¡Un saludo a todos! Esta es mi primera entrada para el Hive Open Mic y como el tema de esta semana es “la muerte” decidí hacer un cover de la canción So Far Away de Avenged Sevenfold, ya que esta canción fue compuesta tras la muerte del baterista original de la banda Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. So Far Away es un tributo para él, por eso la letra tiene una narrativa en torno a la muerte y el cómo quedamos los vivos lidiando con la perdida de nuestros seres queridos.
Para mí es muy significativo tocar esta canción, ya que se trata presisamente de una canción inspirada por un evento como ese, además que es directamente sobre el baterista de la banda, por lo que hacerle un cover en batería me pareció lo ideal.
So Far Away es una canción muy linda, de esas que llegan al corazón y sin duda una de mis favoritas de la banda.
Greetings to all! This is my first entry for the Hive Open Mic and since the theme of this week is "death" I decided to make a cover of the song So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold, since this song was composed after the death of the original drummer of the band Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan. So Far Away is a tribute to him, that's why the lyrics have a narrative around death and how we, the living ones, deal with the loss of our loved ones.
For me it's very significant to play this song, since it's a song inspired by an event like that, and it's directly about the drummer of the band, so a drum cover seemed ideal.
So Far Away is a beautiful song, one of those that touches the heart and without a doubt one of my favorites of the band.
- Lyrics -
So Far Away
Never feared for anything
Never chained but never free
A light that healed the broken heart
With all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart
With all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid at rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Sleep tight I'm not afraid (not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (place for me)
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I love you, you were ready, the pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you when He let's me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know
