Love. Don’t you think that it’s a beautiful thing? Sure, love can be painful and hurt, but it helps us gain an appreciation for the word. There are many ways to express your love for someone or something, but it’s essential. Countless love songs exist, and the one that I want to share is special.

A few months ago (June 9), 3 Doors Down celebrated the anniversary of their sophomore album, Away From The Sun. One of the ways that the band celebrated this particular day was by realizing their original music video for their song “When I’m Gone.” 

Did you know the video had been buried in the band’s archives for 20 years? That’s hard to believe! The video didn’t come out because the band had the opportunity to perform their song in front of members of the US Military on the USS George Washington. 

They made their video with footage from that event. The video has over 160 million views and showcases the band’s live performance mixed with moments of military reunions. It’s probably easy to guess, but this song is about love.

If you’re a fan of the song the band or want to see a video from 20 years ago, then you’re in luck! The video has been up for the past three months and has over a million views. 

Marc Klasfeld directed the video, and it takes place in rural Mississippi. The video takes us on an unforgettable journey through a funeral procession and burial ceremony. The intensity of the band’s live performance leads us to an unexpected twist.

The band members become entombed in the muddy depths of their graves, and their captivating performance takes on an entirely new meaning! It blurs the lines between music, life, and death. It’s fascinating. You should have a look and experience it for yourself!

Love surrounds you whether you’re being buried underground or serving in the military. 

The band is on their Away From The Sun Anniversary Tour, which began on June 14. The series of shows will span 45 dates and include some of the group’s greatest hits. If you’re in the states, you should try to go to one of their shows!
