An Original Song For His Mom Called ‘Gone’…Watch it in the First Comment!

There was a stunned silence in the room as the final note hung in the air. It seemed as though time had stopped for a second. The judges’ faces lit up with admiration as they burst into applause. Ethan received a standing ovation from the audience.

The first to speak was Judge Katy Perry. That was remarkable, Ethan. You created something lovely out of something so painful and intimate. That was unlike anything I’ve ever heard on this stage, I believe.

Luke Bryan added, “You’ve got something really special,” wiping away a tear. A heart to go with it, not just a voice. That performance and that song will never be forgotten.

Lionel Richie gave a contemplative nod. You’ve done something extremely uncommon tonight. A part of your soul has been shared with us. And that is the essence of great music.

Overwhelmed by the encouragement, Ethan thanked the judges while fighting back tears. I wrote this song for my mother. I simply wanted to ensure that she would always be remembered. I appreciate you allowing me to share it with everyone.

Ethan felt a surge of pride as the applause went on. He felt more connected to his mother than ever in that moment, knowing she would be watching. The fact that he had honored her with his music was a victory in and of itself, and it meant more to him than the judges’ admiration.

Fans nationwide shared the song and shared their personal tales of loss and recovery after the performance of “Gone” went viral. Even though Ethan was just starting out on American Idol, he had already left a lasting impression, demonstrating that sometimes the most moving performances originate from the most intimate parts of a person’s heart.
