Should have been dead 4 years ago from a aneurysm by my heart that tore " DISSECTED" My main artery up my neck and down both legs. Was told I wasn't gonna wake up from emergency open heart but unfortunately I survived at 45 now left with a Mechanical heart valve and had a stroke. Never been the same since and never will be. I'd feel better dead!!!!
The craziest thing about this album is that it would lack its punch without Layne in the state he was. Their crowning achievement i feel, the despair is there because its real….
Like listening to a man singing at his own funeral. I hear the repeating in my head layne and if I can't be my own is feel better dead too.
I still can't believe noone couldn't help the guy. I'm so pissed
All the heroin junkies in the comments paying respect lul
R.I.P. Layne
THE BIGGEST TALENT !!!
Cantrell is one of the greatest songwriters ever

poor Layne… look how they massacred my boy
By far, the most common reason I've been given as to why people don't like AiC, "their music is too depressing". AiC made me realize how many people don't like hearing the truth when it's inconvenient. Thanks for being brutally honest about the human condition when so many others can't even stomach acknowledging it.
Everyone just listen to that voice and just imagine it now.
This song is so beautiful his voice just gets to me gives me the chills
It's still absolutely insane to me how he sits down and starts whalin .75 seconds later. One of a kind
If I can’t be my own, i’d feel better dead.
I've noticed that some of the old Alice in Chains videos have been upscaled to 1080p. Seeing this in HD is amazing!!! Makes me miss Layne more?
Dios. Lo amo mucho ❤❤❤❤❤❤
it works if you work it
My brother, age 26, died from the side effects of drug and alcohol addiction. The side effect was suicide in this case. He couldn't stop using. He wanted to stop. All the help was there. But he was to depressed to accept it. I am not mad at him for hanging himself. I'm an alcoholic as well, and I'm in active recovery. I'm 96 days clean and sober myself. I'll show my brother's 9 month old daughter (my beautiful niece) how much he loved her through always being there for her. That baby is mine now. She will not grow up without a father figure if I have anything to do about it.

We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
I'd feel better dead
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Literally just putting this in here so I can sing along. This is and will always be my all time favourite band.
Good luck
Not sure how to explain it, but this song is like coming home. Whether I'm struggling worse than most days or in the best of moods, this song is always there to lift me up (or bring me down at times). Its a spiritual experience listening to Nutshell
Layne comes out, sits down and belts out a performance most artists would end their night on.
as I hide I hear your every word,I lost more In time just too ignorance kinda just absurd.
This song can be interpreted in many different ways for me it hit home with addiction, but it could also be about depression or something else. That's what makes a good song, apealing to different people with different problems or successes… RIP lane !!
This comment section is a very good reminder of how many people struggle with drugs and alcohol…. I wish there was something natural that could boost dopamine Levels and serotonin levels as fast and great as drugs.. So I wouldn't have to feel the broken hearts and sadness of so many of you.. some of you that commented are already dead. Some will die soon… Some will shake it and go on to live happy lives.. Remember this.. no matter what mistakes you made, or what people tell you you are worth every beat that your heart does.. I truly deeply love you all….. Continue to be here for one another..
I think that for a lot of these artists that have passed on via suicide (This one died from heroin & cocaine mix called a "Speedball"), the lyrics they wrote were like them bleeding their souls out onto paper and reliving their pain and torment with every word they sung. He is so sick in this video, reduced to a skeleton, it makes me sad. Such a beautiful voice, "the needle and the damage done". I imagine living life like that must be draining, emotionally and even taking a physical toll. Maybe it takes a tortured soul to sing with that much passion… We are blessed to have been able to hear their music, that connects us, and reminds us that everyone hurts and struggles.
Had no idea layne did ohhh oohh’s…blown away
We chase misprinted lies
We face the path of time
And yet I fight
And yet I fight
This battle all alone
No one to cry to
No place to call home
…..
My gift of self is raped
My privacy is raked
And yet I find
And yet I find
Repeating in my head
If I can't be my own
(–I'd feel better dead—):Fuck.
Gotta say for as many years as I’ve watched this video, it’s nice to see so many comments from just a few months and even days ago. Let’s keep Layne’s spirit alive people.
9years Clean. Love you guys. AIC forever!
Who TF changed the thumbnail?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
17/16 years ago I turned to Alice In Chains during my worst state of mind. Turned to them again several years after. Now here I am again, drinking away, listening to these words all by myself.
Been dealing with a bad cocaine addiction for 5 plus years now every time I relapse I come here
Such a deep song .
Everyone should check out Ryan Upchurchs cover of this .
He captures the emotional release exactly
Imagine witnessing this live. wow
The voice of gen X.
Missing you Layne
RIP my friend. 2020 and I'm still moved by this piece and moved by you. I wish you saw yourself like everyone else saw you. Thank you for your expression and dedication to the arts. Fuck drugs.
I was 12 when you passed. Im 30 now. Still here. Still listening. Still wishing the world was a better place.
Man everyday I wish layne was around to thank, for giving me a way to escape and deal with life no matter what the circumstance through his music. He was definitely ahead of his time. His music will forever be timeless.
Jerry Cantrell looks a lot like Dave Mustaine here.
