  • "When I'm Gone" was written in 2003 and released in 2005 by me and Shady Records, on the album "Curtain Call: The Hits". It was thought at the time that this album would mark the beginning of an extended musical hiatus for Eminem, who had said "I'm at a point in my life right now where I feel like I don't know where my career is going ... This is the reason that we called it 'Curtain Call', because this could be the final thing. We don't know." When you hear the curtain close at the end of the song, that could mean that he is retiring to get his life back into order. The song's lyrics pertain to Eminem's life as a celebrity musician interfering with his family. Eminem uses imagery to evoke a feeling of sadness about his family falling apart. He raps, "I take a bow and thank you all for coming out they're screaming so loud, I take one last look at the crowd I glance down, I don't believe what I'm seeing "Daddy it's me, help Mommy, her wrists are bleeding," 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 make Mommy sad". At the beginning of the song, he uses the saying of "giving an arm for someone", and repeats it as a literal meaning, referencing his tattoo of his daughter Hailie, in the line "Have you ever loved someone so much you would give an arm for, not the expression, no, literally give an arm for". In the music video after rapping the line, he touches his arm where his tattoo of Hailie is. This song is very special because what is described in it is the exact opposite of what is happening in reality. At the beginning of the second verse, Eminem says "I keep having this dream," and goes on to describe his daughter's oppositions to Eminem's traveling, his wife's suicide attempt, and the divorce between Kim Mathers and Eminem. Then, at the end of the third verse, Eminem "wakes up" and finds that everything is alright. However, right now, Eminem is stuck in this "dream" and is expressing his feelings on how much he wants to get out.[4] The music video for the song was directed by Anthony Mandler. Tarick Salmaci, from the TV show The Contender, makes an appearance in the video with his wife.
