Thanks Nevermore, the song Forever was appreciated by all

[Vision of Horror]

3 days ago, I buried my wife, mother of my only son. She was 25. How she passed away doesn't matter. Nothing really matters anymore, save for my son. Right now, I can't even be with him because I'm a total wreck. Sometimes life goes the way you want and suddenly everything seems to be taken from you. Never take your loved ones for granted. To all those who believe in some god, I pitty you for there is no god. No god would take my second half, my soulmate Anne from me.

It's weird how a song I once looked upon as whiny and dull, becomes full of meaning and brings up strong emotions. Her family asked me which song should be played for me on her burial and I chose "forever". A lot of people were in tears after the song. A lot of people loved Anne. Allthough the lyrics are even more depressing, I felt a bit... less alone.

So thanks Nevermore, especially Warrel Dane for his words. People probably will find it stupid and juvenile, but I'll always think of him as a distant friend who somewhat helped me in these terrible times.

Thanks for reading.

Goodbye.

First of all i wish u really all the best ... and i hope that u can live a normal
life when u got over it ...

Forever is an awesome song, and i dunno think that it`s juvenile and stupid -
cause 3 years ago my best friend died in a caraccident ... i did all of the
burial things and i also managed a funeral service - i also chose forever to be
played ... as well as on the funeral as on the funeral service ...

so i totally understand what u meant ...

i`m so sorry for u ...

Deeply sorry for your loss, losing someone so close to you, or somebody who meant everything to you, is the worst feeling in the world. I cannot say I empthazise 100% with you, since my loss wasn't as extreme as yous, but I can say this: I'm sure Warrel, and the rest of Nevermore, would feel good knowing that song from the band actually helped you. Life is unexpected, we can't ever see where we're going, but we can only figure things out once we get there. Again, I'm sorry.

 

[Lies and Perfidy]

Music is an amazing thing, isn't it?

Sorry for your loss, man, and sorry too that there's nothing more I can express than those paltry words. But I'm glad to know that a band I support has been able to get you through this time, and in my own tiny way, I helped out.

Good luck.

Losing someone you love is the most crushing experience in life. I don't believe in a god, but I've experienced some strange things in life, and these happenings have led me to believe that something happens to your energy (soul, spirt, whatever you call it) after death. Its comforting to me because I feel like the people I've lost are still around in some form. Its like they're on another plane of existence, and some chose to come back and check in on things...
In a way, maybe you're wife is still with you. I'm not pushing this belief on you..I hate it when people do that to me..so please don't be offended..

I feel the same way about Forever. Theres nothing juvenile about it..I cry everytime I hear it. That was a beautiful song to play.

I'm truly saddened to hear what happened to you.
Hang in there, mang...*hugs*

Damn, I was thinking about posting a thread exactly like this because I also had to bury a beloved person in the last week of December and since he died I´ve been listening to "Forever" over and over again, sometimes for hours without noticing anything happening around me. My deepest sympathy for what you´re going through, I can really understand how hard it is to find back to a normal way of life. Take good care of yourself, and also from me:

Thank you so much Nevermore, thank you Warrel for this one very special song.

 

[El Stormo]

Sorry to hear that, people. Nothng I can say can probably help you so I won't say anything.

 

[Reminiscence]

I have always loved that song of acute feeling. Dreaming Neon Black is my favorite Nevermore album, because of music and concept. Your story gave me shivers. I don't know what else to write...sorry is weak coming from a stranger. But I'm sorry for your loss nonetheless.

The rollercoaster ride of life is nothing if not eventful. Feel better, buddy. New times dawn, and with your son close to you, your wife lives on.

take care,

derek

My deepest condolonsces and sympathy. One of my best friends older brother shot himself when I was 16 and in Highschool. He shot himself in the mouth after ingesting about 30 "v" cut valiums when he found out he wife was cheating on him with his employer. Anyway, he loved Pink Floyd (I know
Warrel has a fond appreciation for "Old Pink") and there song "On The Turning Away" was played. I can barely listen to the song to this day and not cry. Music is a powerful and emotional thing.

 

[kittybeast]

So sorry for your loss. My sincerest sympathies and condolences. Music is so many things to us all, with music, love and memories she'll live on inside you and your son.

 

[Will Bozarth]

Man, sorry to hear that. Although I don't know how it feels to lose a wife, I can relate with what you said about feeling somewhat connected to Warrel through the lyrics he writes. It's such a strange thing. Through time, everything will get better. And visit here more often. We'll gladly try to take your mind off things.

 

[derek]

And visit here more often. We'll gladly try to take your mind off things.

My deepest sympathy to you and your son.

 

[metalkingdom]

Sorry about your loss. I couldn't imagine losing my life partner in such an untimely manner. One of the above posters is right about your wife living on through your son. Having children is the ONE thing that a person can do to live on past a physical death. Look out for him and ALWAYS be there for him. He will need you now more than ever!!!

There is a god, just not the one that the fairy tales tell us about. It is tied in to the universe and all of its inhabitants. There is a meaning to everything... even if that meaning isn't clear or obvious to us just yet.

 

[naboo]

I'm terribly sorry... I've never had anything that extreme happen to me and can't imagine how it must feel. Music has always helped me through tough times and I'm happy it's helping you too. Ever since the first time I heard it, I've been calling "Forever" one of the most emotional songs I've ever heard and I get the chills the whole time listening to it. My sympathies go out to you and your son, and although it may sound odd coming from a stranger, I couldn't even begin to imagine what it may be like and do feel sorry.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I hope I never have to feel your pain, sorry for your loss man.

 

[Tiff]

Wow...that is so tragic. Sorry to hear it. Really puts things in perspective when I think about how the worst things happening in my life right now pale in comparison to what you must be going through.
