@@AEWYUthat’s false. The Rev was born with an enlarged heart, and he died from complications. Synyster Gates, the guitarist, wrote the song as a tribute to him. At least partially wrote it, iirc
Everyone with pure heart who knows what their friendship like, will surely feel the sadness this song try to deliver. When The Rev's gone, it was not only his bandmates who lost him, we all did.
I lost it on this song when it first came out. This came out shortly after my grandmother passed who was one of the most important people in my life. She passed shortly after I turned 18 im now 33 and revisit this song with other loved ones now that are no longer here.
My grandma passed in February and she was my second mom. If your grandma was anything like my grandma, she’s a saint. Here’s to the best grandmas in the world! 🎉🍾
I too can relate tis.... Avenged sevenfold can quickly change ur emotions in a matter of seconds in few songs..such an awesome band out there who's gone through a lot of shit💯
If you haven't lose someone so close to you in your life, you will never truly know what it feels like. This song hit me so hard. RIP brother from another mother. I'll see you soon 😢
Telling ya, everybody was emotional from the rev passing away, and the band did not hide that one bit. A bunch of times, members of the band broke down crying during their live shows when playing dedicated songs to the rev.
This song was supposed to play at my grandfathers funeral. My extended family told me it would. And it wasnt. I had never been more heartbroken and angry at the same time in my life.
This song in itself is already very surgical, the solo, the melody, the lyrics, everything talks about the pain of a loss, a goodbye, you don't need to know the context to understand this. Of course, the band's fans know that it's about the death of The Rev, but even so, those who don't know, see that this song has a feeling involved.
Listen don't hold those tears back dear. Apparently they need to come out. Its healthy to cry sweetie. I suggest Listen to it over and over until you don't cry no more. You will feel better. Much love to you dear
My girl interested me in A7X in march 2023. Now we have tickets A7X Life Is But A Dream Package for West Palm Beach show in september. Regards from Poland.
I listen to So Far Away because my Cousin is Far away, like 500km+ south in Nuuk, just studying, last time I listened to it when I was Really drunk like a few weeks ago
