"Gone Away" is a song by American rockband the Offspring. Written by the band's singer, Dexter Holland, it was released as the second single from the band's fourth studio album, Ixnay on the Hombre (1997). "Gone Away" was the most successful single off of Ixnay on the Hombre, making it to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks and #4 on the Modern Rock Tracks.
This song has helped many Offspring fans cope with loss. Holland told Kerrang!: "I get some letters from people saying how much 'Gone Away' - which is about losing someone - means to them, from parents who have written to me to say that it helped them get over the loss of their son who died from leukemia. It rips your heart out."
Holland started doing this song during the Offspring's gigs solo on the piano. "A rock show can feel like bam bam bam, and we wanted to take a minute in the middle of the set to let everyone breathe. Sit down for a minute, stop screaming." Holland noticed his acoustic rendition was connecting live. As he was also getting numerous supportive messages on social media, he decided to record a piano and strings version for their 2021 album Let The Bad Times Roll. "It makes it feel different in a way I think is cool. It was weird recording it; I'm so used to weird, loud, messy guitars that cover up all your imperfections, and it felt pretty vulnerable, quite frankly."

Text: Vampires and immortals are two entirely different things. The society exists to match endless blood with endless thirst, creating eternal families, whose passion and politics rival that of gods.
