My son Christopher put this song as a ring tone on my phone and didn't realize I would be listening to this beautiful song Angel's son after my son Christopher passed away at home at age 36. 10 days sick and gone, without saying goodbye or love you or hear him say anything. I have listened to this song many times with tears falling down my face. I have blessed assurance Chris' spirit is alive with Abba Father and our Lord Jesus . Christ. Thank you Sevendust for your heart touching song. God bless all of you. ♥️

Man, the back up vocals are REALLY good. It's like having two lead singers.

R.I.P. James Lynn Strait

RIP Brian Garlock November 6, 1990 - June 12, 2008 One last song, given to an Angel's Son. I love you little brother.

I think it's awesome that Paul was playing keys for them during this.

I dedicate this song to my nephews Zachary (born 12-7-85, died 1-13-13) & Keegan (born 7-21-92, died 7-3-10) LOVE & MISS YOU BOTH !!!!

Who the FUCK could dislike this?

not only one of the best bands in the world, but also among the best live bands, and best individual musicians and songwriters. all of them together have created an intoxicating and super-powered force of rock that nobody could possibly stand up to

sevendust is the only music that makes my baby stop crying!! thank you sevendust!!

Finally made it through this song without breaking down..dammit I miss my sister

The night i lost my daughter i listened to this song and cried my heart out!! RIP serenity

that was one hell good live performance! they fucking nailed that shit!

This song is amazing. I didn't know about the existence of this version at David Letterman TV show.

Memorial Day rest easy brothers, USMC. Always Faithful

RIP Lynn. You were a beast.

R.I.P. dad..I miss you every day

I think I've commented before, but rewatching this again was just fantastic. And I noticed that Lajon says, "Thank you, Mr. Letterman." :) Just struck me as being so polite, instead of, "Thanks Dave!" or "Yeah man."

This song gives me goosebumps.

One of the most underrated bands of all time! The lead singer?? The Passion in his voice never fades

Proof that a band who plays AWESOME more "hard" (or hardcore) music are also VERY musically talented when it comes to more acoustic music. Gives me chills--very impressive both musically and emotionally.

Lynn Strait was the lead singer of the band "Snot" they toured a lot with Sevendust in the late 90's. Lynn was killed in a car accident as soon as Snot was gaining popularity. Sevendust now has a new guitarist who was a former guitarist of "Snot" after the departure of their origianl Guitarist. He went on to form Dark new day.

Such a unique sound. And Lajon's voice is so powerful.

Amazing band that hasn't ceased to amaze me for the past two decades

Lajon has such a powerful voice!!!

I literally dont think I have heard a more powerful applause at the end of a musical performance on Letterman. There arent even words that can be summoned out of the spirit to describe how good this song really is

25 years June 1st since my father died a month before my 9th birthday. This song has always been my go to, especially since it came out around the same time he died…now all the lyrics hit harder than before with having my own little girl. “I have a new life now She lives through you What can I do? Feel so alone now I pray for you We still love you”

Just pure perfect pitch, delivery...everything. So rare to see a perfect transition from studio to stage.

I love when Schaefer plays with the bands. This and him with the beastie boys are two of my favorites. He killed that string section.

for my brother carlos he passed away in 2015 and I still miss him so much always miss you chief

I saw Sevendust with Nonpoint and Wicked Wisdom, it was awesome. Lots of songs from Home and the opening bands rocked.

that has to be the best live band set on a late night show I've ever heard. They sounded absolutely beautiful and I love how Paul joined in on the keyboards. Im betting many in the audience and watching at home that night who had never heard of Sevendust were buying a new cd the next day. I know if that was the first I had heard from them I would have become an instant fan.

Hot ……DAMN. Talk about tearing it up as a BAND. (Did I spell ‘rip it up right’ here???) This!! This here, (kids take notes), this is badass. Uplifting. Sentimental. Righteous. And everyone is putting their balls on the line showing us- each member of the band is wielding their instrument/vocal/emotion weapons. Because they were hurting when they made this for fallen bro. Respect.

Touched by all the tributes everyone is posting. **group hug**

I love how Paul gets involved with the musical guests..he and Sevendust kick ass.

Lajon has the best voice in music, no question a out it! These guys are my favorite band and every single song they've come up with is pure gold!

one of my favorite videos on youtube

Love 3:23 when Clint and Lajon join together to remember a close friend...that face at 3:44 says it all. Beautiful...

My Grandmother passed away yesterday and for the last twenty four hours, I havent felt anything but the weight of the world baring down on me. Sometimes, in order to keep from crying, you have to smile- and with music like this its a whole lot easier. I miss you Grandma!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ill like you for always and Ill love you forever!

Amazing 'live" performance of the song. Great keyboard/string arrangement, too. Sevendust stands apart from many other bands in so many levels.

RIP Lynn strait and Dobbs. God bless

Normally i hate when Paul sits in with acts, but i think he made the song magical...

We LOVE SEVEN DUST in warren ohio! These KATZ are talented and will be remembered long after DEATH! You dudes ROCK real talk! LETZ GET IT!

I miss you dad so much . I never got to say goodbye and had so much to say 💚💚💚 thank you for coming to see me tonight! Iam your Angel son 😢

Ive been a fan of 7D since the "Seasons" record. I finally after 8 years of being my number 1 favorite rock band, I got to see them live in Chicago on the Carnival of Madness tour. They played this song and it was amazing live. I remember before they played it, LJ announced that Clint is expecting a son.

i miss the days when music like these actually exist.

Holy Crap!....the rest of the band can sing really well.

16bat yhe time you always remember how good of a person Lynn was... wish he could have seen how he was loved by all

I honestly think that this is the best version I've heard of this song. It's so melodic.

definitely one of the most beautiful songs ever!!!! i love these guys so much! they can bring it heavy or touch every emotion u have ever felt all in the same show!

I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE GOOOONE, AAH AAAAAAH I CAN'T BELIERRRRRRRRRVE !!!

i was at the sevendust concert in sydney australia,i will never forget how amazing they are! the best hard rock band in history.

Holy crap... what a KILLER live performance.

I saw Sevendust twice last year at the Machine Shop in FLINT MICHIGAN. I have a drumstick that says "sevendust" on it that Morgan Rose threw into the crowd that i caught. They played with Nonpoint one of the times i saw them. Both times were fucking AMAZING.

sevendust's really consistently good on record or live.. i miss the days when rock is made that way

What a great drum heavy recording!! And Paul slayed the keyboard as usual!!

I have no words, Clint,you are my idol!!!please get yor own band,and be the lead singer!!

my absolute favorite song ever... RIP Lynn and Dobbs..

I love how Passionate these guys are when they sing their music. I just saw them live in NH, and you can tell these guys love their music and performing it for us. I love these guys and finally got to meet Morgan, Clint and Lajon after the show. They are all awesome people!!! Can't wait until the next time they come so I can see them again! If you havent seen them live, PLEASE go see them. There is nothing that compares!

Eine Band die wirklich Musik macht und auch ohne Playback was drauf hat. A band that create good music and they can sing without playback. Great!!!

Quite possibly the best song they've ever done and the best version I've ever seen of it.

This song. Just. This song built me.

the best band ever!

these guys are totally amazing. I've been on board with them since the first album. How they AREN'T the hugest thing in hard rock right now is beyond me.

Best fucking song

its so nice to hear bands sound just as good live as they do on cd

I just saw these guys in concert a week ago in Tulsa, OK. It was an awesome show, i was stoked when they played this song.

be damn if this is not on a list 50 yrs from now as one of the greatest songs in recorded history dude!

...I have loved this song since it came out and remember tearing up watching the video with Lynn. This is the first time I heard this version, and again...I'm wiping my eyes as we speak.

love the song my best friend of 36 years introduced me to this video and was suddenly taken, still takes me to that time, unforgettable memories... thank you for capturing our time.

Holly s... this guys are AMAZING

dude,that guitarist has maybe the best live voice i have ever heard.

Love the song and I have mad love and respect for Sevendust!

What a fantastic performance!!

Wow. Powerful. Lj has a great voice

God man this song makes me miss my best friend Marc so much. He was murdered a few years ago trying to stop some guys from stealing his girlfriends car. Left behind two great kids, family and some dear friends.

i was fortunate enought to see these guys live a few years back...sadly they did not play this song as it is one of my all time favs. thanks for posting...damn good music!

Great song!!

Wow.. This song is so beautiful...

Fuckin' amazing! Sevendust is a beast!

This song always hits f.cking hard!! 🤘😪

Friggin' perfect yo! Exactly how I wanted it to be!!!🤘

Great find, thanks for posting it

what a great, soulful performance!!!

This song was made for the vocalist of SNOT, Lynn Strait... I also sing this song to my bandmate who died because kidney disease( I forgot the name) RIP Carlo/Caloy...

So beautiful. A great tribute song for a great group.

Very emotional, great song !

powerful lyrics and great music. R.I.P. James Lynn Strait

ONE LAST SONG, GIVEN TO AN ANGEL'S SON!! AS SOON AS YOU WERE GONE, AS SOON AS YOU WERE GONNNNE!!

Just lost a friend to cancer this song fits him perfect

They sound so good live! This is just awesome!

one of the most under rated bands!

I miss my son!!! He was and will be forever my Angel

his vibrato is the greatest. phenominal

arguably one of the best song's this band has written sucks that personal tragedy is often the motivator for composing strong work

That riff is sooo beautiful ...

What an amazing live performance. Damn.

My God! That was absolutely phenomenal!!!

I love Sevendust...props to Paul on the keys..Amazing

My Becky RIP I still love you

Esta canción es excelente! Ahora ya no hay música así !!!
