Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away [Official Music Video]

Watch the official music video for So Far Away by Avenged Sevenfold from the album Nightmare.

This video is a raw and emotional tribute to Avenged Sevenfold's late drummer Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan and celebrates the long-time friendship the band members have shared since forming A7X in Huntington Beach, CA, in 1999. The video was directed by Wayne Isham, who has directed videos for such artists as Metallica, Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, and Def Leppard, among many others. The heartfelt quality of the video is in keeping with the emotional resonance of the song, a very personal goodbye to Sullivan that appears on the band's album Nightmare.

Follow A7X:

Avenged Sevenfold is a rock band renowned for their hits “So Far Away,” “Hail To The King,” “Nightmare,” “Dear God,” “Afterlife,” “A Little Piece Of Heaven,” and “Buried Alive.” They worked with artists like Metallica, Slash, and NOFX — amassing billions of global streams and garnering critical acclaim.

Lyrics:
Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal 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 to rest
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay
You can 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

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a 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 but 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 lets 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

11 years, the world still misses you Jimmy.

[yunusnzeg]

It hurts when the person you made memories with,
Becomes a memory...

[davaarindra]

is anyone still listening to this song in 2024?

[DookieDodger]

My dad just passed, and I just found myself here at this song. Sitting on my deck trying to process everything, starting up at the night sky. Probably the thousandth time I've heard this song, but it hit me a whole lot harder tonight. It brought me tears, but also peace, it made me feel as close to him as I could get now.

[sullivan]

12 years passed since he left, his memories and music is still with us. Gone too soon, farewell James ‘The Rev' Sullivan.
Update : Feb.9 Happy Birthday Jimmy.

Rest in piece Jimmy "the Reverend" Sullivan.

I liked this song when it came out.

Then I lost the love of my life, my wife for 20 years, to cancer a few months ago. Now it’s one of the only songs that’s keeping me breathing.

Lagu ini meningatkan tentang arwah atok saya, Allahyarham Ahmad Termizi, pemain drum kumpulan Evolusi tahun 90an.... Arwah meninggal dunia pada tahun 2021.... Mari kita sedekahkan Al-Fatihah dan semoga arwah dicucuri rahmat dan di tempat kan dikalangan orang-orang yang beriman, 🤲🏻

My son passed away 2 years ago today. He was a drummer and a huge fan of The Rev. I hope he is jamming with The Rev now like he always wanted. .

"how do i live without the ones i love"

1986-2016
Its been 5 years. I really miss you, mom.

[fatahillahajeng]

Never feared for anything
Tidak pernah takut pada apapun
Never shamed but never free
Tidak pernah malu namun tidak pernah bebas
A life that healed the broken heart
Hidup yang menyembuhkan hati yang patah
With all that it could
Dengan segala yang bisa dilakukannya

Lived a life so endlessly
Menjalani hidup yang abadi
Saw beyond what others see
Melihat yang tidak dilihat orang lain
I tried to heal your broken heart
Aku berusaha untuk menyembuhkan patah hatimu
With all that I could
Dengan segala yang aku bisa
Will you stay?
Akankah kamu tetap di sini?
Will you stay away forever?
Akankah kamu menjauh selamanya?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Bagaimana aku bisa hidup tanpa orang-orang yang aku cintai?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Waktu masih membalik halaman buku yang dibakarnya
Place in time always on my mind
Kenangan masa lalu selalu di pikiranku
I have so much to say but you're so far away
Ada begitu banyak yang ingin kukatakan tapi kamu begitu jauh

[nayfosila]

The saddest thing about listening to this song now, is really living without the ones you loved. The question unfortunately is now answered.
