Wolfgang Van Halen - Mammoth WVH - Distance (OFFICIAL 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

If this doesn't make you cry, you're not human ❤️
Fantastic!! A tribute to be proud of!! Well done!!
Wolfgang has a really good voice and his own style. The song and video almost made me cry
Fabulous young fella, he's riding the wave right there with you... forever. Remember you've got it all.
I was cutting onions to this great song it has a classic rock sound.
Wonderful tribute from a son to his Dad. Wolfgang is a talented musician.
That was beautiful Wolfgang. What a legacy your dad gave you in music and LOVE!! Thank you for sharing your talent and the wonderful relationship between you and your dad
516 dislikes??? Douchebags!
We are all crying. Hugs Wolfie
This video is heart breaking. I'll do everything to make my son remember me the way WVH remembered his dad.
Wow...Well done. Well done.
A lot of strange people in this world giving this a thumbs down. People think they are cool putting everything down, really kind of stupid. Be respectful and grateful Wolf put this out there. :)
😥
Wow brought me to tears. Well written. Obviously came from the heart. He will be missed by all.
Beautiful 😢
What a loving tribute to your dad. It's so obvious how proud of you he was and how much he loved you. Keep that in your heart, Wolf.
Emocionante
Folks please realize that when you click on the thumbs down to see who didn't like it ..it counts you as a thumbs down
What a loving father son relationship! That’s what it’s all about!! R.I.P. EVH! Wolfgang! You’re a lucky man!!! Cool Dad, beautiful Mom, equals an awesome YOU!!!!! Stretch those strings, make those screams!! 🤘😎🎸
amworlds.info/town/XpzKhInMmJuop6I/video.html May Wolfgangs memories of his dad remain Forever Young! Truly touching video and sensational song!👍💝
OMG what a beautiful song, beautiful tribute to a father and sons love. I heard it on the radio today and cried. Came home and looked for the video and REALLY cried. I heard VH first in the San Fernando Valley in like 1977-78. They called themselves Mammoth then. They played the L.A rock scene a little. Wolgang obviously inherited his dads talent. Going to go listen again and cry. Thank you WVH
🇧🇷 🛐 💪
WOW! Your Dad, I believe, has yet another reason to be proud of you.
Oh man I love this song and was doing perfectly fine with it until I heard the voice mail at the end. It brought me straight to tears right away such a good song.
Through tears I think of my own father passing. Thank you for sharing. The music is amazing. He is so proud of you!!!
Rest in Peace Rockstar ...
Unbelievably good. Been so melancholy about this loss. VH was my first concert-the absolute best show to date. I've been to many a concert and nothing compares to that memory of VH at the top of their game. I still cannot believe how great the background vocals are. We're all just speeding down life's hay, looking for the next "best thing" and forgetting what amazing treasures we've left behind. We just never got enough of this band. And now it's too late.
A very powerful songs and video. Thank you 💜 - Herman Li

Ya'll need to stop focusing on the dislikes. Sure, they're absolute scum, but what are you gonna do about it? Fuck all of them, that's it. Focus instead on the 68k+ likes that this has gotten. Focus on how beautiful that this song is. Focus on how it's gotten attention from DragonForce, Alan Walker, and Jared Dines, and only positive at that. This is the perfect send away for EVH. Rest in power, Eddie.
What kind of idiot would dislike this ?
Came here after listening to your amazing heartfelt Howard Stern interview. Absolutely your own talent, I am a new fan for life, Play Boy!! Your mom and dad did an incredible job raising you, loved them both and I send you and your mom and family my condolences ❤️
This did not make me cry. It made me sob.
What Eddie said in the end, i couldn't understand all?
fantastic, song....got me choked up for sure... as a father as well as I'm sorry for your loss.
Such a powerful and amazing tribute to your dad Wolfie. From the first second to right now while typing this, my eyes haven't been dry. Thank you for this beautiful music❤❤
I lost my father November 17, 2019. This song beyond hits home. Such a piece of art and many, including your dad, are so proud of you. Thank you for sharing this at such a perfect time and I cannot wait for more. I needed it. ❤️
A boy missing his dad. 😔
This is a beautiful song 🎵 😍 no wonder its number #1
I’m not crying you’re crying. Beautiful tribute
exceptional young man.... killer song
This touches my soul... The love between father and son.. Wolf surely will make it by the love they shared and always will share.. always..
Really great stuff Wolfgang V.H. ! Thanks a lot for sharing such personal stuff with this wonderful song. Your dad is a legend and gonna be missed so much. Carry on doing good music ! Can't wait to hear what you are preparing for us. Rock on!
Beautiful. He'll be missed.
Nailed my heart, I'm greatful for the memories of the road and possitve time's. There no holidays happening here. Your missed, your sensitivity kindness I could go on. Also you never crossed Ed. Your son did a wonderful job. Crushed..... but you made sure you lasted another 20 year's.
Jesus the end hearing the voice message just destroyed me. Amazing relationship. This is what family should look like.
😢😭😭😭😭😭🙏👏❤❤❤
just sat here and cried. that was so good. thank you
Bad... really bad. Sounds bad till the start to the end. Rip Eddie, we miss you!
Beautiful!
That adorable little child became a morbidly obese man. Lose the weight dude !!!! please.....for your own good. I see a talented musician who needs to work on his body. It matters.
Fantastic video of a man and his baby. Priceless.
Ed was correct when he said Wolf was very talented!😱👍Peace to you Wolf!✌💗
Wow! Such talent. His Dad is looking down on him with a big smile!
Powerful! Both emotionally as well as musically. Thanks for sharing WVH!
I have a few voicemails from my best friend who died suddenly in 2015. Best friends for over 30 years. Sometimes I want to listen to it and I have to prepare myself, other times it calms me. I'm still so lost without my friend. 💙
This song really SUCKS!! Rip Eddie, but your son sucks singing. Sounds like a pop song between 5sos and bullet for my valentine
Yes - you will be ok --- ❤️
Amazing tribute.....Beautiful song..... The ending moved me to tears.
So beautiful ❤️
Fantastic.
Wow almost 3 million views now Just WOW!. Still lov'n this song!
While millions mourn the musical genius that was Eddie Van Halen, this poor kid is just missing his father. :(
It's easy to forget when a rock legend like EVH dies that he is a father. That is his #1 role and probably the most important role of his life. This song and video tribute helps reminds us our heroes are human and are so much bigger in some peoples lives than our own. Thank you to WVH for sharing these glimpses into your personal life and allowing us to remember our hero was a man, but more importantly a father to you.
Solid. Thanks for sharing this with us Wolf
Fantastic song! But the video kills me. I was always able to perceive Eddie’s love and pride for his son being a very “lovey” dad myself. Eddie’s love and pride for Wolf would just jump off the medium at me, be it photo or video or even audio. It would hit my heart, and I could see the depth of his love. I guess dads who deeply love their children can see that love in other fathers. That deep fatherly love also seems to come from those of us who never had that deep paternal love growing up, and you knew your heart needed unbeguiled, encouraging, and accepting love from a father or father figure. Now, back to the song... What fantastic musicianship on display, I think his vocal talent may be what shines the brightest. I saw Wolf twice with VH, and his bass playing was quite good. As a drummer, I can appreciate a solid bass player with chops. It seems to me that the best bass players are also drummers or can drum. But a drummer and guitar player on bass is an extraordinary thing-- impeccable timing, rhythmic sensibilities, and melodic comprehension. So, it is a toss-up for me since Wolf’s bass playing is extremely good, in my estimation. Wolf, if you need a drummer, I'm here for you. But, I'm also a Christian minister (like your Uncle Alex), an adjunct university professor, and an author and speaker, so I'll need to adjust my schedule a bit- LOL. On that note, your dad and the rest of VH were always on my prayer list. And you can be sure, in Christ, you will also see your dad again. Nothing is ever truly lost when our loved ones have placed their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Right now it’s from a distance, but in a little while, it will be face-to-face, and face-to-face forever. Anyway, even if Wolf was not Wolfgang Van Halen, this song would still be great and could stand on its own. Wolf is truly his own man musically, which was true of each generation of van Halens’ -- Jan, Eddie and Alex, and now WVH.
Wolfie, I just want to tell you, I know & understand your pain. As a musician, as you well know, we pour our hearts out into our music, thank you for this song. I lost my Dad in "04 to cancer, but more recently, I lost my wife of 25 years in May of '19, I had no clue how I would survive without her, as well as how would I survive without my Dad & Mom, I lost Mom in '16. Like you said in your interview with Mr Stern, the pain will ALWAYS be there BUT we just figure out how to carry it better as time goes on. That pain & grief will always be there to some degree, but I pray for you, as well as for myself, that over time, when I think of my Dad, Mom & Denise, that the first thing that comes to my mind, is how they lived their lives & not how they left the planet. Stay strong young man, know there are a lot of people praying for you, your Mom, your Uncle, and Step Mom. May the Lord bless you with grace, mercy & understanding. One Love, RedBeard
Dude your name is Van Halen.... play like you know your Dad loves and is proud . People be dumb about things and group together.
Wow that was so beautiful and the song as well. Very moving, thank you Wolf and God bless you and your family. Love ya too Eddie, thanks for giving us so much music and guitar notes. Jimi
Solid expression Wolfgang’s writing. I’m sure it was cathartic for him to write this song. I can relate to the grieving per the loss of my wife 2 years ago. Keep going Wolfgang. I’d like to hear more from a humble heart as yours.
Good stuff Wolf. Take solace that you don't suffer alone in your Dads passing. Our hearts will ache for years.
This is what the word "bittersweet" means.
As we all come and go in this world, music never dies, nor shall the relationships we helped create- our memories live on!
So sweet and so sad at the same time! Beautiful song!!!
Yes it must be terrable the loss, I understand, I respect what you did, sure he does. Take care WolfE...
Thank you Wolfgang
Unbelievable!!! We love you Wolfgang for putting this out. We love your Dad Eddie always ❤️❤️❤️
thx for being generous enough to share your family moments & all your wonderful home-made videos.
Peace be with You✌ Both my parents past recently- Holidays are rough! Remembering the Good Times & knowing we meet again- will help you carry on! So many people really Love your Dad (me also) no one but your Family truly understands your void! Your Love & Memories will Last Forever❤
Goosebumps. We love you, Eddie! And now Wolfie. God Bless you all.
Thank You for SHARING !!!! And you can suck it you scumbags who gave it a thumbs down .
It's a great tribute to his loving father. Well done wolf
I really don't know how anybody will put a thumb down to this song.

Anyone else start singing, "I'll do whatever it takes" by Life house when first hearing this? I'm impressed!
When is YTB being released?
Beautiful!! Of course you made all the Van Halen lovers, cry...........RIP to one of the most amazing guitar players!!
WVH, all I can say is thank you so very much for the extremely special gift that is this song and this video. Your astounding musical talent and the remarkable way that you carry yourself is only eclipsed by the love that you and your dad shared, and you both have made the world that much more special because of it.
This Rocks.
