Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue

[zerofurybones]

want this song to go on for about 30 mintues

[runthemachine]

... shortest 3 minute song I ever heard in my life.

[GodzillaThrillaKilla]

This song is hauntingly beautiful I find myself listening with my head down and my eyes closed envisioning a garden with black flower pedals falling down as a woman strolls through seemingly unnoticed toward a singular grave in the back and kneels. She silently lifts her head and glances at me with these hauntingly black eyes that turn blue as she tucks a strand of hair that has fallen in front of her face, back behind her ear, drops a single tear, smiles, then disappears. Can you see her?

[alastair77]

@GodzillaThrillaKilla 'wow.'

YES - i see a similar vision when i hear this track.. :'(

i SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO miss layne, but i AM glad jerry et al went through the painful, cathartic process of writing this song/album in his memory.

taken too soon.

rest in peace, brother layne.

<3

[Turkeymassacre666]

@GodzillaThrillaKilla damn, bro.

[yeahdudeitsreal]

Even though im only 26, i want this to be played at my funeral if its a thousand years from now.

[dalecampbl5]

@yeahdudeitsreal this is a great song...wish they would've dragged it out a little bit more though

[dillon123met]

@dalecampbl5 yeah, it feels like it should be right around the seven minute mark for me

[runthemachine]

@dalecampbl5 yeah.... that would cut down on my use of the Replay button.

[AMrCO2]

Quanto è bello sto pezzo ...

[Horoeusui]

holy shit, this one gives me the chills everytime i listen to it! very good!

[questscience1]

When the day is over, this beautiful music is there.

[TheJayTrain]

I plan to play this at my funeral. I can't think of a better song to play at your own funeral.

[axel4clover1]

@TheJayTrain the album dirt

[TheJayTrain]

@axel4clover1 Not at MY funeral, there are equally good songs for a funeral on it, but Rooster? I wasn't in Vietnam, or any other war for that matter, so that would be kinda weird. Fuck though, any Alice in Chains would make for some damned good funeral music.

[dalecampbl5]

@TheJayTrain AIC is for people who go down kicking and screaming

[TheJayTrain]

@dalecampbl5 Fuckin a'. Rehab is for quitters.

[TheGrungeFanYohan]

How can anyone dislike this song! To me this is the ultimate send off. Always gives me goosebumps. RIP Mr Staley.

[brokensaphire]

Here is truth: this song will be considered an anthem....one day, perhaps even by you....

[jizzle313]

Excellent

[ooomolochooo]

looooove

[mitteey]

fucking adds suck take it off

[MrDavidSjostrom]

someone mention this song can make a grown man cry, it just did always reminds me of the people who i love that aint close any more.

[12inchvertical]

Layne is smoking cigarettes in heaven, kicking back and listening with a smile.

[questscience1]

@12inchvertical

That is such a cool thought. It would be so nice if that is true : )

[rajkec11]

He managed to write words and music from the bottom of his heart, and you write that kind of song once in your life, once or never. We love you, Layne, and this one's for you, man.

[DieHardSportsFan92]

amazing song, awesome band!!!

[engradd]

consciously voiding changes by..inner self

[therantingsociety]

what a beautiful song. beautiful and sad.

[boskox]

RIP LAYNE

[blope332]

Sounds like a song about how Layne sort of gave up and kept falling deeper into addiction. Lots of pain in this one from what I can tell. I'll remember you. How could we forget him?

[giannaluva65]

@blope332 Yea, thats what i interperted from it. Also, I think the black refers to the depression Layne was going through, and eventually... that black faded to blue... If u know what i mean

R.I.P. Layne Staley

[MyGta123]

i like it when a song starts playing and it allready has my attention and keeps my attention through the whole entire song thats why Alice In Chains is my favourite band

[negative94creep]

Este tema junto a Lesson Learned y All Secrets Known los mejores del album lejos..

Larga vida al grunge.

[FvckTheFvckingSystem]

Makes me wanna cry..

[soulgonerogue9]

Wow.

[yackta]

that;;s a tribute for Layne?

[dgostling2601]

@yackta yes it is. At least if you read the lyrics, you can figure it out.

An excellent song with a deep meaning

[Unknown7532]

@yackta Yes, it is for him.

[333AndMan]

reminds me of Whale & Wasp

[scherrma]
