When you miss someone –

1. Pantera, ‘Cemetry Gates’ 1990

”Believe the word

I will unlock my door

And pass the

Cemetery gates”

Numerous inspirations have credited to the song. Phil Anselmo, the lead singer stated that ”The lyrics lament the death of a female lover and the prospect of dying or committing suicide and rejoining her in the afterlife.”

2. Eric Clapton, ‘Tears In Life’ 1992

”Beyond the door, there’s peace I’m sure

And I know there’ll be no more tears in heaven”

The song is about the pain and loss Clapton felt following the death of his 4-year-old son, Conor.

“There is a song that I’ve written for a movie, but in actual fact it was in the back of my head but it didn’t really have a reason for being until I was scoring this movie which I did a little while ago and then it sort of had a reason to be. And it is a little ambiguous because it could be taken to be about Conor but it also is meant to be part of the film.,” said Clapton in an interview with Sue Lawley in 1992.

3. The Offspring, ‘Gone Away’ 1997 

”The world is so cold

Now that you’ve gone away”

Gone Away is a much more mature song than what The Offspring are known for. This song is the response of the lead singer, Dexter Holland when he get to know about her girlfriend’s accidental death. You may like this song while hating it same time because it is about the person who you lost in your life but at the same time, it gives a hope that you still are with that dear person.

‘If I leave you it doesn’t mean I love you any less

Keep me in your heart for a while”

Warren intended the song at his farewell, this was the last song recorded by him before his death. This song is about a person who is not with you anymore and will give you a sense of conversation with the person who may not with you around anymore but will always be there in your heart.

5. Jo De Messina ‘Heaven Was Needing A Hero’ 2005

”I guess Heaven was needing a hero

Somebody just like you

Brave enough to stand up

For what you believe”

6. Frank Turner, ‘Long Live The Queen’ 2008

it’s just now you’ll have to dance for the two of us

So stop looking so damn depressed

And sing with all your heart that the queen is dead”

The deeply moving lyrics and fiercely personal tone the song will make you feel the pain along with uplifting you. This song is harrowing but also a celebration.

7. Crystal Shawanda, “You can let go now daddy” 2008

You can let go

Oh, I think I’m ready

To do this on my own”
