IbanezJem Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sure, it`s creepy, but I`d buy the "Van Halens at Home" DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted November 16, 2020 Author Share Posted November 16, 2020 Sure, it`s creepy, but I`d buy the "Van Halens at Home" DVD. To be fair - because of the highly personal nature of the song and videos - it does feel slightly wrong to be watching those clips in Wolf's video. I expected to see a wasting-away EVH at the end of the clip (and maybe I did? Was he sick in that last shot?). But Wolf is nothing but sincere. The song works because he is a dyed in the wool musician - and likely processes his pain through music, just like his pop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the video is highly personal, but Wolf`s solo album, if there is one beyond the song, has been in the works for about seven or eight years - was it a case of the song fitting the circumstances of losing Eddie, or the song being inspired by losing him? Not that it matters really. It`s beautiful to watch a happy Ed and Wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta say, Wolf is bigger than ever... from Wolf's youtube page: “As my pop continued to struggle with various health issues, I was imagining what my life would be like without him and how terribly I’d miss him. While the song is incredibly personal, I think anyone can relate to the idea of having a profound loss in their life. I never intended ‘Distance’ to be the very first piece of music people would hear from me, but I also thought my father would be here to celebrate its release. This is for him. I love and miss you, Pop.” - WVH Proceeds from “Distance” will be donated to Pop’s favorite charity, Mr. Holland's Opus FoundationMHOpus.org https://found.ee/MammothWVHhttps://www.Facebook.com/MammothWVHhttps://www.Instagram.com/MammothWVHhttps://www.Twitter.com/MammothWVHhttps://www.YouTube.com/MammothWVH Edited November 16, 2020 by chemistry1973 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I watched the video with the sound off. It's obvious Wolfie idolized his father. It's not easy to lose a parent when you are young.I'm grateful to him for sharing those personal moments with others who have no real right to see them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IbanezJem Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Doesn`t Wolf do everything? I don`t know if that turned out to be the case, but he was going to be writing, singing, bass, guitar, drums, keys, producer when the record was first mooted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick N. Backer Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 He has a good voice. And it's pretty clear that Eddie loved being a dad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chemistry1973 Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 It's powerful. Well written. The drums sound looped and drum-machiney - that's my only criticism. His voice is very cool, and he's not afraid to stretch out vocally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
