| This is so much more powerful than AIC ever were. You can really hear the truth in Laynes voice..the music, the feeling, tha voice. overwhelming. R.I.P Layne | |

| Anyone who listens to Alice in Chains knows what I mean when I say you can just feel how much Layne is in to his music by how he sounds and he shows that in this song especially. To bad he died, the music he has been associated with has always been some of my favorite and he will be missed. | |

| "The cracks and lines from where you gave up, they make an easy man to read" probably refers to the scars left on his body by heroin use. Every time he tried to stop using people would judge him by those. I guess this made it even harder for him because everyone only saw him as a hapless junkie and it's hard to change on your own when people see you as only that. | |

| This song is so beautiful and yet so hard to listen to. Layne is speaking to himself admitting he has a problem and he needs to do something about it. To think about the lyrics of this song is so damn sad. | |

| In this song, Layne admits that he has a heroin problem and he desparately wants to get sober "wake up young man, it's tme to wake up. Your love affair has got to go" He says that he needs to get his life in order after all the years of wasted time. This addiction has completely consumed him and he's crying for help. He knows his life could be much better without heroin and all of the pain it had caused him. | |

| It's very unfortunate that he never got over his heroin addiction, since he died 3 years ago. And that Mad Season was very short-lived. After this album, he and Alice in Chains did 'Unplugged in New York' in '96. I'm guessing that was one of his last public experiences. Ironically, he died the same day Kurt cobain, one of my other rock idols, died partly of a heroin overdose, (besides the gun shot wound. without the wound, kurt would have died anyway) God bless Mad Season | |

Layne is so great there is so much feeling in his voice. this song is more then just Layne's cleaness to me, it's much more, it is kinda like a realization of something from ignorance. get it? | |
