My big brother just left us here, on earth, June, 10th due to cancer.. and, I miss him so much!! This was one of his favorite songs and it's crazy to think that he would be knocking on heavens door, so soon.. I hope to join him very soon.. 😔

[xanderpersley]

My uncle passed away today and this was his song I’ve played it over and over … I’m absolutely heartbroken 😢I have so many memories with this song ..

[pheeberowe]

This was one of brothers favorite songs to play on his guitar. So when he passed away his best friend and our cousin played it at his funeral.

My uncle has been battling cancer for 7 Years. He has now been given a week or less to live. It hurts so much. It feels like my world is crashing. This is the best uncle I'll ever have. He's been there for me non stop. Anything I needed he was there. This is his favorite song. I love you uncle Waylon. Please watch over me

dont be too upset if you lose someone. I know this is cliche but they really do go on to a better place and you will see them again. I lost my mom a few months ago. i feel a lose but at the same time i am happy for her, she got to go home

[tatedeuel]

is about accepting and embracing the inevitability of death, and the idea of never truly being given a fair chance beyond the life that you live. The singer seems to be reflecting on his life, feeling like he has been wronged, and considers death an alternate way out from the oppressive life that he lives. He asks his mother to take away his gun—the one thing that gives him a semblance of power—and feels himself being ”knockin on heaven's door, ” metaphorically indicating he is coming close to death. The spoken solo in the middle provides insight into the state of life the singer has been living, and the fact that it is not luck that will get him out of it alive. The song is a reflection of our mortality, and a reminder to make the best of our limited time on earth.

Mi hermano se acaba de morir, y esta música me recuerda cuando eramos pequeños, la música deja plasmado los recuerdos en el corazón y la mente.

this song is for everyone I've lost close to my heart 💔😇

[angieramirez]

Mama take this badge from me I can’t use it anymore…. It’s gettin dark, too dark to see. Feels like I’m knocking on heavens door. Momma put my guns in the ground. I can’t shoot them anymore. That cold black cloud is coming down. Feels like I’m knocking on heavens door….

Rest In Peace to my baby little Wilson, although I never got too meet you it kills me everyday still 😢❤️

Piano, guitarra y coro un orgasmo auditivo, y ese tono faríngeo todo una obra maestra, en mi época de liceo me hacía la vida llevadera.🤘
