    Dearest Steven, I start my day by listening to my son in an interview, or hear him sing, and to read what his fans have written. Some days I feel there is nothing to comfort me but, then I read posts like yours and from so many others who offer to me and my family loving support. I am proud of
    David for touching so many hearts and souls with his messages from his deep soul. I too wish more people had while David was alive would have sung his praises. Live passionately, love from Mama Gold

    I spoke with David hours before he was to be home,” I will be home about 9:30.” He died on highway 400, (video of him filling his gas tank with gasoline, he had very hot coffee untouched and food he purchased for the drive home ...) our family had Christmas plans, and as a Christmas gift all my children asked to go sky diving on New Year’s Day...sigh... only three of my four children went sky diving and a video of my daughter as she jumped,” this is for you David..” sigh... ❤️❤️❤️❤️

      I found this band on 2013*. It's been eight* years and I always come back. I mourn David's death day every year in december and I can surely say that I have never felt so understood by someone I never even knew.
      Everytime I feel lonely, sad or worried about death, WOY is the first thing that comes to my head. Even though I love "WOY IV", the last album from your son taught me more than any book. It's my first example of a Magnum Opus.
      Not only his voice was perfect in "Grey Skies & Electric Light", the instrumental was on point. But the lyrics are "simple" yet powerful and meaningful. Everytime I come back to that album, it always tells me that "life is hard, but you can be happy, even if you're alone. Take care of yourself". It gives me strength to strive and keep going on; seeking a better life for me and those around me.
      Thank you, Ms. Gold and to your son aswell. I wish the best for you and your whole family. I am sure that the metal scene will never fill this void your son left; but, at the same time, this means he will never be forgotten. I am convinced that he will inspire many people the same way he inspired me.
      Thank you from a brazilian fan!

Again thank you to all who check in on me now and again. Let us believe you had thought communication with David, and he asked you , for him,to see how I am. I hope I feel more love than pain, but, some days, I allow myself to feel a pain so raw there are no words to describe or measure that. Together we can be motivated and inspired by David.

      I love everything I have heard from this band. Your son was an amazing artist. Like many, I unfortunately did not discover his music until after he was too soon taken from this world, but Woods Of Ypres has easily become one of my favorite bands of all time. It's difficult for me to choose between Woods Of Ypres and Type O Negative. Though Woods Of Ypres never gained the recognition they deserve, David Gold is one of the most talented artists I've ever heard. His songs, the lyrics, and the music that he composed are beautiful to me, no matter how dark the subject matter. I identify with many of the feelings he has expressed throughout his music. I know he's touched the hearts of many, including mine, with the legacy he left in woods Of Ypres. I just wish I could have met him at least once.. Just to have at least one conversation with him would have been amazing, but fate is often unkind, and it just wasn't meant to be I guess. Maybe in a different time, or in a different plane of existence we will all be able to meet our fallen loved ones, and those that we adore, yet again...

      I wanted to tell you how much David and his music means to me, and I am sure so many others. I found his band Woods of Ypres several years ago, in a quest to find myself. I have struggled with my mental health for my whole life, and as I approach my mid-twenties his message has carried me more than ever. Several times, his songs end up being the only thing keeping me going, and the only thing that makes me feel understood. Every song resonates with my whole self. I've dedicated my life to being able to make music and being a strong woman because of the him, I look up to him, his words, lyrics, and music, as they are the only time I've felt understood in my life. I hope one day when I am a mother, I can show my children all of his works. I'm sorry if this is a strange message, and I am so sorry for the loss of him. But I wanted you to know how much of a bright light in the darkness that he is in many lives, including mine. I continue to live on to hear his music, thank you. Thank you so much.

Proud of you to face the challenges in life and be like me, recognize small glimmers of joy on those days that are needing more inner strength to work through. This moment, one if my cats us near, purring, kneading on my fluffy sweater, as if being my therapist to say,” I am here with you,” this is a glimmer of joy, I have brewed mushroom coffee and will have some reflective moments on feeling more love than pain.

      Take a look at how the "heavier" elements in Woods of Ypres really make their music that much more impactful and contribute in such a vital way to the overall enjoyment, and if you're like me you'll notice similar qualities in other bands you may have overlooked before.

    Some of the most painful music we write is about people we loved who ultimately hurt us and moved on. I wonder how they will feel when/if they listen to these songs, after we are gone. Rest in peace, David.

    Your pretty causes
    Make great conversation
    While another world is yearning
    Painfully for an end
    And who will save me now
    Now that you are gone
    And who will save you from yourself
    You were the light
    That shone brightly in the night
    You were the light
    That shone harshly on my life
    Think of me when you are weak
    Whenever when you are strong
    Pretending that I'm okay
    Will comfort when you are lost
    And who will save me now
    Now that you are gone
    And who will save you from yourself
    You were the light
    That shone brightly in the night
    You were the light
    That shone harshly on my life
    Close the door and cry
    Or lock it up from the outside
    Look down on me from the balcony
    And hold the railing tight
    And if you changed your mind
    Then you are justified
    And if you changed your mind
    You'd know that you were right
    And you will be just fine
    The more you knew
    The less you wanted to
    You made our decisions on your own
    And left me without a choice to choose
    None of this
    Will ever haunt you now
    Since there is no one else
    Accounting for your cruelty but me
    You will see no consequence
    And though I am not to blame
    I suffer all the same
    And who will save me now
    Now that you are gone (now that you are gone)
    And who will save you from yourself
    You were the light
    That shone brightly in the night
    You were the light
    That shone harshly on my life
    You were the light
    That flashed and left me in the dark
    You were the light
    The only light I'll ever know
    You were the light
    You were the light
    You were the light
    You were the light

Few artists delve into the emotion of despair, but it's an emotion we ALL deal with. Woods helps us process that emotion and move on:) R.I.P.

    Dearest, thank you for your heartfelt message . I am comforted to know that David is your light during your dark times. Thank you for welcoming a part of David’s soul to live in your loving soul. May you continue to feel David’s energy near you ,” I am here with you , you are with me here.” I believe we can have thought communication with loved ones. May we all live a life as David did with meaning, purpose , have hope for better days and live a life focusing on self care and self respect. Who will save us? My thoughts we are 100 percent responsible for what we think, say, feel and do. True we must seek that or who may ignite our inner spark. When that happens we can show our inner light too that may be needed first others who may be on a dim path or just feel stuck. Your message to me did shine your light on me. Thank you . Hug to you from your mama gold

    •  7 місяців тому +1

      Thank you for your kind message. It means the world to me to hear from you, and I will always treasure your response. I hope we can all feel David's energy near us as long as we live, to encourage us and motivate us to be strong. I have been trying my hardest to take care of myself, though hard, my music and desire to learn of the world keep me curious and living life as much as I can. I hope one day I can save myself, and light the path ahead for others, too. I hope one day that better days can come soon.
      Hugs from Nicole B.

    David was Woods' sole member. The rest were either session or live musicians, but that began to change with Woods IV and Woods V. Woods V was completed and set to release when David died. It was released about three months later, and is an incredibly accessible yet bittersweet album. You'll see what I mean.
