So Far Away

Aaron Lewis, Riverwind Casino, Norman, OK. 3/13/15

[@cmihale]

I've watched this so many times. Might be the greatest live performance of a song I've ever seen. No auto-tune. Not overdone. Epic.

[@user-eh9uq9cm2k]

So true man....stripped down to just his voice and an acoustic guitar...fucking fantastic

[@codybritt613]

Watch his outside live performance with Fred durst

[@chadwaters5666]

damn....... chills i had this playing in the living room and 3 people stopped what they were doing in other rooms, came to the living room and said play that shit again.

[@Pablo-ly8em]

Dope man so cool (:

[@RAEN74]

I honestly think his voice maturing (not saying it wasn't matured already) but this sound ages like a fine wine...

[@Mclint9171]

This. All of this. It has a richness in this more of a ballad version. get a serious country vibe the way he’s singing it compared to the original.

[@nikositaras3614]

my thoughts exactly

[@tedgallemore6538]

He's better then ever now with age ! Especially in his voice and a lot of the songs he writes now as well .

[@cbubny]

LEGEND. The 25 people that disliked this performance have no clue what good music really is...

[@scandi75]

Just wow! this is one of the most amazing vocals. Haunting and spine tingling... Norway has yet to discover Aaron...

[@romeites6398]

This is my life Its not what it was before All these feelings I've shared And these are my dreams That I'd never lived before Somebody shake me 'Cause I I must be sleeping Now that we're here It's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All in the mistakes One life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here it's so far away And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today These are my words That I've never said before I think I'm doing okay And this is the smile That I've never shown before Somebody shake me 'cause I I must be sleeping Now that we're here It's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All in the mistakes One life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here it's so far away And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today I'm so afraid of waking Please don't shake me Afraid of waking Please don't shake me Now that we're here It's so far away All the struggle we thought was in vain All in the mistakes One life contained They all finally start to go away Now that we're here it's so far away And I feel like I can face the day, and I can forgive And I'm not ashamed to be the person that I am today

[@mashosh7861]

This video deserves way more views, amazing vocals and delivery

[@genocideoffsprng]

"I'm not ashamed. to be the person that I am today" I live by this even though I've made some mistakes in my life

[@iseeyou4209]

It's because you're human.

[@joso76522]

Hell yeah bro music has saved me many times trust. I have a shit load of demons that haunt me... Stay strong bro...

[@stephenlisson1994]

Aaron......absolutely brilliant!!!!! I'm 62 and I can listen to you all day. AMAZING SINGER, SONGWRITER. I love him.

[@1994butterfingers]

This Guy has so much soul!

[@Bshust]

This is an absolutely incredible performance. From 3:46 to 4:18 I've never heard someone sing with such meaning. It was perfect.

[@DorothyWaugh]

My brother passed 2014.we must of listened to this song a thousand times that dreadful week. Today I'm able to hear it and smile.brings back beautiful memories of him no matter the circumstances.

[@edhelgrai]

Dreamt to be like him, his soul and voice in this music was superb for me. I am not ashamed to be the person I am today

[@iseeyou4209]

Aaron's voice is amazing! He has so much talent and is so amazing!!!

[@juncantorna9766]

Real music is sung from the heart.

[@kameronbodrie9200]

one of few who doesn't need auto tune

[@mikesale100]

This is how you sing people! No auto tune shit!!! No mumble rap!!! Real VOICE!!!!!

[@dominionsilas2227]

Thank you! One of Aaron's best performances this

[@nebomoiroi6996]

Я не смогу описать чувства, что испытал, на английском языке. Когда этот человек берёт первые аккорды - начинаешь любить его музыку. Не говоря уже про слова, они просто за пределом всяких похвал. Такое не хочется комментировать - такое хочется слушать и слушать. Спасибо ему. Легендарный человек. 4:09 - мурашки.

[@trevormcelroy2837]

Been my all time favorite song all these years. This performance draws tears its that good.

[@applefordguy76]

Goose bumps, every time he hits those notes in the chorus... Love it!

[@curlysandy77]

Großartig, wie er mit seiner Stimme umgehen kann. Ich nehm ihm jeden Ton und jedes Wort ab ❤️ mir geht es einfach gut, wenn ich dieses Lied höre. Danke ❤️

[@steliosnathanailidis869]

This song was my favourite ballad . What a voice

[@1trueloveforever]

Brought me to tears . I'm not ashamed of the person I am today

[@HazzardHick]

One of the best voices in music today and in the last 15-20 yrs

[@cj24702]

All time

[@jeradjones9528]

I Loved This song from the beginning Seeing Aaron do it acoustic ; He transcends It to me That it becomes A Genre of its own . A new spirit I know not neither Country Nor Rock EXTRAORDINARY By definition.

[@chriswilbanks8173]

Damn.... Aaron's talent is unreal

[@rauvirtual]

It's really a great moment for this singer. Touch our hearts in a increadible way

[@user-db4up3bw5u]

I love just listening to his voice, l cant tell u how many times l have fallen asleep😮, listening to this music, and waking up confused, not knowing what the hell was going on???,,,😮😊😮😂😊❤and lm totally intending on doing it again tonite?

[@taithumble]

The album version has always been one of my favorite songs. I thought I'd see if there was a good live performance on KZbin and came across this. I was blown away! Amazing.

[@jasonlavigne6892]

whoever dislikes this is a crazy person !!! So pure and so amazing the way he pours his heart into his music .

[@jeremydavis2643]

By far the best concert my wife and I have EVER seen..other than the kids sitting behind us and talked the whole time while we were trying to enjoy our night,.either way a security gard let my wife go closer so she could video her favorite song, Mama!! We weren't in a coliseum just a small town bar paid good money to see this guy which was well worth our money other than the kids behind us..FREE TICKETS, they were there for fun not for the good music!! I'll find him again near us for my wife!! Greensboro North Carolina, we're ready to see you again Aaron Lewis!!!

[@derekelder3010]

absolutely powerful

[@Sandwhich111]

wow.... this is unreal.

[@joshuaallen6450]

Made my skin crawl. Arron Lewis is so talented!

[@robbieharley1480]

Aaron - another heartfelt display of an incredible talent. You resonate with so many including me so very much. Thank you brother!

[@AndreBorrero]

Again and again. I don’t think there is a single song I don’t absolutely love by Aaron. These lyrics reflect everything about me. I will always be a fan and will never get tired listening. It’s not depressing, it’s Reality. ......

[@paulmoore525]

Insanely talented

[@chriswilbanks8173]

Absolutely F...ing AMAZING!!! Vocal ability I can't think of a current artist that comes close. Just my opinion Aaron is an unbelievable talent.

[@gcg2366]

He's like a fine wine. Freaking amazing!

[@rickjuarez57]

WHAT A TRANSFORMATION from Staind...he is amazing...

[@bomozy]

There's something about this stripped down version that makes it better in many ways

[@Mclint9171]

Exactly. Sort of a richness, more of a pleading in his voice.

[@andrewwheeler2847]

i honestly dont know which is better this or the recorded one!!!

[@unofficialtester1545]

Not bad for a bloke who started out with out a band and was homeless on the streets.....Long before Staind....Fred Durst tried to block Staind from performing as a back up band because of their album cover......Fred went on to be a producer for Aaron and Staind after hearing the band play and the rest my friends is history......Thank you Fred for putting Aarons music before your own

[@mikeblanchard7579]

What ya mean? Aaron grinded his teeth for years as a cover/bar band before his cousin managed to get him on the 99 family values tour where fred yes did try to kick them out after seeing the dysfunction cover as he thought they were some satanic metal band or some shit

[@rminitials]

Thank you eo much foe posting this. Great quality

[@dareelcabbagelord1332]

I am a Staind fan and I just randomly looked up "Staind 2016" and this came up. It is so weird how much he has changed since I was in high school, this was one of my favorites by staind and he's still pretty good. (Still has the eyebrows too lol)

[@dailytimes6787]

That venue has amazing reverb

[@rowdybrewdog]

Like fine wine, his vocals aged really well. And he was really good with staind

[@Mclint9171]

Wish he’d release an acoustic version like this.

[@zachmurphy198]

every day i listen to so far away. Never give up, youre not considered a failure until you quit.

[@brodygaston6053]

"I can forgive" That's when the chains fall off.

[@brysonplumber6899]

This is my all time favorite artist. 2nd place ain't even close.

[@darkcadence938]

Amazing voice that transcends me to the heavens

[@mattmorton820]

Man is a genius song writer and voice is a gift from above;would love to deer hunt with him!!!

[@shanetutt518]

He's gotten better with age..love his new song "am I the only one"..too...

[@nzdanovec]

Such a great voice, He's so great live

[@mohdaminismail8254]
