Sadder with each person I know who dies. When my girlfriend took her life (it'll be 13 years ago in 2 weeks), I couldn't bear hearing this song for months. (It had been one of my favorites since its release.) After that I listened to it only when I wanted a really hard cry, because that was inevitable. Even in a time like that, a good, powerful cry could help me feel better. Now I hear this song and I still tear up with maybe 3 parts joy for who she was to me and 1 part lingering grief, and a great deal of gratitude for having this song in my life. This might sound insensitive, but a lot of people are dying right now from both of our current worldwide pandemics (AIDS has lost the spotlight lately). I wonder if people are listening to this song more. I wonder if it's helping them like it helped me. "Pulled away before your time I can't deal, it's so unfair... ...I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would" Words from someone who gets it. Words I could borrow when I could find none of my own.
Usually I don't believe in superstitious things like this, but a couple of months ago, this song got stuck in my brain and somehow I had a bad feeling that I would lose someone pretty soon. I just didn't know who it would be. Then, two weeks ago my uncle, who was more like a father to me, passed away and now I know... I can't think of any other song which could describe better, how I feel at this time.
Never realized the impact this song carries. I've listened to it 1000 times over the years. Just lost my wife of 13 years on 11-18-22. This song is so true to the grief of losing someone so dear to one's life.
Sadly, same… I lost my husband 5 years ago. Then my Pastor just quoted this song to touch on grief this Sunday and I never even realized the meaning of the lyrics until now.
I lost my twins last week to preterm labor...23 weeks. They did their best and fought so hard...but they were just too little...this song has been on repeat since then in my head..and today is the burial. Idk how I'm gonna get through it..... My perfect sweet little babies..you were so strong and healthy...I'm so sorry. Alena and Callum..I will always love you. 💜🩷🩵💜 The world is so cold...now that you've gone away...
My fiance/the father of my kids died of brain cancer in March 2021 at the age of 49. I turn 48 in a couple months - the same age he was when he got his diagnosis. This song is so haunting and profound for anyone who has suffered a loss.
When my son passed away 13 years ago this song brought new meaning for me, every time I hear this song I burst into tears thinking of him and the time I seen them live and they played this and I cried. This song is for Kristoffer
Oh man, my brothers son's name was Kristofer, he drowned when he was 3yeara old and i found him and pulled him out of the water. It was in 2005 and still feels terrible. I am so sorry for your loss man, listening to this song and reading your comment brought tears to my eyes 💚
I personally think Dexter is one of the greatest musicians of his time. If you keep up with The Offspring's work since their beggining, you can clearly see he's turned from a teenager to a grown man, perfectly adapting his voice range according to his age, enunciating the words better, behaving differently on stage, showing new abilities etc, without ever losing his of the band's signature mark. He's a super smart person with a brilliant mind.
This song really hits as you start getting older.. really fucking hard. Lost my dad and best friend within the last few years and the realization that you will experience everyone you’ve loved around you die, until you die is a lot to take in.
I was 19 when I lost my mom. She was one month shy of being 39. I am now 40 years old, and this song still makes me tear up just as it did when I lost her. Until the day I join her, this song will always bring my thoughts to her when I hear it
I've seen them perform this live twice. The first time was somber and moving and beautiful. The second time was 5 months after the person I loved most on this Earth outside of my own children had suddenly died, and it nearly brought me to my knees, my sister had to hold on to me. I love this song, but I still can't hear it without bawling to this day.
This adds a whole new level of hitting you in the feels. The older I get the more I start to realize the meaning of this song. I've lost some good friends over the years and you realize how precious life really is and it shows you to ignore the crap and enjoy every moment you have on this earth.
My fisnce past on october 5th. And we were at this concert..... And when his dad died last year we listened to this song and now I'm listening to this for him.
Lost my best friend to cancer a few years back, this song kills me every time I hear it. I don't think I ever appreciated the meaning behind the song as a child, as an adult it's one of the most beautiful and poignant songs I've ever heard ❤
My mom passed away just a month ago, and I can’t stop listening to this song. My mom was dying while in another country, thanks to What’sUp I was able to see her, and tell her how much I loved her and see how slowly was leaving this earth 😭😭😭😭😭😭 I couldn’t hold her or feel her hands since we were so far away.
I cry myself makes me think of my niece she just turned 1, my cousin who was murdered and my mom. I pray for everyone who’s lost someone close and love ❤️😔
I heard this version for the first time a couple of months ago and I love it alot better than faster version it has more meaning and depth. I lost my brother 2 years ago and miss him everyday and this song brings how I feel. Thanks for this version
Such a different feel to this song. Simply wonderful. Their album version hides a lot of the deep emotion and makes it to poppy, although i still like it
Listen to 5fdps cover of this song. They are a metal band, however they took a much gentler approach with this song. The vocals are truly something to behold. Subtle yet beautiful. In summary, both versions of this piece are remarkable in their respective ways.
The part in the middle when he solos the piano and says "I reach to the sky" yeah I'm pretty sure God heard that. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard
Saw the in Camden last night WMMRBQ ! They did this version dedicated to ALL the LOSS this year ! I looked up to the sky & cried . I lost 2 Brothers in April ❤️🙏
Last night was amazing. I lost my dad in June. Definite tear jerker. This was my 8 year olds first concert and her exact words were, "this is better than Disney world" 🥰🥰🥰
Just knowing this song was about a near death experience and fearful for losing his wife in a shootout makes me feel the same for my Wife and Son I truly had a emotional breakdown listening to this version
Favorite band of all time and hearing them perform live is a great experience, love that they did an piano version of this song when the new album came out.
I was there for this performance. It was near the end of the concert and I was exhausted and the song got me thinking of losing my father the year before. And I did break down during the performance.
My heart is for this damn song I discovered at the age of 62 while I lost to murder at the tender age of 24 years. I loved my bro who we came within the world with a disabilabilty. I was not a good man due this. Better lives give better results and so did I dear Lord. Many thanks to this song to releasing many parts of the pain and being able to realising. Many thanks to old and new poetry wherever you find it.
My ex died few months ago. I miss him so much. He could be 25 yesterday, but not.. I want to turn the time To have possibility to enjoy every moment we shared You never know when you kiss or hug last time I just want to wake up But I don't Still waiting For that moment, when I'll wake up At new year in Krakiv.. in 2019 Beside him But I can't 🥺😔
Maybe in another life I could find you there Pulled away before your time I can't deal it's so unfair And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it feels Yeah it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Leaving flowers on your grave Show that I still care But black roses and Hail Mary's Can't bring back what's taken from me I reach to the sky And call out your name And if I could trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it stings Yeah it stings now The world is so cold Now that you've gone away Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh, yeah oh, ooh, oh, yeah I'll Save Your Soul Whoa, yeah, mm I reach to the sky And call out your name Oh please let me trade I would And it feels And it feels like Heaven's so far away And it feels Yeah it feels like The world has grown cold Now that you've gone away Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh, yeah oh, ooh, oh, yeah Oh, yeah oh, ooh, oh, yeah
Saw these guys when I was an older teen. It was one the best concerts I went too! It was at one of the downtown auditoriums in Sacramento, CA. Can't remember the name of the place exactly?
This song gets sadder and sadder the more the years go by

I feel ya brother. I lost my wife 11th Feb 2022. Second tine I've come to this song for comfort. 1st in 06 when my older bro died suddenly. 😢
Je suis en larmes

I cried like a baby today at this, in the Birmingham gig. I miss you brother, 33 is no age to die. The world is so cold, now that you've gone away
With every friend that goes this song gets more depth
This song really hits as you start getting older.. really fucking hard. Lost my dad and best friend within the last few years and the realization that you will experience everyone you’ve loved around you die, until you die is a lot to take in.
💯
I cried during this performance not gonna lie. One of the most memorable sets ever
I went to their concert last night. This made me tear up!
Me too bro. Wasn't expecting them to play it mainly like this, they got me good
Not gonna lie I teared up immediately
Me too
@@joeycastilleja8604 I'll be seeing them tomorrow at buzzfest....
Of all the songs this band has created Gone Away is by far their crowned jewel.
I was 19 when I lost my mom. She was one month shy of being 39. I am now 40 years old, and this song still makes me tear up just as it did when I lost her. Until the day I join her, this song will always bring my thoughts to her when I hear it

I’m just putting this out there. He is one talented, talented musician, and he was severely underrated.
Lost a Daughter and this song is so beautiful
My fisnce past on october 5th. And we were at this concert..... And when his dad died last year we listened to this song and now I'm listening to this for him.
My condolences to you, remember, no matter what happens, God is still with you
I’m so sorry for your losses. This is a beautiful song.
I’m so sorry. Blessings.
Feels.
I like the way he pauses momentarily at 1:28 to get the crowds reaction. The sign of a true musician.
He's a ham, and I mean that in a good way.
What a beautiful spectacle. One if the best punk bands of our age singing with such emotion
I just want to let you guys know. I want this to be played at my funeral
just to be sure that everyone who attends absolutely bawls their eyes out? 😉
Lost my best friend to cancer a few years back, this song kills me every time I hear it. I don't think I ever appreciated the meaning behind the song as a child, as an adult it's one of the most beautiful and poignant songs I've ever heard ❤
Those lyrics just hit different now, stunning

It is comforting knowing I am not the only one suffering. I love you all, I really Do!
Считаю эту песню у них лучшей , очень мощная песня , пробивает до самой глубины души.
I couldn't stop crying while listening to this.
They played this may 25 at the fillmore in Detroit. IT WAS AMAZING!!!
I have seen this piano version live. Big moment for me. Only knew the original. It was beautiful.
You know you're a legend musician and the crowd knows when to be quiet and when to sing-along and just to plain know when to be a part of the music
Saw this on my birthday this past year live, and reaching to the sky was just something so magic. A memory I will always remember and cherish ❤
I cry myself makes me think of my niece she just turned 1, my cousin who was murdered and my mom. I pray for everyone who’s lost someone close and love ❤️😔
Mad world
I heard this version for the first time a couple of months ago and I love it alot better than faster version it has more meaning and depth. I lost my brother 2 years ago and miss him everyday and this song brings how I feel. Thanks for this version
I heard this version of this song over the weekend, and it hit me in a way that the original couldn’t. I really wish Dexter would record this version.
He did. It’s on their newest album.
listen to this song i miss the 90s..i cry listening to this song take me back to the past...miss u the offspring from malaysia
God, It's such a bright and sad performance..... Ive got several music idols and Dexter is one of them since I was 7 or 8
Such a different feel to this song. Simply wonderful. Their album version hides a lot of the deep emotion and makes it to poppy, although i still like it
A song can be based on something sad and not actually sound sad this song is probably one of the offsprings top songs if not number one.
@@maxshelltrack9720 Remember Pumped up kicks?
No I don't
Listen to 5fdps cover of this song. They are a metal band, however they took a much gentler approach with this song. The vocals are truly something to behold. Subtle yet beautiful. In summary, both versions of this piece are remarkable in their respective ways.
@@inquisitorfederov5470 ill have to check it out
That show was dope
This version is equally powerful if not even more powerful as the original one. Touches my heart always
The part in the middle when he solos the piano and says "I reach to the sky" yeah I'm pretty sure God heard that. One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've heard
I like this song so better on the piano. Love Offspring
I saw him do this version live in hartford Connecticut. I never heard that version before and I'm pretty sure I cried
I watched this Daytona Rockville and it brought me to tears...on the day my son passed away
This song literally saved my life! #grateful #embraceeveryday
This shit made me cry, jus saw them last night
Th is makes me feel terrible because my step dad was hit by a truck 2019 may 1 and died and now my best freind my grandfather may God rest his soul
He’s become an amazing singer
Saw the in Camden last night WMMRBQ !
They did this version dedicated to ALL the LOSS this year !
I looked up to the sky & cried . I lost 2 Brothers in April ❤️🙏
Last night was amazing. I lost my dad in June. Definite tear jerker. This was my 8 year olds first concert and her exact words were, "this is better than Disney world" 🥰🥰🥰
still gives me goosebumps and bring tears to my eyes every time i hear this! glad i was there to experience this...
revisiting this . . . I saw it live in PHX, and this is how I remember it. The pit tickets were worth every penny.
On piano it just changes this song totally. Every time I hear it I get goosebumps
I was at this show. This intro really makes the song hit home
Very real version of this great song!
This is absolutely amazing.
I absolutely adore this!
Most memorable song performance that I witnessed in Nashville Crawfish Boil Festival from 2009.
1:25 can tell even he has to gather his composure. Just shows how powerful this song is...
Heard this song not long after the loss of a HS classmate summer of 97. Still brings the tears.
This version is incredible brings a different perspective thanks it's greatly appreciated
one of the offspring masterpeices.
Just knowing this song was about a near death experience and fearful for losing his wife in a shootout makes me feel the same for my Wife and Son I truly had a emotional breakdown listening to this version
one of favorite songs
Thank you 5FDP for introducing me to The Offspring.
Lolwut
I lose the love of my life and i never realized how i miss her than now

this song hits different after the loss of my Son
Love this song this away too
I’m amazed this performance hasn’t hit the masses for millions of views
Awesome....great job. I want to capture this one day.....
What were you filming this with?
Cmon from one video guy to another. Was this a phone a camera or what? Im doing the local band scene. Now have 5 cams all Zooms. All 4k.
Masterful.❤
I can't stop thinking about my best friend who passed away in a traffic accident Everytime I listen to this song
cant wait to hear it in the new Album
This song makes me cry every time I play and sing it. And sometimes when I listen to it. My brother died in 2003. It reminds me of him
This Def gave me Gary Jules mad world like slow beauty
Oh it does !!!!!
Absolutely beautiful
The Most Inspirational Piece of Concrete is All of Us Who Are The OFFSPRING.
I'm loving it }}} such an amazing song
Savage talent and emotion. Thank you 🙏
Beautiful, just beautiful.
My ex died few months ago. I miss him so much. He could be 25 yesterday, but not.. I want to turn the time
To have possibility to enjoy every moment we shared
You never know when you kiss or hug last time
I just want to wake up
But I don't
Still waiting
For that moment, when I'll wake up
At new year in Krakiv.. in 2019
Beside him
But I can't 🥺😔
Love this
oh this is giving me chills
The Most Inspirational Piece of Concrete is All of Us Who Call Ourselves The OFFSPRING.
Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal it's so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary's
Can't bring back what's taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, yeah oh, ooh, oh, yeah
I'll Save Your Soul
Whoa, yeah, mm
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
Oh please let me trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away, gone away, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Oh, yeah oh, ooh, oh, yeah
Oh, yeah oh, ooh, oh, yeah
Great band , extremely underrated
I think they're perfectly rated lol
All their songs are hits they're videos have millions of views what else you want lol
Is it just me or is Dex’s voice so much better while playing the piano than playing guitar?
Just got their new album and heard the studio recording of this and it gives me CHILLS
Omg dude. I knew they had a new album. But I am forever grateful you just pointed me to a studio version of this 🤘🏼
I kinda wish that studio version had the drop into the full musical version though
Awesome !!!!!
He played this version at PNC Arts Center a few years back. Teared up not gonna lie
Somebody call Trent Reznor, because this could actually beautiful.
Man he has gotten old, and so have I
Храни вас Бог
Bob Lefsetz brought me here.
Saw these guys when I was an older teen. It was one the best concerts I went too! It was at one of the downtown auditoriums in Sacramento, CA. Can't remember the name of the place exactly?
Fucking awesome
❤
Wouldn this be so much better/intimate if nobody sang or made a noise. That’s what I hate about fans we don’t know when to shut up and just listen
