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.
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.
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
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.
...SONG OF THE DAY!!! THE OFFSPRING - GONE AWAY (1997) La canción trata sobre la muerte de la novia del vocalista Dexter Holland, con quien tuve a su primera hija, Alexa. Aquel accidente automovilístico, su dolor y respuesta emocional ante ello ensaya plasmados en las profundas letras del tema. Y es que todos estamos expuestos a perder la vida cuando menos lo imaginamos 😪, deberíamos de andar por la vida en PAZ y DISFRUTANDO cada momento que se nos presente con las personas cercanas. En vida mis querid@s amig@s!!!🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿08/02/2021
I am familiar with the heavier original of this song and don't know the context to this performance, ie if the crowd were expecting gone away on piano.. i wonder if they came to this show expecting to rock out, then heard this intro, heard the lyrics, initially thought "wtf is this pussy version!?", then realised at the end it's the greatest version of the song
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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'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.
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 🥺😔
I think I got it! I think these are minor harmonic chords, but I have no clue about music theory. I also think he's playing inversions of the following chords, but can't tell either exactly which ones. E,B,E. G,D,G. D,A,D. A, E,A
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 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" 🥰🥰🥰
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.
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 ❤️😔
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
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?
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.
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 ❤
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.
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
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.
Sorry for your loss brother
With every friend that goes this song gets more depth
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
Those lyrics just hit different now, stunning
This song gets sadder and sadder the more the years go by
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.

I’m amazed this performance hasn’t hit the masses for millions of views
one of favorite songs
cant wait to hear it in the new Album
Beautiful, just beautiful.

Somebody call Trent Reznor, because this could actually beautiful.

Man he has gotten old, and so have I

Wow... so basically this is The Offspring singing their own song but sounding more like FFDP cover than the original. Sounds great!
cool!
Dexter Hollandaise
I am familiar with the heavier original of this song and don't know the context to this performance, ie if the crowd were expecting gone away on piano.. i wonder if they came to this show expecting to rock out, then heard this intro, heard the lyrics, initially thought "wtf is this pussy version!?", then realised at the end it's the greatest version of the song
me, this past weekend when i went to see them at the Irvine 5 Point Amphiteatre. And wow, ended with goosebumps.
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.

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.
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.
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.

What a beautiful spectacle. One if the best punk bands of our age singing with such emotion
This Def gave me Gary Jules mad world like slow beauty
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.
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? 😉
My mom passed away just a month ago, and I can’t stop listening to this song.

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

@@inquisitorfederov5470 ill have to check it out
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
I have seen this piano version live. Big moment for me. Only knew the original. It was beautiful.
They played this may 25 at the fillmore in Detroit. IT WAS AMAZING!!!
Bob Lefsetz brought me here.
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
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
Lost a Daughter and this song is so beautiful
This shit made me cry, jus saw them last night
I’m just putting this out there. He is one talented, talented musician, and he was severely underrated.
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.

That show was dope
This song literally saved my life! #grateful #embraceeveryday
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 🥺😔
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
Dex looks like he'd eaten Axl Rose.
Are you the same size you were 25 years ago?
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
This is absolutely amazing.
I think I got it! I think these are minor harmonic chords, but I have no clue about music theory. I also think he's playing inversions of the following chords, but can't tell either exactly which ones.
E,B,E.
G,D,G.
D,A,D.
A, E,A
1:25 can tell even he has to gather his composure. Just shows how powerful this song is...
Храни вас Бог
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
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
It is comforting knowing I am not the only one suffering. I love you all, I really Do!
I like this song so better on the piano. Love Offspring
Считаю эту песню у них лучшей , очень мощная песня , пробивает до самой глубины души.
I saw him do this version live in hartford Connecticut. I never heard that version before and I'm pretty sure I cried
one of the offspring masterpeices.
I absolutely adore this!
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" 🥰🥰🥰
Is it just me or is Dex’s voice so much better while playing the piano than playing guitar?
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.
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.
still gives me goosebumps and bring tears to my eyes every time i hear this! glad i was there to experience this...
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 ❤️😔
Not the same wit the piano version
Most memorable song performance that I witnessed in Nashville Crawfish Boil Festival from 2009.
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
Very real version of this great song!
2.52 🥶
OFFSPRING❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

😇❤ from England, Cornwall beautiful song 😘
Fucking awesome
......Has an REM vibe to it.
revisiting this . . . I saw it live in PHX, and this is how I remember it. The pit tickets were worth every penny.
This version is incredible brings a different perspective thanks it's greatly appreciated
Masterful.❤
HOLY GOOSE PIMPLES!!
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?

It sounds like they slowef it down and cut out half the song. Is all the lyrics even there???
OFFSPRING
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.
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 ❤
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.
Simplemente fantástica!
This version is equally powerful if not even more powerful as the original one. Touches my heart always
Heard this song not long after the loss of a HS classmate summer of 97. Still brings the tears.
People should check out the Noctura version of this song that was done back in 2011.
The melody is actually really similar to Evanescene's Your Star on The Open Door album. I think she copied this song actually. It's too similar.
how can he even sing this song without crying
Is It James Taylor? No, ,its the punk Band Offspring!
I was at this show. This intro really makes the song hit home
