Released by: Universal Music Indonesia
Here comes the second single from Phillip Phillips' debut album, "The World From The Side Of The Moon". Adalah sebuah lagu yang enggak kalah asyik untuk ber-sing along, 'Gone Gone Gone'. Meskipun lagu ini tergolong asyik, tapi ternyata ia menyimpan kepedihan dalam cerita yang dikisahkan di dalamnya. Ini adalah sebuah lagu anti move on, tak sudi menghentikan cinta meskipun sudah berpisah. "I love you long after you gone" teriaknya. Meyakinkan diri sendiri bahwa keteguhan serupa mungkin bisa membuat sebuah akhir yang bahagia kelak.
Gitar, drum, dan vokal latar yang ramai masih menjadi senjata bagi Phil dalam menghadirkan single ini. Seperti 'Home' dulu dong. Struktur lagu bergerak dalam arahan slow ke intens juga masih menjadi sajian musiknya. The folk of Mumford & Sons still reminisce, while the choir back-up vocals drag the track to a state of fun.. Permainan vokal Phil yang terdengar agak memberat di bagian verse membuat ia semakin erat dari segi vokal pada sosok Dave Matthews. So, kesimpulannya 'Gone Gone Gone' adalah produk penuh kilasan kualitas dalam popularitas Mumford & Sons, fun., dan Dave Matthews Band, dan itu adalah sebuah nilai yang berdaya saing.
I never consider Phillip Phillips as a radio hit maker, khususnya di Indonesia, khususnya lagi di saat sekarang. Tapi dengan kesimpulan di atas, paling tidak lagu ini masuk dalam pertimbangan. Orang cenderung memilih lagu yang enak didengar alias ear catchy, maka lagu ini punya potensi demikian. Penerimaan tersebut diharap mampu memberikan hit lanjutan kepada Phil, setelah 'Home' yang sepertinya sudah dimasukkan ke dalam daftar lagu wajib nasional Amerika Serikat.

LYRIC
When life leaves you high and dry
I'll be at your door tonight
If you need help, if you need help
I'll shut down the city lights,
I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe
To make you well, to make you well
When enemies are at your door
I'll carry you away from war
If you need help, if you need help
Your hope dangling by a string
I'll share in your suffering
To make you well, to make you well
Give me reasons to believe
That you would do the same for me
And I would do it for you, for you
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
When you fall like a statue
I'm gon' be there to catch you
Put you on your feet, you on your feet
And if your well is empty
Not a thing will prevent me
Tell me what you need, what do you need
I surrender honestly
You've always done the same for me
So I would do it for you, for you.
Baby, I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone gone gone.
You're my back bone,
You're my cornerstone
You're my crutch when my legs stop moving
You're my head start,
You're my rugged heart
You're the pulse that I've always needed
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating
For you, for you
Baby I'm not moving on
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
Baby I'm not moving on,
I love you long after you're gone.
For you, for you.
You would never sleep alone.
I love you long, long after you're gone.
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum, baby, don't stop beating
Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you
And long after you're gone, gone, gone.
I love you long after you're gone gone, gone
