Eminem - When I'm Gone (Official Music Video)

Just lost my mother to lung Cancer yesterday... Needed to hear this. Thank you Eminem

Let's be real, even after all these years, we will always come back here and listen to this masterpiece

Listening to this song takes me back to my younger days, when I used to bump it on repeat. Now, as a parent with a 6-year-old daughter, the lyrics have taken on a new meaning and depth. It's amazing how music can evolve and grow with us throughout different phases of our lives. Eminem is a true master of his craft, and this song is a testament to his raw talent and ability to connect with his audience on a personal level.

My father is a stage 4 cancer patient, I am still unemployed trying to get a job. This is my go to song, after every meltdown. Thanks Em, hope you know, you are the one I am not on anti depressants,…and one day I will make it big. Love u em, keep churning these masterpieces , I am so lucky to be alive in your era. God couldn’t come down to inspire each of us, so he sent rappers like Em. Let’s show our gratitude by giving it all for our family’s happiness. Em fans are meant to stay strong, let’s be true Em fans fellas. ❤

Man i had this song on repeat for days back when it came out in 05 when i was in a dark place. Now in 22/23 another dark place and this song finds its way to me again. All these years later and i can still rap with em knowing all the lines. This guy is what artist means

Can’t wait until this hits 1 billion. Eminem will always go down in history as the underdog who changed his entire story, his entire families story. He’s not just a rapper. Please look into this legends life. He adopted kids he didn’t have to while dead broke, he strived so hard for his family. Gives me so much motivation. Always Em!

This song hits different as you get older.

This song is a pure masterpiece

I love eminem because of the meaning of the songs. He's live was a drama, but he's legend. He made his live. He made his live into a legend. After all he continue making music. Respect to eminem.

*It's been 13 years now but still new to me whenever I listen to it. It never gets old* ♥️♥️♥️

Eminem is such a legend. Remains so tough through all his shit he is has been through. Respect Marshall

Eminem will be one of the best legends, when He die the world will be crying for him

Damn as you get older you listen to the lyrics more and it just hits you…

Yeah, it's my life My own words, I guess Have you ever loved someone so much You'd give an arm for Not the expression, no Literally give an arm for When they know they're your heart And you know you are their armor And you will destroy anyone who would try to harm her But what happens when karma Turns right around and bites you And everything you stand for turns on you to spite you What happens when you become the main source of her pain "Daddy look what I made" "Dad's gotta go catch a plane" "Daddy where's mommy? I can't find mommy, where is she?" "I don't know, go play, Hailie baby, your daddy's busy Daddy's writing a song, this song ain't gon' write itself" I give you one underdog, and you gotta swing by yourself Then turn right around in that song and tell her you love her And put hands on her mother who's the spittin' image of her That's Slim Shady, yeah baby Slim Shady's crazy Shady made me But tonight, Shady's rock-a-bye baby And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back I keep havin' this dream I'm pushin' Hailie on a swing, she keeps screamin', she don't want me to sing "You're makin' mommy cry, why, why is mommy cryin'" "Baby, daddy ain't leavin' no more, daddy you're lyin' You always say that, you always say this is the last time But you ain't leavin' no more daddy, you're mine" She's pilin' boxes in front of the door tryin' to block it "Daddy please, daddy, don't leave, daddy, no, stop it" Goes in her pocket, pulls out a tiny necklace locket It's got a picture, "This will keep you safe daddy, take it with ya" I look up, it's just me standin' in the mirror These fuckin' walls must be talkin', 'cause man I can hear 'em They're sayin', "you got one more chance to do right And it's tonight, now go out and show 'em that you love 'em before it's too late" And just as I go to walk out of my bedroom door It turns to a stage, they're gone and the spotlight is on and I'm singin' And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back Sixty thousand people all jumpin' out their seat The curtain closes, they're throwin' roses at my feet I take a bow, and thank you all for comin' out They're screamin' so loud, I take one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seein' "Daddy, its me, help mommy, her wrists are bleedin'" But baby we're in Sweden How did you get to Sweden? "I followed you daddy You told me that you weren't leavin' You lied to me dad, and now you made mommy sad And I bought you this coin, it says number one dad That's all I wanted, I just want to give you this coin" "I get the point, fine, me and mommy are goin'" "But baby wait, it's too late dad, you made your choice Now go out there and show 'em that you love 'em more than us That's what they want They want you, Marshall They keep screamin' your name It's no wonder you can't go to sleep Just take another pill, yeah I bet you you will! You rap about it, yeah word, kid keep it real" I hear a applause, all this time I couldn't see How could it be, that the curtain is closin' on me I turn around, find a gun on the ground Cock it, put it to my brain, scream, "Die Shady!" And pop it The sky darkens, my life flashes The plane that I was supposed to be on, crashes, and burns to ashes That's when I wake up Alarm clock's ringing, there's birds singin' It's spring and Hailie's outside swingin' I walk right up to Kim and kiss her tell her I miss her Hailie just smiles and winks at her little sister almost as if to say And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back And when I'm gone just carry on don't mourn Rejoice every time you hear the sound of my voice, just know that I'm lookin' down on you smilin' And I didn't feel a thing so baby, don't feel no pain, just smile back

Still an all time favourite! Literally makes me ball my eyes out

I was born in 1993 and this is my favorite song of all time and I had my daughter last year ❤❤❤❤

Lost my dad in Covid. This song always reminds me of him. Eminem will always be that one rapper who will always be the best and my fav.

When you growing older and this song hit harder than usual

this song hits different as we get older cause we understand more and more

Melhor Rapper Da Humanidade from 🇦🇴 A cada Like eu volto aqui pra ouvir esse Hit 🔥🔥🚀

This song has always solidified for me the fact that Eminem can rap, yes, but he also has a beautiful voice. I cannot say enough about his heartwrenching verses that literally grab my heart and squeezes until I cant take another minute.

13 years later still a master peace ✌️🕊️

My dad played this song on repeat for a week before he passed away. Ty for letting me share

Not just a song Not just a track It's a feeling.

I don’t think people back then realized the deep meaning of this song until now

The emotion captured in this track is flawless..truly master piece.11/10

This gave me chills

The reason why his songs are timeless is because they come from all the hurt, the heartbreak and pain that were stored in his heart. Em shall be the greatest rapper of all time.

As a teen I loved It as an adult with kids I now understand it

If you still listening to this Masterpiece,You're a living legend.Respect💯

2023 Jan I lost my dad. Get comforted everytime when I listen to this song bcz it was his fav. He used to sing it for us as kids growing up. I never understood anything from it but now I do.

I swear to god, I've never listened to a song of yours before today. I always heard my dad talk big about you but never took it seriously. This song just eased my fear of death, one that i've been struggling with for a year and a half now. Thank you

Música pra vida toda, sempre vou amar 🎶❤

I remember being a kid and listening to this on loop on my crappy ipod shuffle lol. I didn't even know how powerful it was until I got older. I don't know when, but oneday Em is gonna be gone, and the world will finally truly recognize how many lives he changed and his impact as a whole. Sometimes it feels like people are only truly loved once they're gone..

This song always gives me tears because of my life, lyrics are so relating 😭

The older I get, the harder this song hits me. It truly is a lyrical masterpiece.

This gem just brings tears to your eyes he's legendary with the words the messages the energy everything is completely raw

Its songs like this that make you realizes why Em outsold all of his peers in the genre. He really is on another level.

This song 😮I have a daughter now while battling addiction and being a care giver for my mother. I have watched my father who is a good man suffer while people who do bad things live on. I never knew Eminem would hit me this hard

I lost my dad in 2013. This song still helps me to live almost 10 years later.

This song brings me to tears. A masterpiece, thank you Em.

A message to future generations don’t let this song die

Eminem songs make people cry, motivate, laugh, think. He's the full package

I used to listen to this song all the time when I was 16 and in high school and thought it was a good song..... now that im in my 30s I fully understand the lyrics and the meaning, i now shed a tear when I listen to this song.....

These songs are like scriptures we learn from forever

this is one of those songs that will always hit deep💔

13 years ago and still such a good, deep and lovely song to think about❤

I was expecting an ordinary eminem song, but this is a hit to the face. Respect to this man.

After my dad had died, this was the song i needed at the way back home from hospital... Thank you Eminem

i listen to metal 90% of the time but eminem was my childhood favourite and still i come back to his music sometimes. just hits different. i remember when this song came out i listened it likee 1000 times :P

He's the greatest of all time

..I was a teen when this came out .. now I’m a mom.. and this Gentleman reviewing would be my Dad age,if he still were alive.. &I know he would have the same respect for every single person that here’s this song. Em’s music tells real feelings, real stories, life struggles, love, pain, family, fun, sex .. everything.. he is undoubtedly in my eyes one of the best musicians alive.. so many lives he’s touched ❤ & even more now as an adult this song is heart.. right there is ur answer … cherish ur time with ur kids it’s as simple as that.

I used to listen to Eminem with my dad and he died when I was young but when I hear this song it reminds me of my dad singing along to it and makes me look at up and smile every time I hear the chorus ❤

Not just this song but Eminems songs just hit different doesn't matter how old it is.

I just lost my dad 2 days ago. This song speaks to me on a different level. Thank you Em ❤️

I remember the first time I came here, 13 years ago, still get goosebumps, still a masterpiece 👏👏

Eminem knows what the people feel and he's a genius and he knows it. Thank you Eminem for being there for us

This song brought real tears to my eyes🥺❤️

The older you get the more you can relate to lyrics. Absolute greatest of all time

This song makes me cry every time

No nude women, no cash, no cars. Just 100% dope rap. We had so better songs 10 years ago..

I get goosebumps literally every time I listen to it, regardless of how many times I've listened to it before

This song is a masterpiece, and I thought it was funny at the end of the swinging scene where he acted like they kicked him in the face 😅❤

Hearing it 13 years later really hits different sheesh

Wow, im so glad this song has so many views. Whatever you think of the guy, only the dead have no stake in this song, it means something to everyone for someone, and the dread of it to those who haven't. Really powerful 😢

A bíblia diz tudo posso naquele que me fortalece

This song is OLD but GOLD!

Still one of my favs and keeping me sober along with not afraid no matter what anyone says 😜😜😜

This song had been with me since my childhood days... I keep coming back here when i'm sad or frustrated.

This song was a letter to his daughter if some unfortunate happen to him at that time, so wrote it so that his daughter understand his life and the sacrifices when she is old enough to understand the lyrics
