Layne, I wish you were still around and I wish I could have known you, in a close setting...i'm so tired of feeling this way, maybe we could have helped each other. My condolences go out to your friends and family. I can only hope you are in heaven singing with the angels...and if you are there, can you please send an angel down to me, i'm having a real hard time in life right now.
I think that the true to apreciate this song is to apply it to the loss of a loved one or sing it urself... Respects to Layne, Mike Starr (R,I,P), Jerry, Mike and Sean =)
I'd like to dedicate this song to all Layne's & AIC friends, family, near people, to all who lost any member... I'm sorry for the terrible losts of musicians way back in the nineteen.
To all the Seattle citizens. Be proud of your city, be proud of your talent and your scene bands. t'll never happen again.
From a brother in any place in the other side of the planet.
this song aside from being totally bitchen always reminded me of "patience" by guns and roses slow and peacefull untill the whole beat changes and the lead singer just starts vocally rippin
To those of us who have lived through the pain Layne was filled with, this music is much more than any sound, than any words. This is a reminder of the antiquities of our youth, the innocence, the freedom. The lack of destructive ambition and self sewn pain. Thank you Layne. Without your ghost being here with me, there would likely be no me. Rest in Peace Dear Friend.
The burliest tune ever written. Layne evokes the totured soul of a Junkie too far down the well worn path to return. Say Good Bye don't follow. We lost one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time. IMO.
@mylespaul777 They sing in duet during the endings of the 2 verses, the most touching parts of the song next to Layne's super emotional verse. Whoever in their cruel mind would ignore the beginning of this song just to hear Layne's part should not be an Alice in Chains fan, Jerry and Layne together are some of the greatest vocal parts I've ever heard in a band.
@bbeboutuaa Unplugged should be in the #1 spot. It was the most amazing performance. Less than a handful of bands can pull off a live performance like they did and it showed their TRUE, UNDENIABLE TALENT. It was nothing less than perfection, vocals and music. I wasn't fortunate enough to be there, but just watching it, you could feel the emotion behind the performance from both the band and the audience. Someone said it perfectly: "It was sadly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard".
Woooow, damn, what a way to end this video, last image is just flawless, not to mention the whole sadness this song provides, nice work, trully nice work!!!!
