Its been 15 years since i got home. Im still fighting demons, its gotten better but there are still bad days. When those days surround me i get on the bike put this song on and cover the miles until they leave me alone. Thank you sir
You aren’t alone brother. Never give up there’s always someone to talk to that understands. I’ve been out for 10 years multiple deployments in both theaters saw the worst of humanity. Never give up no matter how dark it gets or how hard the memories hit
Omg this song and performance with Sully and Lisa is Superb!!!! I feel their harmony reaching thru to Heaven along with my petitions to our Wonderful Creator! ❤
And remember the lifetime “Oath” you took. We love you, we thank you, we appreciate you and are aware of your love of Country and your courageous self for standing alongside other Countrymen to defend our Country from Terrorist who consider Terrorism a “Holy War” off of American soil. I know it is our GOD’S place to JUDGE. But he also gave us common sense and the ability to know the difference between right and wrong. A “Holy War” and a Holy War, I think NOT!! Thank you for everything you did out of LOVE for our Country and it’s Countrymen’s citizenry. GOD IS LOVE. 1 John 4:8 ♥️🇺🇸
@@carolwalston5574 thank you for this. God knows how much we suffer after we come back. Returning to humanity is not easy after 8 years in Iraq. The bloodshed, burning bodies, my brothers lives. Yes I've been a serious sinner, but am now forgiven only by God's great grace and mercy. It's tattooed on my forearm "Forgiven"
@@bulldozer7656 You’re very welcome Soldier. Definitions: Grace- Unmerited favor Mercy- Loving kindness, GOD is good to his true servants. Hope- Romans 5:3-5. ♥️🇺🇸
SEE SULLY LIVE! IT IS SO FREAKING AMAZING, & YOU WILL BE IN AWE OF THIS MUSICAL ENERGIZER BUNNY!! HE NEVER MISSES A NOTE, PLAYS EVERY INSTRUMENT, AND EVEN..... WELL I DON'T WANT TO SPOIL IT FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN HIM LIVE YET!! GO TO ANY LIVE SULLY SHOWS YOU WILL AGREE!!
This is one of the greatest albums ever made. I'm not just saying it. It truly is an audio work of art that has Erna's passion and heart in every track. In an age where it is about shock value, Auto-tune and glamour instead of the music, this album is the real deal. For those who long for real music of today, don't miss this album; share it with as many people as possible.
@@carolwalston5574 Howdy!! I just got new hearing aids from the VA and can actually hear again. They even have Bluetooth so music is so much better!! I just had to tell someone.. 45 and single, and mostly deaf. IED's in Iraq will do that to you. Either way, Howdy!!
Such a hauntingly beautiful song. Sully is one of the most talented musicians and gives so much of himself in every song he writes and performs. Sully / Godsmack will always be what every musician creates when they truely are "their music" .
I agree an these people putting him down are pissing me off, because can they play the drums, can they sing and can they write music, can they play the guitar, No so why do they complain . I like his new solo stuff, I like his lyrics. And every album can't be a hit, there's a lot of competition out here. you stick by your band you, try to get into what you can with the music, until something better comes. the band members all have lives everything can't be a hit. And these people sit back and b**** while they're at home not writing any songs, could they do this no.
i've lived many years in States. i came back to my place of birth. met girl she loved this kinde of music. it was 2002. everything its new with them. Sully dont't stop!!!
Oh my, no one’s said it yet!! ANYONE WATCHING IN 2024? (Let’s cover 2025, 2026 and 2027!! So we’re not disturbed by such comments and absorb this art🙏🏻⚖️). I’m a sinner, hold my prayers up to our Father’s only begotten Son, The Christ Yahusha Hamashiach of Nazareth ❤️🙏🏻⚖️
Yup-I find it interesting that Sully writes about sin in this song but is an atheist. I love the album due to all the percussive elements but there's alot of mixing of different beliefs throughout
My husband and I have been to many concerts. We traveled to Boston from PA for this live recording, and it was easily one of the best shows we’ve ever been to. The acoustics were amazing!
All of the songs from Avalon touch me in such personal ways, it's like Sully had the ability to look into everyone's mind and wrote songs for everyone to feel and be part of. Is there anything better than the gift of music? I am grateful that despite the tumor in my head that had taken away hearing in 1 ear, I still have one left to enjoy masterpieces like this.
This man surely sings from his soul. And thats what sets him apart from everyone else, and being the reason his music pulls me through everything. His deep sounds hit deep...
Just found it today. Wow!! I grew I thought the best music in the world the seventies. Now that I'm old lady just turned sixty eight I found these guys Five Finger Death Punch. Jelly Roll and of Disturbed. said the singer has Gods voice shine down and many more. My sister says I have horrible taste in music and my niece and nephews think I'm cool. I think I'm open minded.
At 32, listening to him again sheds new light on the depth of this song. I absolutely appreciate & respect how real so many of these lyrics are! In Sully's songs & Godsmack. Much love ❤ Can't wait til I can see you in concert! Wish I were able to make your guys' Washington show this year! Keep rocking it & touching the souls of so many people!
since I was 9 years old I loved rocking and raging out to Godsmack. always put to words how I felt. pissed. betrayed. disappointed. strong. ruthless. and 18 years later I still do... but this solo and more grown up stuff mirrors my steps and how far I've come as well... BRAVO sully BRAVO
I wish my mama was still here to hear Sully's music, she loved Godsmack. Sully Erna s music and Godsmack s music have always been my escape, I feel like I can relate to all their music. Thank you for being a wonderful musician and band
I have always been a country type of person until my fiance introduced me to Sully and now I find myself listening to everything from him. I am head over heels for his music. He is phenomenal and I absolutely LOVE everything he has created. THANK YOU SULLY FOR YOUR PERFECT MUSIC...YOU ARE PERFECT IN MY EYES
I don't know if you're reading this or even if you care, but I don't see you as a pagan, I see you as a brother in Christ, someone who has struggled long and hard with God, someone who is seen the reality of the devil face to face, and someone who has come to the conclusion that only God can save a sinner like me,
The number of instruments and talent, accompanied by Irina's Cello (She's stunningly beautiful), brings a harmony to which I have never heard before. So many of the songs on the album, especially "Until Then", wakes me up in every fashion. Thank you, Sully! Semper Fi! Dave
This is quite amazing. I'm an 18 year old girl and I grew up with this kind of music around the house. Metallica, Godsmack, Megadeath, and a bunch of others. This is real music, this has real soul put into it. At a metal/rock concert I am at my most vunerable because I get lost in the music and I let out all my emotions to cleanse my soul. I know that sounds a bit weird/creepy but that's how I am :)
When I read your comment and this part hit me because I just felt every emotion throughout my body! "I get lost in the music and let out all my emotions to cleanse my soul" love how these words speak to me! ❤
Sully I love your music brother heaven will never be closed to you God loves everyone all you have to do is accept his gift of eternal life confess your sins and repent ask Jesus into your heart it does not matter what you have done you ask for forgiveness it will be given to you nothin but love brother
Beautiful song beautifully played..I first heard this song right here and I fell in love with it, Im a late Shinedown fan, but the love is very real ❤❤
I first heard this song when I was in middle school. It still puts me in a different plane. I have never felt so at peace listening to an album before. Avalon still hits me as hard now as it did back then. Growing up listening to Godsmack & Sully's solo work is such an awesome thing. Very thankful for my parents giving me a good taste in music.
this what I like singers do when they do a solo album, something different and shows how musically passionate they are. I love how he explains himself in his cover art of the album.
@Sully Erna bruh ur not the real sully. He’s been on RU-vid way longer and wouldn’t do this. Have u met the guy irl? Stop catfishing. Sully deserves better
I can't belive I just discovered this song Still remeber the first time when I heard Serenity and Speak while was working in HRC Dubai 12 years later I am stil listening to them Can't get enough And Sully...
Such a different sound of music ! Which is a fresh breathe of air! Some music now is not music! These guys all of them are true blue musicians! Love This❤
Sully I just started really listening to your music and it is a true blue masterpiece. I love your voice and I must say you are what I call a REAL TRUE MUSICIAN. I love all kinds of music from Elvis Presley to AL Green. I hope in the near future you do a similar album like Avalon, I think Lisa is also a great musician and you both are great together. Keep it coming handsome!
Me also. I found this song by mistake. And now I can't stop listening to it. Can't wait to play on speaker at my job. I'm sure they'll appreciate the melody of this masterpiece.
WOW gerade über dieses Lied gestolpert noch nie was von gehört aber ich höre es gerade zum vierten Mal hinter einander knallt richtig gut durch meinen Kopfhörer 🙏❤️
This is proof sully erna has a great god given talent. God smack or sully erna! He can sink and do anything! What a blessed individual!! He is a true gift to this world! I have listened to this song literally 100's of times!!!
I was fortunate to have met Lisa a couple of years ago at a small venue concert at a local bar in Portsmouth, NH. Such a beautiful lady inside and out. Took a few minutes to talk and take a selfie with me. The following fall I got to see Godsmack and they were incredible live. Front row seats Only thing between me and the band was a guard rail and security. Probably the best year in my life, after one of my worse.
This is an amazing album by Sully. Also, Lisa is an amazing singer as well and the two of them together is beautiful harmony. Thanks to you two for sharing your gifts with all of us!!!!
@Sully Erna I mean I'd love to believe that it's "really" Sully, however I'm doing great. Welcome to Florida. It's hot here most of the time, but if you live near a coast, you'll have the ocean breeze. Stay well. And blessed be
I've been a big guts back fan since the first album and I'm 52 and this is just gorgeous I love this keep it up. ☮️ you and led Zeppelin are my favorite bands
After years of being a Godsmack fan, I heard through the grapevine that Erna has a solo album. I found "Avalon" and I am blown away. wow. I have always favored songs like Voodoo and Serenity, so naturally I am very impressed with this album and it's contents. Well done, sir. I sincerely applaud you.
Sully is a great talent . I know the lyrics of this song are going to hit the spirit of a person that is close to me . I hope that person is staying strong . He is very loved . Thank you Sully for creating this song .
Many words have been written on the word "Forgiveness" as I have learned it is forgiveness of self that is the hardest to do for worthiness of grace is a deep place one must transcend into and until your job is done as your eyes close you will never know if Heaven is open or closed!
Lost my husband in Apr 2020 - due to Remdesivir/Vent - hospital death camp. He & I always listened to this song, while driving cross-country and he is still on my shoulder with me today, every step of the way, through this wild ride on this earth. Thank you, for such a moving emotional song, that made me think twice every time I have heard it!
NFL what a joke!!!!. honor the 3% Sinners Prayer and what have i done is not about playing a sport. it speaks of what i have done for those that needs us . we do unspeakable things so others may live U.S.A. ARMY
Sully never disappoint saw him with a few members of this band a few years ago in upstate NY at Turning Stone Resort& Casino...have to say both show were the most influential nights I've ever witnessed when it came to a concert! cant wait to finally meet the man whose music got me through some very difficult times, Godsmack fan for life!!!
Ekaterina So I've had a few to drink this early morning, and can quite clearly see this comment has a bit of age, but I CAN say this... Music is not bound by time itself. If an artist or song speaks to you, it is going to for eternity. It left a permanent mark on you for all of time. If a path of music strikes you as such, then clearly it is meant for you. Listen to it whenever you need it... Or even when it might need you to listen to IT. I love Sully's work, both Godsmack and his own sound... But his own personal work is so deep holy fuck, I can feel it. But maybe that is the 8 various bottles of Stone Brewery talking. Lol. Idk, I just wanna meet this man in real life, buy him a few rounds, and just straight bullshit and talk about whatever. Anywho, I'll take my rambling self elsewhere. I wish all a happy rest of 2017 and a happier ALL of 2018. Cheers, ladies and gentlemen.
To love the right, Yet do so wrong. To be the weak, Yet burn to be so strong. Go rider, although your ride has been through lies. Go rider, see your soul through the devils eyes. If I could live my life again, Would I live that life in sin? Go rider, go ride into the night. Go rider, now see your soul through a woman's eyes. I am sinner. Hold my prayers up to the sun. (Hold my prayers up to the sun) I am sinner. Heaven's closed for what I've done. What have I done? (What have I done?) What have I done? I am sinner. (I am sinner) Hold my prayers up to the sun. (Hold my prayers up to the sun) I am sinner. Heaven's closed for what I've done. Heaven's closed for what I've done.
Sully you my man are one hell of a talented individual, I have never heard a song from you yet that isn't awesome. The music on the one hand, and the lyrics bring very song into your, heart, soul and mind like a freight train...... Well done brother.
