Lyrics:
never throw off your halo
you won’t be getting it back
pitching stones from your cradle
defensive on the attack
if your heart’s still bleeding you’re mine
I never wanted that
every word kept breeding more lies
I never wanted that
do we stay or can we go
that’s not for me to decide
let it breathe so we can grow
or else we get stuck in a fight
have the strangest feeling I’m tired
I never wanted that
and you found my dealings unkind
I never wanted that
if you call and I’m not crying
don’t tell me I’m empty inside
I’m alone inside my castle where we tried
all the photographs that I took
they’re driving me out of my mind
I’m entombed inside my castle where we died

I don't understand why artists like Greg get so little views. This is actually better than the music what plays on the radio station

[@tilliv1212]

Does everybody eat caviar? Correct...

[@silasjohnny1760]

They're so tasteless that don't deserve to listen to this, rest assured we appreciate the true music and that's what matters

[@CC-ky6ch]

He's not a very good singer and not his "signature sound". Shits soft.

[@ELectroZoomHD]

@@CC-ky6ch Greg isn't so good live. I can affirm that because i listed to 11/11/20:Los Angeles which was released recently . Anyway he is a good artist because his studios records are terrific and he can implement what he writes.

[@jamiebexley7125]

And he ain't even trying with this .. lol.

[@zacshiffer]

All that work with Jerry Cantrell really had an effect toward this sound. Heavy AIC vibes. Great work, Greg!!

[@Rottenknee]

But you know he wants to rage. 😂

[@lilsoup8239]

Uh, not really. I mean if anything it's like adding cream cheese to a bagel. Give credit where credit is due.

[@the_vespertine7195]

Damn, this is great. Loving the AIC vibes

[@zacshiffer]

I was just going to say, all that working with Jerry Cantrell must’ve had an effect. Love it.

[@markozeko7539]

First thought that crossed my mind was that has a lot of Jerry Cantrell's incluence. Great song.

[@Helicopterpilot16]

At first I'm like; no, I don't hear it. 2:50, Ohhhhh...

[@streamcreature348]

Always a big fan of DEP, but his solo stuff just sounds so mature. Absolute banging. Can't wait to catch a live show.

[@SanskarWagley]

Can’t wait for this and new The Black Queen

[@siobhanr8192]

NEW TBQ TOO?! oh god I'm gonna d i e

[@sadie4479]

Wait, what seriously new TBQ? Or are you just saying that because you want that??? 🧐

[@SanskarWagley]

@@sadie4479just saying...likely won't come out until next year

[@sadie4479]

@@SanskarWagley oh well, that's ok i can be patient lol

[@svartsjokolade]

I remember hearing in an interview with GP that new TBQ is actually in the works! So excited!

[@Weareconnected167]

This song has a real The Cure - The Mission vibe to it.. great video!

[@shadow_finds_light]

Exactly what I was thinking!

[@tomtucker1984]

I'm hearing a bit of Jerry Cantrell myself.

[@Flux799]

I love how the drums actually sound like real drums.

[@vjaceslavsjanens6966]

Please, just don’t stop doing everything you do! I’ve had about 3-hour long walk playing this on repeat last night.

[@evansolomon169]

Hope you got to where you needed to be.

Good exercise, Greg would approve

[@Psykostatik]

I'm loving that there's a Greg for every mood and every flavor of manic, melancholy & everything in between.

[@kbeat8208]

I love everyone who wants good for others

[@adrianciucko3798]

Greg, that's a masterpiece. Haven't heard such a good piece of music for along time, especially drums mixed with enormous vocals and guitar. I'm delighted with your work. Good luck and give us more of your work. We need it. GREETINGS FROM POLAND.

[@MTSpade]

I was always such a huge fan of dillinger and thought the world of him as a vocalist but this is his most ambitious shit in years, so diggin it, this might be one of my fav tracks hes ever done

[@nickgramuglia6437]

Greg never disappoints… such a banger!!

[@stefanberg8734]

Unreal tune Greg🤘🏻🤘🏻 He’s keeping the grunge vibes alive!A dark yet a nice gentle groove to walk around a city at night too.

[@romankedelski7487]

Great video, great music, great vocal ...yeaah... greetings from Poland

[@SterlingSimmons22]

Killer track. He Definitely has such a wide range of style he can do, love his voice. One of the most underrated singers

[@ekswfrenwn7]

This is an instant classic, I can’t believe how good this is, I’ve been listening this kind of music for 30 years and very rarely a song can be stuck on my mind that quickly as this one, it’s unreal how catchy this tune is!

[@martaabc561]

I love to walk listening to this piece at night. City lights and this awesome music match perfectly. Dziękuję!!!

[@jacsjacs3650]

Brilliant song. And Greg's voice is out of this world. Absolute perfection.

It felt like we were walking with you. A beautiful composition. Hit the heart. I really love your vocals. Было ощущение, что мы погуляли с тобой. Прекрасная композиция. Попала в самое сердце. Очень любою твой вокал.

You paint darkness with layers of beautiful ambience. A pleasure to always listen to you.

[@motokokusanagi1172]

Less than 500K views for this great song? There is sth really wrong with YT algorithm! It should be in recommended after every Alice in chains song.

[@nightowl7644]

Such a menace to music !!!!! Everything this guy touches is gold !!!

[@belmori3397]

Every step he`s taking, makes me so proud, I love the fact that he keeps bringing out all his facets and I think there is much more still, long live Greg!

I was thinking you were speaking in literal terms of every step he takes in the music video 🙃 lol

This is amazing.. getting total Layne Staley vibes.

Man this sounds so Frrresh! 🔥 Why the f songs like these not popular? I guess the tradition of writing good songs/records has unfortunately been replaced by 15 sec tictok jingles.

[@brigittedecouvreur8879]

Just experienced Greg live last week! Exceptional singer, great songs, really tight band and made the whole experience really personal for everyone. More live tours please Greg - we're loving your evolution.

I adore this man ❤❤❤

[@cryofmelpomene3397]

Every word from the text goes to the heart. I think I understood you as I've never understood you like I do now. You're closing the distance between us with your words. No one has ever been so close to my thoughts. I'm a fan. I'm listening on repeat and waiting for a new album. Каждое слово из текста в самое сердце. Мне кажется я тебя поняла так как никогда не понимала, как сейчас. Ты сокращаешь расстояние между нами своими словами. Так близко к моим мыслям еще не был никто. Я фанат. Слушаю на репите и жду новый альбом.

[@eoinleahy2081]

Unreal song Greg , reminds me of something from Alice In Chains - Tripod album

[@Pamela.In.Chains66]

Love love love this song his voice is so intense it puts goose bumps on my skin

[@Pamela_In_Chains]

This song has definitely got an Alice feel to it. Greg’s a fantastic singer and sounds bad ass him and Jerry singing together too 💕 Greg is definitely going places I love this masterpiece 🤘

This guy can do no wrong.

[@darodaro2230]

What a great music ❤

[@wallamazoo01]

I saw DEP a few years back in Seattle, that was a blast! The concussion during the mosh pit was worth it, except for blacking out and missing half of the set. 10/10 would do it again, but be more careful this time. Accidents happen. This solo set is pretty rad though, I got a good example from Imaginary Fire with Carpenter Brut and knew that moment forward this album would be so well made. July 1 can't come soon enough, even though it's next Friday.

[@Nick-gk6hj]

Holy smokes...this is good!

[@alyssaann7858]

Been waiting excitedly for this ans I'm not disappointed

[@clintj]

Wow... the thing with Greg is that you never know what to expect form the music - which is good - but I really hope most of the album is in this vibe. Def picking up a grunge vibe... wonder if that was brought to the fore from his time jamming with Cantrell?

[@ericwhatley5831]
