This song makes me cry everytime I listen to it. It just shreds my heart to pieces. Layne was so lost, just can't understand why someone couldn't have helped him. The world lost a great musician. R.I.P. Layne we miss you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Having been a victim of sexual abuse and opiate addiction I can totally relate to this song. Seems like male rape is not talked about very much openly and it is a shame. Clean for 5 months and now I am uncomfortable with myself and my body. It would be nice to find some solace but I have my higher power on my side to help me through everything although at times I feel like giving up.
A sad loss of great talent. im in a battle with opiates myself, its nice to hear someone sing about the downside of getting high instead of some shit about how great it is. GREAT SONG
@FatRedneckTerrorist Are you really on an AIC song saying Def Leppard is the best band or am I misunderstanding and why would you do that? First of all, Def Leppard sucks. Second of all, they''re not in AIC's league. Not even close. Def Leppard is pop bullshit trash. They're not even good for their genre. AIC is the best band. Def Leppard isn't even in the conversation.
such a deep song that corresponded with layne stanelys lifestyle and his drig addiction. God rest his soul but i truely believe this song is a gateway to his lifestyle and let those who our experimenting with drugs take note.
@TheDieselCrew369 people chalk too much up to drug addiction. it[s not all about drugs. it's about being an artist, an individual. really doesn't have much to do with drugs.
@danteras23 just seemed when he said my gift of self is raped, my privacy is raked" i linked that to his drug addiction gone public also "i fight this battle all alone."
@TheDieselCrew369 it's part of it, but that's not all he was. any addict is a lot more than their addiction. he had his reasons just like most addicts do. it's a symptom, not the cause. been through it. people like to make that all your about. it's a lot more than that.
@danteras23 i understand that. i never said thats what he was all about. all i said was he talked about it in this song. also that its a deep song and a great song
The body of a friend from highschool was found today.... I dedicate this comment to him and all those that have been taken from us along with those that mourn their losses.
Alice in Chains, Disturbed, Metallica, Ozzy, and Red Hot Chilli Peppers make me wonder WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?? People who cant sing, so they autotune their voices, are more popular than those bands. When REALLY, the bands are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000's BETTER than those FAKE POP SINGERS!
One of the greatest toned-down songs i've ever heard. I'm 24 and just now discovering this. Wish I had found it a lot sooner...Thanks for the upload!!
I got to meet Layne, one of his 'BAD HAIR DAYz'...(tried not to like AnC )... SkeetZ found me in my hotel... took me to meet Layne @ da CLUB! VERY UNCOMFORTABLE 4 about 20 min... WE LEFT... IT WAS ON!!! RIP...my snizzle!
@derek96720 HOW IS THAT??? it's a SLOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW, SINKING FEELING; the WHOLE SONG! @the end, I HAVE TO REMIND MYSELF, what IS IMPORTANT , in MY life!!! still, one of my FAVORITES!!!! WHY??? human nature? to many DRUGz?- time of DAY? MOON...may B.... makes me feel SMALL...like a BEAoUTCH!!!!! w / respect to beaOutchez!!! DAMN! it's over!!!
I remember hearing this song at the beginning of one of the shield episodes. Vic Mackey is riding in his SUV listening to this song until a bunch of punks pull up beside him playing that rap shit. It fucking sucks.
love this song, it reminds me of my boyfriend who is in prison :( he use to play it on his guitar and sing it to me, makes me sad to listen to it bc of him
this song is the best ever written ever sung so haunting still gives me the chills every time i hear it!!!!!!! LAYNE hope ur rockin in heaven like u rocked us while u were here!!!!!!
The one dislike is probably from the misspelled word(s) because I can't imagine anyone not liking this song, no matter how "hardcore" they like their music, this will always strike the heart.
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
