The Offspring - Gone Away Alternative 2021 (Official Audio)

[@hopehuggins1119]

I went to their concert last night with my dad and it was amazing. I just lost my Nana two months ago and I was not prepared for him to play this but it was so beautiful and even though I cried my dad was there and it felt like it was just for my nana in that moment. In memory of Shelly 1959-2023

Getting Mad World vibes from this version

[@Luna-pr3yu]

YES!!!

[@n8vjefe]

I thought it was just me that was like Donnie Darko mad world tone.

[@johnluke5478]

True true

[@MAWKY_MAWK]

Yes! I saw it live last night and got the same vibe!

[@kozmicflush980]

Gettin horrible vibes from this. Why tf every artist thinking this auto tone shi sounds good ???? If you can't sing anymore then don't return with this garbage. This is a big dump stain on their catalog ! 🙄 Shame

[@gwarriorfromhell]

The original is like pain when it first hits. You are pissed off at the world and just want it to end. This is like the feeling of knowing that even though the hurt is still there, things are going to be fine, even if things will never be the same again. Full circle.

[@shawnhawley4800]

You absolutely nailed it

[@uknighte]

Well said

[@BryanWangler]

I wasnt ready for this comment...who is cutting onions...

[@johngrubbs202]

I frequently come to this comment section to read this comment. @gwarriorfromhell, you're a wordsmith. I lost my mother 9 years ago when I was 21. The original was always there for me, from the time I was a little guy. When my mom passed, I leaned on it pretty hard through the anger stage. This one allows me to feel at peace with my grief. Your comment has also brought me a peace and unique understanding of this tune I didn't have before.

[@not1fromyourworld]

This is one hell of a musical masterpiece, every version electric, acoustic, piano ,it rips your soul out

[@BronzeFury3]

Quite right! And what is more - in every universe possible!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@BrandonSchumacher9519]

My dads mom passed in December 2019 and my moms mom died in November 2022. I was sad so I was listening to old music from my childhood and the offspring popped up so I eventually it lead me to this beautiful song and ever since if I start to think about them both I’ll get on here and listen to this song probably 6 times in a row and cry like a fucking baby. I miss them both and I’m glad one of my favorite bands can help me heal. Thank you THE OFFSPRING!

[@skuggensdam13]

The original will always be my favorite, but this version is lovely, too.

[@AN-nt3uv]

I am completly with you by that. This one is great, but the original tears me apart, plus memories of being young in the later 90ies.

[@jamesdraven5340]

The original 1997 version is beautiful, HOWEVER this version stripped down to bare bones, brings a whole new pain, anguish, and sadness to the lyrics making this much more powerful. The RAWNESS and vulnerability of this makes getting emotional, shedding tears and letting pain easier. THANK YOU for both versions of the song. GOD BLESS YOU GUYS.

[@dan_2846]

You could not have worded this better; brings entirely new meaning to the song

[@korrasatsuki8773]

This song is timeless. Always breathtaking and beautiful. Thank you for this amazing gift.

[@deadmanrunning6670]

This song, and the original version, brings back memories of a girl I liked at work. We were close, but I never told her how I felt. One day we said goodnight and the next morning she was killed in a freak car accident backing out of her driveway. Was almost 50 years ago and it feels like you never forget.

[@ZeoGhost]

The Offspring did this version absolutely flawlessly. Well done.

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

They did it originally, as well. 😇

[@bluehydro88]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Dexter and Doug from The Offspring wrote it 23 years ago.. it's a shame because too many people believe that Five Finger Death punch wrote it. They just covered it

[@guezwho67]

I've never heard it played on piano until tonight, thank you. I miss my brother, I love you! Thank you for coming to Indianapolis.

[@silas6889]

I’am 34 years old, offspring was the first punk rock band when I was 9 years old.. today is one year after the death of my son. This song was used at his funeral.. I never wondering when I was nine this song will one day be a part of my life like this.. thanks to this beautiful version.this song make me cry now but help me also a lot 🖤

[@MrAffenSalat]

Thank you for the goosebumps and tears this one caused at the concert in Brisbane five days ago. Was the most magical moment when you could hear everyones grief and pain

[@cobblestone3089]

i lost my dog back in 2015, there isnt a day that goes by that i dont think about him and this song feels like a tribute to his soul, if i could trade i would

[@JohnSnow-lb6xi]

Been a fan of The Offspring Since I was 7 (36 now) and I'm hearing this for the first time. Beautiful

[@aprilquist4059]

Same! I relent disobeying my father and going to an offspring concert at the palladium in worcester, ma. Crazy

[@MrHeff]

Offspring forever!

[@ZAPRUDERPRIME]

I lost someone I really loved along time ago when I was still young. The original more aggressive version of this song really spoke to me, it was pain, sorrow and anger. Seven years later... My heartS still broken, except the angers gone like this song. Now all thats left is the somber taste of sorrow.

[@vanesaradayoung7099]

This version of the song made me cry watching it live on concert because my aunt just passed away about 2 weeks ago. This is the song that I didn't knew I needed to hear, thank you so much Dexter!

[@symptomsofdecay]

This version seems to be made especially for the sad and dark moments in life. Funerals for example. It's intense.

[@vkoukku]

I was just going to comment same thing. I would use this version on my funeral. Buried my cousin yesterday, and played this song on my way home. OMG those feelings what i felt ;(

[@miguelmelchior986]

Execly, when one of them is gone away, this will strike like a bomb with emotion.

[@mikecouch7242]

This sounds a lot more powerful than the original 😥😥❤️❤️

[@Dexte77]

It is a pity that I cannot tell you personally, but at least I will tell you on your personal channel. Thank you for your creativity. Thank you for those wonderful days that I spent with you. Thank you for the wonderful years that I have lived with you. You and your music helped me to live in the most difficult life situations. I have been listening and admiring you since I was 10, and now I'm 34. One of the goals of my life is to attend your concert. I really hope you will come to Ukraine. Love you. You are better than anything that ever happened to punk rock. Your lifelong fan Dmitry.

[@shannondavis85]

Why am I just now hearing this version. Wow! Awesome stuff. Offspring are legends.

[@90Gilbow]

This song hits me so hard and even more now 😭

[@LostAncients]

This one hits just as hard as the original. Dexter has so much emotion in his voice, and it has carried over years later by making a song that had so much feeling, bring up even more feeling.

[@alphabetsoup6817]

Saw you guys at blossom in ohio and you played this song and it just hit me for some reason and i was holding my phone up in the sky bawling my eyes out. Ill never forget that moment. Thanks guys. ❤

[@scottsmith7337]

I was at that show with my wife , we live in Medina and I’ve wanted to see The Offspring since 1997 when I first heard Gone Away on the Gravatron at the Ohio State Fair , I cried so hard during this song

[@JamesHardyFruitMachines]

I've been listening to this for a while and I prefer this to the original albeit both great versions.

[@oniemployee3437]

I was listening to Ixnay on the Hombre a week or so ago after discovering how much I actually like these guys' music instead of 1-2 songs, and "Gone Away" came up. Nothing too special, right? I song about losing a loved one in their style. Then came this album and I listened to it in that same week, missing something. Then, at the end of everything, came the piano rendition of that same song. 20-something years after the normal version it's still there, and I couldnt help but feel like there was a reason for it. Fucking love these guys!

Back in September of 2022 my wife got pregnant. We were scared as hell as this would be our second child. We decided to name the child “Oliver” Anyways we found out the little baby had passed away and my wife had to have a procedure to remove it. I couldn’t imagine her pain. The lyric of this song that gets me is, “I reach to the sky and call out your name… and if I I could trade I would.” I literally laid down in the grass during a thunderstorm and reached toward the sky and screamed out his name. It was like I was screaming to release all of my pain. It’s something I was embarrassed to admit but you know what? I loved that kid and even though he left me before he was born, he was my boy. Every day I think about how my day would be with my little boy Oliver. I miss you Oliver.
