Wolfgang Van Halen - Mammoth WVH: Distance (Official Music Video)
“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 Foundation

"Distance"
I’m so happy
You’ve found a place
That’s better for you
Than this rock we’re living on
I’m so nervous
Don’t know my place
A life without you
I’m not ready to move on
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
I’m so tired
Can’t see your face
My memory of you
Slowly fades when I go on
I’m still cryin’
Don’t want this place
A world without you
I don’t think I’ll ever move on
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
No matter what the distance is you’ll be okay
I’m so happy
You’ve found a place

Wow...amazing song, awesome video. That voicemail at the end... Wolfgang, your voice is so beautiful, rich and emotional. Such a great tribute to your pop, and your happy family memories. I have always been a fan of both of your parents. Their smiles have always seemed larger than life. Interesting that you played all of the instruments, as well as singing and mixing. Love it!
Sounds like Of Monsters and Men group
Very well done. Increadable tribute!
🎶♥️🎶 Beautiful song , beautiful memories.
Badass good job
Hey man this is only the start if this is what it's going to look like s*** this is only practice
Wolfgang beautiful tribute , young man stay strong and make your father proud, as you have , you sure have made me realize what a great dad he is , that makes me cry and smile in my ❤️
No matter what, you'll be ok
I'm just glad he found his own voice. Best of luck with your direction, where ever it goes.
You dad said you got to keep playing man.. And thats exactly what I will do!! Great message and song... He will always be a part of us all 💕
WHO IS SINGING?
I love this song it made me cry beautiful song
Awesome tune bro! RIP EVH...😔
Beautiful tribute. ❤️❤️
Absolutely gorgeous song about the man that made me pick up the guitar in the first place. Great job, Wolfgang, and you obviously have your dad's genes. LOVE the song, and it brings tears to my eyes.
Thanks mom for showing me this song
Such an incredible song, brought me to tears. I can imagine Eddie with a huge grin on his face after hearing this. Well done Wolfie.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
cool little country song.
Fidelium animae, per misericordiam Dei, requiescant in pace. Amen. Sorry for your loss, WVH. May God bless you and your family during this difficult time. RIP LEGEND.
Thank You Wolfgang...I Lost my Son (24yrs. old) in 2014. Every moment of every day I miss him. Your papa is very proud of you as I was of Josh! God Bless!
It’s good- it’s just a little dated already- sounds like 2005
Super awesome! Keep up the good work!
Mad love and respect. Been a VH fan since 1986, when I was a teenager. This is awesome, heartfelt thanks for sharing
Nice and sad. Funny though, no matter how rich you are, you still are locked into your time. Seeing those Video camera moments seems like such ancient times.
Why close to 1000 thumbs down? It was inspiring and show the love of a father and mother to their son.
Tears. I’m a dad too. 💔
ABSOUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! Brought tears to my eyes! Beautiful job, just like your Pop! He will be forever missed!!!!
EVH big fan here. This video makes me want to cry. You are not as good as your father especially at guitar but you've gotten your own colour as a different Van Halen with another world. Keep on the good work.!
This will be an awesome Father's Day video! Thanks Wolfgang for creating this memorial of your dad. I along with other fans remember him and his musical accomplishments and are still sad of losing him.
The voicemail was absolutely organic and gut wrenching at the same time. Rip eddie. You defined my adolescents
GD this song is fucking great😇
Perfect ❤️ Success and greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
Cool Novelty Song. A letter to Dad. Who could dislike it. I think this could be the American Idol Theme Song. It has that vibe.
Wolfie needs to eat better and exercise. He could be headed for heart problems and diabetes. Also increased risk for some cancers. Much encouragement to him.
I miss my dad every day. Kinda hits me in the feels.

I could hear Eddie doing the solo!
Beautiful 💕 RIP EVH 😢
Song tears me up..😥
Seems like he really was a good caring father.
Never knew after listening to this song that I would lose my own dad less than a month later. I miss you Dad!
I'm sorry you lost your Dad...🙏
I certainly hope that this song makes you find the HOPE that you NEED my young brother! YES of course back in the day on the first few tours I saw all of them and have been a favorite of your father's for years now! Even though I've been playing guitar for 44 years & we don't sound anything alike but I've always loved his perfect interpretation of what it was that HE felt! "There's only 12 notes! Now let's see what you can do with them...!" It took me a little bit to wipe all the streaming tears coming from my Eyes to write this - but I hope you can move on a in a POSITIVE way and your voice is TREMENDOUS as the music is and your Pop would be very proud of you right now... BLESSINGS PRAISES AND LOVE FOR YOU MY YOUNG BROTHER!! KEEP ROCKIN MAN 🙏🏻💖☮️🛐🛐💯
Great video, great sentiment, ok song ...
This shit sucks
wow - THAT was cool
His dad is very proud!!😂💯
😭😭😭😭😭
this is powerful shit dude. like seriously i lost my pop a short time ago and this shit hit me HARD! i have no doubts your pop would be proud as fuck of you for this piece of amazing work. seriously i didn't know i needed to weep today but thank you i needed that. much love and just wow.
Lovely ❤ Xo
I cannot wait to hear more from WVH. He seems like he is carrying his father's legacy, but in his own way. WVH almost makes losing Eddie bearable.
❤
Wow, that is SO great!
💖If you haven't heard..."YOUR TO BLAME" listen to it ...you'll THANK ME....it's a total JAM... 🐺 WOLF 🐺 is a musical prodigy 🎼🥁🎸🎤🎹🎼..I mean he wrote the music and plays every INSTRUMENT 👊....WVH... MAMMOTH...💖🙌 ROCKS 🙌💖...can't wait to hear the rest and see them in CONCERT 💖
wow...i really felt this one...He will be missed
Saw an article on yahoo about this song so I looked it up here at the end of the work day......looks like I'm going home crying. I know you've been hurting...hopefully time will ease that....from all the videos and pic's of you and your dad together, recognize the joy that you brought to his life....my children have been my biggest accomplishment....sure Ed would have said the same thing. Take care!
This is so good and his voice is outstanding.....
Love from Sweden 🤍
MORE, MORE, MORE!!!
🤘🏻
Wolfgang, you made a very good song and gave us all an insight into you and your Dad's interactions. I think that I cried for 5 minutes straight. I also remember watching "One Day at a Time" in the late 70's and seeing your mother with your father's poster on the wall during an episode. I still listen to my favorite band of all-time (VH if you were wondering), every f'ing day. I'm glad that Gene Simmons didn't convince your father to call it "Daddy Longlegs"....the band wouldn't have had the legs that they did. I listened to your appearance on Bill Burr's podcast and I had to comment here. I know that your Father (was) and your Mother are so proud of you, but I want you to know that I am as well. Many Van Halen fans are so very proud of you. Please know that. Don't listen to the Haters. You had an impossible job in their eyes - to take over for Michael Anthony on bass for the greatest rock band of all time. YOU ARE A MUSICIAN. You have a good voice and know how to play a few instruments by now. You do them very well and will keep improving as time goes on. Keep on Rockin' and make the Van Halen name as good as it can be. I believe in YOU. -Frank
Tell me you didn’t tear up to this song
Wolf,thank you for the invite into your relationship with your dad and the home videos of your family. As a father of two young boys I can relate to the love your dad has for his son.... you made him proud! Your music resonates loudly with me man and I haven’t felt this way about rock since the mid 90’s! Thanks WVH!!!👍🏻
thanks Wolf... R.I.P. "King Edward Van Halen".....
Wonderful fathers...such a blessing while we have them...and yes we will always be with them. 💙 Nice job Wolfie!
First of all I want to say my condolences for your loss. While Eddie did not inspire me directly, he did inspire a lot of the guitarists and musicians I look up to and he's definitely changed the guitar forever. It's the first song of your own music I've heard, but I already had the impression that your music would be solid as fuck. My first ever live show was Tremonti in 013 in '13 and I look forward to hearing the rest of the album, which I will order asap. Cheers mate and hopefully you'll find some peace in the loss, through music
Amazing, Beautiful, and Powerful. Unfortunately most all of us have been where your at Wolf. Time will never heal the pain, but it will get easier to get up everyday without that gut wrenching loss. I wish you all the happiness you can achieve. Great job! Looking forward to more. ❤️
Beautiful THANKYOU Rest. In. Paradise ElvH 🤘🏼😷✌🏼🎸
Unreal how touching this is.
God bless you, it's under a year since Eddie's death. Must be difficult to live under a legend but it seems like Eddie still put you first which shows you and us how much he loved you. I just miss him since I grew up with Van Halen and had such a crush on Eddie. I will never be able to thank him, so I thank you Wolfgang for sharing your father with us.
This is an emotional song for me and brings tears to my eyes. I lost my little sister and this songs says sooo much! Love ya Wolfe!! Thank you!!!!
i have never delt with a loss like this but this song brings tears to my eyes every single time
Bonita canción, recordando siempre a uno de los más grandes guitarristas de rock.
My dad passed away in novemeber this song makes me super sad
I'm blown away by Wolfgang's talent no baby we don't want you to sound like Van Halen you're good we like you just the way you are your bad ass
Who knew that Eddie's guitar playing wasnt even the best thing about him ? Wolfie did. What a man. Loves from another orphan of a hero dad. x
This shit had me welling up. .. damn dude this is beautiful man....your father was an amazing spirit that will never EVER BE FORGOTTEN eddie slash and jimmy page and joe perry showed me GODS at the guitar my he rest in peace
When everyone in L.A. was doing drugs around me in the 80S. I found away out by taking guitar lessons. I saw VH and Eddie live. Changed my life. I was blown away. IT SAVED MY LIFE.! I saw VH. DOZENS of times. I MET THE BAND. SUPER COOL. GREAT SONG FROM THE SON OF A GREAT GUY. THANKS EDDIE AND THANKS WOLFIE..😎
Beautiful tribute to your Dad. Awesome! Great song Wolf. #gonetosoon #ripevh
Oh yeah, the tears are flowing like water. Beautiful song as well as beautiful tribute to the greatest guitarists ever. I’m terribly sorry for your loss, Wolfgang. I know he’ll always be in your thoughts as well as your heart. My deepest condolences to you, your mom and uncle Alex.

I'm thirteen and I just learned the opening riff to "Ain´t Talkin Bout Love" in memory of EVH. You are doing a great job WVH! The song is awesome!
Nice to hear that a new generation is taking up the fight :-)
Wolfgang , beautiful song .. you are super talented .. Thank you , and looking forward for more of your music ...
A rockstar just like his dad!
Beuitiful video and music, song. Respect Wolfi V. H. 🙏🎸🖤Thanks
Teared up 4 times watching this. Such talent. My only talent is talking to a sock puppet (wife).
You're an absolutely an amazing son, Wolfie... I lost my dad when I was 19 and my mom when I was about 31... Powerful bro. You keep on doing what you're doing! I've been telling my friends about your upcoming album. I think your dad was a top notch person... (and so is your mom!). I just showed this video to my 11 year old daughter... She cried and hugged me... couldn't stop... I'll be 56, March 11th... GOD bless you and your mommy... You're the best, bro. Hang in there!
"I'm just so happy to have you as my son and... so proud of you. I love you so much." This voicemail knocks me over every time I hear it. What a precious gift (I'm sure one of many) to give to his son.
Fuckin' A... Saw Van Halen at the DAY on the GREEN at the Oakland Coliseum in 1977. THAT was the gig that sent them into the stratosphere overnight. It's awesome to see yer a Chop of the 'ol Block! #TheWorldNeedsToHearYou #SingChildSing
873 losers hate this song no taste no talent no lives why do people hate talent Wolfgang you're so talented I'm Happy to see you learnt something from dear old dad
Wicked song your dad was one of the greatest EVER Cool to see you learnt from him my dad wasn't there for me cool to see how gifted you are I know you have your own band but I bet you could front van Halen with the remaining musicians fuck everybody up and do one show on Jimmie Kimmel live with David Mike and your uncle with you on guitar that would be a dream to see do "jump" and "hear about it later my favorite vh song
What a beautiful tribute!
