
It means more to you, then it does to them
So don't justify
Living silent, under wraps
And I feel like I ran with a headstart
And you're only just starting to live
Got a lot to gain, not a lot to give
And it breaks me up to think about
'Cause I know that you don't wanna move
Anything at all, just because of this
Is it true?
Living away so long
You withdrew
You couldn't bear to talk about it
Live without it
Holdin', waitin'
The lonely time you wander once, they're away
So you can't act content
And who's to say they're gonna push you away
It means more to you, then it does to them
So don't justify
Living silent, under wraps
The moment that you tell them
The end of where you're at
And once it's set in motion
You will not be looking back
And what they thought was perfect
And what they thought was fact
Will uncover a beauty there
They never could expect
The moment that you tell them
The end of where you're at
And once it's set in motion
You will not be looking back
And what they thought was perfect
And what they thought was fact
Will uncover a beauty there
They never could expect
The moment that you tell them
The end of where you're at
And once it's set in motion
You will not be looking back
5 years later, and I’m planning to play Under Wraps as my 1st dance with my husband at our wedding. We fell in love to this song, yet I will always have an ache in my heart for Her’s and their loved ones ❤️🩹✨
Just found these guy's. Feel so sad, and so robbed. The absolute quintessential band. In it for the friendship and fun, not taking themselves too seriously, but oodles of talent. RIP guy's.
I'm so pissed at the randomness of the universe, They deserved more time. RIP beautiful souls.
I used to listen to What Once Was while I was skating... Rest in peace guys, you did a lot for all of us. Such an inspiration
My new favorite music group. They are STILL living through music
It's great to think his sister will always have that special song to remember him by.
I've been hearing them none-stop for the last two weeks. They are so talented, and seem so nice and down-to-earth! Today i found out what happened to them a year ago and it made me tear up. It is truly unfair when young people loose their lives. Nothing can quite prepare anyone for sudden tragic events. I hope their loved ones are all right and that we will hear their beautiful music in after-life.
It breaks my heart for the fact that I was truly fascinated watching and listening to these amazing artists only to find out after getting into the comments how tragic and heavy my heart feels.
I have nothing against monetization, but putting the ads right in the middle of these amazing songs is such a poor choice. :/
These guys will live on in my heart.
Genuinely one of the most unique and talented bands I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing
I bet the sister can't stop listening to Under Wraps trying to cope with the tragedy. So sad, rest in peace gentlemen. Thank you for your music
Omg I smiled so big once they started playing and dancing at the same time.
Right when it got to 15:04 I started crying. I had never heard this song before and learning that they're gone and that masterpieces like this wouldn't be made anymore by them is a pain. Rip
I’m so grateful I got to see them in Austin :) I hope they are making more beautiful music in heaven
Shit man...I didn't know them. Have never heard of them. After seeing this performance starting and watching they playfully play it honestly made me sad...life can be so unfair. Much strenght for their family and friends. RIP guys
I was lucky enough to see them twice before they passed. I can still remember my friend showing me this song for the first time and it changed my life, a case of right song right time. I was hooked since that moment. I couldn’t believe it when I heard they passed, but they will live when we play this for years to come and I’ll make sure that my children know this band. Thank you Hers for being the soundtrack to my teenage years and so much more
2 great lads that deserve to be here now. Life is just not fair.
if you believe in the metaverse (not the zuckerberg version, but the one of infinite realities) then they are still here... just in this particular version it's through the music
I love how Audun plays bass , and Stephens voice is so beautiful. These two will always be one of a kind 🖤
I’ll never forget the moment I heard cool with you for the first time. life changing. Rest In Peace stephen and audun
"My heart takes up all my strength"
Feel you brother
you guys walk with me daily.
One day I’ll be able to watch this without crying.
The song to his sister also made my heart drop. I wish with my whole heart they didn’t take their first tour to the US.
2024 and they will be in my heart forever ❤️
So last month I unintentionally walked in on these guys playing downstairs at Songbyrd venue in Washington D.C. Didn’t know they were playing. I was originally there that night to attend my usual Thursday night open mic upstairs. I heard them and I immediately loved everything that was going on in that room. This English duo playing synth pop and the enthused crowd. I remember being inspired and telling myself to play music with as much passion as these guys. Then today I decided to look em up and I found out that they had died in a car crash a few weeks ago. Life is truly strange and yet beautiful. R.I.P
they’re dancing makes everything so much more special
Its comforting to see all the comments where ppl are talking about this performance making them emotional. I say that for a few reasons but for one, I don't feel so crazy & know I'm not alone every time I see this and it fucks me up. This shit was (and still is) magical man. I really think the truth of that is emphasized by the sadness I get at points throughout. I mean I didn't know them personally, but I feel sad listening/watching because the whole time I know they're gone. Feeling that sadness is only possible when you witness or remember something beautiful that was lost. It's a bittersweet thing where you can almost only feel as sad as they have made you happy. I don't know how else to describe it. Anyhow, dear reader, I love you and I'm happy-sad right there with ya. *virtual hug* RIP
miss this band everyday
Every day
Every day
every day
every day
i love their little dance and Stephen's vocals is immaculate, cant believe it has been three years, rest well :'(
5 now 😢
That Ricky is very much at home in Audun's hands. This version of What Once Was is unbelievable. Huge loss. Glad they put out two albums for us to enjoy.
they seem so sweet, soft spoken and humble :(
"you're only just starting to live, got a lot gain, not a lot to give." 💔 rip boys i hope you're still doing what you love the most in the after life.
i cant stop watching this and ugly crying. rest easy ❤️
This is so hard to watch without my heart breaking. 💔 RIP beautiful souls.
Their sad passing has truly made me learn to live life at its fullest. 2 months on. Still shocked.
Yes!!!! I wanted so much to hear She needs him live
I'm still waiting for "carry the doubt" live
no more
@@ทักษ์มากสังข์ Shut the fuck up.
@@adapah7019 fuck you bitch
@@adapah7019 you know they are dead
I didn’t know about them because of their death.
I was listening to their music and i was loving it so i searched them up to see their live performances only to be hit with their tragic end.
I hope they’re still playing together wherever they are
