So guys I just felt like nutshell could be sadder….once again. Also. Please know. I don’t think these are better than the original songs. They never will be. I just think it’s sometimes cool to have a refreshing spin.

how to make the most depressing song even more depressing

After he says “chase misprinted lies” that bass line and guitar hits like a TRAIN

Man the simplest riff yet so deep

This is literally what depression sounds like

this sounds like slowly falling behind while everyone moves past you

The perfect song to bleed out to in the snow or rain

It has almost been 30 years since the Jar of Flies album came out. Unreal.

listening to these at the darkest time of my life. Found Shame in you and Frogs the most painfull. This one is more coming to terms and giving in to sadness

jarvis more alcohol

i want this song played at my funeral.

Glad you did the studio version. I love Unplugged but the reverb used in the studio version adds the extra 🤌🏻.

Colson Shane: How deeply sad and painful do you’ll want this song to sound and feel?

Comments: Yes!

Nutshell but the shell has clinical depression

this song is not hopeless. Layne wrote lyrics in times of despair but i believe this is what brought him actual hope. he was doing what he was born to do.

I can never get bored of this song

If I can be my own, I feel better dead

This very line brings tears to my eyes each and every time

Verse 1]
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

[Refrain]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh

It almost sounds like Layne is singing from the grave, a tragic reminder of what could have been but what was thrown away in the pursuit of addiction. We miss you Layne Staley.

I listen to this every year during this time of the year, especially on the 31st.
I myself didn't think I'd make it this far tbh. Life's been rough, but we keep going more so for the ones who are no longer here with us. May God bless everyone. Rest easy to everyone who isn't here with us in flesh.
