I saw an interview once where Jerry said that Layne always encouraged him to sing more. He gave Jerry the encouragement to be out there more. Their harmonies are one of the things I loved about Alice In Chains.
phisheswonder *Yes.* Cantrell's got a set of pipes on him that won't quit, and he's drop-dead gorgeous! I surely hope he becomes a born-again Christian sometime, because I'd love to hear him sing throughout eternity--that's a fact, Jack.: )
phisheswonder cantrell's voice is very soothing which is why it balances so well with Layne's. Layne's rougher voice softens when paired with Jerry's voice.
I've been considering creating an online petition to get them in, but I've never done an online petition before, and quite frankly I don't know if anymore than a handful of people would bother to sign it. I mean in order to gain the attention of the Hall Of Fame committee the petition would need millions of signatures. It's something right now I'm looking into.
The lyrics accurately describe how people might appear fine but have "hell within" and the song is unique in the sense it's soothing yet has quite a dark atmosphere. One of my all-time favorite songs.
It's funny how much people create their own narratives in regards to the meaning of music. For me, this song was highly relevant when I was a closet heroin addict and my woman of several years, who was very well put together and beautiful and successful didn't know I was a dark twisted mess. "Heaven beside you, hell within".
Born in the late 70's, an 80's kid, a 90's teenager, raised with music from before my time and not even in my 40's yet, our generation was the best, at least in the music we got to enjoy.
same here born in the 70 ties 80ties kid and partied as teen in the 90 ties to all this music ..Music will never be as good as it was I stopped paying attention after the 90 ties Era ended cause it just ducked after that .
Layne had so much soul. He sang very little in this song but when he came in it was pure chills. When Jerry Cantrell and Layne met, it set the musical universe on fire.
Jerry Cantrell is so god damned underrated. He wrote most of the lyrics, nails the guitar solo in every single song, had and has an amazing voice, he captures a feeling like no other, he started that awesome band, and he’s kept it rolling through two personnel changes. All love and all respect. 🥰🤘🏻
Jerry is the king of riffs. His riffs are so haunting and addictive. And they always grow on you more and sound better over time. Characteristics of classic music
Everyone always says that AIC is Layne Staley and while he is one of the best of all time, Jerry is the music genius of the band. Underrated drummer as well. Kinney is money

I think this is in fact the best Alice in Chains songs ever. It has the slower grunge verses, the melodic chorus, and the post-chorus which is real raunchy and heavy. Vocals from both Jerry and Layne. Nothing more you could want. Not too heavy, not to soft, just right. Also epic solo.
This is what sounds we need right now… but thanks to AIC I can have it all & forever. Here’s to them & my affair with the love of real connective music from when I was hearing and still feeling now. Not many things are real as you grow older but music keeps me powerful
The thing Layne taught me in my teen years was not to try certain drugs. Not everyone is so fortunate, but his melancholic voice taught me things I needed to know when nobody else knew how to tell me such things. He was truly something special, even through his traumas. ❤ Jerry keeps that heart alive.
@@kc-gl9wv “Drugs are not the way to the light. They won’t lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.” Layne Staley, 1995 And clearly you don’t understand what HOPE is trying to say,
The drug education courses in school screwed a lot of us over. Inaccurate. No distinction between weed and harder stuff. As a young teen I thought you could od on weed lol. Then we all learned it was a lie, so many thought it was all bs.
+John Jordan To me Jerry is the brains of the outfit. The major over achiever that saw it in others and carried them. (From what I read) Jerry was known to be of guitar greatness from his teacher. Then met Layne as a room mate. Layne having the dream of a rock singer in drag when he was young. Just what
The ABBA of grunge. Unless you are all about punk. Then its Nirvana. I think AIC with Layne, might have a tiny bit more, especially if you dont count any Hole or Foo.
My interpretation is having someone you love soo much yet feeling undeserving of their love. Heaven beside you is your loved one, so precious and beautiful in your eyes, almost saint-like. Our insecurity, depression, and inner demons, short-comings... is the hell within. The things that torment us, the things we can never share.
This song is beautiful because it can mean so many different things to different people. To me it reminds me of my life as an addict. I was surrounded by family and people who loved me but felt no connection to them, or anything for that matter. Heaven was beside me, but the hell within made me numb to it. Anyways beautiful song. This band in my opinion was by far the best of the 90s grunge bands.
seriously, i've been struggling with addiction for a while and i discovered alice in chains in the midst of it and so many of their songs felt almost like my own subconscious had written them.
Something that will make you appreciate Jerry even more is the story that towards the end of Laynes life when he was having trouble preforming on stage, Jerry would regularly sing ALL of the vocals, even those that most others could not, while Layne would chime in from time to time. The sound those two could produce will never be matched.
This is the case on the Unplugged show where Jerry sings a few leads and harmonizes throughout most of it, but not for regular shows. Jerry hardly sang at all during electric shows, even the KISS tour shows in '96. The footage is all available.
Chris Edwards not really true. Jerry has always been singing back up or harmonizing with Layne. Just watch the Rio concert in 93. Older albums he was singing mostly back up but by Dirt and Jar of Flies he was singing lead in some songs. Layne himself was the one who kept telling Jerry to "sing more" because he obviously could hear it. Jerry at the time wasn't comfortable and didn't really see himself as a singer. It wasn't until Sap and Boggy Depot where he really came on to his own as a singer.
That reminds me of the Beach Boys now. It's Brian Wilson, Al Jardine, and a couple other guys who joined later. Brian's old now but they let him do a few solo parts and chime in whenever he could. He even fell asleep during one of the songs lol.
Amazing how the universe brought these two together... The sound they produce is something that can never be matched!! Layne will be singing when I die!!!
At about 3:27, the way Jerry let's the notes ring out and the timing of it is just so freaking awesome. It's one of my favorite parts of this song. Alice in Chains is ALWAYS in my rotation......
Tickle Fingers Hello! Ignore the errors, I'm using the translator. So, I love this part started in 3:25 "It's the most beautiful part of the song and I just repeat it over and over again.Eternal Love for Alice in Chains.
I think I read Jerry used a sustain pedal, or something to let the string continue to sound uninterrupted for that whole 16 bar section starting at 3:26, and when you listen closely the Jerry repeats the same melodic figure of those two ongoing notes and the rhythm placement of the riff is constant, not quite what one would play if one was just plain or imaginative with playing. Listen , that long note goes on for 3 bars then last bar he skips up a note,and holds that until the last half of the 4th beat ending with those 2 quick notes close together, then he starts over again . forgive my clumsiness at trying to describe the ingenious technique and rhythm scheme of Jerry's solo there but it is simply beautiful. So simply done yet loaded with creativity. in my humble opinion.
In an interview Jerry said that Layne encouraged him to sing more lead....and thats why SAP had more of Jerry on lead. Apparently Layne told him: "They're YOUR songs...you shòuĺd sing them!" Layne was such a beautiful soul...He truly cared about those close to him. Gawd I miss that man!!!🥺😣🙏😢
Jerry your voice along with Laynes will forever NEVER BE DUPLICATED!!! Been a fan forever and we're all truly missing music with meaning, and harmonization!! Thank God for AIC!!! Truly miss u Layne and Mike!!! AIC FOREVER!!!
I was born in 1979 and I cant recall a more awesome time for music than 1990-1995 it was insane, incredible bands, MTV, and people that actually cared for music for what is was, rather than using it to fill up twitter posts and facebook walls

I'm proud you made it brother ♥️💯☮️ you did it but I've had drug issues myself nothing extreme pumping myself with alcohol and pot too the point of death this music does release the soul
Jerry is the one who wrote this song as well as most of their most famous and best songs and just most of their music in general, he was always the primary songwriter and lyrics were split pretty evenly. Would?/down in a hole/them bones/we die young/sea of sorrow and a shit ton more.
That opening riff is so great. Idk how to describe it other than sweet and sour with the sexy reverb and the distortion going on. That’s the sound that gives you goosebumps
Jerry wrote all of the best Alice In Chains songs Melodies, Lyrics, Guitar Jerry is a rare find… what an amazing talent. Nobody sounds like him. So original… I feel hope for music because of him.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I’ll never forget how bummed I was when I heard that this man died.. he lived like six blocks away from me at the time.. I was only 14. Jesus Christ how time does fly
“Heaven Beside You” is one of my favourite AIC songs, I can listen to it all day. This song might had charted much higher or gain more recognition but for obvious reasons (which I’m not going to get into because I’m just going to talk about this song not about the band lack of proper promotion and their reasons for it.) but nonetheless it’s my second favourite AIC song behind “Would?” Jerry is such a underrated songwriter who doesn’t get enough credit as he deserves. Jerry written so many beautiful songs, his a complete workhorse for the band. I hope with in time he gets more recognition as a great songwriter.
The vocal harmonics between Layne and Jerry are just amazing. I'll forever be grateful to the band and their works of art for helping me through some really tough times... the music and lyrics just reach out and grab YOU and you feel like "These guys know EXACTLY what I am going through!"
Grunge is a genre best enjoyed through phone speakers, on a cold day by outside, completely by yourself for miles around with nothing to do but let go.
Probably my favorite Alice song. Melodic, passionate, and beautiful. A sign of a great song is if there are different ways of interpreting it. I think Jerry can picture him self sitting next to his ex (heaven) but might be struggling inside (hell)
This song is like the theme of my teenage awakening. I really couldn't explain nor describe elaborately what I felt those days, but when I listen to this, there's a sense of longing like I wanted to return to that era to fix an unfinished business that I do not know of. There's a dread and a bit of joy in my unconcious mind in a state of a hazy dream. _"Truly Heaven beside me, hell within."_ That's how profound this song hit me in my teenage years. R.I.P Layne Staley
This song started my taste for this band. Then, I listened to Unplugged and I could never stop listening to them again. Long live Alice in Chains. Greetings from Lima, Peru
Alice in Chains is the first band I really liked as a kid. I was like 5 or 6 and would call up the radio everyday after school and ask them to play this song, "got me wrong", and "again". I also bought every album they put out on cassette and would play them non stop on my Walkman lol. Truly my favorite band of all time! Layne you are most definitely missed. AIC will never be the same again... Rest in Peace Layne!
My boyfriend and I listened to this song when we were driving through rural New Hampshire, it had been my first time going to New Hampshire. The combination of the sun, with the trees, the motion of the car, the fact that I was with the love of my life, it made the experience feel like I was on a movie, and I've never felt such joy and sadness at the same time. I will never forget that moment, this song is powerful. I'd do anything for Layne to be alive again...
Layne and Jerry are perhaps the best vocal and guitarist duo ever.I saw AIC back in the early 90s on the clash of the Titans tour and I must say they held their own against Slayer ,Megadeth and Anthrax even though they were a young up and coming act .I usually never watch an opening act but they got my full attention right out of the gate and it never diminished, they are still one of my favorites to this day.
Layne died before I was born, but somehow he continues to impact my life. If that doesn’t show that his music is good, I don’t know what will. His music and lyrics are meaningful and amazing, A shame he died so early
Hearing songs like this is like jumping in a time machine and trying to remember what I doing 30 years- ish ago . Damn I miss the 90s especially in this troubled times ill hold onto the good memories
I saw an interview once where Jerry said that Layne always encouraged him to sing more. He gave Jerry the encouragement to be out there more. Their harmonies are one of the things I loved about Alice In Chains.
I heard they hired awful singers so Layne could step up and be him singing!

AiC had some of the best harmony in the business. A true original group. No one ever sounded like them. One of a kind.
ONE OF THE BEST BANDS OF ALLTIME. VERY UNDERRATED, SHOULD BE IN THE HALL OF FAME.
Agree. I'm not giving up yet. They'll get there.
Well, Pearl and Oasis did get in the RnR Hall of Fame, so i still have faith that these guys get in there.

Does anyone else truly appreciate the BASS in this song ???!!!
Inez is awesome
After the vocals, the best part
Each guitar part and bass part is super good!
Inez is an awesome bassist and awesome person, they upgraded with him over Starr
Pretty much all of their songs. They actually use their bass player for harmony/melody to chilly effect.

I think anyone who knows him rates him high honestly
Awesome voice and the glue for the band but layne’s voice was the power behind the band

Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley combined baritones creates a haunting yet pleasant combination.

I was born in 1980. I am so thankful I was a child of the 90s.
I was a child of the 00's :'( fucking sad
+Einhander 151 yes
+shocker147 I'd give anything to relive those years.
1982 here! Yeah, the '90s were definitely great times for music!
I was born in 1979 and I cant recall a more awesome time for music than 1990-1995 it was insane, incredible bands, MTV, and people that actually cared for music for what is was, rather than using it to fill up twitter posts and facebook walls
Both of their voices complemented each other. AIC is the most under appreciated band of the last 50 years by far
I grew up on grunge, we will never have bands this good again ever.
nope, we don't. like there's this nu metal, what the hell is that?
@@andrewooton7275 yeah i get it trust me i do cus im gonna be 38 but then i think back at the stuff my mom said about the music i love and it''s the same thing like if we were in this generation, we'd love what they love too more than likely so i go easy on em lol
@@andrewooton7275 Nu metal is like 20 years outdated by now. It's all rap nowadays.
My dad and I love these guys. They were one of the best of all time. Hope they’re appreciate as much as we appreciate them
AIC is ageless. Every album sounds as fresh today as the day it was released. I never thought I would miss the 90s, but I do because of these guys.
one of the best fuckin songs, Layne and Jerry's Harmony nails it !!!
it takes talent to nail the harmony parts like this
4:12 Always been my fav part “You’re just see thru faded, overrated Out of your mind” 🎶🎵 😊
That main melody/riff will just never get old
The part after the solo at 3:30 with the guitar is pure magic
keskusracing Hello! Ignore the errors, I'm using the translator. So, I love this part started in 3'27 "It's the most beautiful part of the song and I just repeat it over and over again.Eternal Love for Alice in Chains.

Genius
It really is
IKR
Yes!!!!!! Very melancholy and I hear other 70s influenced rock in there somewhere, just simply amazing track!
Layne’s music spoke to my soul I’m a ex heroin addicted sober 7years and I now have a family but Layne’s music sums up how I felt in those dark years
I'm proud you made it brother ♥️💯☮️ you did it but I've had drug issues myself nothing extreme pumping myself with alcohol and pot too the point of death this music does release the soul
I hope you are doing better now, my friend
Good for you bro, i heard heroin is the hardest drug to quit
Aic has gotten me thru the many many years struggling with heroin addiction as well..
Jerry is the one who wrote this song as well as most of their most famous and best songs and just most of their music in general, he was always the primary songwriter and lyrics were split pretty evenly. Would?/down in a hole/them bones/we die young/sea of sorrow and a shit ton more.
One of their best and most underrated songs. Can't believe this doesn't have 10 times the views it has now.
I can believe it (see my comment above) and well done for using the word "underrated" that I encounter yet again, now regarding this song.
That opening riff is so great. Idk how to describe it other than sweet and sour with the sexy reverb and the distortion going on. That’s the sound that gives you goosebumps
There will NEVER be music like this ever again
imagine if aic & nirvana done a gig together. the world would implode from awesome overload
they did in 93 in Rio.
My 2 fav bands
I'd die
Beautiful song/cool video. Long live the 90s!!!!!
Jerry wrote all of the best Alice In Chains songs
Melodies, Lyrics, Guitar
Jerry is a rare find… what an amazing talent. Nobody sounds like him.
So original… I feel hope for music because of him.
This has got to be one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded. I’ll never forget how bummed I was when I heard that this man died.. he lived like six blocks away from me at the time.. I was only 14. Jesus Christ how time does fly
Jerry Cantrell is such an underrated vocalist and guitarist for sure!!!
One of my favorite Alice in chains songs, we miss you Layne😢
Some of the best music ever recorded came from Alice In Chains In the 1990's.
Can never get enough of that monster guitar riff. These guys are all underrated musicians in my opinion. RIP Layne.
Grateful I grew up in the 90s. That era did fine without social media. That was worth the wait.
I love the 90s.
Pretty cool. FM hardly plays real music. I love 90s music.
Absolutely. He is gifted as hell. Great song writer. Great guitarist.
Like the coldest winter chill
heaven beside you ;3
Juliana Learned (Hell within)
Heaven beside you.
Freezer beside you
Fridge within.
0:43 i love the chorus guitar and bass riffs
Just one of the many amazing songs in AIC arsenal.
"Even when I'm down and blue, rather be me than you."
Like a coldest winter chill heaven beside you Hell within.
“Heaven Beside You” is one of my favourite AIC songs, I can listen to it all day. This song might had charted much higher or gain more recognition but for obvious reasons (which I’m not going to get into because I’m just going to talk about this song not about the band lack of proper promotion and their reasons for it.) but nonetheless it’s my second favourite AIC song behind “Would?” Jerry is such a underrated songwriter who doesn’t get enough credit as he deserves. Jerry written so many beautiful songs, his a complete workhorse for the band. I hope with in time he gets more recognition as a great songwriter.
The vocal harmonics between Layne and Jerry are just amazing. I'll forever be grateful to the band and their works of art for helping me through some really tough times... the music and lyrics just reach out and grab YOU and you feel like "These guys know EXACTLY what I am going through!"
Grunge is a genre best enjoyed through phone speakers, on a cold day by outside, completely by yourself for miles around with nothing to do but let go.
We all listen to him forever
Man, AIC had some underrated tight harmonies, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell were a match made in heaven...or hell 😅
Probably my favorite Alice song. Melodic, passionate, and beautiful. A sign of a great song is if there are different ways of interpreting it. I think Jerry can picture him self sitting next to his ex (heaven) but might be struggling inside (hell)
This song is like the theme of my teenage awakening. I really couldn't explain nor describe elaborately what I felt those days, but when I listen to this, there's a sense of longing like I wanted to return to that era to fix an unfinished business that I do not know of. There's a dread and a bit of joy in my unconcious mind in a state of a hazy dream. _"Truly Heaven beside me, hell within."_
That's how profound this song hit me in my teenage years.
R.I.P Layne Staley
This song started my taste for this band. Then, I listened to Unplugged and I could never stop listening to them again. Long live Alice in Chains. Greetings from Lima, Peru
Good evening Carlos how are you doing today
jerry Cantrell is amazing
Martin Davies the best!
Bought this CD in 96 and it stills kicks ass. Going on 62 and am still inspired as much if not more.
Alice incorporates guitar and bass so well
I never realized how much this sums me up till I took the time to actuly hear the lyrics this song speaks to my soul
Laynes voice gives me the coldest winter chill. Hands down the best singer ever.
They gave me chills when they sing.
Alice in Chains is the first band I really liked as a kid. I was like 5 or 6 and would call up the radio everyday after school and ask them to play this song, "got me wrong", and "again". I also bought every album they put out on cassette and would play them non stop on my Walkman lol. Truly my favorite band of all time! Layne you are most definitely missed. AIC will never be the same again... Rest in Peace Layne!
My boyfriend and I listened to this song when we were driving through rural New Hampshire, it had been my first time going to New Hampshire. The combination of the sun, with the trees, the motion of the car, the fact that I was with the love of my life, it made the experience feel like I was on a movie, and I've never felt such joy and sadness at the same time. I will never forget that moment, this song is powerful. I'd do anything for Layne to be alive again...
AIC "is" nostalgia ! No other band brings me back the way they do!! It's heart wrenching 💔, but it fills you with so much joy at the same time!
Like the coldest winter chill, heaven beside you.
Good evening friend how are you doing today
been a fan since the beginning and still get the chills everytime I listen... like the coldest winter will!!
Me recuerda cuando estaba en secundaria.todos escuchando en la radio buena música en esos tiempos,
Layne and Jerry are perhaps the best vocal and guitarist duo ever.I saw AIC back in the early 90s on the clash of the Titans tour and I must say they held their own against Slayer ,Megadeth and Anthrax even though they were a young up and coming act .I usually never watch an opening act but they got my full attention right out of the gate and it never diminished, they are still one of my favorites to this day.
Masterpiece .
I don't know where I've been this whole time, but I'm finally here and it feels like home. Pure bliss listening to all of AIC on repeat. Beautiful.
Some songs never get old
This song releases all the poison I have inside myself every time I listen to it
The sweetest Alice in Chains' video.
Love it.
Beautiful song.
Heaven beside you... Hell within.
Funny how perfect AiC's lyrics will always be. I can always relate to them so much.
Jerry is a god tier songwriter.
Layne died before I was born, but somehow he continues to impact my life. If that doesn’t show that his music is good, I don’t know what will. His music and lyrics are meaningful and amazing, A shame he died so early
Hearing songs like this is like jumping in a time machine and trying to remember what I doing 30 years- ish ago . Damn I miss the 90s especially in this troubled times ill hold onto the good memories
3:13 to 4:00 Lead guitar reflecting the yearning of my lonely soul over the last 37 years...
my favorite. love those switches in melodies
