Staind - Its Been A While(acoustic)

[robnoon1]

but i did read ages ago in a rock mag,(cant remember which one, kerrang maybe) that aaron likes a smoke on a reefer :) but nothing more, and many ciggerettes, so they may be the addiction??

[axxellrezz]

Ya know, this song reminds me of my mindset about life. Yeah, we fuck up, we blame other people for shit, but in the end it's all our own faults and once we realize that, we wish for the days when we didn't understand that.

[cheverise]

Haunting.



[knuttonn]

@cheverise very



[atchley9]

Very true.

[ThatGuyTy91]

Love this version so much better. <3 -Ty

[MsRapier22]

@atchley9. What is beautiful about music is that it can mean different things to different people. I understand why some artists don't always share the meanings of their songs. The same song can have more than meaning even to one person.

[TheDivineYoshi]

This song explains everything in my life. how much i've ruined, how much i've been brokened down to a sad pathetic man.

[atchley9]

I wish people would understaing the meaning to this song. It's not about his ex, or significant other, listen to the lyrics. The way the candles light your face...just the way you taste...its about heroin. Read between the lines, things aren't often what they seem.

[lmichaelsaid1]

@atchley9 Not every fucking staind song is about fucking heroin or drugs.

[ValhallasHeroes]

@atchley9 lolololol. evidently not about heroin, learn to listen to the lines instead of trying to read between them in a "it has to be drugs" mindset. this is a beautiful melody, full of regret, sorrow, longing, and yet hope. with beautiful lyrics like these, and such strong emotion, there are easly hundreds of meanings, emotions, and thoughts that come from it. sometimes all at once.

[kingrentertainment]

to all men out there...if you got a girl that is mad at you...just pick up a guitar...learn this song...and give her chills...

[jgv1651]

mate you've reached a 100,000....its better than my 'making love' video... have fun ..... ; 0 )

[GregForsyth96]

like a boss. :L



[S7A1ND]

this is (and im not just saying this cause they're my favorite band) the best song ever written.

[MrJamo112]

play this at my end...........

[hello90you]

so being this was an acoustic version i was expecting something like the vocals bein way loud or somethin to make it sound like shit but way to go staind you proved me wrong and made me feel like an ass for underestimating you! :D

[lonewolf81252]

AWESOME SONG AND FITS MY LIFE SOOOO MUCH

[KeylonCullen]

Oh, I searched for AGES for this vid! This is the best version of it, totally :D

[PatongTed]

@KeylonCullen You need to check out the MTV unplugged Staind session uploaded all over YouTube. The "Its Been Awhile" acoustic version on that vid is better than this by far. IMHO

[KeylonCullen]

On, I searched for AGES for this vid! This is the best version of it, totally :D

[alluring43]

I just downloaded this mp3 at audiogetnow..com

[TheBoxOfBeats]

@alwayselement yea get the actual video, as that would be much better :) still a nice song, thanks for upload

[Mr7893]

[hwhitsitt]

this song is amazing prob. one of the best songs by them, its so moving hearing the lyrics from him and how strong he is to remember things of his childhood  and life yet alone sing about it for the world to hear awesome song.

[scrubs9999]

i went to go see them last year and he played this unplugged and with no mic, it was great

[advocatebeatz]

Fukin amazing song from an amazing band. I know they love their fans and I love them. snowcat.

[CFHHATEPH34R]

You know, I listen to some pretty hardcore shit but I've recently had an urge to listen to some of the more alternative bands that I rember from when I was littler. this was one of my favorite songs from my childhood, right up there with Cowboys From Hell and most Nirvana songs. I realize this may not be heavy or Grunge, I love this song however.
