In the video the wife dies, hence the tomb stones. I think the homelessness and possible addiction struggles happened because he had trouble dealing with life without her. I think he burns the photos because he realizes it's time to let go and make different choices moving forward. This is an amazing song and Sebastian Bach killed it.

If I didn't have our 5 children counting on me, I don't think I'd even be standing. At the end, the memories were drowning him so he had to let go or die with her. I will always hold every memory with a firm grip, but I have known other widows who had to get rid of every memory because they were bringing them closer to suicide than to living.

Cliff, Skid Row is another one of those bands that the younger generation doesn't know but the minute they hear them they'll never forget them. Their songs can easily trigger your emotions in exactly the way they want to ... it's a true gift. Wasted Time, In A Darkened Room, Quicksand Jesus, Youth Gone Wild, 18 and Life and so many others in their catalog are as good today as they were the day they were released ... truly timeless songs. As a matter of fact, Sebastien Bach, the lead singer just released a new solo album recently and he hasn't lost a step. He's a true triple threat, a hard rock/metal singer, a Broadway performer and an actor.

I just saw Sebastian at a fundraiser over Memorial Day Weekend! He still sounds great & his crowdwork is top shelf. His 11yr old stepson Trace came out & played guitar on “Youth Gone Wild.” Keep an eye on that kid! Sebastian has a reputation for being a real 🍆 but really he’s just a bad drunk (we all have that one friend). He seems to have conquered that demon, & still has quite a few good years ahead of him. He took care of his voice, unlike so many other vocalists of that era, like Axl Rose & Vince Neil. If you get a chance to see him live, I highly recommend it! Just a great frontman with an amazing voice. Unpretentious & doing it for the love of music. Fun, fun, FUN!!! 🤘🏼
