The part where Myles gets the crowd to sing the last chorus is just so powerful because you can tell Mark is fighting back tears there. It's just so powerful.
Myles looked straight at Mark when he sang the line "Even though you're gone, you still mean the world to me". Mark wrote the song for his mum, Myles sings it, but he looked right at Mark, almost like it was a reminder; "you wrote this, this is yours". And it almost overwhelms Mark. This video is something special.
I just lost my son last night...I've been listening to this song for awhile but never thought it would hit so close to home....I miss you so much Miles
How amazing and emotional would it have to be to hear that many people singing a song like this you wrote for your mom? I get choked up just watching. Of course, Mr. Kennedy could bring emotion out of a rock....but still.
Thanks for all you've done I've missed you for so long I can't believe you're gone You still live in me I feel you in the wind You guide me constantly I've never knew what it was to be alone, no 'Cause you were always there for me You were always home waiting And I'll come home and I miss your face so Smiling down on me I close my eyes to see And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me I carry the things that remind me of you In loving memory of The one that was so true You were as kind as you could be And even though you're gone You still mean the world to me I've never knew what it was to be alone, no 'Cause you were always there for me You were always home waiting But now I come home and it's not the same, no It feels empty and alone I can't believe you're gone And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me I'm glad He set you free from sorrow I'll still love you more tomorrow And you will be here with me still And what you did you did with feeling And you always found the meaning And you always will And you always will And you always will And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me
if ever a performance has been touching it's this one...when the crowd sings it back to them the look on Mark's face...waw man fuck... Myles did put a lot of feel in it too fucking hell!! every time it's hard not to cry with this one!
a lot of people have their own connection to this song. mine is very recent. I had to carry my best friend of 17 years to his final resting place. after the funeral I was driving around and had this song on my ipod. I usually play it on random and as I thought about some of the memories I shared with him this song began to play. I listen to it a lot more since then. RIP Harvey
A beautiful masterpiece. I'm lucky to have never lost someone so close. even just listening to this song is enough to make me think about those around me and how much I cherish them.
Dan Watson I feel the same way. I haven't even lost anyone that close yet and I already cry like a baby by listening to this, just imagine how it's going to be when the worst actually happens.
+Jon Samuel I just want to give Mark a bro hug. What a amazingly beautiful song. Such emotion filled lyrics. As with all AB songs all I can say is, WOW.
In this life I have lost so many people I loved. They are my Angels. My nephew passed in Japan. Air Force. I made tattoo December and I think I was the best sister a brother ever had. 6'3 full back piece
Mark played the song that he made for his mother, heard a crowd of people singing in front accompanied by the beautiful voice of Myles Kennedy, without missing a single note or shed a tear. Mark, I tip my hat to you, you're a legend.
I`m a 51 year old dumbass close to 52. Never had the best relations to my mother. She passed away 3 n a half years ago. Today I would be glad of being able to talk to her for only one moment. There`s so much left to say..... With tears in my eyes I dedicate this to my mother.
My mother passed away 1 year ago. God and this song helped me to be strong. I am glad He set her free from sorrow. My mother showed me this passage before she passed away, I hope this can help you in sad times. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go. Colossians 3:1-4
Every one of them is feeling what Mark felt and feels when he wrote and plays this song, it's beautiful to watch. It is the reason music is the language of the universe- no matter what part of the world you come from, or what your mother tongue is, music speaks directly to our souls :-) Amazing song and video, thanks for uploading.
I cannot ever listen to this song without tears pouring out of my eyes.....my grandmother died 14 years ago at 69 years old when she was robbed of her life with ALS. Every time I hear the lyrics it brings me back to the days she was hanging on the edge by a thread thanksgiving day in 2002 and i mean I know she's still with me in spirit but god damn....
My dad passed away on March 24th of 2008. And today is the 24th of March 2015 and on this day every year I light a candle and put it in front of his picture and say a prayer. This song means so much. I love it. it's an excellent song
AnToBiLLiEjOe93 I hear ya. It’s one of those songs that make you think about everyone that means anything to you. Simply a masterpiece. My favorite ballad of all time
Strange and sad how can we take our loved one for granted and only cherish when gone we fight argue throw stuff up in their faces fight over things yell lie deceive play games.truly a hopeless romantic me and continue to believe love over hate kindness over revenge. older I get the shorter it seems to be. that is life. so tho I try my best to do this I realize that lowering my expectations to the point that tho I do the right thing the only thing I may get from it is just that, love someone with their free will for them to choose what they do with it. losing someone is a atrocity in life because no matter how much in our hearts we may love someone it doesn't ensure death will never come bad days wrong decisions. so gracious honest kind love not waiting is the way we should be daily. one time I use to believe first sentence in the book of life was life is difficult now I believe different life gracious loving kindness will make those difficult days bearable so love be kind
Just lost my sweet dog a week ago and I can't believe I'm torturing myself by listening to this song. It is a very special song, just like my Bertha was. I'm basically disabled and spent all of my time with her. She was my best friend and I miss her so much. RIP my sweet girl.
I also lost my dog,he passed away in January. The sad thing is that he was just a puppy,and lived with me 4 days. That was the first time I cried in years
This is the first song that I listened of Alter bridge, it made me a big fan... Mark is a truly genious!!! I love you guys, I hope someday you come here to Brazil... Myles, I see you next month with Slash \o/ I can't fucking wait!!!!
*The Pain never goes away! My condolences Mark! I lost my Mother 2 hours after my Son was born. She had a heart attack on her way to see him. Thus, a year earlier Kim & I buried our twins at 4 months old. They were joined at the chest sharing One 6 Chamber heart! That was the WORST DAY OF MY LIFE, but I must go on for my Son. My Sister Beth died 3 yrs before our twins from cancer. I lost my Father 4 yrs after my Mom, and my Brother Larry in a few years ago. I've always played this song when I felt down because I made my baby girls song never knowing you wrote it for your Mother. This is the deepest time I've ever heard this song!! The audience sang to you as you looked out there!! Wow man I have to say I just felt that same way!! Thank You Mark for writing your Mothers Song. It's beautiful and it's broght many tears I needed to cry on these days I thought of them. God bless!, Stevoo.*
I still listen to this incredible song and have no idea how Mark kept his cool. Amazing the love his fans have for them. I’m one and can’t watch it without emotions it’s been too long of my mom’s leaving but it’s like yesterday. That’s an awesome human being, musician.... ❣️
Agreed, so respectful and considerate. Not making any noise such as whooping or shouting, that's what you can expect from the fans of this type of music.
My parents are well and I am so happy to have them here and now. But when I listen to this song my heart breaks somehow. When I read the comments of all those people who I even don't know, who lost loved ones, I can't help but cry. There's nothing you can do except keeping the memories of your dearest who are no longer among us. God bless you all.
It's gonna be a year Sept 21,2018 When we lost our dad, he past away on our moms birthday. And our mom past away a day after mothers day May 15,2016. It's still hard to believe their gone, I muss them so much , Thank you for this beautiful song. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
While my Mum was suffering through a long illness I knew this was the song for me. And now that she's gone, it just means so much more. Beautiful lyrics, awesome band.
I just lost my grandma today, I was looking for somewhere to leave a comment online, just for the sake of getting something out there, y'know? So this is to her, I love her, always will, and here's to carrying on the memories.
Be strong bro, there's too many sad and suffering moments in this life. Just don't give up. (sorry for basic english). Greetings and a big hug from Paraguay.
I lost my parents when I was 11. My aunt and uncle adopted my brother and I. My brother died fighting for the country and later followed by my aunty and uncle. I miss them so much and they forever live in me.
I miss my mom so bad , my soul is broken, she was my everything, my rock , snatched away in a second and my soul went with you . I stood in the rain watching them work on you I think I died too . Miss you mom my best friend 😢💔
my father died of brain cancer, 11 years ago, on this month. Though we far apart but he will always in my heart. and whenever I hear this song, it reminds me to him. I love you, Dad :')
I have always loved this song but in October of 2018 I lost my mom and it was really difficult getting through the holiday season without her. This song makes me cry everytime I hear it and I dedicate it to her. Mom you are missed and loved more than you know
Lost my father almost 3 years ago. His death anniversary is less than a month from now. Everytime I think of him I play this song to remind me how grateful I was to have him in my life and how he was always there for me. I miss you dad
One of my favourites by Alter Bridge. Always feel conflicted about singing along when I'm attending a live show and the song means so much to the composers and performers.
This song is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. My grandfather passed away 5 months ago and its still very hard at times. Thank you AB for this song. This song will always have a place in my heart. Just like my grandfather.
I only listen to this song when I am alone cos I cry like a baby hearing this. No song has touched me like this especially after I lost my mom 4 years ago. I will always you!
Vim conhecer essa banda a pouco tempo e percebi que perdi muito tempo em conhecer bandas boas ,essa música ja não sai mais da minha cabeça ,espetacular!!!!
Bryn, I am back home and listening again to the song and reading the message that you shared. I am speechless and cannot say word. I hope and wish for you, your family and friends that the pain will slowly goes away. I pray for all. Amen. GBY All
jordan patteson your man is getting your texts he is okay his messages are being sent but you obviously aren't getting them why don't know his phone is working now
Thanks for all you've done I've missed you for so long I can't believe you're gone You still live in me I feel you in the wind You guide me constantly I've never knew what it was to be alone, no 'Cause you were always there for me You were always home waiting And I'll come home and I miss your face so Smiling down on me I close my eyes to see And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me I carry the things that remind me of you In loving memory of The one that was so true You were as kind as you could be And even though you're gone You still mean the world to me I've never knew what it was to be alone, no 'Cause you were always there for me You were always home waiting But now I come home and it's not the same, no It feels empty and alone I can't believe you're gone And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me I'm glad He set you free from sorrow I'll still love you more tomorrow And you will be here with me still And what you did you did with feeling And you always found the meaning And you always will And you always will And you always will And I know, you're a part of me And it's your song that sets me free I sing it while I feel I can't hold on I sing tonight 'cause it comforts me
I lost my dad from cancer 4 years ago. It's still not the same without him whenever I come home as well. I'm amazed that Mark kept it together. I would've broken down if I was in his shoes.
To all those who says rock is just a music for deranged people and has no sentimental meaning, haven't known AB and i pity them. This song outbest those songs dedicated for the lost loveones. I have watched this performance over and over again, but it never cease to amaze me how it really touches my heart. And the crowd was great, that i can tell Mark is just holding it in. How i wish i am one of those people inside the venue.
I can never thank you enough Mark, Myles, Scott and Brian for this song! My mum has just passed away two days again and I feel so comforted and understood by it. I miss her so much.
