Staind - 4 Walls

[@HowieJH]

No one kills themselves - it's just Mike Mushok talking... I'll never forget my first Staind show back in early 1999 in New Hampshire. I was a depressed little 12 year old kid due to half of my family dying that idolized Staind and got to hang with Aaron and the band all night. Before the night was over the drummer Jon handed me an original copy of Tormented signed by the entire band. Great song, great band.

[@zyzir]

wow wtf!!! so lucky

[@hectorcollazo8845]

Make sure you treasure that memory for life now that Jon Wysocki is no longer among us. 😢😢 You and I as fellow Millennials (37 here) can agree that Staind rocked our teens. 🤘🤘

[@danigolmestre]

tormented is one of the most underrated albums in the rock history. all the songs from this album are very deep.

[@salemshepard6883]

Agree 100%.

[@r0xLask0]

This is one of their best songs ever... Nothing left to say.

[@PieroMinayaRojas]

Funny cause Staind also has a song called Nothing Left to Say

[@jaggercanney7821]

I’m totally with you on that, i wish more people would give this song credit

[@zyzir]

@@jaggercanney7821 was really their first song in the style they went with mostly with brake the cycle. big, monumental, important song by staind

[@Divine_Serpent_Geh]

@@PieroMinayaRojasYeah, amazing song as well. It’s has just a chill awesome main riff.

[@PaleCanid]

man I miss old Staind. Back in high school this was my favorite album, my favorite band. dysfunction was great, but then what happened? the rest that followed,well, they were'nt my Staind.A couple of songs here and there, but nothing like this album and dysfunction.These songs take me back to friends basments and highway underpass's with my headphones on full. Killing time on the train tracks behind the school. Petty deliquent fun with friends, or at least others in a similar situation as mine.

[@russthorn7205]

I feel you I like dark staind

[@spawn22222]

I know the guy who managed the studio, and he remembered Staind recording there. He was sure it was them. I asked him about it because Staind is from the city of Springfield, that I myself live in, and after seeing the band live, he remembered seeing them in the studio daily when tormented was being recorded. He didn't produce the album or anything, so he didn't know much about the band, but he remembered meeting them. Not many people came to that studio, so he immediately recognized Aaron.

[@levelmanny3726]

I've went through many dark times and this song has never inspired any suicidal ideas; it has always scared me more just as I got closer to it. Artists like Aaron Lewis have helped me process these problems, as without it, I would have been so fucking lost!

[@ryanbobbitt5551]

Same here brother, cheers to another year!

[@spenceralmstrom5854]

This song absolutely destroyed me. I heard it for the first time about a month ago. I survived suicide because of a phone call, and until I heard this song I never ever heard something so dark and relatable. I can’t describe it. I’m just glad this song exists and I’m glad I exist too.

[@zyzir]

@@spenceralmstrom5854 word much love brother

[@andrewvanhalen1984]

Just bought this at FYE for 20 bucks, dope album. If any staind fan catches this pick it up its so worth it.

[@fabianavila885]

Honest best album next to chapter v

[@KuKoR6]

Definitely one of my all time favorite songs by Staind. Aaron never sings this live for some reason. Ive been to 19 Staind concerts and have never heard it live. Staind is one of the most underrated bands out there. Theres not too many singers as talented as Aaron.

[@zyzir]

this is their best album but it was made during a time none of the band members liked, too heavy, too dark, hits too close to home, brings back not good memories, thats why they hate this album and wont perform much from it and will never re-release it

[@kesykess]

I was 13 when I first heard this song... 12 years ago. it really helped me in some of those BAD days. Staind made my adolescence less lonely, less hard ,and they made me understand that I was not alone. .So thank you guys !!!

[@mikeJRthe2nd]

They sold out? No, they just changed. Aaron isn't the drugged out fucker that he use to be. He has a family now, he feels likes someone. The direction of the music from Staind WILL change because of that. That's what makes Staind so nice to listen to, the music doesn't force itself to go in any direction it doesn't belong, it just flows.

[@staindstairway7]

i cant believe they went from this to what they are now. in this whole album you can feel the emotions and pain, but in their new stuff, well it just gets old. this is the staind that i fell in love with. this is the staind that rocked.

[@Omnib88]

Such a beautiful song...I still have the original album!!

[@patrickgrondines3254]

did you get it from one of their early shows?

[@jaggercanney7821]

Tormented is a perfect example of an album that helps people through the darkest times of they’re life

[@Still-Struggling]

Johnny Aprils bass in this song is absolutely killer...No pun intended XD

[@alexstein934]

Right after Staind made this album, Durst didn't want to put them on a record label because of the pic on the front. But after he heard how much people loved it Staind/Tormented he went ahead and put them on it.

[@fajitas4every1]

I think it would be awesome if they could re-release this CD on their label and get it out there to the masses.

[@zyzir]

its their best album, but they dont like it because its just that dark and heavy and personal

[@elijahbrink4596]

​@@zyzirWhat makes you say that? I'm just curious. What do you know about their opinions on the album?

[@ghostrecon3834]

stop lying! it’s not that they don’t want to, they’re just scared to because of all they’ve been through. they were in a lot of pain and it’s terrifying to think some people can relate to it

[@1Rumblebuffin]

this song is so great sad!! but it s also great to see how aaron has changed

[@MoonBabyB]

Best "getting high depressive songs" ever? This and Cold's "Same Drug" If they don't make you want to change your life/and or do yourself in, I don't know what does!

[@PayPuhChaySuh]

Tormented was discontinued after only 1500 original copies, but you can find bootlegs almost anywhere. Ebay being at the top of the list.

[@RegistrationCop]

I could not disagree. I remember when I was at one of the low points in my life - and I was listening to this.. I got depressed and cried... I felt like I could relate to the song totally..

wow, i'm like a huge staind fan and i've never heard this song before, now i love it, staind rocks '96-'08

[@wetthecheat]

this is one of my favorite Staind songs, and my second favorite CD, Cycle was my favorite, but this one was so raw and powerful. I love it. and also, the CD is for sale at all of their shows (or it was a year ago last time I saw them). Although I got one of the originals... it's not too unique anymore... haha

Amazing how many people are lost on what he's singing about

[@jasonderos637]

Daniel!!! Thank you for this! I had this album and lost it. You've brought back some parts of me I've missed.

[@PayPuhChaySuh]

This is one of Aaron Lewis' most emotional and intense songs he ever wrote. Instant Classic.

[@Schluuma]

Aaron didnt write the lyrics to this song but I bet it still hits him to his core singing the song

[@Skoot666]

"feel the joy as the needle hits my vein". Gives me goosebumps

[@justifiedbydeath]

Can't believe he was 24 when this was released.

[@BxSQUIRREL]

aaron writes the realest lyrics.. not to many artist can express themselves the way he does

[@jaggercanney7821]

Aaron didn’t write this song tho

[@JRC99]

@@jaggercanney7821 Absolutely correct- and if you think about it you can sort of tell. Aaron doesn't usually write violent lyrics like these. Sure, he growls 'you will feel my torment driving you insane' in Mudshuvel/Mudshovel, but flat out referring to cutting someone, or stomping their head? That's never been his style.

[@Diortem]

It expresses a lot! I haven't been in those kind of strong situations but I can feel them through Aaron's voice and this whole melody which I really love and I always feel like singing it. Just a great song lml STAIND Forever!

[@FFLITMiko]

That's pretty awesome. Problem is, not a lot of Staind fans know that Tormented exists. It's damn near impossible to come across anymore because it was discontinued after only a few thousand copies. So I can't really blame them. The only way I know about it is I researched their albums to find out what others I could buy.

[@SinCityTx]

@HellMoth95 Mmhmmm..u are correct. "Tolerate" is the opening track where the loading of the gun can be heard, "4Walls" (the last track) being where the trigger gets pulled at the end. :)

[@fingerpupet]

i love how people are arguing over comments for a song that is a bout depression. we wouldnt be listening to it unless we all felt somewhat the same way.

No, they recorded their album in a recording studio in Springfield Massachusetts. That recording studio is closed down now, but it's famous for being where Staind recorded their first album. I don't know where you got the basement idea.

About a year ago I was in a really dark place. Someone I really cared about was in a dangerous relationship, constant gaslighting and abuse. I was in such a low place I was willing to sacrifice myself to deal with it. The sick fuck who was the tormentor was close to seeing what a person who’s lost everything can truly do. So I come here often to remind myself of what I am capable of, and what I’ve overcome.
