Jerry deserves to be recognize as a warrior soul, his friend (amazing Layne) died and he stills creating music, healing all the wounds with music ande also making soooo many people happy...like me :)
seeing Layne at 3:28 makes me sad. I still remember the moment I found out he died. The good, I mean the best, die young. It seams the one's with internal struggles and drug addiction are the most creative. Music is their outlet. RIP Layne Stayley.
@apage251 Thats so true man, music is what these people live for, and when they get persecuted for it, for being too loud, for not being 'normal', it messes with your head
Jerry and all of the surviving members of AIC are aging beautifully (Mike S. is battling drug addiction, but I hope he beats it...it's taken a toll on his appearance). They all look a hell of a lot better than the members of Metallica, who are only a couple years older.
@nutshellinchains true, im a big metallica fan, i saw aic a few months ago right up against the stage, jerry has only recently started to age a little.
The slow breakdowns in this song are fuckin awesome. Jerry is the f'uckin man when it comes to throwin down an "odd time signature". If a song starts out slow, you know obviously its going to rip. But if a song starts out heavy, you know Jerry will throw badass slow parts in to throw your mood off the map. Jerry is so dope, his solo stuff is highly underrated. Jerry Cantrell ftw!!!
This is a song that has everything I love in a song put into one
Yelling voice, epic back-up vocals, harmonizing vocals, multiple verses going off at once, distorsion... panned guitars, fast parts that just drop into epic slow parts... solo that is not over doing it but fits perfectly.
u know.. i dont like the vrs or pre chorus of this song at all.. never did.. but i listen through the whole thing because of how much i love the chorus.. it's so melodic and beautiful when he sings "he keeps the light on, prepared for war"
3 people are afraid of the dark.

now jerry's vocals here are pretty strong, at times he sounds consistent than layne, though layne was capable screaming like a fucking bomb.

To me, the song is about staying in a marriage that clearly isn't working, and not entirely by choice.
