Lyrics:
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you think you have it still
Heaven inside you
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!
@Jerry Cantrell What? Are you impersonating Jerry Cantrell to slide into comments of Alice in Chains fans? I'm not even mad. Nice
"Sunshine.....sweet love my labor!"
@@henriquesilvestre4078where did you heat that
@@ramsesm6468don’t mind, i don’t care no more
Does anyone else think that Cantrell has a really beautiful voice?
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.: )
uh, no.
phisheswonder if you haven't, you should hear his song the title is "My Song"

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 can’t believe how well Jerry’s and Layne’s vocals match together it’s like John Lennon’s and Paul McCartney’s vocal harmonies it’s so beautiful
that is saying a lottt but dam i agree
theyre doubled, stereoed, and yeah theyre awesome
Couldn’t agree more
The Beatles suck 😂😂😂
@@charlesrollins4154 And the earth is flat
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.
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.
Great analysis. Been searching for a good meaning.
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".
@@SisypheanSeas13 this is the weakest 'analysis' ever goodbye!
sums me up
The heaven beside you is something that gets you happy, but you can never get it
Jerry Cantrell and Layne Staley combined baritones creates a haunting yet pleasant combination.
Layne sounded more like a tenor to me, but their voices certainly complemented each other!
Have a look in the Wiki list "American baritones".. And have yourself a nice slice of STFU ;)
^lol
Reports Virtuoso What's a baritone?
05Rudey 😂😂😂😂
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.
Where did he sing in the song? I think the chorus is just two Jerry's.
same here especially with the rises and drops at 3:30-4:00
Be what you wanna be
See what you came to see
Been what you wanna be
I don't like what I see
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you think you have it still
Heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind
Do what you wanna do
Go out and seek your truth
When I'm down and blue
Rather be me than you
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you wish you had it still
Heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, and I'm not blind
I'm just see through faded, super jaded
And out of my mind
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you, hell within
And you know you have it still
Heaven inside you
So there's problems in your life
That's fucked up, but you're not blind
You're just see through faded, overrated
And out of your mind
These are the wrong lyrics. "That's *fucked* up" is censored here and I'm trying to find that word
You just copy pasted these lyrics, shame on you
@Zypher I hear packed
I always thought they were saying like the coldest winter jail.
@@campinatorxbox1610 That sounds cool
Its “tanked”
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. 🥰🤘🏻
Indeed
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
He's fantastic
he ain't Layne !!
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.
Yea, same with soundgarden. No doubt, both of them will be in there sooner or later
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.
Oasis aren't in the Hall Mate.
Don't need auto-tune when you can sing this well.
Heaven beside you .. ;)
Doesn’t get any better than this for 90s music.
I love music across all genres and decades, but I can't help but look back on this era and feel we will never have it as good again.
here here
but we had it at least, is our 'secret'
im feeling the same way right now
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 .
jerry Cantrell is so underrated as artist.
I agree dude he's my person favorite guitarist and he has a unique sound
Not by his fans, my friend.
Wow he draws and paints too? What CAN'T that guy do? lol
hes alright
He really is. He's so freakin good
4:12 Always been my fav part “You’re just see thru faded, overrated Out of your mind” 🎶🎵 😊
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.
I love chorus, always think of grunge when i hear it
nah.. ROOSTER and WOULD are masterpieces
Down in a hole for me, this alone second.
@@thereishope5236this rooster and man in the box are what set me in
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
I always found it interesting how AIC shared vocals on songs.
ha: listen to "Walk Like An Egyptian", where all four gals in the band take a turn on LEAD vocals. not sure that'd ever been done before.
Like the Beatles? Smh
It also provides for a nice harmonization of Staley singing higher and Cantrell singing lower
@@staceystrukel1917 KISS
@@staceystrukel1917 Why the attitude?
Of all the "grunge" icons, Jerry Cantrell has got to be one of the most creative and influential to that gritty sound.. musically at least.
kurt? eddie at least :(
+John Jordan AIC is metal..not grunge but does it really matter
+Soverign Cold-Steel imo, it's a mixture of both
+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
+John Jordan Agreed! You can always tell his style from anyone else's. That's why he's one of my favorite guitarist of all time. :)
This video drips with 90’s visuals and effects. I miss the 90’s....
2024...everyone looking for all the "anyone still listening in 2024...", just click this
Those comments are annoying when you wanna hear peoples actual thoughts on the music.
@@Dalvoryit’s like a bunch of bots repeating eachother, they can’t come up with any original thoughts
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 pretty much summons up their sound together. There haven't been a match ever since. Love AIC but... Something is missing.. ;)
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.
That's simply not true. Layne sang all his parts until their last show. Jerry took the lead only in songs where he originally sang lead to start with.
Jerry Cantrell has awesome vocals
His vocals are meh. Should have left this song to Layne.
Jerry b good Layne b God! Go! @@dubblej2135
@@dubblej2135 ignorant
@@dubblej2135 lol no, it’s Jerry’s song and the vocals are great, love Layne but the song wouldn’t be the same with him singing instead of Jerry.
@@dubblej2135 CHECK YOUR EARS PAL!!
what gets me about Alice In Chains is their near perfect production
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.
You know he died from drugs right?
You don’t understand music. Sad
@@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,
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
Simply, the best and darkest Grunge band of all time.
Listen to Failure's Magnified. It comes pretty close
@@youisiaintI love failure, one of my favorite bands but they’re not grunge
There will never be enough volume in the world for this song , for me ......
They gave me chills when they sing.
The fact that AIC's catalogue is so small (relatively) and I am still discovering bangers like this is a testament to how incredibly good they were
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.
My father loved Alice in chains. So much reminiscing everytime I listen to their songs. My dad had took his life in August of 2012. I miss you dad...
Sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️
♥️
I’m so deeply sorry for your loss 💔
Keep it going my g 💪
That main melody/riff will just never get old
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.
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
Jerry Cantrell is definitley one of the best songwriters from over the last 30 years
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!!!
one of the best fuckin songs, Layne and Jerry's Harmony nails it !!!
it takes talent to nail the harmony parts like this
Jerry was a genius, could write the most melancholy riff or the hardest riff that would punch you in the face. Much love, RIP Layne and Mike
Man, AIC had some underrated tight harmonies, Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell were a match made in heaven...or hell 😅
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...
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
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!!!🥺😣🙏😢
I love it when people bookmark interesting things like that. I'm happy to give you your Like #100!
@@Fk67Lg could just be natural sustain from feedback. Similar discussion happens with SLTS solo.
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.
I agree, and also no other grunge band comes close
I totally agree…takes me back to my dark H days
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.
To me, it was an excellent explanation of major depression.
Both of their voices complemented each other. AIC is the most under appreciated band of the last 50 years by far
Jerry Cantrell is such an underrated vocalist and guitarist for sure!!!
Some of the best music ever recorded came from Alice In Chains In the 1990's.
Cantrells voice was that perfect match for Staleys. Just beatiful
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.
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!!!
So do I Courtney ...
I think it might Layne when I die, too.
The part after the solo at 3:30 with the guitar is pure magic

Genius
It really is
IKR
Yes!!!!!! Very melancholy and I hear other 70s influenced rock in there somewhere, just simply amazing track!
2024 and this is still fire ! Alice In Chains is badass
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.
They censored it? That's fucked up! But i'm not blind.
This was before UA-cam existed and played for MTV and other video channels that didn't air profanity.
That's "Tied up".
I thought he was saying that's tanked up xD
Mr. Black damn Daniel back at it again with the racism
bill williamston
I don't wanna hear that shit. Grow up and grow some balls. we live in a diverse ecosystem. there are many people good and bad but not of color. so, I'm glad you said enough of this racism shit to that dude.
Alice incorporates guitar and bass so well
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.
I haven’t heard a drummer in a long time so willing to accentuate the structure of the song rather than embellish it with his own personality.
Masterpiece .
Layne looks all cool and mysterious with his hat.
Absolutely. He is gifted as hell. Great song writer. Great guitarist.
This song will never get old
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!
jerry Cantrell is amazing
Martin Davies the best!
Laynes voice gives me the coldest winter chill. Hands down the best singer ever.
Him and layne singing together is what's made alice do incredible
Bought this CD in 96 and it stills kicks ass. Going on 62 and am still inspired as much if not more.
This song releases all the poison I have inside myself every time I listen to it
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
One of the very few bands blessed w/ 2 lead singers. Thanks Jerry for continuing.
3 if you count Jerry's solos, man can. Make a guitar sing
I like the bluesy, country chords in the beginning
Can never get enough of that monster guitar riff. These guys are all underrated musicians in my opinion. RIP Layne.
Just one of the many amazing songs in AIC arsenal.
"Even when I'm down and blue, rather be me than you."
my favorite. love those switches in melodies
like the cold ass winter chill
Cold ass.
They both fit.
I adore commenters like you
Coldest. Yet its so warm. Figures
Lmao
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)
Like the coldest winter chill
Heaven beside you, hell within…
One of my faves. Jerry's vocals so good here
One of the best songs.
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
Beautiful voice and together with Layne it was unbelievable.
Like the coldest winter chill, heaven beside you.
Heaven beside you... Hell within.
Funny how perfect AiC's lyrics will always be. I can always relate to them so much.
Be who you want to be, see what you came to see♥️
Like the coldest winter will
Heaven beside you and hell within
Yes Cantrell voice is like no other
How much i miss the 90s.. :'(
I am 58 and i love this kind of music
Well stick a shotgun in my mouth at the peek of my carrier and pull the trigger if you miss it that much RIP Kurt Cobain
Was definitely a great time in music.
I totally agree and I'm 39
This definitely deserves more views and Alice in Chains deserves more attention...
What a great riff
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!

And Shannon Hoon
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
Spring 1996 this came out. Takes me back!
Like the coldest winter chill
heaven beside you ;3
Juliana Learned (Hell within)
Heaven beside you.
Freezer beside you
Fridge within.
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.
90 music videos were the Best
From Tripod... Recorded April-August 1995 and Released January 29, 1996. Oh those beautiful harmonies between Layne and Jerry...like it is one voice. ❤😥
Love em worshiped them over 20 years . the band of mystery. And talent beyond the word over. Rest in peace bro!
I can hear his south Western influence in here. Love that southern rock tone and licks
0:43 i love the chorus guitar and bass riffs
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!"
🥺 Truth now... if it weren't for Alice in chains & Nirvana there's no way in hell i would have survived my childhood. It hurts to say that but its true, even still to this day sometimes a AIC or Nirvana song comes on it opens up a wound. I wish with all my heart & soul i could forget all that emotional torment, the grief and all the lonliness but it feels like the older I get the hurt just grows & grows & grows 💔🥺😭
