3 years ago, I lost my little sister.

[@NickNewman]

I liked this song from the first time I heard it when the album came out. I was in 4th grade at the time. I lost my best friend in a hiking accident when I was 16, and this song gave a much deeper meaning, and every year on his death, I play this song at his grave site. Sounds weird, but it''s just what I do. Funny thing is, through his death, I found the girl who years later would marry me, so this song has an interesting happy/sad feeling to it. This version takes it to an even different level. Thank you so much for this, guys.

[@valeryeverdeen2247]

it isn´t weird, what you did it´s beautiful, it means too many things for everyone, for you, and for me, everyone :)

[@Miahdroid4]

There seriously is not a bad version of this song that I've found anywhere. You know you've created something amazing when there isnt any way to play it that doesnt rouse intense emotions, and you can youtube people in like 40 different countries covering it. No matter what else they've done or will do (which has been pure amazingness since 1989), this song is Dexter's legend.

[@Miahdroid4]

Also... for the love of of all that is holy, you have have to put a piano/band coming in as the song crescendos version of this song on an album asap.

[@valeryeverdeen2247]

well, I have no words, there are too many things in that song, it means something for Dexter and The Offspring, and, I think, for everyone, even if some one didn´t like this version, it isn´t the melody at all, it´s about the lyrics and the feeling at singing. For me, this is a very beautiful version, I´ll always love The Offspring and Bryan Dexter Holland :) .lll.

[@buddysmom1000]

Beautifully said Valery.

[@ahnifollett]

This version just adds onto the sadness of the song! So beautiful!

It was a memorable concert. The crowd was poppin!! The band was on point the whole night. Thanks for allowing me to relive this.

[@bryanwales6487]

this is brilliant. absolutely amazing. the subtleties in the background instruments emphasize the raw emotions of the lyrics. Emily's voice is stunningly rich and full. I could listen to this on repeat forever.

[@Paul_Simon]

Lost someone I loved very recently. We sang (for fun) together when no one else was around (she refused to sing in front of anyone except me, after much coercion). Went to this version immediately. Now that I’ve heard the 2021 version, I’m going to try to mix them together. Miss you, my Nani. It’ll be for you, but I need this for me, too. I reached to the sky when I begged the big guy to let you stay even if it meant losing you as my better half. As He gave us those additional 6 months a year later, I’m grateful we had that time together before the disease took you. The pain and struggle for you is done- I have to look at it this way to accept it.

[@1maydayme]

Oh My God I am an a old man 57 ,This song strikes so many NERVES in my life ,REAL TIME I am at a loss for words .GOD BLESS The OffSpring and DEAD SARA My life will get better!!!

[@TuMadre-q6l]

Literally the most underated, misunderstood song of all time. Im 43 years old and always liked this song since it came out but only recently has this song actually impacted me emotionally and when it hit me, it all made sense for me. I can no longer just listen to this song without literally FEELING it. I have also never heard a bad cover of this song. 😮

[@claragomezgutierrez8463]

I came to listen to this song after hearing that she's going to be the new singer for Linkin. I didn't remember this track, and it still gives me goosebumps (as we say here in Spain). I'm still amazed at how, in a situation like this, where so many memories flood your mind, he can produce a voice instead of tears... I guess the love he still feels for his wife gives him the strength to reach her, wherever she is... I love Offspring, and thanks to my brother, I have this musical culture that is really worth it... Thanks, bro🤘🤘

[@tanujak98]

I loved the original, but this stripped down version really does it for me. I'll always remember the exact emotions I felt hearing it for the first time. It also introduced me to Dead Sara. Thank you for that.

[@buddysmom1000]

I have never heard this version of "Gone Away" before and I don't really follow The Offspring much anymore, but my teenage daughter loves them. I stumbled on this video by accident while looking up Dead Sara. My daughter told me the story behind the song after she saw I was crying after watching this video. Just last night I was telling my daughter about something that happened to me recently that made me feel like my mother-in-law who passed years ago had visited me when I needed someone. I know some people don't believe in these things, but it happens. This is a beautiful video & song and it's odd I discovered it when I did.

No one can deny that this is a sad song. Yet it is a song that is full of the greatest emotions that human beings are capable of; love and self sacrifice! And it is a song that is done with enough feeling to be sincere without being nauseating!
