      David L. Do you know he was clean during this period. I think it's why he could reflect and say to himself that it was his time to wake up . Just my point of view. But it is true that he was clean during the recording of this album. I really don't know if he stayed clean during the performances from Mad Season. It's a horrible crippling feeling of doom in active addiction. Love for Layne always

    I was at a rehab school and one day they let each one of us play a song that we thought would be beneficial to the group. I chose this song and most people sat there with their dumb ass egos too tough to be affected by it but one guy broke down and I think it changed him. All that matters is it reached that one guy

Addiction is addiction whether you're a rock star or the bum on the street with no teeth sleeping under newspapers on a park bench. Mike Starr was the last person to see Layne alive but he's gone now too. So now hopefully in heaven.

I wouldn’t of let him rot on his own couch. So fkn sad man. I’m 6’7” 340 lbs so door don’t slow me down and why I think I could of helped him. 80 pounds? Oh yeah I could thrown his ass to where he needed to go😥😤😰 his music and connection with his fans especially people like me is why I know he’s in heaven if he believed. You can’t affect that many people positively and NOT GET to Heaven. Anyway I know because I asked god and he answered me👍🏼😎👍🏼

    Wake up young man
    It's time to wake up
    Your love affair has got to go
    For ten long years
    For ten long years the leaves
    To rake up
    Slow suicide's no way to go
    Blue, clouded grey,
    You're not a crack up
    Dizzy and weakened by the haze
    Moving onward
    So an infection not a phase
    The cracks and lines from
    Where you gave up
    They make an easy man to read
    For all the times you let them
    Bleed you
    For little peace from God you plead
    And beg
    For little peace from God you plead
    wake up young man wake up wake up wake up
    wake up wake up... wake up
    wake up young man
    its time yo wake up
    Your love affair has got to go
    For ten long years
    For ten long years the leaves
    To rake up
    Slow suicide's no way to go
    Slow suicide's no way to go
    wake up wake up wake up
    wake up wake up wake up

Every time I hear it I can't help but cry thinking of everyone, including you, who never escaped this darkness.

    I was fresh out of rehab when I found this album while working at a Goodwill. I read Layne's name on vocals and that was all I needed. It helped me every day at that shitty job until I got a good one. I still have the CD and it's 12 years later, I'm alive, I'm clean, I have a wife(who I met in treatment) and step kids a house and three dogs. If anyone out there is struggling you can do it, seriously just one day at a time and before you know it you'll have years in too.

      And that is just one of the amazing things about this song, and actually all of Layne's songs really.. that the lyrics have a pretty specific meaning, or subject.. but, at the same time, they have the ability to be interpreted however it feels, or means, to the listener. And, like you said, in this specific case, even someone who has never been an addict, can feel something from the song, and it's lyrics. And that is actually kinda hard to do.. but he managed to get that same feeling, and versatility, from all his songs.. both from Mad Season, and Alice in Chains. And, if for some reason, someone couldn't feel anything from the lyrics, then there is always the instrumental music 🎶.. which is universal, and anyone can get something from that...

      I was only 6 years old when he died but I still remember it like it was yesterday. My uncle was huge into grunge and 90s alternative and he introduced me to so much great music, including my favorite band of all-time Alice In Chains. I’ll never forget being 5 or 6 years old and staring at that damned 3-legged dog on the cd cover, both horrified and mesmerized, as my uncle played it for me. My aunt actually met Layne at a rock bar in Atlanta. She was big in the scene during the 90s. She was invited to sit and have a drink with him, right when AIC was starting to take off. She said he had one of the most tormented souls she’d ever seen. It broke her heart to look him in the eye. That poor man lived a very tortured existence.

      Living in this world is like a big test but you & both your son's are Warrior's! You've seen & experienced "rock bottom" yourself &/or your sons too. Unfortunately, the bringer of evil is always waiting for an opportunity to cause Doubt, hopeless feelings etc. Addiction is a serious disease & it can & does turn families upside down.
      I say keep things as simple as possible in your life, 'share your honest feelings with your boys, with the support of a friend if you need to. Let your sons know they're loved no matter what they dealing/struggling with.
      When someone feels like they're on their own or that no one understands that is when people's inner-negative thoughts can take over & cause one to spiral into a hole, quickly! As humans, we need to keep a look out for our fellow brother's @ all times.

    First of all, all of your comments are incredible beautiful people and thank you all to everyone who shared. Words cant even begin to express the way this song makes me feel, as I know many of you, including Layne felt the same as I do on a daily basis. But people like Layne, Shannon Hoon, and many others, keep me going on a daily thru this incredible music. Who cares what type of success or failure these albums or projects had, because we all know the bands that released them didnt, they made the music for the way they felt, like a human being. We need more of this type of expression in our music today, and I know the talent is there people are just afraid to express or support it. Would love to see some bands break thru just the way the grunge scene ripped through the 90s and rock and roll as it was known at the time. RIP LAYNE AND SHANNON I LISTEN AND AM INSPIRED BY YOU EVERY GOT DARN DAY

    “For a little peace from God you plead”
    Never pleaded harder than when I od’d on cough syrup, alone, in my room, just a few weeks ago. After years and years of addictions and insanity. And as I was having the most painful shit of my life to get all that poison out of me, the pain began to subside. Mashallah, god is beautiful. I’m not saying Islam or any religion is right for everyone. But I know that was my “last chance”. I’ve been clean from cough syrup, pills, and cannabis (which was just a problem for me, no judgment) since that day. It’s hard but I know I’d be dead if I denied the greater power.

    It's very strange I must say. I randomly found this song, and honestly I forgot even how. Had no idea who was in the band, just liked the artwork. Started listening to this, and it spoke volumes in a way no other song ever has. I'm a recovering alcoholic and have been sober for about 6 months now. Lately, the urges have been eating away at me. Anyone that's been down the rabbit hole understands I'm sure. Every time I listen to this song now, it silences the demons in my head just enough to ease the feeling. Very grateful I found this, and anyone else who is struggling, you are not alone. There's so many people out there and so many different forms of help. I chose to do it with no meetings and no help really. Hard and difficult but i'll be alright, and so will you.
