    This song was my late wife's favorite song by Floyd. She loved A7F and introduced me to them. This was published after she died and it hit me so hard when I just now heard this randomly on youtube. She used to play So Far Away all the time, ironically it is now a song I play to mourn her. Thank Avenged Seven Fold for this cover, it means more to me than you can imagine.

    So, so you think you can tell
    Heaven from hell
    Blue skies from pain
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
    Did they get you to trade
    Your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    And did you exchange
    A walk on part in the war
    For a lead role in a cage?
    How I wish, how I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls
    Swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    And how we found
    The same old fears
    Wish you were here
    How I wish, how I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls
    Swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    And how we found
    The same old fears
    Wish you were here

    This song hits all the right points.
    At first they were afraid that you would turn it into another song, in an unflattering way.
    Your performance respects the original, and hits even harder in the sad places.
    I remembered my friend who I lost in the war, who I wish was here with us, and would have heard this performance.. I can already imagine the smile that would have appeared on his face..
    But he will always remain 22 years old.

    Me and my Dad never talked around much. He was more into teaching me the values and purpose on how to live my life and be a pillar to the family. Back then I didn't know that he had brain tumour. It was only during the last stages of his life after the chemo that I discovered and he didn't want me to be sad either by his situation. This song is a connection of two lives without words but by a stronger bond of understanding. Its been 9 years now ever since he passed away. And this song is something that reminds me of the good old days that I spent with my dad. He was my Hero after all. RIP Dad. You were a good man. I hope I grow up to be the man you wanted me to be

    So, so you think you can tell
    Heaven from Hell
    Blue skies from pain?
    Can you tell a green field
    From a cold steel rail?
    A smile from a veil?
    Do you think you can tell?
    And did they get you to trade
    Your heroes for ghosts?
    Hot ashes for trees?
    Hot air for a cool breeze?
    Cold comfort for change?
    And did you exchange
    A walk on part in the war
    For a leading role in a cage?
    How I wish, how I wish you were here
    We're just two lost souls
    Swimming in a fish bowl
    Year after year
    Running over the same old ground
    What have we found?
    The same old fears
    Wish you were here

      @Josh-ml1hn 6 ปีที่แล้ว +60

      Obviously you could never beat David Gilmour's own version of the song, but I'd argue that covers are never made to try and outperform an original version. Personally I think it's great that A7X are releasing new content between their albums instead of going silent for 2-3 years. Plus, the changes in genre just show how versatile they are as a band.

    • @xGuitarInFlamesx
      @xGuitarInFlamesx 6 ปีที่แล้ว +78

      Why is it too hard to understand that the main reason of all these covers is to invite the new generations to listen the old classics that inspired this band.

      Tomas Garces Chaparro Simple. The original can be heard at least once a day on any classic rock station and it’s far superior to this. This cover isn’t about “inviting new generations” to the music of Pink Floyd; it’s called a “cash grab”.

      xD, you can hate as much as you want, i'm telling you what the band said, and what any real fan knows about this band is that they never forget their roots, they are always giving like "shout out" to other bands.
      This is a beautiful piece of art, a really well done cover with many cool images of their last tour with Metallica, and I had to pay nothing to watch it over and over again, for me it's something to be thankful of.

      I love A7X and I can see them doing this song live. But to record a studio version of this? No. This is about 7% as good as Pink Floyd did. It's so stupid to do covers and try to see how close to the original you can come. The only way to pull this off is to do covers the way old Van Halen did in the late 70s - making the songs their own...

      What? Thats exactly what I said xD
      Btw, for being the song owner doesn't mean he/they play the song better, for example, a shitty singer can write a shitty song and other musician can turn it into a beautiful song. But in that case there's no chance anyone could do better than Pink Floyd on their songs.

      I feel you man. My dad passed away a few months ago, and we played the PF original at the funeral. It was our favorite Pink Floyd song. For me this song holds so much, and this cover is amazing!
