J-CAT - It's been Awhile

[@patricklittle864]

My wife of almost 16 years just left me... this song is my therapy.

[@ryanred2204]

J-X Boxer dam bro hate to hear that hope things are better now that it’s been awhile... no pun intended

[@Svo_matt_2.3]

I see your comment was made 3 yrs ago but i hope your doing good

[@RJ67.]

They always think "the grass is greener over there" Then they leave, look back and see even greener grass where they just left , that's because they fail to realize they block the sun for their own green grass to grow where they are.

I love Aaron's old voice it was hardcore & awesome

[@eddymccoy8151]

Man his voice has become more well tempered since the JCAT days.. And i didnt even know this existed till now... Wow.. He has an impressive 4 1/2 octave range nowadays too...

[@R8rRen]

IDK about octaves or any of that stuff, I just know awesome when I hear it.

[@EarthScribeOfficial]

I actually love this version much better. It feels so real

[@sleepyavii2484]

kinda pisses me off i cant find this version on spotify. used to despise the its been awhile that we have now, but this version i feel makes me actually listen and not get annoyed

[@XD-pk8zy923]

This whole album is so good :):) I agree this version is raw and real 💜

[@JLA12301985]

Yep, he's my favorite singer of the 90's, & now!

Aaron Lewis still rock's as good as he did then as he does today

[@elvalle89]

The guitar parts remind me of Alice in Chains MTV Unplugged, the song "Brother", in particular

Yeah, I know. lol. What about the newest album, though? They tried to make a more aggressive, heavy record. I thought they did a good job, & Mike actually had a lot more solos. They were longer & pretty killer. I admit, it still doesn't sound dark enough to sound too much like the old stuff, but it was good to hear more heavy Staind. -Stuff closer to their roots. There's just something about the old stuff, though. I agree. -Something beautiful & absolutely powerful behind the emotion/darkness

[@BattlefieldPat]

Thanks!!!

[@24TV1]

@JLA12301985 Yeah, they are. I just wondered if you listened to the new one, since it's a little edgier and more aggressive like the older albums you like, even though it's still completely different in some ways. Aaron's emotion has always helped fuel the music, and he does have little sad or angry emotions these days to base the music (being a husband/father and happier man like you were saying). But yeah, Staind's more well known for the riffs. I just thought it was cool that they were able

[Verse 1] And it's been awhile since I could hold my head up high And it's been awhile since I first saw you And it's been awhile since I could stand on my own two feet again And it's been awhile since I could call you [Chorus] And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem The consequences that are rendered I've stretched myself beyond my means [Verse 2] And it's been awhile since I could say that I wasn't addicted and It's been awhile since I could say I love myself as well and It's been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up, just likе I always do And it's been awhile, but all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you [Chorus] And еverything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem The consequences that I've rendered I've gone and fucked things up again [Solo} [Bridge] And it's been awhile since I could look at myself straight And it's been awhile since I said I'm sorry And it's been awhile since I've seen the way the candles light your face And it's been awhile, but I can still remember just the way you taste [Chorus] And everything I can't remember As fucked up as it all may seem to be, and I know it's me I cannot blame this on my father He did the best he could for me [Outro] And it's been awhile since I could hold my head up high And it's been awhile since I said I'm sorry

[@staindstairway7]

is there any way to purchase this cd?

[@emmanuel_disla]

This version is pretty neat

[@andrewbrown22fret]

@138Babykiller that was a year ago. I'm not seeding it anymore. just download the videos and convert.

[@TimFurmanMusic2]

This is what they were called when i saw them before they got famous, i really didnt expect to find this on the internet lol silly me for underestimating the power of google. I wish i could go back to these days and tell aaron he would go single and record a song with charlie daniels, he'd say i sold my soul to get here, how bout u?

@ozby420 J Cat also means Category J

[@jonrichardson7779]

xxsolidsteelxx no it doesn't it's the first initial of each band member put together

[@JLA12301985]

I like the latest album, but I love Mike's guitar riffs, the solos are good yes. But Staind is known more for the guitar riffs.

[@megabadass30]

JLA12301985 have you checked out Mike's work with Jason Newsted's band?

[@TWKReviewsOLD]

@jeffreydmc Just use a vid to mp3 site.

[@TheManT]

I wonder how pissed these guys are at Aaron for leaving and then going on to achieve all he has. Must feel like "Shit could have been us..."

[@JLA12301985]

Yeah I love their new album, Tormented, dysfunction, & BTC were the very best. But at least they ain't still doing Illusion of progress type stuff. I like that album don't get me wrong, but it wasn't the best of Staind. If Staind took a trip back to their older stuff I'd love it, but it still wouldn't be the same right?

[@JLA12301985]

yeah he's still got it, but his music ain't as dark & angry, but yet there's nothing for him to be angry about. He's married with 3 daughters, & not he's 40, but his earlier stuff was & is better then the newer stuff hands down lol.

[@DavidJohnson-mu4sq]

I feel like his albums have been a natural progression of his growth as a man who didn't think too highly of himself into a man who comfortable in his belief in himself and his morals

[@jeffreydmc]

HELP. How can I get the J-Cat cd or mp3's?

[@cdf69]

[@24TV1]
